An Exciting Rest of the Year To Look Forward To! Freedom!

It's been around 18.75 years in the makings! Life has gotten back to normal after a 1-year uncertainty of my future education. After several heated discussions with my folks, I will officially be attending ....

CSU Long Beach!

Although I have not liked grade school and high school, I am really excited for college for the most part. I'm now really excited to leave my parent's home and live close to my favorite city in the world and the city I call home, Los Angeles. I have always wanted to move to Los Angeles to be closer to the entertainment industry and the amusement parks. I have always felt like bursting into tears every time I leave the Southern California Area because the movie stars and the cartoon characters created there really touched my happy heart so deeply that my eternal dream was created. In my opinion, no city in this world can even compare to the enthusiastic, sunny Southern California.

Going away from my parent's home also has its drawbacks. Life will not be the same without my parents. I am very grateful for all they have done to move me forward through my childhood. That being said, I honestly feel like I will have a better life away from my parent's home since there also have been alot of restrictions and hard times in their house. I'll explain a little more.

I have had disputes with my parents regarding vacations. I understand that my parents have been stressed out the past few years and Hawaii is their paradise. As a result, we traveled to Hawaii once per year for the last 7 years, excluding 2014. We went to Oahu in all those trips,went  to the Big Island on our 2011 trip, went to Kauai on our 2013 trip, and went to Maui on our 2015 trip. They wanted to return to Hawaii again. I  do not want to go back to Hawaii again this year because I have been to Hawaii so many times in a short time span and that I wanted to visit New York again, and other cities I have never been to, such as London, Paris, and Chicago. As a result of me attending CSU Long Beach, we will not be going to Hawaii this year.

We will instead make 2 trips to the L.A. Area this year instead of 1. The 1st trip will be in late-June-early July to check out the CSU Long Beach Campus and to enjoy more fun at some of my favorite amusement parks/resorts in the world, including The SeaWorld San Diego, The LEGOLAND California Resort, and most of all, the Disneyland Resort. I also really hope to cruise along Mission Beach. I've heard that beach is really popular among Californians and out-of-state tourists.

The Start of a New Month Back in California

I returned from my aspiring adventure to Florida, where I had a lot of fun at the magical Walt Disney World Resort and the spectacular Kennedy Space Center. My favorite part about this vacation was performing in the Indiana Jones Spectacular and sketching some of my favorite animals I saw at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Here are some of the top memories from this vivid vacation:

Well, I am glad to be back in California, my favorite state in the United States! Finally got to have some real, authentic Chinese food after a week in Florida with Americanized-Chinese food. Pretty much, if you live outside California and Hawaii, if you live outside any of the big cities on the West Coast, and if you live outside the big East Coast cities of New York, Washington, D.C., and Boston, it will be pretty difficult to find good-tasting, authentic Chinese food, as your area probably does not have enough Chinese people to meet the demand requirement. Florida's Chinese buffet food was nowhere compared to L.A.'s Hong Kong BBQ at the Sam Woo Restaurant! Here are the big North American cities I feel has the best Chinese food:

1. The Greater Los Angeles Area

2. New York City, NY

3. The San Francisco Bay Area

4. Vancouver, BC

5. Honolulu, HI

We ate at the Cooking Papa Restaurant, one of my favorite Chinese restaurants back in the Bay Area, my temporary home. I had my favorite meal, Beef with Rice Noodles! It was also in a soup, which made the meal even more convenient and fulfilling! Yummm!!!!!

A new month in California has started for me! Had no problem adjusting 3 hours back to the Pacific Time Zone. Anyway, stay tuned as I cruise through this marvelous month!

Florida Day 6: Disney's Hollywood Studios

Friday, April 13, 2018

I had a creative time here at Disney's Hollywood Studios! This park is a mini-version of Hollywood, having the TCL Chinese Theatre, Sunset Boulevard, and much more! Here are the photos from this memorable day!

One of my favorite parts of the day was performing in the Indiana Jones Spectacular! A big thanks to producer Mindy and God for both giving me this opportunity. This is just the beginning of my eternal moviemaking dream!

Some of my favorite ABC shows:

 
We went to eat lunch after the performance and pictures. Had my favorite french fries and hamburger.

Mexican Lunch

Yummy French Fries and this Awesome Hamburger

I looked at a bunch of facts about Walt Disney. He and I have a lot in common; we both have about the same dream, we both struggled in school and do not like school to the max, we both really wanted to move to L.A. to immediately start work in the show business.

Unfortunately, it was time to go after a long day. I'm flying back home to California tomorrow.
