Day 119

Today Carlos arrive and we have a busy day so when I wake up I do my usual stuff like showering and get ready for another day. When Xuan’s ready we head to Lady Bulldog for breakfast, it will be my last meal there so when we finish I go and hug her and she gets very surprised.

Then we pick up the kids at home and go for a quick cà phê sữa đá at Highlands coffee shop with the kids because at 11.30 am my friend Thuong is going to be picking me up in front of the cinema so we go for lunch. The kids run around a bit and at 11 am we leave to head home.

I kill a little time at home and then go to the front of the cinema to wait for Thuong. She shows up a couple of minutes after and she looks very pretty, even with the flip-flops on! =) She takes me to an Italian restaurant in the center called Pendolasco and while our food is being made we eat foccaccia and real good bread. Then her pizza arrives and my risotto ai funghi porcini too and it’s amazing. The food is really good and, even if I’m really full, we order dessert, panna cotta, which is also to die for.

The lunch is a success and I’m very happy to have found a friend like Thuong and very lucky to have her in my life.

It’s time to go as Thuong as a meeting so she leaves me at Ben Thanh market and I walk home with an adventure in the middle: while walking towards the park, a cyclo drives stops me, says my tattoo is very pretty and then hugs me and kisses me in the cheek and doesn’t want to let go, when I manage to get away from him a walk faster just in case his friends have some weird ideas.

At home I kill a little bit of time before I go for a Mani Pedi and cut my hair, I’d also dye my hair but they don’t understand me so I’ll have to come back tomorrow to dye it. When I finish it’s time to go pick up Carlos at the airport so Xuan, the kids and me call a taxi and head to the airport; while going there I start feeling sick again, I guess it’s anxiety…

After picking up Carlos we go back home and have dinner, rice soup for me, and then go to Avatar Karaoke for Diem Manh b-day party, which is very fun and Mick and her even exchange promise rings… romantic! =)

After a while I start feeling sick again and I need to go home so I say goodbye to everyone and walk home with Chi Lam.

My strength is not as much as I need for a shower so I just put the p-jays on, tuck in bed and fall asleep while watching some more episodes of revenge…

 Night night peeps!
