I feel sorry for the ones who live in Florida, esp. since a lot of hurricanes seems to be going that way...I remember I lived in Pensacola, FL. I went through Hurricane George...Hurricanes are usually followed by a Tornado in a lot of places in the mainland...It was a really scary thing...I never been through a hurricane in my life till I moved to FL...being home alone wasn't a fun thing either...so people told me if you see or hear about a tornado coming just hide in your tub covered with a blanket, or hide in your closet...I was so scared the whole time...So yup I feel it for Florida...I honestly hated living there in the beginning having no friends, and rude racist people who seems to hate Asian people...I use to with R to the mall, and go shopping at times by myself whiled he's somewhere in the mall as well...I remember going into this one shoe store...I needed help so I asked for help this young white girl she didn't bother with me yet she asked the older white lady right next to me do you need help with anything, and the lady goes no thank you, and then the younger sales girl walked away...this other time was when I was in this place called glamour shots where R and I took our xmas photo's to send to our family...I went in there to pick up our pictures, and this lady was giving me hell...so i walked out, and went looking for R...R went back in there and started bitching at the lady...after that the lady said i'm sorry...I was like to myself whatever you racist people who hate Asian people...I always got mistaken for Korean, Filipino, or Mexican...after that I never bothered to walk anywhere by myself before I might get killed or something...we use to have shooting not to far from where we lived near the Naval Station since we lived in military homes off base...I was like uhh ok...we also had a project gated thing next door...and this one time cops came by to each homes telling everyone to stay inside your house, and lock your doors because they are looking for someone, and they are scared the dogs might bite us as well...well the police dogs...hehehe...I was like what the heck...out of living there for close to one year I made one very good friend who was married to a Navy guy, and she was from Orlando side...so we became good friends...and whiled our husbands were at work we were hanging out, going to the laundry mat...thats where we met one day, and from there became good friends...when it was time for me to leave it was super hard leaving...we kept in touch over the computer when we both use to go on to AOL...she told me for the longest time no one moved into the house we were living in for the longest time...In someways I honestly miss living in the mainland...got to drive to many different places...drived to texas a lot to vist R's grandparents, and other family memebers...those were the days...I didnt really get to experince a lot of the cold weather since I was leaving Pensacola before it started to get super cold...I was there for the bad heat though...hehehe...I also got to vist Disneyworld atleast once so I was happy...took around 6 hours to get to Orlando from Pensacola...I thought it was super short to drive there, but nope...hehe...butI feel for the people in Florida, Alabama ect who are going through this hurricane sadness...
