11:03 pm	I am afraid to succeed as much as I am afraid to fail. The website is going up soon and I'm anxious! life is coming at me fast, and I am trying to remember that after all, i am just an animal whose only obligation is to have fun. Let's not forget that. (Comment on this)

7:26 pm	From now on, i'm only putting up friends-only journal, so goodbye everyone. Not that there was anyone reading this to begin with, but i feel more comfortable that way about my mundane bitching. (Comment on this)

10:41 pm	Peace In the middle of a stressful day, i find myself not breathing, as if i'm under a water. Whenever i catch myself doing that, i crack a smile and wonder what i am holding my breath for. I'm happy. Not because I have perfect grades or perfect internships, not because my life is perfect, not because there is zero stress. I am genuinely loving and caring for my friends and my boyfriend, and i can feel that i am genuinely loved. I am blessed. (Comment on this)

9:57 pm	"It's like saving up sex for old age" I am feeling good today. I want to share my favorate quote of the day today: "A few months ago I was talking to another MBA student, a very talented man, about 30 years old from a great school with a great resume. I asked him what he wanted to do for his career, and he replied that he wanted to go into a particular field, but thought he should work for McKinsey for a few years first to add to his resume. To me that's like saving sex for your old age. It makes no sense." (Comment on this)

5:03 pm	When did not wearing bra come back en Vogue? I saw at least 3 pairs of nipples today. It is NOT hot. You just look cold. What is so wrong with bra? it's not 70s anymore. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:18 am	I am addicted to tomatoes. Every morning I wake up, blend 3 to 4 tomatoes and drink it. It all started from my aunt who had breast cancer and told me that tomatoes saved her life. I gave it a try, and now i can't imagine my morning without tomatoes. Anyway, i will bulletpoint the updates 1) I saw Ben Kweller last night. accidently. I walked into the Apple Store only to find out that i need to wait bazzillion years to get my computer fixed, and there he was, Ben Kweller, with his groupies surrounding him. He looked like a cartoon character with his flaming red hair and ugly flannel shirt. I never heard his music so I just looked at him and walked out the store. 2) I am droppping Core Bio because I feel like it. I absolutely cannot stand the "prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, bullshit bullshit ribosome." I know i gotta take it SOMEDAY but it won't be this fall quarter. 3) I invited Misho, Shahidah, Ece, Kim, and Kaval over for dinner, and it was wonderfully relaxing. I guess I am getting old. I find myself wearing leather gloves, tucking in my shirt, and throwing away hoop earrings. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:13 pm	-back from Chicago -attended the Monster DLP -hung out/cooked/drank wine/went to Lake Michigan with T. I asked my friend the other day whether she too sometimes wonder where her relationship will lead to, and she casually tossed a potato chip in her mouth while flipping through TV channels and said, "more fun, i guess. you guys are only 21, both of you are heading toward more fun." I guess i took things too seriously, as i always do. as i always do. (Comment on this)

10:02 am	Count down 4 days until Chicago! So T's summer job is a camp counselor for 8-13 year old innercity kids at a catholic, all-men monastery. When I ask him what he does all day, he just shrugs, and says "talk to kids." Not only it's pretty hilarious to picture him in an all-boys catholic camp, but him squating down to talk to 8 year old boys is just priceless. He said they have weekend trips, and play sports in the afternoon, make smores, and he loves his job. Since he's staying at a monastery, the communal computer has a protection system called "Internet Nanny"(?!!) which does not allow him to view facebook or Shakira's songs i sent him. Whenever I ask him "So... Do you miss estrogen yet?" he just laughs and says he's doing fine. These days T. and I call each other sometimes twice a day just to hear each other laugh. It seems amazing how he can never fail to get a hearty laugh out of me. He was telling me about his trip to Wisconsin this weekend, how his pants were falling off during the tubing activity. He couldn’t adjust it because he would be bounced off the tub, and since he doesn't know how to swim, he was determined not to be left alone in the middle of lake michigan just floating. He had to hold onto the tube to be bounced violently on the water entire way as the boat sped up. He did not lose his pants, but he described the experience as “being kicked in the balls five times a minute.” My internship at World Bank is almost over, and I need to make my plan as soon as possible so i can book my flight. So here are the multiple choices: 1) work at Torshen Capital Management in chicago: upside- experience, downside- more work, no surfing 2) fly to hawaii and surf at waikiki: upside: fun, tan and daiquiri, downside: money, my mom's objection 3) go back to Seoul: upside- family,being pampered, downside: BORING It all depends on whether i hear back from the Torshen company. After applying for CVS cashier position as well as waitressing job at Five Guys, Sushi Ko. and Cafe Asia, i'm up for anything (Comment on this)

So we have women's history month, black history month, poetry month, and then there is a National Ice Cream Month. well, i definitely needed that to remind myself how important it is to have two scoops a day.

1:51 pm	a grating case of narcissm "His puckishness verges on the pathological, calling to mind Jim Carrey's more manic creations, as well as the title character of "Ed," whose quixotic and supposedly amusing attempt to win over a woman was a grating case of narcissm without charm." "a loveable goof, but with little ability to gain traction in your heart." (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:57 am	We're all tremendous cliche I am 21, the age of reason and womanhood. But what i want are the most trivial things. I want that speedy exhilarating feeling that makes my legs jitter, i want a mouthful of juicy watermelon, i want to be on the surf board just floating on the pacific sea, i want to get high on dancing with strangers. all i ever want in my life is to feel tremendously alive and animalistic, just to be an agile beautiful gallant animal (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:26 am	Blues thanks to jared, I went to this jazz club tucked in a little alley and it was fabulous. I wish we could have stayed longer, but price was so exorbitant that we could not stay for the second show. I kinda wish i can work there, whether paid or non-paid so i can listen to free live jazz. Then i came home and talked to T. for good 2 hrs. I get angry at him for the sheer reason that he's not in Washington DC(?!), and he was telling me that he will make more time for me next quarter. As corny as it sounds, he said all he wants to do is to make me happy, and i felt like i was at the top of the world. it's sometimes just unbelievable how i become a hopelesslyromantic15yroldgirl in front of him. Now i've got shitload of work piled for me. this coming monday is a bank holiday, so technically i should be having a four-day weekend, but no, my boss has decided that i need to work on monday as well. I need to make up for the work i have been neglecting because of my parents, and it's gonna suck. i will be coming in sometime on saturday and sunday to make up for the work i've missed.

11:31 pm	Dad's birthday I completely forgot about Dad's birthday, and i did not do anything for him on father's day. when he and i were in the backseat of the taxi heading toward work, he quietely, as-a-matter-of-factly said "I'm turning 52." he buys me cartier watch, and he takes subway when my grandma takes his car. He does not buy anything for himself, and he's getting old. maybe it was the jetleg that made him look that tired, but he looked shrinked. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
