Friends: Part I--Disappearing Acts... Sep 12, 2008 12:52 am Mood: sad, 2516 Views Recently one of my closest friend moved to NYC from Los Angeles without apparent reason. She didn’t meet her “soul mate”, she didn’t have any better paying or more prestigious job waiting, and she didn’t have any families out there. She just quit her job one day and moved. I really admire for her courage and bravery. To begin a new life starting from scratch when one already seems to have everything well established is not for everyone, nor even for majority of us. Oops I digressed. My point was to write about how sad I’m to “lose” such good friend because. Already most of my closest friends are not in Los Angeles thus it makes harder for me to see them and hang out as we once used to regularly. Couple years ago one of my best friend moved away to San Antonio because of her job. I remember actually encouraging her to take a position since it was a good one but I do dearly miss her presence. I’m thankful that I get to see her on regular basis since all her immediate family lives in LA, well not to mention her younger sister is my roommate. Oops I digressed again somewhat. Yesterday, I’ve just found out my other best friend, probably the closest of them all, is moving to Miami, aka “ land of hurricanes”. I’ve grown up with her since junior high and have known her for more than 25 years. Wow, I feel old. Her news was a total shock for me, more so than others. And my heart is heavy with sadness. I guess I will just look it as an opportunity for me to travel more. 23 Comments

FINALLY... Apr 30, 2008 7:10 am Mood: ecstatic, 3004 Views finally, i've "reunited" with my friend whom i haven't had contact for two years or so... i thought we lost contact because he was mad at me for some reason whereas he thought i was mad at him...funny how DIFFERENT our memories are... we tried catching up with our lives at a near by pho restaurant... unfortunately even though they were kind to let us in to eat at the same time, they pretty much kicked us out since they close at 9pm...wow, so early!!! we came back to my place and did more catching up... we talked about all the things we used to do together, i.e. going to library in little tokyo, cooking, doing sudo-ku, knitting (he even knits!), driving around, more importantly just hanging out...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i'm a happy camper!!! he's already taught me the correct way to grow basil and we stole some sweet basil leaves (from the pho rest) to plant too... 9 Comments

Film-ee kkeun ki-da (Blackout) PARTII Apr 30, 2008 6:31 am Mood: still hung over, 3447 Views Wow, for the first time in my life, I got so drunk that I’ve experienced what is called “film-ee kkeun ki-da”(black out). Although I’ve witnessed many others and heard about it all the time, I’ve never expected it to happen to me. Oh well, I should think “positive” and say “hey, there’s always first time”. NOT!!! Blacking out because you’re drunk is not something that you need to apply “there’s always first time” as far as I’m concerned. At least it felt nice that someone (actually more than one person) held my hands and guided me. Dang, I need to find other means of holding some guy’s or girl's hand. 20 Comments

Film-ee kkeun kki-da (Blackout) PART I Apr 30, 2008 6:24 am Mood: hung over, 2839 Views KFF Times: Opinion What is the world turning into?!?!?! As I wait for my yogurt at Pinkberry, although I'd personally prefer some latte myself. I come across some disheveled woman who barely seems to walk. It was a very unsightly scene. I believe this woman was in her mid to late 30s, what one would label as another ajumma. She was very “tong-tong” with short hair that was bit unusual in K-town. As I watch her rushing zigzagging towards the public restroom, I witness something I wished I hadn’t at that moment. It was just like something that I’ve only seen on K-dramas as an eyesore. Apparently she couldn’t wait for her friend to bring the restroom key and up-chucks right in front of my horror filled eyes and her friend next to her. Ackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, there goes my yogurt. OMG, that’s me!!!! advise: do NOT drink and drive 13 Comments
