06/09/2002 Entry: "Tote bags, family, and friends."
This is great. I bought a tote bag at Job Lot last month and it fits anything and everything. The bag is huge, the biggest size tote bag I've seen anywhere. 21" by 16". It's perfect for the beach if I ever went but fits all my stuff for a weekend away from home. I'm not a purse afficionado, but if you love to have many purses in your possession, a tote bag is a must. Oh, and don't get me started on my purse collection. I'm taking after my mom on the situation and filled my closet with bags of different sizes, shapes, and eras.
My cousin Joy is graduating from high school tomorrow and I'm so happy for her. She's going to college in Boston near home and I'm not sure if she'll be living on campus or not but I've reassured her that college will be a great experience. I kinda feel bad for her, though, because she's still so very naive within her surroundings especially living in a big city. I'm not blaming anybody, but her parents haven't yet given her any trust that she'll take responsibility with her own life. She's not a bad kid or anything. More of an angel if you ask me. Her parents have not given her permission to go to any graduation parties unless they're acquainted with her friends parents. She does everything they demand of her, lives up to all their expectations in school, perfect. My parents used to be as protective with me as Joy's parents are with her. We're both sensitive people, but now understanding that my parents love me, want the best for me, and want to keep me safe from harm, after giving me some trust and knowing that I can make the right decisions in my life I have more of a freedom to do what I want. Oy, it's not my problem nor my business. That's how asian families are. Eventually she'll get to experience life at its fullest when and how she wants to and her parents will understand.
My friend Pam turned 19 today. Amy's turning 19 tomorrow. It completely slipped my mind up until today so I've sent both of them e-cards in the meantime while I get their gifts shipped off on Monday. They'll understand because I love 'em very much. To those just going to college, you don't need to join a sorority to meet your best friends like they all say. Psshaw.
I've made plans with a friend to go see About a Boy next week. Have any say about the movie? Me being the person to mostly see comedies in the theater, should I expect to cry at any point in the movie?
