Hi everyone! I got back from Vietnam last week, which was earlier than expected because the trip was extremely bad and unfortunately this time around, my sister and I couldn’t rough it out another ten days. I could go into detail about why it was bad, but I think I’ve done enough bitching about it already, so moving on (: !

Before I went to Vietnam, I went to Virginia Beach with my friends. It was really awesome because Kaye managed to get us a discounted price for a hotel with an ocean front view. Weee! Imagine staying at a hotel and seeing the beach from your balcony, it was mad nice! Although, the parking at the hotel sucked so we ran into a corner while attempting to park and scratched Sunny’s dad’s van D: ! Aside from that bad luck, the beach was really sunny and it only rained in the evening when we were going to eat dinner, so no t`was no problem.

On the way there, we saw this pretty bad ass biker. So all of us pulled out our DSLRs (except for Sunny because he was driving and except for Cali because he sucks and does not own one) to take pictures of him. I was afraid he was the scary kind that might kill us for taking his picture, but he saw us and waved/smiled so I snapped away :{D

I also have to point out that this guy has a beast license plate. For everyone who can’t read it, it says, “2 SEK Z” XD~

My friends have, for some reason, grown to calling each other a bitch, or just throwing around the word so excessively that it’s very casual amongst us (and we forget that other people aren’t in our joke so we call them it too D: ) so this I found this t-shirt amusing.

On the boardwalk~

Another angle.

Kiddies digging a hole.

Kiddies buried me in the hole D:

Afterward, we had to drive out to Kyushu for dinner because all of the restaurants on the boardwalk seemed really low quality for the obnoxious price they were asking for. For a tiny restaurant in the middle of nowhere, it was freaking amazing!

Miso Soup

Spicy mussels

Cucumber & octopus salad(?) & other pickled veggies.

Onigiri

Tempura

I believe this is Cali’s sushi platter?

My sushi platter

Phana’s sushi platter (?)

& Sunny’s sushi platter (I think..)

Okay, I’m going to be honest and say that I don’t remember who this belongs to… Cali’s?

Kaye’s rice & egg bowl.

MY vanilla creme brulee~ There was a little hand drawn sign behind us that did some good advertising because it made me crave some, but I was dyslexic/ignorant-with-french-pronunciations & accidentally read “cream bruce lee” D:

We are all highly attractive people, I know.

After dinner, we went for a walk around the boardwalk at night.

Sand texture after the rain.

We caught the end of a band playing. I have no idea what they called but they had an amazing bass (the giant orchestra bass) player.

Hermit crabs with painted shells climbing on teh cage.

A colorful little amusement park.

Along the boardwalk at night, Kaye & Phana got their ears pierced for a really reasonable price compared to what they charge here in Northern Virginia. Kaye got her cartilage pierced and Phana got a really smexy industrial. I wanted to get extra piercings on my ears too, but since it was right before Vietnam, I didn’t think I could hide my piercings for a month over there with my parents D:~ Shamee! Maybe next time we go down.

We were exhausted that night, but wanted to wake up in time to see the sunrise on the beach. Unfortunately we slept through ALL of our alarms (except for Phana who did wake up and then went to go turn them off =_=;;) so these were the closest to sunrise pictures that I could get D:

This has been my towel since the elementary years <3

I like these songs.

By this time tomorrow I’ll be in another country. I won’t be updating this blog anymore due to the complications of me logging into this account on another computer which is something I just don’t want to do because its risky of having some Vietnamese punk hacking my domain |:

However I have tried to pre-write a few blog posts on this blog so that it is still continuously updated while I’m overseas (:

Have a great summer guys <3

I think this track is banging & you should too.

This is turning out to the most exhausting summer vacation of my life. Most of the time, I’ve spent my summer vacations literally just laying around every single day on the computer & work. That’s it. That’s what my summer vacations have been like, extremely dull. However, with all of these new friends I’ve made this past school year, I’ve been continuously dragged out a lot & I’m exhausted! Work work work, play play play, work, play, work, play, work. I have yet to have a day where I just sit around and do nothing. Maybe today will be that day since I have a day off & I’m technically grounding myself because I have to finish cleaning out my old room today o; Either way, I’m not complaining, just observing. I’m going back to the homeland for a month so at least I’ll have a forced month break from work & these friendly activities.
