day 3 of 2012

i love Wednesdays because church has an evening Mandarin service which means my dad has to stay late, which THEN means i have from noon till 8pm to hang out in NYC. first two pictures are from koreantown & 34th street with my university friends. korean BBQ for lunch? not what i go for usually, but it was SOOO awesome. i am blessed to be able to afford these luxuries, not just monetarily but being healthy. i want so badly to bring my parents to good food like this, but my dad’s health isn’t so good so red meat is bad for him & my mom doesn’t like meat. oh what a simple life we live. 

also got to spend the rest of the day & night with @calemmings aka Kwok Kee aka Sabrinaaaa. hanging out at the herald youth center & then a coffee date. one-on-ones are my favorite form of friendship because THAT is when you truly begin to dig deeper into their lives. so to continue on that thread, got to practice my rusty Mando with this lady that my dad drives home every Wed back to Jersey, and that made her happy lol. therefore i got a kick in the butt to practice my Mandarin more … but all good things :) and finally, had an AWESOME & unexpected phone conversation with my future roommate & good friend about life, God, visions, dreams, and everything. 

all of these encounters and relationships are super awesome to my mental health, and what keeps me sane & striving to thrive and have purpose in life. 

three days of goodness. i’m glad this project is helping me see the GOODNESS in everyday :)
