Whatever: Boston Trip

I just can't believe it has been almost a week that I have been in Boston. The city has many things to offer and I am loving it. The only complain is the coldness. It is in the 40's today and I just feel like I am drying and cracking from the cold. I have been shopping and sight seeing and having a great time. The night life was awesome and I met many people that made my trip a memorable one. We are leaving for NYC in a couple of days and I just can't wait. It will be awesome and I can feel it !

What I have accomplish so far?

Drank almost a whole double size bottle of red wine with Daria and followed up with Stella A. Beer right after. Alcoholic syndrome maybe but I love it!

Took a T train and get around Boston and visited places that I want to visit by myself

Ate yucky fattening food that taste so awesome right before bed

Went out two nights in a row

Finally had an original Boston Creme Pie

Finally had a taste of real fresh seafood. Calm Chowder and Crab Cake never taste better !

Visited Harvard Square...crazy place to be

Walked down Newbury Street that reminds me so much of Scottland and Melbourne

Here are some of the pictures..I will post some more when I have time..














Boston Financial District at night.















Beautiful New Bury Street. The place to shop if you have heavy wallet but we found H&M and that caused us to get wild.














We are animal activists!

Whatever: East Coast Trip

I woke up this morning and had the worst hang over ever. Thanks to my lovely friends who decided to throw me a nice go away party ( I will be gone for 2 weeks) which I thought was nice untile I realized that they just used my-go-away as an excuse to drink. Free shorts from the handsome older guy at the bar and we are all pretty tipsy. I am at work now and thanks to Advil. Advil comes in handy these days. I just got back from the wedding in Northern California last weekend. It was surprising nice and fun. My friend from NYC was in town and he asked me to be his date for the event. I am glad that I said yes and went with him. It was fun and I enjoyed a week away from LA a whole lot. The driving was pretty long because I lost my cd player to the thugs, we ended up listenting to random radio stations and talk about nonsense stuffs.

The hotel was real nice and right by the water. I would have to say it is a beautiful wedding ( I think Daria's wedding has more personality though) and I would not mind getting marry right by the ocean.

In a couple of days I will be in Boston and I just can't believe that the trip is already here. I decided to go eventhough my travel maid has to back up the last minute. I think it will be a great experience to visit the unknown towns and places and walk around by myself. I decided that I will have to get a new MP3 player since I lot my IPOD >_< on the way home from Thailand. I hate myself.... So I will be in Boston for about a week and 6 days in NYC to visit my friend and his new kitties. I can't wait and I am so excited about the weather...I have not seen snow in my whole life. I think this will be it! So hoolay!

Here are some of the pictures from my Northern California trip.

Beautiful West Coast

Global Warming? I can't tell..

Whatever: Anticipating the holidays

Say what you will-- I LOVE the holidays. This year is even more exciting because I'll be spending them on the east coast, where winter actually exists. Everyone's been telling me how much I'm going to hate the icy weather...but they don't understand how lame it is to spend Christmas day in 90 degree heat.

I'm appreciating the cold weather so far. For example, today I got to wear my new full-length chocolate wool coat to campus...and I heard on the news that LA is currently dealing with record temperatures in the upper 90's... Just think, if I were still on the west coast my coat would never see the light of day.

So back to the holidays...I'm taking my first trip to New York City for Thanksgiving weekend. How exciting is that? Then, for Christmas, my parents are flying out to Boston for a week so I can show them the city. On Christmas day, we'll be heading up to Maine to see my brother and his girlfriend's family. For New Year's, some more of my friends are coming to visit me and check out Boston. And best of all...I'll be on break from the rigors of grad school for 6 glorious weeks.

The holiday countdown has already begun for me. I've got my pumpkin spice coffee, lots of warm weather gear, AND a real fireplace in my apartment. Now I just need to update my iPod with a new Christmas playlist and I'm all set.
