Poconos [DAY 2]

On the second day of our trip, we went to Camelback Ski Resort. Since I did not ski, I watched everyone's stuff. Sam, our bro and her dad went skiing while our moms went snow tubing.

 

Sam being aesthetic with a pack of m&ms. They are normal m&ms; it's just different packaging. 

Peep that man in the back. He kept staring at me OD

 

Our moms went snow tubing which was a few miles away from the ski area. However, the line was too long so they came back with glazed waffles! 

 

It was really good esp. delicious since I was super hungry.

I ended up waiting for like six hours. I brought my 3DS to play pokemon but then I ended up taking a nap. I caught two legendary pokemon though! Well, Sam managed to catch a Laquaza with just an ultra ball which is near impossible and I caught a Deoxys with a master ball.

Finally, everyone came back from skiing and we went to an Italian restaurant (I forgot the name) for dinner.

 

I ordered a penne alla vodka. It was delicious; I finished it in minutes.

 

I quickly got hungry again later that night :((

 

Sam ordered a pizza. I forgot what it was called since it had a long as name but it had spinach and bacon toppings. It was pretty good; I never tried pizza with spinach before.

 

What a strange looking fork lol! I wonder what food it is used for.

 

Back in the room! Sporting my bun again :3

 

ootd: top from Uniqlo; it's a gift from mom

jeans from H&M

 

 I had a terrible sleep that night. My mom is the LOUDEST snorer and Sam took most of the bed. The heater was loud and so was the bathroom. The people next door won't shut up. 

Like I was so frustrated. I woke up at 3am, then 5am...UGH. 

I can only sleep in complete silence and darkness. Like even the smallest of sounds such as a ticking of a clock can make me stay up the entire night.

Anyway, I woke up like a bitch in the morning since I barely slept and had a bad dream when I did. We went to the outlet again since our bros and Sam's dad didn't go there yet. I got a pair of Adidas and eight panties from Aerie (it was 8 for $26.50 plus 20% off and also I got a free tote that's worth $25! :D)

 

Adidas Samoa

After shopping, we stopped at a McDonald's and then headed back to NYC.

Poconos [DAY 1]

I went to the Poconos with my fam and Sam's fam for the weekend! 

I didn't really want to go because I would not be skiing this winter. Normally, I go skiing with Sam and our bros every winter but my sprained ankle just healed so I didn't want to re-injure it again :/ (also I just simply didn't feel like it lol I dislike the cold!)

When we got to Pennsylvania, we stopped by Friendly's for brunch!

 

Sam with her salad. It is an entree but it is pretty filling since it has chicken in it. It also has apples which was peculiar. I never seen a salad with apples in it lol

 

I ordered the Turkey Delight (I think that's what it's called). This is like the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. They even have cranberry sauce! If you haven't tried turkey with it, you're missing out :p

 

I actually finished the whole plate. It was delicious (y)

After our meal, we went to get our rooms at Days Inn. I thought we would be spending our weekend at a lodge but it's cool I guess :d

 The room was the standard two bed and a bathroom. I hate it when rooms have the sinks out side of the bathroom. It's gonna be so loud when people brush their teeth -_-

 

After checking in our rooms, my mom drove our bros and Sam's dad to go skiing at Camelback Ski Resort so we can head to the outlet afterwards. We did some camerawhoring while waiting lolol

Sam got a clip-on camera legs that is like a reverse magnifying glass. It zooms out the lens which is why we look so far away- p cool huh. My mom also gave her a tripod for an iPhone.

 

lol my face is so round!

 

I cannot smile for life

 KISS MY FLAT ASS! :D

 

Turns out the outlet we are going to was the outlet I went with Colin and his friends when we went camping in the summer.  We didn't really shop that time because we arrived when it was almost closing time. 

The place was a lot bigger than we expected to be. It had a Forever21 and a Pacsun! There were amazing sales in literally every store even the designer brand ones (like 70% off in Coach). Their sales are better than the ones on Black Friday lol!

I bought a pair of high-waist jeans and joggers from Pacsun! The store was buy one get one free. I also bought some aesthetic socks from Charlotte Rousee (20% off socks or something lol)

After shopping for like four hours, we went back to pick up the guys from skiing. We went to Barley Creek Brewing Company for dinner. They brew their own beer!

 

We had to wait 20 minutes for seating lol but time went by quickly!

 

Beer cheese soup! I saw that on the menu and just had to try it. It tastes like regular soup. They probably had that name to attract customers so they got me :/ It's still yummy tho

 

Buffalo wingssszz!!

 

I ordered mac and cheese. I rarely eat this (elementary school lunch ruined it for me) but this is baked with five different types of cheese. It looks and tastes good! 

 We went back to the inn after dinner. It was freezing outside! It's like I lost all my body heat the moment I stepped out of the pub goddamn lol

We got back to our rooms and Sam used to shower. There was a spider in the bath tub wtf! She ran our of the bathroom in her towel cus of that. I was like damn you done already so fast! But nah there's a spider :((

I showered afterwards. Good thing I didn't shower first or I'll totally trip lol! Sam let me use her face scrub and face wash. It instantly made my face soft since I have been combating dry skin since the cold season started. Afterwards I used her charcoal mask since it cleanses the pores.

 

Lolol I look so creepy but my skin is so soft (it still is). I need to get that scrub. It's called Angels on Bare Skin by LUSH. Sam says it's $20.

I washed the mask after 20 minutes, played some pokemon on my 3DS and went to sleep. I slept well that night.

[Canada] DAY 4: Last day...finally

I woke up in a terrible mood. Everyone was to wake up at 5am meaning I (along with most of us) had only two hours of sleep. And I was in the worst state ever; I even had a headache. Mann why did we drink so late at night? (lol jk it was fun)

The last place we went to was a hiking trip to a forest in Albany.

After an hour of hiking, we went to a buffet for lunch. It felt great to sit down and just eat since we barely had breakfast. It was around 4pm and we were almost back to NYC.

When suddenly our bus broke down...

Like are you fucking kidding me. Apparently one of the screws in the engine broke and without it the bus cannot move. The driver called the mechanics and he took two hours to arrive. The mechanic took the parts and took it back cus he said he'll bring another part back to us.

...three hours passed and he hasn't come back. Our driver called the company and they didn't pick up. We assume that sick fuck just stole the parts and dipped.

After being stuck in the middle of nowhere (well there was an inn and diner so it wasn't that bad), another bus came as a replacement. However, our awesome driver couldn't be with us for the rest of the ride so another driver drove us back instead.

In the end, we got back around 9 and I got home at 10pm. My phone was at 11%, it was 20 degrees (I thought it would be warmer in NY), and I am on the Q train with my big suitcase with these strange men staring at me.

-__-

Anyway, I was tired and moody. My mom picked me up and bought pho for me so that made me better c: ♥

[Canada] DAY 3: Lovely day, crazy night

Parliament 

 Strange water fountain; there is a flame on top. How does that work?

Montreal Olympic Stadium

Montreal Biodome 

This was my favorite part of the tour. It is a large building that holds four different ecosystems such as a rainforest from South America and a forest from North America. It feels like we are really there since the climate matches the setting. 

omg my glutes are finally showing :')

 omg my hamstrings are finally showing :')

Vietnam Town

 Their pho tastes different than the ones in the US. It was delicious. We spent ten minutes walking up and down the streets, jay walking, crossing the street and back, deciding what to eat. In the end, out of the Chinese, Japanese, and fast foods restaurant. We chose to eat Viet food (we also spent another five minutes deciding which Vietnamese restaurant to go to ashdjk).

After a long day, we got back to the hotel. Since, Canada's drinking age is 18 we bought some drinks. I went with a few people to the mart to get them. We wanted to take the shuttle van there but it strictly only goes to the airport.

The driver was lenient though. Although she could've gotten into trouble, she dropped us off at the mart and gave us five minutes to grab the drinks and go. It was exhilarating but I hated the rush. Here we are, going to a stranger's van, and leaving to buy drinks, while the driver could have just left without us.

But she waited and we rushed back to the hotel. She's awesome though. Her life was cool and while she was telling us about her, she was smoking rum-flavored hookhah (there is rum flavored hookhah??). The driver dropped us off at the back door and we snuck back in the hotel. Crazy mann. We paid her extra ofc.

I slept at 3am even though we were supposed to wake up at 5am. The next morning was terribly shitty.
