Summer 2010

Another school year finally ended and now summerrr. Once again I gotta say I'm getting old but no time for that cause there's been a lot of happenings happening so here goes!

Yaaaay! my sister and my brother graduated so I attended to two graduations, one being in san diego. My sister's graduation was pretty casual where people made loud noises and sang songs when they heard their graduate's name called. On the other hand, my brother's was formal and in order. I haven't gone to a catholic mass since high school so that kinda brought back memories. I went camping a lot since summer started with my pledge class, family, and church all at different places. I also went river rafting for the first time. It was fun although I expected more rapids.. But I can say that I'm pretty dark now. I could easily pass as filipino.. maybe ethiopian as well. I also went to disneyland/LA! If you guys know what the "give a day get a day" is, I did that and used my free disneyland ticket. I had the full fireworks experience for the first time! I had no idea it corresponded to an audio track which made it sooo much better. My friend described it as "magical" and I thought that was pretty corny but when I saw the fireworks I was trying so hard to hold in my tears. Also went to roscoes's chicken n waffles! and yes it was good, but I had to let go of my tears that time. Andd I just came back from new orleans attending the national youth gathering. it's for lutherans all over the country and it's like a convention with different speakers and performances. I thought that the previous gathering I went to 3 years ago was better but new orleans is a unique city. I tried pretty much all the food the city had to offer and it didn't fail to please me! I had their po-boys, gumbo, fried seafood, and beignets! nom nom nom I miss the food there already. If you don't know what those are, google image it! Words cannot describe the taste of pure joy.. but the pictures of the foods can help. (pictures on my facebook :D) The french quarter contained a lot of shops and historic buildings and I'm pretty sure that's where all the craziness happens during mardi gras. But yeahh it was quite an interesting city and I'm glad I got the chance to go. Although I doubt I would ever go there again since it was way too hot for me.. and vice versa Heeeyo. I missed my cold weather and clean air. going on vacation makes me appreciate home more. now an unplanned and disorganized summer left, the best part of summer.
