The Fall is Falling

October is a staple of fall, a preview into what November will be.  October was a huge month.  Was it because it was Halloween?

I once again went into my novel-based characters (I should revisit Harry Potter & Peter Pan pictures, and went for Oz's later named king, the Scarecrow.

But no....that wasn't it.

It was because I just go new nephews!!! Yes, nephews, with an S.  My sister super recently had twin boys, Danny & Javier.  Here they are:

Now here they are with their awesome uncle:

While on the date of their birth, I felt quite accomplished because I could instantaneously tell them apart, that skill did not last long. They grew into their not-so-smooched-anymore features post-womb.  Now they are extremely identical and I made the same mistake their parents are now prone too, good thing they still have their hospital anklets.

We are now in the midst of autumn and it feel crisp (previous blog post), hopeful, and near-conclusive.

Many things to do, per usual, enjoy the long weekend.

p.s. My condolences to Julie H., who recently lost her husband, Jim.

Crispy Air

It's the changing of the seasons, and with that, it's time to post.

The Virgo Trifecta
Now that the most amazing time of year, Virgo season is over, I can now reflect on September time.  My birthday, along with Nick and Pat's passed, and like many moons ago, we celebrated our birthdays together.  We had a blast at Fuego and Hotel Maya.  Glad to celebrate our birthdays with our friends.  Birthdays are always a tricky.  Fun and reflection, quite a combination of thought.

My Nephews are Coming
My sister recently celebrated her baby shower.  I'll get to meet my nephews in a few weeks.  Funny how my mother, my sister, and now my niece are surrounded by brothers.  She had a great baby shower alongside family and friends.

From SK to LV
Had another Korea reunion, this time in Vegas.  The Evans clan came to visit from Italy.  It is always great to see this group of friends as went through quite an experience together, we are very like-minded, and enjoy each other's company.  I can't wait for the next ones.

Thoughts
Now that I'm back to the school as a teacher and a student, I'm figuring out that rhythm (again).  I'm back to the back forth, back forth, and back again.  Speaking of which, sometimes, some things don't change.  I reflected a while ago how small the world is, and the world keeps putting that in my face.  It's mostly positive, but sometimes it isn't.  I like to think God has a sense of humor and you get put in places for a reason, the world has a logical order.  I like logic.

In the meantime, make sure to thank a teacher:

You're "Special"

As a blogger (though lagging it lately), I respect this post...and understand.

It's Too Small of a World After All

A recent, let's call it coincidence, occurred that made me realize how small the world is. It's pretty hilarious how tied we are without realizing, until something hits you and makes it concrete.  This one started off as a funny Skype sharing about someone and ended up being blasted to the entire Southbay, including Yelp.

Colorado and the people I knew there definitely contributed to this thought process as well.  Also when I think of friends who are in similar career networks and realize how much we know the same people, that also trips me out at times.

The world we live in, it's pretty tiny.
Time to colonize the moon.
