Lucky Me!

October 30, 2009 blog awards

I’m stressed, and I have tons of work piled up, and I just want to wallow in self-pity, but somebody is just not letting me feel sorry for myself!! So you know how on my last post, I shared my grand revelation that I’m going to celebrate others on my birthdays instead of myself? Well, [...]

Celebration

October 28, 2009 family

Guess what? I was in tears today again for my 22nd birthday. But it wasn’t tears of sorrow or despair or self-pity. It was tears of joy and thanksgiving. My parents had sent me a birthday package (ooh I wonder what it is?) but it wasn’t due to arrive until tomorrow or Friday, so my [...]

Thank God There Is No Forever 21

I love the American system of determining one’s age. You are allowed to stick to your previous age until you hit your birthday, and you don’t turn one until you live outside of your mother’s womb for a whole year. Now, compare it to Korean age reckoning. Your age starts at conception, not birth, and [...]

Sanity Tips from a Grouch

October 24, 2009 eating out

“Are we there yet?” That is the question uttered wearily by every student during this point at the semester. Go on, ask one. They’ll turn to you with bleary eyes and caffeinated jitters, and repeat that same question. Mid-terms has just past, like a great typhoon of late-night studying and flurry of readings and scribblings. [...]

The Past I Bear

October 22, 2009 eating disorders

I surrender. I give up. I resign. I cannot hide from my past. My past defines me; it has shaped me; and it has built the road ahead of me. And now, I have realized that I need to embrace it, or I’ll never have peace with myself. When I first arrived in USC, I [...]

Lovey-Dovey

October 20, 2009 blog meet-up

I’m not a lovey-dovey person. I really am not. Cooing at cute little babies is foreign to me, and romantic gestures like flowers and cute “surprises” creep me out. If I ever get a husband, you’ll probably see us bickering and getting into passionate debates instead of passionate embraces. That said, I have to admit [...]
