I'M ADDICTED...

Thank you Pepperidge Farm for creating such delicious fishy crackers! AND...thank you Kimmie for introducing them to me in college. I remember the Costco sized box that was ALWAYS full for 4 years. :)

I love you little chedder, baked fishy crackers! You are so good in my tummy!!!!!!!!! :)

I'M OFFICIALLY...

A drop out! Yay! I've never dropped out of school in my life, but I did it. On Sunday, 3/15, I was sitting on the couch studying for my Biology exam and I was like "I don't want to do this anymore." So, last week I went online and dropped my class. I haven't felt this free and released in awhile! It's such a great feeling! So, yay!!!!!!! I'm offficially a drop out. I couldn't be any happier. I thought I would regret it, but I haven't felt any regrets at all and every day I'm getting happier and happier. It's such a strange thing.

THIS WEEK SO FAR...

Lately, I've been really passionate about being an advocate for North Koreans. I just finished reading Escape from North Korea and on Monday night I'll be going to see the "Crossing" at Biola. Please see the following preview.


Crossing - Trailer from LiNK Global on Vimeo.

Please pass this trailer along to your family and friends!

To see a screening of this movie, please go to http://www.linkglobal.org/ to find out if there's a showing at a place near you or request one! This link also shows how you can be involve and support the cause.

As a wise friend and I have said this more than once: We MUST be the voice to the voiceless. I can no longer be ignorant about this anymore. So, will you please join me in spreading the word? The least we can do on our part is to become aware of the situation and to pray.

After participating in various events focusing on North Korea the last 2 years and reading the book, I am so GRATEFUL for the life I have here. I have it easy. None of my problems (big or small) can ever compare with the struggles North Koreans faces every day.

PROCRASTINATION.

I'm procrastinating. Yeah!!!!!!!!! Just like the old days. Brandy locked up in her room WORKING on homework. Kimmie taking a nap. Me...procrastinating and trying to find others to procrastinate with me except I'm home and there's no one to procrastinate with. :(

So, here's a recap of my week...

1. Had dinner with the Reeves. Love you guys so much!!!

2. Went from a high to low within seconds, but ended the week a little bit above the middle. I've never realized how evil people can be, especially Christians. It really made me re-check my heart, motives, actions and words.

3. I am starting to like and embrace other Asians. I'm not so turned off by them anymore. I even went to a Korean market and a Tofu House for dinner. No stares this time, which is nice.

4. Just because I'm more open embracing those of my own kind, I am no where near attracted to Asian men at all beyond friendship. I just want to clear the air before rumors get started and people starts to ask me questions. I've had a few already. So, unless the Asian boy looks like a TALL, BLONDE guy, then the answer is still no. :)

4. I love living in a big house. There's a living room with 3 full couches and a very cozy love seat. We all have a spot that's our own in the room to spread out with our laptops and papers. It's great!

5. I've decided for the next 3 months, I'm taking a break from church and its duties. I'll still be going to church, just sneaking in and out. I'll miss playing with the kids too! :( It's just for a couple of months.

6. I've decided that I need to live on a budget. This kinds of scares me. I haven't decided how I should approach this subject. So, if you are an EXPERT in this area, please HELP ME!!!!! I know a few of you are really good with your money, so please pass on your advice!!! :)

7. I'm getting back on track with working out. It's been almost a year. :) It's time. I've exercised 3 times this week! That's a good start right?

8. I want to start my own news station and only report good and happy things. All the stuff that's on the news now just makes people depressed and scared. It's just retarded.

9. The thought of moving up to Redding, CA makes me happy. Don't know when that's going to happen, but when it does happen, it will be a glorious day!

10. I am missing my friends, near and far. :(

5 WAYS TO MISERY.

My friend Gina showed me this video and I LOVED IT!!!!! Hope you'll get a good laugh from it like I did. :) Enjoy!!!

AND I WANT TO LIVE HERE...

Interesting articles on the web today. I've already posted one earlier this morning. You can click HERE to read it. Here are two more articles. One talks about the HAPPIEST PLACES (Disneyland isn't even on the list!) to live in the States and the other one about a CAVE HOME. Now if I can just move the cave home to one of the happiest place, like Hawaii, I think I would be quite happy. :)

WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE IN A CAVE HOME IN HAWAII????

PROBABLY WILL NEVER BE ONE OF THESE...

Here's an ARTICLE that I read/skimmed through this morning. I don't think I will EVER become one of "those" people. They've taken being cheap to a whole new level! I don't have a problem with being cheap, but when it's this extreme, it's just not worth it to me. We'll see as the recession continues. :)

What do you think???????

WHAT IS MY PROBLEM??

I have this problem and I'm not sure what causes it. I can't seem to pay my bills when I have the time to and then comes due date, I'm scrambling and there's no time to do it. I also have a problem sending out packages and buying presents. I have 2 things sitting under my desk that I need to send out to people. One has been sitting there for a couple of months and the other one over a week. It's driving me nuts that I don't have the motivation to get these things out the door. What is my problem? I need to be diagnosed and I need to get help! Does anyone know what I have????

And, let me reiterate again how much I despise talking on the phone. I despise it so much that I will not even listen to my voicemail until days later and even then I don't really pay much attention to it. I listen to make sure that you sound calm and not in a state of emergency and then I stop it and delete it. So, sorry if you've left me messages and asked me questions and I haven't gotten back to you. Please just text me. It's a lot easier that way. :) (Even the iPhone doesn't help with me wanting to talk on the phone anymore. It was very short-lived.)

LET'S BE HONEST.

Let's be honest....

1. Last Sunday, we sung a new song during worship written by the worship pastor. Let's be honest, I wasn't a big fan. It kind of ruined my mood to worship. The message was great though! But then they had us sing it again at the end. :(

2. God is cutting people out of my life. Let's be honest, I don't feel pain or regrets or sadness. I feel quite refreshed, empowered and FREE!!!!

3. I'm not the type of person that will give people affirmation ESPECIALLY when they are looking for it. Let's be honest, it really gives me bad vibes when people do that and makes me want to run the other way.

4. Skinny jeans. Let's be honest, I ABSOLUTELY HATE THEM. I HATE THE WAY THEY LOOK AND I HATE IT EVEN MORE WHEN THEY ARE ON BOYS.

5. Let's be honest, I am really looking into hiring someone to cook my meals, clean my room and bathroom and run my errands. I am not making BIG bucks here, but it would be so worth it if I didn't have to do any of those myself.

6. Let's be honest, there are several people at work that just annoys me to know end. It doesn't really matter what mood I'm in, they seem to ruin it when they are near me. There are times when I imagine them punching them in the face. But by the grace of God, I have been able to restrain myself.

7. I dislike it when people write Iphone, Itunes, etc...especially when they are writing about how big of a fan they are to Apple products. Let's be honest, they aren't. It's iPhone, iTunes, etc... Get with it people!

8. iPhone really has changed my life and I love it to know end. That's just the truth. I've left my purse in the car and took my iPhone the other day because it's worth more than what I have in my purse.

9. I hate talking on the phone. I have more to say if via email/text/chat. But once you get me on the phone, everything slips my mind and I'm absolutely speechless.

10. I do not get along with people who are fake. I just can't be around them. To much fakeness actually makes my tummy upset.

03/03/09 UPDATE :)

A quick update on my life as of 3/3/09:

1. I was shocked over what happened on the Bachelor last night. Seriously Jason...you have just single-handily proved that ALL men are pigs. Thanks.

2. I'm detoxing from FACEBOOK! I know! It was dictating my life and every free moment that I have. I will be the first to admit: I HAVE AN ADDICTION! So this is why the drastic measure has to take place. So, now that I don't have Facebook, I blog instead. :)

3. My hairdresser went scissor happy on my hair. It's shorter than what I wanted, but it's cute. After the cut, I looked into the mirror and realized that I'm a spitting image of my mother when she was my age. It was kind of shocking how I look like her!

4. Today, one of my co-workers came and told me that she got up at 5 AM to prepare me lunch, a Korean tofu-soup (yum!) and that she's packed a Tuna sandwich for me to bring to class. Isn't that sweet?! I love my friends!

5. It's funny to me that God keeps filling up my life with stuff...good stuff. Whenever I'm just about to think "Ok...I think this is it..." He comes through. I'm just in amazement right now.

6. I'm beginning to realize how much I do not want to please men and that my heart aches to do everything for the Lord. It literally makes my tummy upset and makes me sick. And I know I have a few quirks and kinks to work out on my end too. I'm in no way perfect! But I can try!

7. I AM LOVING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REDDING, CA

Well, I'm currently sitting up front at the office being the receptionist for the next 30 minutes. I figured that I should use my time wisely and update my blog like I've said I would. :)

A week ago, my friend Sylvia along with her mom, Susan, drove up to Redding, CA to attend a church up there called Bethel (www.ibethel.org). We stopped in Bakersfield on Thursday night and stayed with the Browns to help break up the trip and left Friday morning for our drive to Redding.

We've decided to head up there after Sylvia returned from her trip to Virginia. One night we were sitting on my couch and she said that she wants to go to Bethel before she makes her permanent move out to Virginia. I couldn't believe what I was hearing because during the two weeks that she was gone, I had this overwhelming feeling to make a take a road trip to Bethel and I was to do it with her. It was a feeling that I couldn't shake away. I didn't know how to bring it up due to circumstances (limited available dates, finances, etc...). But when we both mentioned it, we knew that we needed to make a trip up there. So, we did! AND we had a BLAST!

We often hear that God works in mysterious ways. He definitely worked and imparted to each of us gifts, wisdom, blessings and so much more during our short time up there. We were each touched by different ways and left feeling refreshed, renewed and ready to take on the next step of our journey!

If God called me to move up there just to be part of this church, I can honestly say that I am willing to pack up all my belongings and leave everything behind and go. Now, I'm just waiting for Him to give me permission to move. When He does, you better believe that I will be out of here in no time! (Ok...I realize there's all these logistical things that comes with it and all, so, once that is all settled, I will waste no time in getting in my car and driving up there.)

I'm ready for a change, even though I don't handle changes very well. But I'm ready. He's prepared me for this season for awhile now and is continuing to do so. I know because my whole life has changed. Friends that I've been friends with for years and shared everything with has been cut out of my life. Other things are just coming to the end of their chapter. Sad? Yes and no. I feel quite relieved actually. I call it "peace that surpasses all understanding." :)

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog of mine. I've been kind of avoiding it because there are times when I want to write something, I'm not motivated to do it. Then, there's time when I absolutely cannot even come up with one word to write. There's really nothing inbetween for me. It's kind of how life is for me too. It's either I'm really busy or I absolutely ran out of things to do. Nothing in between. No balance! Why is that?

Anyway, so much has happened since my last post! Here's a quick run down of the major things that has happened so far:

1. I've moved from Fullerton to Brea.

2. I drove up for an AMAZING weekend to Redding with Sylvia.

3. I've deleted people out of my life.

4. Audit started and now is finished.

5. Started school, took my first test and passed (barely).

6. In the midst of changing church.

7. Seeing people from my past.

8. Met a lot of new people/friends.

9. Celebrated 5 birthdays within a one week span and more to come!

10. Seeing how God highly favors me through all my crazy endeavors.

11. Realized how much I HATE change.

12. Realized how much I CANNOT multi-task.

13. In those quiet moments with my iPod, journal, Bible is when I can hear God most clearly.

14. My best friend moved to Virginia. :(

15. Trying to figure out the next step in my life (this will be #16-1 million).

Through all of this, I have to say that God truly has been so GOOD to me. I don't regret anything. I know that He's taking me through a season of change and a season where my inheritance will bloom! I AM SO EXCITED! I know that there are going to be some low times too, but the end will be more than I can possibly have imagined. It is through those times I grow and become stronger. I love those moments even when it seems dreadful. :)

Thank you for journeying along with me.
