Birthdays

Over the years and more so recently, I have come to realize how much pleasure I take in planning events, especially birthday surprises. Like others, I feel the anxiety and pressure as we inch closer to the date and time. In fact, the very moment everyone yells surprise, I’m positive my heartbeat matches the birthday person, my palms get sweaty and I feel the jitters. But right after that second of realization, followed by laughter (and the occasional tears)...that relief just feels so good.

네목소리

If the sky was falling and you were to say to me, “Hey! It’s gonna be okay” I would still believe you. Maybe I’m going crazy. Maybe there’s something wrong with my ears. But when I hear your voice I don’t just hear the words you say - I feel comfort, reassurance and an aura of hope.

Pleasure is partly a production of space, and nothing is naturally sexy

We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.'

Like a K-drama

You walked into my life like a K-drama. Our paths crossed and I literally fell for you. You were the perfect "beanpole", a nickname given to every male lead with a thin figure and long legs. But just like how every drama finishes airing and you move on to the next one without ever knowing the very end of the main characters, it's okay to move on, too. Sometimes the OST comes on in your playlist and you reminisce about your favorite scenes from the show. It's like you're watching your memories play out in front of you, but from an outsider perspective. And it's really okay.

I've been sharing a room with eight year old Rainie since I've been back in NYC. As an innate courtesy I was making both our beds in the morning. This lasted for a week until I realized she should be disciplined to make her own bed - a good habit she can incorporate into her routine. This is how our dialogue went one night. Me: Rainie, do you see any difference between your bed tonight versus this morning? R: Yea, it looks neater. Me: Do you want to see how your bed looked like when you left this morning? (Throws the blanket in the most crumbled looking way - R giggles.) So every morning from now on I want you to make your bed like this. Okay, sweetie? She finally agreed after I declared her excuses of not having time and strength invalid. The next morning I wake up after she has gone downstairs for breakfast before school and the bed was made. It's been made ever since.

Exactly one month from today I will be on a long flight back "home". Home is where you feel the most comfortable. You have no inhibitions, you're vulnerable, you don't have any guards up. Then why is it that every time I travel I get homesick for Tokyo? 21 months ago I left my heart in Tokyo. 15 months ago I came back to collect it. Now my soul longs to stay in this city - I yearn for its comfort, convenience, efficiency, kindness, shame, tolerance and so much more. I've grown attached. Yet in one month I must detach myself and leave without any more lingering thoughts. It's cruel isn't it?

The sexiest kind of relationship in this world is true friendship between a man and woman.

WISH UPON A STAR

Tomorrow is Tanabata. Since I first heard of it a few years ago, I always had the impression that it’s similar to Valentines Day. Couples should celebrate by looking at stars and making a wish - usually for health, happiness and to be together forever. In Japan, children write their wish on a piece of paper and hang it on a bamboo tree. These wishes are then burned so that they will come true, a custom totally different from what I had fathomed. There are many variations to the legend behind this holiday depending on culture. The general story is about star-crossed lovers who can only meet on this day with the help of magpies who form a bridge between them. However, if it rains the magpies cannot gather, and thus the lovers will have to wait another year.

Unfortunately, this day happens to be during rain season in Japan. The odds are evidently not in their favor.

There are always two sides to the coin, to the story, to everything. 1. You wouldn't want to ruin a friendship. 2. If you don't try, you'd never know. People frequently confuse friendship for love. You get the warm fuzzy feeling when you see them. When they do nice things for you or tease you or get closer to you, it makes you wonder - "does he/she like me?" But isn't that how it should be with close friends too? True friends laugh together, miss each other, look forward to meeting each other and love each other unconditionally. Who dares to draw the definitive line between friendship and romance?

This might be the best thing I’ve seen in a while: A reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan to a pretty girl seeking a rich husband A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum: Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy? I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25...

When you shut off your emotions and find the one you should latch on to, it's gonna be hatred and revenge whether you like it or not. That is what's gonna happen from this moment on.

I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
