Sunday Date

R finally had some time off Sunday and after getting over being mad at him over the Costco eggs, we drove down to Mountain View to get some soondubu, which is the equivalent of driving out to LA or Garden Grove from Cerritos.  Afterwards, we went to a Korean bakery and had coffee and bread~ I love tapioca bread and love, love gombo bread even more. 

Today is a sunny but chilly and windy day~ ugh, not my favorite.  

R is 50/50 about going to b-school now.  The idea of b-school and MIT appeals to him, but things are improving at his company and he’s questioning whether management is the way to go.  Deep down inside, he’s a hard-core geek who loves coding. I think it’ll be so cute if our daughter follows in his footstep ~ imagine, a kick-butt computer geek in pink.

My mom is generally impatient, but she’s really just waiting and waiting for Baby A to come out.  R’s mom and dad are pretty anxious to even though they are the chillest parents ever.  R’s dad even created an email address for BabyA: alexiscutechoi at yahoo dot com.  Everyone is waiting… 

L’s friend Joanna’s bday was on the 17th, C’s bday is the 21st, S’ bday is the 26th, J’s baby’s bday is the 20-something-th.  There are a lot of March babies and L’s theory is that babies born in March are fun and sociable.  I wonder what her theory is for April babies?!?  It’s quite possible that both me and Christine could have April babies!  

I’ve been look at job sites these past few days.  After doing some studying for my PR class and solving some issues with our taxes, I realized that I do like this stuff.  Scratch that, I don’t love it, but I like the satisfaction of solving problems and learning how to over come difficult ones – the final destination, though not necessary the frustrating process, makes me feel good and happy.  (Now, it is worth it? The frustration during the process – is that worth it?).  I really don’t know what our future holds except that there will be a new variable in our lives.  And I can’t predict that that will do to us, in terms of planning for our futures.  Like everything else, we’ll just have to wait and see.  Thank goodness I’m a patient person. =)

I wish I had the educator gene ~ to come up with creative ways to teach people and to be able to explain anything to anyone.  I don’t know why I thought of that.  

Anyhow, there is a really interesting article in the 2/14 Economist, Beyond Wisteria Lane about the middle class and how they fit into society and how they’ve developed over the years. I first hear of the Maslow’s pyramid, a hierarchy of needs, here: At the bottom, food/shelter, sex/sleep, then “belonging needs” like love, acceptance, affiliation, then “esteem needs” like self-respect, social status, then approval of others, then at the top “self-actualisation needs” (i.e., “a musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.”).  I just thought it was interesting/funny/whatevers, it’s just got me thinking. 

R ran 8 miles a couple nights ago.  

And his sister ran a marathon on her own, for fun this past weekend.  She’s crazy.
