Wow, February 2014 is in full swing. Time sure does fly when you're a busy butterfly, living in the city of San Francisco and involved in various awesome activities, groups and social gatherings. Yup, that is moi! 

Happy New Year my friends. It's been two months since my last post. I know, it's not good. (according to social media platforms) I am big on the social media, but to write a blog post, I like to put more time and thought in what I really want to say and share to the world. 

I do Tweet and manage two accounts: @sfmovingroovin and @DogpatchStFest. Check them out if you want to know what's going on in the city, communities, events and other news worthy material that I like to share. I do have a Tumblr page, Instagram account and google.com/+vanessaaquino for Google+. I think I have covered just about the main social media engines. I do use Facebook, but find myself using it a little less, maybe. 

With the holiday rush, 49ers game, a tour of the Candlestick Park, events with Google+, Dogpatch Neighborhood Association meetings, Yosemite Landscape Photography Trip, a couple of Warriors game, I, literally haven't had a moment to share my thoughts or better yet, to sit quietly and write. I do miss writing and do think about it almost daily. I really like to have fun and love people more so than ever. I love building relationships, staying active and involved in things that matter to me. I believe all the above is what keeps me happy, young and energetic. 

Aren't we all suppose to do things we love to remain happy and have fun while at it? 

I really love life. I find myself doing a variety of things because I CAN. I would like to show you with pictures instead of more writing (for now). May your 2014 year be full of sunshine, fun and love.

Quarantine Times: Third Weekend

Quarantine Times: Third Weekend These past three weeks I've been diggin' into my movin' groovin' music vault (aka cd's, cassette tapes and do have 1 8-track, LOL). In my late teens and twenties, I listened to lots of different music (I'm blessed that I was open to ALL music as it made me appreciate different genres). Since places, I love to go to such as libraries, events, and museums are closed and my friends quarantining I am finding myself playing music. Like I'm going back to my music. Back then, I used to listen to a cd or cassette tape from beginning to end and got to know the album real good. Here's one that I would play to death. #MikiHoward "Ain't Nobody Like You" is my favorite of all. I hope you enjoy it and dance to it. It's a piece of feel-good music. I will continue to share music with you all. Feel free to share your music favorites with me. :) It will keep us going. ~vanessa ross

Ten years in Dogpatch

It's the first weekend of August and I am feeling pretty blessed. This blog post is dedicated to my neighborhood Dogpatch Historic District. Some of you know I enjoy staying busy with not only with work, (plus invovled in other projects) but am active in my beloved Dogpatch Neighborhood of ten years. I've been a member of the Dogpatch Neighborhood Association since 2004 and in 2009 I was voted in as the Membership Coordinator/Corresponding Secretary. I'm currently still on board as I was voted in again early this year. Thank you neighbors. The growth of Dogpatch has flourished beautifully with the help of local newspapers, NY Times, Travel & Leisure Magazine and more plus social media.  More condos are currently being developed and more yet to hit the ground soon. The Muni T line on 3rd Street has definitely help bring people into the area. In addition, the Dogpatch Saloon is under new management and reopened last Monday. It is more inviting and enliven's the

Proud to be a Native San Franciscan

The past six months (or should I say years living in Dogpatch District) I've been blessed with amazing experiences I had not expected. As some of you know me well enough, I stay active in Dogpatch community since I moved here almost 14 years ago.  I believe the universe wanted me to live on this side of town in San Francisco before anything was really here.  I thought (and still do) volunteering every year for almost 13 years, is something great to do for the community and the neighborhood I live in. I've seen it grow and grow, almost like a child like where you want to protect it, defend it and let it grow to something so wonderful. Really, it's not me, it's the community that I fed off of over the years because of their passion, drive and determination in protecting this area - Dogpatch Historic District. Summer 2009, I was elected to be on board of Dogpatch Neighborhood Association as Member Coordinator/Corresponding Secretary. Re-elected last October 2015 f
