Wedding: Anita & Neil

08.24.2008
Safari Texas Ballroom

Like all Viets have their wedding reception at Kim Son, I think a lot of Indian folks have their reception at the Safari Texas Ballroom. It's a really pretty place! This was my very first Indian wedding. Neil and Anita actually met and hooked up at my old job. It's really crazy seeing them going from being all flirty and now they're frackin' MARRIED. If I had to sum the wedding up tactfully, I would have to use the word inneresting [sic]. But honestly, it was prolly the most boring wedding I've been to. And it started sorta late too! The time on the invitation said 6:30pm. They didn't seat us until an hour after that. And then, we were all just sitting around waiting some more. They didn't start announcing the family members until about eight something. The reception started out with a bride/groom roast as well as stories that really touched the heart. The bride is probably the most chill female I've ever met. She's just completely easy going and 100% drama free. So the groom is very lucky to be marrying her! Her friends gave speeches that brought the bride to tears. Two of her bridesmaids were friends that she met back when they were in middle school! That's truly amazing. That's something that I really envy mainly because I've never been the kind of person to have such long standing friendships except for a few here and there. I don't have qualms about getting rid of 'supposed' friends. I only want people in my life who are there for me as much as I am for them. Fair-weathered and selfish users and abusers, move outta my way! Good friends are few and far between. Don't y'all agree?

Anyhoo, there was lots of dancing, lots of stories, and lots of vegetarian food. That's right. VEGETARIAN. I was mos def not feeling the food. They didn't even begin to serve the food until about 10pm. I was feeling so miserable and HUNGRY. I didn't even get a wedding favor because it was one per family and I was my friend's date so only one of us could take it. And she ended taking it since I didn't think I would have any use for it. Blah. I guess the best part about the wedding was that I got to see all my ex-co-workers. I met some great people there.

Dance!Dance!Dance! ... Twist the light bulb and pet the dog. Hah!

The TNOX trio together again!

Holiday: Labor Day

Happy Labor Day folksies! The bf and I just got back from a super fun and active and tiring weekend in Austin. Good ole Austin. Each time I go there, I begin to love it more and more. Road and street layout sucks mayjah though. It's super late but I was in the mood to post. There was a nice breeze out tonight when we got home and were unloading all our stuff. Goes to show just how strong Gustav is. Wanna know how active my weekend was? My arms and legs are frackin' sore as shizzle. My arms are so sore that it's difficult to merely pull my pants up after a satisfying number one. Man. Could my thought process be anymore choppy? Anyhoo. More pics to come. When? Not sure. Days. Even weeks!

I'm a big big girl in a big big world.

Musik Mundi: Busta Rhymes feat. Linkin Park

I know I said that I would make this week Natasha Bedingfield's week, but I changed my mind. On my road trip this weekend, the bf's friend played this new-to-me song by Busta Rhymes that features Linkin Park. Yayuh! The opening keys is my favorite part. I don't even know if it's part of an album but I'm feeling lazy and a bit preoccupied so I'm not looking anything up. The song reminded me of Fort Minor's Remember The Name, mostly because of Mike Shinoda's rapping.
