it's been a rough week.

Andy and I drove out to Maryland Wednesday to look for apartments, which was pretty cool altho a hell of a lot of driving--13 or so hrs to get there and plenty of driving to and from apartment complexes in the DC area. My god there are some bad drivers out there. And I thought California was bad...

Maryland is like what would happen if all the freeways in California were changed to 35mph roads with stoplights. Yikes.

We were lucky enough to find a place Friday afternoon that happens to be right by the metro station with bus and train access, but our happy celebration time was cut short by a phone call.

Not 5 min after Steph called me to make some plans to go to Chicago, Andy's mom called to tell us that Grandma C. had suffered a major heart attack and died that morning. There was nothing to do but sign the lease and start driving home.

Andy's had it really rough the past month. His Grampa B. died of a long battle with cancer almost exactly a month ago, and that was hard enough. Grandma C. was in such good health--she had just gotten back from a wedding in Philedelphia and had had a really great time. No one expected her to go so quickly.

Grandma C.'s funeral was today, and although it was really hard, I think she would've been happy. All her friends and family came, and the pastor gave a really nice sermon. We had lots of pictures, and lots of good memories to share, and that helped quite a bit too.

My favorite memory of Grandma was when we went over to her house a few months ago to help her plant some flowers. Her and Grampa were in the process of remodeling the bathroom so the plumber was over, and Grandma introduced me and Andy to him as "her two grandchildren." I thought it was really sweet of her and it almost made me cry at the time. lol you can just forget about it now--I'm balling!

Anyways, Andy's off to Maryland on Thursday since he starts working on Monday already. I'll make sure he email's you all w/ his new phone number once he gets one. Call him up once in awhile, or better yet go visit him. Of course, he won't have a car to pick you up just yet if you fly in, but the train station really is just a mile down the road. :)

Or you could drive, but idk. It's abt $50 in tolls round trip and 13 hrs. Maybe when everyone's classes are over we can all carpool out there and hang out in DC for a few days. We'll see i guess.


btw i'm glad to hear from you again jo :) good luck on you're GRE too sweetie ^^

Thanks Jess!

I know I've been totally MIA for the past half a year... so i guess i'll just give u an update...
Yup, still in Korea and still at KBS... but this will be my last year...
I'm planning on going to grad school next fall... but alas, not to the states...
I really want to go to London, England... so hopefully i'll get accepted and then you guys can come visit me!
Anyway~ that's my plan for the next 2 years (journalism grad program is just one year)... and after that, only God knows...
But although London schools don't require the GRE... I am still planning on applying to schools in the states.. so Jess, I too, am taking the GREs soon! ARGH~~ I forgot all my math~~!
Anywhoo.. that's basically most of what's going on in my life~~
So with that! I'm off!
ps. i do still sing into my finger. yes.

She Is So Hott

This post may sound shallow, but remember The Sauce is like an onion- many layers. Every since the burn incident with Skeletor, things has improve slightly. I have been ignoring her at the gym with no eye contact and of course no hellos, until last week. Some how, we kept running into each at the gym at the same time (not a stalker).

Last Thursday was the best. I showed up with my work threads and damn, did I looked good. The girl was heading towards the men's locker room and of course, she saw me walking by. I completely ignored her. After changing into my gym clothes, I jumped onto the stair master. In the corner of my eye, I saw her checking me out.

Moments later, my friend Stacey shows up and joins me on the stair master. We did our thing and Skeletor gave Stacey the stare down. I hope it was the jealousy stare down because that would be so awesome. After finishing the stair master, Stacey and I did the trend-mill together. Skeletor walked right by us without saying a word to neither of us (Stacey kinda knows her), but when she got out of the women's locker I got the smile, wave, and the hello. I am making progress.

A blog post in honor of our dear friend...

JO!!!

I just wanted to say that I haven't heard from you in a while and that I miss you and hope things are going well.

Are you still with KBS? What's going on in my favorite girl-who-sings-into-her-finger's life?

;)

and now for the good news...

ANDY GOT A JOB!!!!


ANDY GOT A JOB!!!!


ANDY GOT A JOB!!!!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He's gonna be a museum technician for the USDA in Maryland near DC. It's far but not too far--definitely driveable.

As for me, one of my mom's Korean connections from taekwondo hired me at the dry cleaners last wednesday. It's not that great... pays $9 and hr and i'm surrounded by dirty clothes, but since it's a small business they're pretty flexible with me so I can take off as I need to. They also feed me. So it's not so bad.

but enough about me.

ANDY GOT A JOB!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!

for no particular reason....

I thought I would put up my favorite screenshot from the movie Ghost In the Shell: Innocence.

Enjoy.
