okay, cut the weirdness & let's begin again..! (( and happy birthday to me )) //.
browsing through the overall collection of, what, ten-fifteen posts... i kinda realized that hey! this journal's been around for a whole year. and though i must apologize for my extensive absences, at least i'm making the attempt to continue what i've started. i guess i need to set standards for myself instead of excuses. i've passed school and work for my main reasons of avoiding posting on a daily (if not monthly) basis. and yeah, even though the day leaves me drained and mostly miserable - i should at least utilize any outlet available to me. so, this little journal's gonna fill in the empty space.
for starters, as of 12 o'clock this morning - i'm officially 22 years old. and within the next hour begins my new year of being such an age. i've tried defining it to a point... but to hell with it. the numbers are getting higher and the goals aren't anywhere within reach. anyway, i'm sad to report that the outcome of this day wasn't the same as the experience last year. but turning 21 was a whole other experience altogether.
the week started out rather normally but by monday and tuesday, it ended up in the pits when my friends began ditching me for other plans they made despite being notified a month beforehand of the birthday dinner i wanted to host. all i wanted was to go around china town, ktown and little tokyo, check out the korean parade that would be taking place - and probably get some dinner. nope. like hell that was gonna happen. so i was moping around work until wednesday. my mom's co-worker and somewhat of a mentor/friend, Ramona, my mom, Jean and a few neighbors that also live in the apartment threw me my first surprise birthday party. needless to say - i was really surprised. Ramona's daughter gave me a purse (which I reaallyyyy really needed.) and Jean ended up surprising me the most with this CUTE little glass box with miniature cut-outs of Jaejoong and Yunho together, next to each other. i now keep it right at my beside near my pillow on my night table.
and yes, it does say "JaeHo Yongwonhi~~" in the middle. i thought that was rather sweet of her to do... and totally unexpected.
as i thought, i knew good things hardly lasted - because the next morning on thursday the 25th, i got rear-ended and i now have to see a chiropractor tomorrow. more updates on how that'll go.
but today was very satisfactory. some of my family was with me, and they're in good health. my parents are are relatively well - but i'm completely thankful to them for all they have done. i know they try, and it really touches my heart. and my mom especially... shedding light even during the most unfortunate situations. but as for the rest of my weekend, i spent in my room mainly because i wasn't able to move - and i was honestly becoming rather nervous and fidgety because of the sudden limits i was restricted to. i wished i could have done more, but i suppose that could be made up for in the weekends to come. perhaps when my body is better, and i stop limping like a war veteran, i can make up for the time that went missing. i think this is good enough for now. i'm being hassled to go to bed anyway, because tomorrow will be my first day back at school since... well, thursday.
so, hello 22 year old me. i hope we like each other better than the last one.
