So recap of the last several weeks:
1) California is PHENOMENAL!!! After my last post, the sun came out and made everything oh so pretty. The drive up to San Jose to see my man Ivor was amazing. Jasper, I went by Santa Barbara and wondered what in the world you were thinking to leave the gorgeous beaches and blue skies for the blistering winds of winter in Montreal. Ah yes, I remember, you met me! (no gay innuendos there. Seriously. Just brotherly love man so don't flip out. I can just see you laughing your laugh right now.). Ate lots of Korean food in California for some reason but it was good. Got to see the CTI crew: Cindy, Bert, Cam and Pete Hwang. Justis no longer classifies as a CTI crew but is now my man after spending an extended period of time again with him, I feel like a part of me is missing like my more musical half. I am still jealous that he gets paid to do ministry in music and surf and work out every week and go hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains. I am however, not jealous of the fact that he has to drive hours everyday to commute to work and fight traffic on the highway. Friggin' ridiculous. I usually don't like to emphasize my sentences with words that resemble profanity but LA traffic is horrendous. It was 12 AM and there was still traffic on the highway. That's what happens when urban planners don't think before they build and don't do anything about it. I also got to see Susanna who is pretty happy in LA living the american life of living at home and having student loans. She's studying @ Pasedena City College, arming herself with an arsenal of latin languages and becoming super proficient in them. And of course, she was her generous self, taking me out all the time. It was great. Thanks SUSANNA!
2) I found a place in NYC to live in (PRAISE GOD! seriously) and will be moving in the last week of June (i.e. the 28th) and will be there at least till the end of August. so lemme know if any of you punks are coming out. Hopefully things will work out and all but I'm sure they will. I am officially leaving the 514 Area code but will be visiting from time to time. Samaritan's Purse application awaits to be reviewed.
3) I am officially non-chinese. Once again, my dark skin and non-asian features led a fellow chinese girl (from taiwan) to think that I was of spanish decent or a mix of different ethnic backgrounds. Jason P. has officially changed my name to Jonathan Hernandez and still insists I'm Filipino. Let the sun keep on shining.
