well, i spent the weekend with my crazy cousins. and i can honestly say, i have never laughed so hard in my life. it wasn't just like hysterical laughing for a few minutes. we're talking a good 45 minutes of non-stop laughter.....and i haven't laughed since. haha. did you ever see that episode of south park where cartman sees the buttface people and then loses his sense of humor because the sight was beyond hysterical?
no? well that's too bad.
palo seco got pushed back, YET AGAIN, so hopefully we leave tomorrow. which sucks because we're getting hit with part of the hurricane in the caribbean right now, so the entire place is flooded.
can't wait to go home, merely because of the fact that i am gonna have myself a gooood tiiiimmeee....just wait and see....
no song of the day for the first time in a million years
Until next time

Costa Rica: Day 14
mother's day was a blast. we went up to my aunt gloria's house that overlooks the whole city and i pretty much laughed my butt off the entire time with my three crazy cousins. around 7 though, my cousin, amanda, got a text message that said they were evacuating the entire coast because of a tsunami warning.
i didn't think much of it because i thought it was a joke, but the next day i turned on the tv and they had footage of people GOING CRAZY all along the coast. i mean, it was like, armageddon x 10.
thankully though, they cancelled the tsunami warning. so tonight amanda's picking me up and we're going back up to her house again. but first we're going out to a bar or something i think. it's called ¨¨ El Espaghetti¨¨ haha. and they don't check ID's which is good because last time i asked for a smirnoff and they didn't give it to me.
anyways, sunday we leave for palo seco to visit my grandpa. we're staying for like 4 days. and i get to see minor cause he's staying there right now.....whoopee........ hahah. that should be interesting.

Costa Rica: Day 11
ahem. well. a lot has happened in the past week. let me fill you in!
7 days ago we left for Arenal Volcano. It rained REALLY REALLY hard the entire way there, which is like a 3 hour drive. and then when we were driving up the mountain to get to the hotel, it stopped all of a sudden. and when we finally parked, i saw the most beautiful sunset i've ever seen in my life. and that the place we stayed was the prettiest place i have ever seen in my life. let me try and describe it:
the hotel is on a mountain top, it's right in front of the volcano and the lagoon. so if you're looking north, the volcano is northeast and the lagoon is northwest. and the coolest thing is, the volcano is constantly active. you can kinda see the lava coming down during the day, but at night you see it better because it's dark. and our hotel room happened to be facing the volcano so i fell asleep watching the red hot lava coming down the mountain.
then the next day i did the canopy tour....honestly, the best experience of my life. and the pain afterwards was definitely worth it. so the tour was three hours long. the first 20 minutes you ride horseback up the mountain, then you get to the stables, get geared up and it's a 15 minute hike to the first platform. then they connect you to the zipline, and off you go.
it's hard to describe but you really do feel like a bird.... with a harness strapped around your crotch haha. so it's 9 different platforms, the longest one is a quarter of a mile long, and the fastest one goes atleast 45 miles per hour. and you can see allll the animals and the entire forest when you zip by. definitely not the last time i'm doing that.
we left the day after and the following day, friday, i went to moritz's house and stayed for the weekend. it was fun for the most part. we went to this bar and played pool for a while with moritz, silvia, johnathan, christian, and el júpon. haha goood times.
and i got back home yesterday and sat around all of today for some much needed rest. it's mother's day tomorrow here in costa so we're all going up to my aunt gloria's house and celebrating it there. she has the coolest house with the sickest view of all of san jose. i want to spend the night, we'll see. then sunday i'm leaving for palo seco to go see my grandpa and spend a few days at the beach house. so far, this has been THE BEST costa rica vacation i've had. even better than last year...haha (sarcasm)GO FIGURE!! (/sarcasm)
but of course, i'm counting the days till i get back. as much fun as this is, i miss my toad and my misster haha. a beach day is definitely required when i get back. anywho, i'm off to watch some tv.

Costa Rica: Day 4
We're leaving tomorrow for a week and i don't know if i'll have time, or access, to write, so i figured i'd do it right now.
We're staying at Volcan Arenal tomorrow, maybe do some horseback riding and canopy tour, and then we have to take the ferry of death to Montezuma and we're staying at the Dolphin Hotel. after that, it's off to my grandpa's beach house for a few days and then it's back here to Pavas.
As exciting as this sounds, drama just seems to follow me wherever i go. and WE ALL KNOW which one i'm talking about. so for the fucking federal case that awaits me when i get home, i plead the 5th. in case you don't know what that means, i had nothing to do with it.

Costa Rica: Day 1
well, technically it´s day 2, but whatever. gosh, where to begin?
well let´s start with yesterday. we flew out of john wayne, landed in dallas, then flew from dallas to san jose. i gotta say, i´ve never been as scared to fly as i was yesterday. i think i had a mini panic attack. i don´t know why, but for some reason i was convinced that the plane was going to crash. i just knew it. but thank god i was wrong.
we finally got to san jose and i was greeted by that familiar scent. it just smells like costa rica. i can´t describe it, it´s something you have to smell for yourself. haha. customs were a bitch so we didn´t get out of the airport till an hour after we landed.
my grandparents, aunt and uncle picked us up and it was off to my grandparents´ house. i went to sleep at about 2 a.m. and thought there was a burglar in the house. i flipped my shit.
anyways, woke up today, had breakfast, took a shower, and went to my aunt alicia´s house. it freaking poured today, as it always does, and i was sooo excited to finally see some rain. i hung out with silvia and moritz and some of his friends came over and we played poker with our good friend smirnoff haaaaa.
and that´s pretty much it. i´m SO GLAD to be back with my family, but i miss home a lot, especially chris and casey. and andrew of course. sorry this entry wasn´t too exciting, but we´re just kinda getting settled in right now. the next few entries will be better, i promise.

when i was 17
god, i haven't been this drained in A LONG TIME. today, was seriously the best day of the whole summer. this is exactly what i had hoped for when school got out.
so i must say of course that it was toad's birthday today. (AW) haha. and she invited chris and i to go to her friends beach house....yeah....
pretty much? THE MOST AMAZING HOUSE I'VE EVER SEEN. it's even better than jill's! haha. well i guess ocean front property always is. the house is right on a cliff, and it's huge. plus, it has the best hot tub i've ever been in. so casey randomly called around noon and told us to come over. we got there at like, 2 i think, and it was straight in the water.
we pretty much stayed at the beach until the sun went down. and can i just say there are some hotty hots in laguna? haha. anyways, i, amazingly got in for a while. the water was pretty warm. and a seal almost ate chris and casey. HA. i got sunburnt like no other though. and i'm dead from climbing all those stairs.
anywho, we climbed in the jacuzzi for a while after. UUHHHHUHUH. it was sooooo good. highlight of the day for me. after we got out we crashed on the sofas and started to watch never been kissed but we couldn't finish.
all in all, today was awesome. and i'm glad because it's one of the last times we'll be together for awhile. why's that?
WELL. i'm leaving for costa on friday for a month pretty much. and chris might be too busy with school to hang out. gosh, it's so weird to think i won't see chris everyday at school. i was thinking about that the other day, and i was like, wait. chris doesn't go to foothill anymore! but i still have casey so.....i guess that'll do. HAHAAA
so yeah, needless to say, i'm gonna miss my toad and my misster A LOT. what am i gonna do without them? what are they gonna do without ME? hahaha.
so tomorrow i have to pack in the morning so that i can go to casey's dinner tomorrow night. it should be fun. i have to get home pretty early though because i have to get up like at 5 the next day. we have to be at the airport at 8 a.m.
and then after tomorrow that's it. i'm leaving my two best friends and california behind for 24 days. i'm getting sad just thinking about it.
speaking of being sad, we have to drop andrew off tomorrow. he's staying at our friend's house while we're gone. haha YEAH. that's gonna be a sob-a-thon, i'll tell you that right now. my poor andrew. he knows though. every year during this time he senses that we'll be gone for a while. ;lkaj;dlsfkjad. i am going to cry so hard tomorrow.
ANYWAYS.
that about concludes this entry. i don't think i'll have time to write tomorrow. so the next time i write i'll probably be at my grandparent's house in costa rica.
i'll try to update as much as i can and post some pictures too.
this is my biggest fear of all time. if, god forbid, something happens to the plane and i never make it back, i love you all, haha. and if not, then i'll see you in a month.
