Day In Your Life 008 - Karl Orotea - Burlingame - SDE
When I first had the idea of doing A Day In Your Life Project, I must admit, it has serval results for each person I have done. To be honest, I am planning on stopping this project temporary until I believe it's best to start again. I know for a fact I have a list of people that would like to be apart of it and I am very flattered. I had high expectations and quite frankly about 50% was only given back when I was aiming higher. I could of ended this with a bang, but I actually didn't want to do that because I knew this wasn't the last person nor the end. For now, I'm taking a break from it. With that being said, I'm just going to move forward and see the outcome.Day in Your Life 008 presents my good friend Karl Orotea. I choose Karl for a few reasons. For a young age, I must say he's been through majority of obstacles in his life. Karl shall be atteneding University of Irvine this coming Fall. One main reason was the fact Karl is going to be going away for college. Some of my friends went to serve our country while others either moved or went out of state college. It's one of those steps in life you make these choices to embark the "Real World" as others would say. Thats life in general. Some of these choices you either still keep in touch or you lose relationships and friendships. I see it happen all the time. Again, that's life in general, you make choices.
The day started off during the afternoon after I had to run errands and deal with some school issues and such. Afterwards, dropped by Fully Laced to drop off Mindy to work and chilled for a while. Jose and Brandon were working today and Brandon brough his dog Ziggy to the store. Ziggy was pretty dope that he could do tricks along with understanding the word bacon. Afterwards, headed out to Burlingame to meet up with Karl & met his friend Janna. Since I never been to the Fatlace Padlock before, we decided to stop by their first. since Karl knew the workers over their we chilled for a while. Met Todd who was working behind the counter and asked us if we wanted some It's It ice cream. That was the first time we were offered anything for meeting someone the first time. Very chill place to work really.
Headed to San Mateo to meet up with Sean and met his girlfriend Tiff. Chilled and caught up on a few things and found out that Sean gave his car to Tiff since Sean was getting a new car. Tiff's car was leaking so Sean was their for awhile fixing it. At that time, we were all discussing what to eat since we were craving some food since that is what Karl does best, have these food adventures. Afterwards, headed back to Karl's place to eat, relax and talk. Karl's sister had a very nice collection of vintage and film cameras which is always nice to see. Since Mindy got off work at five, I headed back to Fullylaced to pick her up and head back to Karls. Chilled and played Black Ops and found out that Karl is Pro at quickscoping.
Waited for Relle to go out on another food adventure around San Mateo. Ended up eating at some good Ramen joint and met up with Sean. Afterwards, we walked and headed towards Teaway and man this place is really good. Teaway is a self service milk tea joint and you can pretty much add what toppings you desire on your drinks. I ended up getting majority of all the toppings, but their was this topping which was popping boba and I never had it. Probably enjoy that one the most. Chilled, relax and played with the exploding bobas because we had the time of our lives with it. While walking back to the cars, I ended up having popping bobas explode at walls and resturants which was really pro and funny. Tried some rolling shots with Sean's car.
A lot of people say their lives are boring or not as thrilling and exciting as others, but the best times you have are with just good company. Those memories you build with one another shall last a life time and thats what it was really about today. Since I know Karl was leaving for school and I probably won't see him for a while, I was just happy enough to chill with him for the day and see what it was really like regardless if his days consist of playing Black Ops. It was nice meeting Janna & Sean's girlfriend Tiff. Nice seeing and chilling with Relle but most importantly thank you Karl for chilling and having a pretty chill day really. Good luck with everything in the future homie, until next time.
