I'm still here!!


hmm...so I was eating dim sum with family, family friends and Michelle today when she once again brought to my attention that I don't update anymore. And why have a blog if I dont plan to update. Then I think why update if I dont really go online much these days besides using email. Does anyone even read this thing anymore?

I was thinking of making this blog comeback more exciting by providing some visuals but I realize that along with not blogging much these days, I've stopped taking pictures. Most days I don't really feel the need to take pictures anymore because many other people already bring their cameras and when you make some stranger on the street take 4 of the same picture with 4 different cameras....perhaps it becames a waste of time. I always think that the other alternative is having friends email the pictures that were taken but the reality is that pictures get posted on facebook more quickly than they get emailed out to ppl. And that's the way the cookie crumbles. So if I have been to an event with you in which you took pictures of and feel like this post has compelled you to send me the pictures, please please do so because I am deeply picture deprived at this current state of being.

Last weekend was rather eventful. I think I hit a milestone in my college career. By that I mean I went to my first UT football game. According to my communities and organization professor, football at this fine institution is our religion so I guess it was time I went to see what the hubbub was all about. I suppose the big-dealness of football beccame more clear after attending the game. After 2 years, I think I can finally say I've seen longhorns at their craziest; even people I know who went to the game went crazy...their voices changed...as if they were another person. Not only that but Lance Armstrong and three NBA players were about 10 feet away from where the bunch of us were sitting. OH and did I mention we were sitting in section 32 in the second row?! wow...what luck for the first UT game attended ever....

work has been going well. although i only work about 2 hours a day, I still get pretty worn out. I'm a substitute for the toddler class during nap time so I don't see the kids awake most of the time unless they're the rowdy ones that wake up 20 minutes into the 120 minute naptime. through observation, I've come to the conclusion that toddlers really like sleeping with their butts up in the air. It's like sleeping in the fetal position but on your belly. It's really cute. the older you get the less socially acceptable it seems to sleep with your butt in the air.

coming home has also been a highlight. somehow home is always inviting, a place where things keep moving but the things that matter the most never change and everything is jolly. seeing John, Grace and Caleb was exciting. John and Grace are still as amazing as they once were and Caleb really is as cute as the pictures on the Lin's blog. seeing where John and Grace have come from and where they are now makes me think....I wonder what my life will be like 6 or 7 years down the road.

well if this blogging stuff keeps up maybe I'll post about my life 6 or 7 years down the road....sometimes I think blogs are more for the person that wrote the entry than for people who come across the blog or are avid readers of it...maybe sometimes there are even stalkers who want to know about someone's life. Have you ever come across a person's blog who's aquainted with someone you know but they're not really your friend but you sorta know what's going on in their life and when you finally meet them you feel like you know them but it's weird because you know all this stuff about them but you don't really know them? or maybe this entire entry has just been a lot of babbling =)
