the watchmen

The movie was okay. The graphics were freaking amazing but I think they over did it with the length. Just poor editing? With all the hype, I think people were generally expecting something different. But it was good to hear that the die hard fans just loved it because it was so true to the book. I personally thought it was un-necessary for the blue character to be walking around naked the whole movie but John was able to see the reference to Adam, before the fall.

The Dream Giver

Sometimes people ask how I know with certainty that God exists. I know He exists cause I can say without a doubt in my mind that my entire life has been a testimony about Him and what He can do in your life. With that said. It’s not easy being a Christian. I think it’s one of the hardest things to be in life.

Recently, I have been struggling with where I am in life. I know my passion and dream isn’t to be the best “number” person, I know I don’t enjoy my job. I love my company and the people I work with and all the perks that comes from being part of such a great team, but in all honesty, I hate what I do.

Five years ago, soon after my wedding, I had a chance to leave my field. I took a year off. Tried to start a flower/event planning company. It didn’t work. And now I’m really longing to follow my passion/dream again and don’t know if I’d be willing and able to make the kind of sacrifices that it would mean for me to do so. I would have to leave my comfortable job, making decent money and basically jump into the unknown. Who wants to do that? Clearly, not me!

But I’ve been getting “signs” of sorts. Not to bore you with details but I’ve been getting signs. One of them was this book. I had visited my old Pastor, while I was visiting LA and I just recently received a book from him called “The Dream Giver.” What does this mean? I am more confused than ever....

Synopsis : Welcome to a little story about a very big idea. This compelling modern-day parable tells the story of Ordinary, who dares to leave the Land of Familiar to pursue his Big Dream. You, too, have been given a Big Dream. One that can change your life. One that the Dream Giver wants you to achieve. Does your Big Dream seem hopelessly out of reach? Are you waiting for something or someone to make your dream happen? Then you’re ready for The Dream Giver. Let Bruce Wilkinson show you how to rise above the ordinary, conquer your fears, and overcome the obstacles that keep you from living your Big Dream. You were made for this. Now it’s time to begin your journey.

ROB!!!!!! Where art thou???????

Okay, so it's been some time. Did I mention that I have a full time job doing number thing? Anywho, was in LA for about 10 days at the end of February. It was great seeing friends and eating good food and it was just nice being somewhere warm.

One of the funniest shows on TV was a show called "Rob and Big," and although I don't know what actually happened to Big, Rob started another so called, Rob's Fantasy Factory. So one of the big "mission" that we had during our stay was to find the actual physical location of this factory. We never did. Cha Cha was absolutely no help and even after researching thru some online blogs, we were not successful. Gina wanted to drive around down town LA looking for the space, but we evenutally just ran out of time I think.

marc jacobs with my budget

I usually can't afford to buy much at Marc Jacobs without my husband getting upset. However, here are some items that I found at their "special store" store, all under $50 and some of them even under $10. Yes, this is how I roll....

manhattan portage bags

I grew up wearing penny loafters, buying clothes from "gap", not "GAP", and carried around Manhattan Portage bags. I think I've owned total of maybe 10 Manhattan Portage bags in my life. And I think I still have maybe 3 in my closet somewhere.

So as I was driving around Soho today, a small piece of me let out a big *sigh* while looking at the MP retail store with its lights turned off and its shutters down and locked. I'll have to remember to have couple of drinks for my small obsessions that are slowly being killed by the "times."

persimmons

It's funny how I forget that I am Korean and most people I interact with on daily basis are not. So today I met people who have never seen or tasted persimmons before in their lives. I don't know why I get suprised by such things....maybe my narrow-minded shelter view is to blame.

jack purcells

I can't even begin to tell you how much i loved my jack purcells. I didn't buy it cause they were cool or the hip thing to do, I bought them cause i was innately just drawn to them like moth to a flame.... Here are some old school ones and some new ones that i am thinking about investing again....
