Whoops. It's been quite a while...It seems like we've finally settled into the flow of the big city and WOW time can pass by quickly. It feels like we've only been here a month or two, seriously, where the heck did the time go?!
But whether I believe it or not..it's almost May. Which means the best news of all; my parents get here in less than a week!! :) and not to mention my vacation is in less than 2 weeks. THANK GOODNESS. I'm in desperate need of a vacation, the 6 day work weeks are taking a tole on my sanity. Well...it's either the work weeks..or the rain. Maybe both. It's not even the rainy season and some how we've been getting thunderstorms like it's nobody's bidniss. They are fun though :) mainly because it stays about 80 all day and once it starts raining it feels like you're in a shower. I left for work the other day and it was beautiful out, super sunny and warm..perfect day for beer on the waterfront (of course I didn't listen to the weather forecast) as soon as I was heading home from work, I got out of the MTR in a tank top, flip flops and no umbrella..just to see the beginning of a thunderstorm. UGH. I got stuck trying to walk up stream while the water was flowing into the alleyway where the MTR exit was..slipped. lost a flip flop. hobbled back. and by then it was too late, I was completely drenched. Good thing I had no plans that night except to go home and sit on my butt while watching Suits. I stopped by 711 to grab handfuls of candy and ice cream though, so my night DID get better..eventually ;)
Eric and I did get to tour around a bit more. Even though our schedules never go along with one another. That's the bad part about only getting Sundays off..Eric always works Sundays here. :( womp womp. We did get to check out Ocean Park one day, only for a half day, but well worth it! SO much fun. Next on the list is Disneyland :D Hopefully my mama will want to check that out while she's here?!...crossing my fingers. I also got to go to Thailand for a weekend, it's so nice being able to do that. Hop on a plane on a friday and 2 hours later you're on a beautiful white sand beach. AMAZING. Anyways, Natasha and I had a blast in Phuket, we stayed near Patong Beach and laid out both days...got absolutely FRIED but also, well worth it!
Other than that, we've been mostly laying low. Going to our favorite restaurants and favorite whole-in-the-wall bars, staying in quite a bit too. Last weekend was our friend Jordie's birthday, his parents live up at the peak so the view is absolutely incredible. He hosted a huge beer pong tournament with about 30 people, SO much fun. The people there asked us if it's true that everyone plays beer pong when they go to "uni" in the states and that they have it at every party..we had to think about it at first, we didn't realize that it was true..hahah oh well, I guess that means we just practice a lot? :)
Last night was also pretty rough.."beer pong in wanchai" turned into "dinner at brickhouse -- drinks and hookah at ilan -- free shots -- more shots -- and LKF" ugh. Paying for it today.
Tonight I'm going to a friend's birthday dinner with some other girls. Should be a low key night..but who knows..Whenever I say that I seem to have a wild night. I need to stop doing that.
