I am going to New York next week, in FIVE days.
I can't even believe it! I am SO excited.. but I am super nervous too. Me + Big Airport alone = ??!
I know it's childish.. but I'm not used to it. It seems so grown-up.
If theres one thing thats bad/good about me.. it's innocence. I'm like too good. I don't cuss, drink, or do anything illegal or just bad/rude. Well, cross out rude.. cause I am rude when I need to be. Like an inner animal pops out and hilarious comebacks come out when someone is actin' stupid.
You should NEVER EVER see me mad. When i'm mad... I'm mad. I start shaking and I turn red as a tomato.
Another bad habit: Changing Subjects on Topic Blogs!
Anyways. I was thinking of making a checklist of everything I need for the 3ish week vacay.
Not on here! That's be embarrassing. Why? "Framed photo of my cat" CHECK! Haha, kiddin'. I'm not THAT obsessed with cats.
Well anyways, I'll try to blog in here before I leave to New York or when anything NY-related pops up.. which is unlikely.
Well, WIHL!

The Happening
6 years now, of planning and planning to visit my best friend in NY and failed, I brought it up (seriously doubting it due to many failures) to my mom and she's like yeah, you are old enough to go alone now. It could be your 16th birthday gift! Me: yayIseriouslydoubtitbutIcouldstill havealittlehope. Then it kind of faded (me: "of course.")
Then Alani IM'ed me one day and said, "My mom's getting married in June and we were thinking that you could come to the wedding! Come with your aunt that is also going!" Me: light bulb. My grandma never let me go because she didn't want me to go alone and so the stakes were really low when she said no. Then, as Alani said this, Ding! I called my grandma and she was willing to help! Yay! Then I got my mom to email Alani's mom and things got all on track!
Then, Alani's mother said the best time to go is AFTER the wedding because she thought that it'd be all too hectic. Crazy, busy, stressful. Conflict: After wedding = No going with aunt to NY.
Flashback before the IM chat with Alani: I was in the car with grandma going home after dinner from a restaurant and I overheard her say "new york" and I tuned in the convo. She's all talking about it and all, then she got serious and said, " If your aunt isn't going with you.. Don't speak to me, don't ask for anything, don't talk to me until you are back." Like, very rudely. I was baffled. She's NEVER rude like this.
So, remembering that, I cringed, knowing that if the plan when on, she'd be really mad.
So I kinda gave up. Then my dad and mom teamed up to help me go and my mom & I checked on
the Southwest website everyday and picking the days out.
Later on, we found the two perfect dates to go! So I called my dad and I went over to his house and set up the laptop and opened the southwest website then picked out the days.
Then it was actually happening! He was at the checkout! He was doing all of the super important yet boring stuff of filling in my name and stuff! I was so excited, six freaking years, waiting for this day! Then he paid for it and said, "Well, there you go!" Like it was nothing! I was like seriously open-mouthed. Then I got to my senses and gave my dad the biggest hug. Then I started crying! It was so embarrassing. Poor dad didn't know how to react! But he was glad, because I was really happy and all. I was SO happy.
Alani and I already know that when we see each other we are going to bawl out eyeballs out. I told her ," Man, if I cried just getting the ticket, I'm going to be crazy sobbing when I see you!" I really hope not but I know Alani is going to cry! She cried the last time I saw her! I was just shocked when I saw her! She totally dropped everything in her hand and ran to me crying.
When I tell me friends about Alani, they are always shocked that we are still close, even after 6 years across the continent. One even told me, honestly, that she would forget someone after a year!
So, yeah! That's my the beginning of the Summer of 2012: Cali goes to the Big Apple! I'm SO Excited! Ah! I could just feel that this summer is going to change everything! It's going to be the best summer I ever had! I even have a countdown on my phone! xD
When I am going: July 2nd - July 19th
Countdown: 72 days left
Much love,

How the Friendship Began
Alani & I first met in 1997, when we were both one years old.
I'm on the left, and her dad in the middle, and Alani on the right.
We call each other Best friends.
But technically, we are second cousins. Alani's dad is my mom's cousin.
So since we are family, we seen each other A LOT. So we grew really close together.
I lived in LA since I was born and of course, being little, I don't remember meeting her. Here's one of my blog entries addressing Alani about first hearing about her:
That's when it all began. Ever since 2002 (when we moved here) we have been the closest of friends.
Then she moved across the continent.
Saddest day of our lives.
She visited, here and there every Christmas.
Then ever since the world crashed hard, she stopped visiting.
6 years passed.
We lost close contact, rarely talking to eachother.
Then, came 2012.

So back when I was 6.. I think it was 2002. My mom called me over. She was looking at a computer screen..So we moved from LA and lived right next door to her.
There was a photo of you looking down at the camera from the second floor. You know that area where the TV room was? And it had that railing? Well you had your elbows on the railing looking down at the camera......like I said. x)
Then my mom pointed at the photo and asked " Do you want to move with Alani? " Of course, not remembering you, I asked "Who's Alani?"
"She's your cousin. We are going to move next door to her!"
"Okay!" Hahah, I had no idea.
