Having a wonderful weekend with Mom and sister.

Had a nice walk at the Snake park and afterwards we went over the mall. I bought Mom a Michael Kors hamilton bag. Mom was really happy about it too. 



So today we took Mom to her doctors appointment. They injected her spine
To help relieve pain.

Was a super serious procedure that is very dangerous. They put her to sleep and they let me watch her. I had to put on those radiation aprons while they X Rayed her neck.

After that we went to have lunch in Flushing. Mom had the delicious cold noodles. I am truly a replica of mom because I love the same things she does.

We took mom to visit one of her friends. This really cute old lady who my mom met at Church one time. Really sad story. She loves with her son but he has no job and have a difficult life. But even though they don’t have much they cook dinner for mom and hang out with each other. My mom brought them over two boxes of this frozen fish.

After that we went to my house to get some movies for adis.

Had such an amazing time with family this weekend.

After work on Friday I met mom to go and have dinner with Adis in jersey. Made a quick visit to Uncles house and then went to this new buffet place. Food wasn’t that great but was one of the few places to eat at 10:45 pm.

Saturday morning we went to have our usual dim sum breakfast. Was delicious and made up for last nights nasty dinner.

Afterwards we went to JCPenny for some essentials and then to target. I told both Adis and Mom that I would give them each 100$ spending money for things they need. Felt really good to help them out.

After that we went to get some Korean groceries for a delicious Korean dinner.

For the first time we actually had a sit down dinner that was relaxing and conversational. Adis cleaned off the center kitchen table which made it all possible.

Had a lovely mothers day weekend with my Mom.

Saturday we got together to visit Grandmas grave for the first time. It was nice that we could all get together to visit her.

After our visit we hung out at grandpas for a bit and then I took my Mom and Dad to the city to my apt for Mothers Day dinner.

I took my parents to Chelsea market. It was really cute to bring them out because my Mom was so impatient just like a little kid when we were waiting for our lobster to be steamed. Afterwards we walked home and got home just in time because Adis was chilling with B when we walked in.

I made a nice simple pasta dish and we each had our own lobster. Such a great time and so happy to be able to do something nice as a family for Mom.

I tried to convince my Dad not to come but after talking to Uncle I realized that grandpa was going to jersey and he would have been left home alone which would have been very depressing for him so I decided to take him. Im really glad that he came because it was good for him to finally meet B knowing that he is my partner and also to see our Apt.

It has been a long time since my last post. Alot has been going on with the family. My grandma passed away today and it has been the first death in my immediate family that I have had to deal with.

Grandma has been struggling holding on to her last thread of life for years now and finally she has let go peacefully. As sad as it is this has been the biggest relief for my family to finally get to move on and deal with her leaving us.

A few days ago I took the day off and spent the day with grandma. All of us were there spending time with her. We all said our goodbyes and played videos and just spent time with her as a family.

Now that she has left us we can look back on who she was as a healthy wife, mother and grandmother.

We looked back at all of the things she used to do for us that made her Grandma.

I have to begin working on a small speech that I am going to present at the funeral/wake. I think the one thing that I am going to talk about is how strong of a woman grandma was. Through her arthritis in her legs and her hard work making dollars a day working in the sweatshop in factories she was always working hard and I have always admired her for that.

I feel completely horrible for my grandpa. He was finally able to say goodbye to his lifelong partner. Over 60+ years of marriage to one woman- amazing!

So this weekend I spent the day with Adis at Uncle Alvin’s house. Asia has been house sitting and watching rocky.

Adis had this great idea to paint the kitchen for Aunt Cindy as a gift from both of us. We painted the ceiling and top parts of the walls and left a 7 inch border of white on the walls. The bottom half were going to paint lavender.

Even though it sounded like this huge chore it ended up being alot of fun. Adis an I talked alot and we also spoke to Aunt Amy for a bit about the whole house situation.

Now I’m back on the train to the city to spend Sunday with Furry.

He’s leaving to go to SXSW next thursday so this is like the last weekend day with him until he gets back.

So this past weekend we went to visit the cemetary. It always makes me sad when I see Uncle Allans grave because it reminds me of the loss that my family experienced.

I found out from my Aunt today that she was only 14 years old when he passed. Just as old as my little cousins and that makes me so sad when you think about it like that.
My dad said he was 23 years old and my Dad was one year older than him making him 24 years old! I remember being 24 and being kind of young and stupid and to have to deal with the loss of a sibling would have totally set me off track!

Being at the cemetery makes me really think about death and whether or not I want to be buried or cremated. I think I definitely want to be cremated because I don’t want to think about people coming to visit me when I am dead-just makes me so sad to think about it.

I finally went down to Jersey to hang with Adis. She picked me up Friday after work.

We ordered sushi for dinner and mad a quick stop at Target of course.

Bridesmaids finally came on DVD so I had to get that one for Adis.

We got to her house and had dinner and watched bridesmaids. I don’t think Adis found the movie as good as I did but I also don’t think that she paid as much attention. She said she would watch it again.

Saturday we had out usual slow starts. Went to dim sum and then to Barnes and nobles. I’m glad we did something different for a change.

For dinner we stopped at A&P for some groceries and made dinner at home. Adis made this delicious mustard garlic chicken with asparagus. I made Brussels sprouts with some diced ham.

Unfortunately my Brussels sprouts didn’t taste that good. The Ham was not that good. Should have used bacon instead.

After dinner we watched some tv and ten Adis dropped me at the train. I got kind of upset at her because we missed the train because she didn’t get ready when I told her to. Really makes me so angry and stressed when we rush to the train.

Wow- what a weekend I just had in the Poconos. Basically long story short Allison planned to rent a car but we had so many problems with renting the car because of her credit card and after like 2 hours we finally got the car and headed off to the Poconos.

Even more ridiculous was the fact that we woke up at 7am and ended up leaving at like 1 pm or something. It was ridiculous because we arrived at like 4pm.

We then decided to do an outdoor event and head out to this park that has a small waterfall. We got there and had basically had an hour of daylight.

After the kids hung out and swam a bit in the water we walked out with just enough time before the sunset. It was actually perfect timing.

Last night Ant Cindy invited me to Shakespeare in the park. It was so nice of her to invite me to the see the play since she waited so long to get the tickets.

It was super cool to be in the park watching the actors perform in the park. Another reason to Love new York.

Definitely glad that I decided to go and an experience worth having.

So Friday night I went to meed Adis at her work. We went to Jersey together- It was messed up because last weekend I totally cancelled on her because I had to get lots of work done. I was supposed to call her on Thursday to let her know the weekend plans but didn’t even do that. Also it was more messed up because I am the one that told her that I wanted to hang with her and I flaked out on her.

I actually had a great time with Adis. For dinner we went to the huge H Mart in Edison and got lots of groceries and made dinner at home. We bought sliced ribeye, soon doobu soup and kimchi.

On satuday we had a really chill day. Adis started making this delicious OX Tail stew that was amazing. She marinated it with this curry powder, garlic powder and fish sauce. She pan fried it and then cooked it for like several hours. It was so delicious and the meat just fell right off the bone. Totally reminded me of ox tail dinner with Grandpa :-).

We had a lovely walk with Poly around the block. We was being so cute because at the end of our 20 minute walk he was so tired and hot that he just plopped right down in someones lawn to take a break. Also another strange thing was that every time he took a poo- He had a little erection. I found that hilarious!

Adis had to get her oil changed so we went to get that done and then headed over to the mall. There were these awesome Puma sneakers that I really wanted to get but Adis wouldn’t let me because she said that they look too bitchy-BETCH-

Uncle came to meet us at the mall to hang for a few and we just hung out at the food court and chilled for a bit. I ended up buying this InCase Origami station for the Ipad and keyboard which I am actually using right now. Its so fantastic because it actually functions as a case for my bluetooth keyboard-I LOVE IT.
