Meeting Makibi

Yesterday was a blissful Saturday, breezy, sunny, typical CA good weather. I got Makibi's text message around noon. He happened to be at Stanford campus. We went out for a coffee at Peet's. :") Was my first try of soy latte, and it somehow has a thicker taste than the milk version. By the way, Makibi looks just opposite with his new near-sighted glasses and sunglasses on. :p It was pretty funny. He was totally a (nerdy) study-kind person with his near-sighted glasses on.

We chatted, and had a real in-depth talk about long-distance relationship. I will remember all the advice given by Makibi (exactly what TJ has told me). Knowing it is hard to begin with, things I should learn during the long-d relationship are more than I can imagine. Easier said than done.

I was so happy to meet him, knowing that he is doing good here at CA; He enjoys his work (has been working pretty hard), takes jazz piano lessons (practicing pretty hard), cooks, learning Chinese, and seeing Lisa, his girlfriend, every weekend. :) It's different from B'more life. He gets to learn, and gets to do things alone. However, people make most progress during these transition period. This is when we learn more about ourselves and become a better person. :)
