A friend comes to visit.

Claudio came tonight all the way from San Francisco California. His flight would arrive at 8pm and Manu was supposed to pick me up from our apartment. I made sure I took off from work early today, just in case we need to be early. I waited at 6:30, but time came, and Manu still wasn't to be seen. I called him at 7:50pm, and it turns out, he's already at the airport... and with Claudio at that. I was upset and relieved at the same time. He said he'll pick me up, but also at least I don't have to move my ass to see Claudio.

The first thing that Claudio told me when he saw me was that I gained some weight. Hahaha, that seems to be the common theme of people when they see me. That's what my Mom said when she came here several months ago.

Claudio, one of my original buddies when I first came here. He's Mexican and a fun guy at that. Together with Manu, we decided to go to a sports bar. We wanted to have some fun and at the same time watch game 6 of the Heat-Mavericks series. And boy did we have a blast. We caught up with each other's lives and enjoyed the game at the same time. And guess what? The Heat's won!!! Everyone in the bar cheers with you. It was a lot of fun.

We got back to the apartment almost 1am. We talked about each other's past experiences. They talked more and I usually just listened, occasionally adding stuff from my own experiences or adding some punchlines/one liners. They talked about their experience with weed and drunkeness--not necessarily at the same time. I kinda felt out of place since I haven't experienced what they were saying.

Overall, I'm glad that he's here. It's a good change from the monotony of things. We're already planning on going to a lot other places before he comes back to San Francisco.
