So after
talking to mom and dad we got home at 02:00 and I immediately drove
home. Sure they were mad because they were worried. Is it just me or do
most parents just not believe that their kids can do anything right?
I've done this before, I was hyped up on caffeine (kept buying
Starbucks Mocha Frapuccinos whenever we stopped), and I really didn't
want to spend any more time with my parents. If I had stayed the night
I'd probably have had to have lunch with them and who knows when I'd
have left for my place. It's the end of vacation and you really want to
get home.
Cesar has been seeing Ping since last September. Apparently they also
met on the Internet and she is also from Beijing, though she was in
Vancouver studying English. The way my parents heard it from T’‡
Juanita, Cesar asked if Ping could move in for a few weeks before she
went back to China. She thought that would be that but Ping returned
and has been living there since (Cesar also lives in the house). T’a
doesn't like it because Ping is not very talkative and so she knows
little about Ping and even less about her family. So it's hard for her
to tell if Ping is worthy of Cesar.

Meanwhile,
Carolina's boyfriend, Mike, is working as a delivery truck driver for
some restaurant supplier. He seems like a nice guy and is at least in
control of his life, even if he's not very successful. I think he wants
to start his own business.
With all three children I can see why T’a Juanita is worried. But our
generation is more of the "love somebody for who they are, not their
net worth or future prospects". It's the kind of stuff that really
worries parents but kids have to live their own lives and make their
own mistakes and just maybe those three are doing the right thing.
Hearing mom and dad talk, I start being afraid to tell them about Ya
Lan.
