Illusive MIA, updates on her whereabouts [AKA adventure in SoCal!]

Hehe, I've been so busy the past few months that I've completely abandonned my poor (viewerless) blog. Oh no! In hopes I can really make this place something special to me, I am continuing to make attempts to bring it back to life. *cue resuscitation*

So, what exactly have I been up to? (I mean, I don't care if you're wondering or if there is anyone even wondering, I'm about to tell you why anyway) I had the chance of spending time with my boyfriend in SoCal a few weeks back during my Spring Break and I've been pretty much strung out about the fact, since. And yes, for those who don't know, I am in a long distance relationship; my boyfriend is in SoCal while I'm in Vancouver which is about a 3 hour flight, and yes, it can be difficult!

As a sort of late Valentine gift to me, my boyfriend bought me plane tickets and then continue to go on forward to spoil the shit out of me, taking me out to eat nearly every single day. Something I'd like to mention is the weather-- As a Vancouver citizen (Vancouver isn't even THAT cold, mind you), I nearly had heatstrokes. Holy shit, it was incredibly hot and it wasn't even Summer yet.. Anyway,we didn't go to all the typical LA tourist attractions like Hollywood, Disneyland, Universal Studios, etc., but we managed to visit some places like Santa Monica, the South Coast Plaza, and lots of random places here and there (And restaurants, like, lots of them). Since I was only there for approximately 10 days, we tried to fit as many places in our schedule as possible but I also wanted to spend some time with him just at home to watch movies so we had about 2 days of that ;-; To be honest, talking about it may not sound super exciting but it really was something huge for me considering I've never really travelled on my own and I got the chance to spend time with my super sweet boyfriend.

Something that actually really surprised me was the fact that I wasn't even the slightest bit homesick but I suppose 10 days isn't long enough for it to kick in. However, I have to admit I was pretty teary eyed upon leaving California and missed it the moment I boarded my plane. My boyfriend actually went on to book my next flight back to LA about a week after I came back because according to him, knowing the date I'm coming makes him feels better even if my next trip is about 3 months from now, haha.

Other than my lovely trip, I've of course been busy with school. Actually, today was sort of my final day of classes, hence why I felt like I have the time to do some blogging hehe. So, after this week, I'm going to start my internship program which runs for approximately 2 months. I have applied to work for an enterntainment company that does event planning, carnival games, and various themed events; they're even a part of a pretty big night market here which I thought was pretty cool. My tasks with them involves working as a junior web developer which I'm pretty stoked about.

Anyway, I'll let you go for now, this was quite a mouthful of a post since I haven't updated in so long so I hope I'll be able to keep it more short and sweet with the upcomming posts!

Update: To do as I finally wish!

I don't know what I've been so afraid of all this time, I kept trying to bottle everything up and restricted myself from everything I've ever wanted to be bound to. As of late, I've made lots of crazy decisions the old self wouldn't have even thought of! I realize I'm sounding kind of crazy but I'm so incredibly happy in this moment, even if it meant I had some slip ups in the past and might have put someone else's happiness on the line for my own. I realize it may be incredibly selfish of myself to have let certain things happen in the past and for that, I'm genuinely sorry. However, I honestly believe everything will be fine. Anyway! Sorry for that random confusing rant. I just kind of wanted to get that off of my chest. As I said before, I've made some decisions this month; it may not be "crazy" for others but they are for me. Hehe.

I finally made my mind up and I'll be in California this Spring, which is something I'm super incredibly happy about, I'm like bouncing off the walls as I type this! I don't know how I'll be able to last until then, to be honest. I just know that I'll be full of love and well, amazing food too. I haven't really gotten the chance to really travel, especially on my own so this is also kind of nervewrecking for me as well. Oh my god, what to do, what to do. I guess it's time to do some research on Google. I'll probably update you guys with how I prep for things like this in the future haha.
