Reconnecting
The holiday season is a great time (and excuse) to get together with people you haven't seen in awhile to reconnect and catch up.
It was ladies night on Saturday night. We all enjoyed a night out to dinner to hang out and catch up with each other. As good as the night was and as much as I enjoyed myself, can I just say for the record, that girls who can't be separated from their other halves for ONE evening...really piss me off. I have nothing against the boyfriend...and nothing against the couple in general...but you know, sometimes it's nice to be able to have fun and hang out with someone without their other half around. Why? Not because you're doing anything you're not suppose to be doing, not because you have anything to hide and not because you don't love the other person...but for the sole and simple reason that we all exist outside of a relationship and...your friends really miss you. It's nice to be able to just hang out with your friends and enjoy everyone's company without your partner...for one fuckin' night! Ugh. I can't comment on this any further...but damn, it's annoying.
On a separate, but related, note, I attended a funeral for one of my old martial arts/lion dance instructors on Saturday. And as sad as the occasion was, I have to say that I'm really glad that I attended and grateful that I got a chance to pay my last respects. At the funeral, I saw a bunch of people that I haven't seen in, literally, years and it was really nice. It was a total blast from my past and a reminder of an old chapter in my life from way back when.
I used to perform Chinese lion dancing years and years ago and some of my best memories growing up are with my old friends from my lion dance group. We had lion dance practice every Friday night, performed at various events on the weekends and hung out together a lot during Chinese New Year time (the busiest season of all). However, as we all got older and went our separate ways for college...well, we all kinda lost touch as we went about our lives. But I guess it takes times like these to bring people back together and provide us with the opportunity to reconnect. It was nice to see everyone...although, let me just say, seeing some of the younger kids from the group all grown up now is a little...unsettling. Haha.
But ok, all in all, I had a great weekend reconnecting with friends. :-)
