Best weekend with my dad. Seeing him in person for the first time in two years is probably the best feeling I've ever had. If I could do it again, I would. What's even better is that he told us he gets 3 weeks of vacation, so he can come out and visit again. I'd really love to see him again.

The first day he was here, we went to Denny's for lunch where I had this grilled cheese sandwich with cheese sticks in it... By far the most disgustingly delicious sandwich in the universe. Hahaha! So when Marina had to go do graduation practice, I stayed with Dad at the hotel and watched Ninja Warrior. Best show ever made by the Japanese. It's basically Wipe Out but super serious and extremely challenging. It actually requires intense strength.

Later that night, we went out to a small sushi restaurant called Sushi Ichiban. I'm surprised I was able to have room for desert after all that sushi. It was so yummy~! For dessert we ordered ice cream mochi and this ice cream cone fish with vanilla ice cream and red bean paste inside with whipped cream.

Food porn. Haha!

After my last final on Friday, summer officially began. I just spent the afternoon with my dad, got Mickey D's, roamed WalMart, and Dad got two cups of coffee along the way.

Later we went to Marina's graduation, which was really brief and to be honest, I only got interested when Marina's name was called for her to get her diploma. There were a lot of people there so we had to sit in the very back and we could barely hear any of the speeches. Most I remember is something about fruit and trout... Don't ask. We all went out to California Pizza Kitchen (NOT CHICKEN!) but by then we were all tired and close to passing out. So I spent the night at my dad's hotel room.

Next morning I went out with my dad and his awesome friend, who helped bring him out to California, to breakfast and spent the morning with them. At noon, we went back to the house for Marina's graduation party. My mom outdid herself once again cooking a mass amount of food that was all good. For some reason, we started watching Bollywood films via Netflix. Not that that's a bad thing but.. yeah. Bollywood.

After the party, me and Marina spent the rest of the night with Dad before he had to go to bed because his shuttle was going to pick him up at four in the morning. Disney movies and Dad trying In-n-Out for the first time since before we were born. He arrived back in Florida a while ago so it's great to hear that he got home safe.

So summer time.. Wee. Hopefully I can be able to put behind the tragic school year behind and look ahead to my junior year. Unfortunately, it's kinda difficult with a new burden on a lot of people's shoulders now. On Friday, we lost another student. A junior (became senior) named Orlando Hernandez committed suicide. Why? No one knows and I'm scared if anyone does find out why he did it. Now I'm just freaking upset that not only is this the fourth tragedy to happen at this school, but because he took away his own life. And only Orlando and God know why he did what he did.

Ugh, I just wanna stop thinking about it so I don't depress myself..

Anyway back to happy stuff.

Going to Hawaii on Tuesday with the family. Spending a week there and gonna enjoy it and take tons of pictures.
