Spring Break

I probably should have blogged about spring break during spring break because I've forgotten about  most of the things that happened haha.  I did get the chance to hang out with a lot of friends who I never get to see during the school year so that was fun. 

Jackie and I went to Disney's California Adventures on Tuesday.  I finally got her to go on Toy Story Mania since she's never been on it!

This was us waiting in line.  We kept wondering if Mr. Potato Head could actually see people b/c we overheard him calling out to a girl in front of him saying, "Hey you!  Yeah you in the yellow jacket" and she was actually wearing a yellow jacket too!  Scary...

We both later went on the Ferris Wheel at night.  It was sooo freaky for both of us b/c we're slightly afraid of heights.  I kept thinking we'd plunge to our watery graves in the lake below.  We both literally grasped the cage for dear life...I could feel my hands losing blood and turning white haha!  And we were in the stationary gondola too! I've only been on the swinging gondola once--NEVER AGAIN.  That thing is just plain terrifying. >.<

On Wednesday, Nhakhanh came over and we drove to Mitsuwa to buy some ingredients to make vegan sushi.  While I was hunting for parking, I saw ハラグチ先生 putting her groceries in her car and getting ready to leave!  I wanted to jump out and say hi but couldn't... =(

The market was featuring strawberry delicacies at the time so I decided to buy these strawberry Kit Kat bars:

They turned out okay...a bit too sweet for me.

When we both returned to my house, we attempted to make sushi with white rice, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, and avocado.  It was our first time trying to assemble everything together and things didn't turn out as successfully as we hoped...when we tried slicing the sushi roll into pieces, the whole roll just became unstable and loose.  We concluded it was because we didn't use the right kind of rice and also because we didn't use enough rice to keep the sushi sticky.  Sorry guys, I didn't take any pictures of our rejected sushi haha!  Although it wasn't visually appealing, it was still delicious. おいしい!

The next day, Nhakhanh and I were off to Disneyland!  Yay more Disney fun ^_^ 

It was pretty hot that day so we decided to head off to munch on some ice cream over at Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor. 

We shared a strawberry sundae.  That thing was huge!  I don't know how one person can finish it all...

Since taking silly pictures is what we do best, we decided to take one in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle.

In the end, we both felt embarassed and silly asking someone to take a picture of us when we're doing silly poses.  The poor Asian fellow who took our picture seemed confused at first but later realized we were trying to mimick the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey behind us haha.  *sigh* We are strange crazy heads.   Also, everytime I see that woman sitting there eating on the right, I burst out laughing.  She must've thought we were strange too.  ^^;;

To end my spring break, I hung out with Tati and we took purikura at Sticki Picki.  These two are my favorites:

Don't you love Tati the Pharaoh?

Later that night, we skyped with Nhakhanh till midnight.  I've never used Skype before so it was very entertaining!  The only down-side is it lagged.  A lot.  What's the other popular video chat people use nowadays?  ooVoo or something? I'm so out of the loop with technology nowadays.

So yes, this was an incredibly long post...hope you all didn't fall asleep reading! I need to catch up on some sleep myself but I have a feeling it's going to be another long troubling night for me.  All the drama that happened yesterday in my neighborhood still lingers in my head and I no longer feel comfortable wandering outside without someone ridiculing or judging me.  My head keeps aching everytime I think about it and my heart feels like it's going to fail soon from all the stress.  *sigh*  But I'm trying to remain strong.  私がんばります!
