So a few days before we were scheduled to leave, Jonathan asks if I was down to go to LA with him and his cousins... luckily, my manager was cool and let me take off the days! So it was set, LA from Wed, Dec. 21 to Fri, Dec 23. Tuesday, Jonathan and I ran some errands, hung out at Jeremy's, then went to Jay's to sleep. Daysha woke us all up bright and early at 6am, and we were on our way... When we asked Bung what we were going to do, she said "I don't know. I think we're just gonna wing it."
So we, Jay, Bung, Daysha, Donald, Jen, Jonathan, and I, all pack our stuff into the Suburban and get situated in the car. We got comfy since we had a long drive ahead of us. Jay started asking us what time we thought we would get there, so we all made our guesses.. then he said that we each get to pick a stop, so our first stop was McDonalds for breakfast. So then we were on our way again... Jay said that he was gonna pick the next stop and we ended up at the San Jose Airport. Bung was getting irritated because he was wasting time. Turns out, he surprised us all when he said "Me? Drive? Hell no! We're flying!" We were all confused as hell, but we followed. We arrived at the Disneyland Hotel, and Jay hands us all our 2-day park hopper tickets to Disneyland and California Adventures! After we checked in, we went straight to Disneyland, rode all the good rides, then headed back to the hotel. Did I mention that Jay got 3 connecting rooms?? Yeah, each couple had their own room! I knocked out right away, while Jonathan went out with Donald and Jen.
The next morning, we got ready and figured we were going to California Adventures. We had breakfast at the Grand Californian Hotel then started another long day. We walked around in circles around the hotel and ended up in the parking lot. Jay said that we were gonna walk.. and we all grumbled and groaned, then all of a sudden he opens the door to a car.. I forgot what kind of car it was.. not a Surburban, but something big like that with a TV and everything. We all didn't bother asking him what we were gonna do, so I dozed off since we were stuck in LA traffic. When I woke up, we were at Universal Studios!! To make things better, we had "Front of the Line Passes" which is exactly what it sounds like. We didn't have to wait in any lines for any of the rides that we rode! Again, we rode all the good rides and called it a night... well after I knocked Spiderman's hand (but that's another story). We headed back to the hotel to eat snacks, meet with Santa, then headed to Downtown Disney to eat at ESPN zone. After we ate dinner in our separate reclining chairs, we played some of the games upstairs. Back at the hotel, we played a few rounds of last card, and finally called it a night.
Friday morning, we pack our stuff since our flight was scheduled to leave at 820pm. We check out, ate breakfast at a place in Disneyland, then head to California Adventures. We rode all the good rides, except for the big Rollercoaster because RIGHT before we were gonna ride, one of the cars get STUCK! Yup, with people inside! So we said "f that" and watched an Aladdin show which was reallllllly goood! We headed back to Disneyland, did some last minute picture taking, souvenir buying, and rode some more rides. We head to the airport, wait around for a long time play last card, and listen to all the announcements about all the cancelled flights. We didn't really pay attention because our flight was on time. We even scored an earlier flight.. but about 5 minutes before our flight was about to leave, they announce that our flight was delayed. So we played more last card. Then when it was time for our flight, they announce that it was cancelled!!!! I started crying because I was starting to get homesick and I really wanted to be home for Christmas Eve! But things turned out fine. Lisa called me and told me about the phat check from Abercrombie, so I called my mom right away and she told me about the even fatter check for me!!!! Too bad I already spent it all and then some.. I know, it's bad.
Jay tells us that he rescheduled our flight and the earliest was at 235pm =( but he got 2 rooms at the Grand Californian Hotel =). We went back to the hotel, played some more last card, girl talk with Jen and Bung while Jay was sleeping and while Jonathan and Donald were buying drinks, drank a little of the greygoose and cranberry, played slap jack buzzed, and then feasted because there was 24 hour room service! holler! Then we slept RIGHT after we stuffed our faces.. haha. We woke up bright and early, ate breakfast at a Lilo and Stitch place, and went back to the airport. Our flight was on time and back to San Jose!!!
So it was Christmas Eve and I was pooooped from my trip. As soon as I came home, I had to freshen up and leave right away to go to Auntie Esther's for the fam party. I was grumpy as hell because Jonathan was lagging!! I go to midnight mass with him and his fam, and when I come back, everyone had JUST finished opening their gifts! I was pissed because I really wanted to see the people I got gifts for open their gifts because I got all thoughtful gifts!!!! Some stupid stuff happened, and I just went home to sleep because I was tired from my trip.. plus it was 2am. My cousins called me to come back at 3am, but I was already in my PJs. However, before I went to bed, my love and I exchanged gifts. His were okayyyyyy, and ended up returning some a few days ago, but I loved seeing his face while he opened his new drums!! Then I went to bed.
Christmas Day, everyone slept in because of the long long night before, and I went with Jonathan to his aunt's house in Hayward for their Christmas Party.. then we head over to Sunnyvale for another Christmas Party. After more fam time, we headed home.
Monday, we woke up early again and headed to Auntie Hazel's. We were supposed to go to lunch, but it ended up being dinner in the city at Crustaceans which was hella good! Before that we went to Best Buy to get Leanna's photo ipod and Guitar Center to get her guitar. Talk about spoiled!!
Tuesday, I ran some errads with Jonathan and my sis. First stop was Target, then to Valley Fair to meet up with my fam. I bought my LV purse! The very first one that IIII actually purchased! Uncle Bill told me to get a matching wallet, but I was like ummmm, next payday.. hah. But he said "No, I'll get it for you!" So right now, my new love is my new purse =). Afterwards, Jonathan and I went to Guitar Center to buy the hardware for his drums... again, he was spoiled by me. But it's ok, he deserves it. He's been really good =) ahah. We go back to his house to drop stuff off then went to Union City to meet with my fam and watch "Cheaper By the Dozen 2". After another long day, we go back to his house to assemble the drums! We did a lot of rearranging and the drums look so good in his room =).
Wednesday, I worked. Went to VF again with the bf, then ate late night dinner at BJ's and saw Dominic there. I made a $50 bet with Jonathan that said that he was gonna be at my house past 11am, and we're not gonna have time to do anything.
This morninng, I got a call from Jonathan to open the door! He was really here! But, his ass was unshowered and still in his PJs. I went back to sleep, and when I woke up he was sleeping right next to me! hahaha. We got ready, headed to Carls Jr for lunch, Mervyns to do some exchanges, Eastridge to do more exchanges and purchases, and back to his house. I was pooped and ended up sleeping for about an hour while he hanged on his drums. When I woke up, we got some pomodoro to go, and he dropped me off. I just finished cleaning my room and it feels good! I have work in the morning! boooooo.
WOW what a long entry... but so far, this vacation has been good. All I need to do is spend some time with my friends.
