christmas morning found me at yvr waiting for my flight to san francisco which got delayed from 6am to 1pm because of a hurricane warning. not wanting to spend the rest of the day in transit, i opted to take the plane to los angeles instead.

getting off the plane, the first thing i noticed was the sun, i missed its warmth after being huddled up in snow for too long. met up with relatives and explored the terrains of simi valley. i want to live here, i’ve said the same of chicago and new york but this time i really feel it tugging at my heart. maybe because there’s family here who gives me free hugs =).

didnt do the usual touristy stuff but i did manage to visit hollywood and stroll along the walk of fame. the days were filled with shopping and errands and catching up while the nights were overflowing with clubbing, pool, sangria, jager bomb, poker and more stories to fill my empty jar.

my favorite nook is on top of the hill of reagan library overlooking the canyons while watching the sunset. will definitely need to come back here.
