LAS VEGAS


First thing we did in Las Vegas was eat. Where? Carnival World Buffet. The longest buffet in Las Vegas or maybe all over the world. The place is so big that a station won't be crowded no matter how many people there are. So almost everything in Las Vegas is replicated from the Eiffel of Paris to the famous pyramids of Egypt!


     I was really excited going to Las Vegas since the last "Hangover movie" happened here. We were only here for a day and haven't really explored deeper in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is really a place for adults. Everywhere I look, I see pictures. You know what pictures I mean. Small cards with pictures on the floor, huge billboards, and even pictures that are advertised on the cars. I don't know where to look and we just laugh at it. I was even surprised that there was this guy that was preaching at the side. People just passed him and even laugh. But wow.. He still continues doing it. Well.. I actually enjoyed Vegas after what I have just said. We had the chance to watch the Bellagio Fountains. We just can't miss it. Walking around Vegas during night time was fun because the lights are amazing. I just hope that we'll come back here... when we're already old enough. 

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA



This is my last post about California. So our last destination in California was San Diego.Our first destination in California was SeaWorld. I was really happy when I knew there are Turkey Legs in the park. Yay!

SeaWorld is opened with dolphin and sea lion exhibits but what's different with SeaWorld from other SeaWorld is its Orca or killer whale, Shamu. We sat at the the splash zone because getting splashed with water with killer whales will be fun. After a few minutes of the show we were soaking with water but I wasn't disappointed. 




















I'm also happy that the animals here look healthy that they are looked after well by the staffs. There aren't many rides in the park but I came here for the animals and not for the rides. I learned a lot of stuffs from the educational exhibits. The staffs are friendly and when you ask something they know everything. If you haven't noticed, me and my other sister are taking a picture with a live animal while my other sister is taking a picture with a stuffed toy polar bear.


HOLLYWOOD: OBLIVION PREMIERE




 THE TIME HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!! I was so close to them but too bad I wasn't able to take a picture with them. Tom Cruise was the first one who arrived so he went inside ahead. While Morgan was being interviewed outside, I went inside the Dolby theater and waited for something exciting to happen. So while waiting, I saw Morgan walking fast towards the door to go inside the cinema where there were only small people around him because like I said, he was walking fast. I ran fast to him with my camera hoping that I can get a picture with him but no.. I wasn't able to take a picture with him BUT! I WAS ABLE TO SHOOK HIS HAND before he went inside. The Morgan Freeman. I could have gave the camera to my dad while running or videoed the whole thing but I was so excited that I just ran towards him. I'm just thankful for how lucky I am. I ain't even mad that we haven't took a picture with the Hollywood sign.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA


Does that ferris wheel look familiar? If you're a fan of Hannah Montana or if you've ever watched her movie "Hannah Montana: The Movie" you'll know that this is where the first scene of the movie took place. This is the popular Santa Monica Pier and it is the favorite among television and movie producers. The restaurants are great and there are also tons of vending machines.The pier has a park and you can ride rides on planks over the water. The rides are a bit pricey but totally worth it.


Santa Monica Pier is a good place to relax and take long walks. This is also a great place to go and hangout with your friends, your family, your friend's family and your friend's family friend. There are tons of artists painting on glass and people singing at the sides of the pier. If you want to relax alone you can stay at the end of the pier and fish.

Our trip to Hollywood turned out different from what we expected. Like reaaallly different. I was thinking about going to the Hollywood sign, meeting or taking pictures of and with celebrities and more shopping before Hollywood but what turned out is that there was a premiere of Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman! At least I got right at the thought of taking pictures of celebrities. Plus we didn't even know there was a premiere. PERFECT TIMING!


While waiting we were waiting for the celebrities to arrive we just roamed around the place. When I say place, I mean we never go far and we just literally walk around the shops beside the road (where the premiere is held) We've never been to Hollywood before and know I know that people who cosplays like heroes or any characters (that doesn't even look like them) will just come to you, grab your shoulders and tell you to take a picture with them. After the taking of pictures, the cosplayers will just ask for money because you took a picture with him. So next time we'll go here, we know what to do. 




CARLSBUD, CALIFORNIA


Next stop in California was Flower field in Carlsbud. It is fifty acres of colorful flowers overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The fifty acres of flowers that make up The Flower Fields blooms six to eight weeks a year. So around early March through early May. The different colorful flowers brings the fields back to life! 



It was really hot that time but I just didn't mind the heat because of the stunning view. There are a few activities like the maze and where you pick pail of sand full of stones then your stones will tell who you are. It's pretty hard to explain but it was fun and we tried it over three times.
