Weekend trip to Los Angeles, California

I left for LA with my friend Ann on Saturday and came back on the megabus on Monday. I had a really good time eating and going to places that I've wanted to visit in LA. Can't wait to visit again!

We got to LA around 4:30 and got to the beach just in time for the sunset







Shabu shabu at Boiling Point

Waited to eat at Boiling Point for 1.5 hrs, but it was really good

We bought a groupon for paddle boarding Sunday morning and had a good workout! 
Good thing we didn't drop our phones in the water!




At Lemonade for lunch! The guava limeade was good!

LACMA, the ultimate photography spot

The spot that Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman met for their date in No Strings Attached!



You can't take pictures in some parts of the LACMA, I got in trouble for this one. The man was practically yelling at me and then went on to give me a lecture about young people being on their phones all the time.

Ann's been to the LACMA a million times, so she made sure to take lots of tourist pictures of me!

Griffith Observatory


We got to Griffith just in time for our second sunset of the weekend. Ann chases sunsets all the time, haha.



Lastly, we ate at a Korean BBQ place called Road to Seoul

Then we met up with Ann's roommates and went to karaoke. I'm glad I finally got to visit Ann in LA and she was the best tour guide! Meeting her roommates was also very fun. California is very different all around, I love it! I was asking Ann if she had seen anyone famous in LA and then at Lacma we saw Max Greenfield (Schmidt from New Girl) with his daughter, haha!

Also, I really like the Megabus a lot better than Greyhound.

Pictures are from my Rebel T5i, my iphone 4 and Ann's iphone 5c.

Photog Trip to SF

My friend Cindy is a design major and is very talented in photography. She and a friend were going to meet to take pictures around San Francisco together, Cindy invited me so I tagged along.
UHH, can I just say that I'm the most awkward person in the world. Cindy's friend probs thought I was a major freak.
But, it was a great experience because we got to go around SF taking pictures. Both girls are super artsy and have really good eyes for photography. Me being the very unartistic person, learned a lot from this photography trip and it was fun playing around with my camera.

Here are some of the pictures I took: (p.s. don't judge me)

At Fort Point, right under the Golden Gate Bridge


This is Lana, she was super nice and it was nice meeting her! Her instagram is lanachoi. Fun fact, Lana and Cindy met through instagram! Thanks for taking us around today Lana!

HEHE, never complete without a picture of myself.

As we were going up to Coit Tower, too bad it is closed until the spring :( You're calves get a good workout going up all those steps!

The fog bridge at the Exploratorium is awesome! Pic credits to Cindy!


Just thought this was cool. It's ocean water and sand from Delta Beach, if you turn the wheel the sand creates beautiful spirals. (next to the exploratorium)

Both Cindy and Lana are really cool people, I'm such a loser I didn't know what to do with myself but I had a good time! HAHA!

San Francisco is my favorite. It never gets old. There is always somewhere new to go and even when you go to a place you've already been, it's a whole new experience. I love SF!
I think it would be awesome to live there for a year.

As for the pictures I took today, I actually don't really like any of them. I think I just need to practice more to get better. This experience will only help me get better in the future.

The weather was beautiful today, I wish it was foggy like sf is known for. Is this the hottest winter we've had in California or what?
