Watch out SF, here comes Kwancerly

Prelude: A weekend in Castro Valley and San Francisco with my good friends Kwai and Nancy. Together, we are Kwancerly!

This was a fun thrift store.

Kwai's rabbit! It was hard to take a non-blurry picture. Any suggestions Nattie?

We went on a lakewalk in the rain

And rode the Bart!

The Vagina Monologues

Kwancerly just went to see the Vagina Monologues, and I have to say I am deeply inspired. I am so proud to be a woman after seeing that! Women should embrace and honor themselves and not forget to notice and appreciate our vaginas. The show brings to light how some women tend to be uncomfortable with talking about their sexuality (unless you play ultimate frisbee) and makes you feel good to have a vagina! Vagina is such a taboo word that its fun to talk about. Vagina! Vagina! Heeheehee.

If you haven't seen it, make sure you do!

"We're obsessed because we're oppressed (with sex.)"

CastleRock!

This Saturday, I went on an OPERS (Office of Physical Education, Recreation, and Sports) trip to Castle Rock to go rock climbing. There were two awesome guides who really knew what they were doing - they gave us shoes, ropes, and helmets, set up the ropes, gave us a belaying lesson, and off we went! Climbing this huge rock overlooking a forest blanketed in fog.

Goathead Rock in Castle Rock Park, California

Freefallin' is fun!

Climbing shoes are pretty.

The hardest part of the climb. The idea was to hang from the ledge where my right hand is and pull yourself up to the upper cave.

A huge part of climbing is mental. You really need to trust yourself (and your belay buddy!) to get anywhere.
