I guess it's too late for me to say "Happy Independence Day, self!" and it's kinda inappropriate too. Well, I don't really feel completely happy with the thought of being independent. Maybe others would feel lucky that they don't have their parents or family on their side but I'm not one of them. So yeah, kuya and I just got back here in Cavite last Monday. But before we left the US territories, we took the chance to visit daddy's cousin in LA, have a stroll at Citywalk/Universal Studios and the Walk of Fame as well. As usual, it seems surreal getting to all those places I thought I would never reach. Like, I feel so blessed having a very hardworking father who made us experience all of these. It's just sad that things are temporary.
I believe I took the heaviest step of my life in LAX. The moment I got my boarding pass, there's a sudden feeling of emptiness. I cried a bit while waiting for us to be checked-in. I cried on the plane. (So now, I know how hard it is for an OFW to be leaving his/her family.) I also cried when we got home. That's how sad I am. But right now, I'm trying to cope up. Aside from adjusting to time zone and weather, I'm also coping up with heavier responsibilities like doing chores at home and most importantly, aim on getting better grades.
I don't expect for something great to happen this semester. I just hope that things will be lighter.
PS. But independence is teaching me to be more responsible, I guess. :)
I was actually about to post our Disneyland trip a while ago but then I accidentally refreshed the page so all the things that I wrote were erased. So I decided to just put the pictures and a caption. -__-
May 4-6, 2013 :)
We passed by hundreds of wind mills in Coachella, CA.
We arrived at Anaheim at 1pm. Looked for a hotel. Bought tickets in Disneyland.
Dinner at Shakey's.
The following day, we woke up early to go to Disneyland.
We saw the Queen of Hearts first. She looks a bit creepy but we still had a picture with her. Hihi.
We rode on a train that passes through all sides of Disneyland
We watched the Disneyland Band perform.
Met Chip and Dale.
The castle of Princess Aurora.
BELLE LOOKS SO PRETTY!❥
Rode on the monorail and on Nemo's Submarine Voyage
Kuya and I at the Mad Tea Party ride.
Lunch at Denny's. Had pasta with super huge meatballs.
Luckily, when we went back to Disneyland after lunch, there were fewer people taking their picture here so we got the chance to have a photo with Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney. :)
We drove cars at Autopia in Tommorowland.
Lined up for 30 minutes to have a ride at Gadget's Go Coaster.
It's a Small World!
Raft ride to Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island
I also tried the Astro Orbitor.
Before we headed back to the hotel, we watched first the Soundsational Parade. I was at awe to see the Disney characters. I felt like a kid again.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
The Soundsational Parade recorded by daddy.
As we were about to take the exit we saw Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse so we had a picture with them too. Minnie kissed me. Like wow.
The following day, we went to LA. We had lunch at Chowking which is near Jollibee and Goldilocks. And our last stop: HOLLYWOOD.

- Fun.
This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
