5 more days.

The trip down to L.A. already started stressful. Yubo had to work the entire night he was supposed to help me pack. He didn't tell me to pack tax stuff so he'll have to file an extension. He didn't prearrange a ride so he didn't leave the shop until 5:30p, arriving at the airport around 6:05p for our 7:05p flight. He owes me $4 because I had to get a cart to carry 6 bags by myself.

The flight was delayed about 15 minutes. The entertainment thing was down for the first hour of the flight, but Virgin America credited all the passengers $10 for their next flight. ^_^

Got our bags and Yubo's parents picked us up. Had In-n-Out, and I spent Wednesday night at their place.

Thursday
I had my first fitting with Sylvia for my dress. I was freaking out a little bit because it wasn't entirely what I pictured, and it looks homemade and costume-y. Yes, I know it's homemade, but I figure it didn't have to look it. That was going to be the final fitting, but I'm trying to arrange another fitting.

We practiced the dance. Ate somewhere in there. Met with my coordinator. Spent Thursday here at home.

Friday
Hair and makeup trial for San. The makeup was ok. Just had to ask for some adjustments. Hair was decent. I guess it was just to give me an idea instead of what was really going to happen. Down and curled.

Saturday
Spent this day with my mom. Found out I don't fit my engagement dress anymore (gah...) so we went to a dress rental place to find me something to wear in the morning. Ended up renting two dresses, because we couldn't decide, and my mom got herself a dress as well.

Got yummy Vietnamese sandwiches from Mr.Baguette. I think I will order these sandwiches for the wedding party to munch on throughout the wedding day.

Sunday
Easter! Happy rebirth day to Yubo and me. Two years ago we got baptized on Easter. ^_^

Yubo got to help out the worship team. It was fun for his parents to see both sons up there singing.

It was such a busy morning, and I got introduced to a bunch of people that I forgot the instant I got introduced to someone else. For some reason, Mr.Crumly kept introducing me to members of the young girls' basketball team that Ei-chan coaches. I didn't understand why I needed to meet them. They didn't seem to care for me either. Actually, they were tons more interested in comparing Yubo to Ei-chan.

We had a lot to do this day, but the entire day lagged. We didn't leave the church until much later than I wanted. Ran off to eat lunch. Had to visit Yubo's grandma (which I didn't mind, although he should have visited her before hanging out with friends). Ended up also visiting an aunt and uncle.

Finally managed to get to another thing we actually had scheduled for the day: getting a suit for Yubo to wear in the morning. Went to 3 Day Suit Broker to see a suit he had on hold. I didn't like it, so we had to find him another one. Ugh.

After that, everyone was tired and getting grumpy, so they decided to go home to rest. Turned into an hour+ nap. I didn't know what to do with myself, so when Ei-chan left to Disneyland, I spent all that time in his room with the cat. Not a horrible thing, but we still had to rehearse the dance, which was kinda the number one thing we were supposed to do that day. So it's easy to say I was quite frustrated. At 7:30p (which was an hour of me just hanging out with the cat), I decided that it was either we get up and rehearse, or I go home.

Everyone woke up, but we didn't leave the house until something like 8:45p (I should've seen that coming). Went to dinner, AND THEN we went to the studio. Yubo was so tired that we decided to just walk through everything. He wasn't really focused and we both kept forgetting things. RAWR.

Mr.Crumly pointed out that we better start rehearsing full out (which was what I intended to happen this day). So now I'm waiting for Yubo to come pick me up so we can get to the studio to really rehearse (but he's already running about 40 minutes late). Gah!!

And everyone in the world is telling me, "If something goes wrong, don't worry about it. No one will notice anyway." I'll admit it's getting a little annoying.

Whatever. I'm also just stressed out by being here at home. I want out of this house soon.
