Weather like today makes me wish I lived in Hawaii where it's warm and sunny. But I guess I shouldn't be complaining because it's a toaster here compared to all those other places where it's snowing and hailing.
Christmas at home was good...I was hoping that it'd be sunny and warm in OC but it was just as cold and rainy as it is here =P Going home, I realized that my parents don't treat me like they used to. Before, when I was in college, my parents made an extra effort to give me a good homecoming. But now, since I'm "all grown up", forget the special treatment.
First, my mom sends me out to the mall the two worst days of the year (Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas) and I nearly get killed by psycho women in their over-sized 5 ton SUVs. Guys, you think girls are scary when they're PMSing? Women are VICIOUS when it comes to shopping!
Second, my parents tell me (on Christmas) that they're taking me off their car insurance so I have to find my own company. Merry Christmas!
Lastly, the day I'm leaving my mom suggested we go to a sushi buffet to eat lunch. What??? This is coming from a woman who detests buffets because they promote gluttony. So I get all excited and stuff myself silly. After I finish eating, my mom says "eat more". Ok, something's not right here...what happened to my food nazi mom? After I said I was full she said "Oh good...so you don't need to eat dinner right?" WHAT??? You're talking to a girl who can eat at a buffet for all three meals of the day, and she asks me if I don't need to eat dinner??? Ok whatever, skipping a meal won't kill me...I could use it after gorging myself for 4 days.
But I know that at the end of everyday, they cry themselves to sleep because they miss me so much...They just don't say it because we're the typical non-emotional Korean family.
Speaking of non-emotional...my sister is the epitome of non-emotional. My sister was going to a basketball tournament in Pismo Beach and wasn't coming back until after I leave. So when I dropped her off at school and told her that I won't see her again for a while she paused and said, "Oh yeah...Bye!" and slammed the door and walked off. No "have a safe flight", "I'll call you"...nothing, nada. That's sisterly love right there.
