I am now a .com
I’ve always wanted my very own self-hosted .com blog/site and guess what? I finally did it! Yes!!! 🙂
Since I was using weebly beforehand, it’ll take a bit of time for me to get adjusted. It’ll also take a good amount of time for me to “import” my older posts onto this new site but it’ll happen. (In the meantime, all of my older posts will still of course be available for your viewing pleasure at weebly. In fact, I’m thinking of leaving all of my older posts on weebly even upon completion of “importation” just because. And if “importation” doesn’t work to my liking, well, I’ll just create a page/post linking to all of my older posts. lol
BTW, if you’re wondering why I’m writing import/importation with quotes around it, it’s because I have to manually import my posts onto my new .com blog. Fun, eh? Things would be a lot easier on me had I used a different host, but I loved weebly for what it was. Anyway, that was why I said it’d take some time for the importation process to go through.)
Please be patient with me as I gradually welcome you into this new and exciting blogging journey of mine’s.

Toyota USA Automobile Museum

There’s a “secret” in the city of Torrance that no one knows about. Or at least I didn’t know about it anyway until I finally learned of it’s existence.
So, what’s this “secret” that I’m talking about? Well, the city of Torrance is home to the Toyota USA Automobile Museum. Say what? I have a feeling a good amount of Southern Californians did not know this. I also have a good feeling that a decent amount of people living in Torrance didn’t know about it either but I could be wrong.

Pre-Travel Worries
I have a trip planned. Although the trip isn’t in two weeks or anything, the reality is that time will pass by fast and before I know it, the trip will literally be in a matter of a few days.As excited as I am for this trip, I can’t help but to harbor a few worries here and there.
Let’s explore some of my so-called worries, shall we?

Peacocks, Lizards and Coyotes, oh my!
It’s been a while since I last posted something travel related. (Although I’ve been posting, most of the posts fall into a different category.) So, I’m hoping today’s post will be a bit of a treat!Not long ago, I had the opportunity to visit the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia, CA.
It was at this arboretum that I encountered my two firsts. My first first: seeing a peacock in real life as well as hearing it speak for the first time. Second first: encountering a coyote alone. Yes, I really did encounter a coyote… More on it in a bit.
So, it’s safe to say this arboretum is known for its peacocks. These birds are beautiful but they’re loud.

Goodies from EVA Air
A family member of mine recently gifted a brand new amenity kit from EVA Air’s premium economy cabin to me. It may seem a tad bit awkward and even insulting to a certain extent to be gifted such a thing but I love freebie gifts like this and this family member knew this. (Note to future bf/husband/friends/etc: do not assume that I’ll be ok with freebie gifts. If you’re not cautious, I’ll find it insulting…)
In general, I am a fan of anything travel related and what says travel more than an unopened, brand new and heavily radiated amenity kit? Hm…lol.
