dec 5 - i studied for a good part of the day. then i met up with annie and watched her play starcraft for a while. then we made a trip to inn-n-out, talked, and then i drove up to irvine to spend some time with ava. we walked SCOUT - their dog - and then i went to bed after jerry maguire.

dec 6 - dtrieu met me at the apt and we went to disneyland! what a party. i used my sister's annual pass so i got a free admission but david had to fend for himself. =) we spent a few hours there and went on a good number of rides - thank goodness for fast pass - and there werent that many people there which was SUUPER AWESOME. after that, we drove back to the apt, had dinner with ava and william, and then drove separate cars down to san diego. we watched korean dramas till like 2am and then called it a night.

dec 7 - ANNIES BIRTHDAY!!! we all had breakfast for annie's birthday at ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE! wooot. we were all hella tired though. it was cool because i met some of annie's friends and annie met david. my school world and home world coming together. after that, david and i headed up to the restaurant because i had to work the whole day. meanwhile he just sat in the corner and studied cuz he has one more final. i partied it up with my mom and helped her with accounting type stuff for the restaurant. we left work early, and then picked up AMY!!!!!! who was and still is in san diego for this conference, and then we met up with ANNIE AND JOHN AND CUONG AND JERRY AND EILEEN AND SOME OTHER FOLKS so that we could all go ICESKATING at the OUTDOOR ICESKATING RINK!!!! =) yayyay. it was sooooooo fun. it was super cool once again that my stanford friends met my home friends (annie/john - who are like suuper important to me and are like family) anyway john was piicking on me and was like "oh is that your boyfriend? cuong, tell gloria to introduce you to her boyfriend". with that said and with amy like HUH? and rescuing me by saying she was my boyfriend, i introduced cuong to david. annddd with that said, the cat was outta the bag and so yep, i'm dating david trieu. amy asked david about it and he didn't say anything and just giggled apparently lol and then she asked me and i was like yup, so there you have it. anyway, ice skating was a BLAST. afterward we went to get boba but being the old fogies that we are, dtrieu, amy and i split early because we were all tired. poor annie lost her cell phone =( so she was suuper sad - but have no fear, i recovered it the following day. back at home, david and i watched an episode of "bad family" and called it a night.

dec 8 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!!!! amy yu turned 23! hollerrrr. so in the morning, david and i ate milk and cereal for breakfast - which wasn't so pleasant because i think im turning lactose intolerant. then he busted a move and drove backt o LA to catch his flight. i went out to buy amy a gift - which is a mini christmas tree - and then i got a phone call because annie's phone was found, so i drove down to the icesakting rink to pick it up. then i came home and did some bonding activities with my dad and brian. we went to buy groceries for the restaurant and my dad showed us off the the employees. when my dad talked about me he was like and this one a world traveller and he picked me up from behind with his arms around my stomach and i was OH DEAR because of the milk i had earlier. it wasnt very pleasant. plus i realized in the car later that my fly had been open and part of my shorts were sticking out the crotch part. lol. dear me. anyway then we went out to eat some awesome chinese food.t hen we went home. i took a nap. then got up for work at the restaurant with my mommy and daddy. i drove separately so i could meet up with amy later. anyway, then it was my mom's turn to ask me about david. i spilled the beans and she was like as long as your happy. that was that. i left work with a bunch of fooood to bring to amy and ALENA, amy's coworker who was at the hotel too! we ate the deeelicious fooood and had aawesome ENERGETIC AND ENTHUSIASTIC conversation - my face was hurting from smiling so much - and then amy and i split and talked at the fireplace in the other tower. oh they are staying at the sheraton right by the airport. anyway amy and i talked some more about current events and our lives and whatnot. good times =) then around 1am, we split because amy had to get up at 6am, and i was just dead or getting sick. so i went back home and went to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep.

im so clumsy!

dude i was working at the restaurant and iwas pretty tired from running earlier in the day. brian came up to visit and at the end of the day, we were all cleaning up. i took a tray of dirty dishes into the kitchen but since they were mopping on the floor, i didnt quite make it all the way, and slipped and dropped all the dishes and broke 4 glass cups =(. it was suuuper embarassing. fortuunately no customers were there at the time. OH MAN. im such a clutz.

earlier that day..i think i was mostly studying..and then i went running with john at TP around 2? then we ran until about 3ish. then i came home, and then it was time to go to the restaurant. hence, why i was sooo tired.
