Ipad3
Writing my first entry on my new ipad3 yeeeee! I never thought about purchasing an ipad before or desperately wanted it, but now that I have one (all thanks and gratefulness to OMGPOP and its ceo), things are so much more convenient! i dont have to lug my heavy laptop around and it's easy to go online wherever i am. Technology being a double-edged sword, I am also more prone to getting distracted and entertained by this beautiful ipad! *_*
Writing has also never been easier, and the urge crept up on me. I am connected anywhere I go :D and I am more inclined to update as I do.
Back to the point of this blog. I realize that I am indecisive and have a difficulty staying firm. It also takes me a long time to figure out what I truly want. Before I decide, I have a habit of asking all of my close friends for their advice and opinions on what they think I should do. Why is it so hard to know what I want? Shouldn't self-analysis be easier for ze self?
**************
I walk a joyful road, the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's not just me and I walk cheerfully. - rewrote a song by Green Day :)
Last night seemed like a terrible blur once i got home, but it made me learn something deep about myself.
My jealousy and sadness erupted and very unfortunately, my mom wound up taking the direct hit . Sometimes, the questions she asks rubs me the wrong way and i explode. Why couldn't I respond more nicely? Why do I take her for granted so much? Regret and painful recalls of the moments soon follow. Terribly vicious.
Mama Lee is a strong cheery woman. If I were in her shoes for a day, I know that I wouldn't be able to handle life as well as she does. Most of the time, I forget that she is also a gentle woman and not a mom made of steel skin who isn't affected by the evil words that I spew out. I am terrible daughter.

Sunday Morning
This morning, waking up in time for church was a fail..
I woke up to the sounds of yelling between mom and grandma. I feel bad for both of them, but more so for mom. Grandma puts her through so much everyday. No one will be able to understand what she has to go through. Even I can't imagine how she feels, and I've seen her go through it all. My mom is really strong and supportive and I know that I should be nicer, more gentle towards her but my own selfishness gets the better of me. I can't help but feel resentful towards grandma sometimes. I know, I know. She is very old and fragile :( and she's at that age where she cannot take care of herself. Although mom tends to nag alot, I know that she means well and is only doing it because she cares. No matter what grandma puts her through, she forgives easily and does her best to be the caring daughter that she is.
Today, we celebrated my cousin's 27th birthday early!
It was really nice bonding times. My belly ached from all the food.
Stuffed and sleepy

Thought of the Day
“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God” (Romans 10:3).
The only way to get into God’s good grace is to admit the truth: “There is no good thing in my flesh, nothing in my good works to merit my salvation. I cannot become righteous through anything I do in my own strength. My righteousness is in Christ alone.” Paul says of the gift of righteousness: “Those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17).
Thoughts have been creeping into my head recently and this ^taken from Pastor David Wilkerson's blog gives me a dose of truth and my wrongs

Fear of Food
On Friday, after the chapter meeting, I was Boston-bound on a quick spontaneous getaway for the weekend right before the first class on Monday.
We got there around 3am and went to sleep around 4. All day Saturday was greattt, filled with strolling along the Charles River, exploring Newberry St (Boston's Soho), and times spent eating, laughing, & catching up.
Sunday - we woke up around 11 and left the house by noon. We took the bus to Harvard Sq and explored the vicinity. I got to stroll thru Harvard :) It's a pretty place filled with grand buildings and an impressive dining hall that I mistook for a church. I tried to locate a place familiar to me from the movie The Social Network, but I couldnt find it...
Afterwards, we needed to eat! We wanted to eat at Bartley's, this gourmet burger place famous for its delicious burgers named after celebrities.. Found it, tried to open its doors, and the sign hit us, "Closed on Sundays."
-_______________________-
We were disappointed, but we're not ones to remain disappointed for too long! So we went on the search for better things and found another burger joint called Pattie's Flats.
It was pretty darn tasty! The meat was tender and juicy and the buns were butter grilled. The taste reminded me of Shake Shack.
Then we went to this pretty Chocolate place a few blocks aways and ordered dark chocolates and michelle ordered a cake and we sat down.
THEN PAIN STRUCK.
I was either poisoned by the burger or Boston didn't want to let me go back to NY. Almost died in the bathroom. I shall never forget L.A. Burdick's - the place of hot chocolate where I suffered.
:(
The bus ride back to NY was an adventure of its own. Crazy loud asian man on the phone right next to us, and annoyingly loud asian girls who had so many things to talk about right behind us.
Meanwhile, my stomach was in a burning sort of pain. Just had some crackers, clementines, and pepto. Sigh, we shall laugh about this months (maybe years) from now, but today was a painful day. Funny at the end, but paaaaaiiiinnnfullllll :'(

Red Bean Pastry Day 1.21.2012
A day of red bean pastries
Fish-shaped pastries filled with red bean on the inside. When you bite into it, it's soft and gooey but not overly gooey. It's very soft and yummy. I love watching it being made. There's that tantalizing aroma of fresh sweet bread. I wonder if there's a secret in the batter mix. If I had my own fish-bean pastry machine at home, I think I'd never stop eating them.
Found at your local korean supermarkets :D
ADDICTING.
