- Coffee with some lovely friends: We called some friends to go out for dinner and coffee. I love Beef Steak, so the plan was go to the restaurant around 7:00PM, get some steak then go and have some coffee. I picked up an ex-co-worker at her house (5 minutes from my house). She is my favorite co-worker, very smart, kind-hearted and fun. We stopped by the former company, talked to my former boss, then we headed out to the restaurant with another pretty and lovely former co-worker. Hahaha, could you imaging that, i and two lovely ex.......................co-workers. We waited at the restaurant for some other male ex-co-workers but they did not show up. They were busy, they hanged up the phone,.... Finally, three of us did not want to wait any more. We went ahead and had dinner. It was so good. We left the restaurant and headed to "Net Viet" coffee. I went on my previous trip too. We got our corner, called around to get some more friends but NONE came. Hey, no problem for me
, with two pretty girls, i had nothing to complain. Actually we had some good time, listened to live music, talked about old memories, fun stuff that we did together. The only bad thing was my Margarita, it was horrible, horrible, i am telling you. If you have a chance to be around Texas, get yourself a top shelf frozen strawberry margarita. Margarita in Texas is awesome.
- Ran into a former student: She was one of my student whenever i was a student in college. She met my older brother at her work place so she knew that i was home. She got my Yahoo ID and my phone number. She called me on my phone and on Yahoo too. It was years that we did not see the other. So we agreed that we will have breakfast then go and watch a movie together. We just want to catch up on tales about the other. We went to a restaurant/coffee shop, the place was beautiful but the music was so loud that we did have a hard time to hear the other. We went and watched "Alien vs Predator 2". We wanted to go out for lunch but i promised my Mom to have lunch with her so we head home.
- Unexpected event: One of my friend asked me to go out for some coffee and may be dinner. I drove to her house, and by the time i tried to stop my motor-bike, i saw one of my best buddy (that did not come the the previous beef steak night
) stopped his bike in front of my friend house too. I was so happy to see him so i forgot that he stood me up. My first question was " What the heck are you doing here? The girl is going out with me tonight !" and this was the answer "Hey, i am not here for that girl, i am here for that girl's sister !". Hey, nothing to complain. We chatted for about 5 minutes before those two sisters went back to their house. Four of us head out to a pretty, lovely coffee shop that i could not remember the name. We had a good time there too. So much fun when that buddy of mine was around. He had us laugh so hard.
- A planned evening: So my buddy busted my plan, i planned another plan. I and my buddy girl went out for some country food. We ate all kinds of oyster (i could not tell the actual name of each kinds), it was really good. We stopped at another coffee shop. They has a small ditch than run around some coffee table areas. There were so many fishes under that ditch. They had live music too. I saw all the fishes gather at one section of the ditch and i asked my friend and myself "Are they enjoying the music or running away from it ?" The night was wonderful, i love to hang out with friend but do not get us wrong. There was no romantic thing here.
- Eating "RATs": yeah, we ate rats. My younger brother and some of his friends were talking about go to some country restaurant to eat rat. I was up for it. The food was good, but the place was kind of too off-the-road. My former-student called me on my phone, and i asked her if she want to try some rat meat. She was up for it too. It was so cool. We left the place around 9 PM and stopped at a near by coffee shop. some more chatting, old stories, and ghosts stories too. My former student said that she got scared. None of us believe her, she is a tough girl, she would scare the ghosts instead.
- Meet a friend that was a friend of my ex: I met her here on Yahoo 360. I knew nothing about her but she knew some about me. I reviewed my memory and she was not one of my exes. We didn't know or meet the other before. Finally, she told me that she used to work with one of my ex and that was the reason that she knew some about me. (thanks, ex. In both ways, sold me off and got me a new friend
) We planned to meet before but i got drunk and missed that chance. I let her pick out a coffee shop with one condition "No crazy lousy music". She did a good job, the coffee shop was small but nice, the music there was beautiful. We never met but feel like we already knew the other, we had some really good time, we talked about ourself (try to help the other know more about the new friend), told some stories, jokes. We left the coffee shop around 10:30PM. I drove with her home to her apartment to ensure that she went home safe. Hey, more friend means less enemy. I love to have more friend.
