bird day

So on Saturday we went to Vyvy’s house for her birthday. But of course, TD bought presents last minute. Vyvy had a list of what she wanted and TD and Tamil would be splitting it up. We went to Target and instantly found a pink bandana. We found some nail polish, and these flavored marshmallows.  There were these body lotions that were pink (Vyvy’s favoriter color was pink so everything was themed around pink) but they were too expensive. We found a carton that was pink so we put all the stuff inside. While we were in line for check-out TD saw that one really nice brand of gum, I think it’s called Gourmet Gum, so we tossed it in the bin. Then TD remembered that Vyvy also wanted chapstick so TQ and I dashed back into an aisle and debated whether to get the pink chapstick with a blue package or a purple one with a pink package. The second choice would’ve fit the aesthetic more but we decided that if the real thing was pink it was enough. We walked back home and TD arranged the presents in the carton for the care package look. The carton had come with two so TQ and I took the second one for ourselves. TD put the present in a matching bag and put some pink tissue paper in. As if on cue, Vyvy’s mom arrived to pick us up. We stopped by Chick-Fil-A and a boba place called Chill’d. We got to the house and just hung around for about an hour. Then we went to the neighborhood with a really nice park. We took some pictures and left. When we got back I melted some chocolate and Vyvy’s mom cut up some strawberries. Everyone had Korean Barbecue but I had crawfish. The chocolate was finally done melting and instead of putting the chocolate and waiting for it to harden, we just dipped it as it was. It was still as good as it would’ve been if we had let it harden with the chocolate. We had cake and Vyvy led some words of “inspiration” and then out of nowhere Cô Uyên pulled out her phone and read one of TD’s blog she had written in Viet. Mom had sent the link to Cô Uyên so now she could be reading this right now. TD’s blog was pretty funny since it was in Viet and she was using the only amount of words she could. We had cake and Kally, Vinh and I decided to go upstairs. Vinh was showering so I listened to Kally rant about people she hated and I just gave her some advice that helped her, I think, that’s what she said. But it was really fun that night. And Vinh ordered something for Vyvy and(don’t tell her) he’s getting a white bucket hat for her. I want a black bucket hat. Like Nhi’s. I swear I have my own opinions. But yeah that’s it.
