We won our game this morning 4 to 3. They managed to score with 0.1 seconds left with a 6-3 PP. I think at that point Xavier was not too concerned with the final shot as we were going to win. He made a lot of clutch saves during the game and surprisingly he let…
We had two games today with both of them elimination and we are probably the best 8th ranked team in the tournament. Since you only play 2 games, you get seeded based on how you do, most of the teams had a win and a loss, while we had two ties, which would rank us…
Growing up my parents were hard on us. Grade 2 was very traumatic for me. While we were living in the apartment, my father was teaching me algebra where I had to solve for both x and y. I remember yelling and arguing with my father that you could not solve for x and y…
I had slept fairly well last night and today was a nice slow day. We went to see the nuns and we ate a bunch of times, but it is hard to know how well I ate because we were out an about for most of the day and returned to the hotel around 9:00pm….

They had some shelter, but the conditions were not great. It is difficult to think that you escape from Vietnam, survive…
We had the family photoshoot today and then a lunch for my mother in law. Luckily we had help with a lot of it and i had prepped a lot last night. Xavier last nght helped out a lot with the prep work and he cooked all of the chicken today and helped out with…
Not taking the steroids has quite the impact. Today I was rather tired but right now I am not doing too bad. I managed to do some prep work for our lunch tomorrow and I will do some more prep work with the help of Xavier once Mel has cleaned up the kitchen slightly. It…
To escape Vietnam, you had to bribe and pay people to take you on a boat, and the boats were jam packed with people. When my parents decided to leave, they left with not only us, but 3 of my aunts and my grandmother on my mom’s side as well as my two cousins. They…
