Brighter Days!

currently loving my new life! a lot more quality time spent with the family (aka: mom + dad since he's back)! a lot less stress that comes with the responsibilities of caretaking my grandma. now, i know my grandma barely died a little over a week ago, and it may seem morbid and heartless to the world that i am so happy now, but i guess as a Christian, it's just knowing that she is TRULY in a better place and having a better time that makes me free guiltless being so happy =) most importantly, the hope that someday, i will see her again. it's not goodbye...it's see you later!

my mom has also decided to revamp our house. it is currently being repainted. my room has been painted a lovely shade of mauve. i didn't choose it. i wish i chose my color, but i actually find it a nice classy color. the main color of the house is green--light green to be specific with pops of darker green on some walls to give it that 3D feel. it's amazing how a little paint can totally transform the ambiance of our house. it's feel so much warmer and so elegant. my brother said, "it feels like i'm white." hahaha. i guess it is true. asians don't usually repaint their house...or most of the ones i know. the younger, hipper ones are a different story. it is usually caucasians that repaint their walls. haha. my brother has opted to color his room a bright light blue. it makes me feel like i'm in a 5 year old's room. my mom says that it makes her feel like she's "unda tha sea." possible decor may include 1) a spongebob clock 2) glow in the dark fishes 3) drawn in seaweed.

i'm also loving the fact that i can catch up with so many old friends. i've recently met up with Jessica Cheng right before she embarked on her medical adventures in Zimbabwe! it's funny because one of my dreams is to go to Africa for a medical trip or something...funny that she's going. on a not very related, but kind of related note...i'm worried about medical school. i've heard so many people who are so much more qualified than i am not making it into ANY schools. what makes me think i can stand a chance against them if they have more research, more experience, better writing, and better grades? :\ sigh. prayer prayer prayer!

going back to school on Sunday! i'm sad, but it's my last quarter. gotta do my best. workout, lose 10lbs so i can fit into clothes better lol, study, work, pray! let's do this!
