The Journey Of A Simple Guy In Finding The Best Of Life
24 Nov
I was so pissed off that time… As we where in the car, my tita asked me to set the navigator to Anaheim ‘coz her husband was asking for it. I took the Navigator and told them that it was already set before we take our breakfast at Denny’s.
It was raining outside on our way to Anaheim… Feel the need to switch my attention to some other things and I don’t feel like talking to them so I grabbed my iPod and listen to some Kanye in full volume.
As we arrived at Disneyland, I still felt bad for what just happened in Hollywood Hills. To tell you honestly, I tried to forget all about it and just enjoy the trip but its the opportunity that keeps me hating my uncle so much.
My tita is very workaholic. She never get a chance for some vacation as she has double jobs. The only therapy she got is malling, dining and talk to her relatives in the Philippines. Can you imagine that it’s her first time to go around LA and take photos at the Hollywood Boulevard after living in the US for more than 20 years? That’s crazy! She even never get a chance to go to other states because of her work! And now that we get this opportunity of seeing more places in California is just a drive away, one ass hole just killed it!
Disneyland California is way way bigger than Hongkong, of course. You have to take a train from the parking area to get to the main entrance. Normally, the moment I enter the gates of Disneyland, it will give you this weird feeling that you are back in your childhood days and it will just give smile on your face. I didn’t feel that this time. I was still frowning and walking as if I don’t know where I am heading.
As I was waiting for my tita to come out of the rest room, I saw the kids playing around the giant Christmas tree. I just suddenly wish that my nephew was here with me and then I told my self that I will not let one parasite Mexican ruin my trip to the Disneyland Resort or US. Not now when I will be leaving in the next couple of days. I have to feel every inch of America as I am not sure yet if I will be coming back December of next year or February of 2010. (of course, I won’t be flying to US any time now)

I went along with whatever the theme park could offer. We watch Asimo, we took the submarine to watch Finding Nemo, seen the Parade and rode the boat at It’s a Small World. I wouldn’t say that we went along fine. We still argue at some things that afternoon but I decided not make a big fuss out of it. Until one instance… the fireworks.
For me, two things that one shouldn’t miss on their visit to Disneyland: Parade and Fireworks. The entire Disneyland was decorated with Christmas ornaments and the fireworks will be a great show since there will be snow flakes showers accompanied at the show. I really want to watch the show as it will be a great start for the Holiday Season. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and it will be fun to start the party that night.

The Mexican wanted to go home. I told my tita that I really wanted to watch it. We went to the shops, they look for something to buy and I just watched the parade once again at the Main Avenue. I was actually planning to buy those Ed Hardy like designs of sweater I saw two girls wearing that morning but I found out that they don’t have something for guys. I decided not to buy anything since they also don’t have snow globes for some reasons.
One hour to go before fireworks, I asked my tita that we should be walking to the Sleeping Beauty’s castle to take a great spot for the show. We walked, not minding the Mexico City and found a really great spot. I was standing that time while they are both on the bench. I can hear the normal Mexican “mami… let’s go home… mami”… He keeps on repeating those words over and over again… until I gave up! I don’t want to hear those words anymore, I don’t want to hear his voice. I turned around and said, Let’s Go Home! My tita asked me if I don’t want to watch the show anymore. I told her, “He wanted to go home, right? Then let’s just go home!”
I walked as fast as I can. Line up to the train section and waited for it. There was a silence in the car. No one is speaking to anyone. As I reach for my iPod, my tita breaks the silence. She told me that we will be going back to Disneyland as soon as Dwayne and my sister arrives in the US. I ignored it, and just played a song on my iPod. While Neyo’s Mad started playing on it, for some reasons my tears fall from my eyes. I couldn’t handle my frustrations anymore. I am so mad… so angry with a man who stole my holidays for his own good!
I wanted to scream but I can’t. I wanted to confront him, but I won’t. I pretend to be sleeping until or just wandering San Diego Freeway while raining. We stopped at Plaza Boulevard to grab some dinner at this local Chinese Restaurant. I know my tita will order my favorite Salted Pepper Chicken but it doesn’t excite me. They all eat at home and I just stayed in my room that night watching Disney’s Believe video on YouTube until I fall asleep.
