Long time no post. I have been wanting to but I realize blogging is fun but I have to think of why I am doing it. Part of it is an archive of interests of things I like etc. Songs, dramas, foods, travels and places and when I look back it is fun. I am lucky and blessed to have technology save this all for me.

This time a year ago I was in Asia---South Korea and Taiwan to be exact. It was the sisters' adventure. My lil sis first time in Asia and I used my AA miles for the both of us (now I don't have enough for a free flight). It was worth it. After the Boston Marathon Bombing (I missed them by being on the MBTA Subway from Copley to Hynes Convention Stop. I guess it was not my time. Thank you god. So after that, I changed my ticket rsvp to add my sis. Boy it was an adventure. I used my Korean and Mandarin skills to the fullest as she has ZILCH. My friends/hosts and their families were amazing , generous and kind.

But before the trip I had to struggle with lots of work for the B/D transition. I was grateful for my sis to help me during that time. Even after my Asia Trip adventure I still had a lot of OT and long weekend hours. I do not want to relive that time at all again if I can avoid it!

Just wanted to write something as it has been awhile. When I have another chance will write more. Thankful my friend is visiting for her annual conference til Saturday. I cannot believe her father passed unexpectedly at the age of 50 while we were in our layover. I will always remember getting the Kakaotalk message while in Dallas. It was shock. Reminds you to be there for your loved ones and you never know when your time comes.

At the age that weddings are not often for me in my group of friends. Now usually from newer friends, but did get an invite of a classmate one year ahead of me during college in my house. Wow! But I wonder as it is the weekend after I get back from Asia. I am going to be tired so not sure if it is wise for me to go.

This past weekend, I went to a wedding the Mandarin Oriental in town. It was beautiful, elegant and chic. But the highlights were seeing good friends, seeing my friends getting married, catching a close friend doing his thing as a wedding photographer! Kind of cool to have him as my friend and that the bride liked him.

As with any event, there are highs and lows. I saw with the bride's family unexpectedly as I actually two of the groomsmen and their wives attending so I thought I would be seated near them. But it is ok I was just one person so it was fine and good.

Spending time with good friends is always nice. Gosh that circle of friends is complete they are all married off save moi. Hmmm.
