Balikbayan Boxes Full of Pencils

I arrived in Sacramento last night and upon arrival, I found my parents living room full of paper towels, toilet paper, lotions, shampoo, instant coffee, sugar, Walgreens bags, soap, Hershey’s assorted chocolate, pencils, and pens. There were also four balakbian boxes waiting to be filled. Each...

Sacramento

Sacramento, the capital of California, has a pretty old town centre. In a record shop I became friends with Brittany who worked there. She later invited me to a party / concert at one of her friends house which was a very nice event, full of heartful performances from young singer /...

Day 1

152,674 read my odometer as I pulled out of the gas station near my house in Oakland. $4.05/gallon was the price. 11:42am was the time. I was on my way. There is something momentous about taking your first steps toward an unknown adventure. The theme from 2001 hanging in the air. Chauncy Gardner...

It Starts

I started my trip early in the morning, leaving my house at 6.30 am (and only sleeping 2.30 hours that night because I was so excited) and I arrived at the SAC airport at 7.20 ready to fly at 9.30 am. I said goodbye to my parents who were going golfing after seeing me off. It was funny because...

Dad's Trip

Dad came over this week! I know it seems a little odd, but it was so nice of him to do it and I appreciated it a lot. On Friday I was told he was coming Monday, so I didn't have much time to stress about what to do. It all worked out well in the end. I rode BART all the way to San Fran...

Finally getting my camera back...

I've finally received my camera and camera case!! By now, I had acquiesced to the fact that somewhere in Thailand a postal worker was making good use of it. But, alas, it found its way home after apparently first going to the wrong zip code. Now that I have the photos and email...

Happy Birthday (James)

So January 8th was my birthday. It was planned for me to return to San Diego yesterday, but my journey and trip still continue. Last Wednesday we rushed my grandmother to the hospital. She was incoherent, had a temperature of 102, and hadn't passed any urine in over 12 hours. When we got her...

Family (James)

In July, when my grandfather was given 3 to 6 months to live, he asked to die at home. To do this meant that he needed 24 hour care. To grant his wish, each of my family members took a "shift." This meant staying at his house either during the day, over night, or just a few hours here and there....

Mourning (Rob)

With a trip like we are having, you could say that I am probably presenting a misspelling on the title of this blog entry. It’s basically a play on words, since it is morning right now. However, it is the end of a long day. After waking up this morning, James and his sister, Janne, were...
