UPDATE

SO... ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IVE UPDATED EVERYONE ON EVERYTHING. I KNOW SOMETIMES THERE MIGHT BE A LINE OR TWO ABOUT WHATS GOING ON BUT HAVENT REALLY SAID MUCH MORE THAN THAT. MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE IM TIRED AND LAZY LOL. ALSO BECAUSE THERES NOT MUCH MORE TO TELL THAN THAT... HONESTLY... JUST BEEN BUSY WORKING AND GETTING REST. I COME HOME AND IM TIRED AND THEN SOMETIMES WHEN I DO THIS ITS LATE. THATS WHY THE POST SOUNDS LIKE THE WAY IT SOUNDS. SOMETIMES I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP LOL. I KNOW I COULD POST THIS EARLIER BUT ITS JUST SO HARD SOMETIMES. YES YES THERES A TWSS RIGHT THERE. THE OTHER REASON IS BECAUSE I DONT HAVE MUCH TO WRITE ABOUT. I SAID IT BEFORE, THAT THERES ACTUALLY QUITE A FEW TOPICS I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT, BUT I JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME OR ENGERY TO DO IT. THATS WHY I END UP WRITING MOVIE REVIEWS BECAUSE ITS QUICK AND EASY. IF I ONLY WROTE POSTS ABOUT THE MEANINGFUL TOPICS, THEN THE POSTS WOULD NOT BE WEEKLY AND I WOULD RUN OUT OF MATERIAL QUICKLY. THE ODDS ARE THAT THE POST WOULD HAVE MORE DEPTH AND QUALITY COMPARED TO WHAT IM PUMPING OUT RIGHT NOW LOL. I MEAN THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT IM POSTING RIGHT NOW, ITS JUST THAT YOU CAN SEE THE QUALITY DROPPING THESE FEW YEARS COMPARED TO THE EARLY DAYS AKA THE FIRST FEW YEARS LOL. THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WRITE EVERY WEEK FOR THE PAST 7+ YEARS... IVE ALSO SAID THAT IM NOT SURE IF IM GOING TO KEEP THIS BLOG GOING AND THAT IM WORKING ON SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE BETTER. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHERE I AM WITH THAT. I LOOKED INTO IT BUT IT WOULD EITHER TAKE MORE TIME OR I WOULD HAVE TO POST LESS. THERES A LOT TO CONSIDER... I WOULD BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTART FROM THE BEGINNING IF I END UP DOING IT THIS CERTAIN WAY. IT WOULD BE A LOT OF REBUILDING. IT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE BUT IT WOULD BE FUN TO DO LOL. SO I GUESS IN THE MEANTIME YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU GET UNTIL I FIGURE THIS OUT LOL. ANY SUGGESTIONS? LOL.

SO WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO THEN? WELL... BEEN WORKING, CATCHING UP ON SHOWS AND MOVIES, PLAYING MJ, HANGING OUT WITH FAMILY AND THE NEPHEW, HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS, AND WORKING ON RANDOM THINGS. ITS QUIET THESE DAYS. NOT MUCH REALLY TO DO AND NOT MUCH I REALLY WANT TO DO. MAN... I NEED A VACATION... I NEED A PERMANENT VACATION LOL. UNTIL THEN... BACK TO THE GRIND.

THATS ROUGH

SO TOTALLY GOING TO LIVE UP TO THE NAME OF RANDOMNESS TODAY. BASICALLY MY FAMILY HAS BEEN HAVING WEEKLY FAMILY DINNERS SINCE MY NEPHEWS BEEN BORN. I GET TO SEE MY NEPHEW AND HANG OUT AND PLAY WITH HIM. PLUS GET TO HAVE DINNER WITH EVERYONE AND JUST CHILL OUT. SINCE THIS ONE RESTAURANT WAS HAVING RENOVATIONS, WE ENDED UP TRYING DIFFERENT PLACES. THIS ONE CHINESE PLACE WAS ALRIGHT AND WE WENT BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES. FIRST TIME THERE WERE 2 TABLES IN THERE. SECOND TIME THERE WAS NO ONE, AND LAST WEEK THERE WAS NO ONE EITHER. I JUST GO IN TO PICK UP TAKEOUT. I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM NOT BEING BUSY BUT THAT MUST BE ROUGH. AN ENTIRE NIGHT WITHOUT A CUSTOMER, OR JUST ONE. YOUR OVERHEAD WOULD BE KILLING YOU. TAKE PAY AND ALL THAT OUT AND JUST SAY ITS A FAMILY BUSINESS. MY ONE TAKEOUT ISNT GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LONG RUN. MY QUESTION IS HOW THE HELL DO THEY SURVIVE... THERE IS A TON OF CHINESE RESTAURANTS NEARBY AND THEY ALL SELLING THE SAME THING. HOW DO THEY SURVIVE. LETS JUST SAY THEY ARE ALL LEGAL AND UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. CHINESE RESTAURANTS ARE USUALLY QUIETER ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, DEPENDS WHERE WEDNESDAY IS A HIT OR MISS. WEEKEND AND SO ON SHOULD BE BUSY. THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS WHERE THEY ARE JUST BUSY ALL THE TIME. THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS IS DO ANY OF YOU EVER FEEL SAD FOR THEM? FOR EXAMPLE YOU SEE THEM WITH NO CUSTOMERS AND ITS SUPER QUIET. IT ALMOST MAKES YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND TRY TO HELP, BUT THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHO GETS HELP AND SO FORTH. YA IT SUCKS THAT NOT EVERY PLACE CAN BE BUSY AND MAKING MONEY BUT THERES JUST TOO MANY OF THEM. WE DIDNT END UP GOING THAT PLACE, WE WENT TO A NEW PLACE, BUT I WONDER WHAT THAT RESTAURANT THINK... I WONDER IF THEY WERE ASKING WHERE I WAS...

THE SAME GOES TO BUSINESSES. YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOU SEE BUSINESSES AND YOU THINK "HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY SURVIVING" ITS THE SAME AS ABOVE. ITS HARD TO BE SUCCESSFUL. ITS JUST ROUGH. THEN THERES THE OTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS AND YOU JUST THINK THEY SHOULDNT BE IN BUSINESS LOL. NOT QUITE IF THIS MADE SENSE SINCE I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP AND IM HELLA TIRED. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN HELP EVERYONE, AND ITS KINDA SUCKS BECAUSE YOU CANT HELP THEM. THEN AGAIN HOW MUCH CAN YOU REALLY HELP... AND YOURE STILL BUSY HELPING YOURSELF.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

WELL I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY. IT FELL ON AN INTERESTING DAY THIS YEAR AND LETS JUST SAY WE ENDED UP GETTING 5 DAYS OFF. NICE TO JUST RELAX AND HANG OUT. I THINK IVE SAID THIS BEFORE... IM PRETTY SURE I SAID IT BEFORE... CHRISTMAS SEEMS LIKE ITS GETTING QUIETER AND QUIETER EACH YEAR. IT SEEMS LIKE THERES LESS AND LESS THINGS GOING ON AND PEOPLE DO LESS AND LESS. PERSONALLY ME AND MY FAMILY HAVE NEVER BEEN BIG INTO THE WHOLE CHRISTMAS THING. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A TREE AND WE HAVE NEVER DONE ONE OF THOSE BIG FAMILY PARTY. I MEAN WEVE BEEN TO FAMILY PARTIES BEFORE BUT WE NEVER HOSTED THEM... THEN AGAIN WE LIVE IN AN APARTMENT SO THERES THAT LOL. EVEN WHEN WE LIVED IN A HOUSE WE NEVER HAD A TREE, WE NEVER HAD A FAKE ONE EITHER, OR A SMALL ONE. IT WAS NEVER REALLY A THING FOR US, ALSO SINCE WE CHINESE. ALTHOUGH ONE YEAR OUR NEIGHBOUR DID COME OVER DRESSED AS SANTA AND GAVE ME PRESENTS LOL. ALSO, I WAS NEVER ONE OF THOSE KIDS THAT BELIEVED IN SANTA EITHER. TRUE STORY... WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I DONT REMEMBER WHEN OR HOW OLD... I THINK IT WAS AT SCHOOL, I BASICALLY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO SANTA AND SANTA DIDNT EXIST. LETS JUST SAY SOME KID CRIED LOL. IT WAS SOME WHITE KID. CHRISTMAS IS SUCH A WHITE THING TOO. YOU NEVER REALLY SEE OR HEAR OF OTHER CULTURES LIKE REALLY INTO SANTA. EVEN IF THEY ARE THEY ARE MORE WESTERNIZED IF ANYTHING. THE WHOLE HOLIDAY THING IS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER HOLIDAY. OUR FAMILY WAS NEVER BIG INTO IT AND IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER IF WE DO ANYTHING. WE CAN DO THINGS BEFORE OR EVEN AFTER THE ACTUAL THING. WE JUST DO WHAT WE WANT, WHEN WE WANT. I NEVER REALLY GOT PRESENTS EITHER AND I WAS FINE WITH THAT. UNLIKE HOW SOME OF THE KIDS I SEE THESE DAYS THAT GO CRAZY AND THEY GET A TON OF GIFTS. IT WAS NEVER REALLY ABOUT THAT FOR US. I DONT KNOW... YOU MIGHT SEE IT WEIRD, BUT THATS JUST MY FAMILY. EVERY FAMILY IS DIFFERENT. THIS YEAR WE WENT OVER TO MY BROTHERS PLACE AND HAD LUNCH AND HUNG OUT WITH THE NEPHEW. I SEE SOME PEOPLE MAKING IT REALLY BIG AND HAS TO BE A THING BUT THATS JUST NOT US.

TODAY WAS BOXING DAY AND AS BOXING DAY TRADITIONS GO, I GO TO THE MALL AND SEE HOW BAD IT IS. ONCE AGAIN, THE MALL WAS PACKED, AND THERES A TON OF PEOPLE. I DONT LIKE LINES AND I DONT LIKE CROWDS, AND THIS IS THE WORST DAY TO GO TO THE MALL. THERES REALLY NOT MUCH TO BUY AND LOTS OF STUFF ISNT EVEN ON SALE. EVEN IF IT IS IT MIGHT NOT FIT, THERES NO EXCHANGES, NO REFUNDS, LINE UPS, CANT TRY IT ON, AND SO ON AND SO ON. EVEN ELECTRONICS THERES NOT MUCH OF A SALE... THE SALE GOES ON TO AFTER THE NEW YEAR... SO WHY WOULD I BOTHER TO LINE UP AND FIGHT WITH PEOPLE WHEN I CAN GO TOMORROW OR THE DAY AFTER TO GET SOMETHING THAT DOESNT CHANGE PRICE... THERES REALLY NOTHING TO GET AND ITS NEVER REALLY WORTH IT. YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY AND FIND SOMETHING BUT OVERALL... ITS JUST A WASTE OF TIME.

OH YA THE WORK CHRISTMAS PARTY WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!!! EVERYONE HAD FUN WITH THE GAMES AND PRIZES AND EVERYTHING. I REALLY AM OUT OF IDEAS FOR GAMES NOW SO I ALREADY SAID IT, NEXT YEAR SOMEONE ELSE IS TAKING OVER LOL. WHOEVER IS TAKING OVER WILL HAVE BIG SHOES TO FILL LOL. IT WAS THE BIGGEST AND BEST PARTY EVER! OH AND FOR MY SECRET SANTA GIFT I GOT THIS COOL BUDDHA BOARD. ITS LIKE A ZEN THING AND YOU PAINT IT ON A STONE THING THAT DRIES AND THEN YOU CAN KEEP REUSING IT. SOMEONE KNOWS ME WELL. I WONDER WHO GOT ME THAT...

OH YA WATCHED THE MULE AS WELL. CLINT EASTWOOD, ALISON EASTWOOD, BRADLEY COOPER, LAURENCE FISHBURNE, ANDY GARCIA, MICHAEL PENA, AND A FEW OTHERS IN THIS MOVIE. BASICALLY CLINT IS OLD, AND A FAILED FATHER AND HUSBAND. HE TRIES TO HELP THE FAMILY OUT WITH MONEY AND HE DOES IT BY RUNNING DRUGS, HENCE THE MULE. HE DOES WELL AND ITS THE STORY OF HIM BEING A MULE. THE MOVIE IS BASED ON THE TRUE STORY ABOUT A 90 YEAR OLD DRUG SMUGGLER FOR THE CARTELS. THE MOVIE WAS ALRIGHT, THE ENDING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. IT NEEDED MORE KILLING AND MORE INFO ON SOME OF THE OTHER STORY LINES. ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE CLINT HAS BEEN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. I MEAN HES DONE STUFF BEHIND BUT IN FRONT ITS BEEN A WHILE. HE WAS BUSY WITH THIS ONE, HAVING PRODUCED, DIRECTED, AND STARRED IN IT. I GIVE THIS A 7.2-7.5/10. ITS CLINT!!! WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO SAY LOL, BUT YA IT COULD HAVE BEEN  BETTER.

LASTLY, THIS IS THE LAST POST OF 2018. CANT BELIEVE I MADE IT ANOTHER YEAR. WHAT HAPPENED IN 2018... WHO KNOWS LOL. 2019 SHOULD BE A BIG YEAR, I HOPE ITS A BIG YEAR, LETS MAKE IT A BIG YEAR! WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR.

MY MINDS A BLANK

SO... I DONT REALLY HAVE A TOPIC TO WRITE ABOUT THIS WEEK. I CANT EVEN THINK OF ANYTHING TO WRITE ABOUT... I LOOKED AT THAT LIST OF LEGIT TOPICS AND REALIZE THAT ITS GOING TAKE TOO LONG TO WRITE ABOUT IT AND THAT I CANT REALLY THINK STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW. I MIGHT BE LAZY TOO, BUT THAT CANT BE IT LOL.

IM SITTING HERE LISTENING TO THE RAIN HIT THE WINDOW AND MY MINDS BLANK... I CANT EVEN REALLY THINK OF STATEMENTS TO WRITE, AND THIS IS AFTER ME SAYING THAT IM GOING TO KEEP WRITING FOR NOW. ITS DAYS LIKE THESE THAT I WONDER WHY IM STILL WRITING, AND NOW WE BACK TO SQUARE ONE. YOU NOW ALL GET A POST ABOUT NOTHING.

OK, SO I TYPE UP A PARAGRAPH AND IT WAS GOING SOMEWHERE BUT THEN I REALLY DONT KNOW WHERE IT WAS GOING SO I JUST DELETED IT.

ANYWAYS, SO I WENT OVER TO MY BROTHERS PLACE TO WATCH MY NEPHEW FOR A BIG AND PICK UP MY PARENTS THE OTHER DAY. NEPHEW WAS FINE, I PUT HIM TO SLEEP AND ALL. HE WOKE UP WHEN MY BROTHER GOT BACK SO NEPHEW WOKE UP. IT WAS BASICALLY TIME FOR THE NIGHT FEEDING. HE WAS BEING ESPECIALLY NAGGY AND JUST WOULDNT EAT. THEN... FOR THE FIRST TIME... I HEARD HIM REALLY CRY. HES 4 AND A HALF MONTH  OLD NOW AND HE DOESNT REALLY CRY MUCH BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM REALLY BALL OUT. OMG CAN HE CRY. HE GETS SO LOUD AND AT SUCH A HIGH PITCH THAT IM ACTUALLY IMPRESSED LOL. HE MOST DEFINITELY HAS MY SET OF LUNGS LOL. HIS SCREAM ARE LONG TOO WHICH IS SURPRISING. HE WAS ABLE TO GO ON FOR A SOLID 15 20 MINUTES I THINK AND THEN STOPPED FOR A MINUTE, I GUESS TO CATCH HIS BREATH AND THEN HE WENT BACK AT IT. APPARENTLY HE KEPT GOING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER WE LEFT AND THEN HE WAS FINE, BUT WOW A SOLID HALF AN HOUR OF ALL OUT CRY SCREAMING. I MEAN HOW CAN SOMETHING SO TINY MAKE SUCH IMPRESSIVE NOISE. WELL NOW I GOT SOME GOOD VIDEOS OF THIS AND WILL SHOW HIM WHEN HES OLDER LOL. ANYWAYS BESIDES THAT HES FUN TO PLAY WITH. STILL A LITTLE YOUNG AND DOESNT DO MUCH BUT YOU KNOW, STILL FUN.

THIS POST IS A FILLER POST I GUESS. COME BACK NEXT WEEK AND WE WILL SEE IF YOU READERS GET A REAL POST OR NOT LOL. WHO KNOWS, I CERTAINLY DONT, HAHA.

CANT THINK OF A TITLE...

OK... SO... APPARENTLY I THOUGHT I WAS WRITING HERE AND IT TURNS OUT I WAS PASSED OUT AND DREAMING ABOUT WRITING HERE... THAT IS BOTH PRETTY COOL AND AWESOME AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME LOL. NOT MUCH TO SAY SINCE NOT MUCH HAPPENED THE PAST WEEK. JUST BEEN BUSY, AND ITS GOING TO BE LIKE THAT FOR A BIT LONGER. I WAS GOING TO WRITE SOMETHING THAT WAS GOING TO BE GOOD BUT I FORGOT NOW... IT WAS ABOUT A THING BUT IT WAS TWO THINGS... SOOO I GUESS IT WILL BE FOR ANOTHER DAY IF I EVER REMEMBER... SIGH...

REWATCHED INTERSTELLAR THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I WANTED TO AND BECAUSE ITS A GREAT MOVIE LOL.

WAS AT MY BROTHERS PLACE EARLIER EATING AND HANGING OUT WITH THE BABY AND WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT A "COUSIN ONCE OR TWICE REMOVED" MEANS. THIS HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME AND TURNS OUT ITS THE SAME FOR HIM TOO LOL. IT JUST DOESNT MAKE SENSE. IN CHINESE CULTURE EVERYONE IS RELATED... EVERYONE IN A COUSIN... AND THEN THERES A REAL BREAKDOWN DEPENDING ON WHETHER IT IS ON YOUR MOTHERS SIDE OR YOUR FATHERS SIDE. IN WESTERN CULTURE ONLY THE REMOVED PART DOESNT MAKE SENSE, SO WE SPENT A WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO WOULD BE IN OUR FAMILY. AFTER SOME DISCUSSION, WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT IS STUPID AND WE DONT CARE ANYMORE HAHA. IM STILL GOING TO FIND OUT CAUSE ITS BOTHERING ME LOL.

HAPPY BDAY TO ME!!!

I JUST CHECKED TO SEE IF I HAVE EVER HAD A BDAY POST POSTED THE ACTUAL DATE OF MY BDAY. TURNS OUT MY BDAY IS USUALLY A DAY OR TWO BEFORE OR AFTER THE ACTUAL DATE, HOWEVER IF WE GO BACK TO 2012... I POSTED ON THE ACTUAL DATE LOL. NOTHING REALLY IMPORTANT, JUST THAT I WAS WONDERING, SO THAT KILLED SOME TIME LOL. IT WAS A NICE DAY. WORKED, THEN HAD FAMILY DINNER AT MY BROTHERS PLACE. I HAVE A FEELING WE GOING TO BE DOING THIS MORE OFTEN THAN GOING OUT LOL. AT LEAST FOR NOW UNTIL THE BABY IS A BIT BIGGER. I FIND MYSELF FORGETTING HOW OLD I ACTUALLY AM THESE DAYS... PROBABLY BECAUSE AFTER 30 IT JUST DOESNT REALLY MATTER ANYMORE HAHA. THE GF SET UP DINNER WITH MY FRIENDS THIS WEEKEND, SO THATS NICE. JUST WANT TO HAVE A CHILL THING, NOT REALLY INTO PARTYING HARD LIKE WE USE TO LOL.

SO THE PAST LONG WEEKEND I WENT INTO CALGARY WITH THE FAMILY FOR MY COUSINS WEDDING. ITS THE FIRST OF MY CLOSE COUSINS. FLEW IN ON THE FRIDAY, SAW EVERYONE AND GOT READY FOR THE BIG DAY. THE WEDDING DAY WAS A LONG DAY... AND I WASNT EVEN IN THE WEDDING LOL. WELL... I WAS IN THE FAMILY SO I GUESS I WAS IN THE WEDDING IN A SENSE LOL. IT WAS A NICE WEDDING, EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY AND THE RECEPTION WAS FUN. THE LAMB RACKS WERE REALLY GOOD! NEXT DAY WE ALL JUST HUNG OUT AND WENT TO THE ZOO. HERES THE THING... I REALLY LIKE MEERKATS! I COULDNT FIND THEM AT THE LOCAL ZOO, COULDNT FIND THEM IN SEATTLE ZOO, COULDNT FIND THEM IN PALM SPRINGS ZOO. EITHER THEY WERE ON LOAN, OR CHANGING THE ENCLOSURE, OR JUST NOT THERE FOR WHATEVER REASON... IVE BEEN TO 3 ZOOS AND COULDNT FIND THE DAM MEERKATS. SO LOOKING AT THE MAP GUESS WHAT I SEE... MEERKATS!!! IT GOT MY HOPES UP A BIT BUT I WAS AFRAID THAT I WOULD JUST BE CRUSHED SINCE IVE ALREADY BEEN CRUSHED SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. SO WE WENT AROUND AND CHECKED ALL THIS STUFF AND WHEN WE GET NEAR IT WE WENT ONE WAY FIRST. THEN WE WENT THE OTHER WAY AND MY DAD CHECKED OUT THIS OTHER SIDE OF THE EXHIBIT... COMES BACK AND SAYS OH THERES NOTHING INTERESTING THERE... SO IM LIKE OK IL JUST TAKE A QUICK LOOK... GUESS WHAT WAS IN THAT "NOT INTERESTING" AREA... MY MEERKATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG!!! I FINALLY FOUND THEM! IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM FOR SO LONG! THEY WERE SO CUTE AND ACTUALLY SMALLER THAN I THOUGHT LOL. THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM TOO LOL. IF I LISTENED TO MY DAD I WOULD HAVE MISSED THEM! ALSO I WOUND HAVE BEEN QUESTIONING IT THE WHOLE TIME SINCE I WENT ALMOST EVERYWHERE AND COULDNT FIND THEM. THERE WE GO, CHECKED THAT OFF THE LIST FINALLY. THEN THE REST OF THE TIME WAS JUST WITH FAMILY AND MORE FAMILY AND THEN HOME WE WENT THE NEXT DAY. OF COURSE OUR FLIGHT WAS DELAYED COMING BACK... THEN WE FIND OUT THERES NO FLIGHT CREW... AND THAT THEY WERE COMING IN FROM ANOTHER FLIGHT. THEN WE FIND OUT THAT THE FLIGHT IS FULL AND OVER BOOKED... THEN THERE WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM... I GUESS IM JUST GOING TO STAY IN CALGARY... ANYWAYS IT WAS ALL FIXED UP AND THEN WE CAME HOME. I MET QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE I DONT KNOW ON THIS TRIP. MOSTLY AUNTS AND UNCLES FROM WHO KNOWS WHERE HAHA. IT WAS NICE SEEING FAMILY I HAVENT SEEN IN A WHILE. CONGRATS TO MY COUSIN AND HIS NEW WIFE :)
