I promised my friend I would "advertise" this on my blog so all my 7 readers will see it. My friend has created a few bumper stickers that say "Gay Pride" in Chinese (both traditional and simplified). They look very cool! Check them out. If you are interested, please buy one for yourself and many more for your friends! Oh, if you do buy them, please add a comment on this post so I know (but of course you don't have to). Show off your gay pride (in Chinese)!
How was everyone's Valentine's Day? I had a great one with Pomona Boy. Last Friday I went over to his place, bringing the "presents" I had bought in the past few weeks, including a teddy bear, various brands and flavors of chocolate, a photo frame with one of the very few pictures I have of us together, a gay sex coupon book (LOL), and homemade chocolate-dipped strawberries and bananas! It took me hours to research, buy the ingredients and actually make them. In return, I received an elegant homemade card with a Chinese poem written on it. He probably spent hours doing it. It was very sweet and I was very touched. :-)
On Valentine's Day, we headed over to Universal Studios. Earlier in the week, we thought it's going to rain, but it turned out to be a great day for visiting a theme park. It was a bit chilly in the morning, but the sun did eventually come out. The weather was very comfortable. We went on the Jurassic Park and the Mummy rides multiple times because the wait was very short. We even went on the studio tour twice (it's probably 40 minutes each) to see Wisteria Lane twice. Pomona Boy is a big fan of Desperate Housewives. Last time I was there, it was during the week and they closed the set for filming. But since we went on Saturday this time, we were lucky to see Wisteria Lane. Pomona Boy was extremely excited and jumping for joy! That made me happy.
That night, Universal City Walk was packed with straight couples. All restaurants had a long wait, and we finally found a Chinese restaurant with seats in the bar that were available immediately. The service was horrible, probably because they were very busy. This was not the Valentine's Day dinner I envisioned, but it was okay. The food was good, and Pomona Boy didn't seem to mind the service. He kept reaching over and touching my thigh when I complained about it. Eventually I just complained more so he would touch me. Ha ha. I have to take him out again sometime soon to make up for it though.
Did I mention we are going to Vegas in a month? Yup, we are. I found a good deal on hotel, but we are looking for some bargains for Cirque du Soleil shows if you know of any. Generous donations are welcome as well. LOL j/k!
I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day! Have a great week!
How ironic. I titled this post "It's Official" and found out that I already had one - it was about The Ex breaking up with me. However, despite the lack of creativity in coming up with titles, I do have good news to tell in this one. You might have guessed it from the title... It's official between Pomona Boy and I. Yay!
Pomona Boy flew back from Seattle last Sunday, and I went to pick him up (with a bundle of lillies, of course) and gave him a ride to his school. He brought me a bag of oatmeal raisin raspberry raisin chocolate chip cookies that he made while in Seattle. He was telling me about making them, and I told him that I had never had oatmeal cookies before (he thought I was joking), so he thought the first ones I have should be made by him. How sweet!
That night, we were laying in bed in spooning position. He called my Chinese name, and asked me, in Chinese, to be his boyfriend. I got up and looked at him in his eyes, and said YES! And then, everything that happened is at least rated R, so I will spare you with the details.
So yup, we are official, and we both changed our relationship status on Facebook, too! Ha ha. I sincerely hope that it will work out between us. Please give us your wishes. :-)
I am sorry. My blog is the worst blog in the universe. As you might know, I was in the state of Washington to see Pomona Boy last weekend through this past Wednesday. I had a good time. Life, or work rather, was busy for me since I came back, so I haven't had time to update this worst blog in the world. Anyway, when I was in Seattle, Pomona Boy took me to Capital Hill (supposedly their gay district, although it looked nothing like WeHo), Olympic Sculpture Park, Pike Place Market (and the disgusting gum wall), University of Washington, and of course, the Space Needle that's secretly an UFO at the top. Oh, and I visited Bruce Lee's grave. I heard it's a little known fact that Bruce Lee was buried in Seattle, so we went to the sematary and paid our respect. It was creepily romantic! The weather was very nice. It did not snow on me and only sprinkled on me a little bit. Temperature was very comfortable, comparable to a cold day in California. It makes me want to move there.
I like Pomona Boy's sister. She gave up her queen-size bed for us to sleep in and slept over at her friend's place during the nights I was there. She's comfortable with me around. In fact, the first time I saw her, she was only wearing a robe sitting in the living room, and the second time I saw her, she scratched her butt in front of me. LOL.
One night, I had dinner at his home with his family. Of course, Pomona Boy and his sister were teasing each other and fighting. Finally their mom demanded him to say something nice about his sister. He turned around and told her that he liked her eye shadow. She sighed and responded, "I don't have any eye shadow on! You are the worst gay brother ever!" That really cracked me up!
When my plane was about to take off at Seattle, I texted him and thanked him for being a good tour guide. I also said those 3 scary words: "I love you." I know... I debated whether I should say it. There were several occasions that I wanted to say it to him in person while I was there, but I did not want to make it awkward. He responded ":-p", and that's it. The next day, I was at work, chatting with him. He asked if I meant what I said. I said yes. He said that he liked me a lot, but he's not ready to say it back. This disappointed me a little bit. I don't understand why. I've always thought that we've moved past the "dating" stage now, but apparently he still thinks we are just dating. Oh well, I can't force him to feel things he doesn't feel, but at least I will know that when he does say it back (hopefully), he really means it.
