Tonight I went to “A Conversation with Kamala Harris” for her book, “107 Days”. Moderated by D.L. Hughley. It was insightful/inspiring to hear her experience, & Hughley was a great & humorous moderator. It was also fun to feel the energy in the room when she talked about her roots in the Bay Area.

October is Filipino American History Month! In this photo, my brother, my cousin Alicia, and I are *not* Filipino. But all my other cousins in this photo are! Shout out to y’all! Love y’all! & my Aunt Nimfa (not pictured here). And now I set out to eat as much Filipino food this month as I can! 😋

Why am I like this? 🤭 #earthquake

Text from a friend: “You good?” My response: “Yeah. My bed was rocking at 3am and not in a good way lol” with him laughing emoji reacting to the reply.

The airport in Palm Springs, California will never get old for me. I just love the mid-century modern aesthetic and walking to your gate in the outdoor air.

At the theatre for the double feature of both Tim Burton’s Batman films: “Batman” and “Batman Returns”, remastered in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. This was my Batman I grew up with. And Keaton is still my favorite Batman.

Watch the gap. No, like, really, really watch it.

Sign at the BART that says, “WATCH THE GAP”. It shows a person bent over with hands on knees, with a dashed line from his eyes going to the gap between the platform and the train.

Enjoyed the Delta One Lounge & Sky Club reveal event at SEA! This is the first multi-lounge concept: 3rd floor is DSC & 4th floor is D1L. It’s open in the middle so you can see up into the other. Thanks so much to Delta for including us. I will cherish this memory!

Not sure when they put this up, but just noticed the new BART train color line signage. Hello, “ROY G. BIV”. 🌈

Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue squares that say R, Y, G, and B, in order of the rainbow.

After the layoff in 2023, I rejoined the Google Developer Expert program. Fast-forward a couple years, & I was invited to speak at the GDE Summit. It was an honor to share my thoughts with GDEs & Googlers. I am grateful to still be a part of this community, & the friends I have made.

Checked out the DFT (Downtown First Thursdays) last night, which just relaunched in SF. Entertainment zone event with food and drinks on the street. Watched @thebobthedragqueen.bsky.social’s DJ set. It was a packed, but fun event and I plan to check out more. Glad they are doing these in the city!

I didn’t realize I was listening to that much RuPaul. LOL. Also surprised Lil Nas X didn’t make the cut because I would have thought I listen to him way more than some of these artists. #YouTubeMusicRecap #2024recap

Top 5 artists this year was Billie Eilish, TR/ST, RuPaul, Dorian Electra, Holy Other.

I have become the person who gets to the concert early to get a good balcony seat because I’m too old to stand down on the floor. 👵🏻 Seeing TR/ST.

Throw back to when I was seated next to Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines, during a roundtable chat at #SMLSummit. No biggie. (Just kidding. 😆 I was beyond excited!) #SkyMilesLife

Jina @jina.social · 14/11/2024

The last part of our tour they gave us gate tickets so we could learn how gate agents monitor flights to potentially upgrade or release seats during delays and do protections. Also baggage claim under airport, and flight departure and arrival. #SkyMilesLife #SMLSummit

Jina @jina.social · 14/11/2024

Wow! Delta CEO, Ed Bastian joined us at lunch today. We got to ask a few questions, which I volunteered to document in FigJam. He was a delight to meet! And his responses were great! #SMLSummit #SkyMilesLife

As a designer, I loved learning about colors, patterns, lighting, & other details considered in the new design. Also, our butts were among the first to sit in the new cabin design seats! Also they gave us Missoni kits. #SMLSummit #SkyMilesLife
