dear mom and dad,
oh im happy to hear that my blouses are on the way! it's HOT here!!! man, im so glad i cut my hair.

i ordered some new step workout videos from amazon and they arrived this week. for some reason, the dvds could ship to korea no problem, but the blouses had shipping restrictions. hmm... well anyways, i got new dvds, yeah! i'm going to mix it up, ive had it with this 226-230 nonsense. let's see, we're coming up on july? i think i'll have my weight in the 2-Teen's by winter for sure.

i got to meet up w/tchaiko's daughter and some of her friends this weekend, oh it was so SO wonderful to sit and shoot the shit with the sistas. we went to this restaurant Ali Baba, it's egyptian or middle eastern or something, with big cushy pillows surrounding the table. incredible salad was had. made me realize that im not eating enough vegetables.

all of the women i met up with (there were 5 of us) teach english, one of the sistas teaches a salsa dance class as well, pretty interesting! she also did a couple of workshops here about the history of rap music. i think it's fascinating, especially since all the rap music ive heard here thus far is all, in my opinion, the bottom of the barrel. we talked about, or rather i complained about how much i hate the music in every club ive been to here thus far. i hear no real hip hop; all i hear is stupid laffy taffy, walk it out, in my white tee... well, maybe you can ask brother dave about all these songs on sunday. but i am rethinking "white t" tho; sister annice made a good point about how at least that song in particular celebrates something simple: anybody can get hold of and wear a white t shirt at the discount store for like a dollar. she's right. i'd rather that than stupid air force one's. uhm, you can ask dave about that too. well anyway... i look very VERY forward to my strange fruit project cds as well!!! :)

ah, remember my friend felix? the one who cleaned my apartment? he asked that i send you his greetings. for some reason felix really is fascinated with the military and asked that i, and i quote, "tell your father that i think he is a very brave man, b/c he is a soldier.' yeah whatever, i know pops only joined the navy to avoid being drafted by the army... (ha!)~daughter
