Okay, there it is… this is the ring I got for Adolfo and gave it to him on Saturday. I have been sitting on it for a little while and finally decided to spring it on him. Adolfo seemed genuinely thrilled to have received it and has show it to some of his family and […]

I’m home. Adolfo had a lovely dinner waiting for me when I got in and we ate… went to bad… and then… he he he! RIGHT ON BABY! The trip home was painfully awful! In Denpasar (Bali, Indonesia) we were searched with a fairly normal routine. Changing planes in Taipei (Taiwan) we were searched again […]

As I write this it is Sunday 8:40 pm in Taiwan! I am very tired because in reality it is something like evening in California right now. I finished my book by Steven Saylor on the way here from Bali. It has an exciting ending and it was way cool. I asked my travel “buddy” […]

Almost middle day on Day3 here in Bali. There was another little earthquake last night, but it was hardly noiceable. I slept well though. The room I have is absolutely lovely. In fact, you can see it on their website at www.thebale.com and we have the same view. The sunrise over the Indian Ociean is […]

It is 4:30 am in Bali, Indonesia right now and I am hre checking e-mail. I was so tired I fell asleep last night (local time) at 8pm. Sad, huh??? At 3am this morning we woke up during a neat earthquake! The whole place was shaking. No one else seemed to notice and I thought […]

Finals were over on the 19th and I am only just writing out here in the mighty journal. Since then, I have been doing a lot while enjoying my time out of school. Adolfo and I went to visit family on the weekend having left the 20th and went to my mom’s and then off […]

I am still studying. I did really shitty on a quiz last week and the Chef gave me a chance to make it up and bring my grade up to a passing. I almost f’d that up for sure. It was a quiz on potatoes and rice and stuff… ie starchy foods. Ugh! I can […]

Studying and other things! Between working at Sur La Table, school, and other things I have very little time. Oh, I have such a list of priorities, but you know what I miss a lot??? I miss freinds. I miss hanging out with old buddy Ed in Long beach and I miss Maureen n Boston. […]

Oi Vay… this was a weekend. I went to go get Adolfo on Friday after work and found him sick. He was burning up and stumbling around the retail store he works at. I swear he could have passed out. I took him to Denny’s on the way to my house to get him some […]

I tend to neglect this diary more than I should. Sorry about that. Sorry goes to me more than anything because when I write things here it makes me feel better and I get to vent. Adolfo and I are doing okay still. I am happy to report… but he tends to get depressed gets […]
