Fri 8/26
early morning, i went to the gym for about two hours on the treadmill…nonstop and according to the monitor i ran, jogged, and power walked for 34 laps, 7.28 miles, and burned about 766 calories….I don ‘t how accurate that thing is -.- I had no “after-effects” so my legs felt fine but saturday morning….they hurt so bad that just moving them while walking hurt. how horrible.
right after, i went to the mall with a friend..and random picture…


LOL i didn’t know these still existed so i was pretty happy to see this public telephone. It looks nice and sleek and its totally high tech now…it even had a slot for credit and debit cards!!! don’t forget the digital screen ;) aiyahhh…..

left: radish/daikon kimchi right: nappa cabbage kimchi
The homemade kimchi above was made about a week ago therefore its almost nicely fermented. I prefer “old kimchi” because the longer it ferments, it starts to get a little sour and gives off that real kimchi flavor, in my opinion.

ahh refreshing watermelon!
we’ve had an ABUNDANCE of fruit at our house the past month! honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, oranges, pears, nectarines, apples…..wow~~~ :D im totally a fruit love too!!! im spoiled with fruit.
Sat 8/27

my brunch.
left: my korean style fried rice right: cabbage kimchi (emergency kimchi)
The cabbage Kimchi above was made more than a month ago? i can’t recall …this was something new and different from the typical kimchi we make so.. sis and I decided to make it.
it was so so spicy….too much…;p LOL!
btw, i think after being into korean food and learning how to “cook”, my tolerance for spicy stuff has definitely increased greatly. a
though its so bad on my skin ;[ i’ve been the laziest of all lazy bums too….seriously like the past month and a half I havent been using a moisturizer or any acne cream ;// shame on me….i hav a couple bottles that either expired last month and ones that are GOING to expire very soon ….a person can only use so much moisturizer…. ;X
its becoming a BAD BAD BAD habit of not using any….gotta go back to the times when i actually cared about my skin….better slap on some moisturizer!!!
my parents were moving most of my sisters stuff frm her apt in school back home and she sure has a lot of stuff for one person ;)
i obviously helped them unload the car and carried the stuff inside ……i can’t believe 4 years hav passed by so quickly and that my sister graduated ALREADY!! i started to think about all the times i’ve went with my parents to drop her off at school in the beginning of the school year and going to pick her up at the end of the year along with bringing her stuff back home….i definitely have the clearest memory of my sisters first year there and going with my dad to help move things into her dorm for the very first time….(yeah thats how close i am with her!!!! ;p)
im not gonna lie…..i did cry when we had to leave her there and come back home without her….I was a junior in hs back then…this was the very first time we were gonna “separate” since we pretty much hav been together since I was born.
I guess its obvious that I had too much of an attachment to her :D mayb she felt the same way back then? I feel like my sister has a strong outside but a weak inside just like a milk chocolate m&m with a harder outside that takes longer to melt while the inside melts quickly. she always seems so strong at the toughest times but i’m sure she was just holding it in…….we usually don’t talk about “emo” stuff like this but I just wanted to rant about how I felt while moving her stuff back home….
im a crybaby…my eyes are starting to water and tears are starting to fall down my face……….NO! its just my allergies kicking in…..!!!
to tell u the truth….if my sister was actually my brother..things would b too different and out of place…having her as my older sister is one of the BEST things that has ever happened to me!!!!
After almost moving all her stuff inside, she called me and i told her about how her “long eared” plant was looking a bit wilted and how it got bent during transportation. I totally forgot wht it was called but she told me not to worry about it and that it’ll die and grow back frm the bud..i had to make the connection to harry potter where he went into dumbledores office and saw his phoenix who suddenly died and was reborn through its own ashes. my sis totally laughed :D so did i cuz im totally a harry potter geek!!
Sun 8/28
didn’t do much but go to work, read the newpaper, work on some school work etc. and listened to music. i guess there hasn’t really been a day were i went without it.
Mon 8/29

grabbed lunch with some good friends and had a bento box! sashimi and pan fried mackerel. tasted pretty good.
rant continues…….
Lately, I’ve been watching this drama called “Scent Of a Woman.” Its about this woman who has done her best at work, in life, and always saved up her money by prevented herself from spending it on nice clothes, designer bags, etc. She suddenly finds out that she has cancer. Its diagnosed at such a late stage where even surgery wouldn’t be able to remove the cancer from spreading. She then decides to quit her job at the travel agency she been working at since around 20 years ago and live life to the FULLEST and the way she wants. She gets a makeover to “upgrade” herself frm her past appearance and she tries to make the director of her former company fall her.
I guess the moral of the drama thus far is that you should cherish your life and live it to the fullest because u’ll never know what could happen in the future…..some people just take life for granted.
the reason y i typed this emo post above and previously is probably bcuz of this drama? iono…..it is teaching me some sort of a life lesson…
i’ve been all emo since who knows when…..too many things are going on in my head right know that i can’t control any of it……so depressing…
i’ve heard from so many ppl that once u enter college your perspective of things change and you become mature or mature-er~~~
I’ve notices that my personality kinda changed and so did my perspective of things in general. I feel like i’m a lot more open minded than i was before and im more understanding of things……not that I was closed minded before….i guess its because I tend to do things according to how I would feel if i were in their shoes….all my life I’ve had a pretty open minded and outgoing personality (even though i never talked much in class..i still don’t) and back in high school i was kinda the same but thought more about how my words and actions could affect someone….i was also not as funny…..i didn’t use to say weird things and joke about stuff much….but i’m like the opposite now especially when i say weird and “funny” stuff in chinese to my family :D….its obvious that i’m way funnier in my mother tongue!! some things just sound funnier in chinese than they do english.
i’m not good at expressing and typing out how i feel or w.e in words but its obvious that I changed for the better. I guess this is what ppl call maturing-age/ adulthood?
I have a very odd personality but I like that I’m that way…..thats just what makes me different and entertaining to the ppl im around. ;D
I’m happy this post in ending on a happier note!! just typing all this stuff down makes me feel so much better….i like to rant too much~~~
in the end of the day….i try my best to be who i really am…..a cheerful person…….
wow, this was a pretty loongggg post! gotta go shower, finish some tidbits of hmwk, clean my room, sleep, wake up and start this whole process over with another beautiful day ahead……all sunshine and happiness! lol~~
aja aja~FIGHTING~~~!!
good nighttt.
