a day of celebration

today i celebrated my scholarship from the neptune fund, the passing of my WST, and tiffany's goodbye to junior year and onto senior year by pigging out.

i pigged out at the picnic with the few nerdy chem majors by chowing down soft buffolo rib and yummy dipped honey mustard sauce vegetarian burger. luckily, if mr. lovely wasn't there, i think i would have started to play volleyball by myself instead of setting up hamburger buns and chopping onions. afterwards, i returned to mr. l's house to find myself hacking up snot and scratching my soft red eyes(i hate allergy season. i hate grass. i hate pollens. but at this point, i also hate anything that remotely reminds me of a bug. i have magically received five bug bites in one night; that's a record for someone who always sleeps underneath a blanket, even during a horrible heat wave) mr. l gave me some medicine, that had made me drowsy for like something that felt like an eternity. i still somehow managed to apply makeup onto tiffany's eyes and face as she giddily got excited for prom. mr. l and i took her to her date's house and took like about a gazillion pictures of her and her prom date. the pictures ranged from standing 10 ft away from a nice palm trees to standing in wide empty 12 ft deep pool. they smiled nonstopingly for about an hour until we decided that one hundred and a lot of shots were enough to capture the wondrous evening of prom. mr. l and i returned back to his house to find it empty. thus, i prepared the mashed potato as he bbqed the beef, and together we ate dinner, fed Lucky the female dog, took in the sun-dried laundry clothes, washed the dishes, watched serendipity, and then i was sent home to sleep.

another fantastic day to remember.

with my scholarship money, i will eat at macroni grill and pretend it's mr. lovely's bday so i can have another taste of heaven through their wicked chocolate cake.

on friday:
ma and i sat on the far left of andersen bakery and observed people coming in and out of the tiny hut. we saw a very frugal grandmother who took five pieces of sample + 1 (the one she was eating). we saw the mother, probably the daughter or daughter in law, who quite obviously saw people looking at the gramma in embarassment, but she did not have the confidence to confront the mother about that cheap quality of hers. we saw one male worker who was half my size. we saw another worker who had an indifferent look on his face, although if you had looked carefully, he pushed in a tint of smile every five minutes or so. there was the manager who refused to let me buy my eclair. she ignored me for awhile before she served me. my temper was being pushed out the door, i was about to "accidentally" tip the little sample tray over so she could clean up the mess. nobody messes with me. just kidding. i wouldn't dare. well, through all the observations of small people to large people, we also contemplated all of past situations in our lives. we've been let down by many people that we looked up to so greatly with utmost respect. slowly we see their little black tail, and slowly we will rebuild our confidence up again to know how to react to future dissapointing people. we will pull forward and stride on like that energizer bunny that keeps on drumming. together, of course. next year, we'll do the same thing again, ma..just in a different bakery. perhaps, it'll be at a pho place like last time: )
