Like a BAAUUSSS

I feel like a cop right now, slacking at work at 11 in the morning and eating donuts LOL


but to make myself look important & kewl, Let's just say IM TAKIN TIME AWF LYK A BAAAAAAUSSSSSS

WADDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAP PEOPLE! It's been a loooong time I've been to this blog! I hope you all are doing fine and are still alive and have not been tragically killed when a train ran over you but you were still alive when a half dead zombie stepped out of the train and started chewing at your limbs one by one leaving your corpse as a present for the microorganisms who fed on your flesh like there's no tomorrow and decomposed you like a pile of TRASH. YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT.

Anyways, I ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE BEEN DOING GREAT! :D I WAZ IN FLORIDA ON VACATION AND IT WAS THE BEST VACATION EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

I won't get into alot of details, let me just give you a brief overview and some pictures.

Houston,TX -> Click here to see the JURNEYZ MAP -> Orlando,FL!

Orlando, FL -> ONCE AGAINNN -> Cocoa Beach,FL!


15 hours drive but WELL.WORTH.IT!

It was a magical place. To be honest with you, I wasn't really excited about anything other than the Harry Potter theme park. But when we got there, I was sold right at the entrance. That place was as crazy as it gets!

Universal studio has two parks, Universal studios itself where they have alot of shows, themed blocks like old new york and some beautiful places from all over the world and the Islands of Adventures where they had these themed islands like the WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER!!!! and Jurassic Park etc.
BUT before you even enter either of the parks, There's a proper City Walk which leads to the parks' entrances. Honestly, I would've even paid extra to visit the city walk! It looks like a miniature version of Time Square, Just with a whole lot more to do! They have badass restaurants, shops and clubs all over the place! at night about 10 when the parks close, the city walk REALLLYYY comes to life! they have special performances going on and the clubs come to the streets! It feels like the whole city walk is a club and everyones dancing and stuff it was crazy and it seems like it never sleeps! We were coming back from the park after a mind blowing day and everyone was sleepyyy and shizz wanting to home asap but as soon as we got to the city walk, we stayed for about another hour and a half! and the best part is, the city walk is free; you just have to pay for the parking and that's it!

Walking further down the city walk, you come across a fork; On the left you have the Islands of Adventures and on the right you have the Universal Studios! for the first day we decided on going to the Universal Studios. Right as we crossed the entrance, It was a wholeee different world out there. It was like we walked into some posh 70's boulevard! there were classic cars parked here and there, the buildings were beautiful and the whole place just seemed perfect. FAST FORWARD. had alot of fun, the shows were crazy good specially Twister and this other one whos name I can't remember but THEY PICKED ME FOR A ROLE! I WAS ONE OF THE EVIL BUOY LOLLL They made a whole movie right at the scene and they took us to the subway where teh train collapsed and there was fire coming at us and there was a flood and the roof tore apart and a truck came rolling onto us and burst into flames hahaha It was craaaaaaaaaaazyyy! Then there was

MEN IN BLACK™ Alien Attack™

This place was something else. Live aliens (obviously made up) moving around, having coffee and working on COMPUTERS! They reproduced the whole MIB headquarters and then they send you on these kewl cars to a 'mission' where you have to kill aliens and each of the players are given a gun! two cars go out on a mission together, competing against each other. OUR CAR WON!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEH

Then there's Islands of Adventures and oh.my.God what a beauty. You walk into some African kinda themed place which is dripping with intricate details! It's a long walk and all you do is check out the whole town but it's an exuberant experience in itself. They actually sell quite unique things in the shops there like live clam shells with a pearl inside and souvenirs from the Middle East/Africa! 

I kid you not, the place is so beautiful you wouldn't wanna leave. Mystical Gypsy hut at the corner, small traditional houses and the lively atmosphere was just out of this world. It's hard to imagine how much money they spent making that place; Each and every attraction seemed like a Theme Park in itself like the Sinbad show and the Poseidon's Fury show, each of which had a proper old CASTLE/PALACE made just for them. and then obviously, the NUMBER ONE ATTRACTION IN THE WHOLE WORLD RIGHT NOW [fact], THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER! When I say it felt like the movie, I mean it. Everything was EXACT to scale. You start off at Hogsmeade, and you can see the castle at a distance which seems exactly in line with how they show it in the movie! Hogsmeade has a winter theme so the roofs of all the buildings are covered with snow and stuff it is just crazy. and as soon as we got there, it started raining which was a bit of a bummer but still it was crazy. ALL the shops from the game were there, including 
Zonko's joke shop,
Honey Dukes,
Gladrags Wizard Wear,
The Hogsmeade Station and the Post Office, and just about ALL OF THESE: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Hogsmeade

I BOUGHT DUMBLEDORE'S WAND!!!! and very smaxy bookmarks and POSTCARDS WITH THE HOGWARTS MAIL STAMP!!!!!

CraaAaaaZzZZzZzzyYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyy

THEN. THE. TIME. HAD. COME.

HOGWARTS!!!

IT WAS AMAZING! WE WENT INSIDE RIGHT ONTO THE STAIRCASE, AND THE PICTURES WERE ACTUALLY MOVING!!!!!! AND AS YOU GO UP YOU CAN SEE HARRY, HERMIONE AND RON's HOLOGRAM WHICH WAS SO REAL YOU COULDN'T TELL FAKE FROM REAL!
AND DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE ANDDDD.. that's it. I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE THE GREAT DINING HALL AND SOME CLASSES AND SHIZ but no. the castle was HUGE from teh outside but they didn't do the whole thing on the inside so yeah that was kinda a downside but other than that, hats off. AND THE NEWSPAPERS HAD A MOVING PICTURE OF SIRIUS BLACK!!!!

FAST FORWARD. Cocoa Beach. whattay clean n nice beach wah bhai wah. hahaha it was really nizeeee had a good relaxing time because  we needed a vacation from this ^^ vacation LOL! [there's actually a sign in the islands of adventures that says that ^^]

OH AND ALMOST FORGOT DISNEY WORLD HAHAAHA. we went there for a short while though, didn't go to any of the actual parks because no one was interested. instead, we went to the DOWNTOWN DISNEY!!
