in the midst of my struggles, last night's alicia keys concert was a welcomed break.

one very very very talented beautiful woman!
i was inspired and strangely comforted by her songs....
especially when she was on the piano, her fingers can work some magic!

one song in particular struck accord with a lot of the women in the audience (jina can vouch for me on this)

superwoman - alicia keys

Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

not that i am a superwoman, but before alicia sang this song she made a comment about how some days you just wake up feeling blue and nothing can really cheer you up. then in those times, you must say to yourself what you really want to hear. remind yourself of who you are.

i really liked that.

i am God's beloved and He is pleased with me

so my mumsy's been learning how to use the computer since sometime last year.
she's been bugging me to put those korean font stickers on the laptop so she can learn and use the internet to surf the web and check out her school website and make comments etc...

the other night, when she was home alone (brother and i were working at joa), because our cable was down, she decided to practice her typing skills on word

this is her work...

우리 어머니는 사랑스럽습니다.

언제나 생각도 없이 명랑 합니다 때때로 마니마니 웃깁니다 지치고 힘들때 우리 엄마 뻣뻣한 엣쓰라인 춤은 정말 웃지 않고는 베길수가없답니다. 각종 이벤트 는 엄마에 무기입니다 또 음식은 몸에 좋다면 어떤 일이있어도 우리에게 먹이고 맙니다. 참 끈질긴 엄마입니다. 그런연고로 젊은 날 부터 지금 까지 쉬지 않고 새벽 재단을 . 기도를 하십니다. 엄마 하나님이 부르시는 그날까지 믿음으로 건강하게 사시기를 하나님께 기도드립니다. 올해는 꼭 하나님께서 울 엄마에 간절한 기도를 들어주실줄 믿읍니다. 믿음에 배필들을 만나서 좋은 가정을 꾸리고 잘들살아 주는것이 가장 큰 소원이랍니다. 사랑에 우리하나님 우리 엄마 소원의 기도 들어주실줄 믿고 감사 드립니다. 때로는 힘들고 어려운 일이 있을찌라도 믿음으로 웃음. 웃기면서 즐거움을 끼치면서 수시로 각종 이벤트를 열어가면서 친구들과 사이좋게 싸우지말고 잘 노세요. 어머니날이 몇일 안남았드라구요/ 우리딸이 이벤트 선물이 무엇인지 태레비젼에서 다봤다구요 몰라요 내이름은 펄 유 입니다요. 쨘쨘짠/ 얏…호/ 때로는 상당히 무식한데도 용감하게 씩씩하게 뻔뻔스럽게 나아 가시다니 귀엽습네다레. 암튼 울 엄마 화이팅……/ 행복하소서…

she's a funny lady...
i lava her so much! gash...

happy pre-mother's day!~

it's been 6 years since i first started working in this space that has become so attached to me.
so weird how i have this sense of entitlement over something that's not even mine to begin with.
that goes to show the greediness of my heart...

everything's coming down one by one

my amelie poster that's been hanging out with me since the beginning
my silly window hangings
liz's schedule
christmas lights

what a gloomy monday morning.

just reading through the bible...

Deut. 8:2-3 “Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that come from the mouth of the Lord.”

in the desert

Lord i want to yearn for You
i want to burn with passion
over You and only You
Lord i want to yearn

-yearn shane and shane

let the fun begin!

read this in today's AMNY which i thought was funny...

Who is the best person to bring gown shopping?
Someone whose opinion means the most to you and someone you trust the most. You want someone who has a positive energy, someone who wants only the best for you. Sometimes there's some negative energy brought by friends who might be jealous of your happiness or of your engagement.

What position should a bride stand in to look slimmer in photos?
If you have a bride who has a belly, I would turn her 70 degrees to the right, bring her back just a little bit and lean her toward the camera.
(this i must remember!)

going to a vera wang trunk show today with my recently engaged unns kkkkkkk

it's going to be so much FUN!

comforted to know that...

Another deep truth I have learnt, and one we can all cling to, is that God is personally interested in us as individuals and that He will engineer our circumstances and daily lives so that He can thereby make us like Jesus. This takes the sting out of much that could otherwise hurt. He allows various accidents and happenings to occur, which will affect us deeply, perhaps, only so that, through them, we may be drawn closer to Himself.

- Dr. Helen Roseveare from Give Me This Mountain

to know that God is in charge of my daily life helps me to understand and gives meaning to my sometimes tiresome /mundane day

on my way to work this morning, i was listening to the sound tracks to WICKED (broadway musical), which made me wanna go see it again. at one point i got really emotional and almost cried...

ELPHABA:
I'm through with accepting limits,
'Cuz someone says they're so!
Some things I cannot change,
but 'till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
loosing love, I guess I've lost!
Well, if thats love, it comes at much to high a cost!
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodby!
I'm defying gravity, and you can't pull me down!

i think i'm about to go try my luck in the lottery for tickets again...

A Day to Forget

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:51:55 GMT

on my plane ride to sunny CA (which by the way has been rainy) i read an article in time mag on how the best gift for Valentine's Day is to ignore it altogether.

so i just wanted to share (even though Vday has come and gone already)

For many of us, though, Valentine's Day only pretends to celebrate what we like about love while actually undermining it. True romance comes unscheduled, unruly, "a madness most discreet," quoth Romeo....

That's why the holiday lends itself so nicely to ridicule. Valentine's day has inspired its own insurgency, "Singles Awareness Day," in which the unattached celebrate their solitude with a saucy "Happy SAD day." Any holiday that triggers guerrilla opposition should give us pause....

There's nothing wrong, of course, with delighting in love and honoring friendship and stopping in the bleak midwinter to tickle the people we love. But it's also a good sign of psychosocial health if the day just saunters by and winks, ad you feel no need to pay attention. The minute it feels like a duty, it has lost its purpose. "Love sought is good," Shakespeare observed, "but given unsought is better."

by Nancy Gibbs

서른쯤에...

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 19:30:34 GMT

또 하루 멀어져 간다
내뿜은 담배 연기처럼
작기만 한 내 기억 속에
무얼 채워 살고 있는지

점점 더 멀어져 간다
머물러 있는 청춘인 줄 알았는데
비어 가는 내 가슴속엔
더 아무 것도 찾을 수 없네

계절은 다시 돌아오지만
떠나간 내 사랑은 어디에
내가 떠나 보낸 것도 아닌데
내가 떠나 온 것도 아닌데

조금씩 잊혀져 간다
머물러 있는 사랑인 줄 알았는데
또 하루 멀어져 간다
매일 이별하며 살고 있구나

오늘아침 테레비젼 에 나온 어느 연륜 많은 한 연극 배우가 말했다

나이가 지극히 든 지금이 더 좋다고

그 누가 청춘으로 다시돌려 보내준다고 해도 지금 이대로가 좋다고

세월이 가르쳐준 그지혜와…또 모든것을 즐기며 이해할수있는 지금이 좋다고

지난주일 우리 목사님 말씀중에

나이가 들면서 하나님께 드리는 예배가 더더욱 경건해지고

예배에 참 미 를 느낄수 있다고 하셨다

가끔식 어린 친구들이 물어본다

언니 서른이 되니 어떻수?

나에 답은 언제나 그렇다…

글쎄… 그때나 지금이나인것 같아.

서른이 됐다고 뭐 대수냐…

하지만 스무살땐 몰랐던 그 뭐랄까…

삶이 보인다…

뭐가 내게 중요하고 또 내가 뭘 원하는지

그게 더 또렷히 보이는것 같다

세상에 물들지 않고

사람에 의견에 휩쓸리지 않고

나만에 신념, 개념

전혀 부끄럽지 않고 당당하게 살아가는 날 발견 하는것 같다
