Irreplaceable,

This weekend was really nice as always. Lots of sleep, drink, and excesses. Since I was in Hawaii in the last weekend, this weekend was the first one in this month for me to spend in my town, so I set my monthly goal that I do every first weekend to re-see my life plan. Yes, that was I think the third time to visit Hawaii in this year. There is my host brother living in the main land of Hawaii, and I always visit his and his girl friend's apartment when I go to Hawaii. This time, I was there for their wedding party. He and I met when I was home-staying at his parents' house in Irvine, 2008. Although he visited his family in Irvine from San Diego only in weekend at that time, he is the one who taught me different "how to"s in American way. Since then, we have been just like brothers.

So this time, I was really happy to see my brother got married, and I was also happy that I now have a family in this country to cerebrate the new chapter. Because I came to this country to acquire American dream, just hanging out with people is not what I want to do. Unless there is a positive relationship in between, I am not going to spend my time with anyone, but he and his family are a kind of exception. Just chatting, eating, drinking, watching sports, talking about family and stupid things make me really relax, and I feel those people are where I go back.  

I am ready to commit anythings for my dream, but on my plane going back to LA from Hawaii, I was thinking that sustaining this kind of sweet relationship might be my goal too. Success and achievement are very important, but family and friends are irreplaceable. Thank you for my luck to have such nice people.

Go for it!! Chuji,
