1st Week in Vietnam

HOLY CRAP! finally internet! hahaha damn im missing you guys like crazy...well those are deserve being missed that is...ve and sarah should know why. lolll whatever. anyways damn it was crazy the first day here in vietnam. right when i got off the damn plane, mosquito bites... hahaha it was pretty crazy for the past week. just starting yesterday i finally stop getting bitten like crazy. but i already got two scars on me...one is on my left hand because the bag i carried ripped the skin off and then the second time was when i was helping carrying in boxes of beer in and i kinda slammed one on my toe. lolllll

so yeah its been pretty fun here with my lovely cousins and everything, i really cant ask for more than this kind of family warmth. of course in america, i have no relatives, only ones i have are in cali, but they're pretty much eff-ed up relatives, ahem...dad's side of the family. but yeah being here in vietnam with all my cousins being so close and stuff, yeah thats something i dont get in america. i guess thats why i look for "sibling" like friendships in america. but anyways though in our life, we'll see each other like less than a year worth of days, its the time that we spend together that makes everything worth while and worth living. we dont need to waste time developing comfort with each other, we straight off talk and talk because why waste such valuable time. so tomorrow ill be leaving my mom's side of the family to go live with my dad's side, which is his little brother. my dad's side of the family, i have no problem with his little brother because his little brother and their family are honest and caring unlike the rest of his family. but yeah im going out to stay there, its about 10 minutes away from my mom's side of the family but still...the thought of that kind of breaks my heart. my little cousin name kieu who im most close too started crying this morning while driving my sister out to go shop. my sister told me that kieu was afraid that when we leave we will forget about her and not keep in contact. so i went to grab kieu to go eat, but she walked away wiping her eyes and it really got to me so i started crying too. blech...such a moment. but yeah we're just enjoying whatever time we have left together. we've exchanged emails and everything so we can keep in touch. its heart breaking to know that i wont see them again for probably many more years. but i promise to return when i grow up.

time has went by pretty fast haven't it? damn almost a week already. but yeah so far, my family have made the ceremony and feast for my grandma's 3rd year death anniversary thing. we went to visit both my dad's and mom's parent's grave. also my oldest brother whom i've never met before. sad teary moments yep yep...

but enough of sad moments. i've done simple and fun things here in vietnam so far with my cousins. just doing what we can to have fun and enjoy ourself. we've been going to karaoke places and omg its hilarious!! we get our own room inside with AC and buy drinks and snacks and take turns singing. when someone picks a techno song we all jump up on the sofa or in front of the room and just tkae turn holding the mic singing lines after lines and start jumping and dancing. hahahahaha omgg hilarious moments. we also play simple game cards and make the loser do stuff like call someone daddy or squeeze someone's nose. haha just little simple things like this can make everyone laugh, this is the evironment i want and love to be around. but dont get me wrong, i seriously miss alot of my friends right now as well.

food food food..hmm right when i got off the plane, my family and relatives went to eat pho of couse. LOL yeah its pretty bomb, plain and simple pho. i've eating other homemade things as well. spring rolls, egg rolls, etc. but food dont excite me really. i rather just enjoy the moments with my family and cousins. we're going to a water park or amusement park soon i think! CANT WAIT! hahaha

omgg! totally forgot. im mad dark now. but hopefully ill get lighter when i get back to america hahaha just dont make fun of me because i might sound fobby and look fobby. i might dye my hair purple when i get to saigon =o hahaha kinda try new thingssss! oo and shop shop shop :D

okay i think thats pretty much for now unless im forgetting something. =o
