This last month before the wedding is a lot to digest...
But more than having all these things I need to do,
I think it's the conversations that I have with my parents that's the hardest.
I'm so blessed to have the best parents anyone could possibly ask for.
It would be so much easier on me if I didn't know,
but there's no way I could doubt how much they love me,
and how much they sacrifice themselves...even now...for me.
It's amazing how selfless their love and their effort is towards me.
These days, my mom and I always have moments where
we have to fight the tears as our voices waver
as my dad sits and smiles a smile that means a million different feelings.
As I sit on my bed typing away,
I can't help but wonder how much more difficult it would be for them...
to let go of someone they gave birth to, taught, loved, prayed and cared for for the past 24 years.
And as I write this, I am reminded of today's sermon and the love and the grace that God has shown us. I am thankful that my parents' love for me, points me to His love for us.
Forever grateful will I be.
How blessed I am.

Spent the past 1.5 hours chatting to the representative of a 한복 place in Korea via KaKao.
Though not very traditional, I thought the dress above was stunning.
Now the question is, can I pull it off? Is it too much?
Of course, I'm thinking I'll have solid sleeves, maybe a cream color.
Anyway, Jenny and I briefly talked about this last week in LA, but 한복s are beautiful.
hello, fashionista!
uh, if I hadn't already bought my wedding dress and reception dress, I would've definitely considered this for one of them.

Like I said, it's so easy to fall away from doing this...but I'm still committed!
So, while I did attempt to blog while I was in CA, it was a fail because I wasn't able to fill out anything past the Title on my iPad. I later found out that I need to download the blogger app, but that was a couple days too late.
So so so many things seem to have happened in the few days that I didn't blog.
First off...I have the best bridesmaids in the world. :)
You guys humble me and make me wonder at why you guys are so good to me even though I fail to return the favor so many times. :*( Thanks ladies...
Next, the Costa Concordia...yes the one I was to be on board in March has sunk...is sinking? This has been all over the news the past few days...it's the first time since the Titanic sank 100 years ago. Already 11 dead, and the death count will probably only go up now, since it's been so many days and I don't know just how long people can survive without food and water, etc. It's horrific, and to think that the same captain would have been my captain in a matter of weeks' time, makes me shudder.
This, of course, leaves Danny and me back at square 1 on our honeymoon. (I feel so selfish to write about and be concerned about my honeymoon when such a tragedy has occurred...sigh*)
Lastly, I've finally placed all my orders for the invitations. I hope I get them by the end of this week, but I'm thinking it's more likely that I'll receive them next Monday. Then, off to work I go, as my goal is to send them out by the 25th at the latest.
Haven't been able to do some "reflecting" in some time, but it's getting late and I must go to bed now. Hopefully tomorrow. :)
Goodnight!

Sigh* I'm beat. Sleepy I am.
I'll be off to CA on Thursday, but I still have yet to figure out where I'll be staying, who I'll be meeting, etc... it's horrible. I hope this is not a foreshadowing of what my wedding will be like.
It would mean big trouble if it is...
Boo...I was going to write in Korean, but my computer's being weird. Even now, I'll type and the words will appear a few seconds later. MacBook Pro, you have served me well, but I think 6 years is the most any laptop should ever last.
Anyway, I'm excited to see everyone when I go back to Cali this time. I'm a little worried about logistics, but whatever happens, I'm just happy to be able to go back before the wedding! YAY!
Then goodnight, I'm off to bed!

Oh man, I definitely completely forgot about my resolution yesterday...completely slipped my mind. But I'm just going to carry on and try to write on a daily basis.
So it finally snowed today. This is also Danny 오빠's first production with his new Flip HD that he's so happy to have purchased for 1/2 price on ebay. lol. He even "modded" it by adding a wide angle lens...looks like I'll have to get more comfortable in front of the camera.
Anyway, we're starting to receive a trickle of wedding gifts already, and it's now really beginning to hit home that soon I won't be in this room lying on my bed and typing away as I'm doing at the moment. Within a month I'll be moving into the new apartment, and a month after that, I'll be married and sharing that apartment with someone else.
이렇게 쓰고 생각하니깐 또 묘한 기분이...ㅋㅋ
I guess there won't be many more posts written from this little room of mine all by my lonesome.
In a few months I'll be posting from CA the week before my wedding, I'll be posting from my new home in VA, and I'll be posting (hopefully) from Barcelona, and the Mediterranean! haha...just crazy.
암튼, 요즘 생각이 많아지고 할께 많아지고 시간은 어디로 가는지 모르겠고...
원인은 직장인것 같은데...그만둘수도 없고...
이런 저런 생각과 고민이 많아지네...
Perhaps I'll be able to expand on this tomorrow since I should go to sleep now.
Goodnight, from a winter wonderland.

Definitely don't like the cuts of 박진영, but 김수환 definitely sang this song beautifully.
정말 가사가 귀에 쏙쏙 들어오며, 너무 진심이 담긴 노래였음.

We're officially ready for the basketball tournament tomorrow! :)

Another long and tiring day, but at least tomorrow is Friday!
As the days fly by, all the things I need to get done begin to loom over me like a dark cloud.
...a storm's a brewing...lol...
Perhaps I should make a list here, and cross them off as I get it done...maybe tomorrow...
haha, my procrastination. -_-;;
But one thing for sure--I will place my order for invitations by Sunday. I shall!
I got my custom dress in today, and with a bit of alterations, I think it will be fine for the reception...thankfully.
Oh man, my eyes are closing... but the good news is that i'm about 95% done with the guys' basketball shirts. yay!...Okay, I don't think that anything I've written is cohesive or making sense, so goodnight! Better post tomorrow :)

This resolution is actually much harder than it seems...I'm so tired!! haha. I just finished painting some basketball shirts for Danny's team that will be playing in our church basketball tournament this coming Saturday. Although I'm sure most of the guys on the team won't even understand or appreciate the time it took to paint the numbers on the shirt, I'm just glad that I could support Danny and his team somehow.
As I was painting, and during the end stretch, as my back and neck started to hurt from crouching over the shirts, I was reminded of all the projects I had to do while in school. I then remembered a particular project in which I had proposed to bite off more than I could chew...I had proposed to gather over 1000 responses to a question and to present them as an installation. I would've never been able to accomplish that (especially because I procrastinated) had it not been for Danny taking a half day at work, coming to my school, and running around asking 500+ students to help with my project. :) ...so if I compare painting these shirts to that, it's just a small thing I can do for him in return for the countless times he's helped me and supported me with things that I do. I'm grateful and lucky to have a man so willing to help and support me, and I hope to be thankful always, and serve with a glad heart.
