take one step
i hate going to things by myself. most people i know i will not eat in public alone and i just don’t really like to go places by myself. i’ll go tutor on my own and maneuver my way around this massive city on my own, but i don’t like to go to places and be by myself.
yesterday there was a Not for Sale conference at Onnuri church and I had no one to go with. actually i was...
rediscovering
a friend canceled on me today so that meant i was able to stay home all night. what a great thing to do. i’ll soon be pretty busy so i took advantage of it. i decided to open up photoshop and try to make my friend a birthday card. it’s not as cool as my old ones, but i put a lot of effort into it. i rediscovered my love for making these kind of digital cards. i don’t know what it...

Insecurities are nothing more than a wounded soul. The tragedies of the heart cause damage much like physical tragedies do. So when you see someone with a glaring insecurity, remember at some point, a very deep hurt put it there & as much as you can… love them through it. Because you know you’ve been wounded too.

shalom
I’ve decided that Shauna Niequist is my new best friend. This woman knows how to write exactly what I’m feeling and thinking. It’s so crazy. This book is like really, really, really taking care of me right now. I want to share an excerpt of one chapter called SHALOM.
To get there, I’m finding, is the hardest work and the most worthwhile fight. Shalom requires so much, so...
a yo-yo in the works
**ok, sorry its a really long post. i haven’t been this honest online for a while. i did my best to be discerning with what i wrote and avoided my usual complaining mode of writing hehe** I’ve been reading this book called “Cold Tangerines” and every time I finish a chapter, I feel a little bit more alive. Although I’m not as creative as her (Shauna Niequist) I feel...

quiet time
So far its been hard to find time to myself to just pray, read and write. today is a free day. sometimes my cousins like to just sit and watch what i do. the other day, as i was getting ready to go out, they asked to watch me put on my make up and my contacts and everything. it was pretty funny. anyway, i’ll adjust and find my time. plus, they have school in march so things will probably...
many impressions
since i take the subway and bus a lot, i have a lot of time to think. today the subway was stuck at sindorim . the seats are heated so it was SO hot. but someone told me that its good if your butt is warm so i guess its not a bad thing.
anyway, today was a good day. i hung out at home, went to see suji and then met up with an old friend. i hadn’t seen him for almost 3 years. to be honest,...

Day 3. IT IS COLD!
I didn’t sleep as much as I wanted to. I went out shopping with my cousins. I’m trying to learn how to get around this area to subway stations and to bus stops. We were walking around and it is ice cold here! I don’t have a scarf and my jacket is actually just a snowboard shell so it isn’t even that warm. I need to get a scarf. Korea has these funky leggings that are...
on my way
praise God. I’m at the airport now in Toronto awaiting my flight to Seoul. Everything went super smooth this time so I’m really thankful. I learned a lot through my crazy, hectic experience. I was able to get some other things figured out, spend time with good friends, celebrate my dad’s birthday and leave with a really calm heart.
i woke up a bit nervous and fearful, but...
one bad thing
this morning I was supposed to be on my way to Seoul, Korea. We arrived, and I didn’t have the e-ticket, so I stood in line to get things verified. When she saw my passport, she was taken aback, since it had some rips in the corner from a dog. I didn’t think it was a big deal because I had crossed the border to the USA a few times without any problems. but, after a talk with the...
2011
its the year of intimacy.
I prayed about it on the last night of 2010.
my dad, the pastor of our church, decides to challenge our church to grow in prayer and intimacy with God (psalm 27:4)
the church I will be going to in Korea has a theme of intimacy
the 2011 Canadian UBF Summer conference …. theme of intimacy with the Lord.
another friend just blogged that 2011 was going to be a...
4 days
It’s my last weekend here in Waterloo for a long time. I spent some time shopping for Korea and talking with a girl I’ve know for 2 years but never really got to know. I liked being around her and felt calm talking with her. I’m babysitting a family of 3 children and sleeping over for 2 nights. I love being around the youngest boy. He is adopted from Korea and so precious. It...
Memory
I found an old blog entry from 2009 where I wrote about my favourite things from the previous year (2008). I tried doing it for 2010 but something is really wrong with my memory. I can’t remember any of the new things I did, new food I tried and even the pictures I took. I resolve to write more publicly and/or privately so that I will remember So instead I just have these. I may fail, come...
