   *awww*
Thanks for all the birthday wishes for my mom! ^_^

Since nothing much went on today, I'll just talk about my trip last weekend. ^_^ (Side rant: School's starting on Thursday and I still can't sleep earlier!!! >.< )

Friday night: Packed everything for tomorrow. Couldn’t sleep. =_=
Saturday: Since I couldn’t sleep last night, I ended up staying awake until it was time for everyone to get ready to leave, that was around 3 am. It took us 2 hours to get everything together, and left around 5. (It was my mom’s birthday already, I almost forgot to greet her, and she got mad because she caught me and my sister still awake. ^_^;; Oops.) So, once we got in the car, I tried to catch some sleep, but couldn’t since I purposely went on a sugar high because my mom said once we got to Vegas and checked in to the hotel, we’ll go touring already. But I did get a 30 minute nap. Hehe. It was okay, though, I got to see the sun rise. ^_^ Took a picture of that, stayed awake for an hour and half more, and then we drove to a rest stop soon after. We ate breakfast there, looked around for a bit, and then went back on the road.

Another 2 hours later, I awoke to find that we had stopped because the car broke down. ~_~ This was the not-so-fun part. Besides the already bad news of the car breaking down, mom and dad were getting angry, and it was 93 degrees at the time. Good thing it was a little windy, but then again, the wind was hot. -_-;; They called the towing company and a rent-a-car place, for obvious reasons. The parents had to debate on renting a car, though. Mom opted for a taxi, dad said stick with renting a car. Dad won. So while he went with the towing guy to a car-fixing place (forgot what it was called), we had to wait for him at the nearby Jack in the Box. (Another good thing here. At least we didn’t have to wait in the burning hot sun. ^_^) An hour or so later, dad came back with a rented car, and off we went to Las Vegas.

Now that we had finally reached Vegas, we checked in to the hotel, put our stuff in the room, rested a little bit, and then went touring. Oh, but before we actually did the touring, we found out the car was fixed already, so we went to the rent-a-car place first, exchanged vehicles, and THEN went touring. There we go. ^_^

Let’s see, we parked the car at a hotel, not the one we were staying at, and walked around The Strip. Saw a lot of cool themed hotels (i.e., Paris theme, Egypt theme, Ceaser’s Palace, etc.), their main attractions and such (there was a show in Ceaser’s Palace with moving and talking statues, telling the story of how Atlantis was destroyed. It was awesome! ^__^), arcades, roller coasters (although we didn’t get to ride on any), billboards (there are so many of those in Vegas!), other rides (didn’t get to go there either), slot machines (duh), and other things that I can’t really remember right now. ^_^ Lots of walking involved, so my feet were killing me, even though I was wearing sneakers, and the lack of sleep kind of took most of the fun away. (I felt guilty for that. It was my mom’s birthday after all, and we didn’t even show her that we were having fun.) And it was so hot too! Stupid desert weather. ~_~

Anyway, we stopped at around 8:30 pm, ate at Arby’s, because my mom thought that they had ribs, and she wanted those. (Applebee’s had the ribs, she got confused with the commercials. *lol* ^_^;;) And then went back to the hotel.

One thing I didn’t like about this day was that I couldn’t watch Inuyasha or Wolf’s Rain. For some reason, our room didn’t have cable ( >_< ), thus no Cartoon Network. Grr… And on top of that, I could’ve just as easily asked my aunt to record it, but she said she couldn’t find the blank tape. ~_~ Meh. Even with all the reassurance that I’ll be able to watch it, deep down, I really knew it wouldn’t happen. *sigh* Hopefully I didn’t miss out on much. Or did I? (Um, little favor, if I may and if you want to, can someone tell me what happened? Just the main bit of Inuyasha and Wolf’s Rain, so I won’t get lost next week. Thanks in advance either way. ^_^)

Wow, so this got really, really long. ^^;; Sorry. (Long story short, I had fun, even with all the downsides.) I’ll end it now. I’ll just post what happened on Sunday tomorrow. *hugs everyone tightly* By the way, I missed you guys! ^.^ Even if it was just for the weekend. Thanks so much for all the comments too. I appreciate it greatly. Okay, well, take care! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! And may you have a good week ahead! Here’s the pic!

[EDIT:] Spartin Solder is back!! ^__^



I couldn't watch it, so here's a pic from Wolf's Rain. ^_^ I don't know who drew this, though. I just got it from W-L-A. ^^;;


Thanks for reading! Ja ne!
