| Love, Life, & LostOne week passes by way too quickly. So last week I decided to start Spring Break early by taking Friday off and going to L.A. with some of my girls. Instead of driving or taking a plane we ended up going with a tour group, but there was a lot of freedom, so it wasn't as bad as it might seem.
Friday, March 21:
We all arrived at Downtown San Francisco at about 7:10-7:15, since we didn't see the bus three out of six of the girls went to Starbucks for a wake me up. By the time the three of us got back, the tour bus was waiting for us and we couldn't bring it on the bus so we had to drink fast. The whole morning and most of the afternoon was spent picking up other members of the tour and going to our destination. We arrived in Hollywood about 4:30-4:45 i believe, possibly earlier but it took us 8 hours to get there cause of all the rest stops. Browsed around some shops, took some pictures, and watched some break dancers. We left Hollywood to go to the Music Center. Took some pictures and admired the sun setting. Then we headed off to Monterey Park, where there was Asian food :] We had some Pho and then got back on our tour bus and our last stop was the Inn we were staying at. Yep an Inn, not a hotel, but it wasnt bad at all. After splitting into our rooms and settling in, we all met up in one room and then the lover showed up after a bit. My first reaction was, "He's a GIANT!!!"since its been a while. And then I introduced him to the girls and then we ended up playing Mario Kart and watching t.v. for the rest of the night cause the next morning we had to leave the Inn pretty early to get to Universal Studios.

Joyce, Julie, and I slept through our 3 alarms and ended up getting ready just in time to leave. We had a continental breakfast which was served in the dining area of the Inn. It wasn't much but hey it was FREE :]. Since we had some time left, we asked our tour guide to take a picture of us outside the Inn since it was such a nice day and we finally made it to LA :] Our bus driver, whom we thought was nice is such a FUCKING PERV. Right after we were done taking pictures, he asked us if we were in high school or college and how old we were. Seriously, it's none of your fucking business and why don't you ask other people those questions? Not normal at all. I fell asleep on the ride to Universal, it was a nice nap. Universal was actually pretty fun but I guess it was cause it was my first time there. We went on all the main attractions and I bought a Duff energy drink >_<. On the "Revenge of the Mummy Ride" I got a bruise on my arm cause of the arm bar. My skin is way too sensitive. I loved the Jurassic Park Ride too, it was fun. Saw Shrek 4-D, Fear factor live, Water World, Special Effects Stages, and also went on a Studio Tour. We left Universal at around 6:30 and headed over to a buffet. Since the 6 of us didn't feel like a buffet we walked around the plaza and ended up getting some food from Albertsons. We ran into this douche bag though. We were crossing the street and he didn't stop at the stop sign, so some of us made some comments about how there was a stop sign and he didn't stop. Being the asshole that he was, he put his car in reverse and backed up just to say, "What did you say ?" So we had a bitch fit with him cause he was trying to put the blame on us, when clearly he ran a stop sign. That ignorant asswipe, but nonetheless he had to have the last word so he drove off and then we backed up again. After that was done we met up with the rest of the group an hour later and went back to the Inn. While I was getting some stuff ready to spend the night at the lovers house, the rest of the 5 girls went to the pool. They didn't know but I saw them from the window. It was very funny from my angle. I know they had fun but Joyce and Julie forgot their room key and so they had to get new ones, which meant that I would be locked out in the morning. So at babe's house I exploredand looked at a lot of pictures. Then showered and watched "Good Luck Chuck". We ended up falling asleep and not finishing the movie.

Sunday, March 23:
Woke up slightly behind schedule so rushed and had to sneak outta the house cause the lover's neighbors are "looking after him" cause his mom was outta town. Snuck into the backseat and played dead ;]. On the next block I switched seats and he drove me back to the Inn to change and leave some shit behind for Disneyland. At a stoplight, babe was playing his ukelele. Pretty cute I have to say. I was a tad late to get on the bus, and it turns out that the last person on the bus has to sing...too bad I was getting sick and my throat hurted. But they let me off. Arrived at Disneyland around 9 and we stayed there for 13 hours. We didn't get to go on a lot of rides, lining up took a lot of time but we went on the main ones and it was pretty good. Overall a good experience at Disneyland. The best part was the fireworks. They lasted for a good 35 minutes and it was so romantic, too bad he had to work. Bad part was that we waited for over 70 minutes for Splash Mountain and when it was our turn, we all stroke a pose for the picture, but apparently my pose looked like i was flipping off the camera, so they deleted the picture. We were all upset cause it was deleted and I WAS NOT flipping off nothing. So we complained and they gave us another ride without having to line up. I ended up buying the picture on the second run, it definitely was not as great as the first one probably was, but oh well. I learned my lesson. Left Disneyland at 10 and went back to the Inn to get rest since we were leaving the next morning. Babe came over and we went to Ralphs to get water and utensils cause Sannie and Sylvia wanted to eat their Kimchee Noodles. They ended up not eating it cause it was late and they fell asleep before the water was done boiling. I went back to the other room, showered, relaxed, and we decided to call it a night around 12:30-1.
In line for Astro Blasters (Thanks to the photographer for taking the picture, but he sucked. )

Monday, March 24:
We slept through all the alarms and wake up calls. Woke up right when we were suppose to be downstairs, so the three of us rushed to pack up all our belongings and change. Sylvia knocked on the door and I told her we just woke up. Then I closed the door on accident. I wasn't thinking and I felt pretty bad. Got down to the lobby right on time and gave the luggage to the bus driver. Said my Goodbyes to babe and that was the end of L.A. I actually wished I didn't wake up late, that way I could've had more time to say good bye. So the last day of this tour we went on the scenic route back to San Francisco. We had a 20 minute stop in Santa Barbara, which passed by way too quickly cause majority of the time was spent lining up for the rest room. The breeze was definitely nice since L.A. was very hot and not windy. After Santa Barbara we hit up this little Danish town/ village called Solvang. It was quite strange and boring, everything there looked exactly a like and the only interesting thing was the windmill. So we stopped there for a good 45 minutes and so we browsed around. Sannie and I got hungry and we ended up getting Subway which was on the other side of the little village. Then from there we went to another city which I can't recall right now and had lunch there. It was another buffet...so Julie, Joyce, and Doreen went to it while Sylvia, Sannie, and I bought some stuff from FoodsCo and just had a little picnic..kinda. Then I had an extreme bloody nose which lasted 15 minutes. Pretty disturbing and gross. I walked into the Buffet with two tissue balls in my nose holes so I could use the restroom and clean up. Thanks Sannie and Sylvia for helping me out. After the bloody nose ended, we back on the bus and started heading back to San Francisco. We arrived in Gilroy or somewhere near Gilroy around 4 for a restroom break and to get gas. Then did the usual routes to Cupertino, San Jpse, Fremont, and Oakland to drop off the other people. Arrived in Downtown San Francisco at 7 and my dad came to pick me up.

That was basically the highlight of my spring break cause since coming back to San Francisco, I am still sick :[. Which ruined the rest of the week for me because I ended up feeling like crap, seeing a doctor, going to my optometrist, and trying to rest. There's only one more day left and I still have a lot of assignments to do. I missed the last two days of work since I'm sick. I kinda miss work but I kinda don't. Less stress for now. I think I also got PINK EYE today. Definitely not a good way to end break and start school. But on the bright side, those 4 days helped me relaxed and get my mind off somethings. Moms is leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow night, her trip to visit my aunt has now turned out to be a trip to my aunt's funeral... This has been the most eventful month yet. I actually wish I could go with my mom. This was a pretty long blog, I doubt anyone would read this...
One last important thing:
Rest In Paradise Fei Yee Po: Chan Kum Ho
You are definitely the greatest aunt ever. Possibly one of the only people who spoiled me with their love. I really can't believe you're gone. I remember those early Saturday mornings when you would sleep over, and how you'd tell me stories of the past. I always thought to myself, "But Yee Po, you've already told me this story." But now, I miss it more than ever. Your love for all night Mah Jong with the family, your sophisticated style, lovely designer bags and frames, your elegance, your look, basically just everything about you was so positive. You taught me how to be a better person, how to love what I have, to not settle for less cause you knew I could be so much more. It's been almost two years since you left S.F. and I didn't get a chance to say bye and now you're gone. I know you wouldn't want me to cry but it's so hard to look at our pictures and not let a single tear fall. You were always the optimistic one in the family, or in other words the peace maker. And you could tell everyone loved her, she was generous, caring, extremely open-minded, loving, genuine, strong, beautiful, humorous,inteilligent, and full of happiness. Although you're gone, I won't try to dwell, I'll try to incorporate the great things about you in me.You'll always be loved, cherished, honored, and remembered.
---Love has no boundaries what so ever.

| It has been such a long time since I've been back here. So I guess I`ll update with a picture from Boat. I guess you could say it was like a Burbank Reunion, except the guys are missing, but we`ll get them in the other pictures that didn't arrive yet. We are missing a lot of the girls, but this will have to do. So Boat wasn't that great, it was alright. The lines to take pictures were like 2 hours and it killed the rest of the dance. But good experience. I`ll finish with the update a bit later :D

I love these girls. Although many of us don't talk as much as we use to, they're definitely special to me. (sorry for the bad quality)

| Summer school is over and my summer has finally started. Kind of. So, I've been working at Family Connections, for about a month now and it's great. The kids there are so adorable, some pick on me, but it's alright. I'm usually there from 2-6. So pass by the window and you`ll see me working with the little kids. It's funny how I use to actually go there for day care and now I'm working there. Yesterday I went to watch "Simpson's the Movie" It's not all that great but it was nice meeting 7 new people. We had a guy sit in the trunk since Adrian had a 6 seater car and we went to Wendy's. So Also, yesterday I had a job interview to work at Joe's Cable Car . It went smooth and today I had training. I want to thank Sal, for training me, even though she didn't think she helped that much. I think you were great :] We both need to take things a little bit slower and breath. So I am now currently working 2 jobs, I am a teacher's assistant, the kids call me Ms. Becky sometimes. And I am also a waitress and busgirl. Pretty interesting. I hope everyone's having a good summer. San Francisco finally has sunny weather without the fog. I`ll come back to update this sometime soon.

| I'm currently watching a drama called "Devil Beside You", it's Taiwanese and the main characters are extremely cute and adorable. If you guys are interested, Click the title . Since I haven't updated much, I am currently attending summer school and I start work at Family Connections next week. In summer school I feel like I'm back in middle school. People are obnoxious and racist. Or at least they dislike Chinese people and they are so ignorant. My teacher doesn't know his material and class is about 2.5 hours long. Anyways, away from my complaining, it's actually sunny here but windy. -- I'll finish updating later!
Edit: Saturday, June 30th ,10:54 AM
I finally finished the 20 episodes of that drama at 3:30 this morning. The last episode made me cry the hardest. This drama is pretty damn good. Although there are a few parts where it is overly dramatic, it has a lot of twists. I loved it! Now for a romance similar to that to happen.
Listen :]
