i've been delaying this 'it' thing for a while.. i really didn't have too much to say..
but here it goes..
1. i will be vising mn june 21-july 2nd.. flying back to philly. then off to korea.
2. yes, i'm moving to korea to teach english at a private school. no,
i'm not korean (so many people ask me that).. i don't know anything
about korea or being korean.. heck, i don't even like kimchi.. i am
going to take korea 411 from shoua, simple korean language from
peter... read lots of literature..
3. i don't really care what anyone thinks.. cept for me moma.. my
weakeness is her.. so if you want me to do something, get her to ask me!
4. yesterday was my bday... i freaken locked myself out of my place
while i was watering my plants on the balcony.. great start to being
23, eh!
5. i watch the news every morning and night..
6. i believe in God.. his plans for me.. he works in mysterious ways and everthing happens for a reason..
7. i'm the most blunt person you'll probably ever meet.. i'll tell you how it is..
8. i cherish life, time, children, pictures, food and books... the
most.. i never go through 5min without thinking about these things..
9. first impressions ARE it.. my critics say i don't give alot of second chances.. they might be right.. i've learned to not waste life away..
10. compassion is my drive, love is my purpose.. and service is my action..
i talked to my moma today. i love her. she is the greatest moma ever. i would not be the person i am without her and the lessons that she has taught me. i explained to her why i am going to korea and how i felt it was going to better my career, education and overall self. she was concerned about 'getting my life ready.' i told her that right now its the best time to go and i am not anywhere near marriage. i haven't dated anyone for more than two months. i assured her that this is what i want and shared to her my vision of my future. we ended up talking about alot of things.. marriage, dating, children.. life and problems among hmong youth. i signed the contract and sent it!
right now, i'm just so thankful to have her blessings.
"Making choices about your life based on what you think other people
want you to do is not only unhealthy, it's unwise. No one knows what is
best for you better than you yourself, so stop listening to the
know-it-alls who just love to hear themselves talk. Trust yourself --
even if you make a mistake, it will be one that will teach you an
important lesson. It'll also help you avoid that same pitfall next
time. Independent thinking is not only healthy -- it is wise!"
