What the heck is with this posts title? Seriously, is it even possible in both cases? Well I’m certainly not lying! Actually it’s believable once you get the facts straight, but other than that it’s just messed up. Oh, and about last night...you know...me not posting. Well turns out I was really tired and I didn’t care much about the blog because the only thing that was on my mind was a good night sleep. Simple...excuses excuses...
How can I be on top of the world? Well...it’s pretty easy; I even have pictures to prove it, no joke! It’s because my aunt decided to bring me to this awesome place here in Seattle...or near Seattle called Rattlesnake Ledge (or something like that) and it’s a mountain that you can climb. Since the day was very cloudy we figured that it was the perfect condition to take a healthy walk in the woods. Why not? I don’t usually hike and do cardio but I must say that it really works your body and that in the end you can really benefit from it. At first the summit seemed unreachable, but once you get there you notice how easy it is and how much more higher you can go...like so much higher. On our way up we talked, and talked, and talked, and it was really fun to get some time to really socialize. Sooner the later we were on the top of the mountain...or of the world, as I should say. That place was high, and the summit was divided by this crevice in the ground that seemed to go down forever (okay, maybe not that bad but still) and the view was amazing. Here’s the picture to prove it.

On Top of the World

That was really a moment that lasts forever!

When we sat down to eat lunch we got our fair share of entertainment. This Asian family was also on the summit with us, there were many kids, and almost every family member was sitting on the side of the mountain, feet dangling in the open. There was this anxious mother, scared to death of heights (like me) who was constantly telling her kid to sit down and stop walking around. Obviously the kid found contentment in her mother’s fear because she just wouldn’t listen. Soon enough the mom started this anxiety attack and it was, I know it may sound weird, but actually funny. It made the moment so much funnier, not as if it wasn’t already!
Now, how did I go from the top of the world to China? Okay, maybe if you look at it on a more geographic point of view, the top of the world, known as Mount Everest, is close enough to China. But I wasn’t on Mount Everest so who gives...like really. The real answer to the burning question is...I was in an Asian market today! Such a different experience from your everyday supermarket errands. At first it seemed all fine, because we were in the vegetable and fruit aisles, but once we got into the meat and fish aisle it wasn’t a pretty sight. No joke, I saw decapitated bull frogs that seemed still alive, spitting oysters, and 3rd degree burnt ducks. The funny thing is I’m not traumatised at all...awkwardly enough.

Not really...

And did I forget to mention that we ate at this amazing Thai restaurant today, that I ate Tofu for the very first time in my life and that it was delicious, that I bought another pair of jeans (because I don’t have enough...right), and that I drove my aunt’s convertible for the very first time? Talking about the convertible I can safely say that I feel more in control in a smaller vehicle than in a big SUV...although when you hit a curve at high speed with a SUV you don’t necessarily tip over, nor do you get killed when your co-pilot tells you to accelerate in a curve when clearly you need to brake...hahahaha, moments that will forever stay in my mind!
And funny parentheses, my aunt started the radio in the car and blasted the volume so that everybody around could hear the music, and then we searched endlessly from channel to channel, going from rap to country to hip-hop to gospel to a guy signing a song about a bear...and finally Halo...what a coincidence.

I have said enough for tonight, there’s supposed to be a meteor shower soon enough...well at 1 in the morning and my aunt is going to wake me up so we can watch it, that’s if she can even get up. We’ll just have to wait and see.
I added two new pictures on deviantART, here's the link : www.cedricgigoux.deviantart.com
