Pre-Tet Motions

Today I woke up dreaming that my close friend Bill Steelman was still alive and that I visited him.  It was really real to me and I kind was on a high but crashed when I "woke up".  It also turned out to be the birthday of my deceased cousin today, Danielle, who would have been 15 today but she died about 6-7 years ago.  I guess I was a little overwhelmed this morning about the deaths in my family.  I don't want to elaborate too much about this one because it's just personal and two because I may potentially have to talk about this and share my experiences in light of our faith.  I'm fine with that, I guess in short I don't really wanna give too much away.  

Later on my mom, my little cousin Dayna, and I drove up to LMU to pick up my little sister who I haven't seen in almost a month!  I missed her and it's to have her back home.  We stopped by Costco in Los Al and had pizza/polish sausages, it was just a nice day to be outside and the sun felt really good on my skin.  After we got home I was asked to go to work by Jonathan and I did, visiting the kids always makes me really happy inside.  I love all the hugs and high fives I get from them and I am also glad that they still want me in their lives.  I am definitely considering returning when I have more time away from school.

Next I had dinner with Cat at Kabuki's happy hour, feasting on calamari, spicy seafood udon pasta (MY FAVORITEEE) and sushi rolls.  We both were oogling at hot workers and gosh there was a super cute server but I just couldn't man up enough to talk to her.  I sort of regret it I sort of don't care but it's okay :)  I headed to church to visit BASIC and then to attend Tet Mass.  I was really impressed by the organization and cultural displays of incense burning, praying, and dancing.  I'm proud to be Vietnamese and I hope that this year will be a great year for me and my family and friends.  I look forward to succeed hopefully.  Now I'm home and I know I should sleep because there's such a long day tomorrow.  A lot of cleaning needs to be done and things to get out of the way in order to relax and celebrate this weekend with the family!  Good night world.
