Some people come into our lives and quickly go.. Some people become friends and stay awhile...leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts...and we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend :)
at my apt, my heater heats up the floor, its weird but iam getting use to it. the heater slows evaporate slowly though, so really youre walking around with toasty feet while your body is cold. then it gets soo stuffy in any rooms that you have to crack a window open, just to breathe a little.
its soo cold here, but theres no snow yet.
its very scenic, with the leaves turning to red, orange, yellow or brown.
im just scared to go out now, coz i dont want to get cold.
but if i stay inside my apt, ive got nothing to do and its too stuffy. so, its a lose-lose situation.
so im bored right now, ive got only one class today after lunch. so bored, that im doing that movie list in facebook-- hmm what was the last 5 movies i watched, how the heck i should know? i dont remember that far back. man, i have low memory capacity.

There are alot of things that we take for granted in our life and i hope God can forgive me for not thanking him everyday and always seems to focus most of our times of negative sides of life. i was inspired from reading kerygma, so i put up a list on why im so blessed and why im thankful everyday.
1. God- for being there always through everything and just loving me for who i am unconditionally.
2.Family- i always knew that family is important, but now i experienced how essential they are in my life--- i think about how i neglected them for the past years and it just saddens me that ive done that. I think God put us in that situation to make us learn from our mistakes and appreciate whats right in front of us. (ma, pa, kuma ness, donn, dale, & mae- i love my family).
3.friends- i only have a few people that i consider as my friends, and theyre the people that ive known for a very long time, i can count on them. you know who you are :) love you guys.
4. my health- i was seriously freaking out when the doctor told me i have pneumonia. in korea. i was definitely contemplating on just packing my bag (right there and then-even if im sick as a dog) to go home. my right chest still hurts when i cough and i still feel pressure on that side, especially when i lay down flat..but im thankful that im able and strong enough to enjoy my days.
5. the shelter, food, clothings..and the many infinite things that God gave me for the last 25 years of my life...HE always provided me only if its good for me.
6. my job - even if this job gives me grief soo many times, the children do give me inspiration to continue on.
7.the many many opportunities- and able to dream the many possibilities that God provides for me and my family. for the opportunity to live and work in korea and visit many places. many opportunity to travel around with my family and friends. the opportunity to fall in love and heart ache--to learn from it.
8.the experiences- the many mistakes, the past relationships, people i lost, people i gained as friends, past jobs, broken hearted, the struggles to get better- physically, mentally and emotionally, experiences that made me who iam today...etc etc.
the list is longer.. but these are the essentials. thank you so much Lord for everything.
*been listening to alot of old songs lately, so heres the latest: Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt "all my life"
Hey, I've looked all my life for you.
And I never really knew how to love
I just hope somehow I'd see
I ask for a little help from above
Send an angel down to me

its been a month, that ive been sick in korea. the whole month of october.
so pretty much suckage for the most part. but there are angels around, i believe.
my family, even if theyre thousands and thousands miles away, kept me sane with everything. prayers and lots of water and oranges and lemons do help. occasionally, there are people that surprise you, with new friends (maria) who visits and text messages me everyday, if im still alive.
its pretty scary--everyday. you dont really know who you count on. sam is an hour train ride. my co teacher, doesnt really care as long as youre healthy, would really replace you to skype class than your unhealthy self. hospitals and the town it self cant speak english, even if theyre life depends on it. yes, there are setbacks and scary, but i really do enjoy being here. but what ive learned is that ive appreciated alot more things because of what ive left behind. ive never realize that we are soo blessed with the abundant opportunities, things, people, our health, etc etc and we just take it for granted.
ive been soo caught up with the whole post-break up thing that all i really cared was how depress i was and just wallowing with my self pity, that ive just completely shut myself with everything around me. i just wanted to shake me and say OPEN YOUR EYES! things will change. things will start to look up i know it will.
day1: i have mild viral pneumonia. contact isolation precautions. no school for 7 days.
what am suppose to do in 7 days?
will be having an everwood marathon.
