LA

Im leaving to LA today. Im kinda lazy cause its such along drive and I be getting bored and stuff. Its just gonna be me and Andres in the car so its gonna be akaward. Laast time we went to LA it was hella fun. We all went to Universal Studios. That was around the time that Andres got along with my whole family and my sister was still with her dude. It was fun though. This time its just me and him. Its kinda funny cause we're only going for a sweet 15. My mom keeps telling me that we should have left for more days so that we could other things but he has to come back to work and I have my exhibition night on Monday and my graduation on Tuesday. So we gotta come back Sunday night, for sure. So yea, Im exited to get there but I the drive over is gonna be hard. But we taking his Escalade so I'll have more than enough room to go to the back and lay down.
I'll be gone for a while so see you all on Monday!

Alameda

Yesterday we went to Alameda and I felt a lot more comfortable there. I have been visiting Alameda all my life. Especially when I was younger, we would go to the beach with my family alot. The street that we were actually walking on is actually the main street that I go to. We usually go there because I have a friend that works at a Crepe shop and my sister has shows at a near by club/bar, Roosters.

Its not exactly like Oakland, you see alot more white people there, but its not all that different. The shops there arent too expensive but alot of people said that it was a pretty safe environment to be in and its only a couple miles away. Just a quick drive across the bridge.

I like going to Alameda because just in that one main street you can find just about anything. Theres coffee shops, book shops, clothing stores, shoes stores, nail shops, ice cream shops, comic book store, karate school, antique shops, different restaurants, and so much more. Then if you take the bus or drive for a couple minutes you can get to South Shore where all the stores are at. Petco, Mervyns, Walgreens, Trader Joe's are all on the same shopping center.

We also went to the Alameda beach. I used to go there alot when I was little but I hadn't gone there in hella long. I never learned how to swin and I've never really liked to get in the water so I didnt even get close to the water. It was nice to just sit there for a little while and just think to myself.
