GOOD BYE MALIBU T^T

can i just devote a post to how much i love the heated toilet seat?

who ever invented the bidet, i will love you always.

seriously, there’s nothing quite like sitting on a WARM toilet seat on a cold day especially in the mornings when you’re not quite awake.

it is a must in the winter time. and in the summer time when the a/c is working too too hard but no one in the house will let you turn it off.

but erhm…all silliness aside, as the title suggests, goodbye MALIBU 🙁

so yesterday was an ordinary thursday, with work then studies then eating out (lol!) and then writing at home before falling asleep early around 12.

around 1, mommy wakes me up and says something along the lines of wake up, the malibu’s gone. 🙁

OMG! whaddayamean?! i hastily stumble towards the door before realizing i’m only in short shorts and a tank top. i pull on whatever i can find and run outside and OMG.

firstly, our neighbor (the girl, i haven’t really seen her often but er she looks like S) is bringing the stuff from the trunk to our door.

and the car is completely TOTALED. like omg, the front is gone and the back is gone and there are a ton of towing cars everywhere and lights from police cars and omg omg omg

the neighbor explains to me that there was a big bang and then 3 seconds later there was another one. she came running out and what happened was there was a tow truck and he drove up the opposite side of the road and completely head on collided with my sister’s car

the car was thrown up and sideways towards the trees where it collided with the trees then started to roll back towards our driveway.

then the tow truck saw that it was going to hit ALL of our cars and pulled up in front of our cars and got hit again!

O.O

it was absolutely horrible. meanwhile my sister is in shock, actually we all are.

the neighbors all were like running out when they heard and she started banging on our door and my father and my sister and mom were like the first ones out, can you believe i didn’t even hear?!

omg and i felt kinda bad because i did a bad parking that my sister parked out on the street and that’s why my dad’s car was parked in the driveway and my sister’s car got totaled. and it would have totally worked out if my dad’s car was the one tht was totaled, that thing’s a dinosaur anyways!

but man! he must have been going super fast to have my sister’s car thrown so far back!! 🙁

i’m just glad no one was hurt.

but now we are down a car and my sister’s super upset. originally we were going to have her drive grandpa’s old benz because obviously he’s no longer driving but apparently my uncle totaled his beamer and decided to drive grandpa’s car.

that kinda sucks.

we are kinda short on cash recently so it really puts a dent in our finances. 🙁

but eh, importantly no one was severely hurt. and the tow truck driver saved our other cars

imagine if ALL of our cars were damaged?! OMG we would have been so so screwed.

but yeah. i loved that malibu. so many nice memories. and we JUST had it fixed. and the payments were all finished and it was such a beautiful car.

my sister was just saying that afternoon how much she loved that car 🙁

and she also mentioned my crappy parking. ah wells. ecclesiastes 9:11

and besides, my sister’s car wouldn’t have been parked out in the street had we not had any guests from warwick over at our home so in a way it’s another sacrifice for Jehovah.

what can we say? we will make it out.

(but i will still miss that wonderful car with that wonderful butt warmer-err i kinda really do love my heated seats haha!)

oh wells.

we will just have to lease a car and hopefully in 2 years we will be all settled again. eh.

life is so complicated.

i’m going to bed.

BANGBANG! 5.14.2015

Ok so wow. Where to even begin?

Last month was all sorts of crazy. Like all sorts of crazy.

First, poor grandpa went in and out of the hospital 4 times. In 3 weeks. I am not even kidding. I wish I was but no.

And each time, he would say, I can’t breathe, I have chest pain, the gas bubbles up my throat, tell all the children to visit me, I want you to remember my final words…etc.

OMG. Can i just say drama?!

And my dad was so fed up with it all, actually all of my uncles and aunts were fed up, me especially.

We decided to place him in a nursing facility haha. ahem. Actually, that sounds terrible. But really, he was comfortable/eating/fine only in a facility/hospital.

The anxiety is real in him, lol!

Anyways, he then got admitted to a psychiatric facility, omg. and that’s when my dad felt horrible. Basically, you are stuck in a little bare room, like OMG super bare like there are not even furnishings for fear the crazies will off themselves.

(not that grandpa is crazy, he’s just super anxious. he’s got an eating disorder. he’s driving us crazy.)

AND visiting hours are extremely limited. As in between 1-2 and 7-8. Wow. Grandma’s been staying there on 16hr/day shifts lol. I guess you can’t stay grandma!

But actually, haha, he’s been doing very well at the pscyh ward and he was discharged yesterday (after 1 week!)

Woohoo! Today I shall be going to see him, to visit and make sure he’s really ok. I’m sure he won’t complain about anything anymore and hopefully the hospital sent him home with some anxiety meds because let me tell you, that anxiety was real.

Works is eh. I’m not even concerned anymore. If i get fired, I’ll collect my severance package and live in Taiwan for a year before i start to look for another job.

Went to Patterson (2x in the last month! somehow the schedule ended up that way) and I ended up working with my favorite people there both times! yay!

(JF and SF and VB, incidentally the first people I’ve ever met at Patterson, so yay!)

*Edit now it is 5/21/2015*

Ermm…so it’s been a while hahaha.

so everything has basically been the same old.

Let’s see…

So last weekend I went out in service with some of my fav people, JD and JH and J-err don’t know her last name but her insta is ROSE! 🙂

It was…interesting to say the least.

Like OMG there is this bro that is kinda really creepy. And yeah. well. it’s pretty much self explanatory but eh, let’s just say, I don’t trust anyone that doesn’t eat sugar. Or peanut butter. Or regular butter.

AND RITAS OMG, love love love ritas! And I drive well, for the record!! 🙁

But anyways, the next day (Sunday) we had the goodbye party for NB who is moving to the middle kingdom to join JT and KB (er, not the one I had a crush on, mind you, JESUS)

The party was all sorts of lovely, loved the decorations, loved the food (hot dogs!), loved the fire pit (smores!)-LJ and DC really did an outrageously lovely job!

I adored their little smores get up and the swing was all sorts of fun to fool around with and OMG what?! floating lanterns a-la TANGLED!! TANGLED! AKA my most fav recent disney movie (like seriously, what is that frozen crap?!)

(but, erm apparently it’s a buddhist tradition where you send off the souls of your lost one into their next life? that’s what the mom said. so yeah, that’s kind of a bummer 🙁 esp. since the lights are so, so pretty!)

btw- CB has an amazing taste in music- Yann Tiersen?! OMG heck yeah!

Drive there was all sorts of lovely too as I drove up with my girls, JD, HL and AK. The night would have been perfect had RR been there as well but alas she had a wedding to attend- her friend from japan.

Oh wells. weddings are important too, I suppose. And I got to see pictures so it was ok haha OMG RR looked AMAZING!

(and BM and LM was also there, miss those guys like seriously, why can’t they come back!? like can we trade out for one of them at least?! please?!)

Also the week before, the parents went on vacay to Banff Canada (lol for some reason i always want to say banff australia but apparently Canada and australia are not the same country!!)

The pictures from their trip are glorious. My word. The views of the snow capped mountains?! Lovely.

And OMG they are so adorbs, they got me this coffee tumbler from the very first starbucks ever and omg its so adorable of them! haha although they felt badly they didn’t get the sisters anything (although they did bring back some almond fudge-yum!!)

but we the girls went crazy with the eating out hahaha!

so night 1-monday- bon chon while watching unbroken-the movie was terrible! choppy narrative and anticlimatic. 🙁 and why is miyavi’s shoulders so so tiny?! (on a different note, OMG GARRETT HEDLUND!)

night 2- tuesday- avengers @starplex and movie food-food was bleh, movie was ehhh. NOT a fan of the experiment/russian accented maximoff twins! And what in the world?! HULK AND BLACK WIDOW?!? OMG no. (BUT! STEVE ROGERS/CHRIS EVANS! He is everything I want in a man. Baptized, of course lol!)

night 3-wednesday- at home- the cod! OMG never cook cod at home again. seriously the stink of fish was horrendous, it just would not go away, i had to wipe down all the surfaces in our home like 2x 🙁 but after meeting we took HL from korea to curly’s and had their fabulous waffle cones 🙂

night 4-thursday-IHOP. yes, breakfast for dinner is always a good idea! plus we visited grandpa and he seemed to be pleased to see us so yay!

night 5-friday-pub 199 for lobsters, clams and onion rings-OMG so good! and the prices cannot be beat, seriously!

night 6-saturday-bangganae for heukyeumsotang 🙂 yum

And then i picked up the parents and the K couple early on sunday morning 🙂

Oh yeah and of course.

I can’t not mention the film, The Brothers Bloom.

Seriously. I LOVE that film. It’s quirky, the camera work is beautiful and mostly the style in the film is just EN POINTE.

Bangbang is my new style icon. I aspire to dress like her.

I’ve already ordered a pair of chanel sunnies although the exact ones are no longer made. And well my wardrobe is already mostly like bangbangs! black, white and reds.

now i have to find that furry black hat-that hat is so adorable! and i need a black military esque cape. and i need tailored wide legged pants.

clear skin and weight loss is also a must.

as well as fur coats. have i mentioned i love fur?! i do. especially when worn like bang bang does.

(although i draw the line at the bleached blonde shaggy hair and the cigarettes. ugh. no)

but yes. i also need gloves and scarves and omg the list goes on and on.

meh.

And Penelope’s Song has been playing on repeat 🙂

well.

that’s about it.

xo
