...Welcome to New Angeles ... First flight to New Angeles. Yaahoo .......
└◌───❀*̥˚───────────◌───❀*̥˚┘
A meaningless scribble in my diary. It might sound funny but I certainly don't want to forget the moment where I first got on a plane. Yes, first time! So, I wrote it.
A pretty exhausting journey. But it's lucky my cousin and I arrived when it was night. After checking in at a hotel, we immediately rested so that tomorrow it could be fresh again.

...31 May 2013,...
...Rain ...? Are you kidding?!...
└◌───❀*̥˚───────────◌───❀*̥˚┘
I violently threw the diary on the table. It was raining all day in New Angeles. Today, my cousin and I plan to visit Glosy Tower, the tallest tower in New Angeles. But unfortunately because the unfriendly weather required us to stay in the hotel.
Earlier introduce my name Eriza Ravella. An ordinary girl who just turned 20 years old. I come from a small town called Losta.
This was my first trip to New Angeles. On my birthday two days ago, I got a present from Aunt Jane for a plane ticket to New Angeles. Of course the gift was not wasted. The next day I flew here with my cousin, Sienna Aeris.
Sienna's the same age as me. This is our second day in town.
Well, I admit being in a hotel room without any activities is very boring. While Sienna was fast asleep in her bed. Cold weather like this makes most people sleepy. But not for me. I can't even sleep. From the morning I was just grumbling about this very unfriendly weather.
I just sat quietly in front of the window of the hotel room hoping that the rain would soon subside. But baby, it seems like my hope is in vain. Until this afternoon, the rain continued to fall.
'Haaa .. I give up!' I said in my heart.
Tired of waiting for the rain that never subsides. I got out of my seat and walked to the bathroom. When I came out of the bathroom I found Sienna in front of the window staring at the weather out there.
"Are you awake?!" my many.
"He-em ... The rain didn't stop either, huh!" sienna.
"Yes, that's it. Go shower! After the shower we're down for dinner!" i said again.
Outside the hotel there were tourists chatting. There was a security guard talking to a guest. There is nothing interesting to see out here.
From inside the hotel appeared four youngsters with a man walking the lead in front of them. The man was about 30. I think they must have come from out of town just like me. And the man must be their tour guide. Sienna pulled me to the edge as soon as the group of young people passed in front of us. They chatted for a while while waiting. Then from a distance came the silver-colored Chevy Van stopped right in front of them. At the instructions of the tour guide, the group climbed into the van. Seeing the van that still leaves two empty seats makes the tour guide look confused. He looked back and forth like he was looking for something. And his search ended when he saw me and Sienna standing next to the entrance. The tour guide approached us with a warm smile.
"Hello, ladies! Looks like you're not citizens here. Let me introduce you to my name, Mark Carlo. You can call me Mr. Mark's. I'm a tour guide. This afternoon the group I'm driving will be heading to Dixie Holly in that van. And it just so happened that our van still left an empty spot for two people. Are these two ladies interested in joining us?" ask a tour guide named Mark Carlo kindly. Not to forget he showed his identification and identity card as a tour guide as evidence.
At first I was a little suspicious. I checked his identification. After making sure it was true for him, I returned it to him. But I still don't understand why he invited us to join his entourage just to fill the remaining empty space.
"We're from Losta. We came for a vacation. What's in Dixie Holly?" ask Sienna curiously.
"We will visit an old mansion called the Maera Mansion on the famous haunted Dixie Street. There are also many other old buildings. And if the ladies want to shop for souvenirs, many booths sell various kinds of goods at very cheap prices," Mark replied with enthusiasm.
Sienna exclaimed, "wow ...," with sparkling eyes. He seems very interested. Because Sienna is a fan of mystery stories. Moreover, Mark gave us a free ride. In high spirits Sienna persuaded me to come along. Before I agreed to Mark's offer I asked him.
"Previously .. sorry, Mr. Mark's. If I may know why you're so unwilling to let those two places go blank?" I asked Mark.
"Look, ladies, because this is a condition of the van owner, that there should be no empty seats or I have to pay twice the rental price of the van. They think it is considered waste. Although I don't understand what kind of waste. So I really hope you guys join me! Moreover, it is a free trip! I guarantee you won't regret it!" bright Mr. Mark is hopeful.
"Riza, come! When will there be another chance like this!?" sienna was so interested.
"We're going with your entourage!" I said to Mr. Mark and was welcomed by her.
"Yes!" sienna shouted in excitement.
"Let's go, ladies I'll take you!" said Mr. Mark was leading us into the van.
We sat three in the back seat with a young man and Sienna in the middle. I threw a smile at everyone in the van.
"Sorry before, what are the names of these two ladies?" ask Mr. Mark politely before he got into the van.
"I'm Eriza Ravella and this is my cousin ...."
"Sienna Aeris!" connect Sienna.
"Greetings then!" said Mr. Mark shook both of our hands. Then he said to all the passengers, "Happy enjoy your journey!"
Mr. Mark entered the van. He sat in the front seat with the driver. Then notify the departure to the group. "Okay, our friends are about to start the journey. I hope you enjoy it."
The van started walking out of the hotel where we were staying. The voice inside the van was quite noisy as the others were busy chatting and laughing. I heard Sienna who started talking to the young man beside her. But I don't know exactly what they're talking about. I was more interested in the night view outside the window.
The rest of the rain made the roads throughout the city wet and slippery. The driver drove the van slowly.
