Disney

I've been really excited about Disneyland, now that I've got a pass :D My bf and I went again on the 11th :)

We first hit the train, rode around for a bit, ended up in fairytale land (oh I don't remember the name) and saw a bit of the princess show.

I don't remember everything we did though! Ah well, have some photos :D

Pinocchio Ride

Snow White ride

I remembered how much I hate this ride because of how dark the storyline of the ride is :( Won't go on it again!

Alice in Wonderland :D

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

We saw this donkey(?)!! So awesome!

Lol Rob on the Mark Twain boat. It was so cool being able to see so much!

Haunted Mansion!! I was so excited to go on this :D I remember it being sooo scary when I was little, but I really like it!

More Haunted Mansion

We saw the Jazz Band play :)

Yay I got my first character photo! Dunno what happened to the photo though haha

Oh man, we went through Innovations, saw ASIMO the robot, and then went through the house, saw this kickass cello, I don't play, but whew I would love to have that!!

At the end of the day we saw the parade, my phone was dead so I just got photos from my bf :)

After this, we headed over to California because I had been craving clam chowder. We went to the sourdough factory and got some in a sourdough bowl, and maaan it was good, but they give you so little T^T we wasted so much time eating the inside of the bread XD

By 8pm, I was freezing my ass off -- note to self, don't wear shorts :( or at least bring pants! so we decided to head home~

Overall I had a lot of fun!! I'm going back this coming wed with some friends, one of which work there, so we'll hear a lot of interesting stories :D

Until Next Time!

Disneyland!

Finally, finally! After 8 years, I went to Disneyland! My awesome boyfriend got us passes, and now I want to go ALL the time!! It was so much fun, because I remembered things from the last time I went, what rides I had gone on, others that weren't there, and how much had changed! We went last Sunday, March 4th, but it feels like it's already been longer than that :(

We headed to California Adventure first, and Soarin' Over California was the first ride we hit :)

It was awesome! I didn't realize how high up you go!

After that, we went straight to Tower of Terror

We could see the photos being taken while we were in line

I wasn't very nervous waiting in line, but once we got inside and sat down, I got a bit nervous x_x But then, we took off, and I had a blast! Definitely planning on going back on it :D We talked to the girls next to us in the photo while in line, and they ended up giving us fast passes to Space Mountain! Really sweet girls :)

We walked around for a bit, and then went on the Little Mermaid ride <3

The Little Mermaid is one of my favorites, so I was super excited :D The Ariel figures were kind of scary looking though ^^;

We got there in the afternoon, so the sun was already gone by the time we headed over to Disneyland. We walked around a bit, then decided to go on the Buzz Lightyear ride. I was ready to kick some butt!

I kicked Robert's butt - I had 101,000 points, and he had 88,600 :P But that's okay, we both had fun :)

We walked around a bit more, then headed over to Space Mountain. Can you believe I've never been on it before? I didn't know what to expect, but was excited :) I was expecting a big drop the entire time, but it never happened haha. I love how fast it was!

Let's see...after this we went onto the Big Thunder Mountain ride, and while we were on it the fireworks started up. Really cool to be on a ride and watching fireworks.

While everyone was watching the fireworks, we ran over to Pirates, and there was nooo line! It had been FOREVER and I love that ride so much! I'm so damn gullible that Rob told me they took the drops out and I believed him :( ah well!

We then ran over to Indiana Jones, but it was temporarily closed :( oh well! on to the Jungle Cruise! It was really weird to go on at night because we couldn't see too much aside from what was lit with the lights from the boat.

After that, we were getting pretty tired, and our feet were hurting, so we decided to take off. I like having a pass because you don't have to do everything in one day, you can always come back...and that's just what we'll do! Hopefully this Sunday we'll be able to go again :)

Until Next Time!

Photoshoot!

Hi everyone!

On March 3rd, I did a photoshoot with my lovely friend Stephanie, and our photographer, the awesome, Mike Cabusi! It was the first real photoshoot I've done, and I had so much fun :D We shot at Scripps College in Claremont.

Steph was wearing A Midsummer Night's Dream JSK II in navy:

And I wore Twinkle Carnival Switching JSK in ivory:

I met a girl named Dae (well, that's how I spell it in my head), who helped Mike out with lighting. We also helped her out with a photography homework assignment - two photos for focus and another for movement.

I kept taking candid photos ^^;

 Some of the stairs we shot on

Mike thought of really awesome shots, and I think a lot of them are going to turn out great! I'm so excited to see them, but they've got to be processed first x_x

Mike shooting Steph coming through the gate

While walking to another shooting location, we came upon a group of students playing QUIDDITCH!! It was so awesome to see something like that happening in person! It was pretty hilarious because they were holding their "broomsticks" between their legs XD I wonder how they figured out the rules to play...?

I can't wait for the photos to be uploaded, and I'll be sure to post them when they do!

Until next time,
<3 Sami
