i tried posting this yesterday...but blogger was down...

ah today was a good day. even though i have been really tired and at first i really didn't want to go to my friends bday dinner just b/c i was being a lazy ass. so i dragged myself...actually i was rushing b/c i lolligagged until the last possible minute. i had to go get flowers for this one girl and then a picture frame for my friend. and it all turned out great cuz i found the perfect frame and flowers.

so we went to dinner for my friend grace's and this girl elene(pronounced like elaine)'s bday. we went to a chinese/korean restaurant. crazy huh? anyway so it's super cheap and we have super good food. oh but first we went to ikea to get her gift card...and i had some swedish meatballs! haha it was yum. yes i am fat so what!?!? but i had so much fun. it was a bunch of girls like 16 or so..there were like 2 groups...for the 2 girls' bday but we all go to school together. anyway my group of friends is really really big...we have 12 ppl total 11 girls and 1 guy. and you know what? i used to think, that's way too much...but all of them are really cool in their own little way. and we are way diverse which i also think is really cool b/c u see cliques within our class...and they're mostly based on ethnic lines. but we have 4 white ppl, 2 black ppl(2 out of the 2.5 black ppl in our class haha), one korean, 2 filipinos, one asian indian and one vietnamese--does that add up to 12? i think so. but isn't that great? so i love my friends and they're hella cool, sweet and awesome!! shoutouts to the 2nd and 3rd row on the (if you're looking at the lecturer) RIGHT!! woohoo. :)

oh oh and what i thought was REALLY weird was...ok after dinner we were getting the bill togehter which came out to 58.02...so we tipped him like 8 and some change. so one of my friends paid 7 bucks on her discover then gave him 60 in cash. so he comes back and is like...."so you put 7 on card and i'm confused this is 60 but bill is 58" and i just told him "KEEP THE CHANGE"...and he was like so "8 buck tip?" and we were like uh...yeah. and he kept asking and looking confused...and it's like ok dude....so lets say it was a 60 buck bill...10% is like 6 bucks....so we're giving you 15% tip...which is normal. so my friends are like super nice and they pitched in like 5 more bucks. the reason why i thought it was weird was that usually chinese or asian places don't really care about tip. i mean am i being ignorant or don't they usually expect like 10% tip? so either he was complaining about the tip or he didn't understand what was going on....but i seriously think he was just complaining about the tip. what do y'all think?
