Mai — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:18:16 +0000

Because I do not know what to post, but I feel the need to update, I shall answer this long and random survey. It’s pretty lame and overall dull, but I know you will read it. =)

Name something you are doing tonight?
Pulling an all-nighter. My sleeping schedule is pretty much in tune with Asia’s.

How many hours did you sleep last night?
6 (if you count the hours that lapsed into the day).

Is there anyone you trust who you shouldn’t?
Yes. My dad.

Is there someone you can’t stop thinking about?
Nope?

When someone walks out of your life, do you go after them or let them go?
Based on all the people who have walked out of my life (and I have not gone after them), I would say no.

If you’re being extremely quiet what’s it mean?

Can you live a day without TV?
Of course. I’m already IV-ed to a laptop, so I’m all good.

If you could go back in time and change things, would you?
Yes. I’d probably eat healthier as a young teenager and make wiser choices.

If you could seek revenge on someone would you?
Nope.

What were you doing at 8:00 this morning?
“8:00-this-morning” does not exist for me. There is no such thing.

Have you ever been around someone that was high?
Yes; I direct our very young Praise Team at church, and the drummer (my little 14 year old bad-boy wannabe cousin) was high (just last week). I wanted to beat him up with the drumsticks, but didn’t because I am one who practices patience.

Did you have a good birthday last year?
I think so.

Is your hair curly?
Naturally, yes, but it’s a pretty half-assed “curly”.

Do you like someone who doesn’t know you like them?
Um…yes… what a strange question. LOL

Is there something you want to tell someone?
Yes! Oh, the agony of not being able to tell!

Is there someone you’re really disappointed in lately?
Mmmhmm. *points at self*

Is there someone you’ll never forget?
Yep.

Is there a girl/boy that knows mostly everything about you?
Sadly, yes.

Where were you last night?
My bedroom.

Where will you be this weekend?
At church and then at a reception hall (running around being a photographer).

Have you ever held hands with someone?
Yes.

Have you changed this year?
No. I wanted to. Damn it.

Have you ever kissed someone who’s name started with an “L”?
Babies don’t count, do they?

Do you know anyone named Matt?
A few of them.

Last beverage you consumed?
Water.

What did you realize today?
That I am burnt out by overactiveness in one too many things, and a bit disheartened by a few other things.

My grandma scolding/lecturing my mom for going out of town when there’s a big family ceremony [this Sunday] to prep for.

Do you have a tan?
I don’t think so, no.

At my grandma’s place, then dragged around to several grocery stores by my aunt before coming home to gather my things to go to church for Praise Team practice (followed by a visit to Pho #76, which I am tired of repeating by now. Why do I even bother with such tedious surveys?!).

Who LAST made you laugh?
Jerry, Calida, and Iaka

What song is on right now?

random quote-of-the-day

Mai — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 09:54:43 +0000

This one is not so random, but more so chosen by me after clicking the left button a few times. I’ve been thinking a lot these days about the future while every other thing I hear is to not think about the future. Why is that so hard to believe? I like being in control, but control is hardly the issue here.

There are two kinds of friendship: one is genuine affection, the other is the inability to refuse.

Saving Hwanhee…

Mai — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:09:33 +0000

It’s been a while since we updated this blog. Life got in the way, big time. So to end off the year, a convo:

Samshik-ah!

Mai — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 13:05:08 +0000

I was just thinking how I’d suddenly developed a Samshik craze in the last week or so. It’s sort of calmed down a little, but I guess it’s because I hadn’t really watched every single minute of MNIKSS that I felt compelled to finish the rest on youtube. I have a thing about guys with proper hair, so Hyun Bin in his Samshik look was perfect.

Then it got me thinking why most of us are so hung up on the male leads in dramas. Maybe it’s because most of them are good-looking, and whatever they do invariably follows drama logic, which means their actions can be explained one way or another, which makes it more bearable when you understand why someone does a certain thing. Can’t be said of real life, though, when people hurt you for reasons you don’t know or understand, or maybe they didn’t have a reason to do what they did at all.

Maybe that’s why we like to watch dramas. Life is easier that way.

random quote-of-the-day

Mai — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 23:05:55 +0000

One of my favorite websites to visit from time to time is Generation Terrorists. It contains billions of quotes from all sorts of prose, poetry, songs, books, films, etc. I just hit the “Random Quote” generator on the left-hand side while thinking of myself in my head and whatever quote comes up, that is the one I ponder for the day. That being said, I just woke up, showered, and now it’s time to think.

(Ok, so I cheated cause I didn’t like the first two I got, but here goes the third one…)

Death is nature’s way of telling you to slow down.

about [fear of] marriage

Mai — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 13:21:42 +0000

Mai says:

ok, the other night

Mai says:

i was lying on my bed

Mai says:

Mai says:

but i was looking at my little 2-tier bookshelf and my cd shelf and my desk

Mai says:

and i went, “OMG MARY. I DO NOT WANT TO GET MARRIED. WHERE AM I GOING TO PUT ALL MY STUFF?!”

Mai says:

cause it’s good if you marry a guy who is independent and he has his own place and there’s lots of room

Mai says:

but it’s a whole different story if he’s still living with his mom and dad and taking care of them too (plus his own siblings!)

Mai says:

Mai says:

and all his stuff

Mai says:

and then you bring all your stuff

Mai says:

Mai says:

lol.. it was a random moment, but i was terrified

Mai says:

*HUGS ALL MY THINGS*

Mai says:

Mai says:

IF I GET MARRIED I WANT MY OWN ROOM

Mai says:

Mai says:

Jun says:

Mai says:

minwoo: “uh, honey, are you getting paid to make all those little things on your computer?”
