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 |:

Feel free to follow my travel tumblr:

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

Mexican Institute of Sound/ Yo Digo Baila (Bufi Remix) by MexicanInstituteofSound
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.

For some reason after work, Cali often thinks its in my best interest to drag me to DC ): ( MAI WALKS AROUND ALL DAY~ What makes you think Mai has energy to walk around DC afterward D: ?!) Well either way, its okay because Cali always makes sure I’m properly fed first & DC is prettier to walk around than my frumpy little store anyways. I also think its mad silly because Cali is from California. He’s lived in California his whole life until August of last year. So the fact that someone who hasn’t even lived in the DMV area for a year is showing me around DC instead of the other way around. . . Well it’s kinda sad, right? ( Don’t ask me why Cali decided to move to this area when he was livin` large in CA, I don’t understand either |: )

So anyway, the first time he dragged me to DC was to go see the monuments at night with his roommates. Apparently the monuments are basically open 24/7? I don’t understand who would want to go see Mr. Lincoln at midnight and beyond, but apparently a lot of people do |: & I don’t actually ever think I’ve been to the memorials/monuments at night. I only remember going during the day time when its hot & filled with unk3wl tourists D:

Lincoln Memorial

Mr. Lincoln up close.

The view of the monument from the Lincoln Memorial.

We decided to play with the exposure/shutter speed settings on my camera :{D

World War II memorial & Lincoln’s in the background.

They wanted to go see the Vietnam memorial too but I was so tired that my legs actually felt like giving out and I had to wake up early the next morning D:

The next time we went to DC, Cali’s roommates were out, so they didn’t come along ):~ Although, we took the metro to Dupont Circle (because Cali literally lives directly in front of a metro station) and walked to the crepe restaurant. O___O~ I never knew DC was so alive at night! Dupont Circle and the surrounding neighborhood like Friendship Heights(?) are really lively and nice to walk through. Like in the circle center of Dupont Circle, they had TVs set up so that people could watch the world cup. Cali wanted to watch, but I had to drag him away because I DNC about watching sports and I wanted my promised crepes |: Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera so I had to use my crappy phone D:

The front~

The counter to order

I got fresh apple with brown sugar & cinnamon. Cali got chocolate & raspberry(?).

If anyone’s wondering where we got our crepes from, we went to Point Chaud and they’re open until midnight I believe? Well Cali are going again tomorrow in the morning before I have to head off to work because I are crave me some yummy yummy fewds & will hopefully remember to bring a camera this time (:

They told me if I bought three Hello Kitty band aids (or a total of three other select items) I would get the bag for free. So I thought to myself, “Well. I’m going to buy three boxes of Hello Kitty band aids within my lifetime so why not?” But now I’m like, “I think a first aid kit needs more than just Hello Kitty band aids in it |:”


Toothpaste, body wash, conditioner, CUPCAKE LUGGAGE TAG, gum~

F*CK YOU HELLO KITTY FOR CONTINUOUSLY RAPING MY WALLET. (I keeding HK, I could never hate you <3)

Inside of the folder & detail of the notepad :{D

HAR HAR~ I’m kidding. I know none of you guys care what I buy at Target |: Are you curious about the BACKSTREET BOYS CONCERT?! Cause it was mad fcking rad! I took a few pictures, but mainly poorly recorded videos. Why? Because we were literally the last row due to a ticket mishap/mix up, the lighting was overexposed on my camera D:, and I was dancing/shaking/screaming a lot so you can hear me. ( Sunny took pictures on his DSLR but is too lazy to upload them |: ) I wasn’t really singing along as much as I was just screaming lyrics n_n;;~ It was held at Wolf Trap, so it was an outside stage. It was raining a bit that day, but cleared up for the show at night (: ~ The show didn’t start until eight but we got there at like 7:30? So Sunny & I just camwhored a bit.

All the way in the back~

LEGIT.

We matched unintentionally with the purple~

I almost never post my face on this blog, so why not?

He looks like a turtle & not a cool mutant ninja one either.

My bangs are literally in my face like this ALL the time. I think it bothers other people more than it bothers me.

My favorite picture of the bunch :{D

Then their opening act came on at eight. An opening act which no one was really aware of. We had no idea who they are, and still don’t have a clue. All I know is that they’re four little kids, they SOUND MUCH younger than Justin Bieber, and have some awesome moves. But that’s all they have going for them. They weren’t singing while dancing, but I think it was their music playing in the background that they were dancing to. They only lasted 15 minutes, so we bummed around for another 45 minutes until Brian Littrell’s son, Baylee, came on stage to introduce the group ♥

Opening act

Full auditorium now~

This isn’t my video but it is definitely a better view of their intro (:

They sang a good 50/50 amount of oldies and newer songs. During their outfit changes, they showed mini short clips of each BSB “starring” as a character in a movie. Like Howie was the main character in one of the Fast & Furious movies, AJ was this guy from Fight Club (not the main character), Nick was the main guy in Matrix, and Brian was the prince from Enchanted. Man, for my first concert ever it was fcking amazing~ I’ve never screamed so much like a crazed fan before. And for people in their mid 30s, they do a pretty damn good job of making adolescent teens still scream for them. They didn’t even have to be crazy sexual like a lot of the modern artists these days, (no dry humpingg~ they kept it classy & old skool).

Of course I couldn’t leave such an awesome concert without supporting them by snagging an overpriced t-shirt:

Apparently, they were going clubbing that night for an after party but I was too exhausted to go so I went home and downloaded some more of their oldies (:

& N`SYNC FANS CAN JUST SUCK IT! I’ve been a BSB fan for life :{D~ I wouldn’t mind if Britney Spears went on tour with her oldies too like Sometimes & Lucky.

So sad that Kevin’s gone now ;w;

And just because, here’s my recording of I Want It That Way (my favorite karaoke song evar~). Unfortunately, you can hear me screaming/singing really loudly/badly so I’m sorry if I ruined the song for you, but this is how I normally sing it when I go karaoke with friends n____n;;~ ESPECIALLY THAT CLIMAX PART. & I uploaded a few other recordings on YouTube but the quality isn’t worth it to watch. You could probably search & find better ones x;
