Day 113

Today I wake up later than usual, around 7.30 am, so after rolling for a bit in the bed I get up and go for the shower. When I’m getting ready I hear the kids, which means they already woke up and now it’s time for the food fight. When they finish breakfast, Chi Mi, Xuan, Phuc and me go to the market buy lunch and after choosing what to eat, Xuan and me go for breakfast at Lady Bulldog while Chi Mi takes Phuc home.

After breakfast we go home to pick up the motorbike and go for our morning coffee at Highlands coffee shop. While we are there, this guy starts talking with us and I learn that he lives in Orange County, likes tats but has afraid of doing it and has gangsters’ nephews that already have been arrested… no comments! It’s with all this excitement that we finish our coffee; we pay and go to the hair shop buy curling and straighten hair machines for Xuan. Then we head to Ben Thanh market to buy more fabrics to make clothes and when we’re leaving I see the watch a co-worker of my dad, Gustavo, wanted so I ask the price and keep it in mind in case I have to buy it.

When we leave the market it has start raining and we just want that the heavy rain doesn’t start while we’re out so we jump on the motorbike and go very fast home. A few drops fall but luckily the heavy rain only starts when we arrive home and start lunching. Thach Thao and Phuc are making their afternoon siesta and even if I feel like it, I prefer to finish a couple of things on the blog and then rest.

Miss Hoan shows up with our things from the tailor next to her house and the dress I had make for my mother is astonishing! My mother will be even more beautiful than what she already is! =) I’m impressed…

After checking everything and finishing the calculations on how much it would be, I go to my bedroom and rest a little bit more, at least until Xuan tells me she’s going to take the kids to the park and then we’re going for dinner with Chi Mi’s cousin and Xuan’s friend.

While she takes them to the park, I put a little bit of make up and get ready for dinner. Before Chi Mi’s cousin show up we still have time to go to the tailor in front of our house to order a couple more stuff to be done and then, when he arrives, we go to the barbeque place near our house.

Finally I’m able to take a photo with my waitress friend and her daughter. =) Now I just miss the friends who park the motorbike when we go there…

After dinner we go to Viva Coffee shop and while Xuan and Chi Mi’s cousin talk, I entertain myself taking pictures and watching S.W.A.T. or, as I like to say, when Colin Farrell was hot… =)

Around 9 pm we head back home where I take a shower and watch Snitch with Dwayne Johnson and Susan Sarandon. The movie it’s ok and I have to say I see Dwayne Johnson being beat up without giving it back… oh and there’s also Benjamin Bratt in the movie and he’s kinda cute too…

After Snitch I still don’t feel that sleep so I watch the 3 last episodes of New Girl and they can still stole a couple of laughs from me. Very funny!

It’s 12.30 am now and it’s already a brand new day but it’s also time to sleep so…

…Night night peeps!
