My “cousin” Nicky (you know, family friends ARE family for us Asians) graduated from UCI yesterday. I was there as his carpool buddy and personal paparazzi. After I got home, we had a moment of scare when the pictures Brandon uploaded disappeared from the server and we had already deleted them off the camera. Let me just say that thank GOD for data retrieval tools. We managed to get most of them, if not all of them back. Plus the ones we thought we lost, like the pictures of 2 burly men singing “The Greatest Love of All” on Karaoke...

On one hand: Support came pouring in once Celeste’s accident was formally announced at work. The get well card was signed in record time and everyone came by at least once a day to get the update. Eva and I converged at Celeste’s house around 7:30 for a visit. I brought with me an El Pollo Loco family meal which fed me, the Fireball and her man plus leftover. Celeste’s neighbors were over. Her bus buddies also came by for a visit. Phones were ringing every 30 minutes or so with everyone’s checking in and saying hi. People DO care....

In Thai, there is a phrase “Jai Hai“, literally means your heart (Jai) has gone missing (hai). The meaning of it is that your heart skips a beat when you’re startled. The same expression is used for when your heart drops when you hear bad news or read about something horrible that has happened. With all that had happened on Mega Fun Saturday, I was in some kind of a daze today. It didn’t help with Nhien having moved into Amy’s old office. And the girl had her hair up in a bun and wearing a white shirt. The whole...
