Independence Day

Yesterday was a holiday. I, James, Lizzie, and Penny were going to go shopping to Great Mall. I was supposed to drive, and I was going to go to James' home at 10:00. While I was having breakfast, Penny called me and said that she had missed the bus. We were supposed to meet at Lion Market but we couldn't. Thus, I went to Hankook Market and Penny also came there. Penny's friend drove for her. They didn't know the name of the market, but they knew it was on El Camino, so I was driving on El Camino. When they arrived there and told me the name, I already passed that market; Anyway, we met. After that, we went to Lizzie's home, James's home, and Great Mall.

Before arrived Great Mall, I thought there would be a lot of poeple there because holidays are usually on big sale, but there weren't. We went to a lot of stores. But I couldn't find any clothes I wanted. Thus, I didn't buy any clothes before lunch.


Cinnamon Cake. Lizzie bought it for dessert. I can't eat that kind of food;;


Penny and James


Me and Lizzie.



After lunch, we started shopping again~! I bought two T-shirts. There were not enough things to buy because other people had already bought good things.

We went back home around 3:40, but we had a problem. Actually, I had a problem. The problem is that I didn't know the road to go home well. In my defense, I just bought my car a week ago, so I don't know. I need to buy a map and memorize it. Anyway, I drove a wrong way, and it took 10 minute. Penny had to go to her work place until 4:00, but she was late because of me. Sorry, Penny;;

California Driver License

Yesterday, my driver license arrived my home. I'm going to hate DMV because of my picture. Who is it-_-; That picture isn't me. Anyway, I don't need to carry my passport anymore~. My license is my ID. It's so convenient. If I lose my passport, it'll cause some problems. However, I can just leave it at home. So~ good, man!


Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Santa Cruz with James and Alex. We're looking forward to going to there. Beach~! I've never gone to any beaches since I came to America. I'm supposed to drive my car to there. I heard that the way to Santa Cruz was kind of dangerous. Hahaha. It's OK, I can do it. Moreover, I have my insurances. Medical insurance and car insurance. Let's go!

Finally, I got my car insurance~!

I went to Farmers insurance company on El Camino Real. All of the officers were Koreans. The officer who counseled me studied at GGLS more than 10 years ago. She was kind and tried to discount the insurance rate. I paid $332.8 for six months. Myoung, who is my cousin's boyfriend's cousin and a schoolmate and a colleague in church, paid $270 for six months. However, I couldn't get some discounts. The officer explained that reason, but I already forgot; Now, I have only $22; I need to get a job to feed my car. I spent almost $2000 to get my car. My car price $1500, DMV resister $139, Insurance $333.

Anyway, after I got my car insurance, I drove on San Tomas to my school. It was so~~~ good. I used to ride my bicycle on San Tomas, but! no more bicycle, yeah~ Let's run Emilie!

One more day bicycle-_-

I didn't buy my auto insurance because when I got my car, time was already 6 P.M. Thus, I have to ride bicycle again. I can drive my car without the insurance, but my family and aunt's family will worry about me. Ah!! DMV! They are too slow! Nobody in Korea can work as slow as DMV! Anyway, I brought my car~ She is parking in front of my home. I wanna drive~

I bought my car~~!

This is it. Today I bought it~ She is Ford Escort SE. She was born in 1998. I had to leave it because she needed to resister at DMV. Thus, I'm gonna go to DMV after school in order to take her back. After that, if I buy an insurance, finish! Yeah~

Before I bought it, I and my uncle tried to find other cars on streets. We saw some cars, but no cars were better than my car. I could have bought '92 VW Getta. It is good that I didn't buy Getta. Its price was $2000, and my uncle offered $1800. We said we would call them back. When we came back home, I tried to find other cars on the Internet, and found my car. We called, visted and bought! I'm an owner driver~ I don't need to ride my bicycle any more~ Actually one more day; Tomorrow. Anyway, I love you, Emilie~ See you tomorrow! JJOK!
