Joyous Weekend


{Doing the A-Clap}

This was a jam-packed weekend! But before I get to all the events from this weekend, let's go back and review the week...

On Tuesday, like I mentioned before, I had lunch with a few EAs at work. Then I had dinner with Judy and the girls since it was Priscilla's birthday. I can't believe she's two years old! She is so adorable. I completely forgot to bring Priscilla's birthday present so I went back on Wednesday and had dinner with them again. I love them so much ♥

A colleague also treated us to lunch on Wednesday. We went to Gindi Thai, which is a Japanese/Thai fusion restaurant. Yum! Got treated to Starbucks afterwards as well. And then later at work we had a surprise bridal shower for Cynthia. With cake! So much food...

I ate at the ** Cafeteria again on Thursday with Alex, Andy, and Duvien. And then that evening--my family from Korea arrived! It was so good to see them again after two years. And my aunt looks pretty good, considering. It was quite a happy reunion. Filled with gifts, kekeke.

Friday was our first "EA Lunch". Not a lot of people showed up, but a decent number. It was nice hanging out with other EAs and getting to know them a little bit better.

Then came this weekend. My aunt's 70th birthday is tomorrow, so we celebrated with lunch on Saturday (since that was literally the only time I had) with my family and a couple of family friends at Shogun. I'm so glad that my aunt is here and that she is (relatively) healthy and in good condition :)

Later on Saturday was Cynthia's wedding! It was at our church and I hung out with Jae and Debra the entire time, as well as a few coworkers who also attended. The reception was downstairs, and Cynthia and Sam did a great job of making the place look really nice. It was a beautiful wedding and reception, albeit very quick. It started at 3PM (also technically it started around 3:30PM) and we were out by 6:30PM. So I went home and had dinner with my family. And my aunt gave me one of her birthday gifts since she knew I would like it :D

Yesterday I drove to Emily's house where I met up with Mandy and Lina. Emily drove us all up to Newark, CA where she had booked us a hotel to stay at. Emily was quite the trooper--she drove the entire time. We stopped a couple times, once to eat lunch at Jack in the Box and once to get gas at Casa de Diesel. While we were getting ready, Maria joined us in our hotel room. It was great seeing her again. And then we all headed over to Ariana's wedding reception, where we met up with Tasha, her mum, and her cousin. The wedding reception was really nice! The venue was great, Ariana and Imad looked amazing in their outfits, and wow, Indonesian weddings are pretty spectacular. We had delicious appetisers as well as a great Indian buffet, and the wedding cake wasn't bad either.

Today we had complimentary breakfast at the hotel before we left. Mandy drove a bit and then Emily took over for the rest of the drive. We stopped by Casa de Fruta on the way and I had a complimentary wine tasting there ;) We then went to McD's for lunch. Man, the ride down was pretty hot! The car showed that it was 100+ degrees outside the entire ride down. I didn't even drive on the way down, but by the time I got home, I was exhausted! So I took a nap. So glad I took today off from work :D

This was some weekend. Congratulations to Cynthia&Samuel and Ariana&Imad on your marriages! I'm so happy for you ♥
