I met Mireya from the MBA program downtown for breakfast to talk about my trip to Costa Rica. The first picture is of Lake Eola in downtown Orlando.
On Friday night, I was contemplating going to the Magic Game as it was Asian-American night and Shaq was being honored. I was also thinking of playing tennis. Well, it rained and I feel asleep, so my Friday was done. I am still tired. I looked forward to Costa Rica for so long, it is hard to come back to Orlando. I love exploring places and being in places different than me, so it was hard to come back.
Yesterday, I saw Cinderella. Afterwards, I went shopping at Dillards. The Dillards by my apartment is a clearance store, so everything is 65% off everyday. I still don’t go there much, but yesterday, the store had 50% off the 65% off. It took forever trying on clothes. There was a sign that said there was a limit of 6 items in the dressing room. I would take 6 items in and come out and look around and then stand in line with 6 more, etc. Some people took 6 in the room came out, grabbed 6 more in a pile they had, and continued. So they could have 18 items and just take 6 in and come out, grab 6 more, etc. without having to stand in line again. I finally spoke to the manager as I was probably there for 2 or more hours!
Last night, I saw Phillip Phillips at Universal. He is the American Idol winner. I think I am just annoyed these days. Universal crowds annoy me much more than Disney crowds. There is a difference in the crowds for a variety of reasons (mostly age). Phillip Phillips came on stage at 8:30 p.m. and first played a song I knew at 9:15 p.m.! The best concert at either Disney or Universal has been Smash Mouth, because they have enough recognizable songs to last the entire set. Phillip Phillips just jammed around not even really singing until his two big hits came at the end. (The computer I am using doesn’t have Movie Maker, so below are his two hits via Youtube). (Universal does have some nice places to eat including Southwest Moe’s and Menchies). Before the concert, I went on Transformers 3D and saw the Shrek 3D show/ride.
At 4 p.m. today, I went to the Easter Egg Hunt at Epcot. I bought a map and I had to go find an egg in each country. Some of the eggs were really easy, but I struggled with like 4 eggs. You were given stickers of the characters. When I found the Pluto sticker in Canada, I put Pluto on my map in Canada. The prize at the end was a plastic Easter egg with a character on it. I chose Thumper. In continuing my annoyance, someone left a big bag of McDonalds in the parking lot at Epcot while I was walking out – like they opened their door and set it out outside in the lot and left. I looked into the bag and saw the toy of the child’s meal in the plastic wrap. I looked around to see if anyone would see and I grabbed it. Ha. I now have a Thumper egg next to baby Ronald McDonald riding a tricycle.
I have two big events this week, so
