busy, busy weekend.

friday night; tea party!
we watched How To Be. what a beautifully awkward movie. i like strange movies, but you should already know that.

saturday; skateboarding & charity night
relearned how to skateboard, went more than 15 blocks downhill all the way to ocean beach. it was amazing. then we did some carskateboarding. as in one person drives the car while the other person hops on a board and holds onto the car. i was paranoid that i would accidently drive over my friend. but of course that didn't happen.

sunday; vietnamese new years
woke up at 6am to go to a temple 2 hours away. it's located at the top of some mountain near gilroy. apparently there was a road that snaked around the mountain that eventually led up there. but our GPS found the shortcut that cut straight through the mountain. so we were driving on offroad terrain. good thing it was my mom's suv. or else we probably would've died. it was breathtakingly beautiful. and the air was amazingly fresh! risking our lives was definitely worth it.
then we headed to san jose to celebrate. i left my parents after lunch, and went to go gamble! i suck so bad, i think i just don't have enough good luck. i met a lot of nice people, but most of them lived in sanjose, so i didnt really bother. went home around 4pm and was about to crash, when my cousin called me to come over.
so i went over for dinner and stayed for the party. more gambling, of course. it's new years. i spent 2 hours in the game, and ended up losing money. what a fun way to waste my time.
afterwards, i went out for some late night football. it was either because i was really tired, or the lack of light, but i really sucked last night. i was about to catch a really nice pass, but it brushed a telephone wire and i somehow completely missed it. and it slammed right into my chest. that was painful.

today; i woke up early once again.
had breakfast at my grandma's house. some of my other family was there as well. i had a very deep conversation about life with some cousins. it was very.. healing. after they left, i talked on the phone with my buddy. and out of nowhere, the top part of the window (i don't know what it's called) falls on me! that was not fun, and all i tried to do was close the shades. when i got home, he gave a surprise visit. he's silly, but it made me extremely happy.

between all of that, i barely had time to read. which also means i havent had time to draw, either.
