its about time!

alas..i made up my mind!i actually made a decision where we are staying..yes people..I'm going with somebody.but calm down..its not with a guy which some of u probably assumed already after reading the latter sentence. at first i was hesitant to bring somebody with me for my vacation. im too independent that's what i think. sometimes i don't even want people around me..lolz...but i guess its good to have company once in a while..lolz..i decided to make use of my vacation days before the summer ends.i mean i have 5 left for the year. i used the other 5 when i went snowboarding this past February at Vermont..then the rest was when the doctors were on vacation or just wasn't in that day. that's another thing, i cant take a decent vacation .. i feel like i could only take off when the doctors are not in the office and it sucks coz i feel like i have to work around their schedule. but for the past few days i really could care less. i really need a break..a LONG one!

so who is this mystery person...her name is karen.i went to hs with her and i believe im ahead of her 2 years.i was a senior ,she was a sophmore. so in short she was my schoolmate.i couldn't really remember her at first when she added me in friendster.i actually thought she was one of my crush's ex gf..(which she's not)..i guess she was just one of those really shy and timid girls..(di ko lang alam ngaun ..hehehhe)..so i was thinking who i could bring that will be available and would also like the beach scene. i actually just tried my luck with her and what do u know...

we've been planning this for like 2 weeks now.first problemo..WHERE?i really wanted to go to Hawaii but i guess it was a short notice for her plus its too far..well not for her coz she's staying in Nebraska now..i mean its still far but compared to me...forget about it.plus its expensive. so next ..puerto Rico..but then its august and puerto rico is in the hurricane belt so that's done and over with. next..California..there's beaches over there plus I've been craving for jollibee(thats the only jollibee in the US) and i heard there's also red ribbon.plus i get to visit my hommies ova there.also i wanted to go to Los Angeles and hopefully meet somebody famous.but California is a big state and requires alot of driving..and I'm not one of those drivers that love to drive..u know..even if your lost already u still love the challenge of finding that place?..I'm not one of 'em.i only drive to places where i am familiar with..or if I'm with somebody that's familiar with the place and could guide me.but it would be her first time as well so that plan went to the trash.next was Vegas..see the infamous Vegas strip, Elvis impersonators, entertainment shows, and the party scene. i would probably do it some other time..but i don't think i will be able to relax in a city like Vegas. so Florida it is..

i finally booked my flight last night..online..thank God i got the last ticket coz its round about the same time that karen will be in MIA(miami intl airport) and its just perfect for checking in the hotel.this is actually the first time ima be travelling within the US by plane so I'm pretty psyched about that.I've been all over the east coast and Canada ..by car..yes..long driving ito..the last time i was in Florida was back in 2002. this is actually my 3rd time in Florida.but this time i wont be visiting relatives, i wont be there with family, and i wont be going to Disney world and universal studios.LOL. this time ima be in the heart of Miami beach..and 20mins from southbeach. i also just booked the hotel like an hour ago.we're staying in Miami beach resort and spa.(click on the title of this post to see where we are staying).its 5 days 4 nights.private access to the beach..water activities, and i got the bed and breakfast package. its so funny coz when i called the hotel i was just going to inquire coz at that time i still haven't figured out where to stay..(eventhough ive been searching for 3 days non stop..sleeping at 130am) i mean we could stay in the heart of southbeach but i just wanted to be away from the busy streets and be in a peaceful, calm environment. and maybe because there's a lot of places to stay and pick from. as i was asking the receptionist about the hotel i might as well book it..coz i will just never stop looking for hotels..i guess what really freaked me out was when i was reading the reviews about the hotel online...some people gave it a 2 thumbs up and some weren't so fond of the place..so i told the lady that i was speaking with to give me a room that's newly renovated and not one of those beat up old rooms.

finally its all set..i cant wait!
