FIGHT ON

hayy :)

hmm so these past two days i've been suuuper tired but i didn't really do anything strenuous hahaa
(this is going to take so long to type since mai thinks i type too furiously in the mornings.)

wednesday: boarded a delayed plane at 655 and arrived at burbank around 820. cousin got us to USC in 34 minutes despite LA traffic and i was moved in by 1000. then we drove like 9 miles which took 45 minutes -_- to target/staples/costco and loaded up on the food and toiletries and etc. we then drove half an hour to santa monica, about 5 miles away and ate at this really good italian restaurant. i LOVE santa monica it's a cute little beach town like santa cruzz :)
thenn we came back and i really don't remember what we did until the parkside palooza at 7?? anyway yah that was super lame, i was there for the free pizza and the tshirt haha :) but got to talk to alex and meet his friends or whatever.
went to sreep at 1230, they were playing up right outside our building until 1230 very loudly and no one was watching outside -_- parkside palooza fail D:

thursday: woke up suuuper early D: to go to a seminar titled "academic success" haha -_- wut. yah anyway it was surprisingly crowded O_O when i got back, i chilled in my room and went to lunch with some people at the lot. then i had to come back and study for my test -_- which was the most disorganized thing in the WORLD but surprisingly less challenging than i thought. but some questions were like WTF with vocab about like third world countries and technology and stuff -_- anyway we'll see what i get todayyy
then we just chilled and go to to know each other in each others rooms
we went to the dive-in but that was a bust so we watched marching band on the field and met a drunk guy named CONG LAWL he was the best. anyway haha the story is too long so ask me and i'll tell you in person :)

then we went back and our suitemates got locked out :P and we met a lot of people from our floor like the guys next door HAHA anyway.
then i ate ramen at 1AM bcus i was soo hungry :( and i woke up hungry too!! but we went to sleep at like 2AM.

kay that is all, i have to go to the testing bureau soon to check out mah score. :) wish me luuck

20090819

i will be boarding a plane destined for LA.

my mom bought me a manual powered flashlight that functions as an FM radio, a red light, a cell phone charger, and a siren. i'm ready for USC. lawl

i am sad to be leaving :(

20090817

2 days

wednesday night: went to nate's house and had a grand time :) hahaha we watched for stars and saw some too :)

thursday: went to the moves with DENIZ <3 and then we went to westgate and dined at johnny rockets :D mmm so unhealthy D:
then i hung out with won :) teehee
and did somewhat lame things for a while like work on college apps -_- sighh
anyway, i haven't seen him since! :( he does not want to see me.
i hung out with the guys later who wanted to make mini movies in crowded public places late at night and i was supposedly their female hostage but they got bored and we went to BJs instead and had pizookies at midnight.

friday: went to megan's! and departed for seascape <3 heh yayyy!!
we played at the beach and ate a lot and stayed up late watching movies and baking cookies

saturday: went to the beach in the morning and then left for home all sandy and exhausted. when we got home...we went to tartini! haha and then i actually went home home.
showered and then went to youthgroup where we made cards for the elderly and the sick :) it was fun.
then we had girls night out and watched the time traveler's wife which was really sad/cute/creepy/confusing all at the same time and reminded me of secret kind of -_-

sunday: church!! last sunday at 4hoc :( sad day. we went to lunch afterwards at chipotle and thenn to hau's house to play basketball/frisbee
came home very sweaty and tired at 5PM
then! went to megan's at 7PM to watch the comedy of errors at memorial park :) it was difficult sitting on that slopey hill and only simi knew the actual plot (somewhat) but it was still fun/cold :B
then simi came to my house and my mom cut her hair -_-

and that is the end of my very very eventful week, i overslept this morning.

20090812

AWHFY?



last night/this morning was pretty ridiculous

i went out around noon to run some errands and it took way longer than expected -_- i first went to petroglyph to pick up my mug :) i should have painted more coats :( but i'm pretty satisfied with the way it came out :) anyway, there was no close parking so it took soo long to walk in the heat :(

then i went to the library to return my books before i jet off to L.A. thenn i went to fill up my gas tank. last but not least, i dropped a visit to harker to return my beloved nimbus 2000 to it's rightful owner and talked with mr. daren a bit. then emily chow dropped by with her friend so of course i talked with her. then won and jun came so...i stayed a bit longer. i went home around 4PM -___-

anyway, brian and i came up with the brilliant idea of watching the perseid's meteor shower in my backyard and inviting everyone over and then, after talking it over with alex, we decided that we would hike to some far remote location that was darker than my backyard and watch from there so we all gathered in front of my house at 830 PM. well actually, we left at about 940 PM bcus everyone was late!! (group as of now=alex, paul, anthony, brian, megan, me, and david.) kaytee was supposed to meet us there and we kinda...were really late bcus paul wanted to get his two free tacos at jack in the box -___- so when we finally got there, megan showed us a shortcut to hunter's point, which was the "short" walk and we waited on the curb for kaytee to arrive. then, we waited for won to arrive and the guys to come back with batteries for a flashlight bcus the road up was SCARY AS HECK O_O
it was like walking 20 minutes in pitch black and the guys kept making axeman jokes :( and we had to lug all our sleeping stuff up too.

alex and paul had gone back to pick barrett up and our group grew to 10 people! :P we set up tripods, cameras, blankets, and sleeping bags, and observed the sky. barrett and them just barely came back and we had seen about 4 stars before we kinda got busted for being there after hours and were forced to leave. the park ranger was nice though and let us off. HAHA we are so badass it's awesome.
anyway, barrett paul and alex gave megan a lift back haha and all our stuff and we began our long trek down. at the end, won had to leave and kevin kim joined us as we continued our adventure in the direction of in n' out for some munchies at 1AM.

afterwards, after some minor complications (HAHA and kaytee had left our group :() we made our way to the park near my house (in quite a shady manner). then barrett left :( and we lay under the stars counting meteors and gossiping and laughing until 4AM.
our group had shrunk to 5 people by then and by 5AM, it was just megan, alex, and i lying on my driveway. we finally crashed in my living room at around 530 AM (me and megan) and slept the morning away (hah)

we got up at around 10 and went to hobees for a really late brunch at like 1130 (but not too late yaddidamean ;)) and then went back home to watch cadet kelly -___-
so now i am here. about to go out again.
and very very tired.

i didn't see as many stars this year but i will make wishes for them later :)

last night was the most fun i have had in a long time and a perfect almost-goodbye for college
and it almost made me realize how much more fun it is to be young and reckless
we also reminded us of those silly reality tv shows of those rich fabulous glamorous beautiful people and all they do is hang out till the wee hours of the morning
but we're cooler.
i wouldn't have had last night any other way :)

i can't believe i have to say goodbyeee :(

20090810

Manic Monday

hello again.
so i've taken to writing everything i have to remember on these little post-its (the electronic kind), including many things i have to buy before college so you can imagine they've grown rather long and numerous. and i feel kind of desperate to get rid of one, which i've written down the content of my dreams on so here goes:

this dream was in three separate parts:
1. i guess albert and anthony's meeting of the wondergirls triggered this but my friends and i (simi, megan, ana, mash?) were walking on this like wooden really long porch at night and suddenly out of nowhere this group of famous kpoppers stroll out and are like "OMG DO YOU LIKE US?? ARE YOU FANS??" and masha's like nah "BUT SHE IS!" and shoves me at like, yoobin, or someone. and it was like the wondergirls and some guys who were supposedly in like super junior or something but he didn't look familiar at all and then masha began to take photos of us but the first one, the guy was making some kind of strange pose and totally blocked my face and the second was blurry so i left rather flustered and annoyed that the photos did not come out well.
2. the second part flashed back to when i was part of the senior homecoming court and for some reason, my mother and i had to drive to a far away destination through death valley like land and the buildings along the way all looked very familiar. this segment was rather sci-fi and very degrading as each person we met along the way told me my hair wasn't nice enough (and chopped it off) and my skin wasn't nice enough (and injected this strange thing that made me all wrinkley??) anyway, very nightmarish :( and then i returned back to where the rest of the senior court was and told them that i quit bcus i couldn't handle it (i looked back to normal though for some reason...) and i explained why and then they got all riled up (HAHA) and deej was extremely enraged at this injustice. i guess that was it.
3. the third place was at mai's house although it resembled my old house more than it resembled her house and everything was tinted blue (this isn't the first time this has happened...). for some reason, i was just sitting there chilling with an open umbrella and i dunno, the whole thing was really weird, she had this trunk in her bathroom that had all sorts of things in it and her little brother was jun hee?? and we went upstairs to tell him something and he was with his friends playing video games and he got really annoyed i don't really remember anything else that happened.

yes, i woke up very confused.

anyway, today, albert came over to return my SD card and we ended up talking for a couple hours on the steps in front of mah house. then my mom and i went out for a super late lunch at SR and thenn i chilled at home. then! i hung out with won hee :) and now i am home.

seeing best friends tomorrow <3
began using ipod touch. sadface, kind of!

Late Morning Rambles

1. i think that i'm a huge hypocrite and people give me more credit than i deserve. people supposedly view me as "sincere, and nice" and i "have a heart of gold." they seem to view me higher than how i view myself and to be honest, i'm not a very nice person. i don't think? and i'm quite loud and obnoxious and tend to gossip too much and cuss a bit. all sins.
i went to church by myself on sunday, which was a bit sad. i mean, yesterday was just a sad day in general bcus my rose salve also melted :( and got on my car leather!! :( though it got better bcus won and my mommy and sisters came home.
anyway, the pastor spoke (more generally directed towards a family audience) about leading a blessed and changed life in order to SHOW people how God's affected the way you live. and i began to think (along with the fact that i was translating the sermon in my head faster than the translator was...) that i am hardly a walking testimony.
back in the underclassman years, i tried quite hard to bring my friends to church-and i did. they attended youth group, sunday services, Christian concerts with me, but i have nothing to show for it. so maybe i was trying too hard.
i considered myself to be a good person at the age of 13, naive and innocent. sort of
i'm vaguely different now, although people tend to remember how i used to be.
i don't know where i'm going with this.
but!
as of now, i'm swearing off swearing.
and i hope college makes no time for silly girl gossip.
and i wish i had gone to retreat...

2. i have an (irrational?) fear of becoming completely unoriginal. which is why the thought of having a mac, an ipod touch, a jansport backpack, and rainbows, all at once (not that i do. yet.), makes me feel slightly disturbed
.........
and very materialistic.
i can't help but want to go shopping every last day i'm here just bcus shopping, among other things, presents a dark black hole of mystery down in LA.
MUST. NOT. SPEND. MONEY.
FIND. JOB. (at school...)

3. i'm sorry if i offended anyone/if you have all of the above^

4. my bedding in college is going to be extremely festive. which is vaguely exciting. okay, i lied, very exciting.
my comforter has cinnamoroll on it :) heh sanrio <3
i'm sorry mai, it had to be done.

5. i probably use my mac flight tracker more than a normal person would. which makes me feel slightly all-knowing as well as really, really creepy. on that same note, i am going to track deniz's flight from amsterdam to SFO and i am shoooper excited.

6. my sisters went to thailand WHAAT -_- jealous. they got me cute things though. from hk too, keychains and pens and pencils and the headphones i was GOING to buy with cheney. they know me too well??
cell phone cases and charms (PANDUH!) and a laptop case and my beloved cinnamoroll blanket <3

anyway, that is all.

20090809

TEN DAYS!

!!!!!
it's passing by too quickly :(
and the more i think about it, the less willing i am to convert back into school mode. senior year was a bit different from "regular" high school, i think. so i feel like i have to convert back to the student i was in junior year.
this will take adjustment.

there are so many things to do before i leave and i fear i will not be able to do all of them :(

20090808

still excellent!

today was a good day :)
megan came to my house and picked me up and we went to blue rock shoot to munch on delicious sandwiches at the cute park in the back. after that...we drove around LG downtown and got a bit lost before finding parking and walking to petroglyph! then we spent 4 hours painting cups that WERE NOT OUR FIRST CHOICE haha :( boo
but that's okay, we had fun.
during which, sean called and we made dinner plans before the twins left for scandinavia (norway in a nutshell!) not many people came though being UNREACHABLE DD:
anyway, rio adobe was good as always and i am very content. as is my stomach. we conversed for almost three hours and now i am home.

mommy+sisters come home tomorrowwy :)
and won!!
should i go to church/chinese service tomorrow...? no one there :( not even parents. hermm

20090807

HOLD MY HEART

what
the yecckkk

JAY CHOU IS IN THE GREEN HORNET???
BUT HE CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH -____-
not that i'm complaining.
but wotttt?

20090806

come onnn everybody if you feelin' alright

in the third grade, one of my favorite books to read was "The Kingfisher Young People's Pocket Atlas."
ah, according to the inside cover, i received it as a gift in the winter of '98. excellent. hmm...vaguely outdated, korea doesn't even have it's own section...
lawl the book automatically opens to the worn pages of "the pacific islands," "australia," and "antartica."
i was a weird kid.

anyway, i went to the library a couple days ago to return a few books and came home with quite a few cds and a couple books.
i was in search of some passionate faith-inducing books but the library doesn't quite have a religion section, much less a Christian section. they do, however, have a mystery section....anyway. i gave up only bcus i had to look through monster rows of non-fiction for authors such as c.s. lewis and that was just ridiculous work. also bcus i realized that i have a copy of "mere Christianity," "the purpose-driven life," and "the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe" (which really belongs to brian chao) already sitting on my bookcase.
so i just picked up some girly teenage novels before going home
i didn't really look at the content of these books but upon opening one of them, just happens to be about a Christian girl and her experiences with her faith, her walk with Jesus, and high school.
:) heh, He never ceases to amaze me.....

SO, i haven't really been doing anything these past couple days (in an effort to make up for the few days i skipped out on breakfast, lunch, and dinner at home...) except eating, reading, and DLing old music.
hawk nelson never gets old :)
no matter how good their last couple of albums were, their first one is bombb. i remember listening to it in simi's house in freshman year. still so good :)
i am ashamed to admit that i began listening to them bcus i saw a picture of their rather attractive lead singer, jason dunn, in the SJ Merc accompanying an article titled "building their house on rock." witty title :) it was about Christian rock.

i am having too many subsequent bad hair days. sighh :(
TOMORROW, I WILL GO TO TOFU HOUSE.

next time you're at in n' out, check the bottoms of your cups and wrappers for bible verses :)

20090805

marry me, juliet!

so i was just watching this video of an old friend and a new friend sing/play guitar, they know each other! who knew. anyway,
this inspired me to make a list of random things.

list of random things:
1. i, like ana, have always wanted to kiss someone with pop rocks in mah mouth.
2. i think that there are several things that could be the worst possible things to ever happen an that would be: contracting an STD (mostly from casual sex), getting pregnant when you don't mean to, being infertile, accidentally killing someone (i mean like in a car accident -_- not like accidentally chucking a knife at someone), being involved in a failing marriage (particularly in the middle of your life. like in your 40s or something :/)
3. i think i'm the only girl in the world who thinks that being in the worship band at church is +2938493493 points in attractiveness -_-
4. my first kiss was a girl.
5. i like to reuse teabags but by the third soak it doesn't taste like anything :( and i have an unhealthy obsession with babybel cheese and salami. and i ate in n' out two days in a row. ssssiiiighhhh D: but! i ate a lot of carrots today in an attempt to balance out the inordinate time i spent staring at my computer today.

exactly two weeks

until move-in!!! woww can time just stop now :(
i was excited to go until i realized that it's also exactly three weeks until CLASSES start wwwaaaatttt like after second semester senior year i fell into this lax kinda position where i didn't really care too much about school. i still did well and tried and went to bed late and spent hours on papers etc etc but man it feels weird to get back into that crazed super ridiculous study mode that will persist the next four years T_T
i almost envy 2010.
nah, not really, nvm.
although i was looking at all my photos from senior year and i'm going to miss high school a lot :( particularly october/november etc etc around hc and football season. which sounds silly bcus i'm going to USC but meh.

naoo i am listening to hawk nelson and thinking about how their first album was <3 even though smile it's the end of the world is pretty rad. i'm at a loss as to where all my cds disappear to. esp the ones with autographs on them T_T lawl i opened all my cases today looking for cds and they weren't there??? sighhh
"it's over" is probably the happiest break up song in the world HAHA.

mmm looking forward to:
date on sat :))
sunday!
whenever the fam comes home.........LAWL I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN??
nate's
megan's
mr walsh's wedding?? i wish

TODAY I BOUGHT TICKETS TO THE AWAKE AND ALIVE CONCERT IN LA with skillet and hawk nelson YES i'm so excited hahaha IF ANYONE IS IN LA AT THAT TIME (OCT 27) COME WITH US!! :) they were kinda cheap too so :) i'm excited.
i also finished alcohol education today which was....really really long :(

My Sweet Escape

i finally fell asleep a couple hours after i went to bed last night and woke up exhausted but made it to church on time :) God is good.
i'm really really sad that i can't go to retreat :( and we're hosting it this year!! sigh.

i went to the SCend off lawl and there were so many harker children :P it was fun though, i met a lot of interesting people and we all socialized in a 38 million dollar home. it was excellent.
i met a girl from 1hoc who isn't going to retreat either and that made me feel better :) and she's already suggested that we fellowship-hop once we get to USC :P God is so good.
i also met some fellow fangirls hehhh
i'm really excited for school, i suppose. kind of. we got free stuff too!! that's my favorite kind of stuff.

with that, i leave you with a passage that joe so helpfully pointed out yesterday, one that went right over my head the first time i read it:
"No, in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:37-39
the perfect promise :)

Jesus culture

i am COMPLETELY blown away.
i don't usually go to fellowship and i thought, what the heck, i should make up for the years of not going and go the rest of the summer (aka the last three weeks before i leave) but what a weekend to go! i mean, fellowship went normally enough, logan brought some friends from agape lynbrook including joe! but yesss
at around 9PM we concluded fellowship and we went to tapex to hang out afterwards and what started as a casual tea outing turned into a five hour discussion about God and the less conservative side of christianity and i have to say my mind is on overdrive right now trying to process everything i just heard. we ended up hanging out until past closing time and we finally got kicked out of tap ex and continued the talk in the parking lot until the cops showed up, so we left for a 24 hour donut place so we wouldn't be loitering
it was insane, i mean i suppose joe did all the talking and we did the listening and the little question asking but i'm completely taken by surprise. when i first met joe three weeks ago, he was a very very quiet guy. but today i saw him in a completely different light. he confessed that he would rather talk about God than anything and i believe it, i have almost never seen anyone of our age speak with such conviction and courage. it's obvious what He can do with willing servants.
anyway, i promised i would spend quality time with Jesus and this was amazing timing. the insight that was shared today, between the 6 of us and eventually, the four of us, made me realize how shallow my faith seems to be, not because i am unwilling but because i am unexposed and not fully seeking Him.
but now it is 2AM and i am kind of sreepy, church tomorrow and i promised i wouldn't be late :/
praise the Lord that logan brought joe today, and that no scary men jumped me on the way home bcus i was really weirded out driving home at 1:45 AM. every time i break curfew, it's for church...shhh :P

good night!

Love at the Core

HELLO EVERYONE
i am currently listening to run kid run and this blog is coincidentally named after one of their songs :) just remembered....anyway, these past few days have been good.

thursday:
i woke up super early! kind of, well not really! because i've been waking up early everyday, and went to SR to see 500 days of summer with won :)
what a cute movie, definitely not what i expected though...but i don't want to ruin it for you all so see it!! gordan-levitt is reallyyy cute. i felt this strange surge of anger when i saw UCLA's marching band in it. USC is succeeding in brainwashing me T_T haahahaha
anyway. so happy to see won :) even though he's left me AGAIN this morning for 9 days without any means of communication :((
then! i drove to church and waited for mah friends and then we departed for monterey!

i talk too much. siiigh

anyway. i am so thankful to God that it went well, we got cheaper tickets for going half day (DID NOT EVEN KNOW THIS WAS POSSIBLE!!) and got good standing space relatively close to the stage for almost all three concerts. traffic wasn't bad and parking wasn't bad at all.
the concerts were amazing :) GOD IS AMAZING :D hah. i got matthew west's autograph but we were too lazy to get jeremy camp's hahaha and we didn't see kutless this year :/ but we saw them at the autograph thing hah.
anyway, there is nothing quite like hanging with hundreds of Jesusfreaks. on a very full bladder and a sore back -_____-
tiring, but fun day.

now they're making me wear my "i <3 hardcore Christian boys" to church today -_-

friday:
met with won at 12 and hung out with him until around 3PM when he left me agaain :( so sad.
then i hung out with albert and we did lame things HAH jk like get lots of food and hang out at the park and talk about his SM video he's submitting to them. i hope he becomes a famous chinese kpop star and he can make retarded shout outs to me on tv <3 :)

saturday:
i have not done anything all dayyy. my phone was freaking out just now but it's okay now i think...God i got so scared hahah D:
awaiting fellowship tonight :)

mmm won's on a youth retreat in LV for 9 days!! and we won't get to talk AT ALL but it's a good thing, i think. becauseee...whilst he is chilling with Jesus this whole time, i've decided it's about time JC and i had some quality time together.
