during the thanksgiving break, i played texas hold 'em for the first time. i played with my fob friends in berkeley with a jackpot of 40 something dollars. i learned something from this game. i cannot hang out with fobs. i feel/am very out of place. i know it, they know it. for example, they'd be talking in their stupid korean with all their stupid korean jokes and slang and then one guy would turn to me and ask me how school was. some crap like that.

if you don't know already, one of my life's goals is to perfect my imperfect korean. i always tell people that i'm going to live in korea for a year after i graduate from irvine so that i can master the blasted language. but living in korea for a whole year...fudge. definitely will not be an easy thing to do. i guess i'll just have to drag danny along with me.

but anyways, hold 'em was really fun. stupid pat and his "sorry john. i don't remember." lol. however, i really didn't like seeing seung-bae all different. it pisses me off to see people going through the same mistakes i did. but i know that God is a just God and He will deal with everyone accordingly...including myself.

right now, i really miss my mom's food. i feel like every meal that i ate was a considered the highlight of my thanksgiving break. i really don't eat that much normally but i refused to stop chewing after my first plate for every meal. i think my new favorite food has become ggori gomtang (ox tail soup). it's a very simple piece of food but i think that's why i like it very much too. it's definitely the best thing to eat, especially in a rainy san francisco. man, i ate that crap every single day!

another memory that i have is cache creek. i usually only went with chang every time i went up north. but kevin, bs, and this fob named joe, felt like playing some cards so we drove up one night. man, we all lost our money but i thought it was a good memory. like after we all lost and came out of the casino, the guys started thinking of every possible excuse and complaint that they could think of for losing their money. i found it really amusing and even explained to them that even though we had all lost our money...

me: this is still a good memory. when you look back after some time, you'll laugh about the time we went to the casino and lost our money and started complaining.
kevin: is this memory worth $60?
everyone: ahhahahahahha.

man, i can't believe i only got to play 3 hands.

and finally, we have the drive back down. we took off at 2:30 and arrived in la by 1am. the traffic was really bad. i don't remember it being this bad when we drove last year but it was pretty bad. however once again, i was very fortunate to have a very talkative piece of company for the long trip. but unexpectedly, jane didn't have as much to say compared to the first time we drove up. i guess she IS human afterall. =D but man, she is seriously the craziest in n' out eater. i've never seen anyone eat their fries with so much concentration. this girl who can talk for hours straight does not say a single word when we're eating inside the restaurant. all you see is her hat with her head tilted down at a 45 degree angle, and fries just entering the mouth area. she's like a garbage truck that just inhales everything that is in its path. i have the strongest regrets of not taking a picture of her in action. definitely a kodak moment.

dang, jane can play canon on piano.
