Especially now that I have my own sombrero thanks to Tracy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've came to the conclusion that I don't like partying all that much.   (I do like to dance!) I went through all of freshman year without partying.   As lame as that may sound, I don't think that I had missed out on much.   Actually, I don't really care for it.   I don't know how some people can go out every weekend to party.   Where do y'all get the energy?   Hah I feel like an old lady already.   I would much rather drive somewhere far and just chill on top of a hill.   But I would still be down for some fiestas every now and then.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-5476628478189666136?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/5476628478189666136/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2011/05/seis-de-mayo.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/5476628478189666136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/5476628478189666136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2011/05/seis-de-mayo.html' title='seis de mayo'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5182/5697080369_f5c679488d_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-6633876072805776131</id><published>2011-05-02T23:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-02T23:10:46.991-07:00</updated><title type='text'>freeport adventure</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5226/5682314913_f94e07185c_z.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 432px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5226/5682314913_f94e07185c_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5149/5682314183_8ccd5920a3_z.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 432px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5149/5682314183_8ccd5920a3_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5143/5682314025_a93a83a31e_z.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 432px; height: 640px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5143/5682314025_a93a83a31e_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5022/5682880924_9cd167e771_z.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 432px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5022/5682880924_9cd167e771_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5145/5682880780_0b0754fc7f_z.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 432px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5145/5682880780_0b0754fc7f_z.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally tested out my Rollei!

It can be a weekend trip or a week long trip.  I just want to see things.  But why is it that we can't afford to do so?  So many things and people in our lives to consider.  Of course, we have those priorities that keep us straight.  Yet sometimes I feel like my priorities are caging me in.  I want to rediscover that spontaneity element even if I have to sacrifice a few days of productivity.

As we drove pass Davis entering Winters, the sun finally began to creep out.  The ride to the lake was absolutely beautiful as we drove by farmlands and entered the mountains.  The road became extremely winding  as we reached the perimeter of the lake.  At one point, we saw a random peacock in the middle of road, a buffalo amongst a herd of cows, and possibly a black bear.  After visiting the Visitor Center, we were directed to the nearest hike called Smittle Creek.  It was quite a disappointment compared to my last adventure up in Bassi Falls.

This year Manuel planned a surprise party for her a week ahead, and it was quite a success!  We were all dressed up in our pretty dresses and dress shirts.  First we had dinner at a small Indian restaurant called Tandoori Night.  We had the largest group taking over most of the tables and plates and utensils until big families started coming in.

We had the regular ramen with miso soup, and it was delicious on a cold day.  Unfortunately, we won't be able to finish most of the things on the list by the end of year, since we just started today.  However, I am determined to get a good start on the 2011 list once it's out!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-3728320480552079411?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/3728320480552079411/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/12/lets-rock-n-roll.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/3728320480552079411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/3728320480552079411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/12/lets-rock-n-roll.html' title='let&apos;s rock-n-roll'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5168/5264741131_bff6c32f08_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-5536711609756834674</id><published>2010-12-13T23:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-14T00:32:05.277-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='school'/><title type='text'>home</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5259736709/" title="DSC_0961 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/5259736709_14b9e5de43_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0961" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5259736433/" title="DSC_0960 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5248/5259736433_37e1a201d1_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0960" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5258986215/" title="DSC_0912 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5050/5258986215_130455f3bd_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0912" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5258987495/" title="DSC_0923 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5044/5258987495_0e1774a456_z.jpg" width="425" height="640" alt="DSC_0923" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5259596638/" title="DSC_0926 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5259596638_3834e7d5ae_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0926" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5259732979/" title="DSC_0932 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5282/5259732979_0f975aed87_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0932" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been trying to transition into this care-free-stress-free lifestyle back home after a hectic fall quarter, and it's beginning to feel right again.  I had a pretty rough start, making all the wrong decisions here and there.  I'm just glad I ended the quarter realizing what I want (for now).  When winter quarter begins, I will declare managerial economics as my major and also work toward a global &amp; international studies minor.  Hopefully, I will have better time management between work and school and have a social life again.  I felt like a hermit crab all quarter, sitting in front of my desk.  There were days when I went without a single real conversation besides the "Hi, how are you?  $4.21 please.  Thank you, have a nice day."  I was pretty much in autopilot.  No more I say!  I am changing my life around!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-5536711609756834674?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/5536711609756834674/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/12/home.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/5536711609756834674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/5536711609756834674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/12/home.html' title='home'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/5259736709_14b9e5de43_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-7931883881272468694</id><published>2010-12-12T17:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-12T23:34:22.939-08:00</updated><title type='text'>i do's</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://bhh.smugmug.com/Professional/Weddings/NghiAnhTrieuPre/untitled/1121840271_MVzFe-L.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://bhh.smugmug.com/Professional/Weddings/NghiAnhTrieuPre/untitled-8/1121840971_PoZR7-L.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://bhh.smugmug.com/Professional/Weddings/NghiAnhTrieuPre/untitled-4/1121833605_wEjkE-L.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brother went down to Long Beach during Thanksgiving break to take these beautiful pictures of my cousin and her soon-to-be husband.

I went with him to the last day of the World Photography Festival at the Left Space Studio.  The event wasn't very crowded, and we managed to attend the photojournalism rountable and the Sony artisans series with Brian Smith.  Part of me want to jump into the wagon since both my brother and my dad invest in so many high-end film and digital cameras.  Why not take advantage of it since I do have the equipments at home?  Not to mention, my brother is turning our laundry room into a dark room to develop films.  It would be a great skill to know the correct techniques and the use of lighting and such.  However, for unknown reasons, I prefer being a complete amateur at it.  I just don't want to get technical at all.  I simply want to take pictures of the people around me and document my life.  That is all.  Although I do get very excited when a photo of mine turns out artistic and "professional" by accident.  So I left the event with the above quote from Brian Smith.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before we left San Francisco, we went to Burma Superstar to try Burmese food for the first time.  My favorite of the night was the tea leaf salad.  We pretty much tried all the suggested dishes from Yelp.  I am disappointed to say that Burmese food is not a favorite.  Or maybe my appetite is a little off today.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-2330185386722247726?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/2330185386722247726/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/take-your-friends-out-and-shoot-them.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/2330185386722247726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/2330185386722247726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/take-your-friends-out-and-shoot-them.html' title='&quot;take your friends out and shoot them&quot;'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4154/5197801408_765e39777e_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-3723813850322279769</id><published>2010-11-16T09:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-21T23:01:09.932-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='school'/><title type='text'>four years</title><content type='html'>I went to talk with my managerial economics adviser yesterday, and we made a rough academic plan of my remaining two years here at Davis.  I think I am underestimating the difficulty of double majoring in managerial economics with international relations.  I have yet to take any core classes for both majors, so I cannot judge.  However, I am firm on my major choices, so there is no backing out.  I need to take my studies more seriously after this quarter.  I am done fucking up.  I just need to finish my GE's and some prerequisite courses over the summer and take 16 units each quarter, then I should be able to graduate by 2013.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nart in me is coming out now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-3723813850322279769?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/3723813850322279769/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/four-years.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/3723813850322279769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/3723813850322279769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/four-years.html' title='four years'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-3119609425090052312</id><published>2010-11-16T08:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-06T02:54:34.372-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Davis'/><title type='text'>la fiesta</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5181258032/" title="DSC_0764 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1277/5181258032_f3af4c0da0_z.jpg" width="425" height="640" alt="DSC_0764" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5180635741/" title="DSC_0724 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1372/5180635741_0cc99f6c21_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0724" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5181259638/" title="DSC_0769 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1373/5181259638_1927b512d7_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0769" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5181260082/" title="DSC_0770 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1348/5181260082_0efc4280c9_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5181275140/" title="DSC_0809 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1313/5181275140_90e2a58232_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0809" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5180688567/" title="DSC_0852 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5180688567_060d3c618a_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0852" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5182108940/" title="DSC_0861 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1369/5182108940_b6ca766aa4_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0861" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5181486895/" title="DSC_0864 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1411/5181486895_93c0b2a116_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSC_0864" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy 20th Birthday Manuel!

Early in the morning we drove up to Placerville, and we were stoked to arrive in an hour.  Little did we know that our destination was much further than that.  By that, I mean another two hours or so.  From there, we went on a long drive on Ice House Road heading to the El Dorado National Forest.  The road was narrow and extremely winding, so we decided to take a break for lunch in the middle of nowhere.  As we continued on the road, we stumbled upon a beautiful and quiet lake in the Union Valley Reservior.  After we admired the view, we headed up the mountains.  At one point we decided to give up on Bassi Falls and settle for a nearby lake.  We ended up at Loon Lake, which happened to be the camping spot that Chris and Richard had gone to in the summer.  Unfortunately, the ground was already covered in snow by now.  My poor Corolla got stuck on the icy slope, and it couldn't reverse any further without the tires burning.  We were not prepared for the snow at all.  Heck, we didn't even expect to encounter any today.  In the back of my trunk, I had four cans of Swanson chicken broth that I was too lazy to carry into my apartment.  With nothing else at hand, we used those babies to break the ice!  It was the most ridiculous sight.  Three silly kids pounding the icy snow with soup cans.  Luckily, a truck stopped for us and pulled us out with a rope an hour later.  The men even directed us to the right direction to Bassi Falls.  After going through so much trouble, we had to see that fall!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good karma, I say!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-8358662722151697388?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/8358662722151697388/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/journey-to-falls.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/8358662722151697388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/8358662722151697388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/journey-to-falls.html' title='journey to the falls'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4103/5172872655_b155b2e1f9_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-3452409318073128921</id><published>2010-11-12T14:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-12T15:16:50.997-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Food'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Davis'/><title type='text'>fat face</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5170568326/" title="Untitled by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1415/5170568326_da4111a690_z.jpg" width="478" height="640" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5170574720/" title="Untitled by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5170574720_b89496edbe_z.jpg" width="478" height="640" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5169949263/" title="Untitled by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1205/5169949263_22bfc7da1c_z.jpg" width="478" height="640" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5170543666/" title="Untitled by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1045/5170543666_368a98cc20_z.jpg" width="478" height="640" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5170564042/" title="Untitled by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1398/5170564042_eb12eb410f_z.jpg" width="478" height="640" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vancy and Tran's Food Adventure part 2.&lt;br /&gt;On most Fridays Vancy and I like to treat ourselves after our classes.  This week is Fat Face.  This place was tricky to find, nicely hidden in a small alley of some sort on the corner of L and Fifth.  I tried their popular Cola-braised pork sandwich, which was tasty but overpriced.  $7 for less than a foot long!  I made a big mistake of getting the plum, basil, green tea popsicle.  I got too excited when I saw green tea that I completely  missed the BASIL part.  It. Was. Disgusting.  I'm sure the other flavors are worth a try (next time).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-3452409318073128921?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/3452409318073128921/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/fat-face.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/3452409318073128921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/3452409318073128921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/11/fat-face.html' title='fat face'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1415/5170568326_da4111a690_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-2834800019653013750</id><published>2010-11-07T21:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-07T21:27:21.548-08:00</updated><title type='text'>mom</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5156711403/" title="L1002375 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4153/5156711403_a6e9c9e3af_z.jpg" width="640" height="426" alt="L1002375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5157320636/" title="L1002378 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1144/5157320636_aa4deb914e_z.jpg" width="640" height="426" alt="L1002378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5157320450/" title="L1002377 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/5157320450_d80e122675_z.jpg" width="640" height="426" alt="L1002377" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 19 years, I can finally say I bought that present out of my very own paycheck.

However, I manage to keep myself very busy yet stressed at the same time.  Fortunately, work has been good to me.  I am quickly learning my way as a cashier in the Silo thanks to my fellow coworkers.  Since this is my very first job, I find myself being overly friendly and polite at times.  Everyone else just seems so chill here.  I guess it just takes time before I can get comfortable.  So my life has turned into another routine of school, work, and study.  I really do live for the weekends.  I make sure my Fridays and Saturdays are eventful, and my Sundays are reserved for more studying.  With that, I am content.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December, please come soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-70127730736321540?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/70127730736321540/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/10/changes.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/70127730736321540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/70127730736321540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/10/changes.html' title='changes'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-8715557234040872971</id><published>2010-10-09T22:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-09T22:30:16.688-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='San Francisco'/><title type='text'>twin peaks</title><content type='html'>I just love being on high elevation.

There is something quite liberating about it, and you just feel invincible.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-1668985445315712782?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/1668985445315712782/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/09/boardwalk.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/1668985445315712782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/1668985445315712782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/09/boardwalk.html' title='the boardwalk'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5024314566_c97d001ca7_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-3488328796185279585</id><published>2010-09-18T08:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-18T09:07:52.697-07:00</updated><title type='text'>korean night without the korean</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5001541682/" title="DSC02277 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5001541682_69df1c29bc_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC02277" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5000944493/" title="DSC02279 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4146/5000944493_d1f226c882_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC02279" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5001554084/" title="DSC02304 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/5001554084_cfe4e99f69_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC02304" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5000954745/" title="DSC02306 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5000954745_cd1c1c103a_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC02306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/5000959261/" title="DSC02303 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/5000959261_e052035bcf_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC02303" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rurulala was pretty awesome.

Their suburbs look just like ours.  I kept thinking we were still in California!  We didn't experience the real New York City until we stepped out onto Times Square at 2AM.  People everywhere.  Taxis everywhere.  Yet surprisingly I didn't feel the same excitement that I had before coming here.  Now it is time to say goodbye and move onto our next city/country along the east coast.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4115/4936681866_919876b4e0_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01799" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me clarify exactly what I am doing and what I have done in Peru.  Earlier this year, I just wanted to travel to a country that is not your typical England/France/Japan trip.  I first looked into South Africa, but the World Cup made it a very expensive destination.  Then my brother suggested Peru because he wanted to go see Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders.  To be honest, I had never heard of Machu Picchu before, and I had never considered going to South America because I thought it was still too close to home.  After browsing through a few sites, I decided to go with a half volunteer half tour trip with i-to-i.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I finally finished my first full week of work in Cusco, Peru.  To my surprise, our volunteer work was not as tedious and routinely as I thought.  Each day at Awana Kancha, we learned to do something new.  It was basically one big process, and each day was one step.  Day 1: took care of the llamas and alpacas.  Day 2: sheered an alpaca and spun the wool into thread.  Day 3: picked plants to make the dye.  Day 4: spun the thread again to make it stronger.  Day 5: weaved the bracelets.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936103651/" title="DSC01823 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4936103651_2eb87afe6b_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="DSC01823" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What did I gain from this?  The indigenous communities in Peru have such extraordinary skills and pride over their textile.  We, the volunteers, only had a small glimpse of the entire process.  The work is very time consuming, and it requires a great amount of patience and creativity and skills.  I was just in awe by how swiftly the men and women did their work.  The sad part is they get so little for the things that they make with such pride and joy.  We were not there long enough to actually help with the labor work.  However, what we learned at Awana Kancha, we can help promote their textile industry by telling others what really goes into each and every blankets, scarfs, purses, gloves, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall the camel conservation project was just a right mix of work and fun.  Now, the real tour begins tomorrow as we prepare for Machu Picchu!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

morning, we took a public van with Diego to the camel farm known as Awana Kancha.  The driver was pretty loco.  We were doing too fast too furious on a winding, narrow road up the mountains, passing up on the large trucks.  When we arrived, we had an hour tour with Luis.  Basically, our job is to feed the llamas and the alpacas, scoop up their poop, and learn to weave.  We work Monday to Friday from 9AM to 12PM.  The rest of the day is ours.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936109217/" title="DSC01834 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4073/4936109217_fc34120b1f_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936702302/" title="DSC01839 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4936702302_983ec61f9d_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="DSC01839" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936113485/" title="DSC01841 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4936113485_5c9a05024c_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="DSC01841" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936114039/" title="DSC01843 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4936114039_f3d69a0bc9_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01843" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936120211/" title="DSC01872 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4936120211_c0cdbcba09_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01872" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936712654/" title="DSC01880 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4936712654_27554fe1b1_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="DSC01880" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After work today, we went to the Plaza de Armas for the first time.  It was perfect timing because we happened to be there for the parade of Saint Don Brosca (the children festival?).  It was so cute watching the little children in colorful costumes marched down the streets.  I also went to my first Irish pub and (legally) ordered a Malibu with pinapple juice (only because we couldn´t get a Pisco Sour).  Overall, our first night out in Cusco was pretty awesome.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-7022052892219464014?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/7022052892219464014/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/08/trabajo.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/7022052892219464014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/7022052892219464014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/08/trabajo.html' title='trabajo'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4936680614_88efa2d180_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-1256435871091442614</id><published>2010-08-15T15:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-29T07:41:35.210-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Peru'/><title type='text'>hola!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936664406/" title="DSC01762 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4101/4936664406_0f6f81597d_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936665150/" title="DSC01763 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4936665150_8ea0f48c0f_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01763" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936076983/" title="DSC01765 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4936076983_4b781311b6_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01765" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4936077665/" title="DSC01766 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4936077665_8a5e323053_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="DSC01766" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have just arrived in Cuzco this morning after spending two days in the city of Lima.  Our homestay in Cuzco is very modern and cozy with a huge lounge, free internet, and Western toilet (they do not use the word ¨restroom¨ because they take it literally here as a room to rest) and shower.  Before coming here, we were warned about soroche (altitude sickness) because Cuzco is approximately 3,000 meters above sea level.  Amy and I couldn´t tell whether we were suffering from soroche or just tired from the lack of sleep when we landed.  The tradition here is to drink coca tea to cure soroche.  As the name implies, this is probably the closely thing to cocaine that I will ever try.  It actually tastes like any other tea.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, our work begins!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911721779830710638-1256435871091442614?l=eijsr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/feeds/1256435871091442614/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/08/hola.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/1256435871091442614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6911721779830710638/posts/default/1256435871091442614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eijsr.blogspot.com/2010/08/hola.html' title='hola!'/><author><name>Tran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16747452931270922730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KZnVQWDXIxk/TF-smbLIk_I/AAAAAAAAAHk/awx-VCF6iwc/S220/Untitled.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4101/4936664406_0f6f81597d_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911721779830710638.post-7257276575364433017</id><published>2010-08-10T22:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-10T22:36:11.131-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birthday'/><title type='text'>farewell</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4881588976/" title="DSCF5052 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4881588976_5cc094c007_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="DSCF5052" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy birthday James Chhun!

The place is literally a shack, and I just love the feel of it.  Then we met up with Manuel and his little brother Freddie for ice cream at Gunther's.  Today's beautiful weather called for a stroll in the park, so Andrew and I took advantage of it.  Later in the evening, we went to my "farewell" dinner at Thai Chili.  Thank you Connie for planning the event.

I hope it does not disappoint.  Second, I want to read.  Yes, I will actually do it this time.  Business and economics books and German short stories and the news!  I need to start learning shit.

We talked for hours about the things we did in high school.  Sadly our group has scattered to the point where I only see them individually.  I talked to Michelle at the bus stop; I caught up with Julianne on the way home from Davis; I hung out with Sharisse at her party; I chatted with Andrew Vu on AIM; I messaged Andrew Le on Facebook.  Back when I was a junior, the group was consisted of about 12 friends.  We did almost everything together.  Meeting up at Michelle's house, playing games at Andersen's, going to places in Sharisse's car, etc.  It is not the same, but meeting up like this is good enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4822427807/" title="DSC01409 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4120/4822427807_797077cf26_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01409" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4822428285/" title="DSC01410 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4115/4822428285_b75eec1df4_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4823046378/" title="DSC01415 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4098/4823046378_511b72231b_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01415" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4822431251/" title="DSC01419 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4822431251_9b7d124aea_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01419" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eijsr/4823050188/" title="DSC01427 by eijsr, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4823050188_d08ceddfb6_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="DSC01427" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure we are not kids from the Bay or L.A. or New York, but we manage to find something that makes living in the Grove more enjoyable.

Lily wohnte allein in dem Wald, aber sie war glücklich.  Sie konnte sehr gut nähen.  Ihre Kleider waren am schönsten.  Es war auch ein Mann, der Derek hieß.  Derek wohnte mit seiner kranken Mutter.  Zum Muttertag wolte Derek seiner Mutter ein Kleid schenken.  Daher ging er in den Wald und suchte Lily.  Sie sagte, dass sie das Kleid nähen werde, ob Derek brachte ihr jede Tag eine Blume .  Als Lily das Kleid beendete, hatte sie 30 Blumen für 30 Tage.  Derek war enttäuscht, wenn er das Kleid sah, denn das Kleid war hässlich.  Dann sagte Lily, dass er das Kleid fur seiner Mutter in eine Kirste mit die 30 Blumen legen sollte.  Als Dereks Mutter die Kirste offnete war sie sehr glücklich ein schönes Kleid zu finden.
