..but this is just the beginning.
i-house retreat friday-saturday was insane; not like anything i'd ever done before; amazing, really. dinner on saturday with a bunch of new friends was an amazing feeling. i'll talk about it all in detail later. today was amazing as well; i really appreciated it so much. thank you first to janet, for breakfast, and to jon for helping, and everything else that came with brunch and hanging out. thank you next to becky, david, and jon again for dinner and treating me like a real pal. i hope i continue to deserve your trust and friendship. thank you for taking me out, for hanging out, for playing and chilling afterwards, for spending the whole day with me. i'm really not used to doing much for my birthdays...i was never the partying-giving type, i guess, and most often ppl don't do things..for my birthday. it's usually family or family-friend (andrew and annie ting and them) oriented. thanks guys, it really meant a lot to me.
this year is already changing a lot; good changes. i'm looking forward to almost, well basically, everything. my life is as it stands. i'm neither dissatisfied nor unhappy with it. i am getting used to the rhythm. i can allow peace to reach inside, to let anger subside. i have so much homework to do, haha, i can't believe i'm behind already. but all in all, the past 2 weeks have been amazing. i'm having a great time starting junior year. i look forward to so many things, especially showing/having jkuo around berkeley. life is going to be different without a tv, but hey...i just heard that dc++ works again at the i-house. so see what i mean? ;) things do work out. oh, the superficiality.
i want to extend my prayers to the family of a close friend right now; i give you all my love, support, and good wishes. may we all find peace...and keep everything in perspective. what's important here....is one person, and everything else, i hope everyone else is able to let go. i will be praying for you guys.
goodnight.
p.s. i should also take it upon myself to announce now that this may be one of my last posts here, at least in terms of this journal being as we know it. it will be retired soon in the near future, i think. i feel that it is finally about the right time. i have come full circle, fought a lot of inner battles, survived a lot of outer storms, and am beginning to arise again from my own ashes and from much of my own fire. soon, the thunder will be reborn.
