I have come to notice the only times I write in my journal is when I'm either ranting or being spiritually reflective. So it goes: "OMG I HATE MY BOYFRIEND" then "THANKS GOD FOR LIFE."

seriously man.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

and this is for shendi (and you better be applying to chicago!)

순수함은 사람을
강하고 올바르며 총명하게 만든다.
역경에 처해서도 그 환경을 순수하게 받아들이고
이겨내는 사람, 순조로운 환경에서 순수한 마음으로
자신의 성장을 위해 최선을 다하는 사람, 그 여정은
다르지만 둘 다 강하고 올바르며
훌륭한 자질을 갖추고 있다.

- 마쓰시다 고노스케의 <해야 할 일은 해야한다>중에서 -

and for dave, because he appreciates 순수함.
happy birfday..

three questions

Sat, 27 Aug 2005 04:03:19 GMT

how do you remove "friends" from your livejournal profile? speaking of removing "friends," how do you do the same thing on the facebook?

does anyone else feel like the facebook's new layout makes you feel like a new person...in a bad way?

today is the 60th anniversary of korea's independence from japan.

in celebration, i shall make a picture post.
plus, i'm bored.

so this summer has been filled with lots and lots of good food (mostly meat), good people (mostly family), good times. here are some pictures--taken in no particular order--in seoul, kyoto, aichi, and the suburbs and boonies of korea (kyoto and aichi are in japan). the real good ones will come in album form after i develop my pictures.

after a japanese bath, some grrreen tea with my cousin

we visited an expo at aichi. at the chinese hall, there were a wall of family names. guess what the first one was listed? CHO! is cho a chinese name? i do not know. side note: my sister is not taller than me. the ground was sloped

sueminn (the above sister, age 14) being an anime character

me and my cousin, yeowon, who cannot yet pronounce "s" because she's 5 and her tongue is short. my name sounds something like "tuhyanee unni" = big sister suehyan

view from the car window on the way to my dad's place in the country

me and my "bad" cousin haewon being azn's. don't you wish you could've been there. we were so hot.

this is part two of the campaign posted on japanese trains. part one is featured on my facebook account

bye bye

I got this email today.

-IvyConnection

It is from this very elitist tutoring company that I wanted to work for, because they pay a lot. But since I won't be around for very long, they decided not to make me teach 6 hour SAT classes to kids who probably will be older than I. Am I sad? No, just filled with thought about how Ashley warned me not to sell my soul there..

I should've listened.

Sun, 03 Jul 2005 19:19:36 GMT

i'm trying to resist,
but the wild emo music drifting out from my sisters' room
is making me giddy.
whiny voices from 2, 3 years ago?
why thou art make me so excited?

i just came upstairs from eating frozen pizza and simultaneously discussing my re-encounter with zach with my mother.

teehee.

Thu, 23 Jun 2005 02:16:35 GMT

ahoy.
i'm home, yes it's home, my mom asked me if it feels like home, and it does.
this keyboard is so loud! i now remember why it annoys the crap outta me when my sister types on this 9837wpm.
oh em gee! i had really good korean food, smothered in sesame oil. suea had a scab on her face and i asked what it was. turns out to be soy sauce. puhhhhhhha
i'm still coughing.
i haven't looked at livejournal and there are all these posts about graduation and meg zandi's life...
oy vey. today i watched about a minute of beauty and the geek and the weird lanky guy on it said that. oy vey.
the plane ride was fine. except i was listening to frou frou and reading a tree grows in brooklyn and snot and tears came running down like niagra. i ran out of tissues. i remembered allison's story about that gross guy who sat next to her on the plane to chicago and how he was waving his hands cuz he had snot all over them and didn't have any where to put them.
then i came home and read some more of a tree grows in brooklyn and cried some more. i think crying is a wonderful thing.
there's this feeling of pregnancy in the air. like, something is about to happen. except i don't know what. my heart is light and heavy at the same time. i need peace.

allison, i cut my hair, too

i love finals. everyone updates their blogs, because there is nothing else to do except study. and study is boring. so they'd rather chronicle their lives.
also, i get to see jake in a wrinkled shirt.
and everyone has dark circles under eyes, and dinner is boring because everyone is tired and cranky (ahem). also, it gives me a chance to discover many new things, like the fact that my worst enemy from middle school is still alive (i just found her xanga). i am not being sarcastic! i couldn't speak very well yesterday because I had been shut up in crerar. everything sticky makes me want to not touch people's skins. Zalaquett is a crazy guy. he was part of the Chilean National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation following the end of the Pinchot military regime. Dayam. I need to write that paper. This is weird. I want this to end. But I like finals, and the sunshine.

and air conditioning.

Sat, 04 Jun 2005 23:50:56 GMT

today is the day i found out xanga has a jew blog ring.
and! jyc is...korean?!
most shocking 'tis.

Fri, 06 May 2005 18:48:50 GMT

the social justice seder was great.
despite the fact that i accidentally set fire to my napkin from the center piece candles
upon which i frantically poured my wine (read: kosher grape juice) on it and dave came to the rescue by pouring some more wine/juice on it.
upon which! this high strung guy from new york city yelled, "don't do it! it has sugar in it!"
well. it did the job.

alas, i was just reading one my sister's 1203928384743239 surveys she has on her xanga, and it said:

have you ever set yourself on fire for amusement: i think so. i set a kleenex on fire and then dropped it on the floor once, though.

le sigh.

today i took a nap at the mccormick lounge.
i had a strange dream.
i don't know which came first, but at some point, i was in the south (texas, maybe?), running barefoot outside a white house. the sand was dark and very, very soft. there was a tan white woman inside the house with dirty blonde hair and tight ripped jeans, 80s style.

at another point, i was lying on the floor of a public locker room/bathroom naked. i couldn't get up; my eyes were too heavy, my entire body felt much too heavy for me to lift. i cried for help but no one helped me. i was trapped, by my own body, under all the heavy weight.

i woke up several hours later, and did not regret missing what surely must have been a rather unproductive time discussing parts of Kant that i did not read. the room was stifling. my friend john was lying on the couch facing mine. i did not say hi.

i biked home and worked on my financial aid.

so yes.

Sat, 19 Mar 2005 21:34:20 GMT

so yes. we have made it through the 22 hr bus ride to austin, texas.
and at holiday inn, i get 1 day of "complimentary free wireless access," so i figured why not. update mon livejournale.
not that i have much to write:

as soon as we crossed the arkansas-tx border, the weather seemed to change. it was really, really hot. and the bus had no air conditioning. i fell asleep, only to be awakened by my own pool of sweat.
let's see what else. as usual (for the crew team), we stopped by some shitty fast food store for each meal. last night it was "steak and shake" (where i was so sick i could barely swallow the orange juice i ordered), this morn twas denny's. guess where the denny's was though! the town was called texarkana...cuz it's on the border! (that was the highlight of my day so far)

i'm going to go finish watching "talk to her" now..

ogm.

Sun, 13 Mar 2005 23:43:36 GMT

after reading my sister's x, i have decided she is the coolest sister ever. besides suea.
lipless monstahs for life.

holla back.

Wed, 02 Feb 2005 20:04:05 GMT

all for milej. o kilometers, why do thee ask me to do such things?

anyway, i'm at the cobb cafe grooving to new order. we really need to have a super mega 80s strobe-light-that-makes-diamonds-shine-like-water-and-makes-you-want-to-dance-under-a-white-scarf party.

miles and dave (or any other uofc kid that is reading this): sign up for DM!

<>In The Reef</>, Edith Wharton writes,

"Her questions testified to a wholesome and comprehensive human curiosity, and her comments showed, like her face and her whole attitude, an odd mingling of precocious wisdom and disarming ignorance. When she talked to him about ‘life’ – the word was often on her lips – she seemed to him like a child playing with a tiger’s cub; and he said to himself that some day the child would grow up – and so would the tiger (51)."

Oddly, it reminds me of myself.

So today I went to my little sister's concert at her elementary school. The kids put me in a good mood after sniffing away the entire morning from being sick. Children are so innocent! I remember when my other sister, now 13, was in kindergarten, she fell off the stage -- it was more like a step she was on -- from so rigorously waving at my dad (who was also so proudly grinning and waving at my sister). I was so embarassed then, but those were the good times...when my dad was still with us to go to the annual Christmas concerts our school put on. Also, those were the days when my sisters and I attended a private Christian school, where we were allowed to sing about Christmas, and not have to worry about being PC. Have I ever told you I've teared up watching McDonald's commercials? Yea, well, it was hard to keep my eyes from watering when they began to sing about "who they'd like to see at Christmas." These 8, 9 year olds had drawn faces of sisters, brothers, parents, grandparents, and raised the pictures up while they sang. I know among them are children whose parents died on September 11, whose brothers are in Iraq, whose parents have passed away to cancer. How could you not tear up? (Esp. when you're pms-ing)

On second thought, though, I know someday I'm going to look back on this winter and reminisce...

Fri, 17 Dec 2004 23:57:11 GMT

the JCC rocks my socks (Jewish Community Center). where else can I go erg on a wood/water machine alongside wrinkly blotchy orange old women? i watched 2 movies back to back today (this has never happened before) and my brain's fried. but it was so worth it: I mean, come on, how can you resist Bring It On, esp. if you haven't seen it? ("this is not a democracy; it's a cheerocracy!" "no, i think you're a cheertator, so stop it!")

and maria fed me really good coffee(!) and really good loose chinese tea. yummmmmm

me: "i feel like i'm floating after watching straight tv for five hours!"
mer: "you sure? cuz you're on the ground; and as opposed to what, gay tv?"

mer, after my mistaking "saul" at the JCC for "sexual" and "maybe" on the radio for "naked" and claiming dave and miles corrupters:
"okay, no more dave and miles!"

good times..

and oh yea, that guy from Bring It On? Totally Dave. if he'd sold out.

Mon, 13 Dec 2004 13:15:07 GMT

OMG I GOT INTO COVA

tis official: i have sold out to the evil livejournal empire (notice the frequency of my updations)

Mon, 13 Dec 2004 13:06:48 GMT

back from my 3 months' disappearance to the windy city, I'll be in my snug home for the next three weeks (only at night, for during the day, I'll be running around the city like a madd rabbit). so do pick up that phone and dial the magic number.

documenting the event (without a camera)

Tue, 07 Dec 2004 11:42:32 GMT

I am very uncomfortable right now. It is 5:38am, Tuesday, December 7, 2004. Second day of finals week.

I have just come inside from biking in the rain (Shoreland to the Reg), and as I enter the library, what do I see? PEOPLE STUDYING. PLEASE, CAN YOU GET A LIFE AND ALLOW THE CURVE TO BE SLIGHTLY BETTER FOR ME?!? I don't know what is wrong with these people. I mean, come on, getting up at 5:10 to bike to campus with dave (doing a radio show) and going running as soon as the gym opens at 6 isn't as weird, right? And I promise you, once I get to the gym, there will be people studying. In the gym. On the bike. On the treadmill.

freaks.

Sun, 28 Nov 2004 20:32:56 GMT

too many islove's.
we need some iswoah's.

mountain berry candles a-burning, jackson 5 a-singing, weather a-raining, life couldn't get much better than this butta.

speaking of which (butta), im not quite sure if i had a butta-ball turkey, but i did have a turkey. and pie. lots of pie.

twas quite relaxing, actually. it had snowed wednesday night, and i went for a walk by the lakeshore early in the morning. muy bonita.

afterwards, dinner at dave's with his crazy ~~sexy~~ cool parents and bro at a chi-town suburb (freakishly like maplewood, reminding me of home along with garden state that i watched that day).

black friday: thai food and salvation army salvation shopping--mustard yellow pumps, mint green earrings, lovely grey coat, brown polka dot silk shirt..

in all, an excellent weekend, especially made so by mah homeslice in let's floss-the-moor <--wow that's really bad

see you in twelve blessed days, everyone.
