"the best is yet to come."

the lakers have just whomped the rockets once and for all this season. this has just been one of many highlights this past weekend. i got to chill with my dad in little tokyo and enjoy a great lunch at shabu shabu house...the original is still the best (but yojies is my favorite...family ties ya dig). even though plans for gyu-kaku ultimately failed on friday...dub, jee, matt, fred, arthur, and i had quite the exquisite seafood dinner at king's fish house.

i finally watched the wrestler, seven pounds, and last chance harvey. i recommend all these movies for your viewing pleasure. superb storytelling and acting with plenty of lessons to learn along the way to the closing credits.

the crosstrainer end-of-the-year party went down last night and it was good to see everyone chill out and eat to their hearts' content...thanks to the taco lady. it's been a different kind of season for me since i didn't go on any retreats and i had to focus more on school but it's been a spiritually rewarding one for me nevertheless. i look forward to coming back next season in full force.

i started maternal/child health on may 13, and at this point in our journey to be nurses, my class is starting to see the finish line. we're less than 8 weeks away from graduation. i'll save my thoughts on concorde for a better time. i'm just excited knowing that starting this week...we're going into full acute-care mode. that is definitely good news as we don't have to drive ridiculous distances to perform long-term care anymore. i've learned much from those experiences but it's time to move on and learn more things...and for that i'm happy.

july 7 is slowly becoming a reality.
