Americana

       Last week I finally caught up with one of my friends, Susan, who's heading off to college this following school year. I only know her since last school year, but it feels like an eternity I have known her. She is more than just a friend to me. She's like a big sister to me. It won't be the same without her in my last class of the day, always being that one person that can cheer me up and understand my stories and problems. She's amazing, and I know she will go far in life. 

      It was so so nice to hang out with her at Americana. We did a little shopping and stayed mainly at the Barnes and Noble. For lunch, we headed off to the Nordstrom cafe. It was so good! I got the Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich and boy was it a huge meal. There's A LOT of fries!! It was delicious. I haven't had fries in so long. Before we left Americana, we headed to Sprinkles to buy cupcakes. I got a coconut and a milk chocolate. They are dense, but good. It's heavy a little, so it's best to eat it with milk or ice cream. After that, Susan and I watched an anime movie, Garden of the Words, back at my house. It was really good. My first anime movie I ever watched. That day was one of the best days that week. Can't wait to make more memories with her in the future. 

Special Olympics 2015

       Thursday calls for volunteering! I helped out for the Special Olympics. We were welcoming the German delegates to Monterey Park. It was fun! They were very nice and a few knew how to say my name right! I felt so honored!! They were so so nice!!

       I was working at the volunteer and media sign-in area. Later on I got to be a yogurt girl and fan girl and pass yogurt and fans out to the German delegates. It got so hot though, but at least I put my hair up. I got to be with my friends as well, which was a bonus. It was nice to help out today and meet different people from another country. I got darker though! But it's worth it. I got to hang out with my friends that I haven't since school ended too. It was nice to help out for the event considering MPK is the host town this year. It's nice to be a part of it. 

So pretty! Simple and beautiful. 

My lovely friend Lisa took this one with my phone. At first I didn't want to leave my post to take pictures even though it would only be like two, three feet away. Haha. So I asked her. (: She's amazing. 

Another Adventure

       It's Wednesday! My father took the day off and brought me to Griffith Observatory. We didn't know there would be a hiking trail there so we surprised to find it there when we waited for the place to be open at 10 A.M. I was not wearing proper shoes for hiking, but we still hiked a bit. We didn't hike too much because it be dangerous for us. One misplace foot and... well you know... Let's not mention it. Anyways, so after hiking we headed to the observatory.

       I was one obsessed little girl for the solar system. Despite how these years I haven't touched much upon the subject as much, I still will always love the solar system. I learned much about the Sun today and loved how each planet had a little description with a weighing of yourself on each planet. So much fun! I weighed almost nothing on Pluto! Even though it's not a planet anymore, I will always consider it. It just doesn't seem right. I lived through the time when it was considered one. And the saying on how to memorize he planets wouldn't be the and without the "P" in Pluto. So lots of exploring and fun today! Lots of walking too! 

OC Fair

       Yesterday my dad and I went to the OC Fair. It was so much fun! We went early, at 10 AM. It's cheaper, only $3 admission each. We went around the Blue side first and then we kept walking and looking around the little shops and places. We went to the collection buildings, garden, and the Centennial Farm as well. Then we stumbled upon the Ice Museum. It was so cold in there! Inside the museum was zero degrees! It was worth it though. We got really toasty for just only like 1.5 hours. It was hotter in the morning than in the afternoon. The sun was hiding behind the clouds in the afternoon. Then we went to the main places we wanted to go to, the collections, galleries, and the artwork exhibits indoors. I could have stayed in the artwork exhibits forever. Haha. There were so much to see! I love art. A life without art is nothing. Here are some of the many pictures I took yesterday. Enjoy! Have a good week folks!

Ahh! Here we go! 

Omg. So pretty! 

Next stop: Ice Museum

Then off we go to the OC Promenade.

Yesterday was National Ice Cream Day! Hope everyone got their fair share of ice cream!

From the Book of Life 

Some wood creations. They are just so detailed and so so nice.

Next stop: artwork exhibits

It was called Three Injured Pears.

Jam anyone?

Another Baby Step

       Today was yet another great day. First my dad and I went to watch Jurassic World in the morning. When we got home, we made some sandwiches with some food we had in the refrigerator. After sleeping for some time ( I had a headache from the movies after), I made dinner. I steamed three chicken drumsticks that my mom made, and made some soup. Put a can of chicken broth, a can of corn, and a can of water into the pot and there you go! With an egg inside to top it off to finish the job. It was a good turn out. I'm improving! Making little mile stones this summer and many more to go.
