Time to Say Goodbye :(

Hi everyone, I hope your weekend is going well. Mine isn't that good :(

I had to send my family off to the airport this afternoon. I wish they could stay here longer, I didn't even realize it has been 3 weeks already. Time was passing really fast when you are having good time. No one can understand the feeling of being apart for 10000 miles :'(

My apartment became so quiet and empty after they left. Now I have to go back to my work and being alone in my apartment. I couldn't stop crying thinking of them. Daddy mommy and sista I love you <3

When Dream Comes True: Disney World Orlando

Hi everyone! Have you been to Disneyland or Disney World? What's your favorite character?

I always wanted to go to Disneyland when I was young but I didn't have the chance. The first time I went to Disneyland was when I was 7th grade. My mom brought my sis and me to Japan and of course, we visited Disneyland in Tokyo. That was my first visit to Disney and I told myself I will visit all the Disneys around the world one day. Then I visited Disneyland in Hong Kong back in 2006. It was the smallest Disney in the world. In 2010, I came to the states and I visited Disney World Orlando with my friends.

This time I got to go with my family! I always thought going to Disney is a family thing. And that's how to dream came true! My sister and I was very excited to go.

On the 4th day in Orlando, we went to Disney Magic Kingdom. It was very crowded as summer break already started. There was a long wait for all the rides and taking pictures with the characters. We went to Epcot on the 5th day and damn it was really hot but we had lots of fun in Disney!

Universal Studio and Island of Adventure featuring World of Wizarding Harry Potter

Happy Friday! Do you have any plan on the weekend? I'm exhausted from the 2 weeks trip to the east coast and gonna take a long long break before I go back to work.

We flew to Orlando, Florida from NYC and stayed 5 days there. Got to Orlando pretty late so we went straight to hotel to have good rest for the next day. We went to Universal Studio on the 2nd day. My first Universal Studio visit was in Osaka, Japan. I wanna go to all the Universal Studio all over the world! Planning to go to the LA one in this winter, trying to get out from the mid west winter, hah!

We then went to Universal Island of Adventure on the 3rd day. We actually wanted to go to the Harry Potter world only :P Harry Potter world was amazing, it felt like I'm in the movie lol. We had 4 cups of butterbeer. I love butterbeer, yummmm. I wish I had one right now. We did most of the fun rides and had so much fun in both parks!

With mommy!

Summer Break: NY and DC Trip!

Happy Sunday everyone!

So I went on a graduation trip to the east coast with my family. IT was their first time here so we were all excited for the trip. We departed a day after my commencement and flew to Buffalo, New York to see the world famous Niagara Falls. We went to the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. The view was stunning. It was very cold when we went and everyone was freezing because we thought it would be warmer :( We enjoyed the trip except for the bad hotel front desk service.

After a 3D2N stay at Niagara Falls, we took a plane to Washington DC. The first time I came I visited many museums and it took up a lot of time so this time I'm gonna go see the beautiful buildings in DC. We had the chance to stay in brownstone apartment in Columbia Height, DC. The apartment was beautiful and clean. We bought the Big Bus tour so we can tour around DC and it came with the ticket to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. What a deal! We had a very pleasant stay in DC.

Now the fun part! NYC yay!! This was my second visit to NYC and I will never get bored to this city that never sleep. There are tons of good restaurants and stores. We took the bus up to NYC from DC. Our stay wasn't that pleasant this time. We stayed in a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn, in some ghetto neighborhood. Have you ever seen a gated counter in KFC? Yeah, they have the gated counter in this neighborhood, that's sketchy! Other than the unpleasant stay, everything else was good. We did a lot of shopping at Times Square. We also went to Woodbury Premium Outlet Mall and my family went crazy shopping there lol. We also watched the longest running broadway show The Phantom of the Opera. It was still amazing even though it was my second time watching. Statue of Liberty was closed due to the damage from hurricane Sandy so we didn't get to visit. We can still kind of see the statue at Battery Park. We visited a lot of places and it was pouring the dat we were gonna go to Central Park so we had to cancel it. We had so much fun in NYC, will definitely revisit!

Class of 2013 Commencement: The End of 4 Years

Happy Saturday everyone! 

GUESS WHAT?!?!

I'm officially graduated as a boilermaker! My commencement was yesterday and we went around the school to take some pictures, okay, tons of pictures! 

Finally my 4 years of college has came to the end. I can't believe I have came this far. I wanna thank my family for coming to my commencement all the way from home. I know the 20 hours plane ride wasn't easy. Thank you for all the supports, mentally and financially. I wouldn't be able to study abroad and finish my degree without you guys. I will always be thankful for what I get from my fam. After all these years, I'm here, becoming a better me. I will always strive and one day I hope I make you proud.
