Yup that's right. MEXICAN food. MMMMMmmmm.... i miss mexican food SO much- being california born and mostly raised, mexican food is eaten just about as often as western/ thai/ japanese in my family and good mexican food is SO hard to find in asia!
My mom was in town visiting for the weekend so we organized a game night saturday night at my friends house- AWESOMEST IDEA OF THE MONTH. My mom and i cooked up a storm of tacos, 7 layer dip, and crab + shrimp quesadillas - my mouth is watering just thinking back about the meal....
Anyway we played a few games- "Who am i?" "Scrabble" "Fact or Crap" and overall it was a much needed night in with a few amazing people and some good food.
It's been a laid back weekend, something rare in my life lately... i can't believe i've been living here in singapore for exactly 10 months already... where does the time go?!
which brings me back to this entry which is about to take us all back into time- MY time to be exact... November 2 years ago i wrote something which oddly still resonates strongly in my life now... here it is
"each grain of sand is a memory- mine, yours, and a million other smiles i will never know. each grain brings back to me a song or the sound of a distant voice, words whispered like the waves or said in stern silence when moonlight illuminates faces and eyes as the truth sinks in.... and again i'm crying in the sand like when i was five and my cousin crushed my sandcastle simply because he could.
we never needed reason when we were little but we always asked why... i'm afraid to ask that question now- mostly because i think i already know the answers. a lifetime of sand between sandangels and me now, sitting here pen in hand, toes digging into the sand and the understanding of waves- life rising and falling like heartbeats and hopes pulling in and pushing out but always returning because everywhere is home and every move is in a direction whether right or wrong, we move to retrace footsteps we were never aware we made.
