feeling a little silly ;)
hey everyone!
i found some time to record another song! i decided to go the not-so-holy route and did a fun, silly song. haha. i think many of you are going to cringe. =) but whatevs... this is my blog! i'll do what i want!
i also found a better place to record. it turns out my stairwell in my apt building has a great echo effect, so i think you'll have an easier time hearing me this time. yay!
ps. sorry for the mess-up in verse 2. *blush* =)
pps. the flowers in the video are the cherry blossoms that bloom every spring on the BC campus. sighh... i miss those beautiful trees!
enjoy! (again, it's not the best that i can do, but it was fun!)

stepping out from behind the curtain
during my staycation, i promised myself that i would work on some secret projects. one of the secret projects included trying to work on my singing again.
sadly, my voice has atrophied a LOT from lack of use, so i decided that i needed to start working it out again. and the only way i can do this is to be more public with my singing. so i recorded. dun dun dun!! can u believe it?? =O
it's not my best stuff. i'm quite, quite rusty. but it's a start. please don't be too harsh on me!! sorry this is such a poor production. i don't have a mac, so this is the best way i can record, and i have no mic either. so the volume is soft bc i just had to sing AT my laptop. hahaha. plus, i can't delete parts, so the cough in the beginning, well, you're just gonna have to listen to that too. haha!
enjoy! i promise to do more. =) (unless you guys are like, oh gosh please no.)
ps. song is "lead me to the cross" the brooke fraser version. =)

from the inside out
last saturday, julia and i went to get a massage from a deal we got from lifebooker. as we approached the building, we both were happily surprised by what we saw. in front of us was a pretty majestic looking building. as we walked through the heavy glass doors, we were surrounded by white marble, and everything just looked super fancy. we even had to go through some pretty high-security measures just to get to the elevator. i found myself thinking, man, there must be some pretty important ppl here bc it's so fancy here, and not just any schlub off the street can get through.
however, when we got to the floor of the doctor's office, we quickly discovered that it was actually not nearly as nice up here as it was down on the lobby floor. as i stared at the wall during my massage, all i could see were old doorknobs, old moldings, thick varnished paint, and faint patches of wood. it was weird to think that they would spend so much money making their lobby so beautiful, and not even do half as good of a job on the rooms themselves.
it made me wonder - do we do this with ourselves? do we go above and beyond to make our outside appearances amazingly beautiful in order to deceive the watching world that we are as put together and gleaming as we seem? are most of us also shells of a person, who in actuality is just a barely renovated, shabby room? once we see the inside, do we want a refund?
it was a terrible thought to think, but sadly, quite possibly true for so many of us.
as part of our lifebooker deal, we also received a chiropractic evaluation. my doctor told me that the cause of all the pains, aches, and allergies of my life were due to my spine not being straight - that some of my spine had become unaligned. once everything was adjusted and re-aligned, all the aches that i felt would disappear, and i'd live a healthy, happy life.
as i sat there and listened to him tell me the importance of re-aligning my spine, it made me wonder - what else in my life has strayed away from my "straight spine"? at the retreat, pastor carl talked about how God's song is beautiful, but when we notice that our songs are off-key, or off-rhythm, it means that we're not in sync with God's song, so we have to get back in. i feel like, the chiropractic theory is very similar to our spiritual walks. if we're not aligned with God's will for our lives, then we will certainly experience aches, troubles, and pain in our lives. but when we're aligned with God, we will stay straight on the right path. i thought about all the times that i tried to do things MY way bc of MY desires and MY wishes. that always got me into trouble. it was only when i readjusted myself to remember that this life is not my own, and turned back to the path i had left, that's when things would feel less strenuous, less painful.
but you know, through both moments of revelation, i saw that outside appearances are so deceiving. on the outside, we look like healthy people. but did you guys know that sometimes i have trouble sleeping at night bc my back hurts? or did you guys know that i am so allergic to insect bites that my entire limb will swell up and i need to ice-pack myself all night? no one knows this bc it's all on the inside. just like the building's exterior and lobby, everything looked beautiful and i had high expectations. i would never have guessed that it would be so dilapidated inside. what's the point of having such an awesome outside when you only look at it for a couple of seconds? it's what's on the inside that you have to live with for a lifetime.
i don't want to be a disappointment to whoever looks at my inside. i want to be as shiny and new and beautiful inside and out to all who see me. no shell - just . . . me.

confusion with being politically correct
so... a weird revelation happened to me last week.
i was eating dinner with julia yang, chris, and julia lee. chris shared how he realized that bc julia is canadian, she is technically a korean-canadian, while the rest of us are korean-americans.
initially, we were all like, "uhh... duh... chris." but u know, the more i thought about it, the more i realized that it felt strange to say that. KOREAN-CANADIAN. aren't we all sooooo used to hearing the words ___-american? asian-american. chinese-american. etc, etc. it was strange!
BC had a korean student association called ksa. but, my sister's college had one called korean-american student association - kasa. how strange i would have found it if it were called kcsa! it just doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily!
here's the mind-blowing clincher. we started putting all kinds of nationalities with -canadian. and then all of a sudden - i realized - what do canadian ppl call black ppl? here in america - it's kind of not PC to call someone black, so you call them african-american. but what about in canada?! do we call them african-canadians? for some reason - that made no sense to me. i feel like african-american is a word we made up to stop using the word black didn't we??
and when u think about it internationally - what do you call them in other countries?? african-irish? african-australian? the possibilities are endless!
the whole conversation made me realize how americanized i am. i forget that other countries don't revolve around the US. but seriously - what do you call african americans in other countries???
what a crazy conversation!! chris kept saying how much he loves the US. haha. but u know, i think canada is starting to grow on me. hahaha! and i actually like their national anthem. it's rather cute. =)

the breakup
it has been a little over a month since we broke up.
"how are you doing?"
"are you okay?"
"oh my gosh, i didn't know. i'm so sorry."
*sympathetic look*
these are things i've heard and seen for a little over a month now.
the answer to all of these questions and looks - i'm doing better.
to be honest, it was pretty terrible at first. i was a wreck. i couldn't be alone. thank goodness for the busy-ness that is new york. distraction is the antidote to sadness.
in the beginning, i kept finding myself reading the blog of a woman who was grieving the sudden death of her husband. you might think to yourself, "how dare mia compare her grief to that a widow?" but you know, we're more similar than you think. this woman, julia, lost her husband. and i lost him - the one who i thought was going to be my husband. i lost the man who i had been building a life with for nearly 3 years. he and i felt every bit like a married couple - at least to me. and i lost him. julia felt the heaviness of her husband's absence. and i felt his absence everywhere in my life. she and i both lost our dreams. with our break up, i lost all the things that i had been dreaming of - the beautiful wedding, the happily ever after marriage, the cute children we could've had, the lifetime of memories and laughter. but most of all - i lost my best friend, someone i loved with all of my heart. i lost all of that. for a little while, i felt like this julia woman was one of the few people who really knew how i felt. and so i kept reading her blog, even though every entry tugged at my heart's most vulnerable places and left me sitting in front of my screen weeping silently for her and for myself. we're more similar than you think.
i can't believe that already 5 weeks have gone by. an entire month. i find it so strange that life keeps on moving - that when you've fallen over, life doesn't pause to wait until you've gotten back up and have caught your breath. but it keeps going, keeps passing by and says, "you better hurry up bc you're losing precious seconds, minutes, hours, days." and yet, 5 weeks and 2 days have gone. 5 weeks and 2 days of a life without him in comparison to 2 years, 8 months and 3 days of a life with him. it's such a sudden change. too sudden if you ask me.
do you ever wonder why it's called a breakup? sure, it's bc what was once one is now broken into two again. but why not call it a breakdown? praise team "breaks down" the equipment. but why do couples "break up"? my theory is that if you call it a "breakdown," it's too depressing. when you break something down, you are tearing it apart until it is no longer functional. so if a couple is no longer together, and both people are so broken that they're no longer functional - then that is a terrible thing to anticipate. maybe we call it a breakUP so that when a couple is no longer together, both people can somehow rise UP and become whole again. there's hope when you look up. but there's nothing but despair when you look down.
i've had a lot of time to think about all that has happened. no matter how mutual a breakup is, it's still one of the saddest and hardest things to do in life. it is the end of something significant. and for me - one who doesn't like change - the one who loves love - well... it's just so sad. there's no other word for it... sad.
i believe that God has a good and perfect plan. and i believe that there is always hope. God has been taking me on a crazy journey - just the 2 of us. sometimes i'm super excited bc i know that wherever God takes me, it's going to be good, bc He loves me so much. sometimes i'm so reluctant to follow bc the path just looks too bleak. for a little while, i was too weak from sadness to move and God had to carry me for me. but either way - we're on this journey - and i can't wait to see where He takes me.
i'm beginning to see a light at the end of this tunnel.
thank God.
hope is slowly seeping back into my heart.
praise the Lord.
some of you might be wondering why i even wrote this entry. why be so public with such a personal and intimate event? i've always been one to wear my heart on my sleeve. these are things that i've wanted to say, but i felt like i couldn't. i didn't want to bum people out, or i wanted to put up a brave front. but truly - this is who i am, this is who i've been, and this is me fumbling to climb out of this mess. but more than that - i'm hoping that months down the line, i will be able to re-read this entry and be able to see how much i've grown - how much God has led me through it. and that i will never forget how this event has shaped who i am - that it will give me hope to keep moving on. julia (the dear audrey blog woman) wrote an entry once about why she writes her blog as well. and the idea word-keeping, as she describes - resonates a lot with me too. read it. and maybe you'll get how i feel too.
i wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been helping me through this. thank you for your comfort. thank you for your prayers. thank you for encouragement and love. thank you for believing in me, even when i refuted you every inch of the way.
"be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12
i'm going to be okay. i'm going to be more than okay.
"how are you doing?"
"are you okay?"
"oh my gosh, i didn't know. i'm so sorry."

Christmas Wish List
hi blog world!
it's been a while since i've last written. a ton has happened in the past few months. but for now, i'm going to focus on the fact that christmas is just weeks away!
life has been particularly tough recently, and so i've decided to treat myself to my own christmas presents.
but for those of you out there, who so desire to get me a present, feel free to see what i want!
i've made a quick list of the top 10 things i've been really wanting this christmas. sigh... which one of these things should i get for myself? all of them? haha...
1. The Chronicles of Narnia set
Ideally, i'd like to get this set before the next movie comes out so i can read it, then watch it. but this may not happen. =\
2. Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk
this book looks so cute to me. i think this is a very mia-style book, no?
3. The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
this book looks super interesting to me, but i generally don't buy hardcover books bc i think they're too expensive. but if someone wants to buy it for me, i'd be very happy.
4. jigsaw puzzles!
i've been in the mood to do lots of puzzles these days. so any cute puzzles or intricate puzzles are welcome!
5. Marc Fisher Peep Toe Pumps
omgosh, the second i tried on these shoes, i fell in love. i really love them, but i don't know if i'll ever have an occasion to wear them to, especially bc i'm not really a nude-shoe kind of girl. i usually just get black shoes. but dang... these are such gorgeous shoes. i want to die.
6. a new watch
my current watch is doing pretty badly. it won't keep time very well, and stops/slows down all the time. i really need a new watch. i've stopped wearing a watch now for a few days, and i constantly feel like my wrist is naked and that i'm missing something. just remember - if you're going to get me a watch - i'd prefer if it was kind of like a bangle bracelet bc i can't have something rubbing up against my skin all the time bc of my eczema.
7. a new study bible
i need a new study bible bc i had to throw away my old study bible bc of the fleas. (btw, u guys have no idea how hard it is to physically throw away a bible. it felt really blasphemous to do it, and i almost kept my bible even tho i feared there were flea eggs all over it. in the end, i threw it away knowing that i could always buy another bible. but i was sad bc my sister had given it to me when i first went away to college, and it had a lot of sentimental worth to me. sad!)
anyway... i can't decide which one i should get... i hear good things about this ESV one... but i'm wondering if it's too academic. i think the F (myers briggs) in me would want something more emotion-inducing. any suggestions?
8. The Children's Storybook Bible
julia yang had showed us this awesome children's bible to us at sg, and it was so beautiful, and the stories were really well-written. tim keller highly recommends it to all christians, seminarians, everyone! i really wanna read this, and also read it to my kids.
9. tory burch flats
i've been wanting these shoes for over a year now. they never go on sale. i hate you tory burch! (nono! i take it back, i love u!) morally, i won't let myself pay this much for a ballet flat (i have loans to pay off, u know!), but man, they're so pretty. =(
10. a smartphone
i think i'm finally ready to make the jump and get a smartphone. yes, it'll increase my stalking tendencies a lot, and i may become one of those ppl who are always rudely on their phones while out to dinner. but dang, i think i need one. i get lost a lot, and i think having a gps is very important to me. but overall, i feel kind of lame with my really old flip phone. i'm no grandma! i'm hip! i should have a hip phone to match! =)
thanks for reading my unimportant and unnecessary list of things i want for christmas. i'm probably only going to buy #7 and #8 for myself. but it's nice to be able to daydream that i have tons of money to buy everything on my list.
just out of curiosity - what's on YOUR christmas wish list? =)

thanks for reading my unimportant and unnecessary list of things i want for christmas. i'm probably only going to buy #7 and #8 for myself. but it's nice to be able to daydream that i have tons of money to buy everything on my list.
just out of curiosity - what's on YOUR christmas wish list? =)
