Whistler Trip

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already been a week since our Whistler trip. We were waiting for the trip for so long, then all of a sudden it’s over and passed already. I’ve been meaning to blog about it, but I’ve been so busy with other things. Well, it’s never too late right? LoL. I realized that this was my first really big vacation trip without my family. And I must say, I had a lot of fun. We didn’t have phone service or any internet, so I wasn’t able to update my twitter status the entire time. I was dying, so I resorted to jotting down notes in my iPhone to post in this blog later. It really helped me from going through any withdrawals. So here’s an excerpt from my notes on our Whistler trip:

Wednesday 3/18/09

9:37pm – Arrived at Whistler around…ok I don’t remember what time. Checked into the Blackcomb Lodge. Got some groceries for dinner tonight. Now we’re just chillin watching Twilight on Cicero’s laptop while cooking the food. Yay! I feel so disconnected from the world right now without any Internet. I’m sad that I can’t update my Twitter and Facebook…LOL yeah it’s an addiction. So I’ve resorted to jotting down stuff in my notes on my iPhone for the next few days. I’ll probably start up a blog and throw this in there. At least I’m not limited to 140 characters. LOL ok time to pay attention to twilight and see what all the fuss is about.

11:52 pm – Time for bed…got an early and long day tomorrow. Gotta leave the room by 7am to get to the early bird First Tracks thingy. Good night!

Thursday 3/19/09

7:43am – Wow we’re actually doing the 1st come, 1st tracks early bird breakfast thingy. On the gondola right now. Serving us breakfast at the top. Hungry!

7:54am – First time hearing someone say “ay”. The guy on our gondola with us must be local.

8:55am – Just finished breakfast…finally going on our first run.

12:12pm – Lunch break…eating at the same place we ate breakfast at the top.

11:33pm – Going to bed already?? Feels so early, but we’re all hella tired. Doing it all again tomorrow. Good night!

Friday 3/20/09

8:35am – Andrew is dancing to his eggs? (I was still in bed and overheard Shelly say that. I have no idea what was going on. lol)

10:02am – Getting ready for day two of snowboarding. Shelly cheated by going on Twitter through her work cell phone. I asked if I could see her phone. She said no.

(I didn’t bother taking my phone out at all since the weather conditions were really bad on the mountain.)

6:29pm – Waiting for table at Caramba! Restaurant.

8:42pm – Bought a bottle of Taboo Absinthe. Watching Ceez take photos of the bottle before we start drinking. LOL

11:21pm – Me and Cicero killed the fuckin bottle of absinthe. LOL

11:48pm – Going outside for a smoke since I’m the only smoker here…

Time?? Will probably regret that I fuckin took my phone off airplane mode.

Saturday 3/21/09

10:09am – Checked out and leaving Whistler now. So so sad…=(

I’m actually kinda glad that I jotted down notes in my iPhone. Now I have some sort of written record of some of the things that happened. LoL. There were a few parts missing, but whatever. In case any of you haven’t seen the photos from the trip,  check them out in my photo gallery: Whistler.

Waiting for a Table at Boiling Crab

So I’m sitting outside of Boiling Crab in Alhambra waiting for a table with my sister. I’ve never eaten here before, but everyone keeps twittering about it. So I’ve grown very curious and have been dying to try it out. I guess this place is super popular. There’s a crapload of people outside waiting for a table too and the wait is an hour and a half long! I convinced my family to have dinner here tonight so it better be worth it. I’m starting to think this might not have been a good idea because my mom isn’t a very patient person. She’s waiting in the car and I’m surprised she hasn’t started complaining yet. Ah whatever. I just can’t wait to get a table. I’m hungry and I love crab. Iz mah favorite! LOL o_O

Late for work today

I have no idea why, but I didn’t wake up to my alarms this morning and it made me an hour late for work. That’s what I get for playing around with this site so late I guess. I’m making up for my lateness by staying a little later than usual. And what am I doing? Blogging! No I did some real work. Really I did. lol…whatever, I think I’ve stayed long enough. I’m gonna go hit up Town Square right now to do a little shopping. I haven’t done that for myself in ages and I think I deserve it. Well I’m outta here! Lateeeeeerz…..

Guestbook Page Added

Crap. So much for doing any real freelance work today. I spent all day after work playing around with my website. Made some adjustments and tried out different guestbooks. I didn’t realize what time it was. Well, I’m happy with this last one that I installed. Looks pretty clean so far, but I need more people to sign it so I can make adjustments to the padding or whatever if it needs it. I mean I guess I could make fake Lorem Ipsum posts, but that’s no fun. I want real people to sign it. LoL. That’s where you guys come in….so, sign it! NOW! kthxbai…

“About Me” Page Updated

I just finished updating my about me page. I think I spent about 2 hours writing those few paragraphs about myself. I had a hard time trying to describe myself and it was even harder to fit it in just a couple paragraphs. I didn’t want to make it too long because that’s just boring. But I also wanted to get everything in there.  So yeah, that’s me in a nutshell. Oh and I decided to throw in a favorite quote of mine. =D

First Mobile Blog Post

Awesome. I just set up the Wordpress App on my iPhone. I’m just testing things out to see if everything works properly. And it looks like it is! Woooo! Now I can blog about random things right on the spot. Damn this would have been so useful on our whistler trip because you can save drafts and post them up later. Oh well. Whatever. So I’m just sitting here waiting to get off work. Got about 15 minutes left now. Yeah…then I get to go home and do freelance work. Yay…it never ends. Ha! That’s life right? Aight I’m outta here. Laterzzzzz….

“LoL! My Life” is born

Yes, I have purchased yet another domain name. I’ve been meaning to create a new blogsite for myself for awhile now, but haven’t really gotten around to it. Some of you might know my previous websites, like aj-ontheweb.com or myblogventure.com. But due to a hacker attack I had several months ago, I was forced to “nuke” my account and I lost everything. This may have actually been a blessing in disguise, because now it’s like I’m starting with a brand new account and a redesign was way overdue anyway.

As of right now, I am just using a prebuilt WordPress theme. Hopefully I can get around to designing my own sometime in the near future. I’ve never tried it so I have to find a tutorial somewhere to help me out. I know it’s gonna be a pain in the butt and I just wanted to get something up quick to get my site started.

So, there you have it. Thanks for visiting and please come back often. I’ll hopefully be blogging frequently and posting up photos as soon as I figure out how to get a gallery on this thing.

lolmylife.com…because my life makes me LoL. =D
