My most awaited 3-day vacation to LA finally came. When I arrived at LAX, I got the tightest hug from my mom. I can barely breathe but it was most welcome. I love it. How I miss my parents so badly. One time, a piece of eyelash got inside my eye. I asked my mom to blow it. She kissed it instead. My heart melted. I felt like a little girl again. 

Our vacation was filled with so many activities. We spent dinner with fellow Filipinos, whole day at Universal Studios, and then movie watching at The Grove on Wednesday before our flight to Cebu. I had so much fun. It was all worth it. As I left LAX, I was feeling sad and wanted to cry. Unlike my first travel, though, this time it was also hopeful. Now that I can, we will definitely come back and visit often. As I entered the immigration checkpoint, I whispered prayers of great health and strong relationship for my mom and dad. Thank you papa and mom for that much needed vacation! We enjoyed the time spent with you. We love you.

Here are some videos. Mom and Dad singing duet, and dad with his friends.

Oh Cebu... I miss you too. I love to travel because it always feels so good to be back home. :)
