friday (6/23)
the drive there was pretty chill. 1st stop; picked up john. i realized that i met him before at a PIC meeting with christina. he's a nice guy with some guitar skills. makes me feel shitty cos i barely picked up my guitar. 2nd stop; picked up amanda. she seems like a shy girl. really quiet. but kind. thanks for lettting us blast our music guys. :) during the drive, i warned them that they better take their last shit in a nice bathroom once we make our pitt stop at some nearby town. we decided to stop by a starbucks in petaluma. i never heard of that place in my life. but, we were about an hour away from our destination: dillion's beach. john and amanda didn't want to do # 2. they just peed. while me and babe were trying to force it out. i kinda failed since i didn't get to fully release it. while babe succeeded but his testicles hurt. LOL. sorry to hear that hun.
after our business was done at starbucks. we headed out towards our long rest of the journey to dillion's beach. on the road near there, i noticed that there was drastic a change in weather. it was sunny clear skies just a few moments ago. now, it's all gloomy, foggy, & the sun was no where to be found. it was like... we walked into an eternal winter. me and babe got concerned cos we didn't pack the right clothes. shit, super fail.
once passing through all the cows... farmland... and everything. we finally reached our destination around 8-9 PM. late ass arrival since the rest were there since like noon. i spotted the beach. it wasn't the ideal beach i was looking for. it looked fuckin' freeeeezing. & the weather was not crackin' at all. we tried getting through the camp site.. which was lawson's landing located a mile away from it. but, babe was underage so we had to wait for an adult within 25 years of age to come through. angry ass ladiesss tho. they kept muggin' us from the car and giving babe hecka attitude. i swear... its cos they haven't got laid in awhile or something. bizatches. middle fingers up to yaa. thank gosh, alex's mom offered to get us.
looking around the area, i was kinda surprised on the number of people. there lots of headdds. hecka crazaaay how people would come all the way out there to camp in such a melancholy setting. once we got to the campsite, there was already a tent set up for us. thanks christina. we unpacked our things, and the hardest part was setting up the air mattress. took us days... but after awhile we got it. alex made us sandwiches. i was sad that we missed making smores... but all goood always tomorrow. we spent the rest of the night chilling with the group (xtina, najee, alex, angie [alexsis], channing, john, & amanda.) in christina's tent. babe and i couldn't get our minds off of how good it feels to shower. we felt stuffy in the current atmosphere even though it was freezing. we decided to head to back to our tent and get ready for bed. things felt a lil better. so cold, but body warmth ftw. <3
saturday (6/24)
violently woke up around 9 AM; had a bad dream about missing the whole day at camp. sorry for startling you babe. :(
breakfast; alex's mom prepared us some tortillas with eggs, ham, and all that. pretty good.
i had urge to finish the rest of my #2. long ass debating time. but since everyone went to climb the "sandy mountain," babe took me to CVS about 45 minutes away from camp to do my thang. ugh... that bathroom was so cleaaaaan. i missed it.
back to chilling; played mafia. me & babe made the gameee foreaaals. i got away with being the killaaa. >:D poor john though. kept gettin' blamed.
dillion's beach; after mafia. everyone went to do their own thang. while me & babe decided check out the beach since i never really had a fulfilling beach experience. i just seen one. no contact. we got there & realized that our attire wasn't cool since it was freakin' sandy. walked all the way back to lawson's landing to redress. & trip back to beach. it was fckin' ice colddd the first time we went into the water. after awhile.. our bodies got used to the temperature. not that bad anymore. took lots of pics.
back to campsite; turns out everyone ate already & were waiting for us. people were planning to go catch some crabbies. we tagged along since they were all fighting for babe to give them a ride. too popular. got 'em falling in love er what? (;
the dock; it was hecka cold. babe didn't really have a warm sweater since the one he brought got wet, for reason unknown. we decided to go back to our tents to be warm. i noticed that baby integra was freakin' warmer than our tent. so we just chilled in there & camera whored our time away.
ultimate bonding; after the group was done crabbie catching. we decided to process the highlight of the day which was making smores! yummy yummy. it was bomb together. but the ingredients alone are kinda whack.
misunderstood; everyone went back to christina's tent. while me and babe chilled with the adults. russell (christina's mom's boyfriend) thought that we didn't like him cos of the look we supposedly gave him when he told us that people were waiting for us. sorry man. eventually we got everything cleared up & got along with good terms. although, i wasn't feelin' how he's always judging me by my age. & thinking we're ignorant cos of it. well.. i understand. but i still don't think age defines your maturity level. its how you carry yourself that really defines what age you are. not just some number.
end of the day; we left the adults since most of 'em are heading to bed. we went back to the group and spent the night away playing some mafia. eventually me and babe got tired while the rest were still rowd. we went back to our tent. & boy... was it frustrating. the zipper malfunctioned and it wouldn't freakin' close. after hecka hours.. we thought we got it all fixed. then just decided to knock out. a few minutes later, we noticed that the gap in the zipper was still there. & the cold air was coming through our tent. we just gave up on fixing it. & dealt with the cold. some bitchassness... foreals.
sunday (6/25)
rise & shine around 9 AM; alex woke us since we all needed to pack up and head home. we stuffed alla our things back in baby integra. babe didn't wear a jacket cos he's a tough cookie. he couldn't wait to dip back to civilization, & i couldn't either. once we got done packing, me and babe ate the chicken that channing brought & just chilled with the crew before we had to leave. i had my last few moments of camera whoring with everyone. then, around noon. christina's family decided to leave early. while me, babe, najee, alex, his mommy, angie, john, & amanda were the ones left back. we decided to help alex's mom pack up since she's been helping us survive the most. i thought.. paying russell that $10 was a huge ripoff since we barely ate anything of his. it's mostly just alex's mom feeding us. but oh well. thanks for everything. you're sure one super mommy. (x
after we got most of the stuff put away. me and babe decided to start our adventure back home along with john & amanda since well... we're their ride. once almost headed towards home. we decided to stop by davis so i can shower. ohhhmaaagoooosh. felt hecka good. then we dropped the two of them back home. & ended the day chilling at babe's house. i thought everything was just going to be a relaxing day. we went to rite-aid to get some icecream. & alla the sudden i get a text from my sister informing me that we're having a late bday dinner for my dad. i'm like... foreals... now you tell me? so, we rushed to get a card there and babe dropped me off home. i gave the card to my dad. & napped until dinner time.
when we were finished eating. i asked my sister if she would drop me off at phi's. she was cool with it. i got back. me and babe decided to watched ip man which was a movie about martial arts with the brehbreh son and his mommy. good stuff.
this weekend, was alot of fails. hopefully, it will better prepare us next time if we ever go camping again. you live & learn, right? ;p
i realized how much people take life for granted. some people think they have it the worst even though they have all they need. people to love, food to eat, a roof under their heads... etc. it's not until you have everything taken away from you that you really understand how good you have it. but why wait for everything to disappear just to realize it?
i like how you took a simple experience such as camping and derived a life lesson and realization from it. too deeep :]
