[General]
I had a great time meeting 2 of my college friends over this weekend in Las Vegas. Three of us are in our mid thirties. We met and became friends in our early 20s which was the 3rd yr in college. We hang out together at the student union to study and gossip. We stayed up all night to study for mid terms. We hang out at the Pub on Friday after school. I'm the only one who was married at the time, the other two was single. So, they had fun with boys and I just admired them. After graduation, the other 2 got married and we all moved apart. We hardly got connected in daily basic. But every 5 yrs or so, we have a little reunion, just 3 of us and no familly. I remember our college days, we got hit by a lot of guys at the restaurants or at the pub and bar. We usually gave those guys our school registration phone #s b/c that the only phone we remember so well. There was no cell phone back then and home phone was a NO NO. So, the very first reunion that we had was 6 yrs ago in San Francisco which hosted by one of the girl who's oldes in 3 of us. We had a lot of fun when we all hang out together. We teased guys, talked about life in general and our relationships but never complained about our looks and health. But just this weekend, this was our 2nd reunion which was hosted by me in Las Vegas. We are now in our mid thirties, and oh boys, the youngest one just complained that her back was in pain, her legs are fat and her tummy had extra skin due to having kids...etc. I on the other hand, avoid those tunes in my ears, but she keeps complain about her physical looks too much and I start to believe it! I thought thanks god that we all still look the same like 11yrs ago but it proved to me that I was wrong! because we didn't get hit by guys any more. Guys just stared at us! I wonder what they're thinking:). We're all Asian women and married to our men. But I think we all attract to caucasian men...but for some reason, we didn't have opportunity to know one. We always teased among ourselfs when we see Asian chicks hands on w/ a wht man. We asked each other, what did we do wrong??? Well, I didn't think much about what type of man that I attract to when I was young. But I've heard a lot from the other 2 friends' interest. We have concluded this trip that white man are good to look at and NOT for us. We just comfort ourselves in that way! I guess:). In any way, we are not racist! we are just too comfortable with our cultures and not tempt to explore in other cultures....we like to do things that we know best in a way....We have not slept since Friday nite and Sat. nite, untill we get home sunday. I can't wait till the next reunion, by then we all will be in our early 40s. Hopefully, by that time, we are just happy with the idea that we're alive and kicking.
