so its taking me along time to format the 100+ photos that I took at home. plus im being lazy.

just wait, slowly but surely

so, im finally coming home in four days. its wierd. im so anxious and excited but at the same time, sad. knowing me, im going to fall in love with virginia and end up coming back to boston, broked-hearted and nostalgic. knowing that it'll be another long wait until i get to see the people in my life that matter so dearly to me.

i know, it's crazy. it's crazy that i feel sad about such a good thing. what am i especially looking forward to? its been over 6 months since Ive been home. the longest period of time thus far. i cant wait to see my grandfathers face at the airport. i cant wait for the drive to my grandparents, seeing my grandmothers gleaming face and me crying (i bet). i cant wait to eat my grandma's food, just knowing that it was made with love. knowing that i grew up with that flavor in my mouth. i cant wait to go home and see mom and james. i cant wait to have dinner with my family, enjoy good food and laugh. i cant wait to watch tv with my baby brother then go hang with him at a bar. he recently turned 21 and we have to celebrate, even though its 2 months belated. i cant wait to go shopping with my mom and roll like divas. i cant wait for my birthday haircut and spent time with mom all day. i cant wait until i see all my friends. i cant wait to take over dc, my hometown, my party central. then, i cant wait to have pho with unice and jaina just to catch up. more than anything else, to be able to see and feel them right in front of me. no more phones, just real life friends reacting towards each other. i cant wait to see all the girls, im planning on a bbq/dinner at my house. sangrias, mimosas, food, and galore. i want to do this for you gals. i cant wait for my birthday. to turn 23. i swear im going to remember this year's festivites. 100 percent. so dont shove shots in front of me. oh heck no! (lol) i cant wait to grow. i cant wait to laugh. i cant wait to be really happy.

i cant wait.

but dont get me wrong. boston has been swell to me as well. its just not home. this is the first night Ive stayed in and strayed from going bonkers in i-dunno-even-know, maybe 2.5 weeks. the fiesta-ing has worn me out. im out of reserves. i love my job. i love the people i work with. i love making drinks for people, putting care into them. serving good food and meeting awesome people. i love making them happy for the time that they are at my bar. i say this cause i work seven days out of seven. i live there. haha. i love my friends here. my camera has been out of commission for a while, and finally its back in order. here are some pictures from last night :D

me and caitlin, aka photo session!

ottman wouldnt stop. but so be it. funnnnnn.

pregaming over at julgis. his place is ridiculous. the view is out of control. ottman was baked (lol).

taking some pictures of julgi. one of my first asian friends in boston. born and raised in greece. how cool is that!

being asian with julgi. (r) look who i found. rania! underbar saturdays, uh huh!

caitlin, rania, me dwelling outside after closing. you know, you know. i love my co-workers :D

my new gay friend, dave. he visits me at work. me looking rough after not sleeping at all then hitting up my job. this is my average sunday. but today, the owner of three olives vodka came in because he heard all the hype about my grape infusion made with three olives grape vodka. i made him one. he asked for another. then he personally came up to me, told me it was fantastic, and left me a phat tip. you all have to try my creation. you cant just have one! ;)

photo shoot at work, yeah we were bored. look, my grape infusion! ciao :D

so im turning 23. no biggie. but seriously lets all celebrate just for the sake of being friends and turn this getting older smoosy into a wicked awesome excuse to be merry. woo! i just said wicked. man, boston is turning on me. see you all on thursday!

the eve of cinco di mayo was spent at Underbar. havent been there in ages. last time was with Unice. the night made me happy. Drink after drink, endless dancing. it was all a dream until I woke up the next morning with a $160 tab. Need to save monies.

pictures of course, enjoy. some may make you go goo-goo-ga-ga. sorry.

eva left me in boston. shes in cali. i miss you already girl.

my extremely hot gay boyfriend. so hot. enough to kiss (haha).

CINCO DI MAYO!!

i love being happy.

dont check out eva, brett. you like boys.

as do i. edit: brian is not gay. obviously.

wow. sometimes boston can actually be fun. still nostalgic. going home in a month. ciao.

Due to the fact that I had such a great & fantastic weekend, Imma update. This weekend was Boco's formal on a cruise ship! My first time on one. There are perks to going to a small private school, yippie. Too bad I drank way too much, or was it cause I barely ate to fit into my dress. Haha, either way...let's just say it wasn't because I was seasick.

me and my future roommate eva marie. she is so cool. no seriously.

my date brian was a gentleman. thank you.

greta's fab dress, wowsers. (r) jonas and ness, such a great picture.

me and vanessa! pre-drunk, then after mass, ouch.

me and brian. yippie, what a way to almost end the year.

Two more weeks and Im officially done with my first year's master program

Hot dang its been awhile. But I cant fall asleep and Unice called me out on her xanga so hurr we go (Love you babe).

Lets see what Ive been to. Ive had so many guests since winter break. Surprisingly, people will and have commuted to the north. Spanks. You all are too cool for words. PS: Kyu: I will email/IM you soon. Im a bad friend. Ive been really busy but anytime is cool. Cant wait to see you!

Despite some horror stories of the winter in Boston, its been rather mild. That is until now. I have never in my life walked for minutes on hand in such blustering wind chills. My face was aching in numbness and I was hyperventilating at one point (well not literally). At times I walk out (early morn/late night) and its 9 degrees if not lower. 9 degrees so be it. But the windchill, forget it. Im done. Finito. As a result, I make every attempt to avoid any sort of hyperventilization and have resorted to being a homebody (except school/work). Whaa. Call me a baby, but I hate this weather. Its sucks the motivation out of me. All I want to do is snuggle in my warm bed. Summer. Oh I miss thee. Long lost love come and rejuvenate this poor southern girl.

Well whats a 1.5 month non-updation without any visuals. Cant post everything but here are some highlights. *Tada*

When Unice visited. One of the best weekends in Boston yet. (r) My opera stars Rachel & Greta <3

Clubbin at Underbar. (r) Wow. One of my favorite pictures. My girls Unice & Nawar happy. Priceless.

Me and Greta. Ive fallen in love with this southern belle. Us at kareoke. Oh we rocked the stage!

How hot is this woman? Very. (r) Thanks for visiting Frank =)

This man (Tyler) likes walks and drinking tea. Funtimes.

Tylers brother Nate. (r) Yay Judy and Jenny visited. So many laughs. And random man. Err.

Drinking at Whiskeys with Josh. (r) How to survive blizzards 101.

Margaritas & avoiding the blizzard. (r) After clubbing at Apollo. I eat too much.

I my miss home. I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss korean food.

But unfortunately, Im staying in Beantown for Springbreak. What I wouldnt do to go home. The warm beach wouldnt be too shabby either. However, Im staying here to work, make money, study, and sing. Plus Im afraid they'll lose my entire wardrobe again. I hate flying. Still no luggage return nor monies for compensation/stress. Never fly United. Im telling you!

Nostalgia.
