I passed my driving test. Finally. My permit was going to expire, but I managed to pass on time. In the meantime, I went to Echo Park on Saturday to see the Lotus Festival under the scorching sun. I finally got to see the Taiko. I've been looking forward to this since years ago. I always go there every year, but never stay until Taiko starts. The group playing was getting people's attention. I've seen better though. Luckily, my mom and moi were sitting on our butts all day to save the seats and watched it perfectly. After Taiko finished, the fireworks started. It was beautiful. It was definitely worth getting sick for this one night. I wish to see it again next year.
