"We make a living by what we get,

               but we make a life by what we give."  Winston Churchill

i woke up pretty late today...cleaned up my apartment a little...packed up a box of books to send to uganda...went to starbucks with james and young, did a teensy weensy bit of studying. i was reading neurology stuff, about how neurologists have to act as investigators, like there's a mystery and you have to solve it - the patient has a secret and you have to find out what it is through the little clues that they give you - only in this case, the result could be either the recovery or failure if you don't figure out the mystery/disease and how to solve it. 

so i saw phil kang today and i mentioned how michelle min told me that he said he thought i was a lot more outgoing down south in LA as opposed to up here. he just learned that me and michelle were pretty good friends too. haha...i remember michelle when i first met her. i was 12 years old, the summer of my 7th grade/8th grade ...i went on a church retreat and met her. i thought she was sooooo funny!!! the thing is, it was a new church so i brought along my close friend sarah lee...we hung out the entire retreat of course cause both of us were new to the church. we both got to know michelle and we really liked her. BUT!! michelle hated us. haha! she told us a few years later...she thought me and sarah were really obnoxious so she didn't like us. isn't that so funny? dude...i love them. haha. and now michelle's down south...getting ready for nursing school...sarah's at johns hopkins grad school...she's almost done though...it's so weird to think that me and sarah met michelle TEN YEARS AGO. that's so sick. ten years have zoomed by. we all went through lots of crushes and cliques and LOTS of videos...=)...thank you Lord for my friends....thank you...

do you ever have 'ugly' days? i know i've talked to a lot of you girls out there...y'all know what i'm talking about, right? when you just wake up and you look in the mirror and you're like "EW."...anyways...

how cute! =) my roomate's getting ready to go to this work dinner thing with my neighbor...she looks pretty =) 

so we finished watching ga-ul-dong-hwa that one night...it makes me wonder if i would want to love like joon-suh and eun-suh but end up loosing the one i love. i mean, i would rather not feel that kind of loss, but then again, i would want to feel that kind of love. how sad. to have to live the rest of your life knowing that the one person you loved...and i mean REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVED...was dead. sigh... but i suppose to have felt that love and to have experienced it may be worth the wrenching heartache that you'd live with if they were to die. it's a scary thought. imagine - you find your soul-mate. you're engaged to be married. you're ready to live the rest of your life with this person. all you want to do is stay beside this person for the rest of your life. and then like on the way to the wedding he or she dies. AHH! that's so sad. but all in His plan i suppose...it's all in His hands...

i need thee, oh i need thee. every hour i need thee. oh bless me now my Saviour, i come to thee. (i've just been singing this song these days...)
