last night, i had some korean bbq b/c it was dykas's dad's b-day. all these other families were there and i didn't feel too comfortable about going, but dykas insisted. so we ate alotta good korean food: gal-bee, samgyupsal, kimchee...you know, the typical stuff. anyways, the adults were drinking soju and i noticed that the dads could REALLY drink! i found out that one of the hardcore dads was jessica yoo's dad! "homeboy's still drinking!" he's one of those cool korean dads that have that strong laugh and always say start/end every sentence with "jahsheekah!" you know, the kind of person that'll give all of his newphews and nieces a whole buncha money when he's drunk. smoking and "go-stop" is a given. oh yeah, and these dads have this tendency to LOVE kids who can eat! haha. every korean knows what i'm talking about. you just can't miss them. man, last night was the first time i've been in a family dinner since korea!

after dinner, i saw Requiem For A Dream on my computer. omg. what a depressing movie! not a sad drama but a very pitiful disturbing movie. it was basically another one of those drug reality movies. gosh, i hate watching these movies with simon. after the movie, he was like, "why do you watch these movies?" you stupid idiot! you don't understand such things b/c you're so young. there's a reason why certain movies are Rated R! but it's not like i'm not going to let him watch just b/c it's a Rated R movie. i didn't even know what the movie was about but i downloaded it back in irvine. but geez, that guy had one disgusting arm!

i received a Christmas Card from my old work place...Allan, Tess, Char, and Cathy. they also gave me a calander in the envelope. i feel kinda bad not stopping by to say hi to them. i'll say wassup during the summer when i might be able to work for them again. but yeah, those guys are the nicest people in the world...still treat me like i work there or something.

so i'm going back down in 2 days. like it says in dykas's profile, i'm kinda happy but kinda sad too. i miss irvine weather and sometimes, even the food! haha, gross right? but most of all, i miss my dormmates...gambling with minh do, playing frustration with J and annie, saying, "hello connie" to connie and "hi willburt" to willburt, and telling bunz to get out of my room. haha. but i won't see them til sunday b/c i have my first official college retreat coming up! i really do not know what to expect from it. hopefully, i'll become closer with some people and just have a refreshing time before i head back into the sinful world of irvine. we'll see wassup. BUT! there's also the pinch of melancholy that i have when i think about leaving home. no more good pool tables, no more driving my own car, no more of mama's cookin', and no more private bathrooms. yeah, it's really no big deal. i'm more happy that i'm leaving than staying here. this break has been super duper boring. now i know why alotta college students don't like going back home. if they do, it's just for a brief. aw man, i just remembered that i'm going to have to be inside a car for an eternity! noooooooooooo!
