Highlights of my Day... Sunday, April 29

1. It’s ironic how in such an intense moment of emotion and heartache, something so beautiful can emerge and how tears of sadness can suddenly open your eyes to a whole new way of viewing things and can become tears of happiness. Today, I got into an argument in which I said something totally uncalled for. Leave it to me to put my foot in my mouth. Anyway, as soon as I said it, I regretted it, but then something so amazing happened. With tears streaming down and our hearts pounding, I then understood him and he instantly went from being cute to being so incredibly beautiful. I was amazed!
2. People’s Magazine has officially placed singer Rain on their list of “Most Beautiful People”, making him the first South Korean to make their list. I beg to differ though. I can name one Korean who should be on that list, for sure! No,… it isn’t Hyun Bin. I’m talking about a real, I-know-him, Korean.
3. No… I’m NOT referring to Mi Nam…hehehe.
4. Turns out Mi Nam doesn’t learn things so easily and is quite the brave boy. Today he chewed on yet another lighter. I had left it on the couch and he grabbed it… POP! Ya, he jumped a mile. He’s Danger-Boy!!!
5. Spent most of the evening stressing over marking student midterms, quizzes, workbooks, and then having to record all the marks in the computer.
6. I admit it, later in the evening when I was home alone and Mi Nam was sleeping, I started thinking about the situation with my friends, specifically Byung Hyuk. But then it hit me, why should I be sad?! If he wants to leave me, okay, go and leave me. I don’t want a friend that gives up so easily on me.
7. Much later in the evening, say around 11pm, I went up to the 14th floor balcony… that’s where I usually go to clear my head. Anyway, I got thinking again and then realized, I have a pretty awesome life and so to waste my time on people who are only trying to pull me down just isn’t right or healthy. It was once said to me that no one can make you feel any less than you are unless you let them, and I agree. And so, I started thinking about who I am.
8. I’m a 26 year old talented, intelligent woman. I’m a dedicated university professor to about 200 awesome students, an outgoing team player to some pretty cool co-workers, a positive big “sister” to Giggle Girl, Jane and Jenny who totally adore and admire me, a true friend to those who respect me and understand my worth, a healthy and strong athlete, a powerful role model to others, a talented musician, a striving trilingual language student. An honest girlfriend to a beautiful man who loves me, a beloved daughter to a beautiful mother who taught me how to be proud of myself, a hardworking daughter to an intelligent father who taught me how to earn success, a successful sister to two successful brothers, a fun mother to a dog who can’t seem to get enough of me, and an all-round good girl.
9. And so, if “they” don’t want to be my friend and think they can find someone better… go ahead. I’m in NO position to beg for friendship. I’d rather have no friends than fake friends. God has definitely blessed me with some pretty awesome friends though!
10. Someone once told me that people come into your life for one of three reasons… a minute, a moment, or a lifetime. Having said that, it’s obvious things happen for a reason and so maybe my time with him was suppose to end here, I don’t know. But what I do know is that tomorrow, friend or no friend, I will still wake up and find reasons to smile. This is just a bump in the road, but the road doesn’t end here. It continues regardless of whether or not they’re on it or not.
