I've been really slackin' on these entries ... but f*ck it, J moves when he wants to move ... I've also been away on my much anticipated Los Angeles/San Diego Trip and as follows is a recap ...
-last Friday: long a** flight ... stayed at the Hacienda Hotel in El Segundo ... for dinner, Carl's Jr., man that didn't sit too well with my stomach ...
-last Saturday: my sis M&M and Romeo picked me up and I got a look at their new BMW ... ate at Roscoe's Chicken n Waffles that night ... then made the trek back to their place in San Diego
-Sunday: got acquainted with the newest addition to mi familia, Mr. Mason, their dog ... ate out again, this time at Phil's BBQ ... bar none, the best BBQ chicken and ribs I've ever had ...
-Monday: my sis toured me around the shopping places in her area ... then after Romeo came home from work, we drove to an outlet mall next to the U.S./Mexico border ... I was looking around for a car with a Mexican license plate, because I've never seen one before, when I finally did, the owner came up to the car at the same time ... it was a female and she had a concerned look on her face, like I was immigration or something, LOL ... chatted up with a couple of Chicano boxing fans at the Nike Store, they said they were rooting for Cotto, but they know Pacquiao's gonna win, I guess real recognizes real, just refreshing to talk to some real fans ... for dinner, we went to a mall in "Filipino Town" and had what else, Jollibee ...
-Tuesday: my sis and myself took the trolley (the equivalent to our RT) into downtown, where I got to see The Padres' Petco Park ... afterwards, we hit up another mall, but that was it for downtown, which in my opinion is pretty dead ...
-Wednesday: got a firsthand preview of the site where my sis will be getting married next July ... envisioning it at this point, I honestly think it's gonna be great, I'm really looking forward to it ... afterwards, we hit up Mission Beach ...
-Thursday: my last day, I kept it open ... I decided to take it easy that day, considering I was on vacation, just spent time packing and playing with Mr. Mason ... concluded the night with dinner from this authentic Mexican place and watched my boy Dwyane Wade completely crown Anderson Varejao ...
Overall, I really enjoyed this trip ... completely made me forget that I have a life and responsibilities at home ... things I will miss most, besides my familia obviously: the prices (my brands Jordan and ecko are waaaaay cheaper down there), the food, TV Channels (esp. ESPN where the real sports take center stage), the workout weather (got in a run every day, but one) and my new little dude Mr. Mason ... coming home really confirmed that Toronto is not the place I want to be ...
