Today is my 22nd Birthday and usually I celebrate it with my family. However, this year feels special. On Monday and Tuesday, I went to Schlitterbahn with Junho, James, Kenny, Nancy and Anthonio for a short vacation. We had an awesome time and rode on every single ride. Luckily the weather was very nice, not too sunny, yet not very windy either. Besides the part where our van battery died and we had to replace it, everything was wonderful. I arrived home late last night and after my shower, I immediately collapsed on my bed, exhausted. This morning, Sylviana and Felona treated me to lunch and ice cream, which is very sweet of them. I enjoyed lunch, especially since I haven't seen them for so long. Then, in the afternoon, I was dead tired because I didn't get much sleep the previous 2 nights. So I look a long and restful nap. Later at night, Junho came to celebrate my Birthday with me. At first I thought he wouldn't be able to make it because he had family business to take care of. If he didn't show up, I would have been slightly disappointed, but I wouldn't be angry at him. I knew he has family business to take care of and I understand that. However, I was extremely happy when he came. I received many great gifts from my friends, blessings from my family and a joyous celebration with my boyfriend. Today is the most wonderful time of the year....

| Yesterday, I came home from work and work out, feeling terribly exhausted. Well...that was partially my fault because I ate a pretty decent breakfast at 6 AM before work and got off at 1 PM and went straight to workout. By the time I'm done, I went home, showered and started cooking. I didn't get to eat until dinner time, around 7-ish. Yeah....skipping lunch is never a good idea! Anyways, I was dead tired and went to bed by 8:30 PM and I had a dream. I have never had such a realistic dream, where I can clearly see all the details of the images before, but last night was the first...
My dream started with me in a bakery, choosing a slice of cake. I wanted to buy it before meeting up with my bf, Junho, and I knew I would make it to the meeting time because it's close by. Unfortunately, a little girl and her stressed out mother walked in. The little girl was so excited and wanted to get a cake right away, but her mother told her to wait her turn. Seeing this situation, I let the girl go first, so she wouldn't bother her mother. The little girl took her time picking the cake and by the time I got out of the shop, I was already late for the meeting.
Once I saw my bf, I hurriedly walk to him, but he looked a bit upset, probably because he was worried about me (I'm a punctual person, so it's unusual for me to be late). When I walked toward him, he started running away from me. (Well...in reality, he does do this playfully sometimes, but in the dream, he was running faster.) I started chasing him, but I was 1 meter behind him. When I stopped to catch my breath, he stopped too. I'm think, "well, if this is the game you want to play, then I'm all game." I continued chasing him and he continued running, but he finally stopped in front of a white building with a white cross on the roof. I thought, 'well two can play at this game.' I ran toward him, but took a turn behind the bush and kept running. Junho took the bait and started his pursuit. He was obviously faster and just a feet behind me, so I ran under an arc and around a tree to make it more difficult. However, I grew tired and leaned on a tree to catch my breath. Junho ran toward me, but took a turn and ran straight for the steps up a cement path. That path had collumns and a roof to shelter the head from sun/rain. I took the bait and continued my chase after him. By this point, we were both laughing like little kids, playing the game of "tag," except that noone actually gets tagged. We were having so much fun and what started as my punishment turned into an enjoyable game. Junho turned back to make sure I was still behind him, but out of nowhere a soccer ball flew out and hit his legs. He tripped and was about to fall flat on his face, but I ran forward, barely breaking his fall. He fell on his hands and knees, but besides being a bit red, he didn't have major injuries. I was also okay. We were both exhausted at this point and he collasped on his back and I feel on top of him. I kept mumbling into his chest while gasping for breath, "Oppa, to shi me (meaning be careful in Korean, hopefully I spelled it correctly)." He would then stroke my hair softly and whisper, "a ra da, kaen chan na (I know, it's okay)." We were now embracing each other in this position and reluctant to move from the comfort of each other's arms. (It was a sweet moment ^.^).
A while later, as I sat up, I remembered the cake and took it out to eat. Amazingly, it still looked as perfect as when I got it from the bakery. I fed him a bite and took a bite myself. While we're eating, I took out a sheet of paper with "IPPEE" on the heading. (I have not clue what it stands for.) I told Junho that my teacher had given me a special offer to work here and I plan to work there for the summer, but I have to keep it a secret from other students. Well...Junho was different though...anyways, after looking at the paper, he said he wanted to try to apply there as well. I thought that was a great idea and I supported him. Suddenly, someone taps him on the shoulder, and Junho quickly rolled up the paper.
He looked up and a girl with shoulder length black hair said "hi."
Junho answered a little irritated, "What?"
I'm thinking, who is this girl?
The girl started talking to him, completely ignoring my presense. She was just a little too flirtacious, but Junho didn't respond, he just talk to her to be polite.
Out of nowhere the girl said, "Hey, I like you, do you like me?"
What is with this girl?
Junho grabbed my hand and simply said, "No, I already have a girlfriend."
I smiled at Junho, but thought this girl had some nerve to say that when there's a girl sitting beside Junho.
She said, "I don't mind, you can just dump her!"
She was getting on my nerves!
Junho got annoyed and said, "You're crazy! Go away!"
I kept smiling, happy that Junho is so firm, but that girl's got problems.
She stood up, glared at me and told Junho, "fine! You'll regret it!"
As she crossed the road, I looked at Junho and said, "that girl is psycho, you should be careful from now on." He told me, "yeah, I know and you be careful too..."
Well...that's the end of my lovely dream, but it felt so real. The images were like a movie screen, vivid and clear. This is also the first time I remembered my dream so clearly; all the details, images and dialouge. All the running and chasing might seem a little silly to people, but in the dream, I find it cute. I wouldn't mind playing this game of "tag" in real life

| Sometimes my mind wanders.
Thinking of something,
Someone
My thoughts stray,
Not too far off,
But not very close by.
Something is missing.
Or rather,
I'm missing something,
Someone.
Time passes,
Not so long ago,
But not that short either
Sometimes my heart ponders,
Feeling a little lonely
Missing someone.
Missing him.

| This was probably my most successful fund raising event. In the past, when I tried to fund raise for my clubs, I would probably sell one or two items at most. However, now I had chosen to do the March for Babies fund raiser or asking for donations to help babies live healthier lives, I actually receive quite a bit of donation. Perhaps because it's for a cause or that most the charity came from my family. Still, somehow I felt proud of myself for deciding to fund raise for such a notable cause.
Basically, the March of Dimes: March for Babies takes 77 cents of every dollar raised to fund programs and research to help mothers have full term pregnacies and babies live healthy lives. I participated in raising money as well as completing the 5-mile walk in support of struggling babies, fighting for their lives. It wasn't as difficult as I thought and I did spread the news to family, friends and classmates (making announcements in class, which was a challenge for me). The fund raising was a bit more difficult, especially when I'm the timid type, but I got through it somehow. The walk had taken place at UH on April 26, 2009 from 9:00 AM until you complete the walk. Along the marked path, there are booths that offer walkers water. However, for the first 3 miles of the walk the booths had ran out of water just as my friends and I reached it. Luckily, we had 1 bottle to share amongst ourselves. The funny thing was, I wasn't even that thirsty. The day wasn't very sunny, mostly cloudy, but every now and then the sun would peek out for five minutes. For the most part, the walk was pretty relaxing and each passing breeze felt extremely refreshing. At the finish line, FREE ICE-CREAM was offered!!! Now, I really enjoyed and savored every bite of that
That 5 mile walk was not as hard as I had expected, but now I know I am capable of walking more than 5 miles non-stop....

| When I was still in High School years ago, my mom had thought that I wouldn't be able to cook. I was lazy and tired back then from truck loads of homework to do every night, so of course I wouldn't cook. Plus, my aunt used to live with us, and she cooked for us every night, so why would I bother? I'm lazy most of the time, so I can't blame my mom either. She also thought I would chop off my finger every time I held a knife, but I know what I'm doing. She's over protective sometimes, but I still love her . My mom thought I would be a hopeless future wife. You have to understand that I'm Chinese and my mom is pretty traditional, so girls should know how to cook. She thought I would never be able to survive alone or even feed my future family. Well, I sure proved her wrong. Anyways, here I am at 21 and able to cook just fine. The main reason being a certain special person has walked into my life (cough* cough* I'll give you guys one guess about who I'm talking about  ). It's funny how much motivation he gives me...
   
Ah! Ok...I'm new at uploading photos, so here's the names of each dish from top to bottom:
Chicken with Green Beans
Curry Beef
Egged Shrimp
Fried Shrimp with Avocado Sauce
