Debutante

I got my driver’s license today, and as always, i look like a f****** munchkin on it. I hate ID pictures. I always seem to look weird-er and fat-er (not that I don’t look weird or fat enough in person.. it’s just my weird and fat features seem to be more accentuated on them darn shots).

We had a family dinner to celebrate Mothers’ Day and my dad’s arrival from San Diego yesterday. Though I ate a mouthful, I didn’t really feel guilty about pigging out because, I think, this is the first time in weeks that my family has sat down together to enjoy a decent meal.

It was a fun dinner too. We had a Korean-barbecue style dinner. My mom brought the griddle and we cooked our own beef, chicken, or shrimp allotments. That’s 5 more pounds right there.. But it’s all good. I actually love it when my family eat together. My mom was close to tears when we were cheering for her because it was our Mothers’ Day dinner..

“It’s been a while since our house had this much laughter..” she said. “Now, we’re all here. Daddy’s here. And we’re eating together again..”

“Ma, don’t go all emo on us..” I quipped.

“I know I know.. I just like us like this..”

Awww..

Times like these make me forget all the mishaps that happened to me all through out the day.

It was a b**** looking for a parking space in the morning.

My music teacher reprimanded me (and 3 others — in a very subtle way) for my very-visible bra strap.

I sat on fresh bird poop.

And I forgot my house keys.. so I had to carry my sister up my shoulders to sneak through the side door..

Man..

Today was pretty interesting…
