thanksgiving 2009.

I ate over and over.
There weren’t any good deals for blackfriday.
Work wasn’t as good as I expected, probably i didn’t spent enough time prior to line up some deals like past few years.
Pictures will be updated soon.. hopefully.

Oh, I love my family.


Frozen food.

It is a fact that i don’t like freezer burned food….

Today’s lesson: timely consume all your frozen food!!!


Traffic Ticket.

On Oct, 04. 2009, sunday afternoon, I was coming home from apple picking in Michigan. I was extremely tired and had paper to write once I get home  so I was in a little hurry.

I wanted to take I80/I94 but ended up taking I90 skyline due to some guy pushed me off to the right lane to avoid an accident. Did I mention that I was tired?? Yes, it all started from there. I was in the mode of driving, not caring my surroundings, and of course neither speed limit… I got pulled over going 25 over the speed limit and got a ticket from Indiana state trooper. yadi yadi yada, the officer wrote me a ticket. It was the first one for my past 3 years and I forgot how much it will cost.

Today I received a letter from the court in Indiana, my fine came out to be creazy $225… plus with online transection fee everything came out to be $235!!

Gosh what a way to waste money..
I better drive slower and cruise  10 over the limit.


So hard to study.

I wonder if i should went to graduate school right away after getting my bachelor’s..
I never knew reading was such hard things to do when the material isn’t appealing to me. I have tons of reading to do and tons of papers to write. I have no doubt that i’m at right place where I need to be at this time of life, but the cost is so much more than i thought.

Hopefully I’ll be able to finish strong.


Testing out windows live writer.

I’m in Human Resources class and bored out right now so i just decided to play with Windows 7 and try out windows live writer. this will come out. Let’s see!


Somthing I need to have.

I need to bring spirit of excellency in everything I do.
I’ve been slacking off too much and being a spectator.
I better clean up and out things in order.


09.29.2009 – Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

IMG_8487

It’s been a while, I finally went to a baseball game!!!
Yes it wasn’t Red Sox game nor an American League game, but I’ve been thirsty for a baseball action!!
I don’t know what was wrong with my camera… idk if it was sitting out in a cold for a long time or wth.. It wasn’t able to focus well at all and I wasn’t able to take any =(

Anywho, the game was fun. Cubs scored from early on and Ryan Dempster Pitcthed real well. Complete shutout game.
Also sometimes I wonder, when Pirates will ever be a good team. They’ve been a bad team as long as I can remember.
Oh well, Final score was 6:0 and I’m going again this friday, so hopefully I’ll be able to snap some good pictures.

What a blast I had. I anticipated to go to U2 concert for past many years but never had any luck to attend one. Finally I got a chance to witness one of my favorite band performing. I got the tickets on the day from my friend, I couldn’t find anybody who wanted to go until almost last minute lol. I actually dragged Eunhye with me to prove how great U2 is. Anywho we sat in 300 level seats so it wasn’t any close to the stage but it was fantastic eperience. Oh yeah, also it was the first time I ever sat in the soldier field. One day i’ll go to bears game for sure lol.

I loved how they mixed up old and new and yes Bono is very vocal about what he believes and I love how he is, so many things he said it didn’t bug me at all.
Lighting was fantastic, i loved their screen that stretches and somehow lights from behind shows up and etc. Edge played different guitar every single song, Adam Clayton was rock solid on bass and loved his sparkling bass lol, and man.. Larry Mullen, Jr. seems like he never get tired nor miss his beats even singing!

It was great 3 hrs of entertainment, I’d love to go see them again.
(yes, it already been 3 weeks.. so i forgot a lot-)

quick update.

Finally back to a normal life until school starts
what have I been doing?

1. Radical 180 Summer Revival Breakout (7/6~7/10)
just like any other years at Asubury Theological Seminary Radical 180 Ministry hosted Youth Revival for a week. Presence of Holy Spirit was strong and healed many youth’s heart and equipped them in a way He desires. I pray many of them continually pursue to live a life for Jesus.

2. Guatemala Mission (7/13~7/31)
Another year if learning and serving at Guatemala. This time once again we went to region of Lake Izabel. Our main village was called Michaka and from there we built a school/church/village center and visited another 6 villages. As we preaching the Gospel and praying for sick people God demonstrated His love and power many different ways and we were able to see His glory.

3. Two weddings
Praise God for two couples whom just tied knots Congratulation to Jonathan and Rachel and Dan and Caroline.

3. Car Shopping.
Yup I’m crazy. I decided to purchase a car then sold my car in 2 days and purchased new one a day after. I drove 8 different cars and ended up purchasing a 2009 black Honda Civic Si Sedan. yup another civic but I’m really happy with this car.

4. Spiritual Journey
Yes I’m writing this in a airplane on the way back home. For a week, SSC youth staff had a blast of fun and resting(?) in Florida. actually not so resting since we were busy visiting places and having lots of fun. BUT it was definitely blessing time for us to spend a week together. Thanks to elder from church who graciously offered us his winter home to us so we can stay and have fun.

4. Near future.
Going back to work starting tomorrow and soon my first semester of graduate course will begin. Plus something new exciting will begin sometime late September or early October. I can’t wait!!

5. Possibility of winter
Visiting Korea and India.
Stay tuned!!!


2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan.

This is my new car purchased on August 6, 2009. My first car under my name and paying full amount by myself.!!
Yes, I know I purchased another Civic but no longer it’s a coupe and automatic.
Now it is a sedan and 6spd manual!! (How joyful I am to have a sedan!!!)
I love how firm suspensions are, how smooth and nice transmission is, and although it has very low torque how nice and feel nice and tight it is. Only wish to have a bit more power.

It is bit heavier than RSX Type S and bit less power but with LSD I love how it turns in corners.

So far I had it for 4 days and I’m loving it!!!
