My Life in Fiction

All of Me- Gerald Marks/Seymour Simons

Ok so it’s been a minute 😀

Well what can I say?? A whole bunch has happened, namely my skin has been terrible, work has been terrible and my health overall has plummeted. 🙁

But silver lining! It is soon October so we shall see what it will bring 😉

And also, if anything, November is right around the corner, so hopefully if we can find tickets, I will be in Korea. (and hitting up all them cuties there too, haha!)

(so i’m back to crushing on this coffee mogul in Korea, like I can’t even help it he’s THAT cute ugh, I hate that I’m so superficial but what can I say? But who knows?? He might have a terrible personality or maybe he’s got this high pitched voice that I just can’t get behind? Who knows lol)

(BUT seriously, he’s like really tall and looks like a movie star. Plus he’s got his own business and everything. The major downside however: he doesn’t seem that spiritual but then again, I don’t really know him outside of Instagram LOLOL and it’s unfair to judge someone from social media, you know? But still. And IMPORTANT: he will probably not like me back :T but hey! It’s still fun to dream!)

I imagine I’d go to Korea and meet him at one of his cafés (yes, CAFES as in MANY CAFES-over 9 successful ones in Korea if his Insta is to be believed lol) and maybe we’d hang out for an afternoon/evening. I’d wear something classy and autumn appropriate since it’ll be in November and I like to imagine shades of orange, red and yellow all cast in a golden hue. Beautiful and just classy and like a nineties movie.

You know, 90s movies ala When Harry Met Sally or even Annie Hall (But that’s from the 70s lol I think every 20 years, the fashion just cycles again, like 90 s had a resurgence of the 70s and 20 years after the 90s we have a resurgence again of the grunge and plaid and I’m just loving it so much!). Loving the menswear inspired classics in luxe fabrics like cashmere, silk crepe and virgin wool. Maybe houndstooth or plaid or tweed even. And shiny brass-or even antiqued brass since it’ll fit the more autumn vibe-on a nice fine leather bag, structured and demure.

Ugh, I’m such a sucker for aesthetics, like I can’t even. I even ordered some bespoke shoes from Shoes of Prey, they’re suede and low block heel and just darling for fall (one in grey and the other burgundy). I can’t wait for them to come in.

I’d recently ordered shoes from French Sole, they’re perfect but made of velvet and my face fell immediately since ugh, velvet is such a finicky fabric to deal with. You know, you have to mind the nap and it balds and so on and so forth. So they’ll have to go back (they’re from Gilt, so returning it is a bit of a hassle) but whatever. I mean, they were pretty pricy. For velvet shoes, I wouldn’t pay over $50 LOL unless they were like shoes for show. I mean I have a pair of Dolce and Gabbana shoes that I dropped $600 for and they’re made of lace and has like these darling, sparkly Swarovski crystals decorating the ankle and t strap but come one, those are obviously just for special occasions and they’re just so pretty and they flatter my legs just so and I feel like a million bucks (except they’re so high I just wanna cry if I’ve worn them for longer than a couple hours lol-but again, they’re only for special occasions so I don’t usually walk marathons or whatever.)

They’ll look just amazing with my new bags. Yup, I got myself a Celine belt in grey (micro sized) and a YSL Sac de Jour in navy blue. Ugh, they’re both so perfect for fall, I can’t wait to break them out.

Now I just have to procure some more wide legged trousers and sweaters. Like cable knit or even just fine pullover sweaters even. Plus a nice collared shirt to pair with them.

I just love autumn and dressing up! Layers and layers and cute clothes. I mean summer has all the cute, feminine flowery dresses and I love summer as well. But autumn is when you have more license to dress in luxe colors and combos. Like boots. And jackets. And the leather! Ugh, I love leather.

A couple nights ago, it was cool enough to break out the Balenciaga and I felt (as per usual) like a million dollars in that jacket. (I mean, though, it was a pretty expensive jacket when I first bought it. It was probably the most expensive jacket I owned. Come to think of it, it probably still is lol. I mean $2700 for a jacket is still a lot even still. :T)

I’ll probably bring the Bal to Korea 😀 Or maybe not. I can’t imagine mom would like me wearing a jacket like that while there. Esp since I’ll be seeing people, lol.

Probably the Burberry would be ok though. It looks pretty classy. I mean it’s a classic trench just made of the silkiest lambskin ever (chevre is the correct name for lambskin in French lol) and I’ll probably bring my Coach jackets and my JCrew jackets because they’re just so classic and like grown up-ish.

I have to lose weight however, I can’t go to Korea looking like a fat cow :T

So I have to stay hungry.

Oh yeah!

Oh boy. If I get with Mr. Coffee, I think I’d be able to ask for a nice ring haha. I’m going to ask for my dream ring, the 3 emerald stone behemoth that costs $40k. I’m crazy, I know.

But if I can get with my OTP, then who really even needs a ring?? LOL I’m so terrible 🙁

I’d be happy with a copper wire wrapped around my finger.

Eh, wishful thinking. I have to work on my inner person first. :T

well, I’ll probably write some more later this weekend since night shift lol 😀

애정결핍증/A Deficiency of Affection- HnS

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

xoxo
