Turns out Joe planned us a trip to ADVENTURE AQUARIUM on the outskirts of Philadelphia X3. It’s to celebrate our 5 years… even though it’s not till like Wednesday it’s rare we both have a day off together. I love aquariums so much!! Must have something to do with my mysterious obsession with fish D: And I had to paint my nails blue for the occasion apparently cause I’m his “little fish” XD <3 *lame* but... made me feel special.
The weather was horrible and we got lost on the was but turned out for all the better. Getting there later we missed all the stupid school field trips and had enough time to tour the entire aquarium by 5 o'clock... which was when our next destination opened up!
We went to this restaurant called Buddakan, like a modern Japanese/Asian restaurant. I’ve… never been to a restaurant like this before o.o It’s a 5 star horribly expensive restaurant with world renowned chefs and kiss ass service. Could imagine my surprise and how out of place I felt XD. The greatest food I’ve ever had T-T. And OMG wonderful (expensive) sake! Way to my heart is definitely through my stomach. They had a dessert bento box!! so cute! so tasty <3! Wonderful day... a couple of hundred dollars later... I don't want to think about food a while XD.
I'm feeling... a little more resolved with our situation after this. I see how things are changing... and I think getting better. I'm still afraid to jump to conclusions though. Afraid to just relax. But it felt good... to feel like old Joemanda again, like we were years ago. I really want to hold on to this as long as possible... I hope it doesn't end.

At the end of the day I got a call from Kim saying she had "news" for me about work? Couldn't get in touch with her though... maybe something good in my future soon? Lets wish happy thoughs for me ^ ^

Now on to pictures!!

June 10th was Joe and my anniversary so we wanted to go out and do something. Joe had the idea of going to point pleasant in New Jersey to spend the day at the beach. I really wasn’t too thrilled about it… as I’m not that much of an ocean fan strangely enough. But he reassured me if I just trust him we’ll have a good time. Sooo I went along with his stupid beach idea and sat in the car for like 40 minutes before I realized it didn’t seem like we were getting any closer to any type of shore. I was actually quite annoyed XD. Like 10 minutes later we turn into a parking lot in front of a store called “Bird Paradise”.
Just so happened that Joe was actually paying attention to the things I had been googleing over the past 2 weeks. I was considering getting a lovebird or a parrotlet as a little companion since we can’t have a dog or a cat… and while I love my fish and hamsters they’re just not all that into spending time with me XD. Sooo I was doing lots of research and had found the place (bird paradise) in NJ that sold hand fed parrotlets and I bookmarked the site. Stupid Joe had to go and surprise me with a trip to the store to pick out my new feathered baby ^^.
Holy crap the store was amazing. The store itself is like an acre or two in size and I think the largest on the east coast. You’re able to go into the “bird rooms” where you can pick out a bird and bring it into the lounge to play and decide if it’s the bird for you. Even if I wasn’t ready to buy a bird that day I could put a deposit down and visit him whenever I liked till it was time for him to come home. Seriously they must have had at least one of every type of parrot including the cute little parrotlets. We went through a few birds testing out the temperaments till I finally decided on Kiwi (named so simply because he’s small and green). He was the only one that didn’t bite even in the slightest… not like those little things actually hurt that much. We’ve had him 2 weeks now and he’s becoming more friendly everyday.

OMG he’s so cute. about 3-4 months old. He’ll never get more that an ounce or so XD. He’s learned to love head scratches and so far his favorite foods are blueberries and chilli peppers rofl. He’s more of a chicken that a parrotlet, he runs and hides in my hair whenever something scary comes along… like the refrigerator or Joe’s mother XDDDD. He gets his face all messy when he eats and then wipes his beak off on my arm. I’m trying to get him use to joining me in the shower but so far the noise gets him a little freaked out so just a spray bottle bath for now.

Today Christina came over with Lilu (lovebird) and Orion (conure) to play with Kiwi. We had like a small bird party XD. Little bastards spilled seed all over the floor and danced around for a few hours XDD.

He seemed to get along best with Lilu… probably because she’s not so big compared to Orion. She like took over his cage later on. He was doing these funny little territorial dances at her at first XDDD. He’d lift his wings and bob his head while making a car alarm sound lmao. She seemed unimpressed so he gave up after a while and just hid in his hut.

Over all fun day. I must have more bird parties, very entertaining.

I’m sure Kiwi will continue to dominate my blog with stupid cute pictures from here on every time he learns or does something new. *sigh* ah well. I think I’ll be good on the animals for a while (hopefully) unless I decide to get to get him a little girlfriend in the future…. *cough*

BTW Ayabie concert effen ruled <3.

End.
