New day more adventures - Gold Coast, Australia (Day 4-5)

              So when we arrive at the airport in Gold coast. it was like 12 midnight. It was still cold but at least it like 2 degrees warmer than in Sydney. So we use some driver my dad called to go to the hotel. Anyway on the way to the hotel the city reminded me of San Francisco for some strange reason. Maybe because they kinda look the same. Anyway we arrive at the hotel 20 minutes later. And the moment we arrive we all forgot that we did not have dinner yet. And that since its 12 midnight all the restaurants are closed. But luckily there was room service. So we just ordered room service in our room. After dinner we were all tired and fell to sleep the moment we landed on the bed. Of course we took a bath first (in case your wondering). We slept until 10 am. Actually my parents woke up at 9 and told us to go with them to eat breakfast. But me and my sister were to sleepy to go with them. So they just brought home some snacks for us to eat when they come home. Afterwards we knew that were gonna do a lot of stuff today sine we only have 3 days here. And the first thing that comes in my mind is a theme park. Because on the to the hotel from the airport i saw tons of theme parks. We passed through like 10 theme parks. I really wanted to go to one. But my dad said that its tom. Which made me feel kinda sad yet excited for tom. And my mom said were going to a farm. Its some kind of farm besides Movie world and Dreamworld called Paradise Country. Anyway were going there like right now. So we had to take a shower and dress up cause were going to Paradise Country.

My first day of school

   Well my first day was alright. But i had a problem waking up early. My sister had to wake me up because I really wont wake up. I was really use to waking up late in summer. But i got no choice. Anyway i meet up with my old friends back in school. We just talk and talk until classes started. And my class was alright when i went there of course i have to introduce myself in every subject. I notice that most of my teachers where guys. I have 7 subjects 5 were guys 2 were girls. But its not a big deal. My first day was alright. I have ti repeat the same thing for 300 days. Hope i will survive.

School starts tom

  I know that in the USA and Europe summer just started. But in the Philippines summer just ended and school is about to start. Its really sad though but i got no choice i have to face reality even if i don't want to. Like the saying. "All good things must come to an end." Okay i'll just stay home and just get ready for tomorrow.

Leaving Sydney and hello Gold Coast (Day 4)

   In the afternoon around 3pm my family arrived at the airport. And we were really early. Well its better than being late. Anyway we just stayed at the airport cafeteria. And just had late lunch there and just wait for it. We waited for 2 hours just doing nothing. My dad was just using his laptop and just working. I think he even had a Phone conference with his boss. Which i discovered that he's and Aussie. Anyway i just played with my Iphone my sister also. My mom and my younger sister was just wandering around. We just did this for 2 hours. After that we just waited in the waiting area or something for 30 min for the boarding. Afterwards when they announce the boarding of our flight tons of people were in line and my family just waited. Except for me i just went in line my dad just game me my boarding pass and left. So i went ahead to the plane. And went to find my seat. On the way i notice that im the only asian guy there (no racism just saying) I found my seat and there was an Australian guy sitting beside me he kindly went off his chair to let me sit i said thank you to him. Then i notice that im in the wrong seat. And saw my family sitting down looking at me and laughing because im in the wrong seat and that im beside 2 huge Aussies. Its not a really big dead anyway. The flight was 2 hours i just watch a movie on my Iphone and listen to some music. Also there was no tv on the plane. I thought there was because on the previous plane from Gold Coast to Sydney there was a tv (another story). But this time there wasn't. I was kinda disappointed. But o well. It was a 2 hour flight. And the good thing is that its 2 degrees warmer. I was kinda happy about that. Afterwards i got my things and meet with my family and find the driver and go to our hotel. We had room service at the hotel because the restaurant in the hotel was close. But it was alright the food was nice. Afterwards we just slept for tommorow. Also i finally get a bed for me to sleep but i had to share it with my sister though. But it was alright at least i dont have to sleep in the ground anymore.

Last day in Sydney (Day 3)

       Its my last day in Sydney. Before we go to Gold Coast, Australia. When we woke up we just stayed in the hotel until 11. And had breakfast on the way to the pier. To take a ferry to Manly Beach. We just stayed there and look around for a while. And had Lunch there also. Manly Beach was nice though. Afterwards we just headed back to Sydney city. To meet with my other relatives who are also having a vacation here on Australia. we just had a nice dinner on this restaurant but i forgot its name though. But the view was really nice. All we did that day was pretty much just shopping and eating. But we barely bought anything on the stores because everything is to expensive. After we had dinner we just said goodbye to them and went back to the hotel. To get some sleep for tom because were going to Gold Coast the next day.

going to Manly Beach - Sydney, Australia (Day 3)

        Around 1 in the afternoon. My family and i decided to take a ferry and head to Manly Beach. It took around 20-30 minutes to get there. And the ferry was kinda nice it has a cafe and wi-fi. When we got there well.. not much its just the pier. But when we got out well it was okay. But the first thing we did was head to the beach. There were a lot of people just swimming and surfing also people were having picnics there. But we just sat at a bench and had lunch. We didn't really explore the place. My mom and my sister just went around the one place and went window shopping me my dad and my little sister just eat and play at the beach. Also surprisingly when we went to the sand the sand wasn't cold it was hot. Maybe because of the sun well its not a big deal anyway. After 1-2 hours we left Manly Beach and head back to Sydney city. But manly beach was kinda nice there were a lot of memorial statues about World war 2. Maybe about 2 i think but thats something i wont forget about Manly Beach. Well anyway we left manly beach around 3-4 pm. But Manly Beach was okay though.

Watching a movie on the biggest IMAX Theater on the world!!! - Sydney Australia (Day 2)

   My family and I were going to a resturant for dinner. And on the way i saw a Huge IMAX. I really wanted to watch but my uncle told me that its 20 dollars for a ticket and extra 10 for snacks. But i still wanted to go, Cause i know my parents will pay for it. While they were ordering there meals i told my dad that i'll just watch a movie and eat there while there having dinner and just come back when the movie is done. But my dad simply just said okay without. But i ask him to go with me there. So after he ordered his meal he went with me to the IMAX theater. While we were going there i told my dad that i wanted to watch Pirates of the caribbean since it just came out like a week ago and i really wanted to watch. And by luck when we arrived it was almost gonna start. I knew that since its a Monday night theres barely anybody there watching. So anyway my dad bought me a ticket of the Pirates of the caribbean movie also popcorn and coke and left he also gave me the hotel card in case there not there i'll just go back to the hotel. I just said yes since its near the Theater and i know how to go there. And i have a phone just in case something happens. My dad left me and i went to the movie theater. When i went there It was really huge i was amazed and impress by the size of the movie screen. Well anyway there were alot of people. Not what i inspected but o well i dont really care anyway. SO when i went to my seat and waited for the movie. When it bagan i was kinda disappointed because they only used half the screen but it was still big anyway. And its not some special IMAX movie anyway. So on the middly of the movie i had to go to the restroom but i tried to hold it. Maybe because i drank alot of coke and water. 10 minutes later i cant hold it and immediently ran to the restroom i felt like i had adrenaline becuse i didn't want to miss anything it took me like 3 minutes to use the restroom and i ran back to the theater i only miss a small part so i was kinda okay. After the movie it was around 9 pm so i knew that they weren't there anymore. So i was just thinking of going back to the hotel. But to my surprise my family waited for me and we went back to the hotel. On the way they just ask me about the IMAX theater and the movie. We just talk about it and went back to the hotel to get some sleep. When we arrived at the hotel room I had to sleep on the floor becasue theres no more space and the comforter really hurts. I was lying on the floor with a bad comforter with a blanket and a pillow for like 3 hours trying to sleep then i couldn't take it anymore i just went out and just jump on the bed and sleep. But there was one thing my dad was snoring so loud it was like he was shouting. But anyway I didn't really care and i was able to sleep. On the morning when i woke up i didn't realized it but the "comforter" was just a blanket i was like kinda pissed. But my dad wasn't around though and when he arrived i forgot about it (at the time). Well The end. And also i watch the movie again in 3D on a regular movie screen to see the part i missed. Back in the Philippines The when i watch it the screen was small and it was harder to see everything, But compare to the IMAX everything was bigger and clearer to see. Maybe because the screen was 4 times the size of the regular movie screen. Anyway The End.
