11/14/11 - I started my new Kabbalah class on this day. Yay! Spent the day at home doing the usual things. Job searching, tv, some time spent with my cousin, brother and his wife. That's all. The lights around the Beverly Center were all off... so they had people directing traffic. Haha... uh... that's all I really remember.
11/15/11 - We went to Sea World! Yay. My cousin decided not to go with us because he had to study for a test on Thursday. So it was just my brother, his wife Jasmine and me. We left at about 8:30 am. My brother was planning to go down the 101 S to get to the 5 S. But I suggested he go down the 134 E and then hit the 5 S that way. It turned out to be the faster road. Glad I said something otherwise we would have been stuck in L.A. forever. It would have taken us longer to reach our destination because it's about a two hour drive to San Diego. Along the way down to San Diego, David calls me asking me about his jacket. He said he could not find it and the last place I could remember him having it was when he went to Chicago back in October. In the end he did figure out where it was. He had left it at the board games place in Sun Valley. We reached Sea World at around 11:30pm. The park closed at 5pm, so we still had plenty of time. We went into the park and my brother and Jasmine went and got something to eat. They got coffee and a muffin from some cafe. After that, we went to where the sea lions were and Jasmine feed them. The sea lions were so loud! They keep screaming, give me food! They all wanted food and also the birds that hang around trying to take their food. After that we went to watch a show with sea lions and stuff. It was pretty cool, with many funnies, dancing animals and people. We also watched the Shamu show later on in the day. We went exploring through the shark place and went to look at dolphins and other fishies. We went on the water raft ride. There was no line so we just went on. It was still nice and sunny so if we did end up getting wet, we could dry off with the sun. I had two sweaters on, so I took my inner sweater off and just kept the second one on while I hid the 1st sweater under my 2nd sweater. I also hid my purse under my sweater so it would not get wet while on the ride. I put my hoodie on just so I won't feel the water go down my neck. My trick worked and none of my stuff under my sweater got wet, just the outer sweater got wet. When we got off the ride I replaced my wet sweater with my dry one and once again I was nice and warm from the top. It was starting to get a little chili, but I just hoped my sweater would dry off eventually. We went on the sky tower where we ended up getting a picture of all three of us. We also went on the bayside skyride. Both were pretty cool with amazing views. Towards the end of the day we ended up getting lunch. It was about 3:45 when we did. I got a veggie burger, fries and a chocolate pudding. There were so many seagulls around us, at a table near us, they almost took a kids food of his plate. The last thing we did at Sea World was ride Journey to Atlantis. We got a little wet, but not too much. After that we left and got all cozy inside my car. I also got David one of those penny pressed coins with a turtle design on it. We needed to get to weho to go watch Dave's show at 9:30pm. I feel asleep on the ride back. I think it was about 45 minutes. David called me to see how far we were at 7pm but from what I saw on the side info boards on the freeway, we were 30 mins away. But that proved to be wrong because we ended up getting to downtown 10 minutes later. We reached weho by 8:30pm. He had made in time to see Dave's show. So finally my brother Albert and his wife Jasmine got to meet Dave. =) Now my whole family knows my boyfriend. Yay! Now I have to meet his family... when will that be? It was quite an eventful night. There was a comedy show before the one Dave was performing in, but when it finished most of the people left. It looked to me it was just the comedians and my family. Jasmine drank a bit so she was laughing at a lot of things. She made it very fun and people liked it. We got home really late. I stayed up about an extra hour later. But then I went to sleep... it has been a long day.
11/16/11 - Wednesday was just relax day. We were all still tired from the day before.
11/17/11 - On this day I went mini golfing with my brother and Jasmine at Castle Park in Sherman Oaks area. This was my second time ever to go mini golfing. I came in last in both round that we all played. I didn't care much, I thought it was just fun! We went and got lunch at wienerschnitzel and I got a pastrami sandwich. After the game we went home and relaxed. Later on the day I had to go to a CTN animation expo volunteer meeting for the weekend event. Marcelo came to pick me up and we left. We went to Aaron Brothers to look at art stuff and then to Michael's in the Burbank area. We hung around there for a bit. Once it was 5:30 we decided to head over to the hotel and just wait around. When we got to the Marriott, Marcelo was trying to park and he hit the car behind us. At first I thought it was the curb, but nope it was the car and to make it worse there was a cop on a motorcycle right at that exact moment so he saw. He inspected the car and saw damage, but it was too low to be something Marcelo had done with his car. He still had to leave his contact info for the other car owner to see. (Marcelo never heard back from that person, so I guess they already had that damage on their car.) After all the info was done, the cop helped and stopped traffic so we could get another parking spot. We parked around the corner and then went inside the Marriott. Inside at the meeting they just told us about the things we were doing, and who we are to report to during our shifts. Aside from that it was all boring stuff and once it was 8pm, Marcelo and I left. He dropped me off and that was it for the night.
11/18/11 - CTN animation expo day. I wanted to go in early so I could explore around before I started my shift volunteering. I walked around the exhibit hall before anyone else could. I looked at all the cool art and demos. I even talked to one of the 5 artist that worked on the 3D stuff on Beauty and the Beast. That just made my day. I went and got lunch and also saw a screening of student work from several schools. After that I went and started my shift. I just stood outside a door and made sure no one walks in that way. No one who's not an exhibitor that is. People could exit mostly. It was pretty tiresome. But I got through the night and went home. I was totally exited to be going to Knott's Berry Farm on Saturday with my family and boyfriend. Dave came to pick me up after board games. It turned out to be almost midnight... which I thought was annoying at heck. We would just go to his place and sleep and not do anything else. Blah.
11/19/11 - Knott's Berry Farm day! Yay! David and I left at about 9:15am. We actually got there really early. Even before my brother, cousin and wife. David needed food so we went and got some food from a sandwich place. I got a egg and cheese panini. It was so good. The best egg I have ever tasted from a food place. After we got our food we went to Knott's and met up with my family. The first ride we went on was Windseeker. That was my second time on that ride. The first one was during Knott's Halloween Haunt. After that we went on Jaguar since it was right next door. The next was La Revolution. My brother doesn't like rides that spin. Well this one did spin a lot, but heck, it was so much fun. David really loved this ride =) I would say it's one of my favorites at Knott's. After that we got on the Dragon Swing, the one where you sit in a boat and it goes side to side. Then came Waveswinger. My brother refused to get on this one. We wanted to watch a show, that started at about 12:30pm. But before we the show we got on Xcelerator. I was a bit worried for David because I don't know how much his heart could handle. Besides Disneyland and California Adventure Park, I have never been to a theme park with him with rides that were a bit extreme. But he was fine. So it was all good. After the ride we went to watch the show at the Calico Saloon in the Ghost Town area. It started late, but it was nice to relax for a bit. After the show... hmm... I'm not quite sure what we went to do. Haha. We had lunch at one point and went to Johnny Rockets where I got really upset over my favorite dish. David and I ordered chili cheese fries the usual. But when we got our order I was in total shock. Instead of using shredded cheese they had used nacho cheese. I was so disappointed that I wanted to cry. I asked the waiter why they had done that and he said something about they did not have the equipment for it anymore and that the cheese doesn't melt nicely over the chili. What? That's dumb. The cheese melts when it's on something warm... you just let it melt on it own, you don't need melted cheese dip on it. The cheese tasted so nasty... I only ate the fries with the chili on them. David said to write them about this problem to them. I was in agreement. The rides we go on are as follows, not sure in the order: Calico Mine Ride, Rip Tide, The Pony Express, Silver Bullet, Sierra Sidewinder and Ghost Rider. All the rides were fun and I really like the Sidewinder because it spins as you go through the track. FUN! We also saw two other shows, the stunt show and the mystery lodge. Both were fun and cool. At the end of the night it started to sprinkle a little bit. My family didn't believe me at fisrt and said some probably had spit on me. But then they believe because they felt the sprinkles for themselves. Before we left the park we went into stores looking for things to buy. I bought a woodstock pin / plush and a snoopy gel cling. David and I decided to get food at TGI Friday's. So we said bye to my family and went off to eat. We ate, then Dave took me home.
11/19/11 - Last day for the CTN animation expo. I volunteered in the morning for 4 hours then I was done. It was also raining. I had David pick me up. I wanted to to the mall to get my boots I had special ordered, but because it was raining the mall was packed. So we just left and went to David's place. I think we played Baulder's Gate for a bit... but I feel asleep at one point. Haha. We went to some Seafood Place to eat that night and after that Dave dropped me home. When I got home The Walking Dead was already 30 minutes into it. I kept watching until the end. I always forget that they show a repeat at 11pm but I didn't tell David that because he said he wanted to go shower. So I just let him shower and he can watch it another day, most likely next Sunday.
That's all I can remember... more on the next blog!
