Long-Distance Dude

I called Leslie at about 6:40, and said I'd be at her place at 7, but got stuck in traffic and was there at 7:25. She just let me in when I buzzed without bothering to verify who it was, haha. AFTER THREE LONG MONTHS, WE HAVE BEEN REUNITED! Catching up, Vegas bling necklaces / postcards / maps (Nevada) / T-shirt / playing cards, wedding photos, Vegas pictures, baby Ayler photos, dinner, chilling, and more were definitely on the agenda! Discussed Facebook, TSN, Edwin Encarnacion, baseball, the Blue Jays winning 11-9 over the Indians, the BC Lions losing 23-20 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the Puckheads group (she added me at my own request!), Carol / Stuart, racism, and reminders. Conversed about my wanting to know ALL THE DETAILS (she didn't mind!), Marissa / Caleb / Connor, James (who showed good timing by saying hi on YM just as we were discussing him :P), fans, water / apple juice, Vegas hotels, Jon / Harmony / Ayler (I gotta see the baby before he loses his cuteness!), TV programs, FINAL FANTASY, COMMAND AND CONQUER, her new large extended family thanks to Harmony and all of Lisa's cousins, Lucas / Liam / Ruth / Sandy / Mike, and dinner options.

We talked about Tokyo Joe's (sushi good if there's a large group only - not for two people), Denny's, Italian Tomato (which Eliza told her about), Korean BBQ (she wasn't REALLY HUNGRY!), closing hours NOT posted on websites (?!), NOT White Spot, and other things. Finally, she had to call Italian Tomato to find out that they closed at 10. Since it would probably take forever to find Bridgeport after 9:10, I figured that we might as well go to ABC Family Restaurants next to Yaohan. Sounded fine to her! I had a quesadilla with a garden salad, and she had a chicken pot pie with a garden salad. Talked about grandmas, expensive electronics, iPads, iPhones, plasma TVs, Steve Nash going to the Lakers (not with the Phoenix Suns anymore - A CONTENDER INSTEAD!), T&T, prices, Price Smart, IQ Tester games, Nathan and Ciel, busyness, seeing the baby, changing opinions, a BOBBY LOU burger in Burnaby, and more.

I was fine with going to Price Smart briefly: the 30-count of bottled water was on sale for $4! Since that was what she was going to get anyway, that was even more incentive! She lugged it around the store in a wheeled cart while we checked out the magazines and Asian section. Decided to get some purple yam / taro ice cream while we were there - of COURSE it was fine if she took that on the way out since I had to help with the bottled water! I stopped in briefly to grab my stuff while putting down the bottled water in the kitchen, and she convinced me to sign the guestbook even if it would be abbreviated. YAY! I HOPE IT'S NOT THREE MONTHS BETWEEN HANGOUTS AGAIN!

Spent time with Leslie (glowing_dragon) yesterday at her place: we watched the Canucks WIN 7-4 over the Washington Capitals, and had Pizza Hut. She didn't mind paying for half of it if I had to get gas on the way over, of course! We talked about friends, that asshole Paul, Jon / Harmony, God, Nathan, the movie about J. Edgar Hoover, personal stuff, CRACKED, weird things, and more. Thank goodness I was more healthy, haha!

I'm back in Canada, where I should be! I called Leslie (glowing_dragon) to let her know, since I tried sending her an MSN message when I was in Hong Kong. The job got way too stressful over there after three years, man... I broke up with Gena because Mom thought she wasn't a good fit for me! She didn't answer the phone, so I was worried that it wasn't her number anymore. When I called her using my sister's phone, she looked at her Caller ID and figured it might be Erica trying to tell her something even though they haven't met. I said that I'd meet her for dinner on Sunday around 7, with her NEW COMPUTER FOR FREE! Yes, I have to do some stuff, but she realizes that full well. Of course it's for her birthday, even though that's past. Maybe I'll even go to the church one day! I want the guys and Leslie to come and watch TV in my basement, man! She updated me on Jon, Harmony, Steph, white Eric, her own life, Jeremy, Nathan and the UK, and more. I want us all to be "hooked up," haha! YAY!

Hey, I just wanted to update blog to say that I am dating again! Gena is the daughter of my mom's friend, and Mom is very thrilled.... THANKS, MOM!!!!! She's graceful, cultured, a real hottie, smart, articulate, and what I've been waiting for all these years! Do you think I could get a hottie with MY looks?! Also talked to Leslie for a bit on my day off since I've been busy. My friend WILL build her a new Lenovo laptop, and I hope his China-related project doesn't take up too much time since I have to go back to Canada soon-ish!


Eric's just got their Beer Name from Name Generators. It's Duvel.

Dear all.....

For people that wondered "Where the heck.... i went off to?", I have been working away overseas (it has its UPs & downs). It has been a very enlightening & fun learning experience, and guess what?? I am STILL going back for some more!..... hahahaha. Also got to hang out with family, and GOOD FRIENDS such as Nathan, white Eric, Leslie, and JON! He got married!

In order to do that, i had to sacrifice some things (such as breaking things off W/my gurl) cuz i found me & her was indifferent about our life paths.... let's just say part of me was VERY sad (cuz we were together for close to 5yrs!), but i had to build my career. Since i know in my heart SHE wasn't going to be part of my future plans, I had to do that so to "CUT" the pain short. Sigh....

Since in HK, I have been "EYEING" around for new perspectives, and I think there is one special gurl that has whet my fancies. I hope the "DR" can cure my "LOVE" woes, so wish me "LUCK!"... Wink

I will "UPDATE" how it went with the new gurl in my next blogging.....

OUT!

Talked to Leslie last night about relationships, Jon and Harmony's wedding planning, no drama, and how I might be here in Hong Kong for another year. Always good to reconnect with her in the busyness of work!

Well, folks, it seems time to tell you that I am going away to Hong Kong for a new food quality job! Fay seems okay with it because we've had a year and a bit together here, so that's important. At least I had time with CLOSE FRIENDS at Jeremy's on Sunday, and at Nathan's on Tuesday! Yay for shootout wins over the New York Islanders! I'll be in Hong Kong for at least a year, maybe two - my uncle in Seattle made some phone calls, and my mom (being a typical Asian mom :P) pushed me to take the job. My sister thinks I can make a video blog, but I don't know about that!

So goodbye for now... I'll try to keep this updated!
