LIFE.

ralph caught another snake.

yes, he caught another gardener snake. too bad i wasnt there to snap fotos. but my dad and sis said it was all coiled up on the mat next to the sliding door with its head peeking inside the house. the snake was bleeding by its head. ralph just wandered the backyard the whole time after dropping the snake off next to the sliding door. thanks ralph.

yesterday was jennys moms funeral. it was an eye opening ceremony. they had monks present with all the incense burning. its crazy how we culturally all have different rituals. i never thought i would be at that cemetery twice in a matter of seven months. it was a beautiful and peaceful day. it was good seeing all the friends together. ive said it before but death is only a part of the cycle of life. there is death but on the other side of the spectrum, there is birth. it sucks that we have to go through death but thats LIFE. we must move on the way the deceased would have wanted us to and live the life they would have wanted us to lead. sure we MUST NOT forget, but we must not dwell.

afterwards we had lunch at east buffet in miramar. i dont like hardcore asian buffets or restaurants. what do i mean by hardcore? when you see a tray with chicken feet in sauce, fish heads, etc.

we finally got our first basketball win! i told this to ojay already but i told him i respect him so much more. i respect his b-ball skills already, but to have the ballz to take a 3pt shot with 10 seconds running, down by 2, and still have the perfect release, and make it without touching the rim, is INCREDIBLE! i know my part on the team and thats to fill in as a backup while the starters re-energize on the bench. so if i play 1 min or 10 min im happy! as for afterwards, all i can say is MONEY TALKS.

at the after party at cheers, i didnt even know i was drunk until i woke up this morning. i didnt eat since lunch and i woke up with my stomach knocking.
