Ready for Christmas?

On the way home from dinner with my boyfriend we decided to take the streets to see all the Christmas light decorations.  Didn’t see anything interesting until I see something extremely bright coming from a neighborhood and asked my boyfriend to make a turn into it and like wow just wow! I’ve never seen a house so decorated out like this before! I have no idea how long they've been doing this but this is the first time I’ve seen this house and it is just amazing! Everything is in detail the picture doesn’t show much because I wanted to get the whole house in frame but he really went all out. There is also Christmas music in the background.  We got there just in time they turned everything off 10 minutes after we got there since it was already super late.

R.I.P

Yesterday was like any other day waking up wasn’t feeling too bad got ready to go to the dentist with my brother. After I finish I was waiting in the lobby for my brother checking up on the news and this was the first thing I saw my jaw dropped I couldn’t believe it how could something like this happen!  My heart goes out to those family and friends affected by what has happen in Newtown, Connecticut at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Those precious babies with their lives ahead of them cut short by a man having problems with his own life even going as far as taking the life of his own mother. To those amazing teachers and staff trying to make a difference in these young children lives also cut short.  I don’t know what it is like to lose a child but it breaks my heart to here this story.  Every time I watch the news or read something about it makes my heart heavy. I also would like to thank those who were quick thinking during such a scary moment saving lives and protecting anyone they could.  You are truly amazing.

Just a couple of days ago there was a shooting at an Oregon mall and now on the same day as this horrible event another shooting in Las Vegas at Excalibur.  My heart and condolence goes out to everyone affected by everything that has happen here in the United States and around the world where it‘s not reported on the media.  Losing someone is hard I’ve lost a best friend that was like a sister in a freak nature accident that was unpreventable because it was nature.  But things like this didn’t have to happen if only things could have been different but it isn’t. May the beautiful children’s, teachers, staff members,  the people in the mall, the people in Las Vegas, and all around the world who lost their lives to something so horrible Rest In Peace.

Ending up in Los Angeles

Last week my boyfriend and I went on a date.  We went to the OC Fair grounds to check out the famers market since I have never been to one.  After walking around the little area I saw an Italian ice stand! I’ve always wanted to try it!  It’s like a sorbet meets ice cream meets shaved ice? There is no dairy and the woman that helped us was very nice!  She said she’s there every Thursday at the farmers market. After our dessert we waited for the food trucks that also come every Thursday during lunch time.  I tried Dogzilla for the first time and fresh fries, it was interesting.

After that we were heading home because I had things I wanted to do in the area before we went to the movies but my boyfriend got on the wrong freeway.  Long story short we ended up going to Los Angeles and decided to go to the LA zoo because it was the cheapest thing we could think of plus I really wanted to go to the LA zoo anyways since I’ve never been there. hehe

Anyways there was a lot of construction going on so we didn’t get to see much but there was quite a bit of animals out.  Although most of the animals I wanted to see weren’t out. :( So while we were walking around we were dying of thirst totally forgot to bring our water bottle didn’t want to pay $3.50-5 for a regular water bottle.  Ticket price are $17 per person and free parking so yeah cheaper then San Diego Zoo and less tiring you’re not hiking up and down giant hills just remember to bring something to drink!

After the zoo we went to Griffith observatory again our first time.  We got there after the sun went down because traffic was so bad even on the streets it was horrible. When we got to the street heading up to the observatory it wasn’t that bad driving up there like I thought it would be.  The view was nice even though it was a little foggy.  Everything is free unless you want to watch the show in the Planetarium.  So on our way home we had to deal with traffic it took 2 hours to get home when it only took half an hour to get there. But it was ok we usually try to entertain each other when we’re stuck in heavy traffic to pass the time.  No point in getting mad or irritated just need to make the best of it!

Happy Birthday Grandma!!

Yesterday was my grandma's birthday! I love her so much she is such an inspiration and a very strong woman! I can’t believe another year has gone by! Every time I look at her I think she’s still in her 60-70’s not anywhere close to her actual age. She’s gone through so much in her life and is still always positive about everything.  I want to write about her life and share her stories on here so that in the future I can look back at the post and remember every detail of what makes her the woman that she is today. That post will come soon.  But now I want to wish my lovely grandma a happy wonderful birthday again and for many more birthdays and years of healthy happy life to come! Love you grandma! (^_^) <3
