good morning after you fall a sleep

it is 2:30 am now. my alarm is set at 3:15 am to leave this place to go to ny and somehow, i am still awake, listening and waiting for the last roll of laundry to be done. i could have just taken my dirty clothes with me and finish washing when i moved there but the smell of cigarette from rtb was so strong that i had to do it.

so yes. sam and i get to have amazing last day dinner at rtb tonight with bunch of our lovely lovely friends... and again, we cried like little kids. of course it wasn't just crying. we ate a lot of foods, lots of talking, drinking, laughing, touching... vanwart gave us this lovely buddy called mr.ttt burger (fat...) as good bye gift/our road trip entertainer and he was already succeeding confusing many people during the dinner with his unnecessary body parts.
but yes. fun time does go fast and since we needed to finish our packing (yay! it's done!)/get some sleep (oh... still in progress...) before our long long drive, it was a hug time... meaning tears time. today, i think i was a crying robot. every time i put my arms around people, i felt so grateful that my tears came out.

i love people. they are warm and it is good thing to know. thank you to all the sweet pips who came out tonight to give us sweetest hug ever. my eyes are super puffy because of you now.

tonight's pipster were:
studio friends: 5 + dakota on the sf phone
sam's boyfriend: more than 10
team hereghty: 4
team wilmont: 3
team (awesome) iphoners: 6
asian: 3 + dakota on the sf phone
fat friends: 1(this is caleb) + graham on the sf phone
mustache: 1
mr.ttt burger: 1


well, seems like my laundry stopped making noise.
i guess it is time.

oh, no worries. road trip will be so fine. we got honda minivan odyssey 2008. don't get jealous.

one more raleigh day

finally it's a blog time for tanaka too.
i don't know why i'm writing a blog in english when my grammar clearly doesn't make sense and end up embarrassing myself inside so many people's mac screen but... whatever. i do like these kind of stuff.

so far, this week has been very busy but lovely.
although i'm not in school anymore, i realized i haven't forgot how to procrastinate and pretend like i'm doing a lot for myself. I woke up around noon today after nice goodbye party at vanwart's apartment last night, which kind of turned into boys screaming at bunch of "Chads" on the street and girls consistently eating and drinking party. it was fun. i know for sure that the very reason i will miss raleigh is those very sweet pips who were there. but yea... i did had some red face by the end of party besides monica so that wasn't best idea for my packing plan for today. oh well...

tonight was a goodbye dinner/thanksgiving party for sam cobra rhodes family. lynette made us the best carrot cake ever. lynette is a lovely mom. she cried when we were leaving, and sam cried, and then i cried. changing is always little sad but you also realize something sweet because of it. i love you lynette, and thank you for overdosing us with those lovely icing on the cake.

now, i am back at my apartment, saw cobra writing his blog, and decided to start my own blog on the day before we leaving raleigh. today is monday, august 25. i still do have whole room to pack and take it to ny with me on tuesday morning around 4:00am. i can't wait to say hello to those deers on the I-95.

tomorrow is the last raleigh hugging day for me. i hope i get to see more pips before i leave.
