In an effort to save my beloved xanga account here is an overdue xanga post. I never thought I'd ever reveal these... but i think it's time. It's been like.. 14 years ago?  or 3? or somezhing...

I was listening to spirit1053 on my way to work yesterday and they were doing an interview with mandisa apparently one of the past contestants on amerian idol. (I actually never watch or watched an episode of that show but heard and have seen bits and pieces here and there). But anyways what an inspiration she is! Truly a role model for Christ and so bold for speaking the Truth in mainstream. I was so touched by her words and then when she sang, tears were just rolling down from my eyes. I don't know why but i get emotional in the morning sometimes haha... But more than her song, it was the words. She said God is always speaking to us and we may not always know what He's saying, but he's always saying I love you. I hope I don't butcher what she's trying to say but it's like the overwhelming feeling of love when you watch the most beautiful sunrise/sunset. You know it's something so big, something greater than you or this world. Or when watching the mountains, oceans, the stars, or really tall trees. Or... the joyfulness you feel with your family/friends etc... So many times while praying I would try really really hard to listen to God and hear his voice especially when I am trying to decide on something major, but I didn't know what He is trying to tell me. I wouldn't have a clear answer after prayer.  So I would get frusterated and think maybe God isn't speaking to me... But more and more I'm realizing he uses all different means to speak to me not just in deep loud voice "Shinae, I am the Lord your God....."  but through nature, people, the Word... and like she was saying, he's always trying to tell us how much He loves us. That gives me so much peace in my heart. Thank you Lord

Even though I was stitting in this yesterday, I was so blessed...

and watching out at this:

The other week I had the privelege to eat lunch with clara-fication down by her work in Tukwila. When we walked into the restaurant we noticed her boss and an associate eating lunch so when clara bowed, I just did the same and was introduced. He was very normal looking korean boss. After they finished eating, he took our tab. I wondered why he paid for it... he didn't even eat with us. But then I just thought, man! there are perks to working at a very very very korean company.

but then... a couple days ago, my beloved cupycake aka carol came to eat lunch with me in my hood in w. seattle and happened to walk into the restaurant my boss & his friend were eating at. Same thing, I introduced them. Then as my boss was leaving, he paid for our meal. I have a really cool boss, btw.

hmm... very interesting. So NOT a Korean thing....

Well I guess if there is one thing to get out of this whole thing: Just follow your boss around to his eating place. Maybe he will buy you lunch.
