I haven't
seen many of my cousins for years, from both my mom's and dad's side and
suddenly I got to see almost all of them within a day. It was, very strange. To
most of my cousin, I have always been the baby of the group, and I kept getting
comments for how grown up I am. We used to be very close when we were little,
since some of my cousins lived with us.
I used to make my favorite cousin hug me until I fall asleep (that's
probably where I got the habit of having someone sleeping with me). The last
time I saw him was the night before I left the US to study for the first time,
and I remember him holding my hand until I fell asleep, like I haven't grown up
at all. Now he's about to have a family of his own and I those innocent days
are all in the past. It's a bittersweet feeling.
On a
bright side, my best friends are home. We've known each other for 10 years and
have always done things together. Saigon has been so boring without them. So on
Monday, I met up with some of them. We met at our middle school and started
from there. We happened to run into our 7th grade English teacher, and she
still remembered me. Obviously, I was the most brilliant student in English,
and the most trouble-maker at the same time ;) The four of us went out for
bubble tea and headed back to my house to play … Kinect, only after stopping at
the market to go shopping for ingredients
for a hotpot. I felt like we've never grown up at all, still doing silly
things like years ago. People must have been super annoyed when us 3 went shopping ;) Hehehe, we finished all the food in record time, and
played Dance Battle the rest of the day. Quang is a dancer in a dance group and
performs regularly on stage, so it was hilarious watching Phuong trying to beat him, claiming that she "had been practicing" at home. Lol.

I'm
spending a whole day w/ Momo and D today, the two members of BLOOM and the
girls I count on when I run into guy, and fashion trouble. We hang out with
each other so much that we also know each other's parents, family members and
even the house helpers know all of us ;) We went to get our nails done, as
always, before going out for lunch and heading back to Momo's place. Usually we
do silly things like dressing up and having photoshoots. Sometimes I help Momo
with her designing homework (obviously I can't do such a good job at sketching
and designing as she does). We also often go shopping together. And LOTS of
talking. We must be getting old since all we did today was getting our nails
done, and talked and … napped.

But I love
spending time with these girls. They are the ones who would tell me straight up
when my clothes don't look good, or my nail colors are weird, or that they
don't like the guy I'm interested in. We all have our own problems and are busy
with school work and relationships. We don't talk all the time but we know we'd
always be there for each other. Momo is transferring to a uni in San Francisco
this spring, so one step closer to me and so many steps closer to D. So jealous
of those two in the west coast.
Time is
passing by real quick when I have so much to do. I still have many plans that I
don't know whether I will be able to do all of them. My parents don't like it
when I skip meals at home so often and, honestly, I feel bad not spending
enough time with them. 2 more weeks and I will be back in the states.
Too much
time going out and doing things non-stop, I decided to stop by the library and
spent all my afternoon and most of my evening reading. Spending a night
watching Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess in One Day now <3 Looks like it's gonna be a good one, I have always had a thing for Jim Sturgess, ever since Across the Universe ;)
New Year's
coming soon …
