. It's kinda sad that I'm leaving, because I'm going to be leaving my sunnyoasis to go back to Vancouver. But I'm way more thrilled to be coming home, ever since the start of this trip all I wanted to do is stay on the computer and stay updated with friends and the city. But I actually somewhat enjoyed California. Especially the Los Angeles night works, Hollywood walk of Fame , the OC/ family there.My trip. Our trip, I had a blast. Me, my family and I, went on a LONGDRIVE, and trust me, it was long. About 22-24 hr drive and only stayed about 5 hours in a creepy motel, to get some sleep for the driver (dad). Every other hour I would be either asking if we were there yet or \i'd be throwing up or about to throw up when and if they put the windows up and not turn on the A/C. One thing to know about me. I get car sick easily, I constantly need fresh air, and this long ass drive didn't help that. My family kind of caught on my "puking disorder" as they call it, because I'd try to throw up even if I didn't eat anything, and kept the windows down as much as possible. I figured that PalmSprings, CA would be really nice and had that just right Summer atmosphere.. but clearly, from my bloody nose droopings on my shirt, it was as hot or even HOTTER than being in ASIA, about 35-40 deg. And another thing, why does the US have to be so not Canadian, I actually find it more annoying than amusing. Although, my "restroom" scene was pretty funny.
Anyways. I did not like it at first. We stayed at a resort called, Vista Mirage. There was nothing to do at first but to stay inside and enjoy the nice coolness...aaaah. I think the weather for me was so bad, that I almost had a heat stroke. At any rate, I eventually found something to do. There were three things that I enjoyed doing at our stay here.
table tennis.Tivo.monopoly.
First off, I'm not a big ping-pong fan. I mean it's so boring and sometimes fun to watch. I played it a couple of times in gym class but never really liked playing it. Well here, there was absolutely nothing to do but this, tennis, or swimming. Their pools kind of disgust me because there were bugs in there once I put my goggles on. Yeah, that was yesterday, so today I'm taking the time to blog than go insect-gargling in the pool. Anyways, I never really liked table tennis because I thought I was so horrible at it, I saw it in the olympics and I thought, wow this is so easy. Well because it was gym class. Now I played against Lozel, my friend who's like this table tennis champ, and I thought hmm, I'll totally pown her in her own game, then guess what, I got totally put on my ass...it was bad, as in I was sweating and running like a beheaded chicken. Then I knew table tennis wasn't for me. But I played against my dad, he too apparently was a ping-pong person and so we played for like three days, every day we'd play. I totally killed him in the third day. I found table tennis to be freaking awesome. I'm kind of hyped just hearing it. Table tennis....
Next, Tivo. So Kumar was right, Tivo is awesome. For the days that I was indoors, I was basically in front of the TV. I was flipping through varieties of channels, and omg, it's just really hard to express in words. Last night I was up watching Animal Cops, to Top Chef, To Works of Art. It was heck crazy, even working out in the morning, I'd ask for the remote to the TV in their fitness room and watch baseball or WNBA, which btw had the right work out equipments that I need.. for my QUADS. But that's another story.
Last but not least, the board game.. MONOPOLY. Wow, I never knew I could get hooked so badly. It was so good that I was bad. I played monopoly for the last 3-4 nights. I totally pwned my brother and my sister, and not only that, even when I lost today (went bankrupt, sold all my properties to the bank because I didn't want my brother/sister/dad to have them for free) I still want to PLAY. I just simply love it. If you're thinking of buying me a present in the future for anything, it would be monopoly.
I don't know why I had to wait until I got to America to do these kind of stuff. I'm kind of glad that I went though, because it takes away the drama I had in Canada (AB specifically), it was just nice.
We also went to OrangeCounty to see Tita Diane, Russ (her husband), and ate Ruby and kuya AR (stands for Adrian Rivera). It was such a great 2 days staying with them, I had so much fun. First we went to Laguna Beach, and it was good/bad. Good because I had a blast seeing them, and there were lots of hot bods there ;P, bad because, there were killer waves and they didn't help my ankle to a faster recovery, also kuya AR didn't bring his swimwear, nor his surfboard, so no surfing lessons. The OC was 3.5 hours away from Palm Springs (where we're staying), but my sisters and I stayed at ate Ruby and kuya AR's apartment for one night. Okay, they're a sort of party bunch, and ate Ruby has major hook ups and cook ups from everywhere. It was such a ride going with them. Their lifestyle was basically party,paper and personality. The "it" look in the OC was skinny/toned. As much as I want to compliment myself, but I totally didn't fit in. I had so much fun in their "kick-back", a chill and mellow get together , that I thought would be one of the regular parties in Vancouver. Once she told me what an actual "party" was in the OC, Vancouver would be so rated 1. It was fast and I couldn't keep up with it. Oh well, I enjoyed either ways. It was just so sad saying goodbye, I wish we had more time.
Ate Ruby was your normal rebel girl in the OC, she sounds exactly like my bitch cousin that I hate with all my heart, and you can bet your money that if you tell me to abandon her I will. But ate Ruby's not a bitch at all though, she might be a hardcore party girl but she's totally awesome and welcoming. I really wish the best of luck to her though, she's been in pretty bad shape (I don't mean physically as in her looks) and she's holding her ground. She took us to her friend's kick back and it was awesome. I wish I had a big sister like her, but I sort of don't. She's nice and friendly and she's just so AWESOME, but her lifestyle, I don't think I fit it with it. Anyways she took us to Hollywood and LA, it's great. I really wish I had more time.
Well I'm going home soon in about 2-3 days, see you soon vancity :)
