The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy,
while cares will drip off like autumn leaves.

Monday, October 12, 2009Randomness short update
I haven't updated for a while...so just as usual when I have work to do, I start to update my xanga. :P I've been digging through my old cds and I found this song from my christian collection back when i was still interested in religion. But nevertheless, I still like this song. It's pretty.
Every Season ~ Nichole Nordeman
Every evening sky, an invitation
To trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In children’s games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer
And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come
You are autumn
And everything in time and under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white, all creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you
When branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter
You are winter
And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe
What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green
So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season’s change
And so it will be
As You are re-creating me
Summer, autumn, winter, spring
Wednesday, November 19, 2008Bigots at school
So I was eating lunch with my classmates when my friend suddenly looked really upset. Apparently, she broke her lunch container and it cracked. Instead of sharing lunch with my other fellow classmate when offered, she left all huffy and puffy for the library and even skipped lunch. I was just thinking," geez..it's just a lunch box..no need to get all upset over such a little thing." Little did I know, that the stupid old red neck geezers sitting next to us clapped and laughed when they saw her predicament and talked about her right in front of her face. My friend was Korean. I'm guessing these people thought she couldn't understand English. == Jerks. I wish I yelled at them for her ....but unfortunately, I was paying too much attention on my food to overhear the commotion.
My point is, just because we're Asian, doesn't mean we don't speak English. Just because we're Asian, doesn't mean automatically we're all Chinese. Now I was passing by the Campus Center one time, and this African American dude just happens to say Ni Hao ( hello) to me in Chinese. I bet he probably didn't even think of the possibility that I could be Japanese, Korean or Chinese. I mean...maybe I look super Chinese since I am Chinese...but I, myself, am not able to tell the difference between Germans or Italians, British or Irish and other Caucasians. You won't see me going up to any Caucasian randomly saying hello in French or German because...first of all...I don't know their background, culture, origin and etc... I don't want to assume anything about anyone that I DO NOT know. It might be a minor thing to some people, but it is really ANNOYING to me.

we're so different :(
Friday, June 27, 2008aw..
wow. I feel old. All my lil cousies are growing up so fast. One already got into med school, others are showing interest in the opposite sex, talking to me in a much more mature way than they seemed to back then...seems all so fast. Back then, they were still running around, calling people names, planning some minor mischief. Now...they're almost behaving like my peers. Well, I'm still older.. dont know if i should be too proud about that. Wrinkles! Saggy skin! gasp. :P
Gonna get me a new tankini today.. It's white with pinky lining...a lil girly for my taste...but I dunno...it looked kinda cute. :P Anyhow, my old one is getting kinda loose.There goes my money.
Thursday, June 26, 2008Very annoyed
I am so pissed. I made appointment yesterday to meet up with a friend after her work. But I waited for half an hour and she didn't come! Not to mention, it was raining and yucky. No phone calls or messages whatsoever to say she's busy or to apologize, not even today. I called like 5 to 6 times....felt so stupid.She already blew me off the last time because of work. That's why I made sure she could make it this time..so she said. It's courtesy to tell people if you're going to be late or not going to come.* fuming* Anyway, I just had to vent. asjflkasjflkajsk ><
I got my wisdom teeth removed today. The upper set. This time I didn't wake up in the middle and feel somebody putting a drill through my gums. Though, I did sort of puke after getting home. My face isn't as swollen as the last time.Good thing. Ah...now, my mom can't bother me anymore about my teeth. She's slightly obsessed with them for some reason. :P
Cat's coming! well, came but left and will come back again!!!! Nice to see somebody from hawaii for once. :) excited!
ARMANI's coming tomorrow! WOOP. I got bally here!
