It was good to be back in LA, though I still can't see myself living there... maybe in 2 years? Who knows... But meeting up with life-long friends and just chillin in the city was great. Finally met Brayden (godson) for the first time. He's adorable! Hopefully he'll be the first asian-american NBA player and make millions of dollars. haha. Spent a lot of time playing Wits & Wagers... great game! Need to have a game night and play it in NY. Spending time with parents is always great, eating my mom's cooking, and eating fish that my dad caught.
Coming home was almost a nightmare. My flight was suppose to be 10:30... but was stuck at burbank airport for 3 hours and additonal 30 min. on the airport tarmac. My SF-->NY transfer flight was scheduled for 12:40, and I already missed that. The next flight was at 3:50pm, and so I rushed to the gate and I was the last one on board! Soon after I got in, they closed the door behind me and we started moving. If I had missed that flight, the next flight would have been at 10:20pm!!! Direct flights from now on, no matter how much more.
