the grass is greener
The days where I wish I lived in San Diego are coming more often now. Yesterday was one cousin's 21st birthday and they all threw her a surprise party. Today is another's high school graduation. Last week, I really wanted to be there for Missy in person.
Then when I'm home and pulled in twenty different directions and end up doing all these things I don't necessarily want to do, I want to be away again. I love living up here and one of the main reasons is that I can live my own life and not have to deal with every event my millions of family members have.
But it still hurts to miss stuff like this, especially when I'm technically not working today...

i'm so sorry about your cousin kara, its tragic. your family needs a happy event to offset all these funerals, you guys are due.
have fun at the game today, i also just realized that since the padres are playing the angels i could watch all the games this weekend...if they aren't painful.
I also miss a lot of other things about san diego, but that's for another day.
the flipside? I hardly slept at all this weekend because I felt an emotional weight from all the junk going on and what I was going to do about it. Being there comes with a lot of responsibility.
by the way, guys, thanks for all the dinner suggestions! it's hard to plan a family dinner when you don't even live in the area and don't know what restaurants are around!! We ended up going to Buca's (bc some of them hadn't been there before) in Mira Mesa but I'm keeping all of your suggestions in mind because now that my aunt is gone my sister and I will probably be doing most of the dinner planning from now on (hooray for being a filipino girl).
