Reunited and it feels so good!

I love my twin sisters!
(Hehee, you can see my baby bump is growing!)
Justin was sweet enough to bring Nina (Picture Above: LEFT) back home for a few days! :) They originally came here to attend the Atmosphere concert and for him to finally meet our side of the family. Man, I miss them so much already! I was originally suppose to have the first three days they were here OFF from work, but long story, it didn't go as planned. I had to work their whole visit. I'm annoyed and disappointed I didn't get to spend as much time with them as I'd hoped. Whatever. I'm the happiest when ALL the Woo sisters are reunited! It doesn't happen often. Nina lives in California, she recently moved to Oakland from San Fransisco.

Yeah, OAKLAND. I constantly worry about her. I tell her to call me ANYTIME she is walking somewhere late at night and tell me every time she turns onto a new street. I don't care what time it is. Last time I talked to her from 12am to 2am. I was dead tired the next day, but it was worth knowing she's safe. She tells me it's not TOO bad living there.. BUT her little studio apartment is invested with ants!! Us Woo girls grew up with ants crawling all up in our home, so it's definitely something that we CANNNOOOTT stand! She told her landlord and what did he do? He handed her some bug spray.. Like really? That's it?

Ugh! I've never heard ANYONE say anything GOOD about Oakland! In fact, I read an article a month ago where there was a drive by shooting and two men were injured and a 2 yr. old in a stroller was hit and died. It happened in broad daylight! So sad.. I told her this and she told me two "funny" mugging stories she heard from her friend about her ex boyfriends' that used to live in Oakland.
  1. Friend's Ex-BF #1-- BF has his music ear buds in WITHOUT any sound on and is walking down the street texting on his phone. BF hears footsteps behind him and hears two guys behind him, "Hey man (talking to his buddy), this dude is listening to his music. I'm about to jack his iPhone." BF turns around and says, "Actually, it's a Blackberry." The two little muggers realize they are caught and the BF is bigger than them, so they run off. 
  2. Friend's Ex-BF #2-- BF walks to the BART and mugger pulls a knife out on him and tells him to give him his stuff. BF says no and pulls out HIS OWN KNIFE! Mugger says, "Oh, shit!" and runs off. 
HAHAHA! Okay, I'll admit, I laughed pretty hard when I heard these stories. But I still WORRY! I would worry just a little less if she started carrying around some mace, a knife, and a black spray painted gun! Ugh, even just the other day, she was walking late at night and some assholes in a car were yelling out some racists things, "Ching, chong, ling, ling!" or something like that. She flipped them off, but I told her next time to just ignore it, what if they get mad and get out and chase her?

I guess she started carrying around a small knife and didn't realize it was in her purse when she went through security check at the airport. LOOOL! That must have been SOOO awkward! The security dude was cool about it though, I believe he felt sorry for her and asked if there was anyone she could hand it off to or else they would have to throw it away. :/ She tossed it.
Neenerz (Nina)-- Twin #2 (Born a few seconds after Mindy) I'm so happy she came home for a visit! She smuggled $60 worth of dimsum for us! LOL, we make her do that all the time. She even smuggles kimchee back to Cali sometimes too! I did that for her once when me and hubs were visiting her, luckily it did not explode. I finally got to take her to the Daiso here so she can grab a few things to decorate her new place. :) Awww, I really miss her.
Shrek (Mindy)-- Twin #1 (Born a few seconds before Nina) This sister lives here, only 15 minutes away from me. I still don't see her ALL the time because her hectic work schedule, but we like to spend time together on our days off. It's funny how different and similar we are at the same time! :) I love how we are. We're weird, but we totally get each other. Our styles are definitely different though. We all have our moments, but overall, we love each other to death. I don't know what I'd do without these weirdos! <3
Justin, Nina, Babe, and I all went to the Atmosphere concert. It was on the same day they flew in. So much food and driving and sisterly drama happened that day. Nina and I knocked out when we finally got home around 6pm (They flew in around 10:30am). Babe and I weren't able to purchase the tickets online. The site wouldn't let us and another site was charging $80 for two (It was suppose to be $60 for two). I didn't want to pay that amount to see someone I didn't even listen to..

We get to the Showbox SODO around 9:30pm (show was suppose to start at 8pm). Parking wasn't too hard to find, but Justin payed $8 for it. Luckily we found a scalper that sold us two tickets for $50 (at the door it was $36 each). SCORE! We got a deal! We got in and I guess the opening bands were still performing. Around 10pm or so, Atmosphere finally hit the stage. HAHA, the bar cleared out SOOO fast! It was crowded! I've never seen such a diverse crowd before! You had your hip hoppers, computer nerds, hippies with long dreads, and etc.! This guy appeals to ALL types of groups! And not just that, but this crowd was SOOOOOOO into it! They were grinding with each other, fist pumping, waving their hands, lighters were lit, body rolling, etc., etc.. It was crazy, but it was a great show. I was feeling hot and dizzy so I went outside and decided to have an infamous Seattle cream cheese hot dog! YUMMM.. After the show, we went to Chinatown for a late night din din. :) I'm bummed we didn't get to take more pictures..
The day before their departure. we all went to Snoqualmie Casino buffet. I made it right before they closed.. They close at 9pm, they seated us at 8:50pm, but told us to hurry and get our food because they start putting everything away at 9:15pm. Ugh, I hate feeling rushed at a BUFFET! ): Oh well, we got in a good meal anyways. We hit up the slots after and eventually all came up. I came up $50! I used to have a small gambling problem, but now know when to walk away. Little sisters got excited with their winnings and wanted to keep playing. I had to force them to stop! Hahaha.. Koreans + Gambling = NO GOOD!

US right before leaving the casino! Ugh, why, oh, why do they always have to do such silly poses in pictures??? I was pretty upset when I saw this! Darn you, guys! This is their "statue" pose. More like retardos to me! Hmph!
With Justin, the dude that kind of made this trip possible!
:) Thanks for bringing my little sister home!!

Overall, I had an fun reunion with my sisters! They keep me grounded and I'm thankful I didn't have to grow up an only child. I always had someone to play with! We had our years of keeping to ourselves during our teenage years, but as you get older, you realize just how important family is. I am blessed and I'll never take that for granted. 

On a side note, I want to give a short and sweet thank you shout out to my baby, Matt! He has been SOOO damn wonderful this past week. He took a week off of work and has been a GREATTTT host! Seriously, he has been nothing short of amazing. I am so lucky to be his girl. <3 SOOOO LUCKY!
