California 2025 Highlights Pt. 3

Rainy days in LA

Since sobrang konti nga ng kaalaman ko about LA, nito ko lang nalaman na hindi pala karaniwan umuulan sa LA. Kaya niloloko nila kami na kami yung nagdala ng ulan kasi maulan nung week na punta namin. Ngayon ko lang din nalaman na since hindi nga maulan dito, ito yung ideal place mag-shoot ng movies, plus idagdag mo pa yung varied landscapes like mountains, beaches, and deserts—a perfect shooting location. Good to know.

More than the popular spots, I was more amused looking at pretty houses, palm trees, plants and shrubberies that look new to my eyes, and all types of cacti. To be honest, kahit hindi na kami bumaba ng sasakyan. Kahit mag drive along lang kami sa mga neighborhoods, busog na yung mata ko.

Nung walang makitang parking si Kuya Lemz para makapagpa-picture kami sa street lamps ng LACMA, sabi ko kahit wag na. Masaya na kong nakita ko yung installation. Sabi nila overrated, pero natuwa naman kami ni Kenneth. It was still cool to see in person. But Kuya Lemz insisted and dropped us off in front of the lights, then nagpaikot-ikot na lang sya habang nagpi-picture kami.

📍 Los Angeles County Museum of Art

For our second and last full day in LA, dinala naman kami nina Kuya Gino and Ate Cielo sa museum. Since maulan pa rin, an indoor activity was a good idea. Nag-enjoy din kami dito ni Kenneth. Dito namin nalaman yung mga fun facts about Hollywood (Hollywoodland pala sya dati) at sobrang natuwa ako dun sa Barbie exhibit.

But before that, tinanong muna nila kami kung san talaga namin gustong pumunta. Sabi ko sa Levain Bakery hehe. Gusto ko ulit matikman yung dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie nila. So they drove us to Beverly Hills to get some yummy cookies!
