Today was nerve racking.  But in the end, I felt better.  Spent a lot of time soul searching and talking with my friends.  Getting a lot off my chest and just having a nice time.  Lunch was in SOHO and Dinner was with Solomon near home.

School inbetween was pretty chill, though I enjoy my Advanced writing class now.  I at first had a little trouble with it last week, but now that we are finally into the class I am really enjoying it.

These days have been emotionally rough for me.  I have been going through my head what has been happening and I am realizing a lot of things.  There are only a few things in my life I am sure about in terms of relationships. 

My relationship with God, my family and my friends.  Anything outside of that, I can never be sure about .  They fluctuate all over the place.  But I have to say, that at the end of the day, my Relationship with God is the single most important thing for me.

And in the recent days, it has not been the best.  Lord, I kow I do not nearly consult you enough on the decisions I make, and I kinow I should do it a lot more.  Sometimes, I just want things to go my way, but when they do they are messed up.  So I guess I should just let you handle the situation.

Whatever happens I promise I will commit to the cause remain good and faitful to myself, you and those around me.

I hope that I can be better at this and just learn to trust in you, and let you help me with making decisions in my life.

So…Today.  hmmm… What can I say about today.  was a day for risks.  I saw my family, and my friends, and we just hung out and stuff.  But at a night where everyone with with their loving someone, I went to Yoshinoya and ate alone.  But there’s something I don’t get about Hong Kong guys. 

Why is it, that some guys would take their girlfriends to Yoshinoya and have a Valentines dinner there.  You already spent the effort looking good and getting flowers, A fast food Japanese restaurant is not the most romantic place.

Granted I understand that some times, finances are tougher to come by and stuff.  But sometimes, that is even better.  You know, get some food, go to a park and sit and eat.  That’s romantic too.  Nothing says that you have to spend a lot, but spend the right amount to make the night as special as you can.  And not, just eat at a fast food restaurant.

If I was a girl, and I knew that my boyfriend was creative with what he had, man I would be a happy person.  And totally respect.  But if he took me to say, Cafe De Coral, I would be pissed.  Having said that, on to our next topic.

So, I spent about 2 hours talking to my favorite 15 year old.  Actually the only 15 year old I know.  and we were talking about her Mandarin class.  Today, her class exercise was write down the 5 things they disliked about the opposite sex… I was thinking, if I was a girl this is what I would say about mem.

1.   Men never have tissues when people need it most. (Stop relying on Women.)
2.   Men never admit they are wrong.(This is also true, you just won’t admit it)
3.   Men are lazy. (Or else we would do more)
4.   Men are useless at home. (admit it we can’t do shit)
5.   Men complain about women’s vanity, but they are worse. (Don’t deny it)

I love women, so things are cool with them…

Words of wisdom of the day for you…

Had to get my car fixed today.  The brakes were making silly
noises.  Turns out my break pads are all scratched away, and the
wire in my horn is messed up.  Now I have my car at 100% so that’s
cool.

Sunday was one of the best days I had in the world.  It started weird but the afternoon made up for anything bad.

I was confused with Church being in Wan Chai, and also all 100,000
people in Hong Kong running for the Standard Charterd Marathon. 
The Finish Line was right by church.  It was cool, but weird, and
because of them, I had to park a 10mins walk away.  At 7am… that
made me pretty cranky.  And then to top that morning off, I lost
my parking ticket, and since they are a normally expensive lot, they
made me pay 24hrs worth of parking, which was 576 dollars.

But then lunch was fantastic with mom and dad, and then my afternoon
with Cathy was the most fun I have ever had in a long long time. 
Dinner with Jo was good too so it makes up for anything that happened
in the morning.

Cathy and I found some fantastic speakers for 320 dollars in Mong Kok
for her friend, and she needed me to help her with some
headphones.  2.1 speakers that had great sound and they were so
simple.  I was really quite excited.  We hung out for the
whole afternoon, and just talked mac stuff, music, culture and
everything else.

By the way, if you ever crave for soem Beef Brisket, Gau Gei has a
major competition, and to me this new place is winning the battle for
me.  I think Gau Gei is starting to slip a bit and losing some of
that quality.  It’s in Tin Hau.  i forgot the name of the
place though… I’ll tell you next time.

Life is Good… I’m happy.  Had a great day today.

Ladies and Gentlemen.  I would like to welcome Buttons to the Family.

I’m going to let that thought sit for a few more days.  Cuase it is fun.

So this semester, I have the most intense schedule.  For the first
month I have classess from Monday to Saturday, 6:30pm to 9:30pm. 
that means for the first three weeks of school I will have no social
life.  Can you believe that.  Except for Sundays I cannot go
out anywhere for dinner.  so I will use this opportunities to lose
weight and try and avoid eating too much.  March onwards I only
have Tuesdays to Fridays.  So this is going to be tough.

I have my first draft of my paper due next week anyway, so I am going
to freak out for a litlle bit and maybe actually stay home and try to
be productive.  We’ll see what happens.

Chinese New Year was pretty cool this year.  I didn’t spend all 14
days with my family, so I got to see a lot of my friends and that made
it quite nice.  I ran around Hong Kong and shopped and ate, and
that just made it so fun.  I hope it is like this every year from
now on.  I like it that way.

So these days, I just sit at home and enjoy playing with my cats. 
I am finally adjusting living in the new place and have started going
to the gym.  Albeit, it is a little shitty gym but it is adequate
for my usage.  I just have to be  a little creative on some
of the exercieses that I want to do.
 
Solomon officially moves in this Friday so that will be nice.  I
will for once be able to have someone hanging around when I am home,
and that will make everything much more fun.  Less boring, I’ll
tell you that. 

So stay tuned for tomorrow and I will reveal the new addition to the family.   But keep guessing…

My studio is ready, and the first jam session will be on
Wednesday.  The first that I have with Arnold.  I had a small
one last week, thursday and it was cool.  though it was during the
day and it is weirder when it is bright outside and you’re playing
drums.

There are still a few teething problems with the place and the mixing
board has not arrived yet, but I will be using it soon and I can’t wait.

Looks like I may be having a new member to my family.  heh heh…  I like being vague.  It’s fun.
