My coworkers will tell you that I have an affinity for food. The first thing I do when I get to my desk in the morning is IM everyone a simple greeting of good morning, i'm hungry. I don't understand my extreme craving for food for I certainly don't eat much, but if given the choice... I'd be happy to eat throughout the entire day. I guess what I like most about it is the sense of warm fuzzies you get eating and chatting with your friends. You get your fill of food and camaraderie all in one sitting. Sort of getting full in heart and stomach. To say the least, I love love love to eat.

Three taiwanese people and one hungry white boy
decided to have a fun filled huo guo night. And of course, I was of no help... too busy snapping pictures of everything, giggling and exclaiming ooh ooh! photo op photo op!!!! Hey in my defense... my Nikon did set me a good 600 back so might as well make good use of it. Plus, they say practice makes perfect right? Justin, an actual photographer by profession, went on to explain what all the buttons and doohickeys were on my D50. After dinner, he whipped out his portfolio and I blurted out, "oh CRAP! you're actually really good! I should have been paying attention earlier. oh, poopie..." -_- Luckily for me, he's in love with my close friend, Annie so I plan to suck his wisdom dry in the future. Huo guo nights are so much fun. During the planning phase, when asked if she had any sha cha at her place, Annie's response was an incredulous, "what kind of taiwanese house is it if not complete with sha cha???" Ah, how true that is.
It was great seeing everyone again. I think Richard guh guh and I have made it a tradition to celebrate everything from Christmas to birthdays a month or two post date. That way we have something to celebrate all year 'round. That's what great friends are... people who you can share that certain bond with no matter how much time has passed.
richard guh guh and i
the pot that feeds all
the liao (english translation: stuff you put in the pot that feeds all)
