(October 21)
I spent a day with my bestfriend since pre-school days, Joanne. I only see her whenever she visits pinas and we both missed attending each other's wedding days. So you can imagine, how much catching up we have to do. She brought Ethan and me to Pretty Woman's famous spot, Rodeo Drive and Regent Beverly Willshire Hotel, and the famous Hollywood mountain and lake, Beverly Hills and West LA, Staples Center and of course who would miss Santa Monica Beach.

After a day filled with photo ops, we went to her newly owned house, it was chic! And watched her wedding video while Ethan of course is doing his own terrible 2's menaces! =P

Then suddenly all this noise coming from fire trucks brought us out of the house, we saw a huge fire and drove around! It was the California Forest Wild Fire. I brought a camera and Gilbert (joanne's hubby) took some shots, grabe it was really huge! Joanne and her other sibling, Ryan were asked to evacuate their homes since it's very near the mountain. So we all spent another night at Tita Ninang Yvette's house. I was sooo tired and had no energy to make chit-chat. I even forgot to give them a mini-make-up session. But all is good, the fire was contained after a few days, nothing happened to their houses. I had a fun day and I will miss this girl again went I head to the East.
