C.B. BLOG SERIES//DAY 3

---

Ah, I'm a little behind for this blog series. To prevent confusion, I'm blogging for yesterday. 

 

So yesterday, I painted my nails a pistachio color. What do you think?



I've been craving the cookies 'n' crème drops from Hershey's. It's so good!

 

 Later on, my family and I went to my grandma's house to eat dinner. Then, we went to Harkins to watch The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies. In my opinion, I thought it was an "okay" movie, but considering that I'm really critical when it comes to movies, others probably thought it was really good. You should go watch it!

TTYS,

Mel

A TRIP TO THE BAY AREA

Pebble Beach (above)



How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you stuffed yourselves with delicious home-cooked meals!

For Thanksgiving, my family and I took a trip to Pebble Beach in Monterey, then we headed up north to visit my distant relatives. I absolutely loved the breezy, chilly weather in San Fran. We stayed at a hotel for 2 days then returned home after an exhausting 7-hour drive back.

 

Anyways, I could say my Thanksgiving break was well-spent with my wonderful family. Now that school has started again, I am putting this blog on hold (maybe until the weekend). In the meantime, I'll talk to you guys soon!

A Note + First Time taking the Metrolink

---

So first of all, I want all of you guys (and girls) to know that this blog is basically a JOURNAL ABOUT MY LIFE. Please don't take this blog seriously! This is just to let you guys get an inside scoop on my life adventures (not really).

SO ANYWAYS, the title says it all. Yesterday, I spent the day with the fam bam. We took the Metrolink from Fullerton to San Juan Capistrano. SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. I had no idea why we went to SJC cause there was literally nothing to do; we ended up taking a bus to Dana Point, where we walked the pier and watched surfers.. well, surf. So after that, we ate at a delicious café, and took a bus back to the Metrolink station. Overall, super duper FUN day and I took a bunch of pics. HOPE YOU ENJOY MY ADVENTURE AT SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. :)


I believe it was Dana Point beach? LOL

the café we ate at after walking the pier



Find some time for your family! This was a super refreshing, stress-reliever trip, and I'm so glad I got to spend it with my family because it's been a while since we had time together. Appreciate every little moment together and cherish it. Anyways, enough of my deep philosophies (jk). I'll talk to you guys (and girls) later!

Vincenzo's Terrazza

---

Today, I decided to try an Italian restaurant called Vincenzo's Terrazza. Just a heads-up, the outside of the restaurant is NOTHING compared to the inside. Everything on the inside is so fancy and Italian-themed, but the outside is just plain dull; you wouldn't give a thought about going in. However, the service was extremely satisfying, and the food was #onpointe. No kidding. IT'S THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN TO. And to prove my point, here's a pic:

OMG. just looking at this makes me drool.

 Isn't this the cutest, most romantic setting ever? just kidding, but still! 

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO PAY THIS RESTAURANT A VISIT. They have very good reviews on Yelp!,and I guarantee you'll want to come back again! Anyways, that's it for now. I'll talk to you guys soon!

Let's Runaway to U.S.

---

So this past week was the start of summer school and I tried really hard to convince myself that 6 weeks wasn’t so bad. But sitting in a classroom for 6 hours from Monday to Thursday was already a pain in the arse (sometimes I like to pretend I’m British). Fortunately, I don’t have school on Fridays, so I took this advantage as a getaway to Universal Studios.

My mom, sister, her friend, and my cousin also went with me.
Below are some pics that I took.


 

Despite the fact that I was sick and woke up at 7:00 a.m. on Friday and came back home at 8:00 p.m., I was surprised by how energetic I was. I got to go on the new Despicable Me 4-D ride, including the Transformers 4-D ride and both were so realistic and plain awesome. I went on the Mummy ride two times just cause it was so exhilarating.

So this pretty much wraps things up! Hope you guys enjoyed this post and are enjoying your summer, unlike someone over here. Haha. just kidding. But seriously, take summer as an advantage to try new things, travel to different places, and just have fun while you still can!

Talk to you soon,
- Melanie
