gem2nikiBlah blah...if you don't care... I had two thanksgiving dinner with my cousins on both side of my dad and mom's. Strangely enough, we didn't have thanksgiving dinner with my parents. They went to my grandparents to take care of my cousins (I have too many to count and they're all 12 years and under) while my grandparents and aunties/uncles went to Reno..
Okie, in the morning my sisters woke up early to eat breakfast that my mom made, while I was still in bed. I thought it was unusual since we had Thanksgiving "dinner" with my cousins on my dad's side at 12:00 pm. So they end up half full when we came over to Peter's house (one of my cousin). On my dad side, almost most of my cousins are already married, have jobs, and have babies/kids. My sissies and cousin in Oz are the babies in that side of the family xD;;; Almost everyone showed up. My nephews and nieces all were big since the last time I saw them. They bought a lot of food from Chinese, Vietnamese, and American dishes. I guess this year they were lazy to prep for a food. We had potluck last year which was fun. Ou one of my cousin is a now a professor at the newly open UC Merced ^^;; Only about 1,500 students attending there....so little D: But it's new, so good luck with him! We're going to plan on going to Yosemite camping during the Spring Break to visit. All of my cousin's wives are pretty cool to chit chat with xD....strange how all of them are male...My female cousins that I'm familar with aren't married yet... After eating we watched "Cars". Pretty nice movie. At 4:00 we left and went back home for a break.
We then headed to my cousin Judy's place on my mom's side. She is getting married in December so she and her fiancee (they live together) had their family over. It was cool how the house they lived in was the same house my cousins used to live in since childhood. She completely remodeled it to look cooler and nicer. And she bought a lot of expensive furniture etc...T_T;; *where she get the money?* She homemade most of the food, which were delicious. A bit too salty. I like cornbread with the canned craneberry and sweet potatoes ^^;; My other cousins from Judy's family came over and we chit chatted. On this side of the relatives, the oldest is around 30's (hey, it's still judy....)...and we have plenty of baby cousins rather than nephew and nieces XD;;
There was this one girl, who was Cousin Paul's girlfriend, who knew me in middle school. I have absolutely no idea who she is...Cathy Nguyen? Does Camile know? She goes to UCLA and said she saw you there. Ah....my middle/high school life must be so traumatic that I don't want to remember about it..nor most of the people in it XD......yes I'm sad.
And then at night, Lily was ready for Black Friday at Fry's in Campell. I chickened out because it was bloody cold and I'm not much of a shopper to line up for 5 hours. Also I don't want to be shoved and watch how humanity can be chaotic for just shopping. This time, when I woke up they came home with little stuff than expected. They bought a JVC camcorder and some SD memory cards and USB flash drives. Around $350. The camera Lily wanted was gone even though she was the first to register for it. Sad... Now they both have to go work tonight.
Now I gotta finish my freakin book for ART050.
Err...Happy late Thanksgiving ;3!
