  • Falling leaves in New England

     leaves  It was picture perfect.....

    It's a crisp, autumn day in New England, a little bit chilly, a little bit overcast. I'm driving back to my office at the Wellesley College and see these four girls jumping into a heap of leaves they gathered together by the chapel (and by the building I work in). It totally just put a smile to my face.

    falling leaves

    Nostalgia, college days, autumn leaves, laughter, happiness, rich fall colors, vibrant yellow, glowing orange, firey red, burnt umber brown, laughing in the heap of fall colors....

    Can anyone else be any more happy? 

    p.s. friday late afternoons in Higher Education are probably one of the best days of the week... everyone is more relaxed, happier because the weekend is here, and dogginit! It's Friday. :) TGIF!!

  • 11:58PM, Cambridge, MA Summer 09, 34 and gettin' older....

    Anymore Xanga'ers out there?

    Funny how trends come and go, fads go in and go out, lollycup out, pinkberry in.

    Mid-thirties is a good year - things are less dramatic, yet more serious. things are still busy, yet more meaningful.

    It's interesting watching my friends' lives move right before my eyes on facebook photos....

    ....how we've all grown older, and have tasted the pangs of life - through our physical body, relationship torment and economic downpour.... through death, marriage, births, love, frustration, happiness, guilt, pain, moods.

    At times I wonder what I'm doing w/my life - things I questioned more often when I was in my 20s.... sometimes I get bored of my life, the same ole busyness, the same ole tired w/cavities, the same ole gettin' taken advantage of by other people (prob now mostly my fault) 

    But I love just being here, being thirty, seeing my life now.... but I wonder what's next, and why - why am I doing all this.

    Another question that nags on me is: Death.  Do I fear it? What does happen after Death? Could I ever comprehend 'forever'?

    Well - time for me now - to find a new job, find a new apt or buy a new home, find a new kickboxing routine w/fresh new music, find new friends, find a new musical....

    this is my half yearly, out w/the old, in with the new.

    good night, laddies! what a random post!

  • Dis-eharmony boy

    He sounded perfect on paper
    He was tall, dark and handsome
    He grew up as a man of faith
    He's traveled the world, like moi
    He's a good age of 36
    He's even Korean-American (imagine that)

    and--

    we finally met in person, after ONE YEAR of communicating and not being in the same state at the same time....

    it was good, it was funny, we were nervous, we had a good time.

    But 2 days later, he 'breaks up with me' over a phone message.

    He met up with his Ex the day after we met and decided to progress forward with their relationship.

    now that's what I call another "DIS-eharmony" boy.

    Bottom Line: What is the world coming to w/these COWARDLY/HEARTLESS "MEN OF GOD" ending things w/women over a voicemail (or like Carrie and Berger, over a POST-IT note) 

    (I'm tellin' ya, and as I already knew, being a Christian surely doesn't make you a better fit for someone you're interested in)


    p.s. check back on YOUTUBE in a couple of days for a recorded copy of the message he left me tonight...

  • Different Reasons On Why (I think ) People Decide To Get MARRIED

    1. Convenience

    2. We've been together THIS long - why not?? (laziness/lack of foresight/immaturity/lack of confidence in self)

    3. Similiar Family/Social Economics/Culture

    4. Time ticking

    5. Parents

    6. The Magical Sha-Zam! aka Za Za Zoom aka THE ONE

    7. Afraid will not find any better

    8. Emotional (esp. for women)

    9. Financial

    10.  Sex  (esp. for those 'saving' themselves)

    11. Timing (aka, both are 'ready')

    12. Age

    13. Society / i.e. Friends in group all getting married at the prescribed age

    14. and the most fascinating one for me now...

     A rational, sensible, more head than heart decision, MAKING A CONSCIENCE and DECISIVE CHOICE, CHOOSING THAT PERSON, because you know this is a good enough guy/girl to last you (and perhaps future family) a lifetime...

    ....maybe I shouldn't be waiting for that "za za zoom- the One!" any longer but make a conscience choice to marry someone that I've been dating, just because this person is good material to last a lifetime....good for me, and I'm good for him....
