East Coastin' - Day 1

FAMILY REUNION TIME. Minus a lot of people, haha.

So we left SJC to LAX, and then LAX to Washington Duelles airport. On the plane, I got some pretty cool sunrise shots out the window. I arrived at 7am and lost 3 hours of sleep. Basically had a 2 hour night because we were sleepless. When we got to my uncle's place, in the Richmond, VA area, I crashed for a good 5 hours. We got up, ate, and left for Washington DC. We all went to a couple of museums until we were tired. (Washington Museum of Air & Space) After, we took a short roadtrip to Baltimore, MD harbor. We had dinner there and and I got some nice sunset shots along the harbor.

East Coast Goals:

[] Five Guys Burgers&Fries
[] Dunkin' Donuts
[] National Monuments
[]Georgetown Uni.
[] White Castle
[] Transformers 2

Last Day before East Coast

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who chilled with me today before I left. Some people, I won't see until August! Anyway, today really made the week feel great.

I made plans to chill with Matt and Eric in the morning but that failed. We both ended up waking up late, but they came anyway. We talked for about an hour until I had a dentist appointment and we had to split. Went to the dentist and found out that I had to reschedule! So called up Matt and Eric and we headed to Blush to hang out with Chanda.

Soon later, Christian Mara, Russ, and Miggy showed up so we all just hung out. Stayed at Blush for like 2-3 hours! Wow... We went back to my place and played ball for an hour and then headed to Angela's for swimming. Matt had to leave for practice so I said goodbye to him. I may not see him until I get back from Vietnam in August. We swam for about 30 mins and then went to Jomar's to chill. Jomar, Ariana, Marti, Angela, and Justin left to see the Hangover and the rest of us went to Wingstop to eat with Chanda and Troy.

I stayed out until about 530pm until my mom got mad at me and told me to come home since we were leaving for the airport soon. Had a great day and thanks to everyone.

Summer Days N Nights

So the past few days, I've been trying to go out as much as possible so that I use up all my summer time before I go on my trips. 1 week in the East Coast, Virginia for a Family Reunion and then 1 month in Vietnam for service. I can say that I'm both excited and bummed about the trip. I really want to go see my family in VA and help in VN, but at the same time, when I come back, I basically don't have much time until school starts again. So I've just been cramming everything possible (even if my mom gets mad, sorry).

Summer days just sitting around, but when the sun comes down...I'll be ready to party.

Today, I went to a BBQ/Party for my godsister's, Antoinette's birthday. It was pretty cool. Spent a lot of time entertaining people by jamming. I spent a few hours there and then headed home for Stacey's Graduation Party. I got home and took a quick nap, then Chanda called me up and asked to chill. Jomar and Miggy came over before Stacey's and we all went to Angela's to hangout for a bit. Ariana came and we all just decided to go to Stacey's together. Chanda hooked up some Blush for the party. We stayed for a few hours and even had a photo shoot during magic hour. After we left, we came back to my place and just hung out. As people began to leave, Miggy, Jomar, Chanda, Mimi and I decided to take one last trip to Blush before it closes. We chilled there for a bit and then we all went home and I dropped Chanda off.

Another COMPLETE day of summer. We kinda just went with the flow of things. It was an overall good day.

Bell/Blush/Jesse's Surprise

Woke up today and made plans with Chanda to go visit Bellarmine summer school. We got there and hung out for a bit and I got to see some old faces. Then we headed to a plaza down the street to have lunch.

Later on in the day, Troy, Chanda and I decided to check out the opening of Blush in Milpitas. We got some free yogurt. It is a really nice place and I see myself going there in the future. Troy and I picked up some pizza for Jesse's party that night.

I dropped Troy and Chanda off, picked up Lynn and Mimi, and headed towards Mountain View for Jesse's surprise birthday party. Lots of BBQ-ing, Volleyball-ing, Mario Kart-ing, and Jamming. It was a really fun, long day. And a lot of driving.

One of the more COMPLETE days this summer. :D

Hiking/Hangover/Grandpa!

Woke up early at 930 today and went hiking with Mimi and Nette at Mission Peak. We were practicing and getting in shape for our Vietnam trip, hah. Anyway, we made it 2/3 of the way up and the girls decided to call it quits. Boo!

Later that day, I went to Cat's place and picked up Cat, Chanda, and Shawna. We left for Eastridge to see a movie and meet up with other people. I ended up seeing The Hangover with a few other people. It was pretty funny. Hahah, I left early and came home to my grandpa! He came back from Vietnam and is staying with us until we all leave back to Vietnam!
