The last day...Tom really didn't feel like leaving. Started off the final day of celebration with some pasta and anime. What anime you ask? Lupin III: Fujiko's Unlucky Days. It was an okay Lupin III special. When the weather finally cooled down, we decided to hit Torrance.

Before going to Torrance, mother asked Tom if he would be willing to pick up Andrew and dad from the airport. Mom was too lazy, and I'm not used to driving on freeways. (especially that damn 405) We had to be home at 6PM in order to change and get ready for their call.

First, Tom and I hit International Costumes. It's basically where I do my cosplay shoppping. Well, since we were going to do Fujiko and Lupin at AniMagic, I decided to get my Fujiko wig. Tom needed a few accesories to go with Lupin. Afterwards, we checked out the vintage place, but it was closed.

We made a stop to Del Amo mall to get our Bemani fix. First, we did a few rounds of Para Para Paradise. Then hit a few rounds of DDR Max 2. After eight songs, I was worn out. We walked around the mall from one end to the other. Discovered that there's a two for one manga sale over at Suncoast. Hm...need to get manga before I leave for SSU...

It was getting close to 6PM, so we went back to the house. We took the van to the airport. On the way, there was a billboard that advertised Las Vegas' latest hotel resort CA SARS Palace. We arrived at Tom Bradley international terminal to get my brother and dad. Andrew told us about his adventures in Manila as well as being lucky to see The Eye.

After some unpacking, Tom and I decided to end this report with giving a few Traveling Valentine previews of what cosplays there is to come.

Finally, it was nearing time for him to say his goodbye...no...not goodbye, just a simple "ja ne!" Tried to hold back the tears, but I knew it was going to be a while until I see my valentine again. On the brighter side, at least when I go back to Santa Rosa, it's a 1.5 hour distance rather than a 6 hour one. Bye bye for now, Tom...I love you.
