Is this natural? It’s only been five months…It’s already been five months. Will it last? I can’t help feeling that one tiny wrong turn of events will ruin everything and this will evaporate. I am only human. You are only human. I love you are just words. When you smile at me, when you wink at me, my heart stops. Melts. Every single time. What do I do? What do I do, because I have to leave so soon? Why does physical distance matter so much? Why do we have such different goals in life…?
i spent a good part of my childhood growing up in Snellville, Georgia (“Everybody’s Somebody in Snellville). I’ve also been raised Baptist, and the pastor of the church I attended since I was a baby had his theological degree from Bob Jones in South Carolina. So you could say I’m Southern Baptist. I’ve never lived anywhere else in America (but I did spend my teen years in Korea) until I went to Dartmouth.
A conversation I had with my friend my senior year made me realized this had more effect on my personality than I thought. My friend never knew that I lived in Georgia, and I had just told him. He answered with “Ohhhhhh. I could see that.” I asked him what he meant. He told me I had this southern belle quality that made sense when he learned that I grew up in Georgia.
An Asian southern belle?????
Interesting.
One picture of a tiny kitten, barely a few weeks old, clutching onto a teddy bear that’s its size. Followed by a picture of the now-grown-up cat, hugging onto the same, tiny teddy bear, now barely a tenth of its size.

so i was cleaning out some DISGUSTING things from the fridge, for instance old relish. and i dropped the container and the relish splashed all over. i cleaned it up and went back to minding my own business. i just felt my leg itch and i scratched it, and discovered relish on my leg…it’s itching like CRAZY even after i washed it and now i’m scared i got some freakish cooties. ewwwwwwww.

goes by slowly when you have nothing to do.
In the past week, i’ve finished two books:
1Q84 by murakami haruki
the last lecture by randy pausche
and currently reading:
the lovely bones by alice sebold
lolita by vladimir nabokov
낙타무릎 by 전병욱 목사
1Q84 by Haruki was a disappointment. My expectations were high, having heard all these raving reviews of the author. This book, his newest novel, was supposedly the fastest selling books of all time in Japan and Korea, I think. Well, after having finished the two volumes of 1Q84 in just one day, I can say that the novel wasn’t especially thought-provoking. Imaginative, yes. Entertaining, yes. But I didn’t read anything special. It was not much deeper than a novel written for the popular audience, like perhaps those of Dan Brown’s. Maybe the ease with which one can read through his book is Haruki’s merit? I don’t know. I wasn’t too impressed with the content. The book was a fun read nonetheless.
The Last Lecture was great, on the other hand. It was sweet. I found myself wanting to have met Randy Pausch before he passed away. A lot.
I think I’m going to read some classics after this bunch.

God knows.
Whatever is happening, He has prepared for me. Good and bad. I’ve been trying to struggle through trials alone without help from God. Why did I forget that that’s not what He wants me to do?
Thank you God, for blessing me with so many great people in my life. They remind me that I am Your child whenever I get lost. You never let me go, ever, and I love You for loving me so.
