Griffith Observatory website link: here.

All information are in their website already and I got this as an introduction, Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos! Visitors can look through telescopes, explore exhibits, see live shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, and enjoy spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign. 

First time in Griffith Observatory Area, Hollywood Sign, and Hollywood Walk of Fame link: here.
So the Hollywood sign is that far from Griffith observatory.

You can get closer by hiking though. But we had no time to do that anymore so we had to settle for this. 
Unlike our first time here, we decided to go in and see the exhibits they have in Griffith.
Ceiling painting
The closest to stargazing activity that I was able to do. 
My body temperature for that day was 93.1 Farenheit. Literal na hot. haha. That was around 34 Celsius. 

Phases of the moon. 
Mawawala ba naman ang picture ng likod haha

<3 Being able to see the moon at the other side of the world hihihi. 
Foucault Pendulum

One of my favorite. This one demonstrates the rotation of the Earth. 
I have yet to visit a place wherein I can watch the stars all night. <3
Always in awe with our universe.

Hahaha.
And whoever is that photobomber guy on the left.
Los Angeles downtown and Hollywood Area.

Alam niyang kahit napakaraming tao ay madali ka naman hanapin, hindi lang niya naisipang gawin

Kaya doon sa malayong lugar na tuwing nababanggit ay ikaw pa rin ang tumatakbo sa isip niya, wala siyang alaala mo

Kasi kung sakit man ang nararamdaman niya, hindi na ikaw ang gamot

At sa isang tanong noon na kahit may pagpipilian ay ikaw lang ang naiisip niya, hindi na ikaw ang sagot

And moi, of course.

I need a photo remembrance from the Land of the Angels. HAHA
They have  a lot more exhibits than the those I posted in here.

Entrance and most exhibits are free but they have a show wherein you have to pay before getting in.

and Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

Malaysia's Genting Highlands in 2014 link: here. My first cable car ride was there. :)



"I want to ride on a cable car on a winter day. Where? Money, where?" Well, you were kind of able to do it, 2014 self. hahaha. You rode a cable car and have experienced a day of winter. HAHAHAHA. Pwede na!


Let our faith be bigger than our fear. Huhuhu. Pushhhhhh. 

I didn't search on this too much. I just saw that there's a cable car/tramway in Palm Springs so we looked for it.

Little did we know that it is a State Park that is on top. 'Cause we initially thought that the Tram was our destination when the fact is, it is just a mode of transportation to get to the Park.

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway—the world’s largest rotating tram car—travels over two-and-one-half miles along the breathtaking cliffs of Chino Canyon, transporting riders to the pristine wilderness of the Mt. San Jacinto State Park. During your approximately ten-minute journey, tram cars rotate slowly, offering picturesque and spectacular vistas of the valley floor below. Once you reach the Mountain Station—elevation 8,516 feet—enjoy two restaurants, observation decks, natural history museum, two documentary theaters, gift shop and over 50 miles of hiking trails.

Missed this kind of high!!

I really love high, overlooking places. Hihi. 
First California State Park! :)

These trees greeted us as we arrived at the top.

Like Mt. Charleston in Nevada and Lake Tahoe, this State Park is also famous for its snow/winter activities.
Not even 1/20 of the whole state park and we were already running out of breath. haha!
We didn't hike to the peak of Mount San Jacinto but we walked around this area of the self-guided walk which was the easiest and closest to the tram station. 
Don't know if we're going to the Discovery Nature Trail or Adventure Center.

Haha! I'm pretty sure we walked towards the Discovery Nature Trail but got lost so we ended up trekking/walking along the Desert View Trail. 

Pwede na! haha. Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks soon. Yes, life? :))) I still have a lot of State Parks and National Parks on my list!
The end of the desert trail!
Summit Moment!

Thankful. hehe.

Iba talaga appeal sa'kin ng bundok. I always have this inclination to go to anything mountain-related. HAHAHAHA!
I have a lot of pictures with big rocks in the states. Hahaha!
I miss my favorite shades! :( I broke it while travelling back to the Philippines. :( Naipit. :((( After sa lahat ng hirap na pinagdaanan mong kasama ako, shades. Dun ka pa bumigay. :((( Huhuhu! We were together for six months. hahaha!! Kainis talagaaaaaaa. :(
You'd notice that the park has a lot of broken branches and trunks like this.

It wasn't summer yet when we went there but the sun was already too hot.

That time, it was still cold in Las Vegas so we still didn't know that the "too hot" of San Jacinto was nothing compared to a "hot summer" day in Vegas. haha! 
Reyna. 

There was a caution sign saying that this area has an unsafe footing.

And yes, look at that stubborn "young lady"
My eye bags don't have to fight for survival though. Sa lahat, sila pinaka makaka survive.
There was a sign that one must take time and smell this tree so I did. hahaha.

Madali lang naman akong kausap.

It smells like a mix of vanilla and cinnamon. 
Mt. Pulag in Benguet is higher than this at 2,922 MASL. 
More Nature Trips please!

Mount Seoraksan and Nami Island :)))

Yesterday it was exactly a month since I came back to the Philippines and exactly three months to go til my next. <3
This is the rotating tram car.

On our way down.

Desert View. 
And me. :))
Goodbye, Palm Springs! :)

Before I left for the states, I saw Santa Monica Pier when my cousin's son was playing with GTA. Haha. I was like, "Pupunta ko dyan!" Not even knowing how. Well, all the places I went to, I didn't know naman din how will I go.

What happened here was a Kuya I got to know and talked with for several times approached me and he was like, "Uuwi ka na sa Pilipinas?" 

I jokingly answered him, "Oo!! Di mo pa ko pinapasyal, uuwi na ko." Hahaha. Then from there, we kinda talked our free days out and he drove me and two of my girl friends to California! hihihi. That is more than 8 hours of driving in one day!! Someday, I'll have even more resources so I can bless other people too. 'Yung ako naman ang magpapasyal sa iba. Hihi. 

Left home in Nevada before 6 AM but we still experienced California rush hour.

After living in Vegas for weeks without experiencing heavy traffic, it was really a challenge not to complain... now think about how I feel whenever I get stuck in the horrendous traffic here in Manila?! Huhuhuhu.

Pano natin 'to napagtya-tyagaan?!

I mean, these days I kept on thinking about the time that is wasted on traffic congestions. Sayang!!! Sobrang sayang!!! 'Yung oras na worthwhile sana e napupunta sa wala. 
Santa Monica<3
 Finding some place to park the car at.
From the parking space we got, we walked towards the beach area.

It was a different feeling to be here. 


It was sunny but the air was cold. 
Santa Monica babyyyyyyy. 
My X tan line in my foot was already kinda visible in here. Hala, when did it get so dark?! E June 1 kami ata nagpunta rito. So sa San Diego lang siya nangitim? :(

 haha. My skintone got darker eventually from all the lakwatsa for three months and I still have that very obvious X mark in both my feet til now. But yea, be proud of our skin color! Haha!
The water was cold and I wasn't in the mood to swim hence, me in this attire. :)))
Sta. Monica Pier.

Better to go to a place once right than spend several times talking about it? EUROPE. NORTHERN LIGHTS. SOUTH KOREA. JAPAN PLEZ. 
Pacific Park Rides

Kami?

Pacific Park Labas haha! 
There's no entrance fee in here. As in you can just go there and swim.

And look how far the establishments are from the shore!!! Sana ganyan din sa Pinas. :(

Not the most beautiful beach I've been to but heck, it's still Santa Monica!!! Hahaha. GTA's Santa. Monica. California's Santa Monica!! And there was some dolphin ata or seal that swam near the coast. 

We don't have beaches in Vegas - we don't even have a lot of natural water forms there, it's a part of the Mojave Desert so beachgoers will still have to drive or fly out to California.  

Inclusive talaga nung pronoun eh. Us, Our, We, HAHAHAHA. Yes, Vegas. Whether you like it or not, you'll always be one of my homes away from home.
Walked along the shore for 30 minutes :))

Got that summer feeling in the US. hihi
And the obligatory write your name on the sand photo. 
Haaay. <3
Finally got see it in person!! :))
California Dreaming <3

California Walking <3

I shall be back!


For


California Working!!! <3


Char.

Las Vegas Working pa rin!!



So, California Touring! Or US Touring na lang kaya para mas masaya? haha. 
K. May sense. 
Bye, Sta. Monica Pier!!
FYI. There's no lottery in Nevada hahaha so when we passed by Barstow we purchased a powerball ticket telling each other that if we win, we'll buy a beach house too.

WISH US LUCK!!

Tuloy ang plano and so much more pag naka-jackpot. Tumataya pa rin si Kuya at may balato pa rin kami pag nanalo siya hahaha! At gusto ko na rin tumaya ng lotto dito sa Pilipinas. Hahaha. #parasaekonimiya #parasaworldtour :)))
