in the past two days, i've had some pretty random encounters. yesterday night, art and i went to shilla buffet (on vermont and wilshire) 'cuz my mom got a dinner certificate from one of her kids' parents. art and i went together, so we planned on using the certificate and just paying for one person...we walk in, and it's pretty empty, so the first thing i notice is the waiters all looking at us...one in particular looked semi-familiar, but i didn't really think anything of it. later, he comes by, and he recognized us...one of the youth group guys from knhpc back in high school...all growns up! i don't think i've seen him in almost 7 years...crazy. he's now going to college and plans to become an architect...i feel old. anyways, he paid for our dinner, which was really, really nice of him, and we exchanged numbers.

then today was my day off for work and school, so my dad and i went to have lunch with my mom by her school. afterwards, my mom had to go back to school, and my dad and i went to hk market to pick up some things. i was immersed in the list that my mom gave us, when i heard my name...mike was apparently getting some kimbop for lunch and was running by...random. he was in a rush, so i just introduced him to my dad and he ran off.

then, just now i was working on my brother's computer doing some homework, when someone imed, thinking it was art...justin hwang, who i haven't seen in ages. he's down here now working, but i dunno if art's hung out with him yet. anyways, i just explained and we left off pretty much just saying that we'd probably run into each other sometime soon...

one of these days, i'm gonna pretend that i'm art...though i know art's im style is really different from mine. it'd probably be very obvious.
