Too much shit has happened since the last post.  Yeah it's been awhile cuz I basically sleep, work, eat, and hang out with Tiff and the kids (Fifi & Bryan).  I got my new cell phone face plate, radiation blocker, and antenna booster.  So my cell phone is pretty pimped out.  I only needed a face plate since it got fucked up from dropping it so many times.  It wouldn't even snap together anymore.  I ordered a new face plate to fix it, but the other things were like $1 each, so I bought a whole set for my mom and sister as well.  I'll get a picture of my cell phone later.  I had one, but I accidentally deleted it.

Bong graduated from his Technical College on 08/12/04.  I didn't get to go to the ceremony itself cuz my mom didn't know we could have snuck in without tickets.  I saw Rowena at the graduation cuz her dad was graduating too.  Bong's friend Rex kept asking me if I could hook him up with her all night.  I thought it was hella funny.  We took a few pictures, but not as many as I'd hope for.  We got some dinner at Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant.  The food was damn good.  Can't ever go wrong with Chinese food if you go there.

I took some other pictures with the camera after the graduation.  Tiff and I went trigger happy on the camera.

After that I went camping the day after.  We left at 1:00pm cuz my mom got home from work late.  I only slept 3 hours, so I passed out on the car ride there.  We set up the tents and stuff with only Cau Hoang, Di Tina, Corey, Tyler, Kyle, Ong Ngoi, Ba Ngoi, Jen, and mom.  We killed some time by going to the lake to let Ginger(the dog) swim.  Cau Hoang, Tyler, Di Tina, and Jen also got in cuz it was super warm out.  Corey and I didn't get in cuz I was in my pajamas and Corey had his cast on.

When we got back Di Nga, Uncle Scot, Brandon, Amanda, Di Anh, and Khanh arrived.  We started a fire and some smores.  There were no showers, so we had to rinse off using a faucet in the middle of camp.  I slept in Cau Hoang's bigass tent made for 2 families.  Freakin' Tyler and Corey sleep all weird and shit.  Tyler kept turning sideways and laying on my stomach.  Corey just repeatedly kept elbowing me in the face.  I also had a constant urge to pee about 5 or 6 times during the night, so I kept waking up.  Other than that, the nap was good.

We woke up the next morning and went hiking early.  We hiked a good mile before having to turn back cuz the trail started getting intense for the kids, so we headed back.  We had our "Vietnamese lunch" before going swimming.  I went swimming in my see-thru boxers.  Brandon ended up losing a sandle under-water cuz it was hella muddy.  Everyone spent a good hour bobbing for the sandle but turned out with no luck.  We had to make him a sandle (out of paper and plastic) to walk back.  When we got back to camp, we started a fire to relax.  That's when Ginger went crazy.  She had sores on her legs (as the vet said) from over-working her legs swimming and hiking with us.  She's an in-door dog, so it was more than she typically could handle.  So because of that, she went crazy and bit Di Tina hella bad.  She had a deep puncture wound.  We had to break camp and rush her to the hospital.

We took care of the 3 boys (Corey, Tyler, and Kyle) cuz Di Tina had to be rushed to the hospital.  I didn't want to say 2 nights anyway.  2 nights is too long for that place with no shower.

Ginger before she went crazy.

Start of our hiking trip.

The bridge to the trail.

Family stopping to take a picture on a tree stump.

Family stopping again to take another picture.

Of course I can't have a trip without asking some randomass people to take pictures with us, and they agreed to.

Grandpa trying to be sneaky and taking a shot, but I got him first.

True "Vietnamese" camping.

Brandon and his missing sandle, so we made him one.

Snapped a picture of Amanda hiding in the chair compartment.
