DUDE!!!

It was fortunate that we (Brianne and I) had a GPS unit with us or we probably wouldn’t be home today. LA traffic is indeed hectic, but now I am very use to it. I even started to behave the same way as them. There is this belief that the best place to learn how to drive is in LA. I don’t know if you’ve heard that before.

If you didn’t already know, Brianne’s mom and her church youth group made a trip to Irvine from Arizona. I believe it was to visit the school (HIU), Six flags, and the beach. Since she was down south and three hours away, it was practical for us to visit her. The weekend there wasn’t boring nor was it fun. To sum up the weekend, it was ‘decent‘.

Then on Sunday, the day of our departure, Brianne and I decided to make a trip to Chinatown. I’ve been there before and it is kinda fun. If you haven’t been there, you’re not missing out. Unless you like cheap wall scrolls, Anime, illegal fireworks, Dim sum, Boba Tea, imported pets (that are illegal), boot legged movies, Bonsai trees, knock off hand bags, swords, nun-chucks, random Asian nic-nacs, or SARS then you are missing out. We also found Mary’s hair salon there.

Also near the area of Chinatown, you will also find Little Tokyo. This place is indeed little, but it is the biggest ‘Japan town’ I’ve been to. There we found Melon Pan that Brianne had been searching for since her first viewing of Shakugan no Shana. Melon bread is delicious despite the generic way it looks. I do agree with Brianne, it does taste like animal crackers.

There was a Boba tea shop in Little Tokyo that was really good. Even though they had a ‘B’ rating from their last health inspection, I still went in. They had a large variety of Boba drinks.

Overall, the trip to Chinatown and Little Tokyo made up for the bland weekend. I wish that we had more people with us. It would of made it more fun.

I’ve stopped for gas right after coming down the Grapevine. Now I’m taking a quick break to post something for the day. =) Btw…Henry is doing fine.

If today is going to be like every other weekend at six flags, I should be expecting no rides at all due to the fact that I don’t like waiting in lines. The only line I will be waiting in is to get a turkey leg…yum. Other than that, I think this will be the only thing we are going to do today.

We’ll my bruise from yesterday is starting to look better. Huntington beaches are not flat like I’m use to. They are probably for the more (way more) advanced skim boarders. Yeah, I fell really hard yesterday. What made it worse was that, the wave brought my board back which hit me.

I think I’ll have Denny’s today.

[Update]

While we were at Six flags, we had a concerned parent call the chaperon we were with to see if everyone was okay. Supposedly someone got decapitated for entering an off limits area. -_-

I woke up at 3am this morning to get ready and leave by 4am in hopes to be the LA traffic (which we did). A lot of congestion but we made it here in less than three hours. Henry did fine, but her suspensions are making squeaking noises. =( We ended up meeting with everyone here at the La Quinta hotel. Brianne’s mom got me my hotel room which I do feel really bad for (having no money sucks plus major embarrassment).

The room that Brianne’s mom initially got me were near 125$ (or more) a night…way more than the hotels at fanime. So I offered to stay in the rooms that were adjacent to the train. Yes, there is a train that passes by the hotel almost every 30 minutes (OMFG). This makes me wonder how the location of the hotel is perfect -_-.

Also before heading to the beach today, we took a tour with a group of kids (teenagers =\) to a University. It was kinda interesting.

Anyways…dude I’m typing this in the hotel room and I’m kind of getting scared. I think there might be another reason why these rooms are cheaper.

O yeah, anyone going to go see the Wall-E movie?!?! I wanna go.

Remember my post about the mosquitoes? Well, not only that but lately we’ve had a very bad infestation of black ants. They are everywhere, and its like near impossible to get rid of them. We have tried ant baits, hot water, chalk (drawn perimeter), Vaseline, and now resorted to Windex (dude Windex kills ants omg). I wish there was another method to solve the problem that was clean and actually prevented them from coming back. I have been thinking about just making a shrine away from the house so that they stay outside. Kind of like…a food shrine (yes, I am desperate).

I hope you guys aren’t having the same problem as us. Now I head to the morning flee market to see what I can find.

OMFG….I got a big “FAIL” on my emissions test. T_T Now I gotta go get it fixed…omfg, omfg

Unlike many of you, I own a car that has over one hundred ninety thousand miles (190k) on it. A lot of things have gone wrong with my car meaning parts had to be replaced. Every time I drive Henry (95′ Honda Accord), I always fear that something might break down. I even made up emergency scenarios when giving people rides (talk about paranoia). Cars are more of a liability than an asset, this is something that I learned while owning Henry. Although, Henry has taken me to many job interviews, urgent trips, and to work. So I guess I should be glad to have her (yes, Henry is a girl).

Well, today I planned to visit my brother in law’s auto shop to get a list of things I need for the car. I need to tune up the car because I will be putting 466 miles on it this weekend. I’m headed to Irvine with Brianne to go see her mum. Every one pray that my car does not break down….=\

No, there isn’t a deadly virus circulating in our room. Its just that I’ve been freaking out because I have accumulated over a dozen bug bites (probably from mosquitoes) these past nights. Then reading this article a couple of days ago, I started to freak out more. Well I guess having bug bites makes the present a bit more interesting.

I’ve realized that Sliders has started to become more interesting. Seeing shows that I cannot recall makes it more exciting. I know that I have mentioned this before, but I highly recommend watching this show. Even if you aren’t into Sci-Fi it should still hold your attention. Find it on torrents or something.

And while playing with Virtual Dj I realised that I had random music on my computer. Like Carrie Underwood (wtf?, yeah i know right?) and Coldplay. I honestly don’t remember how these songs got on my computer. Anyways, about Virtual DJ, I found it interesting how I am really bad at mixing songs =(.

This sooo beats the Mosquitoe bites on my legs.
