what to type...
hm.
i rested last week =] yay
started the second book of The d'Artagnan Romances by Alexandre Dumas on Monday and finished it on Wednesday, started another book that evening and finished it on Friday. did you know that The Three Musketeers is only the first book of a series (called The d'Artagnan Romances)? ha. it's followed by Twenty Years After and ends with The Vicomte of Bragelone...TOO BAD i didn't know that! -_-;;. i thought that the third book of the series was The Man in the Iron Mask, but i found out that that's only the last part of the third book. The Man in the Iron Mask was a good 700+ pages and extremely disappointing, so i have absolutely no intention of going back and reading what i unintentionally skipped. sigh. oh well.
I bought Les Miserables today and am looking forward to starting it~~yayy woohoo
anyway, i wanted to type about other things but this is taking way too long and i'm exhausted, even though i don't really have reason to be exhausted. i really think that all the sleep depravation and what not is finally catching up to me. i think i'm gonna get massively owned in this next week.
ok. the end. g'nite.

because i feel like posting
I don't really have anything I want to say here. I just felt compelled to post...perhaps to compensate for my inactivity on blogger for the past couple of weeks? Whatever the case, here I am...
...and now what?
Hmmmm......

...and now what?
Hmmmm......

Today is just one of those days...
Though today is Easter and as Pastor Peter Kim mentioned, it is undeniably the most important day in all of history, it's just one of those days...
I'm not making light of the gospel at all--I'm not making light of the cross at all.
Today is just one of those days that I'm tired to the point of letting it affect the way I interact with people. Today is one of those days that I regret having said some things I said, having used a certain tone of voice I used, having done some things that I wish I hadn't done. Today is one of those I wish I could handle it when people look at me like I'm stupid. Today is one of those days I wish I was confident yet humble enough to let such a thing pass me by with little to no internal repercussions.
Thank God for Jesus...haha. Thank God that my salvation isn't contingent upon what I do or say, and that it is what Christ has done for me and in place of me.
Anyway, I'm using Kevin Yoon's laptop to update so I should get off now.
Hopefully I'll get around to getting my laptop fixed sooner than later.

awake because I'm itchy =[
drives me nuts. I forgot to take allergy meds for two days and now I'm getting owned. Hives on my lower back, sides, on the back of my legs, neck, upper back, my shoulder and even my face! I just took a pill but it's not fast-acting so I don't know if it'll actually help.
Sigh.
Well. Today is Monday of Passion Week. Today in history, Jesus cursed the fig tree and cleansed the temple.
The cleansing of the temple is covered in Matthew 21:12-13. One of the verse references i've come across is Jeremiah 7:11, and I quote , "Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the LORD."
This brings to mind two things: firstly, how we should strive to preserve the purity of the church, and secondly, Garnet's post on being an atheist at heart. You can find that entry on her xanga at xanga.com/denoumente.
There are a bunch of other things that come to mind, other convictions to consider. And the root of such thoughts can be attributed to God's grace in by life. I see that it's by His grace that my allergies bothered me to the point of waking me up, consequently leading me to consider the events of this Monday. God's grace because in all honesty, I probably would not have taken the time to even flip through my Bible today, regardless of the day or week we're observing.
I've much to consider...
And my hives have calmed down a bit. Another evidence of God's grace =].
I think it's high time that I pray a bit before I head back to sleep.
On a completely unrelated note, my laptop is no longer functional at this point. I've come to appreciate my iPod much on these last couple of days...
That is all for now. My apologies for any typos--typing with an iPod is slightly more difficult than normal typing.

Pictures, as promised
I created a SmugMug account--just a trial 14 day one. I've uploaded all of my Disneyland and Nor Cal pictures there.
Here's the link for the Disneyland album:
Click here for Disneyland pictures!
Here's the link for the Nor Cal album:
Click here for Nor Cal pictures!
That is all. Please do check them out (and comment!)~ I would love to post them here but it's just a little bit too time consuming.
Enjoy!
::edit:: These are definitely not the only pictures I have from spring break. I'll edit and upload and then post here as I do so. =]

Ultimate
That's the one word I'd use to describe the last few days of my last spring break--
Ultimate.
Unbelievable fun getting
Lost in
The city,
I appreciate.
Making memories with
Awesome friends was
Truly
Epic.
Ha...
I'm lame...but that's nothing new. =P
Winter quarter ended for me on Monday, March 16th, and I must say that I definitely milked it. By the time Monday rolled around, I'd pulled seven all nighters in the month of March alone, so I spent the bulk of my time that day catching up on sleep...and then Tuesday I started going out and depriving myself of sleep yet again.
Tuesday I had lunch with Rachel Tsao and the dinner with Steve Kim, two people I hadn't seen or really talked to in a long while. I had lunch at that Greek place in Diamond Jamboree--I'd been wanting to try it for a while. Then dinner was at Cafe Hiro in Cypress...Japanese fusion stuff? Pretty good~and very cute. =] Afterward I spent a good 4.5 hours baking cookies and delivering them to those unfortunate souls who still had to study for finals...
Wednesday I went to the student health center to get some lab work done. Lab work = blood work--my arm is still bruised. =[ The person taking my blood didn't even have a hard time or anything--he just stuck the needle in my arm and took my blood, but I still got bruised up. Afterward I had lunch with April Beltran @ Wasa and dinner with Sue Kim in K-town...AYCE Korean BBQ =]. It's always nice meeting up with April, and it was awesome seeing Sue because I hadn't seen her in at least over a year...and there's just something about meeting up with old friends that's just...awesome. =]
Thursday...that's when my break started getting kind of crazy. The original plan was to meet up with Garnet in the afternoon and then chill until CK joined us at around seven when we would head down for our quarterly ATW San Diego run, but...things didn't really happen according to plan. I did meet up with Garnet, and we ended up going to The Lab to stop by the Buffalo Exchange and eat at Gypsy Den, then dropped by American Apparel...long story short, CK met up with us at around nine thirty (if I'm remembering correctly) and a phone call to Eddie Kang to ask for directions to Super Sergio's turned into a 12:30am departure from Irvine to San Diego with kG, seeK, Richard Kwak, Eddie Kang, and Mark Barlis. More specifically, we dropped by El Coti's and then visited a very foggy Mount Soledad. We got back home at around 5:45am...ha. I slept at around six, then woke up to Sharon Lee's phone call at around noon on
Friday. Esther Lee and Sharon Lee were already over and waiting for me...we'd made plans (along with CK) to go to Zenko's in Mission Viejo to get some AYCE sushi. So...CK came over as I was getting ready, and we headed out to eat at Zenko's where the waitress questioned us twice because of the massive amount of food we ordered. We had something like four or five servings of calamari and mussels, six rolls and sixty pieces of sushi...yeap. Afterward we headed over to Yogurtland for some dessert...haha fatties f'sho. For dinner I met up with Jason Choi and Michelle Lee and we went to Mr. Pizza in LA and visited John Lee at work afterward...
Saturday I met up with Sara Kim and Jason Choi for lunch at Koba Tofu Grill in Amerige Heights...Michelle joined us later and we all went to Cafe Veronese in downtown Fullerton.
Sunday I went to church as usual, then I met up with John, Jason and Michelle for dinner for some AYCE Korean BBQ at Cham Soot Gohl in Garden Grove. We went to Lindbrook on Brookhurst for some bowling fun and to digest after dinner...haha.
Monday was the only day I stayed at home.
Tuesday I went to Disneyland with Jason and Michelle.
Wednesday I drove up North with John, Jason and Michelle...Top Dog for dinner with Richard Shin, visited the double helix and whale at Tilden(?). Michelle and I slept at Greenhouse and John and Jason stayed with Richard.
Thursday the guys came to pick us up at about 10:30am and we drove out to the city and found public parking at a Safeway. Took the CalTrain, then got lost and wandered around for a little bit. We found our way back on the CalTrain to Union Square and rode the cable car over to Fisherman's Wharf. We had some clam chowder, headed to the antique arcade place, walked to Pier 39 and rode the cable car back to Union Square where we met my brother. Had dinner at Palomino, then went to Treasure Island and took some photos there...dropped my brother off, then headed back to Berkeley where we went to get some ice cream at McDonald's.
Friday we had breakfast at La Note with the guys at 8:30am, then drove back to Pier 39 and parked in a lot there. We walked over to a bicycle rental shop and rented four bikes, and biked on the Golden Gate Bridge to Saulsalito. We had lunch there before taking the ferry back to Pier 41. Biked to Ghiradelli Square and had some Dreyer's ice cream (haha) covered with Ghiradelli chocolate, then biked back to the rental store to return the bikes. Dropped by Berkeley again to pick up a few things I'd left at Greenhouse, then dropped by Top Dog one last time before finally heading down at 7:30pm. We looked up a Target with Michelle's cell phone and bought a few games there...we played a slightly modified version of Catchphrase for several hours...haha. I got back home at about 3:30am and slept by 4:00am.
Today I woke up at 8:00am to find that my mom had spent the night doing all my laundry, cleaning my car, organizing my things, and...not sleeping. I was extremely grateful...I am so undeserving of such treatment!! I went to missions training a little late--walked in at about 9:10am. Had lunch with the team, then came home and started typing this...and then I took a break and had some Cefiore frozen yogurt with Chuck and his cousin Jason...and now I'm back at my apartment finishing up this entry.
Tomorrow will be church again, and I don't know what else will happen...maybe I'll just stay home and do nothing. =]
I'll post another entry (hopefully tonight) with some photos--I only took about 875 photos over the course of my spring break. ha...ha...-___-;; I guess it'll take me a while to pick out my favorites.
=] Hope those of you who were on break are pleased with the way you spent it, and that those of you who weren't...are satisfied with what you've done with your lives these past couple of weeks.
Farewell......for now. ^^
