11 Things I'm Currently Digging (not that you care, but hey, humor me)

1. Fiona Apple - Seriously, take the Hilarys, the Ashlees and the Britneys of the world, lock them up in a closet and throw away the key. I've been rocking out to Apple's new CD Extraordinary Machine and her sophomore album When the Pawn Hits.. Nice and angsty, perfect for me. I've included a track for your enjoyment
   
2. Politics/Current Events- Though I may not understand it all the time (please dont get me started on the CIA leak probe), it's interesting to read about what's going on in the world. Whenever I get bored at work, I just read this crap. So it's kinda like I have no choice but to learn, but whatev.
   
3. Boobie Boys - My 3 1/2 boobie boys are the best a girl could ask for. They help me probe into the mysterious world of "Why are boys so friggin stupid." When I get more definitive answers, I'll be sure to enlighten my audience.
   
4. the Bible - word. Caedmons Call quote- "I can walk away or face the emptiest day." When I don't read the Bible, it feels like the emptiest day. One day at lunch I got bored and memorized Psalm 23. It's awesome. Currently been feeling Gal 1:10 "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."
   
5. Ali G - Yo check it. Hahahaa, I would get HBO just to see Da Ali G show. He is frickin hilarious. I watched a clip over and over again this weekend. Watch his stuff, his Borat personality is fuuuunnyy!!! Wouldnt it be cool if he just followed me around during the day and made me laugh on cue? You might have seen his TNT NBA spots: "This room got air in it, how come it ain't bouncin'?"
   
6. Dreamweaver 8 - Backgound FTP, need I see more?
   
7. SG - My small group is wonderful! I love each and every one of them. They make my Fridays.
   
8. Hitchcock - TCM has commercial free movies! I never knew. Tonight I saw Vertigo, wasn't my favorite, but quality quality quality. But if you have a chance be sure to check out Rear Window, Spellbound, Notorious or The Lady Vanishes.
   
9. Dancing - In the privacy of my own house, with friends, with coworkers, it's all fun! and please, if you even suggest ASA mixer, I might have to pop you in the eyes
   
10. Weights - Don't worry, it's not RUNNING. But I miss my baby muscle that popped senior year. I like the burning sensation the morning after too. What can I say, I'm a masochist. Though I hate running, I really don't wanna die at like age 35 from clogged arteries, so if I must, I must. Tired of Anna outrunning me.
    
11. Co-Workers - Be jealous because my coworkers are awesome! I love hanging out with them outside of work, laughing with them during work and not getting anything done. And Mark is my new mall buddy. He spends, I watch and feel good about the fact I'm saving. White people are cool, I think I love white people. Now where is my Clarkeybabie...

i didnt say it

-

someone sent this to me and i thought it was very beautiful

rejection has taught me humility
solitude has taught me peace
pain has taught me contentment
weakness has taught me perseverance
brokeness has taught me love
despair has taught me hope
and this storm will teach me faith

oooh yeeaaah! ok bye

funny how the older we get the wiser we think we are. when in reality i dont think we are any wiser than we were when we first started off. thats what i think about older asian parents. i think they think they are the wisest things on earth. sometimes they are wise... but most of the time theyre so chained down to tradition and what should be done.. the right path that should be taken that their words are anything but wise.

lemme give you an example. when i was a freshman i found out this girl i kinda knew was engaged. she was my age and this was her first boyfriend and they hadnt even been dating for a year. immediately i took the stance that my parents would- theyre not going to last. they'll be divorced within five years. now i am ashamed to even have thought that. what right do i have to think about when people will get divorced or anything like that. i've actually become decent friends with them and i see how much they love each other. how theyre not poor and starving, but live in a nice place, have PLENTY of food to eat and defintiely have enough money to live rather comfortably. it was a leap of faith that they took and God never let them down. i see it in the way they interact with one another, serve one another... they'll last for 500 more years.

everyone always spouts out about taking the road less traveled. hardly any of us do. we all go to college, God forbid you drop out and do something you ACTUALLY like. we all get married at the correct marrying age and we get a job we hate, but hey it pays the bills.

sometimes i think faith and religion takes the back seat to tradition and culture. people who go to church, read the verses about loving your neighbor and not judging others, come home and forbid their daughters and sons to marry outside the chinese/korean/viet/taiwanese/thai race. and it rubs off on us. where we can actually say- no i would NEVER consider marrying or even dating a non korean. when asked what was more important to a guy- her being taiwanese or christian he said taiwanese, because "she can always become a christian later." what in the world??

i hope that when i become an adult, have children that i will not cling to my old ways. i know that's so hard, that our parents dont mean to judge, to condemn, to lecture.. but it's the way they were brought up.. it's the way we are being brought up. i want to be open to new things, things that wouldnt make sense to a 40 year old woman, and step outside of my view, and put on someone else glasses for a change. because there is no formula to life, there is no one path everyone must walk down.

live your life differently. it's ok if you fall in love with someone who wont be able to buy you a bwm or 30 pair of jimmy choos. the important thing is he/she loves you and if God wants you with him/her then that's all you need to make it.

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Romans 8:31-32

It was my life and it was fun;
Another season of my life is done.
Another race I'm glad I got to run.
Another chapter in my life, its over.
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again.
Time's rushin' by like the wind.
Never be as young as I was then.
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again.

Well, its my life and its sure fun.
Another season of my life's begun.
Another race I'm glad I get to run.
Another chapter of my life I'm writin'.
No, I'm never gonna feel like this again.
Time's rushin' by me like the wind.
Got to grab each moment that I can,
'Cause I'm never gonna feel like this again.
