I've received my grades for the past quarter. Guess what? I've got an 'A' on my first and only real graduate class! My final project/term-paper with my two groupmates earned us an 'A+'. The funny part out of all this is that I've found out that I've got an Incomplete for my dance class! I kicked major ass in that class too! That reminds me, I have got to email the dance instructor regarding the Incomplete. Maybe he doesn't like me due to the fact I did pimp most of the girls in that class, especially the cute ones!...j/k

Last Wednesday, I attended Laureen's and Brian's senior project presentations for their Bachelor's degrees. Both of them were very cool projects. I know exactly how they felt after that night, it's a great feeling to be done! Anyhow, later on the night, Brian, Laureen, Francis, and I went out for dinner at Salo-Salo. It was my first time eating filipino food. The dinner was delicious! The food wasn't that much different from what I'm used to. Brian and Laureen think that just because I'm Vietnamese, I don't eat rice or something! Hahaha...the first question of the night coming out of Brian's mouth was "Do you eat rice Son?" I stared back back at him with the "WTF? I'm asian!" Anyway, remember! We are all going out to eat Pho (NOT Phu!!!) sometime this week! Laureen's driving us with her brand new SUV!

Thursday...I really really have no idea what happened...so was the first half of Friday. I'm seriously sitting here pounding my head against my desk asking myself what I did on Thursday. Oh well, if I can't remember it, then it must not be important. Anyway, Friday night, In-n-Out, Darren....remember the whole girl basketball team?? That was so sweet!

Oh yeah...I remember now...Thursday was the ITC Christmas gift exchange party thingie at work. I bought a $20 gift certificate to BestBuy and threw it in a random old shoebox I had. Jeremy randomly chose it out of a various of others, so yeah! Don't judge the gift by its cover! In return, I randomly chose one of the gifts from work, and it happened to be Jeremy's gift. It was a $15 gift certificate to In-n-Out. Anyhow, Jeremy, I actually got to use $5 out of the 15 on Friday night. It actually came in handy. Thanks man!

Saturday, Darren came up to La Verne to Omar's place and the three of us left for San Bernadino to help Kim with some gardening work at her house. Omar, who just came back from TJ, Mexico the night before, was late due to the border hold up! So we didn't get to Kim's place until 5 PM. By then the sun was already down, so we ended up doing the gardening work in the dark! It was pretty funny. I had to mow the lawn, while Omar was trimming the bushes and Darren was helping Kim move some equipment and trashes in the garage. I was so afraid of leaving patches on the grass, it was pretty dark and for the life of me, I could not see exactly where I have or haven't mowed yet! Anyway, I was a bit relieved, as Kim called me earlier tonight and told me that everything seems to look okay.

<-- My brother and I after the wedding. Sunday, my aunt got married today. She was the last out of my 5 aunts to get married on my mom's side. I'm happy for her. The wedding was pretty cool. I've got to eat the 9-10 courses dinner. Saw cousins that I haven't seen in a great while. I couldn't believe it, but they were playing Salsa and Cha Cha Cha music at the wedding, but too bad I didn't know that one my cousins could dance until after the whole thing is over. I did get to try Waltz and Foxtrot with Nora though. It was pretty cool, even though I think the Vietnamese music that they were playing wasn't meant for what I was dancing. But like ALWAYS, I could careless.

Time flies by so quickly. I spoke to a few of my cousins. And seriously, I could not believe Cindy is a Junior in high school and the Diana is in college now. I can still remember the time when they were just barely in Elementary school! Davy, my cousin (half-Vietnamese and half-whatever-the-heck-he-is-but-possibly-white) just got married recently, and he's the same age as me! Man...I'm not getting married until I'm like 30! Nora, Davy's little sister is attending medical school next year. Everyone is growing up so FAST! That means I'm growing OLDER even quicker! It's kinda amazing and mind-boggling to think about these kind of things.

The table where I was sitting. A few of the many cousins I have on my mom's side. I will post more pictures later on to my gallery.

Anyhow, that IS IT for the week and for this super-duper long entry, time to catch up on some sleep and prepare to make the decision of a life time this coming week. UCI or USC, be broke or be seriously in debt, Asians or mixed?
