Pinks, Promenade, Burbank, Fashion Dist., MOCA!

(continuation of CATCH UP BLOG)

THURSDAY 7/7

Internship. Ate with parents in Westwood. Celebrated Jon and Thomas's birthday and their apartment.

FRIDAY 7/8

Was told to leave at lunch of my internship and I was sad. People think I'm crazy cuz I want to stay late at my internship and don't like it when I have the day off but the way I see it is its one less day I have to really take advantage of this limited time internship. It's not a job that is unlimited in days (assuming you don't get fired) you know what I mean? I just want to take advantage of every moment I have at this internship and the resourced that I have available to me. Anyways so I left at like 2 cuz I said around a bit and then parents picked me up from work and we went to 3rd Street Promenade. Thus began the Friday night adventures with parents....

1. Went to 3rd Street Promenade, walked a bit. Mom was all into shopping but I was sooo tired and beat.
2. Went to Goodwill on 4th Street (still pooped)
3. Found a Mcdonald's and bought medium fries and shared a large caramel frapp with me dadds. MMM.
4. Went to Burbank Centennial celebration. The city was celebrating their 100th year as a city and the streets were closed off and they had lots of live bands around the corner, booths of company's handing out free stuff and this cool display of vintage cars and lastly FIREWORKS. Some details...
  • Live bands: literally one every corner. Parents ofc danced a bit.
  • For dinner: ate thai food it was pretty good and a good deal.
  • Car show: there was this awesome old cop car with a black doggie in it wearing silver sunglasses. It was soo cute. The owner had trained it to sit with its head leaning out the window. It was such a still and well behaved dog. My mom loved the dog but she had a hard time getting a pic of it cuz these kids kept petting it it, I was like alright already...Seriously thought the dog was like the cutest thing ever. I wish I had a dog like that so well behaved. My kinda dog.
  • Free things received: Ikea candy, Ikea bag clips, Burbank shopping bag
  • FIREWORKS: were sooo soo amazing and we were so close to it too. It was cool because at one point the fireworks were going off like crazy and I was convinced that it was the finale but it wasn't and then it kept going it was maybe 1 of the best that I've seen? Simply from being so close.
Overall the night was wonderful and a great hang out with the parents. Miss them so much and love them so much.

SATURDAY 7/9

What a day what a day. Here is what went down...

1. Woke up at 10am (nice...) and then walked to pick up rental car for parents that they would later drive home in later that night.
2. Drove to new work location.
3. Went to eat at Pink's for the very first time. O MY GAH it was good. I didn't fee like the wait was that long. We waited in line for like 30 min. I ordered I think a "Planet Hollywood" which was sooo mmm soo good. It consisted of the following ingredient: nacho cheese, tomatoes, spicy sausage, mushrooms and onions. OH GOODNESS, can you say heaven? It was $6.10 and you might think it's pricey for a hot dog but really it actually is pretty worth it because they pile on the ingredients and so its really filling and if you think about it equivalent to a big sandwich. So so good. Way to my heart is FOOD no lie no lie and other things too but that's another time another blog haha.
4. Went to Fashion district and made a the quickest in out trip EVER. Dad dropped us off and my mom and I went and bought spanks and then I bought finally a big bag! A fake Jimmy Choo black distressed bag. It's perfect for me, I really love it and it has a cute heart charm on it. $30 not bad. Dad picked us up and we thought he had just been driving around but actually he parked and even bought 2 hats himself. No lie fastest and most efficient visit to the fashion district, because you can really spend hours in this area.
5. Went to MOCA Geffen Contemporary. They currently have the art in the streets exhibit. All 3 of us got in for $5 each cuz we're students. Parents are students at city college (cuz they take dance classes). The exhibit didn't look very big but it took us 2.5 hrs to see the whole thing. It was really interesting. I especially loved the art work and artist that had a deeper meaning and symbolism involved in their art. I also enjoyed reading the history of street art and grafitti. Mom was eh kinda on it and dad said it was "interesting".
6. At at a Korean bbq restaurant.
7. Goodbye Parents! Love you!
7. Went out to a bar (2nd time) in Santa Monica with some past coworkers. Fun time and very classy and nice bar.
