Saturday night: arrived from Oakland after being delayed. James, my mom, my sister, and I went to Guppys. The beef noodle is super spicy. But we had brick toast..mmmmm...yummy.
Sunday: I don't remember. Oh haha..I went to perm my hair. My sister was supposed to make the appointment for 10:30am..but the hair stylist heard wrong and put us down for 4:30pm. But we went at 4pm and finished at 7pm. It was expensive..but well worth it in my opinion.
On the way there my sister and I were confirming my plans for Disneyland on Monday and just as I was telling her that I won't flake or something, I realized that I forgot my gift certificate that she bought me and James a long time ago. I left it in Berkeley!! NOOOOOOO...epic fail. I was sad and I think I made her sad because she was gonna go and eat with me and James because it was her bday and she would get in for free. (anyways more on that later)
Then got home and had hotpot! Mmmmm...hotpot is our all celebratory food. We eat it for every occasion. the celebration was for my sister, my aunt and my cousin in law's birthday. WOW..so many people. We ate, talked and discussed many things like weddings, old people, jobs, etc.
would you rather have a huge diamond and no wedding or wedding and really small diamond?
HAHa...anyways, lots of talking and found out that my 30 year old cousin Monica and my 26 year old brother has facebook. I added my brother..LOLLLOOL..but I don't think he will add me. He said that he only has it for a few good friends. He only has 13 friends LOL. My brother also said that facebook was for attention whores.. and my cousin Millie and I look at each other and agreed that we were attention whores. Her more than me =)
then TWO cakes. one was coffee creme bule and the other was mint cookies and cream/vanilla ice cream cake. SO delicious.
after cake, there was more talking and a bit of drama. It was a clash between old school people and the college students, me, millie and miranda (my other cousin). But it was mainly me against everyone else. HAHA..that's what happens when you get me riled up about something that I think is wrong. I feel that people have to make their mistakes and that parents should trust that they did a good job in raising their kids that they don't have to worry about their kids making bad decisions. But I guess I can only say that about myself.
It was a fun night none the less.
Monday: James came to play with me. We pick up my cousin Miranda who has a Disney pass and we head to Disneyland to meet my sister. The plan was to get shopping passes and go in to have lunch with her. But unfortunately they don't do that anymore. So Miranda went with my sister to get her pass and bring out lunch from pizza port. My sister was applying her bday ticket to a pass (lucky her!) SO they decided to take the monorail but that took a long time!
Meanwhile, James and I were shopping for a pin (because I forgot my publications editor pin). Then we went to buy drinks for lunch and he convinced me to get some bengeits. Basically they are rectangle donuts covered in powdered sugar. Our mouths were watering while we waited for my sister and cousin to meet us. They finally came and we ate some awesome Disney food. Then we toasted to each other with our bengeits. IT got really messy and powdered sugar went everywhere. Mostly on James because he is a fatty.
We walked around, played at the lego store and left. We came back home, dropped off Miranda, and picked up another cousin, Millie. Then James, Tina (my sister), Millie and I went to Boiling Crab. We ate king crab legs, shrimp, fries, and sweet potato fries (my favorite!). We left really smelly and happy. I was really scared for my hair because I can't wash it for 3 days and I had stinky seafood hair smell. HAHA..so I tried to run and air my hair out. They were all pretty disgusted. We came back and ate the rest of the ice cream cake. YUM.
Tuesday: I ate lunch with my high school friends Nancy, Gary and Daniel Hong. We ate a Taiko a really popular Japanese restaurant in Irvine. They gave so much food that when I was full, it looked like I hadn't touched. Daniel left and we went to coffee bean to meet up another friend, JeeYoon. I love her and Nancy so much. They are such awesome people..fun and funny, and we have the strangest conversations ever! No matter how long we go without talking, we always catch up and it feels like no time has passed since we were last together.
We talked and talked and talked..all while Gary sat there..silently listening. HAHa..yeah..Gary is cool like that.
Then I came home and talked to James and talked to Alex. Kinda weird talking to Alex because we never talk during break...haha..but it was good..much better than wondering what he has been up to. Then I went to dinner with my sister and her friend Kenny at the Melting Pot. OMG. It's like delicious heaven. First there is a cheese fondue, then a broth fondue for meat and seafood. Then the last part is DESSERT! We got the flaming turtle chocolate fondue. It was caramel, chocolate with pecans and then flambed at the table. We got assortment of marshmallow, pound cake, brownies, strawberries, and rice krispies. I wanted to lick the pot of chocolate...but then I would get really bad tongue burn. My sister got a huge strawberry with a candle on it. It was cute but the strawberry was HUGE. It was the size of my fist. Maybe bigger. She ate the whole thing. Kinda gross. HAHA..
It was a fun 3 day birthday celebration for my sister. I hope she wasnt sad this bday like she was on all her other ones.
Happy Birthday Tina! I love you!
Wednesday:
(WAHHHHH..this is the third time I am writing this part)
I woke up and got my nails done with my mom. Then I hung out with my high school girls. Well, I have know most of them for 10 years..since middle school. We went to Fashion Island and then talked and just walked around and talked more. All we did was talk. It so weird how close we have grown these past 4 years. Whenever we get together it feels as if no time has passed. Even if we don't talk or see each other during school, we get together and then just blab and blab and blab..haha. I love these girls so much! I really would do anything for them. I know that no matter where we are or what we are doing, we will always be there for each other.
Thursday: Woke up early (sorta) went to buy some jeans. A few of my jeans are starting to rip (because I have giant thighs that collide =( ) Then James and I were off to Hacienda Heights to meet up with Alex and Cheriz. We got there and got to visit Alex's house. Then we went to Banana Boat, a really yummy thai place. I got some boba then we went off to do some DCON errands.
Then we were off to District Convention. We had dinner and received picture frame from Chris. It was super nice. Then we practiced our opening show and other DCON prep. It was really great to be with everyone again. To be honest, up until January, I felt that I didn't really connect with District Board. I think i just didn't open myself up to them and didn't accept them into my heart. But as I got to know people individually, I realized that we had a special connection. We really fit with each other. Even though the guys are perverts..I know that they are really genuine and caring inside. DCON was awesome. I wish we got to hang out with Berkeley. Looking at the pictures..it was like we weren't there *tear* But more about DCON some other time. Lots of awards, crying, not sleeping..that's all.
My Love!
