december is right around the corner. i can't wait! this month has been quite a month. you can be the judge of the smiley faces and the blah faces. earlier in the month, emmanuell and i joined jeannie and jerry for the death valley camping trip. it was really fun, except for the coyotes and the wind. it was a nice short getaway from the city. very much needed. for a couple of wknds, i helped my sis w/ her business. it was tiring, but it was nice hanging out w/ the kids. sma organized an office-themed kickback, which was really fun. i miss them a lot. haven't seen them in a long time, so i'm really glad i was able to go since i missed out on the 'cuz john said so' dinner last night. a couple wks ago, my coworker got divorced and a former coworker got married. even tho there wasn't a fancy wedding nor a wedding gown, it was very nice and entertaining. i'm soo happy for them! =)
oh yea, the news i was waiting to hear for 2 wks came back w/ sad news. i was really upset. that evening, emmanuell took me out. he surprised me w/ cupcakes then took me shopping in glendale. he bought me an early xmas gift. i can't wait to get it. it's currently at the jewelers getting a couple diamonds fixed. that's one thing i'm looking forward to (hopefully the end of this wk). i'm glad he was there to cheer me up and lift my spirits. it was def better than just staying in and letting me mope (he won't let me do that). i love him. <3

this thanksgiving was the first time having a significant other there. emmanuell and i spent the day w/ my family. he got to help with the dinner preparations and just enjoy it w/ my family and me. i hope he enjoyed all the dishes we had - 2 turkeys, 1 ham, 3 trays of candied yams, 2 trays of green bean casserole, a plate of green beans, a pot of home-made mashed potatoes, 2 huge costco pumpkin pies, 1 home-made apple pie, hawaiian bread rolls, corn, and gravy. yes, there were tons of food for just a dozen ppl. unfortunately i couldn't pack any leftovers since we were leaving to philly the next morning. we got our butt up at 5am the black friday morning only to go to the airport. thanks a bunch steven for getting up early and taking us to santa ana! our first flight was full but the connection flight was close to empty, which was nice. we got to philly at around 7ish eastern time. not much going on here (in philly). last night was my babe's 10 yr reunion, so i missed the ucla vs usc game (BOO!). the bar was cool. i def felt young. i felt like i was the only chinese there. i kept turning my head to the tv hoping that the football game would be on. instead, they had a short class of 1999 slideshow on repeat. sigh... guess what killed the night... oh, and pete carroll has no class!
to be cont'd...
