the thanksgiving weekend in one word: fulfilling.
since everyone's doing the "weekend in a nutshell" post, i guess i'll join their wagon.
wednesday: left davis with the worst case of "runny-nose-but-stuffy-sinuses-and-a-horribly-aching-throat-itis". got to anaheim in the evening. jumped for joy at the fact that it was still summer (compared to the weather up here, that's gotta be mid-summer). jumped again, higher than before, in your embrace. the night was decorated with a crecent moon and i was finally home.
thursday: happy thanksgiving. ate a ton and a half (hanging with filipinos, i learned that eating is their favorite pastime), met up with family. and everything was wonderful. and i must add... ogi; your mom's yams were so good.
friday: busy day. the to-do list grew as the day went on. i did what i needed to do. now, if a meteor hits like that one idiot said, then i'd be in major doom (i think only two people know what i'm talking about... and they were there). good times with the quartet. i almost cried when you hugged me all the way to the car, felsh... but then i realized that the day had only begun. ate lunch and then made cookies for all four of us. found out that felsh and i had yet another thing in common. you are truly my other half. and ryan; our handshake still rocks! no other like it :) and of course, thank you "jop" for a pleasant day.
saturday: woke up freaking early to meet up with ma "bruthaz" at starbucks. you guys haven't changed at all. i missed you guys, ya know. and then for some breakfast (that i never eat, on a regular basis), jamming, and an apartment raid. that was fun. i should have taken your car, vu. haha... it is a honda, after all. afterwards, a wonderful lunch with rossy-poo. the drawing was so much fun. we have to go there again and share that panna cotta dessert again. oh, my goodyness of all goodynesses... that thing was so delicious. :) thanks for all the fun, guys.
sunday: my leaving day. i realize that one can never do close to enough in four, short days. met up with the i-fam group to reminisce about the good times. *allison- physiology will live on! missed ya! *karen- we so matched that day. lol... that was awesome. *evan- it was soooo good to see you again. (did you grow again?!) lol... i missed that smile of yours. *matthew rementilla villacarillo- my favorite son :) i missed you so much. seeing you even for a mere few minutes made my day. *babyquack- i finally got to mess up your hair again, which gave me ultimate pleasure. :) i really hope your collarbone and wrist get better soon. thanks for bringing jingle along, and for planning this whole thing! *nav- the high-stepping clinic when fantasmically. it's fun. and you rock for making that cd for me. the best daddy in the whole world. i missed you like mad, and having been able to see you augments my happiness (wow... bando terminology! watch out...). *babe- thanks for coming with me. maroon is your color. ;) ----- and then the running around. owner- nice to know you're doing wonderfully. i missed you and your unforgettable smile. then off to yuka's. thanks so much for the advent calendar. those always get me in the holiday spirit! jap sisters unite once again :) heehee. then felsh. :) time spent with you ever-so precious. and time does fly. then jay. gosh, if i don't get to see you soon, i'm going to cry a freaking flood, you hear?
and so goes my break. back in davis, but never left anaheim. it's possible.
special thanks to my love for providing lodging for the past four/five days. and for everything else in the world you've given and shown me. shout-outs to the people i would have LOVED to see but couldn't (stupid time and lack of transportation!!).
i indirectly did myself a favor. sound too weird? nah. i've never felt so good in my life for a long time. and i'm smiling because i didn't have to lift a fingernail. confused? maybe another day, i will explain myself. but that's a dependent variable. and god forbid, can't possibly change the independent side. so stubborn.
the best thanksgiving break i've ever had in my whole life. thanks to all. miss you guys already.
+++++
