Catalina,

I was too lazy to blog about this, but I shall do it for Alex since he
wants to read about it! ^^; Just for you baby~

Well on Monday, Ngoc, Thu (cousin), Manami, Christina & I went to
Catalina. We had to wake up really early to go over to the hangers in
LB. Everyone was up and I was the only one in bed because I didn't want
to wake up. IT WAS TOOOO EARLY. So then I think they beat me up or
something to get me out of bed. I forgot. But I finally got out. I just
wore sweat pants a shirt and brought 2 jackets with me. I was extremely
horribly dressed that day but WHO CARES! I dressed for comfort k guys.
Then we went over to Denny's to eat breakfast and then went over to
Lee's Sandwhiches to buy out lunch to eat over @ Catalina. COMMUNIST
BREAD ZOMG. Then we got over to the hangers and Ngoc, Manami, &
Christina went on the first flight. So Thu & I hung out over at the
hangers for like an hour. It was pretty fun though! We danced and sang
and I plucked Thu's _____. A man passed us and was like

Man: *walks by* "...." "How are you doing?"
Thu & I: LOLOLOLOL

I bet he thought we were like weird freaks or something. Buttttt iz all
good. WE DO WHATEVER WE WANT.

Anyway, finally Chu Dan came back and it was our turn to fly to
Catalina. THE CLOUDS WERE SO SO SO SO SO PRETTY UP FRONT. I tooook some
pictures of it. But it was so much better in real life yo.

When we got to the Catalina Airport it was pretty gray and chilly. I
thought the Airport was one of the most beautiful sight ever. I loved
it. Everyone else said it looked like a ghost town because it looked
kind of run down. But I thought it was a beautiful and nice touch to
everything!

Then, we had to take a minibus thingy over to Avalon. I had small chats
with the elderly woman who drove the minibus. I am not sure but it took
about 30+ minutes to get to Avalon.

When we arrived I thought it felt so surreal. Like we were in a totally
different country. I felt like I was in the setting of the movie "Mamma
Mía". I was like, wooooooooooow amazing beautiful.

We wandered around for a bit and the first place we stopped at was the
beach. We picked up rocks and tried to skip them! I skipped a rock 2
times and they both skipped twice on the water! Yayyy!!! *feels
accomplished* Then we went over to Brown's Bikes and we wanted to rent
some bikes but we found out we had to have a 18+ guardian to sign the
release form to rent the bikes. Grrrrrrrr.

So then we wandered around some more and decided to sit and eat lunch.
We only had about less than 3 hours on the island because we couldn't
fly after it gets dark which was at 5PM. So we had to leave Avalon @ 2PM
since the bus ride was almost an hour and we needed 2 hours for 2 rounds
of flights.

Anyway, Ngoc and Thu were being mean bitches towards the seagulls by
teasing them with food. LOL. Tsk Tsk. Poor poor seagulls.

We just wandered around for a bit and then a man came over and asked if
we needed any help. I asked him where the Casino was and then he pointed
out where it was. I KNEW IT. But no... Christina said it was a
"courthouse" or whatever.

So we walked towards it and it was closed till 1:45 when a tour would
start.

We walked past the casino and saw a stand for kayaking. Ngoc pretended
to be 18 and then we got to rent the kayaks.

Someday, I am going to kayak in the ocean and just sit back and relax in
the middle of it all and think about my life.

The ocean is extremely calming and quiet. I loved it so much. I am
definately going to come back to Catalina. I hope it will be as empty as
it was on Monday. It's better when it's nice and quiet and not as
crowded and full of tourists.

We only got to kayak for barely 30 minutes because we were about to be
late for the bus. So we went back to shore and everyone else changed and
then we ran back to where the bus was suppose to be.

Afterwards,
-waited at airport
-scared of my freaking life because of Thu's piloting skill
-Just kidding, I have faith in you Thu.
-Hung out in the hangers waiting for others to fly back
-Attempted to drive Chu Dan's car
-Got freaked out from trying to reverse and stopped trying to drive
-Went to Islands to eat dinner
-Christina's an evil bitch
-Went to Barnes and Nobles
-Bought 2 minibooks; Coffee with: Marilyn Monroe & Mozart
-Went home

I had a fun day today. I need to come back to Catalina. It's a good
place to go, relax & think.
