making mud pies

"Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."

C.S. Lewis

I love how this man wrote; he made so much sense. He made (and makes) Christianity seem so logical. But at the same time, he had so much conviction for us mere mortals to relate completely (at least for me). It's hard to find comfort when I am stuck in the slum making mud pies...and cannot trust that I can go off to a holiday at the sea. C.S. Lewis makes perfect sense but I cannot make sense out of it.

twitter owns me.

I can't focus on blogging because I have to think of my next tweet. I'm learning to be grateful -- or rather, trying to add plus-factors in my life to remain at (in) a happy state.

so much to complain about

but I shouldn't whine here. I've whined enough.

Been in the city for two nights, three days...48 days left in the city!

TBC.

last night in buffalo

I've been brain-dead for awhile. It was relaxing but at the same time, v. boring.

Last night in the buff. Kind of surreal. I will be back in August for two days before I leave for Asia.

I will now live out of luggage bags, eat terrible food, and be a nomad.

Tomorrow is an errands day in the city. Must go to Japan's Consulate, Korea's Consulate...etc.

Soccer today really depressed me. I had predicted a 2:1 loss...but a 4:1 loss was devastating. I felt ill after the game and went straight to bed after taking medicine for indigestion.

makeup

My roommate from junior year (college) gave this to me as a Christmas gift in 2005. The brick shattered after some good use. I finally opened my purse and replaced it. Took 4.5 years!

Also bought a dress for Liz's cousin's wedding. Ugh, weddings. Sort of like graduations...except it makes me feel sort of behind in life. But everyone tells me...no need to rush. I'm not even ready, but still...the "behind in life" feeling remains.

last week in the buff!

park ji sung

makes me proud to be of S. Korean heritage.

hard to gauge

it's hard to gauge how often to tweet.

i hope i learn the art of tweeting properly.

world cup! not sure if i can wake up early enough to watch the s. korea game. it would be easier for me to not go to bed.

기다림의 보람.

twitter

I started twitter (had an account for awhile but first tweet!) mainly to read famous people's tweets.

I wonder how long I'll last on Twitter.

My posts here are strangely becoming tweet-like.

I forgot

1) to lose weight

2) to learn Japanese

summer goal(s) FAIL.

mulberry!

ugh, internet shopping. materialism. but happiness! my new baby! alexa!

oh no

I don't want this blog to die! But nothing to really blog about. Hope all is well!
