Hey Everyone. Well, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We’ll my turned out to be Not extravagant as I wanted it. I had better Thanksgivings. I miss having everyone home for the holidays. It was last minute that we had to cancel our dinner plans since my dad and the guys didn’t want to come home for thanksgiving. Hopefully this weekend they’ll come home for a late thanksgiving dinner. But they’re probably not. I really miss home. I’m very grateful that I still have my family. Even though I don’t see them much, but that’s what makes me appreciate the time I have with them even more. I miss my dad telling me to get him a fruit or something from the fridge and bring him a small knife and a plate to put the peelings in. After he peeled it, he would ask us if we wanted a slice. These little things really do get to me. I miss having my family around. So every time he comes home I would ask him if he wanted something from the fridge instead. Last night when my mom asked us to pray nightly prayer, it just made me miss the times that I prayed with my whole family at home on our big comfy couch. We would sometimes get sleepy on it during prayer time too. It really sucks during the holidays over here, right now. Nothing beats the Holidays in New Orleans. Nothing beats New Orleans period.
Anyways, I had another embarrassing moment last week. My car didn’t want to start. It was very aggravating because I didn’t know what to do and look like an idiot. But it was okay, I was only stuck out there for about 45 minutes or so until my brother in law came to help me out. Now I know how to jump start a car. Another one on my accomplishment list, next to changing flat tires. Also, during the week I lost a lot of money. I don’t know how but I’ll be more careful now. This was my first time losing so much money man! But it’s okay because my sister said something in Vietnamese that means, “you’d rather lose money than a person.” (cua thay di nguoi) Which means everything happens for a reason… when you lose an earthly possession; it was a trade from losing a member of your family. I guess everyone who lost their homes during Katrina, still have their family members right? As the week passed, I heard that the there’s people who wanted to make Versai into an Airport. It just made my week even worse. I think this is the lowest point of my life dude. But It’s okay…. I’m hanging in there. =) all smiles babes. Embarrassing moments can’t bring me down. I won’t let a few bad grapes spoil my wine. I have the people that loves me to pull me through this. Thank you Lord! Oh yeah.. been praying a lot more now too.. I been trying to do the whole rosary, but I always fall asleep during my last ten. Hopefully it don’t happen again, but I know Mary loves me
HmMmm… so I’m reading a very good book! It’s called “Memoirs of a Geisha.” This may sound familiar because it’s coming out into theaters in December. It’s like watching Phim Tau dude! Can’t put that book down. The main character has gray-blue eyes, just like me! Well, of course mines aren’t natural. But what a coincidence that her eyes are the same colors I liked for my eyes. This made me like it even more! This book kept me company on Thanksgiving Day. Thank God for good entertainment. This concludes my Thanksgiving entry. Dude, I’ve been writing such long entries, I hope I don’t bore you all.
