Mom's Arrival

It was pouring outside when I went to the airport to pick up my mom. Then I had to wait for almost 2 hours for her to finally get out of customs and immigrations. Finally we got out of the lobby, got in the elevator and this stupid guy did not fuckin hold the elevator door for me so my jacket was caught in between when it closed while I was trying to pull my mom's cart of the elevator. I was so pissed! We had to go back up all the way to the 8th floor all the way down again to the ground floor where I was parked.

Anyway, we got home, unpacked and she started calling friends. I started unpacking all the "pasalubong." And why in the world would my friends from the Philippines send me all my favorite sweets? Yes, it was very nice and sweet gesture. But I am on a DIET! I can't eat any of it. But I have to confess, I'm almost down to my last Quickmelt Ensaymada.

I didn't get a chance to show my mom around just yet because it was pretty late when we got home but we'll probably do something tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Oh but we went to a Korean Restaurant and it made me mad that they allow people to smoke in there! I was furious. So I had to tell the guy that it has to stop because it is the law. People cannot smoke in there! He was apologetic but I told him that his spology means nothing. They have to abide by the law.

First thing tomorrow I am calling the County Public Health Department Tobacco Control Division and report a violation.
