I know that the relationship I have with uncle Han is difficult for many people to understand. For starters, he's not really my uncle. He used to live with us and knew me since I was little. So we're pretty close even though he's not really close to many people. He doesn't even talk to my parents much when he lived here. Then when he moved out ( Read more... )

Last night I was hanging out with my friend Thuong and her family. She came to visit and wanted to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2. We watched it at the Block and even invited another friend. Binh came but we didn't have time to hang out since everyone had something to do early in the morning. The highlight of the night wasn't really the movie, ( Read more... )

It's not normal that for the 4th of July I don't have any plans. Normally we would have something at my aunt's. Our traditions have changed like we used to go to the beach every year with the relatives and then it went down to pool parties and BBQs. Now we've been having dinners and later on just have tons of firewords to the point that we're ( Read more... )

There was no doubt that Sunday was a weird day. I think I already mentioned what happened in church and it was later that I found out more things that people there all know but didn't bother telling me. Like the class that Devin asked me to go to make the announcement is the class that everyone else avoids because the people that teach that class ( Read more... )

Yesterday I did 1 of my runs to Pasadena Art Center again to help Charles's friend with his project. This time I really didn't know anyone there and Charles couldn't make it because he had a wedding gig. So I was a bit lonely. I really should get to know these people more because Charles has been getting me to help out with some many Art Center ( Read more... )

Well let's say that today was 1 of the most awkward days of my life. The topic for Sunday school was "sex". Well that was pretty bad. I have talked to some other youth leaders and they do say that we have to talk about it but I was hoping that it wouldn't come up. Plus I teach middle school so I don't think that they really would know too much ( Read more... )

I had a bit of an interesting day. Today I went to my cousin Sarah's high school graduation. It was nice and we went out to dinner afterwards. My cousin Tam and his girlfriend came down here from Fresno for it so the least I could do is go. It was sunny sitting outside but thank goodness there was some breeze. Of course the talk I had with my ( Read more... )

Yesterday my cousin Harlen from Florida thought that it was my birthday. That was a bit soon but he was thoughtful. Got me a card and e-card and was telling me how he'll keep his promise about something that he was going to make me but he doesn't have enough time of money for that now. I don't think that he could manage it because that does take ( Read more... )

Today I went out with my friend's wife, or soon to be ex-wife. I know that they are having problems and we've been getting phone calls from her left and right about what's going on. I've been having a hard time trying to be impartial since I'm friends with him but she's a woman and is sad for her and the baby. I don't know whose story to believe ( Read more... )

Today is the first Sunday of the month so the kids at the church I'm with is supposed to go to the service instead of Sunday school today. Normally I don't go since I don't like having that long gap in between and not knowing where to go or what to do until I have to be back for youth group. So Devin was asking me last week to be there today and ( Read more... )
