update: returning to nature

Sorry it's been a long time. Remember how I used to update daily on my Paris blog? That was certainly a different era.

So this whole camping trip in a couple of weeks has got me thinking how much I really want to get back into nature. During break, I asked Kuya to take me to REI so I can get fitted with some decent hiking boots. I even got a lifetime membership there. I got the Merrell Sirens, and they're super comfy and light.

Yesterday, I went on a very basic, level 1 hike at Lands End. I use the word "hike" loosely because there were people there "hiking" in Converses which have no support at all. I LOVED it. There were people out walking their dogs--there was this huge, adventurous German Shepherd going up inclines even I wouldn't dare do--and it was beautiful and sunny, and it was just probably one of the most favorite things I've done in this city which is not saying much since I haven't done too much here.

Anyway, I'm super stoked for camping and for hiking longer and more challenging trails. I even bought a California hiking trails guide book. Didn't realize there were so many trails!

Currently waiting to hear back on some film internships for the summer. Wish me luck!
