DAY 1 - Depart from LA to San Fran
My day didn't start well coz I woke up late and I missed my plane. Good thing there's a 10am flight to San Jose and there are still seats available. It was sooo stressful, I never missed a plane ever. But it's all good, atleast I was able to relax for 2 hours and listen to my iPod. I arrived at around 11:30 and my mom and cousins were waiting for me. I gave Bea my birthday gift for her... it's the Chronicles of Narnya compiled in one book. It's her request and I dunno if she'll be able to read that thick book =P I slept at the van coz I didn't get enough sleep. I woke up when it's time to eat lunch at some park in Sacramento (our first stop). We had adobo, fried shrimp, egg and rice that my aunt cooked. It's a 4 hour drive from San Fran to Lake Tahoe and all I did is sleep.. Justin actually counted the number of times I slept.. coz I wake up if they need to fill up gas, a restroom break or eat. When we reached Lake Tahoe, we had to put tire chains coz it's snowing. We reached our hotel at 5ish and had dinner at Applebee's. Their food is delicious!!! I've been wanting to eat at Applebee's but there's no resto in LA. The nearest would be Simi Valley.

DAY 2 - Snowboard, Gamble and Winter games
I got off the bed at 8ish and as usual, I'm the last person to wake up. I put on my snowboard gears and we headed to McDonalds for some breakfast. The last time I went snowboarding was 2 years ago, but I still remember the basics and that I'm a "goffy".. Goofy footed is when the rider's natural preference is to ride with the right foot in front. Bea is a skier so she has her own thing going on. We had 6 rides and when it's getting crowded, we decided to call it a day. Fresh snow from last night.. Love it!!! We had dinner at KFC then we headed to Carson City, Nevada to gamble. It's just a few blocks from Tahoe.. but I'm not in a gambling mood so I just stayed with the kids. We watched the Winter Olypmics game at the hotel and we're all rooting for Apolo Ohno, who is really cute. He won bronze at speed skating though. But it's alright, he's still cute =P

DAY 3 - Home Sweet Home
We left the hotel at 8ish, had brunch on our way to Foster City then we watched "Gulong ng Palad". This is my new guilty pleasure. I dunno, maybe because "Carding" is really cute and he's madly inlove to "Luisa". See, I even know the name of the characters. They tivo'd the episode last Friday so we're able to watch it before they drop me off the airport. We left Foster City at 130pm and arrived at 2ish. This time I was early... but the security officer is really rude.
