Narrative:
On mar/xa/00 at about XY00, I was flying in uncontrolled airspace east of san diego at about 2500 ft in a C152. I was heading north, while trying to orient myself to the area. As I proceeded north, I looked up and saw an airplane about 200 ft in front of my aircraft heading west at my altitude. I took evasive action by turning to the right. I missed the other aircraft by about 100 ft, and then proceeding north and landed at gillespie field. I should have spent more time looking outside the aircraft and not looking inside the aircraft at charts and radios.
