Orange County is so nice! I wish I lived there. I like the temperature there way better than the temperature in LA. I went over to Courtney's house. Felix & I sat outside for awhile before Andy came, then we thought it was okay to go into the house since she left the door unlocked for us. We sat around and admired her living room until she came. Her dog has such big eyes.. but it's still cute! We headed over to Mochilato in Courtney's car. The mochi is so yummy there! There were so many flavors but I only tried Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Coffee, Tiramisu, Green Tea, Red Bean, and we also got Almond (but I hate almond flavored things so I gave the whole thing to Felix.) They also had macarons there! But they were $2 each.. more expensive than the other places I know. Pfft. After, we went to Korean BBQ at Cham Soot Gol in Garden Grove. We thought it was $13 before 6pm, but it was actually before 2:30pm. We went there at around 3:30pm, so we had to pay $16.99. Blah so much money wasted. My best had orientation at UCI (we passed their medical center) but I couldn't go visit! I'll go back to visit the campus some other time :D We went shopping at the Block at Orange. Ah I wanted Tastea but I didnt want to spend more money. Starbucks sufficed.. We went to Downtown Disney & Courtney showed us her "tricks." We found so many hidden Disneyland gems! & did you know that Disneyland lets out like 200+ cats every night to hunt down mice? I didn't know that. They were so cute. We found a hidden movie playing & got to watch Bolt & the fireworks! We also bought some Bun-yays to try (they were pretty good but fattening.) We headed over to the Yorba Linda top of the world for city lights (: so pretty.

I went to AutoCon today & I had so much fun! AutoCon2012♥ Felix picked me up at around 1pm because I overslept (hehe.. but Danh & Maggie overslept too so it's okay) and we headed over to Baldwin Park's Target. I went around and noticed things to buy for college, so I'll come back later! We stopped by Starbucks and chilled for awhile until Danh got back home from picking Kalene & Maggie up. I got my favorite Starbucks drink again! We all met up at Danh's house after and we piled up into Felix's car. We were finally off to the Santa Anita Racetrack! There were so many people there. Right when we got in, we saw a white R8! I was hungry since I didn't eat lunch (& neither did everyone else except Felix) so we went to the Jogasaki Burrito truck & I got my shrimp fiesta burrito. It was deeeelicious. We walked around and saw a bunch of pretty cars. I'd name all of them here but that'd take forever! There were a lot of bimmers and S2000s. I saw DJ Shogun too! Omg, he was so amazing. I got some Fluff Ice (yeah I'm such a fatass lol) and went around looking for Dannie Riel! We waited so long in the line, which wasn't really an actual line, for her! I finally got my picture and autograph on the back of my AutoCon ticket :D She was so pretty ahh. We left to go to Santa Anita Mall after. I didn't see Keemlin or Perry there ): He asked me to go watch Dark Knight Rises (round two!? heh) & get some grub with them, but I couldn't. Felix, Maggie, Danh, Kalene, and I headed over to Ray Rays after and saw Helen there. We played Egyptian War while waiting for our food. Man I'm broke now. We headed over to Anthony's house after to meet up with him & Sebastian and played some bp. Yeaaah that's mah day. (:

At around 7:30, babe picked me up for dinner at Alondra's! I've been craving hot wings & it was so delicious. I love this place so much. I've been meaning to try their pizza, but tonight I was feeling wings. I suppose 6 pieces w/fries was enough for me, since I bought dessert when we met up with the rest of them. Afterwards, we met up with Courtney, Hiram, Alexis, & Omari at Atlantic Times Square! (: I tried thai tea fluff this time. It just tasted like I was drinking thai tea. I think original fluff is the best still. Bb didn't help me finish it, but it's okay. I still had room in my tummy for my fluff ice! Omari & them left earlier to go pick up Danh & Omari's cousin, Kenny. Courtney came with me & Felix so we walked around Atlantic Times Square for a little more then we were off to Edwards El Monte! We waited in line for awhile until they all came. I saw ChrisYau & Carpus! ^__^ Well anyways, Felix & Danh left to go to Tea Bar while Omari & everyone else left to AU79. Courtney and I just chilled in line until it started moving (they started letting people in at like 11pm.) And then we noticed.. we didn't have our tickets. We started freaking out as we inched closer and closer to the door D: We didn't want to get bad seats!! But we ended up waiting until the line wasn't there anymore until Danh and Felix came with the tickets that they picked up from Omari. Omg, I was one of those annoying talkative people during the movie but it was so damn GOOD. Dark Knight Rises is the best movie ever! It was my first midnight premiere too.

Hi I'm back from Highlander Orientation! It was a fun, mesmerizing experience. I was able to meet so many people! I got up at 5am in the morning on the first day all excited. My dad dropped me off at Catherine's house at 6am. I was playing with Benny (her dog) while she was getting ready. When Tesia came at around 6:30, we were off to Riverside! It was so nice catching up with them. When we arrived, we found Victor & Diana and parked right next to them. We walked over to the line and waited until they opened the sign-ins. We got our room keys & I went up to mine. (B341) I had a triple dorm so I had three roommates (pretty self-explanatory.) My roommates were Megan & Alison! They were so chill. We played a lot of ice breakers and went through a lot of workshops on the first day. Playing human knot is so fun! Lunch and dinner was okay, nothing special. (I included a picture of the lunch on the top right hand corner!) The fire alarm rang during dinner, right when I was reaching for my food. Not cool bro. We basically had a buffet at the HUB! I don't know but I might join a business frat, but I'm definitely going to check out Circle K! At night instead of going to the dance & gaming room, we chilled inside Catherine's dorm. I was going to oovoo with the best but he had to get off.. okay. We just chatted until we all went to go shower. After I showered, Tesia texted me to come over to her hall since she was bored. I went over & we talked with Elliot, Pejae, Augustine, Andy, & some other guy (I forgot his name) until 2am. It was fun! On the second day, I woke up at around 6am for breakfast. We headed down to AI & ate there. After, we discussed what classes were appropriate to take for our majors, then we had lunch. It was finally time to take our ID photos & choose our classes! I got stuck with weird classes then I changed it on my phone through growl. Babe insisted that he picked me up so we headed over to Boiling Point in Hacienda Heights for some hotpot! & we also went to Meow Meow cause I really wanted boba. (:

So I visited Westwood today and got some 800 degrees pizzeria since I was craving. Felix wanted to visit his dorm but was too lazy to walk there so we left. We drove down Wilshire Blvd until we hit Beverly Hills & encountered many classy cars ;) We saw two R8s (both v8), a bunch of Aston Martins, some Bugattis, Lambos, Ferraris, a Fisker, & more! I love cars. Then we drove up the mountain (or at least up to the lower end) in search of nice houses & cars but the cars weren't too nice there. Just a lot of beemers (which is quite typical in Arcadia or the SGV in general.) After taking Sunset Blvd, we went back to UCLA again & paid for 2 hours worth of parking. I bought a cool black eraser from the UCLA shop & a pastel pink sharpie! I can't ever get enough of sharpies. I want to own them all. We saw some UCLA freshies since they were having orientation at that time! But there was nobody that I knew ): Finally, he acquired enough energy to walk up the hill to the dorms at Sunset Village. The Covel Commons were so nice! It's like Pentland at UCR but better. Anyways after that we drove down Wilshire once again and went to the Beverly Hills Center. I love the escalators there haha & I haven't been there in so long. I bought some things at Forever 21 & there was this really weird man trying to harass some woman. I got creeped out since he said something about sex and orgies.. okay. After that, babe was craving Korean BBQ so we went to Don Day. It was quite expensive for dinner.. but meh. We just headed home after :c

I've been beachin' it up at least once every week! Don't get me wrong but I love the beach. When I grow up, I want to buy a beach house. Anyways, babe picked me up at 9:30am & we went to Home Depot for some firewood. I asked a worker if they had any in stock and they said no. So right as we were about to leave (after buying little woodchips - only thing they had in stock), the same worker came running after us. He told us that he found some on the top! So they had to get it down (which took like ten minutes maybe) & gave us two bundles. He was such a peoples person with a cool Spanish accent. We finally went over to Danh's house & pretty soon we left to BPHS (where everyone's supposed to meet up.) It was kind of awkward for me since I didn't know many people but hey I got through it & met some new people! It was originally a badminton outing for alumni & current high schoolers, but Danny invited me so I went. All the pits were taken when we came so that was a bummer. Regardless, we still had a grill & had a successful "grillfire." We also rented a car bike :) hehe it was quite expensive. $35 for an hour but we split it four way so it was cheaper(ish)! I came back so exhausted. & my arm was sore since we played football. We came back earlier than I thought, 9!

Happy Independence Day! I'm still pretty tired from the grunion run yesterday, but hey today's the 4th of July! There are so many shows going on today. There's one at Downtown Disney, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Queen Mary, Rose Bowl, etc. Felix and I decided to go to Griffith Observatory so we're able to see all the shows. Haha although we were extremely far from the fireworks show locations, we were still able to watch a few. There were so many fireworks popping up from every part of our sight; it was hard to focus on one single spot! We were so lucky to have gone there early for a good spot. I'm short so that benefited me a lot! We parked so far away but it was worth the walk. I love citylights so much. It's so pretty! Afterwards babe and I got Half&Half before heading home. Good day, good day.

In the morning I went to go visit Feraco with Kevin! He wrote a longer yearbook message than my other teachers. For lunch we went to Paris Baguette & I got a california roll sandwich. It was very interesting. & I really liked their mango lemonade. I waited for it to be nighttime.. Ahh, I went grunion running today! It was so exciting because it was my first time. I got picked up at around 9pm and we drove over to David's house to pick him up. After that, we went over to the drive-thru Starbucks near babe's house to get my favorite frap (although the weather was already cold enough at that time.) I convinced David to get it too & he liked it! Hehehe. We met up at Danh's house! We all got there before Danh came since he had class, except for Wilter. Once everyone arrived, we were set to go! We stopped by Jack in the Box for a food run. I don't really like the food there.. okay so we went to Seal Beach! The sand is unbelievably soft there. I would lie there all day if I was able to :) there were actually a lot more people than I expected on the shore looking for grunions or sand crabs too! I saw a few little kids and wondered why their parents brought them along since it was already 11pm. Shortly, we decided to switch locations (since we didn't find any grunions) to Huntington Beach! On the way to that beach via PCH, we sang along to One Direction! & at that time it turned 12am so it was already July 4th! No fireworks though, boohoo. We were unsuccessful at Huntington Beach too, and we got kicked off since the beach closed at 10pm. Staying out so late gets you really hungry ): While I was yelping restaurants on my phone, they were bringing up ideas for restaurants.. but everything was either closed or closes at 1am & it was already past midnight. Finally, we chose JJ Cafe since Wilter called them & they said they were open until 4am (dang that's pretty late.) I got some kids meal & watermelon juice :D I got home at around 3am. So weird how there were actually a lot of cars on the freeway. It was such a chill night! <3

I visited UCLA with babe today! His future school, hehe. I got so tired walking around since the campus is so big. But apparently it's the smallest UC (according to him.) We stopped at the UCLA store in the campus because he wanted to buy some apparel. I saw some cute hello kitty dolls that I wanted to buy, but I ended up not even buying them! ):  We ate Noodle World before going there so we didn't have room for some 800 degrees pizzeria (if you haven't tried that place yet, you should. That place is the bomb.) I was quite satisfied with my Pad Thai. There were actually a lot of students taking summer school there! I didn't know who was taking summer school so I didn't hit anyone up. I want to try their amazing dorm food, but there was no room in my tummy for it. However, I had room for some Starbucks (yay Passionfruit Lemonade!) & Diddy Riese. My feet got tired so we headed over to Santa Monica Beach (for some more walking, yeah what is logic?) We got some Chipotle for dinner & yeah! We always end up at Santa Monica somehow, but it's ok cause I love the beach.

After I went to go eat lunch with my family, Orenda texted me & asked me if I wanted to go to Relay For Life like the old times. I couldn't resist saying no (and plus I didn't have anything to do afterwards) so I said yes! I got dropped off at her house. We went over to Santa Anita Mall first to drop off her leftovers from lunch for her sister & then her madre dropped us off at the racetrack (where Arcadia's Relay for Life is always held at!) There was less people this year for some reason. I miss the old times where the racetrack would be super crowded. Babe & I left to go get some Starbucks & Chipotle for lunch (since he didn't eat.) We came back for some more food but it was free so hey, no shame ;) They served spaghetti with meatballs & salad (it's pretty much the same thing every year.) At night, Felix, Orenda, David, Eric, Justine, Michael & I headed over to Tea Station! I got this milk slush with boba, pudding, & brown sugar since they had a special on it! It was pretty sweet & yummy, but Tea Station is super expensive. We played some Monopoly Deal there too. I wish I could've slept over like last year (mm, good memories), but I couldn't since I was still recovering from being sick ):<
