my boss is fantastic.
did I say that right? FANTASTIC.
Yesterday was a Saturday night, a night that had possible potential to be insanely busy like Friday was (we left at 1:30am even if closing time was 12mn). When I got to work , Lily immediately asked if my mom got in ok. I told her yes and that that the whole family (nana and tito ans from Syracuse, Poy, Ana, Cherish from Brooklyn, Miya from Rhode Island plus the Elabdounis from Queens) are having dinner last night. By 7:30pm, the restaurant was empty so Lily looks at me and tells me I can go and run to Queens for dinner. I was like, "Are you sure?!? It's Saturday night! We might be busy!" She said it's a long weekend and people are probably out of town and she doubts it will be insane like last night. I hop on the subway and head to Sri Pra Phai where they were all waiting. Lily texts me if I got to dinner on time and I thank her graciously for letting me go. She replies telling me to enjoy and that she understands. GAWD and swerte ko shiyet.
Dinner was crazy. We ordered waaaay too much food but it was nothing none of us couldn't wipe clean. We took nothing home. Afterwards, we headed to a greek cafe for coffee since all 14 of us wouldn't fit comfortably in Tita Chon's apartment. The two dogs, Liby and Lucy were picked up and brought to the cafe with us since Miya wanted to see them. The doggies are technically hers from Japan and are only with Tita Chon since she can't take them to Brown with her and Tita Susan was based in Korea for the past two years.
I failed to bring a proper camera since I had no idea I'd be joining them. These are all I have.
Mama was able to bring over most of the books I've been missing the past few months (Calvin and Hobbes! HP!). Tita Chon brought them over to the apartment straight from the airport. I made them breakfast and they got to see the apartment. Richard was kind enough to switch days off with me and I'll be off on Memorial Day Monday. I'll be taking the folks into the city since they both want to go shopping and see a few sights.
