November 24th
I was expecting a crazyass Thanksgiving dinner with the family that day, but everyone went to their other side of the family. I was a bit disappointed, but I caught up on some sleep. We also watched a couple movies and hung out. The only ones that were there were Ong & Ba, Cau Dung, and Cau Huy's family. I also got a haircut before passing out. It's pretty short, so I won't need to lop off the fro so soon. For some reason my mom always leaves a specific area of my head with extra hair. It looks goofy and I don't think she realizes that she does it.
We left at around 10:00pm. I headed home to nab the Discover card for the After-Thanksgiving Sale. I get a 2% return on my total purchase for the month, so it's my primary payment method. The After-Thanksgiving Sale is an annual thing I do every year. I leave really early and camp out or wait in line for the doors to open. It's the best sale of the entire year. Last year I met a bunch of the cousins at the stores. I planned on going by myself to Best Buy last year and ended up seeing Minh, Duy, Hoang, Long, and Nga. This year was pretty sweet. We tag-teamed almost every electronic store that had good stuff.

Minh, Duy, and I pulled an all-nighter playing video games and mapping out the stores and planning what we were getting. I picked up Lam and we stood outside Fry's. We ended up being the first 100-150 people in line. Tiff and her crew were the first 5 people in line and Minh and Duy were the first 200 in line. Fry's opened the doors 15 minutes early. Once those babies flew open people were bum rushing the stores. The people with carts were stupid. Lam and I ran our ass in. We hurdled the carts and shit and nabbed all the good stuff. Lam was a big help. We double-teamed by splitting up and meeting back at the middle.
I got everything on the list except the free microwave oven. A friend, whom is an employee, told me they disappeared in the first 2 minutes. I'm still satisified with everything I got. I even picked up my mom's Christmas present. I got her a sweet car deck that she wanted. I spent a good $240 total and saved about $320. Just can't wait until next year. I hope they have sexier stuff.

I heard about a party at Cau Hoang's at the last minute. I was supposed to go to Tiff's grandma's for dinner, but of course no one lets me know jack shit until the very last minute. Hella good food and everything. It got boring after we started watching movies. That's kinda all we can do over there. Was cool while we ate and hung out though. I fell asleep cuz they kept pausing the movie for too long.
