I'm finally getting my act together and starting a blog. I didn't want to start one until I was more settled in my plans for the next few months and also because I'm lazy. Well, I'm happy to say that I am a bit more settled and not as hectic. I still have a few details to complete (like getting plane tickets...) but I'm almost there. Before I divulge my itinerary, I have to catch up on my past two months since I left my job. wow...two months gone by already... Here goes...
7/16 - 7/31 - My last two weeks in LA were extremely hectic - seeing friends, packing, dealing with the apartment management, etc. Everything worked out in the end, as it always does, but it was still stressful. Thanks to all my friends who helped me pack and move. I don't think I would've made it on the plane without their help. Thanks to my friends who came out to my last beach day in Hermosa Beach and to Red Pearl Kitchen. I definitely miss my life and friends in LA. It's sad because my friends were my family out there and I've gotten so close to them. I definitely miss them.
8/1 - 8/14 - Chicago was next on the list. Lollapalooza was a out of control with Toya, Nae, Katey, Kyle, and Randy. With 50,000?? people and over 100 bands the weekend was crazy riding the wave of people from stage to stage.
Day 1 - Jack's Mannequin, Silversun Pickups, LCD Sound Systems, Daft Punk.
Day 2 - Tokyo Police Club, Pete Yorn, Cold War Kids, Regina Spektor, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Spoon, Muse!!!
Day 3 - Amy Winehouse, Blue October, Peter Bjorn and John, Modest Mouse, and Pearl Jam!!
When was the last time you went to a water park??? Well let me tell ya that Wisconsin Dells is perhaps the biggest water park in the U.S. Spent 3 days there with my sister and her two adorable babies. Playing aunt is difficult but it's worth it. Little Jin is not so little for an 8 month old weighing in at 22 lbs. Him and his chubby legs and always laughing and smiling. He's a little Koala. Pictures to come. Lian is getting big and really independent...also defiant...typical 2 1/2 year old. Still really cute. Indoor surfing was an interesting experience.
Other events in Chicago:
Cousin Amy's grand opening of Ra Sushi...
Chicago Museum of Art...
8/14 - 8/31 - Back to NYC. It's weird being back for longer than a weekend and not having to return to LA. I felt so "homeless". Not knowing where I'll be permanently. What do i say when people ask me if I'm back for good? Or that they're happy that I moved back? Because i'm not ready to make a commitment to any city right now... the fear of commitment, or maybe it's just that I don't have a clue as to what I want to do and where I want to live. Nonetheless, I had a blast while I was there. It was good to spend time with my parents and awesome to hang out with my girlfriends and friends again. Felt like the good ol' times...
