Location: Orlando, FL

This is the third Disneyland I`ve been to. There`s two more that I still need to go (Paris & Tokyo). I didn`t really care for the rides, I just wanted to visit the Haunted Mansion and watched the amazing fireworks. I felt like a little kid again running around at the park trying to find Mickey and Minnie. Too bad the Toontown in this Disneyland was under a construction. But I did find them, and I got a kiss on the cheek ♥ Score! These are some shots I got at the park.

I`ll be graduating next week! Yayy.. I`m super excited, at the same time really nervous. Who wouldn`t? Finally four years of stressful days and sleepless nights will soon be over. It`s been a bittersweet experience. I remember all those times I had to run around to deal with the outside vendors to get things done, and it ain`t easy. They had their deadlines and I had mine, so we had to find a way so we wouldn`t pull each other`s hair. It`s really hard to keep our cool when we`re stressed. Plus, studying graphic design wasn`t cheap. All the printing cost more than I could ever imagine. The efforts that you put never seemed to be enough for your instructor. This bringing back memories where I almost dropped one of my classes because I couldn`t stand my instructor at all. Everything I`d done never seem to please her. So she made my life miserable. I cried so many times and reevaluated my decision to be a graphic designer. Of course I stayed and worked even harder. I had to be thick-skinned if I wanted to survive and tried not to let the comments get to me. I am so glad those days were behind me now. I know in the future it`s going to be harder, and there`ll be hurdles all along the road. But if I could get through that part, I know that I`ll get through this as well. Okay enough ranting for today, I have my website on: www.mikibong.com. You can check out my portfolio as well as other things. And let me know what you think, thanks.

I made my own calender and marked every important events for May and June. After my commencement I`ll be traveling for a little bit with my family :)

Mirror Lake would be my favorite place of the park. I was so lucky to have come during the spring time because in the summer and fall the lake is dry and winter it`s frozen. It`s just so peaceful and the scenery was breathtaking. The temperature was perfect, warm but not too hot. People were biking along the trail and children running around the lake. When I look at the pictures, they still put a smile on my face. I can understand why Ansel Adams dedicated his life preserving the wilderness.

No matter how sophisticated you may be, a huge granite mountain cannot be denied-it speaks in silence to the very core of your being. (Retrospect: Nineteen-Thirty-One)

We continued on the journey to the valley. And on the way we spotted the deers just standing there, unafraid of anything. I was too late to change my lens and we had to move on.

I visited the Ansel Adams` gallery. It`s not that big, but close enough to give a glimpse of his world. I bought a book of his, and read all the letters he actively sent to the government.

at Curry Village on the way back to San Francisco. The last day and it was raining, the perfect time to end our trip. 

I want to take this chance to thank each and every one of you for dropping by. Thanks for all the support. It really means a lot to me and I appreciate it.

I just got back from Yosemite (it was a super last-minute trip) for three days. I had a blast. It`s my second time visiting the park, but the first one was just a passing-through. This time I had a road trip with a friend of mine, and the thing about driving is that you can stop whenever and wherever you want. So I got to have a rather intimate experience within the area. Unfortunately the trip was mostly spent on the road and reading the map trying to figure out where to go next. I still hope I can go back there someday and see the coming of the sunrise.

We are quite the heavy packers. We stopped at Wawona Hotel, I love the white wooden chair. The place just looked so cozy.Bridalveil (beautiful waterfall)
