Alright just wanna start off by saying... We really needed this break. I'm sure everyone can say "amen!" to that. =] So! Aside from those two days of school, this week has been terrrrrrrific! Fantastico! Excelente! On Wednesday, my parents and I drove up to Orlando to meet up with my brothers. We got to stay at a resort, and my my.... mmm what a site it was! Three bedrooms! One master queen-size bed fit for three oversized men... though I'm sure that wasn't the reason for its size. XD There was a jacouzi (did i spell that right?) and a TV set in each room. And it doesn't end there! They even included a balcony for us to go on and with this marvelous weather we've been having lately, you can only imagine how relaxing it was. Here's a grand overview of the resort: 
Haven't had that great of a sleep since... ah too long to remember. And thats all we did throughout the whole vacation... heck no! lol It only gets better. So on Wednesday, after we unloaded everything and got settled, went out for buffet (china buffet of course XD) and the food there wasn't that great. Tasted old. On a positive note, th--- eh there wasn't really anything positive about the food. So afterwards, we did some massive shopping. I alone spent over at least $40 on clothes (is that wrong for a guy?). We went to a couple outlets. My brother bought a super-nice Fossil blue watch that's really shiny. All of us bought a buttload of stuff. Our Christmas this year is gonna be like $50 and up for each present. Craziness. So after shopping, you can guess that we were all tired so why not take a relaxing nap on a hammock? 
Afterwards, later on that night, we decided to take a stroll down Downtown Disney! It was freezing that night! There wasn't too much to see there though. And so as far as I remember (which isn't very long), we ended the night (at least me and Jorge did) by playing Resident Evil on the Gamecube. Thursday - Turkey Day! The most unusual, yet amazing thing happened on Thursday. So while Jorge and I were playing Super Mario Strikers on the Gamecube, my other brother, Jan calls and says to run outside to the lake area and bring the camera. And what was so unusual outside you might ask? *Looks left* *Looks right* hmm there's nothing here. No! Look up! Up in the sky! Ah its a bird! Its a plane! Its Superm----nah it is a bird. Wait a second! What's behind it!? 
"TURN TO JESUS" It was soo amazing! There was a guy in a plane writing those words. I'm happy to see people have the courage to show off our God and spread Christianity. I mean, why shouldn't we? A lot of people around us were like "Woah! What's that say? Turrrrn... tooo... je--jesus? Wow. That's pretty cool." Then, at lunch, we had our Thanksgiving Feast. I think we all ate too much. Either that or there was something in that wine that we all drank (ick.. i don't like wine...champagne... w/e). Here's a picture of our turkey along with all the other food! 
Usually we have maybe like 3 times that on Thanksgiving, but since we were away from home, we could only pack so much. Still, it had the same effect. We were all bloated afterwards. So after that fabulous meal my lovely mother prepared (praises to my mom), my brothers and I went to go play basketball since there was a court in the resort we stayed in. In the Welcome Center, it said there was some sort of Basketball event at 4:00 pm so we went and found a couple kids playing. And of course we joined them and got 5 on 5 games going on. They were mostly kids around 10-14. It was pretty fun. Had a few trash talkers in there, but what fun would there be if there weren't any trash talkers? Especially when you're against them lol. I scraped both of my knees. One time was cause I was goin for the ball and then I landed my left foot on the ball and SCHWACK! Tripped and fell on my left hand and knee and had to go get a band aid for it. The other time was when I was going for a layup on a fast break and someone was on a crash-course with its destination directed at me. I made the layup but fell down on my right knee. Overall, we played some pretty fun games. Meanwhile, the Bucs were losing.....as expected. So then we were planning on camping out Comp USA because of the whole Black Friday sale, but decided not to and so we ended up taking a walk through the CityWalk of Universal Studios. =D There were a lot of lights, colorful lights I might add. Here's a picture of me. My brother told me to do this so don't get the wrong impression of me. 
Me and Jorge (and my dad to the right) 
My brothers and I (this picture got a little blurry) 
Aren't I gnarlly? eh? eh? ok maybe not. lol "ahhh someone save me!" 
On Friday, we went to eat at another Chinese Buffet called Dragon Court. Now that place had muy riquissimo food! Following that, we went to a do a little more shopping (using my literary devices: litote...darn IB). We went to the Florida Outlet. There were so many people there! And to my surprise, maybe like 30% of them were asian. I never knew. And so, we came back home and that concludes my Thanksgiving week. Now, I have to worry about a Poetry project that's gonna take an eternity. But, this comin week, I get to go to USF and compete in MathBowl! Wahoo! (for others, "You dork!") I don't care. I'm missing class, and we're goin to the Marshall Center afterwards. Plus, we get our shirts in.. the one I designed so there's gonna lots of koolaid this week. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! Less than a month til Christmas! We're almost there! Yippee!! -----------> Jay <------------- |
