Family Fun

For the pass 3 days, I haven been enjoying wonderful times with my cousins and adding plenty of new mermories for looking back upon.

Woodbine Beach
The beach party was AWESOME! Dispite the algae-infested beach water, I had loads of fun! The weather man lied, there was hardly any rain. Just spitting down on us now and again. We played volley-ball, waddled out into the freezing cold water and took plenty of pictures. I met some incredibly friendly people and after that whole adventure, I came back smelling like the 4 S's: Salt, Sand, Sunscreen and Sweat.

El Trompo
Someone tell me what El Trompo means!
That place makes awesome food. It was really worth the long walk after my... strange and actually older cousin made some... strange decisions.
The dishes come in very small portions but the food is very decent and filling. The employees are also very polite. Too hot inside, they set out tables, chairs and umbrellas for us 10 cousins outside in the rain. It even gives the vibe of an authentic Mexican restaurant; oven-hot heat indoors, rickety wooden tables with pictures of Mexican culture related items and a women walking around holding a baby. HAHAHA, I'm kidding about the baby. But the vibe makes the place feeling... better? I don't know, I just loved it. It really brings you back to Mexico.

Shutter Island
Yesterday (technically this morning), 8 of our 10 cousins stayed up to watch Shutter Island, a movie one of them bought from HMV.
Shutter Island is a thriller, mystery mostly. It's basically about a U.S Marshall that is called to a mental institution on a remote island called Shutter Island to investigate a missing patient. He uncovers loads of secrets and finds out this island is more than meets the eye.
After I watched the movie, I was totally... speechless. The movie was FREAKIN AWESOME. I was so dazzled I couldn't do anythine except for clap. Now looking back at this movie, it was so mystical, I just want to cry.
I won't spoil anything but let me tell you, don't watch this movie if you're... not smart. (:
Rating: A Kajillion / 10.

Many other crazy and fanatical stuff happened that definitely made me smile.
I love my family.
