| Because I forgot my camera EVERY SINGLE day!!!!! ughhhhhh!!!!
Thursday morning I picked up Yoebo from the airport and then we went to my house to make lunch for my PICNIC with my friends. Yoebo did all the cooking :) But from the house to the car I dropped everything!!! So we had to go to safeway and buy lunch. We met up with everyone at the park and had a picnic. At first we thought we didnt have enough food because everyone was starving but turned out to be more than enough. But we like eating so much that we all went to get ASIAN DESSERTS. Afterwards was meet the parents dinner.. dun dun dun. Mum must have thought he was okay but she was okay with us going to see a movies afterwards. Law Abiding Citizens.... Highly recommend it, except the first 20 minutes. DON'T WATCH IT. Trust mee!! The movie is about an average man, whose wife & daughter gets raped and killed, turn genius murderer to teach the justice system a lesson because the raper gets to go free. On a side note if anyone already saw it... who is the accomplice?!
Friday we went to San Jose and ate at the most spicy place I could think of. But yoebo said that it was just normal -__- Then we went to buy some wedding stuff!!!!!..... for my brother's wedding. I tried to take him to try crawdad but they ran out and only had the frozen ones :( Dinner with mum again at a Korean restaurant where not only did we order too much but the waiters gave us even more free food because Yoebo talked to them in Korean. I wonder what he said -__- He must have been quite the flirt!!!
Saturday I worked all morning. Afterwards we headed to Pier 39 and had lunch at the Crab Stand. Best crab ever! Only because I was STARVING. Then we walked the Maritime Museum pier but decided not to go on the boats. The day ended with Ghiradelli hot fudge sundaes!! Yay!!! Yoebo got lost driving himself back to the airport and I wasn't much help seeing as I slept the whole ride. I woke up half an hour later and saw that we had been going the complete opposite direction!! *sigh*
And now Yoebo is home. And ignoring me because it's Football Sunday :( | | |
| The house phone rang. I usually ignored it but something made me pick up this time.
It was a voice I haven't heard in a long time. It was my dad's adoptive mother, well into her 90s now. My mom and aunt had tried to contact her when my dad passed but were unsuccessful. We hadn't heard from her in months even prior to my dad's passing.
She was in her 70s when I first met her at church. My dad befriended her and my parents often visited her in her nursing home as her own children had abandoned her. I called her grandma. And as senile as she seemed, she always remembered who I was. Every New Years she would give me a red envelope with $20 inside. That was considered quite as lot as she only gave all the other children $1 bills.
She called today and asked to speak to my father. I wasn't sure how to answer so I told her I would give the phone to my mother instead. "No, your father" she said. But I handed the phone to mum anyways. Mum asked her the usual "How have you been?" "Where have you been?" "Why can't we get a hold of you?" She chuckled like a gentle old woman and asked for my father instead. My mom teared up and choked. "Mom, please pray for your son. He passed away 2 months ago..
"No, he's passed away!...
"2 months! 2 months mom!
"Mom! He's gone."
Maybe grandma had a hard time hearing or maybe she refused to believe it but mum had to repeat herself multiple times. Mum's own tears were accompanied by a wailing I could hear from the other end of the phone.
*sigh* | | |
