Florida/Bahamas Vacation pt6

I'll save the finale for last :D!

Day 7 - jul4
10:16am
Woke up around 8 since my parents told us that we had to be ready by 9 for this tour. We've been sitting here for around 30mins now and the transportation that was supposed to be included with the tour that we signed up for isn't here yet at all. I'm starting to think that either...

Also in other news, I texted -censored- last night saying that I miss him so much and I do :( He replied saying to just enjoy my trip. He won't have to worry since I am enjoying my trip :)

a) we got here too late
b) the tour company is late
c) scam

Boooo.

In other news, kuya W is back in Vancouver. Awwww...I miss the youth :(

10:39am
Finally on the bus for our tours and this bus is ghetto. Two-seater on the right side and one-seater on the left. Then, attached to the two-seater is this folding seat and this bus sure is full. Sitting next to a super sweaty, most likely drunk or at least intoxicated, white man, it's pretty nast. Then his friend is cracking up jokes. luuuulz. Sarcastic or not, it's pretty hilair.

10:51am
looooool. My dad with his cowboy hat and wrinkled forehead looks so cute. xD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:08pm
We're finally on the boat! Time to go back to Florida then go back to Vancouver the day after. Wooooh.

The Bahamas isn't actually all that great. It's nice, I'll admit, but the people here are so hellbent on tourism, tourists and trying to con people out of their money as much as they can that it takes away from the true beauty of the country and island itself. Quite disappointing really.

Florida/Bahamas Vacation pt4

A break from all the manga posts. Here's a continuation of my family vacation! Also, here are the links to the two albums from one of the cameras.

Day 5 - jul2
3:20am
It's too early! And what the fuck was all that noise that I heard from the kitchen. It's so early and I hear banging and clanging. WTF!!!!!!

3:41am
20minutes later and I'm still sleep as hell. Got around 4-5hrs of sleep cause I couldn't sleep at 10 :( It's actually really cold right now D: frick. I hate this feeling of cold feet and arms. What's worse is that I don't have anything to protect myself with. Nooooooooooo. Lulzk.

I just realized that today is one of the few trips where I haven't brought ANY stuffed animal of mine n_n No rice, no piggy, no doggy or no bear! It makes me feel all grown up :o It's like...I've finally crossed the line between an adult and a child! Woohoo! I won't lie, it def feels weird but it should be okay..

6:55am
We're here at the port now, waiting to board the ship. There's actually quite a bit of people. I'm wearing W's and C's birthday gift to me underneath this oversized top thingy. It's nerve-wracking really, to wear this bikini top since I don't have enough boob :( I'm scared that the tops covering my chest would slip off or something :(

7:24am
So, I think that this lady that we have to go through to board the ship has her panties in a knot. I bet you that she's going through PMS right now and thinking "Oh, I'll mess with this family today." Bitch. We're held up cause of my sister's papers and it's really annoying. It'd suck if she isn't allowed to board and go with us to the Bahamas.

In other news, I'm allowed to drink alcohol once we're outside Florida waters xD woohoooooooooo. Oh. And I'm REALLY hungry too.

10:14am
The boat is finally moviiiiiing. We're on our way to the Bahamas. Unfortunately, my sister isn't with us :/ She has some issues with her passport and papers so she isn't able to come :( The rest of the fam kind of had a bash sesh during brunch here on the boat n_n;; but it all made sense. I felt bad but she really can be mean at times.

In other news, my brother and I have been walking around and we tried to get some drinks. Apparently, I'm not allowed yet but it's okay. I was given this privilege so I won't abuse it and just wait until I'm allowed to. Watching FIFA now and this girl with major nippage just passed by without a bra. Talk about awk and totes disg. Eurgh! She's someone that I'd definitely want to post up on www.thedirty.com -o-

1:21pm
Finally awake from a nap. I wonder if we're close or if we're on international H2Os. luuulz.

1:49pm
Captain's Log. July 2nd. Year 2010. Friday. Trip day 5. With the 4 of us remaining, we managed to get on the boat. The staff set us up with a cabin on the Andros Deck. Cabin's number is 4412 and all that my crew and I have been doing is sleeping in this tiny room. Despite the size, we all fit in somehow; with one small bed, one round window and one full bathroom, we made do. Squishing three bodies on the bed and one body on the floor, it all worked out.

My first mate is down from the alcohol he consumed. I be sleeping across the top of the bed with my feet on the small table-like contraption. My first mate is right up against the wall and his head is right up against my right arm.

Sailor 1 is down on the ground, lying parallel to the bed and Sailor 2 is right next to my first mate and using my stomach as her pillow.

The meal served to us was nothing special. A simple brunch with a wide array of stale fruits and over-processed, typical breakfast proteins. One component is to commended, however, and that would be the pancakes. Small in size but fluffy and perfectly sweet.

This small journey to the unknown begins today with many adventures in the store. We have already lost a ship mate and we hope to all return safely. Captain's Log end.

Florida/Bahamas Vacation pt3

Day 4 - jul1
7:52am
Freaking hell D: It's so early and they say that it's already afternoon =_= Eyebags are huuuuge. I can feeeeeeel them.

9:03am
Woooh. Off to return the rental car and then to the Kennedy Space Center! Wooooooh. My kuya (big brother in Tagalog) is driving my aunt's car for now :p Anyway, he made a good observation. The houses and stuff look so stereotypically American. Each one has those mailboxes out on the front lawn and each house has a front lawn and back yard with older cars n_n It's rather interesting actually.

11:29am
Here at Kennedy Space Cetnre, I'm conducting a travel video experience of my travels to Mars! It's pretty funny :P

12:23pm
Wooooooooow. Talk about otakus. After seeing the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building), the first thoughts that come into the minds of my brother and I include: "Imagine if an Evangelion was revealed!" or "What if an Evangelion was inside?" and "What if they find Evangelions on Mars?" tsk tsk tsk.

In other news, someone special to me seems to be with me everywhere and it includs Florida. I'm not sure why they used that code for it but they did. [censored] !!! Hahahahaha. Although now fully accurate and similar to their RF ign, it's VERY close. Took a picture just for them :)

12:50pm
JFK looks like Steve Hicks. LOL.

1:18pm
It's actually getting cold inside these airconditioned areas n_n Lunch time at the Moon Rock Cafe!

3:29pm
We're on our way back now and boy, is it hot in this car or what! We didn't get to go to all that we wanted to but it's okay. My dad said that it's because we didn't leave early enough. I don't really mind but that's pretty mean :( Oh well.

In terms of fam issues, my sister was being a real bitch earlier. She said that we were thinking of making her look greedy by taking pictures only with the camera that I'm usually bringing around. I said that we weren't and asked her where she got that idea from or who told her. She replied by telling me that, "Obviously, nobody would say anything," and I was just so mad. Freaking hell =_= like,  what the fuck? Is she THAT paranoid? =___=

7:45pm
Eating dinner at my aunt's house with her 3rd husband but without her. I rather feel bad for this man since he's alone most of the day. It's kinda awkward but then it isn't at the same time. I don't know o_O

Key Lime Pie isn't as good as I thought it'd be. It's too sweet :( it's like a sweetened version of the cake that Sergio's mom made for Valeria, except on Placebo.

9:40pm
I'm about to go to bed now since we're leaving at 4am tomorrow which means that I have to wake up at around 3-3:30am. In Vancouver time...
sleep = 6:40pm
wake up = 12-12:30am
leave = 1am
So this would be like a nap :P In any case, I swear R called me! He says no and I think he's been telling people but my caller id will prove it! It's really weird :/ but this is good because then a certain person will be turned off by the way I'm acting now (I hope) and I'll be inclined to stop liking said person. It's weird though since I feel like I'm in love with someone else already and I've begun liking this person. I don't know. Maybe it's just admiration, similar to what Tiffany had :o Admiration for the person who I'm hoping will be turned off by my attitude, not the latter person. Okaaaaay, getting off-topic again.

Uhm, my aunt has a dog, two birds, two chickens and a goldfish (I think) and each one has a peculiarity or interesting story in their own way.

dog = His name is Chico or Chito and he's a 4-month old Dachshund. He's very friendly and hyper x) He also bit off the wire cord of my aunt's cassette tape player LOL. He drinks water from the hose instead of his water bowl. I actually feel bad for this dog since he doesn't look like he's receiving much love :(

two birds = I think that they're supposed to be love birds but they act far from it. They don't sit next to each other that much AT ALL.

two chickens = My aunt said that once, she ran out of chicken feed so she fed them dog food and they laid two eggs the same day each. LOL. They're also fat :P

goldfish = It lives in a bowl with two shells and a real plant overflowing on top. Apparently, my aunt doesn't give it anything to eat and it somehow survived on it's own. I just thought that that's weird.

I watched an old mystery/cop-ish type movie earlier. It was really weird. This lady said she didn't think her husband would commit suicide but you find out in the end that he does. Apparently, he's "gay" and he couldn't live with it. He also killed one gay person and he was responsibly for the death of a gay mutilator somehow. It was REALLY weird <_<;;

boooooooooooooooo =(

So I've been sick since...Wednesday. I would say Thursday but Wednesday was when I began feeling the symptoms - sore throat, stuffed nose in the morning, etc. It sucks cause I'm on a streak! Last year or two years ago, there was a time when I would get sick every two months but since my mom started this whole "drink freshly squeezed orange or grapefruit juice every morning and my dad continuing it with lemon since my mom left" thing in February, I have NEVER gotten sick since! Strangely enough, while I was out on Wednesday buying some corn and other stuff for this BBQ my friend was having in honour of Game 7 of the NBA Playoffs with the Lakers VS Celtics, a friend of mine called. We had plans the next day but we had to cancel because he began to feel sick. I began telling him about what my parents were making me drink and he seemed skeptical about it. I told him that I have not gotten sick so it must be working. Ironically, I got super sick on Thursday night. -o- I'm still not well yet but I did get considerably much better on Friday (but only on Friday it seems since I went back to medium sickness yesterday and today).

Anyway, here are Izzy's go-to remedies to getting healthier:

1. SLEEP for at LEAST 16 hours the first day.
-> Like I said, I got considerably much better on Friday despite having such a terrible night on Thursday. My cold was gone the whole Friday!

2. Neocitran
-> Love this stuff. Relieves the stuffy nose =)

3. Tylenol Extra Strength
-> Helps you sleep longer

4. Buckley's
-> The menthol in it clears the sinus area, thus allowing you to breathe better.
-> I know it tastes horrible but it works. Okay? Suck it up and don't be such a fucking pussy.

5. Hot water w/ sliced ginger. and lots of it.
-> Water is always good but ginger gives it that extra kick. Didn't they say that ginger is good for you anyway? =P

6. Warm clothes
-> I always wear a scarf, thick socks and long sleeves to bed whenever I'm sick whether it's summer or not. It helps to sweat it out o: Especially when you have a fever

7. Tissue
-> Obviously! To blow your nose and wipe with =)

8. Linen change
-> Indeed. Change your linens after to get rid of the bacteria in your room -o-;
-> Cleaning your actual room helps too!

And there you have it! I hope you guys take this advice in the future (or some of it) and get better quicker =)

I'll be posting again soon regarding the NBA finals + that day and my upcoming grad! ^_^

Can I eat anymore?! -__-

So...another eating post. Talk about crazy haha. I do have pictures but I'm too lazy to upload them D: Okay so tonight, I chilled with the youth fam bam again. We were gonna do Korean BBQ at this place near Coquitlam Centre but they doubled the prices since I was last there =_= Pissed me off. Anyway, we ended up at ASAHI in Port Coquitlam beside the 7-11. All the guys and I went with the all-you-can-eat while these four other girls went with the usual chicken teriyaki (seriously guys? EXPAND YOUR PALATES. FUCK D: there's other things than chicken teriyaki =__= ) Yep. All-you-can-eat Japanese.

At the end, this guy named JR mixed his over wasabi'd soy sauce with the ginger that was not touched and the raining mound of wasabi on this huuuge plate where all the makis were placed (the restaurant really piled high on the garnish n_n ) and I ended up daring R to eat a part of it. JR got him to eat a teeny piece but I called him a pussy when he refused to eat an even bigger portion and he ended up eating it. Crazy boy hahahaha. n_n;;

We had slurpees afterwards cause the waitress couldn't hear my voice and we were all really thirsty by the time we left =( Then we chilled at M's place cause it was nearby and we played some CoD4, took pics on M's iMac and made some videos. JR and L passed out hahahaha xD I managed to stay up with W and R was half and half. Our hosts M and IA HAD to stay awake of course but yeah. ORP came in somewhere with her two cousins. Kinda awk. Didn't really talk to her <_<; But yeah...

Cost around $24 tonight. Pretty good. Just that my stomach is soo full and it's gurgling and whatnot @_@; I did not even feel like this last week after that large BP pizza. The efff?

Roman numerals def ain't working out

I give up on the roman numerals. Too hard n__n

So today, I had to undergo a gum grafting procedure. For those of you who don't know what it is or can't make out what it is just by the name, here's a link to a website explaining what it is.

It's been about 9hours since the end of the procedure. After 3 hours of napping, I found two small patches of blood + saliva on my pillows. Probably from drooling while sleeping haha. I did not feel much pain at all when I woke up so it isn't that bad. Took me about an hour to eat my dinner which consisted of a mix of brown rice and white rice and beef caldereta (a Filipino dish. kind of like beef stew but with a different taste). I cut up the beef in a few different sizes to test my limits on chewing and eventually found the perfect size! A .125mm^2 cube lolololol. After a few bites, the pain kicked in and it really hurt T_T; Not sure how but yeah. Eventually, things are okay now =) Def some minor swelling but it is not noticeable at all.

No pictures to show because that's just gross.
