Meet The Parents

Time: 11:26pm
Mood: Tired
Song of the moment: Sum41 - Pieces

I wasn't supposed to go home this weekend, but because of the recent engagement, I decided to go home. Ok it wasn't entirely because of the engagement (although I did want to show my parents the ring!). Jimmy's birthday was last Tuesday, and even though I already celebrated his birthday with him, I thought it would be nice to celebrate with friends.

Friday night I went to see Constantine. I was a bit hesitant at first because it looked kinda freaky and I'm not too fond of scary movies. There were parts where I was a little freaked but overall it was a really good movie! And of course.. Keanu Reeves was a plus (just kiddin!!). Saturday night, a bunch of us (Jimmy, Flo, Kin, Jenn, Joyce, Mich, Cat and I) went out for some Korean BBQ to celebrate Jimmy's 26th. I broke the news to Jenn, Joyce, Mich and Cat :D It was hilarous because I wasn't sure how I should break the news to them.. Flo suggested that I talk with my hands so they'll see my ring, but I tried doing that and I kept moving the wrong hand! haha! After some good grub some of us headed to Mich's place for some poker action.

Today I headed over to Pacific Mall to get my ring resized. Oh man I hate that place! This is why I try to stay away from there unless there's a definite reason to go. My main problem there besides the large mass of chinese people is finding parking at the stupid mall. It's close to impossible! I thought it would be better because Jimmy was driving, but I still got really mad. I had to get out of the car. Once in the mall, I began to look for the jewlery store where he bought my ring. I finally found it, but I decided to wait for him because I thought they would probably recognize him. I stood outside the store for 5 minutes and I finally decided to go in, hoping they would recognize Jimmy's name at least. So I walked in, approached the two ladies working there and told them I was here to get my ring resized, and that my fiance (ahh I still have to get used to calling him that) had bought the ring from there. Then they said "Oh... it was Jimmy right?" haha! While I was seeing what size my finger was, the lady working there kept saying "Oh he's a good man.. he's a good man" hahah! So now I'm getting my ring resized.. I won't have it until Friday.. I feel naked w/o my ring.. :S

So the big thing for this weekend was, Jimmy's parents and my parents met for the first time. Ok not really for the first time.. his mom has met both my parents, but they spoke briefly (Jimmy's mom met my dad when he was picking my sister up from his house after getting her hair dyed some funky colour.. his mom is a hairdresser, and she met my mom when I was picking Jimmy up for something... she thought my mom was one of my friends! hahah). I was a little nervous.. mainly afraid of any awkward silences that might occur. Those are the worst!

Jimmy and I arrived there late, which is very bad because our parents don't know each other well. The thing is, before we left for the restaurant Jimmy and I agreed to pay for the dinner, so we needed to stop by the bank to get some $$. Eeks! But it was ok.. they found each other fine (and we were the only ones at the restaurant at the time.. haha). The evening went really really well! I had no idea Jimmy's dad was so talkative and funny! haha! So a big sigh of relief :D
