In the past few weeks (October 25th) I finally staked my claim. Sprinna is officially my girlfriend! So many events led up to the actual event, it was a great great weekend, a few weeks ago.
For starters, I dropped off my OEM sides and rear for paint, and my front for repair, so I was excited to be finally completing my lip kit. I dropped it off at my painter on that Saturday and went from his place to Mitsuwa Japanese market. Man, I love that place.
This was the first time that Sprinna had been to Mitsuwa before so it was definitely a cool experience. She was kind of surprised that it wasn't more like 99 Ranch Market. After we walked around and found the candy aisle, we bought some Hi-Chews and some drinks like Calpico and Aloe. Afterwards, I treated her to some legit Japanese food. We both got some tonkatsu curry. Shit was delicious! I wish I had brought my camera to take some pictures of it. Honestly, it made me appreciate an affordable and tasty Japanese meal. After that, we headed down the 55S towards the coast, and hopped on PCH.
From there I drove southbound until we hit Laguna Beach. There's this neat spot in Laguna Beach that overlooks a lot of the city and you can see the ocean. The only problem is that it's in the middle of a random neighborhood so I didn't quite remember how to get there. We ended up getting lost in this neighborhood but it was cool because we just spent time looking at all the awesome houses in that area. Ironically however, we became un-lost when I found the street I was looking for. After that we went on a short hike to some benches that overlooked the ocean. It was a nice way to spend some time with her.
We got kind of cold so we left and went back to my house. When we got there, I thought it would be cool to watch Planet Earth and eat popcorn. She agreed. My mom came home for like 30 minutes and left (mind you it's midnight) so it was just the two of us. I told her after an episode though that we needed to go to bed since it was so late, and since we had to get up early in the morning.
The morning came, and man was it FUCKING EARLY. I got up, and woke her up, and we headed out of my house by 6:00 AM. Hopped on the 241, then the 133, then the 405, then the 110, and took that all the way until the freeway ended. Where my car took me was a place known as Sunken City in San Pedro. We slid under the fence that separates the roadway from the ruins, and we walked to watch the sun rise. At the ruins there is a lot of graffiti and broken stuff, and this was also a really cool thing for her to see. We walked around a little bit and I walked her to the top of a mound with a piece of asphalt on it, and we stood there looking at the ocean. Pelicans flew by, the waves were crashing lightly, the sun was coming up, and the fog horns in the distance were soothing. Nobody else would bear witness to out time at Sunken City that day, which was odd because usually there's some fucked up hobo knocked the fuck out under a rug or something there. At the top of that mound, I held her hands tight and asked her to be my girlfriend... IN CHINESE! Not just in Chinese, in Cantonese! It sounded so awkward haha. "Nay seung mmm seung dzwo ngo gol luy pung yao." Chinese for AWESOME. She laughed REALLY HARD because she had trouble understanding, so I said it in Mandarin. "Ni yao bu yao shi wo de nu pung yao." That she understood perfectly clear and she said yes!
We left after shooting some SIQQQQ photos and got breakfast at a nearby diner. From there we drove home and knocked out. It was a great weekend and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
