Finding out that I can do Legal Studies 195. Wasting two hours talking with Karen about Roy. Praying that I will never be as susceptible to the affections of a guy. Buying two sweaters for $25. Ugly thermal underwear.

Young Nak EM service on who we are. Roly-poly Byung-chan. Nancy and her sister not wanting to attend service. Carnitas. 1 bite rice, 1 bite meat. Sewon and I's uselessness. Hannah and Scott. Crepes at Farmer's Market. Dispelling ideals about New York. Scott's horrible asking to take a picture. Whipped cream. Forgettting Scott's sn: spped? scoot? Sweating when arriving to LA. Chilling at Crate and Barrel. Andre's Restaurant. Free drinks and free garlic bread. Spaghetti and veggie lasagna. Cafeteria style. Cranky irritable girls from traffic and the cold. "Can we get out of here? There's so many f*n weird people here!"-Jeniffer. 8 girls in Linda's Civic. Hannah's gum. Missing the 5 N and going back home. Driving back around and going to Burbank. Odd reactions. Guy thongs. Andy and Roy rolling around in bed. Calvin and Hobbes!!! Getting smacked in the face repeatedly by Roy. Halcyon.

Drive through Downey on Firestone Blvd. Unexpected conversation at Costco. Weird smiles. House-cleaning.

LA and old friends. ��� turned into Sool-dogg. Spending half an hour deciding what to eat, only to return to Curry Factory. Hamburger steak and chicken �. Little ����. Cafe Home and the ����. Paying $10 for ���� to sing 2 songs. New York and Chicago talk and of all the good food there. Plans to meet again tomorrow. Sticker and camera touristy pictures. R. Kelly on the way home.

Thankfulness for some great times.

Grand Lux Cafe. Jo's generous attempt. Karen's unwanted open-faced curry chicken salad sandwich. Cafe Home and ���� ���, Ŀ�� �Ϻ��, and �v���. Old memories. Connect Four. Chinese checkers with Kristy, the advanced player. Linda and my preoccupation with the food. Friendly chat with Mona. Finding the perfect card. Playing with the family.

A rainy Christmas. Remembering Christ's unconditional love for us.

ū����, �ƺ�, and me at �η��� with the ���� and the �����. A boy friend nicknamed ���� who I crushed on. "�׷��� ����� ��f �߻��� ���ھ�."

Grinning foolishly at happy scenes in a movie. I want to frolick at the beach again.

I can look at the ocean forever.

Decorated houses. Driving with the windows open and the heater on. The rain.

A 4.5 hour talk. "Hey, I like punching you." Pinching, tickling, scratching, punching, prodding, and best of all, biting. The 5th wheel and getting out. Being truly happy.

Homemade cards. A very Merry Christmas. =]

Evaluting different things. The true meaning of Christmas. Making dinner for the family. Ice cream. "100 years" by Five for Fighting.

One of the quickest Costco trips ever. Not wanting to pack. Being the only person to burn mandoo. The Last Samurai. A plethora of movie candy. EZ Stop Deli's tuna sandwich. Being more emotional than before. Awkward gift-giving under the clever pretense of a vacuum. Why must things always be so awkward with Kwansoo?

Two hours of sleep. Fremont with Andy and Kwansoo. The horrible and not subtle way. Bacchus. Tri-City. Not being articulate in my descriptions and pointing to ambiguous objects under the impression that people can read my mind. Choosing things based on their aesthetics rather than level of comfort. Andy and Kwansoo like being gay lovers dressed alike and romping around the store together. Outback Steakhouse being a bust. Hometown Buffet. Awkward prayers. =[ Discussion of Chomp and perfecting the art of over-eating. Coughing and choking on food. Needing to survey the food before consumption. A boy's method is to get only one plate at a time. Over-chattiness. Winged Migration. A nap in Kwansoo's car. Lord of the Rings 3. Jenny getting too scared easily. Obnoxious comments made by Frank and Kwansoo the entire movie. Cheesy lines that made me cringe and groan. Justin McRoberts' Untitled CD. An unexpected but much appreciated DVD player. No more caffeine for a long time.

At Costco:

Nice man: Do you only have that? [pointing at my chest]
Me: What?
Nice man: Do you want to go in front of me?
Me: Huh?
Nice man: Is that all you're going to buy?
Me: Yes.
Nice man: Well, you can go ahead of me then.
Me: Really?
Nice man to woman behind me: She only has one thing. That's incredible.
Nice man to cashier woman: Can you believe it? Look at her. She's only buying one thing.
Cashier woman: Haha.
Nice man: There should be an award for this. She should be "Customer of the Month." Who goes to Costco and comes out with one thing? How did she bypass everything else?
Cashier woman: Well, maybe next time.
Me: Yes, there's always next time. Haha. Thank you. Good-bye.
Nice man: Good-bye!


At Ikea:

Little boy who looks like the little boy from Love Actually: "Mommy, what about Pepsi?"
Mommy: "That's a soda. And those are yucky."
Mommy to Grandma: "Can you take him to get some water?"

2 minutes later:
The little boy, clutching an Aquafina water bottle to his chest, and beaming while literally skipping with glee.


... Simple pleasures. =]

preppykc: hahah sewon is so your biotch!!!
preppykc: you should marry her

bCxaNgeL143: breathe in deep
bCxaNgeL143: and count ur blessings
bCxaNgeL143: and not ur curses
bCxaNgeL143: :-)

A cute and encouraging e-card from Janet. LOCKY.

"Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!"

How great is Frank Sinatra? =]

3-5am Fat Guy feast: Cream cheese walnut rolls, stale soybean crisps, Ƣ�� ����, Sapporo Ichiban ���, ¥¯��� ��ġ, ��ġ��, and H�agen-Dazs Mocha Almond Fudge.

Throwing your head all the way back and laughing until the muscles on the side of your body start to cramp up and hurt.

This is the life. =]

"And how's my favorite CA doing today?"
"Hi John. Not so great, actually. But wow. Thanks for asking."

Heifer International My namesake. =]

Comfort activity: Listening to Michael Bubl� and baking English toffee bit cookies.

Determination to do what's right.


... And suddenly, everything is a tiny bit clearer.

Bay Street with Nancy, Fred, Kenneth, and Sewon. No more Rubio's for a while. My secret santa. =] Rolling around and not studying. Justin McRoberts. The storm. =] Dae Jang Kum: rather wanting to get hit 100 times. Mandoo.

Sushi House with Nancy. =] Walking in the rain. Chardonnay with Roy. Nancy's Christmas party. 3 shots plus/minus one. Jajnet taking pictures forever. Talking with Roy and finding that Andy and Kwansoo left me. Promise of more future talks. To rainy days. 25 to 21. Kwansoo saying that I reek of alcohol. =[ A random Safeway trip. I don't understand Andy Chon. One cup of water and promising to return it before winter break. An emotional night. What have I done wrong now??

snobunnynk (4:15:06 AM): dont GO to capri
snobunnynk (4:15:11 AM): thye're like vampires

A stunning new discovery: Every car has what I've coined the "engine thermostat." It informs the driver of the temperature of the car's engine. For example, on a cold night such as this, the "engine thermostat" is under the C(old), indicating that the engine has yet to be heated. However, while the driver proceeds to drive, the "engine thermostat" reaches somewhere in between the C(old) and the H(ot) letters, thus indicating that the engine has heated up to that level.


Fascinating.

Songs #10 and #11. Frozen hands and nose. Puckered and wrinkled mouths. Relishing fun email exchanges. Being truly fat and overeating. The absurd and inconceivable idea of having ninnies as friends. Osmosis and potatoes. Fond memories of good times. "Concomitant."


"If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God."

Thanks Jacob Oppa. =]

A productive day at work only to find that it wont work on my computer. Shopping for snowboarding shoes. Talk about Roy with Karen. Care packages and hugs. The rain. =] More shopping online. $9.50 on a movie.

�Think about the kids you used to know, who would be around your age now had they survived the car accident, shooting, or illness.... pretty big number, huh.�

More bloated a face after eating then sleeping or from crying? Dessert first. Fuddruckers. Painting at work. 9:30pm-9:30am. Kristy's help. Manly red and green.

Smiley Alice during Allelu. Drawing faces with Heidi. Taking a nap in nursery. SF with Julie and Sewon. A nice day. Caffeine. A tired but fulfilling day. Elephants and Carebears. Sitting in front of Christmas trees. Eye cream. Hand lotion for us. The perfect card. Christmas trees and wreaths. Having the runs. 1st fish taco. Elf again. Loud obnoxious laughter, and "Oh Lord." Crying the second time around. Being happy. Spending 15 min figuring out how to make a box.

Over-sleeping. Walking in the rain, getting drenched, and loving every moment. A hot shower. Steaks, instant potatoes, mandarin dressing. Goody bag care packages. 100% red zone. Cd keys. No burner. Chewing on a guy's jaj. Potential beef. Nicknames: Putty and Stuck on you.

The Last Samurai. Forgetting to breathe and wipe away tears. Beautiful landscape. Simple beauty. Pastor Ting as Katsumato. Adorable little boys. Honor. Compassion.

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime;
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone;
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness."

-Reinhold Niebuhr.

Song #8. An overly generous evaluation. Failed attempt to celebrate due to funky stomach problems. Walking in the rain with Andy under the umbrella. Tricky door. $10 ASUC gift certificate. Cultured guys vs. cultured girls. A three hour long grammar project. A clenched jaw, burning throat, and repressed tears. A hurting sadness. Free samples. Fred's wasted free popcorn. Gothika. Useless upper righthand corner. Fred flinching and spazzing. Bitten left cheek. Snow gently falling on an upturned face. Movies, movies, movies. Starting my own compilation.

Becoming more tolerable? I think not.


Let it rain forever.

Missing another opportunity. Henry's. Connection with girls: Pachabel-Canon in D Major. Consensus with Alex: calamari and quesadillas. Fateful experience with Alex. Last rendezvous with John. Extra avocados and a special touch. NoDoz is a dear friend. Confusing questions. Welcome addition of song #7. A twenty-email correspondence. Bad security man. An incredibly foggy walk home.

The beauty of fall leaves. Driving aimlessly, just gazing.

A tacky Christmas tree. Magic bowling shoes. The saying-words-backwards game.

The unrequited love interest of a particular person. Sudden pangs. Second chances. Having your reaction watched by the one giving you the flowers.


A walk in the rain. It's been a while. =]

Sunday worship at DFC. The lamp and the steps. Black grass. Cal State Long Beach. Mr. Handsome. The 99 cents store and imitation strawberry sundaes. Knockoffs. My moo oven mitt. $2.99 Big Mac value meal. Fruit N Freeze strawberries and cream. 44psi tires. Being John Malkovich. "And that was episode 1..." Masculinity defined by cars and driving. Future breast feeding circles. Merced. The rain. Funny, quirky, adorable fathers. What are our kids going to be like and where are we going to be next year?

Whatever goes, goes.
