OMG
I fail at being regular!
So things have been pretty busy-there a few things that happened since the last time I’ve written:
1. JM and AU’s wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateaux in NJ-beautiful, beautiful wedding, omg i think I’m ruined for all other venues. Seriously was the most beautiful wedding I’ve been to, EVER. No other place compares-the beautiful estate, the pool, the wonderfully high vaulted ceilings with the intricate moldings!
And the food! It was so good, seriously! And loved the desserts served like hor deouvers (or however that’s spelt-I’m not French!)
AND! A professional photo booth! That was the best part, seriously I had so much fun with all of my co workers! 😀
Beautiful venue!
2. Dinner at RP and EP’s place in Brooklyn where I got to meet all these really cool NYC JWs (Korean ones, of course!) And it was loads fun!
We played bbong with eating bbundaegi as the punishment haha! The punishment wasn’t too horrible IMO, even though it is silk worm larvae :T
(I thought it was just the case after it was done molting but NO, apparently it’s the REAL THING! O_O)
3. MY MOM AND SISTERS WENT TO KOREA!! T__T
That’s the worst one! Ugh it’s from like 9/14/2015 to 10/18/2015 which is MORE THAN ONE MONTH! But thankfully it’s now the 10/10 so just a little over a week to go, thank goodness! We’ve been keeping in touch with kakao messaging and video calls-thank goodness for technology as well haha!
They’ve been having fun it seems and I’ve been keeping busy, I’m actually doing housework and stuff.
And I’ve been doing more things with dad so that’s good too. Like we went to watch Everest and the Super Blood Moon of 2015 and service and eating out and all sorts of fun things!
Ugh. And dad is starting to drive me crazy so thank goodness they’re almost coming home.
The worst bit is that Grandma keeps calling/coming over. THAT’s the worst, because like, seriously I can stay by myself!!
But eh, whatever.
4. ANNUAL MEETING! 10/3/2015
SO many new changes! I mean like whoa! It’s a historic annual meeting with the GB totally changing the midweek meeting, changing the magazines to be now published every other month and no more dates on the cover! Plus the study edition of the NWT and the new Teach Us book and the new Organized to do Jehovah’s Will book- it’s amazing!
Plus we watched the new sample meeting for family worship and it’s so nice, it’s almost the same as it was but different, you know? Now you really have to study hard for the meetings, no more winging it haha!
5. The Balvenie Craft event in NYC 😀
That was just yesterday, 10/8/2015! SO I went to the city and shopped in the city (Soho) and bought some boots, a blouse 🙂 Then I met RP at Chelsea, the high line and it was so pretty up there! Definitely have to go with the sisters one of these days! But anyways, afterwards, we met up with NYC friends-EP, JK, HC, BSL, PSL, Fabi, SJ and had a free whiskey tasting at the Balvenie event-yum, loved the 17 year whiskey, it was delish! I liked it even better than the 21year portwood! lol
It felt so fancy there, with all their rare craft glasses and everything but the people were the best! I may be a little in love with all the boys haha but hey, a little alcohol in your system is the best aphrodisiac ^_~
Then we went to Chic-fil-a because its the first one to open in NYC but the lines were CRAZY so we decided to eat at a jjajiangmyun place which was good but idk maybe because i was so hyped up, I wasn’t very hungry haha
(Might I add SJ carried my bag and it was heavy so I might have fallen in love with him a little more-that and he has the most brilliant laugh, it’s a nice low timbre with a mellowed out mirth to it-nice!)
After that, the girls and SJ and Fabi we went to this bar in ktown, 별이빛나는밤에 which was real cute and campy with these lights and a korean DJ playing all sorts of requests haha and we had beer and soju.
We had many er, interesting conversations, namely a bout of would you rathers with a different kinds of men and this one poor imaginary clean-but-bald-and-ugly guy hahaha I guess we figured out women are rather shallow!
(But so are men! And Fabi is into non-Koreans-but he is from Kansas! And SJ likes nice legs on a girl so I guess I’m out 🙁 But anyways, I’m sure he’s really popular anyways being Mr. I-own-a-factory-but-I-happen-to-be-super-chill-and-sweet )
Oh! And I met EL (Nina unni’s husband) at the Balvenie event! What are the chances?! Anyways apparently there was a whole slew of Bethelites there but eh they were all from Brooklyn so I wouldn’t know them.
AND EL was with this guy that I’ve been eyeing ALL NIGHT! I swear, he looked just like Andy Kelly from that one show about the 90s on Hulu! So cute!! His name was Jesse (I think) and he’s a Special Pioneer from JC ASL congregation! But seriously, he was so, so stinkin cute but too bad he’s married.
He even lives in Fairview, NJ but eh. W/E. He’s taken.
(He looked so much like JAF too, I was almost taken aback, but this guy was polished. I guess that’s what a wife will do to you, I wonder if JAF is polished too now. Sorry, hadn’t meant to mention him but it happens!)
Balvenie Rare Craft Event
Today I had to take B to Ikea to buy her a new chair-it’s an early graduation gift-but I can’t drive/walk on account of the horrible, horrible blisters on my feet. They hurt so much, no joke, I couldn’t sleep on account of the pain of the blankets dragging across them ugh.
Well, tomorrow is a new day!
So ends my 2 day vacation haha
Ugh!! Did I mention I ordered a few blazers and a coat from JCREW and the UPS guy (my regular guy, he was out on vacay last week and some other driver named ANDREW delivered) dropped it off at the wrong house!! >:T
(this is all conjecture-my regular UPS guy told me this when I confronted him at the USPS where he was dropping off all of my surepost items) because it says it was delivered last Friday but THERE WAS NOTHING. AND i’ve been really good, checking like every 5 minutes but nothing.
Grrr!!
Time to email JCrew!
So anyways, yes, only a week and a day before the family comes home and i get to see them again!!
Til then!
xoxo
