momandkids Originally uploaded by theoakmonster. Here’s the picture of us at the hospital the day before I left. That’s my oldest brother on the left and the middle one on the right. She’s looking pretty good, y’all. Like I said, if she could yell at me to hang up the phone when I call to talk to her because I was wasting money, she’s doing swell. 🙂 And here’s one of my brother and his wife with mom. (My sister in law is soo pretty!)...

Yes. The Trojans beat Nebraska Cornhuskers to pulp yesterday 28-10. We didn’t have a good start to begin with, and on the 3rd drive of the game, this happened. Surely an injury that ends this season. Please all wish Ryan Powdrell the best. And pray for the Trojan offense to shape up after such loss. Also, even before the game, there was another kind of pain many of the current USC students experienced outside the Coliseum.

“Wanna bet we won’t have hot water tomorrow?” said Brandon as we walked pass the apartment’s water heater which was making horrific clunking noises. Sure enough, Saturday morning came and there was no hot water. I called Nora, letting her and her sister know that I would be there around 9:30 instead of 10 a.m. and that I needed to use their shower. Nora and I were going to the kick-off meeting for ONE campaign‘s Orange County Group. Talk about an appropriate social lesson before going to a meeting to learn more about a campaign to fight global AIDS and...

I called my dad this morning. The Okay News With mom, we don’t really have “good news” unless it’s “Cancer is in remission!” They have started my mom on the cancer drug. So far, she felt nauseous the first few days and then back to normal again. The stroke recovery is going very well and she is actually eating on her own…a lot of it. *Phew* When I was over there, they took off her feeding tube to change into a new one and to go down another nostril. Mom fought it and that resulted in the tube being removed...
