i'll miss you blogger!

lazy blogger

i did it again -- registered a domain complete with wordpress hosting/integration. i've been on blogspot/blogger for YEARS (literally... my first blog started some 10 or so years ago -_-) and it's time to move on to bigger and better things! i've been wanting to blog consistently, about pretty and interesting things, but using blogger has made me somewhat lazy. i figure if i pay for my site i'll pay more attention to it as well. plus, i really need to start exercising my creative braincells after all the numbercrunching i do... that has now become my life.

will post the URL once i have a complete product... yay for new beginnings!

work in progress

• revamping this nasty little blog
• saving funds for numerous things. imac is at the top of my list so far.
• is it worth it to pay for fonts? an idea i'm toying with.
• experimenting with light in my photography
• restyling my wardrobe
• finally bought a moodboard/corkboard and it is still in the shrinkwrap
• p h o t o s h o p / w e b d e s i g n

note to self

• donate clothes to goodwill - rid myself of the clutter
• buy clothing racks for my room. drawers don't cut it.

note to others

• all saints is amazing. late news, i know. deconstructed and almost abercrombielike perfectionism.. and the SHOES...
• chopped a good 6? or so inches of my hair off this past week. felt liberating. you should try it some time.
• you can download freeware that mimics the same functionalities of photoshop/photo editing software, but the bottom line is, it sucks. buy photoshop, skip the gimp crap. well worth your investment.

You hold me now.

On that day when I see

All that You have for me

When I see You face to face

There surrounded by Your grace

All my fears swept away

In the light of your embrace

When Your love is all I need

And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold

In Your presence here to hold

Let these songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain

No suffering

You hold me now

You hold me now

No darkness, no sickening

No hiding

You hold me now,

You hold me now

In this life finally stand

Through my joy and my pain

Knowing there's a greater day

There's a hope that never fails

When You're name is lifted high

And forever praises last

For the glory of Your Name

I'll be livin' for the day

When the world has finally ceased

All creation rest in peace

Let these songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain

No suffering

You hold me now

You hold me now

No darkness, no sickening

No hiding

You hold me now,

You hold me now

For eternity

All my heart will give

All the glory to Your name

Faith

Did You rise the sun for me?

Or paint a million stars that I might

Know Your majesty?

Is Your voice upon the wind?

Is everything I've known marked

With my maker's fingerprints?

Breathe on me

Let me see Your face

Ever I will seek You

'Cause all You are, is all I want, always

Draw me close in Your arms

Oh God, I wanna be with You

Can I feel You in the rain?

Abandon all I am to have You

Capture me again

Let the earth resound with praise

Can You hear as all creation lives

To glorify one name?

i'll admit it- i'm a bandwagon fan, and i don't follow sports unless there's a whole lotta hype behind it. ie. the olympics (winter- figureskating/kim yuna, speed skating || summer- opening ceremonies *yes, i'm a geek*, gymnastics, swimming- MICHAEL PHELPS! i'm a sucker for record breakers); baseball (wbc '09 japan/korea matchup; world series); march madness (bracket pools at work!!); football (superbowl commercials.. not so much for the game itself); nba finals (rooting for the celtics, fueled by my hatred for kobe); and now, the world cup (need i say more?).

cut to saturday morning as i grudgingly get my butt out of bed and head to Circle, the Aqua of nyc if you will, at 7 in the morning to cheer on South Korea in its first game against Greece.

yes, I know the flag is backwards :(

i can't say i regularly drink champagne & vodka any time before noon but this was an exception. booze flowing, free kimbap & cup ramen, and hundreds of Koreans decked out in their Red Devil gear-- truly an experience! i'll be back for all subsequent games, that's for sure.

making memories

last Monday was a special day for the Kim familia... my oldest bro proposed to his fiancé! it was a beautiful day in Central Park and i'm so happy to have been involved with the proposal. many thanks to my awesome bf and cousin for helping... i could not have survived the day without you guys.

cheers to Pete & Cathy~ and i absolutely can not wait for the wedding! :)
