2012. God is in favour

A year had passed just like that, 2011 was definitely not a breeze yet i sailed through it safely. It passed so fast beyond my imagination and there were alot that happened in my life. I guess blogging isnt the norm for most adoleacents anymore but i just have a sudden urge to do so.

Bethany said that 2011 is a year of multiplication ad promotion and indeed i see that being so true. A side note, my weight has gained quite a sumful too but im determined to lose then this year muahahahaha.

I've drafted my resolutions for 2012 and i do hope i'll fulfill them, of which the most crucial is to be more patient. Before i even start on blogging about my wonderful hpliday, i'd like to say how much im grateful for Jesus Christ who truly is awesome, i think no words could ever express His unfailing grace and His greatness in my life. For everything He has done this year and how the story of "Footprints in the Sand" is really true. I must admit graciously that im afraid for whats in store for me this year but i know God is with me, why should i be afraid right.

Lets proceed to my holiday journey last year (its kinda surreal when i say that). So i went to 2 states only for almost 3 weeks which are California and Nevada. To sum it all up, it was fun and i was reluctant to go back to be truthgul. But pop always say "Theres a time for everything". So for the first few days i went Anaheim which is a pretty decent city with pretty minute buildings and we went Disneyland which wasnt that great as what i expected. We kept buying tacobells which could pass off as my favourite mexican fastfood restaurant cause of the cheese quesadilla with jalapeno sauce (really goooooooood food) and not to forget my CHURROS!!!! I went to so many forever 21 that its uncountable ( i told rai cry reb that if they ever come there they would go bonkers, f21 is huge). Certain branded things there are much much MUCH cheaper that they are all so mouthwatering, thank God my popmom gave us substantial budget if not we would have gone bonkers. Oh ya not to mention department stores such as Marshalls, Ross, Nordstrom Rack, Macy are soooo tempting. So all in all we just viaited a couple theme parks for the first few days but honestly the rides werent that nerve-wrecking, maybe cuz we didnt visit Magic Mountain where all the crazily terrifying rides are. By the second day we were so sick of American food that all we wanted was just to eat rice, no kid.

We stayed with my aunt for a couple of days and it was undoubtedly one of the most comfortable place ive stayed in the states. Moreover, i can get to play with my newly born niece called Noelle, she's such an angel. We had a very heartwarming Christmas eve where we had dinner together with sucha big family and ended off with gifts exchange and a few rounds of charades (hilarious). Then we moved to Las Vegas babehhhh and it was filled with quite astoundingly interesting buildings. It was quite unbelievable that the casinos everywhere were open to public view, even small kids like us could view distinctly the whole gambling scenes and also not excluding the fact that so many people do actually publicise and garner support for showgirls there. I watched "Phantom of the Opera" and "David Copperfield Dhow" which were mediocre i guess nothing fancy maybe due to the fact that im not a musically inclined person.

Our last 2 days were spent in The beautiful city of San Fransisco which what i thought to be the most meaningful visit i had throughout the trip. I had a ball of a time viewing all the different places of interest especially the Beauty Houses or something like that. And i ate at this place called "Crustacean" which had very very scrumptious garlic noodles, im not a fan of noodles but it was really one of the best noodles ive ever eaten. The last few hours were spent shopping around the district and United Square. It was thrilling the fact that i accompanied Martina to shop cuz she had leftover cash and thus we headoff by ourselves, the clock was ticking and we were almost late to go back to the hotel and head off for the airpprt. So we ran and ran like terrified girls partly cause of the homeless people who were rather intimidating but it was a memorable experience. One regret i had was not buying the Abercrombie shirt and pullover which wasnt that cheap considering i never thought too much of that shop beforr buy its alright my cash were spent on other better things. So there it goes the story of my vacation i hope whoever is reading this has a good one too!!!(prolly close to nil considering i closed this space for almost a year and nobody uses blogger anymore)


Lastly, I MISS THE COOLING WEATHER IN STATES and now im burning in indo.


Have a great new year everyone! Xoxo
