Happy 80th to my dad
For dinner we had the traditional long life noodles and yummy sauce my mom makes. I definitely gained a few pounds. Glad I can come this weekend and surprise my parents for his birthday.

SeaWorld 2023
Highlights are
- whale show
- dolphin show
- sea otter and sea lion show
- manta ride. Isabel and I went twice in a row
- turkey leg for $18 fed 3 -4 of us. Stuff pretzels $8 $ regular hotdog $11 and it wasn't big. Churro $11. Small dipping dots $11. I guess we are helping SeaWorld with their rescue fund.
- Alexis and I fed the sea lions as well $8 for 4 fishes and a bird stole one of the fishes from Alexis hand.
- one otter beanie for Alexis and one baseball cap for mom. smiles on their faces were priceless 🥰
Also went and had encounters with cleaner fish that nibbles on your hand and touched small sharks with two figures. All in all a very nice day 65 degrees
Tips
- they don't really check your backpack as long as it pretty small so could bring snacks and food in like a sandwich or something even though they say no outside food or drink
- going on a Monday has shorter hours but less people for rides. No need for reserved seating of front of the line pass
- buy lunch right before noon and eat it at the orca whale show as the lines are short. All visitors are already sitting at the show by 11:50am. 😬
- we bought tickets via city pass so it's $162 per adult for SeaWorld and 3 other attractions in one week.

Isabel’s homecoming video
Isabel 9th grade homecoming
She went with her best Zoe who goes to a different school. They had fun. It was from 7-10pm at her school. Very tight security especially around liquids which was great.
Isabel is 14 and 5'6" already. She looked fabulous. Many thanks to agnes who lend her this very stylish dress.

My Europe Trip Experience
I just got back from Europe and am happy to report that the trip was an amazing experience!
In Denmark, my team won the b-bracket cup and it was a great warm-up tournament for our bigger competition in Sweden. Compared to Cup No.1 in Denmark, the Gothia cup in Sweden was ten times larger with 59 countries participating.
There, we played 7 teams and fought hard to make it to the quarter-finals. We lost narrowly to the best team in Norway in the quarter-finals (0-1). It was a tough loss but we gave it our best and learned to compete at the highest level.
Overall, this experience has taught me how to be independent, how to be a better defender on the field, and how to be a better team player.
Thank you all for supporting me in my unforgettable journey!
