Thanks Giving Weekend!!!!!

Thanks Giving weekend was pretty good as always.  I'm always thankful of my family who always been there for me.  On that day of Thanks Giving, we were invited to attend 2 of my uncle's Thanks Giving feast. That's how it is every year, going to uncles house to eat. when we arrived at their house, the house was full of uncles, aunts, and cousins too.  Just looking at all the food that they had prepared.  Egg-rolls! Turkey! Fish! A noddle soup! And many more of Hmong food!  it was a pretty big feast that was going on that day.  they also had desserts! Pies, cake, and ice cream.  after all that food, we had to go my in-laws too.  They had about the same food their.  so it was still good to eat anyways. That was a lot of food we had to eat in one day.  It felt like I gain fifty pounds.  I had to loosen up the belt buckle. Ooh.. I can't forget about the drinking too. At my uncle's house, he just kept on passing out shot of Hmong liqueur.  And that stuff is pretty strong.  I had about 4 shots and felt like i was junk already.  All day we went about eating and drinking.  We had a good time.  I think next year Thanks Giving, i should really cut down on my eat and drinking.  But in the end;the food was the best part.

Happy Brithday!!!

 

Wow!!!!! It seem like he was a little baby, now hes grow up so fast.  Its his birthday today Nov. 16th. Wow!!! He's FOUR now!!It was six in the morning when my wife and I told Vincent that it was his birthday.  He just look at us in daze and all he wanted is to go back to sleep.  As that morning went on.  I got him up, gave him a bath, and got him dress.  The wife had plan to go down stairs to get his little cake ready for him.  As the time came closer to go down stairs, the wife had lighten the candle and video cam in her hands ready to video him.  Vincent took the last step down, his face glowed with a big happy face.  IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! MOMMY. That was the word that came out of his mouth, the sound of joy.  After we sung HAPPY BIRTHDAY and he blew out the candle, all he wanted to do is dive right into the cake "face first".  "The birthday gift" as my wife said.  I pointed to the closet, and said "It's in there".  As we gave him his presents, he just opened up the toys and started to play with them all.  He also wanted to took them to grandpa house too.  As that was a perfect morning for Vincent, it was all about seeing him excited. Over all, the master plan of this goes to my wife. I thought it would be too early to do his birthday.  I guess I was wrong.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCENT!!!!!

Article. Give Away!

As I was at work, working the late shift! Nothing to do like always. Just standing there waiting for customer to come in.  As time went on, I got bored and went to get the local paper to read.  The only time I'll read the paper if there is something weird  or some thing that might be interesting.  I came across an article of a couple who won the lottery "about 11.2 million dollars" in Canada. "Wow!!! Thats lucky! I wish it was me!" The head lines reads. Allen and Violet Large gave all the winning to a charity.  I thought to myself  "why?" You could of use that money for a lot, a lot of things.  As i kept reading it got pretty interesting. From this statement I thought i good pretty good  “What you’ve never had, you never miss,” Violet said.  It came to my mind as how thoughtful one person to be. Most of all, I like when  he stated “That money that we won was nothing. We have each other.”  Now this person doesn't care about how money he has in his pockets, in the end its you and her.  As I read on, it showed the couple picture.  Wow!!! I thought them to be a younger people like in their 60 or so.  But in the end it was a great thing what the couple did.  I guess! I don't there will be people out there would do that.  Most people  would take a break (long vacation) from work just to travel.  Or, might just go on a shopping spree, just to see how much money can you blow off on.  What would you do with all that money?

Upcoming Weekend!

This coming up weekend is going to be busy.  Have to plan out the ceremony party for my two son.  The ceremony is called Hu Plig,  it is used when one spirit is not in good health, loss, happy, and many more.  I hope everything goes well as we planned.  We still have to do a lot of food shopping for the event. Also, I need to get my parents house ready too.  We have invited all the cousins, uncles, and aunts to come and celebrate the moment with us.  This is going to a average size feast.  I don't think I would want this to be any bigger then it is!  Hu Plig tends to be on the pricey side.  You'll be looking to sent at least 1000 dollars.  for our ceremony, the budget we plan for the event might cost us about 800 to 900 dollars. I hoping for us to spent only  800 dollars. So my weekend is plan out.  I know that it is going to be a hard weekend. You might not know this, but he prepare a lot of things just to get this ceremony.  We have to call of pigs, chickens, and shaman.  Plus you have to call your entire cousins, uncles, and aunts to come.total for the event.  Just this ceremony it takes time.  It might sound easy, but I think its hard.  So, I just hope this weekend will go as plan.  Hope that nothing goes wrong with it.
