Oh boy. Where did September go??

It was super busy as per always, with K/E wedding on 9/3/2016 and Gilead the week after and then service, service, SERVICE.

Yup. And Drakefest 2016 which was amazing as always.

So let’s see, the K/E wedding was nice, held at the Venetian. The venue was a grand, expensive guido-styled banquet hall (which, I guess is fitting since we live in Jersey-land of the guidos, capitol of gaudy weddings) and the food was amazing as per usual of these party halls. Strange pink lighting though, made us all turn blue in photos :T

Bride was beautiful-she always is- groom…well he’s just E. haha (funny to think of him as any other way since we’re the same age and friends. He’s like my brother LOL)

She’s a little young (21 and still attending nursing school) but eh, that’s a topic for another time.

Then Gilead Graduation-amazing. Just amazing. This time I was invited to E’s room (he’s new to our hall, lives at Fishkill)and watched it with GR, TJK, TR, ZLZ, HL, EK and his roommate GW (he’s into photography too! He’s got a whole bunch of vintage cameras and takes photos with film and also doesn’t like intense hiking LOL I guess it comes from being a Brooklyn/city boy. I feel we could be very good friends LOL).

Lots of good points about being humble and following Jehovah’s direction-helpful to everyone actually.

Then we went to meeting at Towaco-and RC was visiting from somewhere in Asia! OMG it was so good to see him! He’s definitely mellowed out and has gotten much more mature (well not that he wasn’t before haha but you know).

And we had ice cream at Curlys. RC was so cute, taking pictures of the sky-lol i guess Asia doesn’t have skies quite like the US.

And then service-oh! B came out to service and I saw him for the first time in a while and hahahaha he’s gotten a little chunky. Still pretty but chunky. Like he’s got a bit of weight around his mid section and like 3 chins LOL

Then the next weekend we went out in service again-Mitsuwa cart witnessing with JH and H, also Mom and HJ was also there 🙂

And service all day- we ended up watching Train to Busan on Sunday night and OMG. GONG YOO. SO HOT.

THEM SHOULDERS. AND HIS PERFECT PROPORTIONS.

AND ARMS. AND THOSE PUPPY EYES. Plus he’s got this magical bone structure. (I hope he studies the Bible-not too far off for Korean celebs.)

Ugh. and then I get all obsessed with Korean guys-I’ve figured I like really, REALLY Korean faces for Asian guys (think Ji Jinhee and Yeon JungHoon and Gong Yoo) which is strange because I normally prefer non Koreans haha (Like Japanese celebs I like Shou who is decidedly non Asian looking and my ultimate celeb crushes are Chris Evans and Chris Pine lol)

Eh. Whatever.

And then I had a part- Bible Study which always stresses me out haha (thankfully it’s over and I didn’t faint on stage although my voice gets so airy)(ugh, this darn anxiety issue)

And then we had Drakefest!! 😀

So my friend has this really big BBQ every year and this year’s was the best yet. 🙂

Food was amazing, the associations were fantastic and the games! Just fantastic! (I brought dessert, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate cake and pecan custard tart) (and i now realize I’m part of the older crew so I need to start cleaning and organizing lol no longer a little girl sigh)

(and I for one, miss my JD. We used to do service together all the time but now that we’re separated it’s hard to hang out. Also now there’s talks of splitting the congregation all together :T)

Anyways, Drakefest. 🙂

Usually J plans them and as per usual, he was amazing. We played a bingo game and the winning team got to pick their choice in an outdoor movie (magical-the crispness of the evening paired with popcorn and a hot cocoa bar? win!) (although the DVDs didn’t play for some reason :T and ironically the movie that no one wanted to watch ended up being the only that could be played because it was on a drive)

I have to say, J has REALLY matured since I’ve first met him. (But he still has a silly streak in him which is endearing-really he’s such a great guy!) He’s diligent about his duties, takes his preaching work seriously (have I ever told you how attractive he is when you see him preach? It’s magnetizing) and is whip-smart (really, he’s quick to catch onto things, knows all sorts of historical and popcultural facts, extensive knowledge of the Bible)-he’s dangerously close to being my ideal type LOL

(i don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m getting old, I’m getting weepy and sentimental about everything and more prone to being swayed. I have a feeling he just might be my next crush since L is now taken *sniff*)

(Did I ever write about L? OMG I must not have!

SO apparently, he’s dating. Someone from his congregation.

I don’t know who it is but oh wells. If it was going to work out then it would’ve worked out by now. Whatever, it’s his loss.

I’ll just have to privately work out my feelings. Ugh it sucks to get rejected, though. YKWIM?

Whatever. I’m sure there will be plenty of boys in the new system, if not in this system. AND he’s the one who told me Jehovah never says no, he says wait for it or I have something even better so who knows what my even better might be? It might not even be marriage, since I have such a silly fear of committment.

And besides, as I’ve said, J has gotten so much mature and so much more closer to my ideal :T)

*cue angsty music*

Anyways. I’m glad the weddings for this year are over (for now). I don’t think I could stand another wedding and having to sit glumly during those couple dance songs.

(Plus the Great Korean Scramble has been working ok-we just have to trust Jehovah and have faith in his direction. The brothers are closer than ever- case in point, we had a big Teaneck Gathering at the Y’s home on 9/24/2016. So cozy, we talked outdoors with a fire pit-which we seriously need lol)

I guess back to work now. :T
