these are not photoshopped.

teehee. not bad without an slr eh?
finally, some california pics.
more to come, once i've uploaded them from angela's mac.

one of the numerous missions in carmel by the sea. i'd like to get married in one someday, if it's allowed.






biking around cannery row. a must do. lots of biking trails and people are friendly towards bikers. yes...it was freezing cold that day.


horsebackriding in carmel. another must do. this conservation area used to be a cattle ranch, similar to the one in brokeback mountain.










solvang.

we got lucky and was able to get on the simpsons' ride. i look like such a tourist with the lanyard around my neck. but that is, folks, a front of the line pass...courtesy of my uncle, who works in universal studios' IT department. unfortunately we didn't get immunity this time because of its debut, but it was definitely worth lining up for.

had my phone interview today.
optimistic.
but i'm not going to count on it.
i don't want to feel too disappointed.
if i don't get it, there's something better out there.
i just kinda wanted to get out of here sooner.
my brain's turning into mush.
ah paris, you're only $15,000 away.
ahaha.
kill me now.

hola from cali!

hello hello from cali!
this'll be a quickie but goodness i am loving every minute of my cali stay. i'm in l.a. now hanging out at a cousin's house that i never knew i had and we're now all instantly friends.
i will be back with photos :) today we went to universal studios. tomorrow, santa monica, newport & laguna beach and saturday disneyland!
i'm eating loads of filipino food. good for the tastebuds but not for the tummy. i feel like i'm gaining so much weight. womp womp, as my sister says.
i'll stop now and get back to much needed family bonding.

cannot wait till...

* spice concert. teehee.
* anti-val celebration with les filles
*
reading week...i'll be thankful for one night without classic dramaturgie from the 17th century. even though i love berube. the course is still a pain in the bum. and the eyes.
* the annual pancake breakfast
* the grand cali adventure avec la famille!
* stratford weekend with A
* CONVOCATION. and being gone from glendon forever. foreverevereverevereverevereverever.
* culinary courses, finally!
* the morning when being done university forever hits me
* you. yes you.
* extra vacation days that i can do whatever i want with

i want filipino food. i am sooooo craving it right now. i want rice that's not too wet and moist. i like it dry. and then put some sauce/soup over it and eat it with something fried and unhealthy. and wash it down with a glass of cold diet coke. augh. i'm so hungry.
did winterlicious for the first time at alize's today. it was a long freezing wait outside. the food was okay. i wish i had gone somewhere else. the meal itself was $15: white bean soup with pancetta, angus steak with frites (fancy schmancy way of saying fries...i swear if i'm going to makes frites, i will at least make it look fancy. they looked like your normal mccain fries) and peach melba with ice cream (which was just two slices of peaches and ice cream. argh. i should have gone for the tiramisu instead). BUT. the pop was 2.95. their coffee was a whopping 2.95 as well. frick. i could have gotten a latte from starbucks with that. or a cookie. yum. lesson learned? never do winterlicious unless it's a bonacini restaurant or really, really, really expensive restaurant that you wouldn't even dream of trying. and have my coffee elsewhere.
