Spending the holidays in Los Angeles turned out to be alright for me. I came here expecting the worse with my mom being sick and not having any other relatives in this part of the United States, I thought it would be extremely stressful for me. But thankfully, my mother's recovering and I'm getting some time off walking the streets of downtown Los Angeles. (not to mention all the shopping! shhh!)
The only drawback really is the weather. It's 5 C out there and as much as I like the cold, I have a feeling I'm getting too old for it. I'm just sooo dry! And I've never really been that type of girl that slops on all kinds of greasy lotions. Albeit I think it's safe to say that I AM that type of girl that likes buying all those things especially with Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works just around the corner! (Gawd just thinking about it gets me all giddy!) But so anyway, yeah, I'm dry. My skin is just so flaky and dry, not that it's something I should be proud of but I have no idea how people function in the cold. Some days I really just want to hide under the comforter and stay in bed all day. But then, where's the adventure in that?! So, despite the cold and dryness, I always try to find the courage to go out in the cold and explore. So far, I can say that I'm liking LA. People are really friendly over here. And with the help of the internet, getting around is pretty easy. I've almost gotten used to waking up to someone honking their horn to the tune of "La Cucaracha" and being called purr-ty once in a while. Also, sharing an apartment with 2 Japanese yuppies is pretty cool given the fact that I just lo-ove Japanese food. Not that there's a connection really, but if I love the food then the people should be just as nice. :-)
