A Peek Into My Mind

Have you guys seen “Yes Man” with Jim Carey? If so, you’ll know that he said yes to anything and everything.
I’ve taken on the title of “Yes Miss”. Although, I’m not going to say yes to everything that comes along my way, I will really consider it.

I didn’t consider hiking to the Hollywood Sign. I said yes right away.
I woke up early to join Kuya Noel and Jo Anne, along with her brother and his friends to trek a trail. I’ve hiked before with my Ate, and I was skeptical because I knew how much trouble I had going up a mountain the last time. But, I put that in the back of my mind and just went for it.
Yep, that’s me “going for it” about 20 minutes into the hike. I thought to myself, “What the heck did I get myself into?! Why the @#!$ did I agree to this?! Didn’t I learn my lesson the last time?” My ears started hurting so badly I wanted to cry and I puffed my inhaler a couple of times while Kuya Noel and Jo Anne’s backs were turned. I didn’t think I’d make it the rest of the way, but after about another 20 minutes of huffing-slash-puffing, plugging my ears and almost wanting to die, the hike all of a sudden became a breeze!

Because of my slowness, we were behind the rest of the group by about 30 minutes. That was fine with me because we took our own trail… stopped to look at “geological formations” and took photos!
I thought these series of photos were cool. We have some in front of the Hollywood sign… You can see one of the photos 2 posts before this one.
We look like we’re having a good time, right?

We’re rebels! We don’t follow the law.
No ONE tells us where to go or where NOT to go!
Especially not… “THE MAN”.
Did you know the Hollywood sign is actually blocked off to hikers because people like to vandalize it? We had no intention of doing that, so we felt we were committing no crime when we climbed under a fence to see it.
This is about as close as we got to the famous sign.
We ducked behind some bushes when we heard helicopters flying over head of us.  Yeah, we hid! LOL.

I don’t know where Jo Anne and Kuya Noel were looking at… but they weren’t looking in my direction… or were they?

But what an incredible hike!!
I’ve lived in LA for almost 30 years and this is the first time I’ve ever done this… and I’m so glad I did it too!
Woot!
Thanks for inviting me, guys!!
