Went to the Broad museum last night with Jenn, Ray, Leslie, Anthony, Arnold, and Jenn's colleagues/friend Hannah, her husband Curtis, their daughter Jaden, and later joined by the other colleague Taona. We hung out at Grand Central Market for some time.

It's been a while since I've posted.
I'm back in LA, having returned from my month in Brazil. Had a great time and I think my heart will always be partly in Brazil. I do want to retun at some point.
Fernanda just visited me here, she was around for the weekend along with Tyler.

I have been working on Rashid's assignments and preparing his case studies this week. We met on Wednesday and Thursday. So that kept me busy both days. I went to Starbucks on York on Wednesday evening and cranked out three case studies.
Now I'm off to the Rose Bowl to go for a run. I'm taking my mom and uncle with me. A bit conscious that they will see my tattoo.

Stressful Day

Had to tutor Rashid.
Had to make a presentation summarizing what I've been doing for Hichame.
Had to make it to Orange County for the Jack's Mannequin concert.
My mom got upset that I didn't move her bed upstairs. So I had to drive back home from Beverly Hills (picking up KFC in Glendale along the way) to do that.
It was hot. I was sweating.
Spend 3 hours working very productively in Pawn's dining room, getting the case studies don't.

The weather is still hot, into the mid-80s (F) each day this week. And it's projected to stay hot through the weekend into early next week.
This weekend is my last in LA. I'm planning to go to San Diego next weekend (19th) then drive to the Bay Area after that (around the 23rd). Then, I'll be back in LA for a bit and head straight to Australia for a month. (Yes, I booked my flights yesterday! Only $911 RT).
This morning I had my follow-up appointment with the doctor near our house. Everything was good; I have a perfect bill of health. Didn't see why I needed to show up there just to get my results, lol.
Worked for most of the day on Rashid's homework; it was basically translating/summarizing financial statement data into a Word document. But it took a bit of time.
I'm quite busy with all the tutoring. I basically have one student per day now, which is great financially but taking up my leisure time. At least it keeps me occupied each day. The latest student - Lamya - is just starting her Capstone Project, on food waste in Saudi Arabia. It is slow and tedious work.
My mom is recovering nicely from her knee surgery; she can walk now, and the pain seems to be subsiding. Today is the therapist's (Maria) last day, but the other therapist will take over soon and have my mom's staples removed.
Tita Cris and Tita Carrie visited the house today, they chatted and laughed with my mom. Tita Cris brought zucchini bread which was amazingly delicious.
Decided to hit up my homies for drinks tonight. Looks like Ang, Adrian, and I are going to DTLA Artwalk. Woot!

Groundhog Day
Tuesday, February 2, 2016Sitting at a café, sipping my decaf soy latte, watching a Land Rover run a homeless guy off his bike. Sometimes my life is so LA.
My mom is still in the hospital, recovering from yesterday's surgery. My uncle and I cleaned the house's door this morning.
Visited my mom again this afternoon. Listened to Freakanomics podcast on the drive over (development goals and bang for the buck).
My mom had her therapy, learning how to walk. She's still in pain but everything is going smoothly so far, thankfully.
I had a Skype call scheduled for 3pm. My uncle wanted thai food. So we walked to a nearby restaurant that had wifi. My call got rescheduled. It's confirmed that I'll be meeting my coworkers in San Jose in a month.
I was texting Mike and a few other close friends; updating then on my mom's status. It feels good to keep in touch, but it's also biter sweet to open up about something so personal.
31 January 2016 - Rainy Day & Surgery Prep
Sunday, January 31, 2016
Rainstorm moving across southern California today; it's windy. I'm staying inside.
My mom has her knee replacement surgery tomorrow. I am keeping it mostly out of my mind, but it does make me nervous. We have to go to the hospital at 5am for preparations, etc. She will stay in the hospital for a day or two recovering.
Spent some time tweaking my "Imaginary LA Metro System" map. Adding better connections to South LA.
