A Waking Dream of Mexico (LUZIA by Cirque du Soleil)
I am a fan of Cirque du Soleil. And as a fan of Cirque du Soleil, when I learned LUZIA would be performing in Southern California (Los Angeles and Costa Mesa), I knew I had to attend. So, did I attend? Why, of course!

San Gabriel Lunar New Year Festival
The dragon at San Gabriel Lunar New Year Festival If there’s anyone that likes free things, it’s got to be me.
As a freebie lover, I attended the San Gabriel Lunar New Year Festival, a free event held at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse.
Parking wasn’t an issue as I was able to park on the street for free. Their event parking lot was also for free but already full by the time I had gotten there and I actually had gotten there before the start time of the festival. Meh. So, even though I had arrived early, by the time I decided on a parking spot, the festival had already begun.

Anime Expo 2017: About Day 3 & 4
Blue Spring Ride
On day 3 of Anime Expo 2017, I had sweated my way to the JW Marriot to watch Natsume’s Book of Friends only to learn about 5 minutes before the showing (from an employee/volunteer) that they weren’t able to get a hold of it and thus won’t be able to show it… Can we say wtf? There wasn’t a lot of people in the video room to begin with but everyone present was silent. They all were having a wtf moment. I obviously was bummed out since I really wanted to see Natsume’s Book of Friends. Oh well, right?
Instead of Natsume’s Book of Friends, AX played Blue Spring Ride for us. I can’t tell you how close I was to leaving. I’m glad to have stuck around though because I found myself liking Blue Spring Ride. I think I liked it because I was able to somehow relate to the main female character. It also helped how the main male character’s voice was nice… Like, you make me melt type of nice. Lol (If I could fall in love with a voice, it’d be this particular voice actor ‘s voice. Lol)
After three episodes of Blue Spring Ride, the room got cleared and it was time for me to get some grub.

Hot country. Hot boys. Eels?
Central Plaza Ladprao (Bangkok, Thailand) had an unagi pie event, where attendees had the chance to meet and greet 3 Thai male celebrities on 3/23 and 3/25. (As if one male celebrity wasn’t enough, right? lol) The three celebrities were Boy Pakorn, Nong and Pat.I want to say that I was present at this event however the truth is that it wasn’t me that was present, it was my mom. I kid you not on this. -
Chinatown: Golden Dragon Parade and Frank Romero’s Art
Los Angeles’ Chinatown had it’s 118th annual golden dragon parade on February 4th. I had the opportunity to attend it for the first time and all I can say is that it was okay.
For the parade to be the 118th one, I was expecting something a little more spectacular but it really was just ok.It didn’t help much either that the parade didn’t start on time. In a way, this was a good thing since it gave me time to purchase food and find an ideal spot to view the parade.
