OMG this song is the best though.

Seriously, it’s been on loop for me the past two days lol the lyrics, the melody, the strings with the synthesizers…ugh, it’s so good.

I especially appreciate the poetic lyrics, like:

時が流れるほど
深まる君の
過去と未来の間にいる僕は今

The more time flows the more it deepens
I’m between your past and future right now

Ugh, I mean how poetic is that?? The implications that as time passes, the relationship between the two parties become stronger, more deeply intrenched and that he’s currently your present, aka the fleeting here and now.

It’s beautiful. I mean, ugh, the artist in me is just melting from the appreciation hahaha

I’ve always been a sucker for poetry and the flow of words. It all comes together in such a pretty way. Words are so powerful in that they can evoke such strong emotional responses, draw imagery in your mind. It’s really such a gift that we were bestowed with <3

Anyways

Did I tell you that I went to see Lucia Di Lammermoor with the cousin and sisters on Tuesday, 4/3/2018?? Bc I did. And man, it was amazing, even if it wasn’t an opera that I’m particularly fond of lol

Sohee enjoyed herself, I think. I think she was more impressed with the Lincoln Center more than anything bc let’s be honest, the center is BEAUTIFUL. And I can never tire of those glorious swarovski crystal chandeliers and the gilded gold ceilings and the two Chagall murals gracing either side of the hall. It’s ornate and luxurious and I just love walking up the plush red velvet covered grand staircase. It’s amazing 🙂

And the music! There’s such a beautiful tonal quality of the orchestra that melds perfectly from where we sat in the Family Circle (FC for life LOLOL) and the singer for Edgardo-he was amazing!! Vittorino something or other lol

Lucia Di Lammermoor last night which was awesome 😍😍

Glad the cousin liked it haha and also the Greek food we had too, so good 😍

Now I wanna see Whipped Cream by Richard Strauss, maybe I’ll get a group going or something haha probably sisters only bc I can’t imagine brothers going to see a ballet hahaha or maybe they’d want to go? Idk

I was doing a lot of thinking…

Well I guess I have to see how things play out lol

Btw the new album from Bts is so good, the lyrics for the above song especially 😍😍

LOL it’s technically April 2 and spring but it’s snowing, go figure :T

So its been a hot minute haha

I was busy. So what happened??

Oh yeah, 제주도 finally stopped texting 😀

J came to visit spontaneously on random Sunday and we did PM service with H and HY and went to glaze donuts 😍😍😍 I also dropped him off at the airport and then the sister and I and our cousin went to get Queen of Sheba ethiopian food, it was ok lol everyone else was underwhelmed but I want to try it again haha

Then in February I went to work nights at Fishkill and man, everyone is passing away. It’s so sad 🙁 poor SF who had to deal with it…he gave me my ppd shot too lol

And in February we had dinner with G and then she came over with her kitten Olive!! 😍😍 so cute!! And it was nice catching up with her 오랜만에ㅋㅋ

And that’s pretty much for February

MARCH…March was pretty busy

Let’s see…firstly I was invited to a fancy work gala 🙂 that was nice haha

Then I went to DC with the sisters and cousin and it was nice, we just made a weekend out of it and I think the cousin enjoyed it haha we had fun! But it was so FREAKING cold!!! And no flowers to be seen lol and I wanted to go to the cherry blossom pop up bar but we couldn’t bc s is not over 21 yet and you need to be over 21 to gain admittance 🙁 I guess I could always try to go next year if they do have it lol

Then the weekend later it was the Chinese assembly and that was nice, there was so many people I didn’t recognize lol

(But ugh, at the CA, I sat on the balcony and I look down and what do you know?? My ex is sitting with his new girlfriend, looking all 다정해 and lovey dovey and I just couldnt. It was such a bitter pill to swallow even though I don’t have an ounce of attraction for the guy any more and like I didn’t even think of him in the past year that we’ve been broken up but still. I mean I guess I don’t owe him anything and vice versa but it’s so quick and he said we were going to be on a break, like what if I was waiting for him still, god forbid?? Like not even a heads up. And to learn that they will be getting engaged next month at the Korean assembly?? Ugh I cant. And she’s so young!! And it just makes me mad that she moved to be in his hall and she got what she wanted when it was all for some ulterior motive to get married and like it feels almost unfair, you know?? And I thought he wanted a spiritual girl, like that’s why he spent so much time saying no to all these other wonderful sisters bc they didn’t meet his spiritual qualifications and then he gets engaged to this girl who was 공게책망 for leading a double life, having a worldly boyfriend and is just an all around pathological liar??? Seriously 🙁  oh wells. Its funny how things work out. But man, they are so obnoxious about it, i mean if I was to start dating, I’d have given him a heads up as a courtesy bc it feels terrible no matter how you try to justify it like I don’t know, maybe I’m blowing things waaaayyy out of proportion. I need to pray more and read the Bible, work on my inner person bc this is just me being seriously imperfect lol and id certainly not go out of my way to flaunt my new boyfriend in front of him, like hugging her and walking around with his arms around her so that I can see them like ugh, it’s the assembly too. I couldn’t concentrate which is terrible but I’m not sure if I can go to the Korean one either if they’re going to be all engaged and stuff then too also I’m terrified about this brother from Argentina, his aunt just contacted me and said he’s still interested in meeting me and I’m like OMG I thought this ended years ago, like how could you do this to me again now?!?! No, I’m still not interested omg)

(On a cuter, happier note, E is dating A, I hope they work out they’re so cute together haha)

Then the day after I went to my first ever Basketball game in Brooklyn with a bunch of friends, JP, the hongs, hwangs MM, Williams sisters, E and A, K, MG and DL. It was amazing, like omg Lebron James was like watching a ballet dancer, so fluid and graceful and he wields that ball like it’s attached to a string 😍😍 we also got jiulianna which was my first time, also Brooklyn roasters coffee 🙂 we also went to this super cute cafe called usagi which I want to visit again 🙂 after the game we went to this swanky bar called the Osprey and then hotpot at hometown hot pot 😍😍😍

Then the next week it was the memorial and grandma was supposed to come to our Chinese one but she bailed last minute bc our grandpa just started chemo and he didn’t want to be alone 🙁 but s came with us and I think she enjoyed it hahaha dinner at bcd with the hams, Hongs, hogans, HY and us three plus the hams bible study 🙂 afyer, HY went with us three for tea at cafe bene:)

Yesterday we went to HY s house for a see you later pachecos party and omg I got all emotional when E was like he was going to miss us and like he was like he remembers when he first met me i was cute then and still cute now and i just couldnt i like cried and H cried next to me and so did E T.T I guess we looked really pitiful bc there was a lot of hugging going around and JP gave us both hugs too T.T can’t believe they’re going to be gone and in Taiwan for the next two years at least 🙁

And that’s my first quarter of 2018 in a nut shell lol more detailed post forthcoming 😘😘

Xoxo
