Tears

I am thankful for my tears, in both sorrow and joy. Because they mean I care.

The hardships in life

Without them, we could never grow and learn. Without them we could never really appreciate the accomplishments of life. Without them we would not shine. Like that popular saying: stars need darkness in order to shine

Breakfast

I wake up so hungry now in the mornings! I normally get hungry by 9 am but I'm hungry by 630! So blessed to have food or access to food whenever I feel hungry

S

Food

To calm down a roaring stomach and to calm down a stressed out medical student.

The idea of boards in 144 days is already stressing me out.

Food = comfort = the source of my happiness and depression

Happiness = it soothes me

Depression = regret all the ice cream or… chocolate I just ate hahahaha ;)

Oh well. I am blessed to have food in my fridge and pantry. Thank you Lord!

S

Water

To nourish our bodies, steer away our cravings (for about 10 minutes until we finally give), and help us move the toxins along =)

S

Alarm clocks

So essential…Even though I curse inside my head whenever you go off at 630 AM, I still love you because you get me to my 8 AM class in time.

Shaun T

I hate you..but you are so beastly and I want to be strong, so I like you.

Have never been consistent with Insanity before. Did it for 2 weeks in college with my roomie, then stopped because we liked sleeping at 6 AM rather than squatting and jumping around. Then I did it a few times last year when I was too busy to drive 10 minutes there and back to the gym.. And now I am here. I've exhausted the gym, ran through the neighborhoods mannnnny times, biked (but don't like going by myself)…so I'm here with Shaun T. I'm a lucky girl...

Cookie butter

To fill those depressing and stressful days with some bits of happiness in every bite taken with cookie butter..or spoonfuls of cookie butter

S

"I will get through this week" =)

Pads and tampons

….It's pretty self-explanatory.

Have you ever thought what it would be like on your period without a pad or tampon?!?!

Yeah. I'm definitely thankful for those.

Hope for a wonderful place called Heaven

It's weird. I pass by the cemetery where many loved ones are buried. So many stories and past lives are buried right there. And I pass by it every. single. day. Going to school, coming back home, going to the gym, going to groceries… I've never really thought anything about it.

And then this morning, I double-looked where my grandma was buried. Never did that before. Don't know what came into my head to do so. But I just did. I was trying to imagine where the burial service was, where all the seats were lined up for the immediate family. It was all blurry…Can't really remember it anymore. And I'm glad for that….

Death is a normal thing. It will happen to me someday and it will happen to each of my loved ones. It is such a sad and morbid thought. It is an even depressing thought if one thinks that life ends after death.

But praise the Lord! I have hope and faith that I will someday see my grandma, and all my other grandmas and grandpas who have passed before… And I will be reunited again with them!!

30 simple minutes

When everything in my life seems so hectic, deadlines, presentations, assignments, exams, boards, becoming a doctor….

Way too stressful.

I've tried the chocolate, the ice cream, the yolo meals, sweating it out by running or working out, watched TV, ate all the food in the pantry, Facebook stalked, online shopped, online "window" shopped..Tried all that and I'm still stressed.

But 30 stolen minutes with my bf always somehow calms me down.

Thanks baby for keeping me sane.

Blankets

In the winter, I always look forward to snuggling in my bed with my soft and warm blankets. I sleep with 3 and yes sometimes it does get too hot at night but the initial moment of crawling into the blankets Is such a wonderful feeling

S

Hot showers

I prefer showers at night. That way, I go into bed feeling refreshed and clean from all the day's dirtiness (dust…dust…dirt…c'mon…)

I also prefer hot showers over lukewarm over cold showers. It is relaxing and soothing, and warms me up for a few minutes during the time I have to step out of the shower into the coldness of my house!!

Winter break

3 weeks of having break has been the loveliest of lovlies. I had a lot of fun this break that will fuel me through the next rough 6 months.

Legs

Yesterday we ran LA's New Year's half marathon. I am so blessed to have these legs to take me places, run around, and to work out.

-S

Volunteers at races

What would us racers do without the ple that volunteer to hand water to us? After we grab water out of their hands and almost run into them, these kind and generous volunteers clean up all the mess we make. Because after we drank our waters, we attempt to throw it in garbage boxes but they are always out of the way so we just throw it to the ground. With over 6000 ple running, that is a lot of water cups to clean.

Honey boba

It's not like regular boba, no, this type of boba is special. From the moment the boba enters my mouth to the moment my teeth bite into it's flesh, I am brought to another place nothing else can describe.

I will drive an hour or more for this boba. I say this because I have already done it twice in three days. It is my…cocaine.
