hello stranger,
been awhile.
and four years later...
“wow. jackie f’in ho. who would’ve thought? i definitely thought you had a vera wang internship and worried about getting your hands on the latest louis bag. it’s a pleasant surprise. you hate me now, don’t you? this is why i hate girls like you.”
definitely provided a good laughter nightcap.

arizona green tea with ginseng and honey. so good.

covering a week of shifts for some of the other hosts going on vacation (why aren’t i going on vacation?) has been pretty fun. exhausting but fun. the thursday before america’s birthday was really busy. so busy that i was taking customers at the counter…when i’m not even a server. this one man came in, on the phone, sat down at the counter and only...

like a bad relationship.
as usual, i was not dressed for the low temps in the morning but i knew two things, i had a free mcdonald’s iced coffee coupon and i was tired. so i drove all the way to the mcdonald’s on easton ave for iced coffee. every sip i took gave me more goosebumps but i didn’t care. it was delicious. i’m such an addict. i got to class and told myself i wouldn’t drink any more...

i am walking in the douglass commencement and i believe in the scils convocation.
mumbo jumbo.
this was all mostly for grandma who would be flying in from cali…but she called this morning, “sorry darling, i’m flying to hong kong.”
puh.
for my parents, then.
this’ll have to be returned to and edited.
but i went to kcf tonight, on a whim and it was ridiculous.
it was a screening of crossing, a movie about north korea defectors and the overall situation in north/south korea. afterwards, psalt and LiNK shared what they’re about and i guess i had heard about both, know vaguely about the situation in north korea and what’s being done...

scatterbrained.
i dreamt last night that some random man showed up at the gelato place i work at, he put down eight cups of different flavored gelatos on two tables. as soon as he placed each one down, a mini cooper appeared right next to it. the color of the gelato, matched the color of the car. it was amazing. my dreams never make sense and i always try to decipher the real meaning behind it all. but maybe...

and lean not on your own understanding
in all your ways
acknowledge Him

Como se dice "ketchup" en espanol?
I spent my morning serving lunch to the lower-income/homeless residents of New Brunswick at Elijah’s Promise. I went in with a few classmates, not quite knowing what to expect. The regular volunteers were comfortably joking around, telling us to say we didn’t have email addresses or cell phone numbers, if the clients asked. Clients? That’s what they call the people who come in...
put a ring on it
professor’s attempt to increase participation,
“do you all realize that answering questions are a critical part of life?
‘will you marry me?’
‘would you like to have a baby?’
you cannot sit there in silence.”
take two.
twentyfive more.
1. i don’t really like my nano. or i’m too lazy to bring it with me. and i’m not always texting. so when i’m on the bus, to pass the time, i’ve been thinking of 25 things about me that are more interesting and worth reading about than my initial 25. i think the whole process has made me more conceited. oops.
2. when talking online, i take great...

today is a milestone.
i woke up breathing not through my mouth, but through my nose.
and i celebrate by eating jello for breakfast. strawberry jello.
but sadly, what kind of jello did momma ho buy when her bronchitis-infected, 103-fever, demanding daughter, asked for jello…?
Royal Brand jello.
…?
who would’ve thought that anything other than J-E-L-L-O existed? momma...

uh.
i am so in over my head.
Chicken Wings and Noodles.
It’s past 3AM.
I’m eating.
I host at a diner nearby. We close at 2AM…usually.
Anyway, this girl came in to train to be a host tonight. Second time I’ve had to train her. I could focus on her negatives, what annoys me about her, things to poke fun at…but the reality of the life she leads is much more important and dare I say, interesting.
She is a mother. She is a...
