whew..im back!! and i think im back for good..haha..
just got back from the states and i missed my laptop and of course my blog..
i didnt get the chance to use a computer back in the land of milk and honeys :-( haayy..so now that im back, i'll abuse your my time and type the things that i did there all day..wahahaa..now you're trap onto reading this effing long blog!! wahahaha..goodluck na lang sayo..

hahaha..ok, first things first..it was march 31, around 7pm we were already inside the centennial airport getting ready to check in..(to think that our flight is around 10)..papa kasi eh..haha ;-) anyway, so we were there lining up..then my dad panicked..he said, "i didnt bring any peso"..eh, they have this terminal fee that'll cost us 250 each..oh my! we need 1250 PESOS..all my dad brought was dollars..fortunately, my sister brought some of her money and it covered the 1250 terminal fee..so there..same old thing..the thing that you do inside the airport..and finally i was sitting on one of the cushioned chairs of the plane..finally..we were on our way to,,oh yeah..the land of milk and honeys..(after a two-hour wait..hahaha)

april 1 came..and of course our plane already landed on US..yay!! we were inside the LA airport looking for Francis (our so-called tour guide and a family friend)..i was kind of shocked when i saw him coz he's only around 20's..he's kind of young..well, younger than what i expected..haha..so, ok back to whole travel thing..we were so tired of the flight (hello?!? 16 hours ka ba naman sa loob ng airplane) and we decided to stay inside the hotel that night..and it's already 10pm then so we just decided to sleep..

next day we were up for a lot of tours and sight-seeings..hmm..so..umm..where to go..my dad decided to go to staples center to get some tickets for the Lakers game next day..after getting some tickets Francis told us that there's this place in LA wherein snow falls everyday..wow! snow..so after a arguements, we finally decided to go there (even without the snow gears that we need)..imagine, us..and the snow..trying to fight each other..most of our snow pictures looks weird kasi naman ang lllaaammmiiggg..it was snowing talaga (as in snow flakes were falling) and the f*cking wind made things worse for us..haha..nice..so after a few shots and video shoot we decided to go down already before we die there..haha..on our way home, Francis' girlfriend suggested to drop by an outlet near the 'snowplace' (btw, the snowplace is called big bear city)..thus, because there were 4 girls inside the van, we headed off to the ontario outlet..wow! shopping shopping shopping..guess what happened next..haha

april 3, boring..i got sick because of the effing coldness of big bear..so my sister, mom and i just stayed inside our hotel room while my dad and my brother went to staples to catch the Lakers' game..nicee..

vegas..here we come..april 4..yes, it's the date to remember..we left LA at around 9am to get ready for the slot machines in vegas..it was really a quite long ride..around 5 hours (I think)..after getting so much attached to my cushioned seat inside the van we finally arrived in vegas..we checked in our hotel first then we’re off..we headed to the strip which is just a street away from our hotel..no lights yet..but as the night begins to embrace the city, one by one the little lights started to show..woohoo..this is the life! Shopping there..picture picture naman..site-seeing pa..haayy..love it! (oh yeah, I really looovvee the Bellagio dancing fountain..haayyy)

still in vegas, my dad decided to eat to look for a Filipino restaurant..hahaha..yeah..we badly miss Filipino food J (buti na lang meron) fine-dining restaurant with Filipino food: perfect! But the bill was overwhelming too..hahaha..so after a few more shopping stints (in las vegas outlet and fry’s) and a few more pictures I finally had time to meet my friend, Marianne..she’s my blockmate back here in Manila and coincidentally her family also went to US; thus, we decided to meet up..we met in front of the Bellagio to wait for the water show..picture picture..chit chats and we separated ways..we went to the Paris hotel and went up the Eiffel tower..the sight was sooo overwhelming..super..haayy..im in the sky..haha..

after eating in a Filipino restaurant my dad felt like he wants to eat several international food; thus, we headed to MGM for their grand buffet!! Yumyum..lotsa food and lotsa sweets..i love their desserts..we also decided to go inside the hotels to see their souvenir shops..after having a few or should I say a lot of souvenirs my dad met his colleague in Bellagio (gaya-gaya sila..haha)..we ate in Café bellagio..wow..yumyum..grabe..i was so full already..pero it’s ok..i love it this way..

aww..last day in vegas.. L I’ll miss this place..but I have to face it..i have to leave and move on..and so, we headed off to LA again..the ride was longer this time because we were caught in traffic..hayy..i never imagined that there was a traffic jam in US..haha..oh well..so we spent our April 7 inside the van and inside our hotel room..

April 8, I like this date..(wala lang)..we were soo tired from the travel the other day and decided to just stay inside the hotel or just walk around..in the afternoon we went around the street to look for a laundrymat..luck was on our side because the laundrymat was beside our hotel and guess what?..Manny Pacquiao’s training gym wildcard was also beside our hotel..the hotel receptionists also told us that Manny stayed in the same hotel where we were checked in..coolness..

Disney day!! Oh yeah..yes..we went to Disneyland this day..the weather was on our side because it didn’t rain all day but looks like most people thought of going to Disney that day..the lines were so looonnnggg!!! As in!!! hay..but I still enjoyed the experience just like when I was young..(that was like a few years back)

After walking all day in Disneyland, again, we rested.. we like resting J haha..this vacation was suppose to relax us, ok? So don’t blame us for resting and sleeping all day..oh yeah, we also did the laundry..coolness!!

After Disney what’s the best thing to do?? Go to Universal Studios!! Yey!! Though, the news in the early morning show says that rain will pour that day we still pushed through..haha!! Honestly, I enjoyed in Universal Studios more than Disney.. I don’t know why.. maybe it’s because of the long linesss that Disney’s rides have..(well who cares??) haha.. I love the new mummy ride!! And the Jurassic Park and 4d Shrek..yay!! I got scared in Van Helsing though

April 12, rest day again

Off to Hollywood.. The lights, the glamour..oh yeah I felt it! I love the Chinese theater and Ripley’s J we also shopped a few items yey!!

Last day in LA weird.. I was crying..haha.. I didn’t want to leave.. I got so attached to the city already..our room..the restaurants around our hotel..the free breakfast that the hotel serves..waahh…I’ll miss everything!! But just like what I said, everything has an end..

April 15 came..we’re headed to Chicago to look for my dad’s long lost brother..he hasn’t seen him for 36 years already..inside the plane I was thinking of whether we would find him or not..i was really wishing of finding him!! I wanna make my dad happy and I’m sure seeing my uncle would make my dad the happiest person in the world!

First day of our look-for-tito-eddie project we tried to look for his house..(actually we found it but it took sometime) we got lost in looking for it..stupid kasi eh..haha..the street that would lead to tito eddie’s house was just across from where we got off..hayy..so finally, we found his house..but no one’s inside..or so we think..my dad heard a lady talking to someone inside the house so we kept knocking until it rained..we were freezing outside his house..grabe..we were so frustrated already..and I think God sent us an angel in the name of Jessie..Jessie was tito Eddie’s bestfriend..he helped us..he told us that tito eddie’s wife was kind of weird so it’ll be best if we head off to his workplace..Jessie took us there but unfortunately, he was on-leave..the manager said that we would come back on Tuesday which is april 18 (our last day)..gosh..we really need to see him that day..so, failures as we are, we went home tired and kind of went because of the rain..

To release all of our frustrations we went to the 2nd largest mall in the United States..Woodfield..we shopped all our frustrations away and hoped for the best the next day..

April 18..This is our last chance to see Tito Eddie (we’ll be leaving the next day)..we went to his workplace at around 1 in the afternoon..after a few rounds around jewel osco, we saw a dark-colored guy who looks like a Filipino..when he faced us..we were shocked.. He embraced my dad and they both got teary-eyed.. (actually my dad cried and it crushed my heart).. But we all were happy then..FINALLY!! our journey has come to an end..a super sweet end.. hay yy..my dad and my uncle talked for quite a while and then we headed home with all the smiles in the world.. Thank God..

After 20 days of super happiness, we would have to leave already.. We need to get out of the States by 130pm or I’ll be dropping my classes back here in the Philippines.. Leaving was really hard because I would really love to stay but I have to go back and face reality..

hhayy..so there..20 days of fun and excitement..now im back to reality..and i have to study pa for my long test on tuesday..i really hope i get to go back to the states soon!! :-) yon lang..thanks for the patience..or sana natapos niyo talaga hehe.. :D
