I forgot to mention here... Yesterday was Laurent's 24th birthday. Yes, September 18th.
I surprised him with a 7-inch whole tiramisu cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory at past midnight. And he wasn't surprised at the slightest bit *lol* He read me all too well ^^;

There was not much complication for him inside the terminal upon arriving at LAX. However, the complication was annoying enough for me and Aaron, a friend of mine, who picked him up at the airport. It took us 45 minutes driving to LAX, which is normal, and another 45 minutes (actually more than that) queuing to park and taking the shuttle to the central terminal area... for a total of almost 2 hours before I finally met Laurent. Sheesh O_O The Central Terminal Area (CTA) was closed, that's why. Private vihacles are still prohibited on the CTA, due to the heightened security measures. Thus we all had to park at Lot B or C, which is faaaar away from the CTA, and take the shuttle to the CTA. Good thing Laurent only brought 1 suitcase. It would've been too bothersome had he brought more. But most importantly, he did arrive safe and sound =)

On a not-so-cheerful note, I was attacked by the ever fearful gastro intestinal reflux yesterday evening. That was due to my having had late dinner... and while it had already been late, the meal I had was -very- sour and spicy (a major mistake, yes -_-). My stomach just couldn't take it. I haven't felt that much of pain in years... maybe 8 years or so. It was horrible. I felt like going berserk, but of course I couldn't. My endurance to pain has been very good so far, but I almost couldn't stand that particular one yesterday. Too acute for my body resistance. It took me more than 24 hours to recover. The stomach still hasn't gone back to normal now, it's still very sensitive to meals. Thus I can't eat just about anything.

That complication, along with my dearest monthly suffering, has nicely added up to the club. How wonderful O_O Two great sources of pain at the most perfect time. Yes, yes. How truly convenient. And how I just loooove sarcasm XD Or is it cynical? *shrugs*

Dican, good luck with the exams!
Anne and Garion, I'm recovering ^^v Thank you for the concern.

Sakura, do come back. I missed your writing. Yours is one of my favorites.
Astri, happy belated birthday. It's still the 19th here, but it's already the 20th over there ^^;
