so i've finally landed in taiwan. it seems like it didn't really take that much time to get here.. probably because i slept most of the way here. i didn't watch a lot of movies, which i usually do.. i was far too exhausted. plus i wanted to get the jet lag in check since i'm not here for that long. i can't waste it in the wrong time zone! yesterday was a marathon of packing and trying to get things ready. i got 2.5 hours of sleep and still made it through the work day, went to go see my chiropractor, bought a halloween costume (which i'm still not sure about yet), and finished up the packing. i got to go into the vip lounge and sat and had wine and crackers and then we had to take a bus to the remote gate where our plane was docked. it was strange because we were on this bus on the tarmac just cruising around. it was like we were vips.. or maybe in the movie speed. hahah. i fell asleep once we boarded and even slept through take off, which has only happened one other time when i had gotten 0 hrs of sleep the day before. watched the longest yard which was actually good and funny. i laughed out loud a few times.. i hope i didn't wake anyone up. i could totally tell where they filmed the parts at el co.. so i got pretty excited for that. ate and slept.. that was the plane ride :P

it's 20 degrees celcius... i'm not sure how that translates to farenheit... i was never good at that. it's drizzling too.. bleh.. i thought i had gotten away from that. we landed around 6am, got a ride to taipei and now it's almost 9am. sucks though because i only now just realized that we totally forgot the luggage with all the stuff my mom wanted to bring for her. it makes me feel so self absorbed.. that i was only concerned with my stuff, and packing stuff for my sister, that it didn't even occur to me that even though we only had 3 bags, no one remembered about the stuff for my mom. bah.. it's not quite that simple, and there are a few reasons why, but bottom line is i should have remembered. argh.

the 1 month party for my nephew is tonight :) so that will be fun. it's small and only family. so nothing too crazy :P i think i'm going to nap and shower and get ready for the day... i shouldn't be tired, but i still am... luckily since it's 9am, people won't think i'm too lazy if i go back to sleep (as opposed it being 6pm in cali).
