So sadness, yes.

My mom and sisters are currently in Korea. For one whole month. 🙁

Plus my dad’s away on business because of course he is. And while I could have spent the night alone, Grandma somehow got wind that I was going to be alone (god forbid!) and she insisted that I stay with her at her house.

Womp womp. OMG I’m 27, I can stay home alone.

(Although truth be told, I’ve been watching Criminal Minds and was a teensy, tiny bit scared-but no worries, I’ll be fine!)

But yeah, a lot’s happened since the last time that I was here!

For one thing, the weekend of August 22, 23 I did service with J and TJK and in the evening we hung out at Hoboken Pier 13-and it was so so nice! I took JH with me because omg I was not about to go alone!

And I didn’t think the boys would come but they did! And the weather was so breezy and we watched the sun go down, the rays reflecting brilliantly off the buildings! And then the lights came on, the string lights that all al frescoe Italian restuarants seems to have and they played Frank Sinatra (um, Sinatra Park!) and it was so lovely!

Did I ever mention JH’s eyes are so blue they’re mesmerizing?! Well if I haven’t, then they are and I had a momentary crush on him on account of his beautiful blues (although my Grandma would have a MI, for some reason, she’s afraid of blue eyes lol!)

And then the next weekend was a Patterson weekend which was fun–the same old although since a lot of the former residents have passed away, it was kinda sad. 🙁

And it wasn’t so busy! But still.

The weekend after that-hmmm what did I do?? oh yeah! I hung out with RR and C and C (2 new girls that are working at Warwick!) and RR slept over. That was fun too, because I haven’t hung out with RR in the longest time and even my sisters enjoyed themselves!

We went to the Willowbrook Mall, then had soondoobu and bingsu at Cafe Bene (had I known that Coco Loko had better bingsu, we’d have gone there, lol!) before going home and having shots of soju whilst talking of boys.

Of course a bunch of girls together will be talking about boys but apparently, JA is the most popular. Go figure. And I don’t know why LM is not 🙁

Oh! And Big news! Apparently, RR used to like RC! Can you believe it?! I had no idea but HL told me about it and told me to keep on the DL. No wonder she laughed so hard when my sisters said he looked like the Keebler elf! haha!

After that, it was Labor Day and I spent the day shopping with my mom, we hit up Woodbury before going to Neiman Marcus so she could get some gifts for her sisters lol which ended up being YSL lipsticks.

Then on Friday was J.M’s wedding to AU. OMG THE WEDDING WAS FANTASTIC!

First off, the venue-fabulous!

The food-amazing!

And a professional photobooth?!? I’m sold! I had such a good time with my workmates and my supervisor and manager! It was brilliant! And then the party favors! OMG J totally overdid it, she set the wedding standard so freaking high! It blows all the other weddings I’ve ever been to out of the water!

(Except for the ceremony, of course, lol. It was done by a bishop/rabbi! How does that even work?! I swear those are so dumb!)

I want to get married at the Pleasantdale Chateaux too, if I could afford it! (She said it was $275 per person! 275!!)

And then the next day was GIlead Grad but I couldn’t go because the brothers at Patterson didn’t send me my ticket via email. Oh wells. I guess I’ll have to watch it on JWTV

Spent the day out in service with my sisters 🙂

Then on Sunday, JH gave the talk at our hall and it was nice-easy-ish to understand and he translated into english words that we wouldn’t have known so I was appreciative of that. And then hospitality at It’s Greek to Me-lol a throwback to the Gs which come to think of it weren’t there at the meeting on Sunday 🙁

After that, I went to RP’s place in Brooklyn for a gathering and met a whole bunch of other people! I had the most brilliant time and they are my kind of people, they like to drink whiskey and everything! We played Bbong and the loser had to have Bbundaegi (which admittedly is not that bad a byulchik but oh wells lol!)

Afterwards, we made plans to all go to this Balvenie Event in NYC for free whiskey tastings! That’s in Oct 8 🙂

I might invite a few of my own friends and we shall see how it goes!

But that gets me to this Monday-can you believe I actually cried as I waved goodbye to my mom and sisters?!

OMG I’m going to miss them so much!!

Sniff then we did this video chat today and I teared up again! OMG How am I going to last an entire month without them?!

And then today they will be getting their consults so by tomorrow night!! OMG I’m super looking forward to their results. I pray it comes out well!

And daddy went to LA-he said he arrived well and was in good spirits when I spoke with him earlier.

Sigh. Had dinner with the grandparents and then went for massages with grandma! That was one of the nicest things I think I’ve ever done with her before so I’m glad we did so!

Although my back feels like it’s all bruised up and sore. Ugh, I’m definitely going to feel it tomorrow. But hey! Atleast my knots were worked on! He definitely knew where I was stiff and worked on them the most.

And Grandma was so excited, she was like, I can get used to this haha!

But now it seems like she fell asleep on our couch so I should sign off so we can go back to their place. I’m spending the night there lol!

xoxo

hoping the time just flies by!
