Happy Birthday, Long!
Wherever you are, I hope you this greeting reaches you.
Thank you for being born and, even if only briefly, for being in my life.
Thanks for believing in me, more than I believed in myself.
I Love You Forever lolo...
<3, Gina

hello, september
august has totally flown by and so has my mind. but hello, (middle of) september, you are a sobering reminder of time passing by speedily.
in the past month that i have not blogged, some opportunities have closed their doors on me. (Goodbye, Sudan. Maybe you were never meant to be). And some opened up a wee bit, enough for me to have a little bit of hope (<3). I have gone back to Chicago once more, and had a BLAST this time. Which totally solidifies my belief that travels are not all about where you go, but more importantly, who you go with. For the rest of the month though, i have slacked off and lazed around unproductively - and judging by the state my room is in right now, i may have also been invaded by a hurricane. Metaphorically and physically. Haha.
My Korean is going progressively well, but my English is ironically getting bad-der. Haha. Weird. I may be going crazy soon though, for Korean is a totally foreign language. With it's own characters and rules and irregular verbs and postpositions and what nots. Totally not what i signed up for when i started, however, some of my dormant brain cells are getting revived by the challenge and it is refreshing.
Work is work and will always be work. some days bad, some days worse, then even if it is unimaginable, it even gets worse. I continue to be grumpy in the mornings and shoot deadly looks at all the people who are unbelievably alert and chirpy.. Gawwd. I am so not a morning person.
Today, I have gone back to church in what seemed like months. or rather, it has been months. And guess what? It feels good. Every sunday that i'm off i always try to go to church but somehow never managed to. Today, however, i got sick of myself and i finally went.
Time and time again God has shown great mercy and LOVE to me. Today is a great day because He has been proven right again. Today I realized that I have to trust HIM only. Not pay attention to my fears, insecurities, excuses, but to pay attention to ONLY HIM. Because out of my weakness, he will be my strength. He will, as he did today, lead me to where I am supposed to be. I only have to trust in him and make a little leap of faith so I can get there. Ahhh! I love my salvation. And the God who let me see the light and who will never let me go back to where i was.
I am inspired to get my life together and act NOW. I realize that even if i so badly want it to because I haven't got my stuff figured out yet, the world will not stop for me. I have to make my thoughts meaningful, my actions fruitful, and my days productive.
so till then dear blog. Tomorrow is a new beggining, and I am hopeful.
