- If you're a person that has lived on the east coast mostly all of your life.. and thought that California was the land of sunshine and beautiful people.. (thanks to the countless tv shows depicting Orange County) well, you're only half right.. it's not the case up here in North California. And this is how i'm experiencing it.

No communication throughout the Royal Caribbean Cruise!!!

[a quick summary of my week-long trip]

(old post from yesterday that didn't send.. still having problems with sending email on my treo)

(did you know that i typed the entire blog post below on my treo cellphone? .. i'd like to see you try doing that on a regular cellphone's alpha-numeric keypad.. haha)

Well I'm finally back. Not yet. I'm still here in LAX waiting for my
flight which isn't for another hour or so to board..

I was fucking relieved to see a terminal starbucks near my terminal. I
had to get a frapp. I didn't have any starbucks on the ship. *sips his
venti dulce de leche frapp* ahh... That's some good shit right there.

Anyways.. So I bet your wondering how my cruise went? Well, let's say
I didn't want it to end AT ALL!!!! I had the BEST FUCKING TIME EVER!!!
That definitely had to be my most enjoyable and favorite vacation of
my life. Why? Because of the (literally) many friends that I knew and
new ones I made there (including the ship crew members.. LOL).

Did you know I was sick the ENTIRE time. Since day 1, when we were
still docked on port. I walked to the back of the ship and didn't
realize the smoke blowing on the deck (due to the wind) from the smoke
exhaust. And so, I began coughing a lot. I coughed enough to throw
up. It was disgusting. I had to run to the bathroom to throw up even
more. I accidentally projectile vomited on the wall near the toilet in
a private bathroom. Hehe. I missed. It sucked. I somehow tried to
close my mouth when I coughed but vomit went to my nasal passage. So
there was snot and bits of food from lunch coming out from both my
nose and mouth. Sickening right? It gets better. I tried to blow my
nose and a HUGE piece of 'something' came out my nose. It was a big
piece of bread that I remember taking a bite of. Lol. At first I was
like. Omg is that my brain?! Yeah.

Later that night I felt so sick, I wasn't sure if I could make the
trip. I had that feeling where your body temp was really hot, but you
feel like your freezing. That sucked even more. That lasted for 3
days. My coughing is still continuing. Not as worse than before..
Since I finally have some cough drops handy. I didn't have any till
the 5th day when I bought 3 packs in George Town in Grand Cayman.

I was continuously hanging around people that smoked. At our 'spot'
and at the Viking Crown dance lounge. (did you know I danced like a
freak EVERY NIGHT at the ship's nightclub? Hahah) we'd get there at
like 11pm and leave at around 2:30am. I've been going to sleep at
around 3-4am every night.

I hanged out with my friends Marah and Valerie. We went EVERYWHERE
around the ship. Many ppl thought Val and I were in a relationship.
Heh. No. She's my dance partner. We had to admit that we were the
hottest ppl on the ship. There weren't that many hotties. Guys and
girls alike. There were a few, but we'd get tired of them.

Hmm.. What else to talk about.. Well, ill be uploading the millions of
photos and the videos I recorded on the ship, Jamaica & Grand Cayman.
I have lots of awesome photos.

Ok ok.. To sum things up:
-I rode on Royal Caribbean's 'Enchantment Of The Seas'.
-There was FREE food on the ship.
-I drank (actually took sips) of cocktails, martinis, & various other drinks.
-I was part of the 'wilder' group of Filipino teens that got drunk,
danced like sluts, took millions of photos, and traveled in a huge
pack around the ship.. We all definitely caused a commotion on the
ship. Hehe..
-I threw up about 3-4 times.
-I took a shower 4x (2 of them were in the same day) during the cruise.
-I spent a total of $15 on cruise's casino.. ($5 limit each day)
Interestingly named Casino Royale. I didn't win any payouts. Heh.
-Spent a total of $29 on rings and a cocktail drink in a glass that lit up.
-I bought $5 on a turtle souvenier in Jamaica.
-I got a free $100-valued 1-carat Midnight Sapphire in Jamaica for
attending a seminar on the ship.
-My group took a tourbus trip around places in Jamaica and shopped for
souvenirs.
-I bought (i think) $12 on a necklace and a keychain in Grand Cayman.
-I snorkeled with stingrays and got to hold one of them, snorkeled
with the tropical fishes in coral reefs & shopped for nicer stuff in
Grand Cayman.
-I popped 4 advil liquidgels (2 in the morning and 2 before bed) for
about 3-4 days.
-It was 50¢ a minute to use the wi-fi on the ship.
-It was $7.95 a minute to call anyone on the ship's phonelines
(regardless that I had a calling card).. Wtf.
-Attempts to exercise in the gym: 1, but left since it was packed with
people. Haha.
-Total weight I gained on this trip still needs to be determined.

Hmm.. What else to include.. I think that's about it for now.. Time
to upload those pics & vids!

Bing-Bong!
