hey maiv...
i went there...who were you?
maybe i must seen you?

 

[maiv]

did you go to the banquet? i was one of the ushers...the head person made it difficult so we ended up doing our own thing and letting everyone in.

I feel bad - I didn't go... but then I had other priorities that had to be taken care of first...
how was it?

actually, i didn't go to the banguet..i was planning to but since i didn't know anyone i thou it was better to stay home...what workshops did you go to?
i went to the pakou hang lecture, fire performance, and the tragic mountain book lecture, then lastly to the mai-mai..
i was the girl with like 4 other guys..they're my bro...

the conference was fun!!~and interesting..i learnt a lot it...i esp. liked the fire performance..it really touch me and i was going to burst crying because i have connections to it and it was so deep...but you know i didn't b/c ppl were there too...lol
i'm looking for another conference soon!!~

it would be wonderful if we could hold a hmong conference every year, but it's so expensive!! i wasn't able to make it to the first day because i had to work, but second day was great. i went to the fresno school district, yia "the bull" mua, and the ffc workshops. missed one so i hung out at the book selling table and the check-in counter. i know pakou hang from a couple of years back when we took hmong class together. she's so great! i've never gone to hnd before but she said our conference was so much better.
