African Choir

Our church has put together an African choir, or rather, the African members of our church have put together a choir, lol, and they performed for us two Sundays ago. :)

Flo's Last Day

Flo's flight was scheduled to leave at 3am Sunday morning, so Saturday was the last day we had together. We headed to Chatuchak Market in the morning for a bit, just to roam the stalls and grab a smoothie. Then we took the MRT to Siam where we had lunch and then saw Dark Shadows(Tim Burton, Johnny Depp); it was kinda cheesy, but well done.

We had a bit of time after the movie before dinner with friends that evening, so we just chilled outside Siam on the benches in the plaza, signed a couple boxes for a charity event in the square, and just people watched.




Dinner that night was at Sizzler for Yumi, Darrell, and Edd & Ingrid's going away. Yumi is moving to the States to work at the University of Minnesota, Darrell's moving back to Malaysia to help care for her family, and Edd & Ingrid are staying in Thailand, but moving to Cha Am for 3 months, and then to Isaan for...who knows how long.


Flo talked with almost everyone, and they all seemed to love him. The group went off to do something else after dinner, but we had to get back home to grab his stuff and head to the airport.


For some reason, this goodbye wasn't as difficult as the others; maybe because I wasn't the one leaving, maybe because we aren't in a relationship anymore, maybe because I knew it was for the best, or maybe because I just didn't have any tears left.

Dinner and Other Mayhem With Beatrice

Thursday night, after returning from Koh Samet, Flo and I had dinner at the top of the Baiyoke Tower.




Friday, Flo and I spent the day in the city with Beatrice. We stopped at the market next to my school first, then met her in Bangkok for lunch at Big Mama's Pizzeria.


Spent the afternoon wandering and shopping at MBK and finished at Dunkin Donuts. Hilarity ensued.

Flo's Visit

Flo came to Thailand to visit me, and arrived a few days before I returned from the States, so he was there waiting for me at the airport when I landed in Bangkok. We headed out to Koh Samet the next morning, and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.











I'm a dog person...

Home For a Week

With the little bit of annual leave I had left, I gently twisted my parents' arms into bringing me home for a week to visit friends and family. Knocked out two doctor's appts and a dentist appt, attended the Stockton Asparagus Festival, made trips to Chico, Mountain View, Roseville, Lathrop, Cool, Sacramento and Placerville to visit friends, spent one Saturday with cousins and grandparents and the next helping with a dear friend's garage sale, got in four good nights of line dancing at the Davis Grad, and even managed to hurt myself 3 hours after arriving in Ca. I was pretty lame with my camera that week (sorry), so my pictures are a bit random.
My poor toe after the mirror attacked it (and two days after it stopped bleeding)

The Asparagus Festival!

MMMM..Deep fried goodness
