Real fast. I saw a lot of people today that I haven’t seen in a really long time. It was wonderful. I met up with Jesse and Eva for lunch at the newly remodeled Panda Express in Ackerman Union. Yum! I missed it so much. Though we were restricted on time, we talked a lot about the things that are going on in our lives. We were sad that Vanessa and Lisa couldn’t make it. (Working on campus does have its advantages because I can still have lunch with old friends. But it's so weird that my old lunch bunch are all no longer working in this area.) I am seeing Eva more often now. It’s really nice, especially since I will be seeing her tomorrow and Sunday. Anyway, they both gave me validation on a few issues that have been looming in my head and I finally have a sense of liberation in my soul. The Panda was good too and I am happy to announce that they finally have Kung Pao Beef.

I was finally able to go to Indo Café with Aussie. She’s been talking about this place for months. It was very good and I am glad that we went. I've never had Indonesian food and I am glad that I was able to experience it with her, my fellow Southeast Asian friend. I hadn’t seen her in weeks. She always has great stories to tell and lovely insights. We get along so well, even after all of these years and even after our schools competed against each other in so many events in high school. I want to see her more and I think that it will happen and that makes me delighted. We even met a new friend over the course of our dinner. So random, but nice.

I went to see my mom today. It’s funny that I always get lost to her house. I’ve been there plenty of times, but the neighborhood looks so different at night. I hate driving on the freeway too, so it was a bit frustrating. I didn’t stay for too long because it was getting late. But overall, it was a good visit. We actually didn’t talk too much. I am jealous of those that can talk to their mothers about everything. Though we geographically live closer to each other, our relationship is slipping farther away and I don’t know if I can do anything about it. I don’t know her anymore. I don’t think I ever did or remember ever doing so. It’s an awful realization, but yet a comforting one nonetheless. But I am glad that I am able to see her as often as I do, even though it’s in little increments of time. She did get me a lovely necklace for my birthday (which is actually a big deal to me because birthdays were never a big deal in my family). I figured that she did give birth to me, so I would like to think that she remembered which day it was on. What mother would forget? But I know that she will never ever see this post. She hates computers. So all I can say is…thanks.

Happy Birthday Ryan! I hope you had a great dinner and birthday!!

Now, if only I can get rid of the annoying banner on top of my site. I guess that’s the price I have to pay for using a free host.
