Thanksgiving. A time for family and the time that my dad was supposed to have come back from China. My mom is holding up surprisingly well. I think the deluge of things to take care of has helped her keep her mind on the tasks at hand. We had dinner tonight at Black Angus with my mom, George, Chris, my god sister Jessica, her mom and her mom's boyfriend. Jessica is getting married soon as i mentioned before and it's strange because her dad passed away a few years ago and my dad was supposed to be the one to walk her down the aisle. Now that job falls to her mother i guess.



Anyway. It's been a good couple of days because i've been trying to pull as much as i can out of this time in San Diego. Surprisingly, everyone from everywhere is back for the holiday weekend and it's been really good to see alot of old faces. Last night i went to Fumari's with Hong, Babbs and GaGa. Adam and Minh showed up and then Josh and Jeremy, whom i haven't seen in almost two years, stopped by. I even got the chance to see Victor Wang and JenTa, both of whom i haven't really seen in close to two years also.



Tonight after dinner i went over to Isabel's and saw everyone from Mt Carmel who i used to hang out with a bit. Trieu, Jessica, Monique, Brandon, Victor, JenTa...lots of people. Izzie is teaching english in Japan and so she is only here for a couple of days. We went to get Mexican food (she too misses the raw carnage that is the carne asada) and then to sing. It was interesting to see what everyone was up to nowadays, a few months or years removed from college. Live has changed alot and people are now in very different circumstances but in the end it's still nice to know that people have kept in touch and whatnot.



The backroad from my house over to the Rancho Penasquitos area where the majority of my friends live is finally finished after perhaps six years of incompleteness. This road is the scene of my disastrous car wreckage of high school and now it's all paved and beautiful.
