Lakers 2004

Posted by Lena at 10:21 AM on November 4, 2004.

Oh my...did anyone see yesterday's game. Bummer...they didn't do well at all!! And it's the Utah Jazz...they should have beat them! Awww...I just hope they were having a bad day. I didn't catch the whole game but the part I saw was sad. At least they did well with Denver but Denver isn't hard to beat either. Tomorrow they play San Antonio. Good luck Lakers!! It's not preseason anymore, they gotta kick some butt!!

So my Vegas trip was fun!! We met up friends from Arizona there and went on the New York New York roller coaster ride which was soooooooo much fun!!! Me and my friend sat in the way front and it's such a cool view and it's almost a vertical drop down. So fun! We then went clubbing at night which was a lot of fun too. Vegas clubs are nice and big. And they played cool music...whoohoo!
And came home just in time on Sunday to give kids candy. That was fun...they are so adorable. We got these siblings that were dressed like Scooby Doo, Wilma, and Shaggy. Awwww....

And oh my gosh...voting was crazy this year! I left work at 6 and didn't get to my city to the voting poll till 7:15! That's unusually crazy traffic for that time since I didn't drive a long distance that day. And then I was in line till about 8:20 and that's when I got to vote. I waited for an hour! I totally wouldn't have but I was excited to vote since I didn't vote in the 2000 election. And I wanted a sticker.

Happy Diwali!!

Posted by Lena at 04:07 PM on November 12, 2004.

Today is the festival of lights in India, which is called Diwali. Houses are supposed to cleaned, lighted and left open to welcome goddess Lakshmi, who is the goddess of wealth. It's a fun holiday in India, kinda like how Christmas is here.
And then Sunday is another Indian holiday called Bhai Duj. Sisters do a prayer for their brothers (and/or cousin brothers) and us girls receive a gift (I have 3 cousin brothers so 3 gifts...whoohoo!). My family is celebrating it tomorrow @ 8am!! I have to wake up so early on Saturday!! That's okay cause I love my family.

I had a good week but I'm so glad it's finally Friday!!
Last weekend on Friday my work took us to Knott's Berry Farm. It was so much fun!! I went on all the roller coasters and many other rides. It was Friday so Knott's wasn't packed at all so there were hardly any lines. 1 of the rides made my neck hurt bad but other than that, it was awesome! Then Saturday me and Phuong went for Indian food in Pasadena and then saw The Incredibles . Good movie!! I highly recommend seeing it on big screen. Then Sunday me and her 2 other bridesmaids threw my very good friend a birdal shower. It went really well and I was really stressing out that morning, so I was soooooo happy it went well!

I went to the mall this week after work and it was all decorated with Christmas decorations and they had Santa's sitting area all set up. This holiday is so pretty and everyone is so happy...I love it! And I can't wait for Thanksgiving break. Shopping time!!!

Vegas!

Posted by Lena at 02:28 PM on November 22, 2004.

This past weekend I went to Vegas for a bachelorette party. It was fun! But I guess I'm not too much of a Vegas fan cause after 1 night I was so ready to come home. It's too smoky there. You enter a casino and leave with your hair smelling like smoke as well as your clothes! And people are crazy!!! WOW weirdos I tell ya!

Anyways...coming home yesterday was ridiculous! We left around 1:30 and didn't get back till 10PM!!! 8 1/2 hours!!! What happened was that there was a snowstorm the night before and it snowed in the Cajon Pass and they had to shut it for some time and also there was ice on the road so people were driving slow. It's kinda scary to drive in the snow...how do east coasters do it?!?! So it took about 4 hours to get 15 miles! Then when we got a little before Barstow, it started snowing!! That was my first snowfall. I've never seen or felt snow before so I was all excited but everyone else was like oh great! haha Unfortunately I didn't get to feel the snow falling cause we couldn't stop the car but oh well...I'll definitely have to experience that again, but not driving next time! So we got off at Barstow and ice was falling so I got a picture in that. YAY!! Plus I was opening my mouth and it was falling in...yummy ice! haha The snow went on till after Victorville. Who knew it snowed in Victorville!?!? It was so cool seeing cars covered in snow and snow filled tree tops. How exciting! I badly wanted to go outside.
