Summer 2005

So! Here I am in Seoul, Korea. It feels weird after being in Florence for such a long time. Everything here seems so big and…modern. But despite the FEW days I’ve been here, I’m already missing Florence. No more Piazza Signoria, Piazza Repubblica, Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, and etc., for another year or so. BOO-frikkity-HOO. *just click on pics to see larger pics*

Here I am over at Moon’s house. She arrived in Korea around 4am and called me at 6am, waking me up………..But it’s the thought that counts. Now she’s dozing off on her bed because of jetlag and I’m using her virus-free computer like craaaaaaaaaaaazy. Her two dogs are so adorable. Look at her long-haired Chihuahua!!!

Anyway, I was surfing through her pictures and I can’t help noticing how INNOCENT we looked just one year ago. Now all of us look old and stressed out.

Sigh…I guess that’s what happens to girls our age going through a lot of shit. Me and Moon were discussing how we should go to an amusement park or just do childish things for oldsakes and also to try to act more our age and not contemplate such "deep" problems. :) Hehe.

Anyway, the summers here are always SO dramatic, but I hope this summer flys by and is nice and peaceful~

This is so boring. But I’m so bored. Sorry :P.

PS. I took out my tongue ring. FUCK. I’m about to cry. :(

*April 1, 2005*

I made a big mistake on this day. I took for granted all the things I had. I wasn’t thinking straight. I believed that all the problems in my life weren’t going to just fade away. And so I made a choice. It was the wrong choice, but I made it anyway.

I was so lucky that day that God was on my side. By a stroke of luck, my wrong choice was corrected. I was also rescued by a few friends that I hold really near to my heart now. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t know how I could have survived that ordeal. As well as my parents, who were always there for me, and yet I made the stupid choice and disappointed them so much. I’m so sorry to anyone who was affected by what happened this day.

I’m so sorry but also so thankful, because I learned my lesson. No matter how big my problems are, there is always a way to solve them. No matter how bad things get, there are people there for you who are willing to help you.

I’m so sorry and I’m so grateful. You guys know who you are.

argh enough seriousness now.

dude..im sucha blog whore..hahaha kring like i call u! "internet trend whore." so here i am. in a friggen internet cafe. in the center. near my apartment. how SAD. so much shit has happened i dunno where to begin. i made a mistake. a stupid mistake. i made a choice to do something i shouldnt have even thought of doing. but i did it. i guess we’re only human. we all make mistakes. i just wish i could turn back the hands of time and alter the event that happened that day. but since i can’t, i’ll just live with the consequences.

Mine_1 <- my bedroom. so now i live in the center. near piazza signoria. fuckin awesome. but i miss my roomies (MICA!! MARIE!! GO YOON!!) so much. i’m the only freshmen living off campus!! how cool is that. but it gets lonely. ARGH. everything is just so fuckin paradoxical. View

<- view from my bedroom. it’s so frustrating at night hearing all these drunk american students shouting absurdities at each other, laughing, having fun…while im stuck in my room doing my hw. i’m under such tight guard now. i’m not stupid. i won’t make the mistake again. but some ppl just don’t trust me (AKA NYU)…Bathroom

<-my bathroom. HELL YES. one thing i’m so happy that tears are literally brimming in my eyes is that i have a huge bathroom to myself.!! yes yes yes no more showering in 5 minutes for my other roomies! i can be a spoiled biznatch while i’m in this lil haven of a bathroom.

anyway. i don’t have any more pictures to steal from mica’s xanga site (thanks mica :P) only 3 weeks or so left in florence. what am i going to do till then? study i guess. and sneak out to clubs (muhaha - i cannot be stopped). and try and stay sober. alcohol is going to be the death of me. my poor squishy unhealthy liver. sigh. it’s going to be hard living here for 3 more weeks. like i said. paradoxical!!!!!! so much irony in my life. i want to leave this place and forget it. but i also want to stay and live here forever. i want to see all my bestfriends and chill with them, but then again i don’t want to leave florence

ok this is way too long. but i guess all i can say is…i’m still way too young. i have so many more things to see in my life. i shouldn’t think that i’ve seen or experienced it all. shit happens. i have to learn how to deal with it. it’s hard. it gets harder everyday. every minute that passes by i feel like breaking down and crying. but i won’t. i’ll stay strong. at least i hope i can…FUCK. ok gotta go :D
