Day 15-24
I apologize for being MIA for so long. I sort of lost inspiration and became very distracted, but I hope to turn yet another leaf and jump right back into this again.
Failures
1. keeping fresh flowers alive. i bought beautiful blue hydrangeas. they died on me once i got home
2. eating a sufficient and versatile amount of food. i've realized that my diet was only carbs and dairy, which made me feel very weak and lightheaded. the consequences of being lazy!
3. reading all my library books before they're due :( but i highly recommend the book The Best Advice I Ever Got by Katie Couric. it's very inspirational and motivating!
4. finishing Just Kids by Patti Smith. i guess i'm going to have to buy the book since everyone in NYC wants to borrow it from the library. there is a gigantic waiting list of holds that i prefer not to attempt
Successes
1. coming to terms with the fact that i am a neat-organized-control freak. i literally spend maybe 1/4 of my day cleaning my apartment. i hope this doesn't become an OCD thing...
2. also, coming to terms with the fact that i am pathetic--i get excited whenever i walk into staples and go to the organization sections with all the post-its, planners, journals, etc. ESPECIALLY the Martha Stewart collection.
3. had an amazing picnic with The Guy at Prospect Park in Brooklyn! perfect weather, plenty of food, and some awesome kites. i got to wear my favorite dress of all time, which also served as my prom dress. here's a picture!

and for those Girls fans out there, this dress serves as my version of Marni's "party dress"
4. i managed to burn myself again, while making cheesecake.
5. finally made my hyped up cheesecake. The Guy (or his new nickname "Capellini") approved
6. going back home to Chicago for some quality family time. it was indirectly my dad's idea. my family is very unaffectionate. it might be a Korean/Asian thing. we never say that we love each other, hug or anything like that. so my dad's way of telling me that he missed me was by asking me if i was coming home any time soon every time he called me. he could tell that i was reluctant about coming home so he even came up with some excuses for me to come home, such as going to the dentist, the eye doctor, etc. so, i decided to visit home right before i would start school again. it works out perfectly because my best friend has been going through a difficult time in her life so i've devised an elaborate plan to surprise her :)

Girls Girls Girls
Today, was a day about Girls. the HBO show (which i'm officially obsessed with) as well as my girlfriends. i'm pretty honored that everyone has been venting to me and coming to me for advice about:
relationships relationships relationships.
no lie, i've been vented to about 4 different people's relationships today, which is perfectly fine. i'm all for giving out advice. i just find it so ironic? or fascinating. i honestly don't even know what to say. i'm at a loss for words because of how ridiculous my life seems to be right now. it just seems as if my life is surrounded by relationships. everyone is having this kind of relationship or that kind of relationship. i've realized that every relationship is unique in its own way, which makes it difficult for me to give out advice sometimes. i'm not the predictor of the future and relationships shouldn't necessarily be categorized. the mystery of true love is that no one really knows much about it. there is no concrete evidence. just subjective. feelings, emotions, senses, thoughts. i guess you can say that we're blindly groping our way around to figure out what this love really is. the love that everyone is after. now, i'm starting to get a little philosophical...
but, i do always wonder, what really makes a successful relationship? how does true love work? is there a specific formula or route? overanalyzing it is probably not the best path to take; therefore, i try to focus on the present. don't worry about the future until the present becomes the future. since i work for a cupcake store i imagine my customers eating their cupcakes. think about the process of eating a cupcake. you don't worry about the end after having eaten the cupcake before you eat it, you just focus on how good it tastes and the smile it brings to your lips. in other words, if things are going well, don't search for problems or mistakes. just be happy and be grateful

Day 14?
Losing track of the days...must stop procrastinating!
Failures
1. being friendly to customers. i was just not having it. i apologize to whoever encountered my moodiness that day
2. finding my way around in brooklyn. having an iPhone would've helped i admit, but i still refuse to give in
3. taking care of my body. lately, i haven't been eating properly, drinking enough water, and taking my vitamins; therefore, leading to sickness
Successes
1. regaining my composure
2. surviving my double shift (10 hours)
3. welcoming The Guy home by bringing him cupcakes from work after he his horrendous traveling experience
4. almost fainting on the street. i was on my way to dinner and thought i was fine after not eating the entire day until i started to sway and almost tipped over from walking. i was also pretty dehydrated after alternating between vodka and wine the night before

A Day Late 13
Failures
1. conquering a gigantic moth. it flew into the store and chased me into a corner. whoever was watching the cameras in the BBM office were probably hysterically laughing
2. being patient. keeping my cool. (explanation below)
Successes
1. beating the summer hail storm so as not to get my hydrangeas wet. chicka-chicka-yeahhhh
2. catching up with Bridge_titz over margs, who's finally back from her visit across the pond!
3. cleaning, preparing, putting in lots of effort into welcoming The Guy back home. my efforts have turned into failures however. his layover in Chi-city was delayed until this afternoon. it's ironic because my dad works at O'Hare on the night shift and The Guy was there longer than my dad was.
4. stopping myself from throwing out the cupcakes i bought to be dramatic
5. losing it. yes. huge success.
