i'm going to marry him!

PRELUDE..

{May 16, 2008 - LBC banquet}

This was my freshman year, back in '08.

If you were at our engagement party, you already know this. But since most of you don't... yes, I did have a crush on this dude even back then.

Of course, I wasn't saved, so my reasons were no good =/

I worked during the summer, and sorted out a lot of my own issues.

In the fall, he studied abroad in Japan.

{April 16, 2009 - fnf}

I was saved by God's grace earlier that year. j came back from Japan. Our interactions were sparse (we only met once that year, I believe), but... my respect for him grew even from our few encounters.

{May 2009 - LBC banquet}

Yes, we continued to take awk/funny pictures.

{June, 2009 - Hong wedding}

I attended my first ever wedding!

The story behind this picture is quite hilarious.

Dear c went up to j, insisted that he & I match, and we need to take a picture together. j was more like "whatevs, fake smile, good okay bye". I was pretty giggly. HAHA

{2009-2010 schoolyear}

The following year, I moved into Costa Verde with my beautiful girls (+ our unofficial roommate). Thus, I became his neighbor.

During the time, a friend and I wanted to gather people together every once in a while, so I started hosting our monthly Costa hangouts. --> more opportunities for us to interact/talk, though I don't remember us interacting/talking all that much..

{November 28, 2009}

j traces back to this date as the day he started to notice me.

THE DATING STORY..

{March 13, 2010}

Asked me out on Feb 18.

I didn't sleep the entire night

My roommates didn't get much sleep either that night (they were super excited for me)

{April 1, 2010}

We have lots fun together. Like, how I postit his car =D..

Did quite a few embarrassing/memorable things..

Got a season pass to Sea World

So we go play there quite often.

Okay, enough preluding (did I lose everyone already?)

On to THE PROPOSAL STORY..

December was a really hectic month for me. For the first two weeks, I was training for my new job AND studying for finals. Third week, since I was required to do 4x 8 hour shifts before leaving for home, I arranged my schedule to be M-Th, so I could play with John on Friday.

Our season pass to SeaWorld expires end of Dec, so we decided to go there one last time on Friday.

I worked 10pm-6am on Wednesday night, and 6pm-2am on Thursday night, so I was super exhausted and didn't bother setting an alarm for Friday morning (I'm usually pretty good about waking up). J texted me 930 saying he's up, which was super weird to me cause.. it never happens. I ended up sleeping through everything and didn't wake up till 1030. Drove over to his place, had lunch together with a few of his housemates (they later told me it was impossible to talk to me cause they didn't know what to say without revealing), and headed over to SeaWorld.

Okay, so a few (weird) thing so far:

-J asked me the day before if I'm sick of dating yet. I was like "NOO I don't want to break up with you". Yes you may laugh. No I admit I don't think like a normal person...

-S insisted on talking to me at 2am when I got back from work. I was thinking, okay yeah~ we can talk about your situations or whatever. But, we spent the whole hour talking about me until I fell asleep

-A, plus few other people, stayed an extra week in SD.

-Before I headed out to see J, S asked, "are you going to wear that?????" To which I replied, "YEAH! It's cold today, you should wear something warm too!"

But, I'm super oblivious, so none of it clicked.

I don't like rainy weather. The whole day was really gloomy.

We went to see our usual favorites and a few that fit our time. Sealion - we got to see the extra session of how to train =). the animal show - they have a kangaroo!! (which I thought... "kangaroo go, jump jump jump!"). and a polar express show (blah).

A few weird things at this point:

-J asked to bring his bag instead of mine

-J took forever when using the restroom

both which I dismissed, but thought it was weird.

At the end of the day, we were going to head out, grab the silver pass (thanks liz!), and go back into the park to get a souvenir. On our way out to the park, j asked if I wanted to get a picture in front of the big christmas tree, to which I was "YEAHH!".

We were talking about how we should ask someone to take a picture for us, and (coincidentally, but not really), the Yu's were there. I was super excited, and told j "hey, we can ask someone we KNOW to take a picture of us - awesome!".

Here's the picture S took for us:

{December 17, 2010}

Right after S took the picture, j turned around and said "hey mel" in a quite serious tone.

And in my mind, I was thinking "oh nos, we are going to talk about serious things now, dinner will be interesting..." (indeed, dinner was interesting).

The rest kinda went by like a blur. The end.

Just kidding.

j said something along the lines of "I really enjoyed dating you these past 10 months, and blahblabh (i don't remember).."

reached into his pocket (this is when it clicked in my mind)

got down on one knee

"Will you marry me?"

And you can picture me smiling/shocked.

after a couple seconds.

"YES!"

And then, there's people at SeaWorld clapping for us, and I saw our friends running to us.

C & S hugged me!

(before j did)

cause he was just shocked and lost.

and not sure what he was supposed to do.

but many thanks to T, who shouted "put the ring on!"

so he did.

we got engaged.

=) heheh.

and went to eat yummy souplantation.

Funny moments -

c.h.: so when's the party?

c.s: you mean.. the party at souplantation??

me: oHhh hey that's caroline's car!

j: well, maybe she's here.

more surprises? yay for friends.

so, yes, i got engaged!

and it was a very happy day.

I'M GOING TO MARRY HIM! I think we can safely say, I'm going to marry the man of my dreams!

=) heh.

(priase God for everything He has provided us with!)

(thanks to all our friends who made this day so special to me & j)

what happens when i'm sleep deprived

britt suggested that i should blog about my day, cause it's full of what the ridiculous stories. hahah

1.
-picked up a scantron for my test
-came out to be 27 cents
-handed the cashier a quarter and four pennies, turned around to leave
-he gave me the strangest look, took the quarter and two pennies, and handed me back the other two...
=( i can't count. good thing my midterms werent on math!

2.
-after my third midterm, was walking on library walk
-a guy came up to me advertising something
-he asked, "hi how are you doing? do you have five minutes to save a life today (in ref to bone marrow donation)?"
-i took off my ipod, turned around, and sluggishly said "oh.. hmm.. maybe next time.."
-he gave me a weird look
=( my brain definitely shuts down. haha, maybe next time i'll try to save a life? lol, what a silly answer =)

3.
-came home, napped till 5:30
-kept on thinking, oh shoot, i wonder if liz is coming home today
-called her on her cell phone, turned out she DID come home while i was asleep, and we even had a conversation. it went like this (according to liz, cause i dont remember any bits of it at all):
liz: *open door, oh sorry, didn't know you were sleeping
me: hi liz
liz: hey, sorry to wake you
me: oh it's okay, i'm sleeping anyway...
=/ yup, don't remember this AT all.

a non-depressing post! =)

planned

I know what I wanted, what I planned for, what I expected.

Perhaps its quite stupid on my part, but sometimes, I feel as if I cannot allow myself room for another option, so I can't, won't fail.

Okay, not smart.

{Prov 16:9 - The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps}

A lighter note, I got a second interview! This is pretty amazing considering I pretty much saw no signs of hope after my first one.

still shaking

{Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid of tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.}

feels like sophmore year

unbalanced

the whatif's

When thinking about / worrying about the future (which I found myself doing a lot more this past year as I'm almost done with college..), I'm always so in need to be reminded of trusting in God's provision. {James 4:11-15} was the verse that I read (and re-read and re-read some more), but girltalk (by the Mahaney ladies) mentioned some good points to consider in their post today (though the intended audience is mothers, I think we can all benefit from it =))

{Matthew 6:33-34 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own}

{James 4:11-15 – Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow, You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.}

The Mahaneys write:

There is no grace for our imagination. That’s why our fearful imaginings produce bad fruit: anxiety, lack of joy, futile attempts to control.

There is no grace for our imagination. But God does promise sufficient, abundant grace for every real moment of our lives. That’s why the Proverbs 31 woman can “laugh at the future in contrast with being worried or fearful about it” (ESV Study Bible note on Pr. 31:25)

There are few things that I've always highlighted within the prov31 passage {v 12, 15, 25, 30}. But I guess I never truly noticed/meditated on it enough.

{Prov 31:25 - Strength and dignity are her clothings, And she smiles at the future.}

6:30 club w/the apt!

=) i just like to say,

i heart my apartmentmates! they are the best. =D

i keep on having nightmares, so i guess waking up early isn't too too difficult (for now). hahah, it's the staying awake during the day part =) yay iced tuxedo / whitemocha~

LKC #1

My mentality before was always reluctant to give up my Wednesday night, and then it slowly turned into (or maybe it was simultaneously) the excuse of being too busy with work/volunteer/school/other things on my to-do list (sidenote: crossing off to-do lists is probably the best feeling/things to do. ever. that's one thing I miss as I now switched everything to my ipod). I kept on thinking "maybe next time I'd be less busy". But hahaha, we all know how that goes.

One thing I truly took to heart, throughout these years in college, was that we make time to do things that we desire to, things that we love (believe PaulMolina first mentioned this to me when I met with him freshman year, and then repeatedly hearing this from lbc in general). So, well, my schedule is no way any less busy compared to before, but.. I think VBS did something strange to me :) those little kiddos = ♥

"Questions"

-something/some people, if we don't know them, our lives wouldn't be any different.

-but knowing God makes a difference!

To you it was shown that you might know that the Lord, He is God; there is no other besides Him. Out of the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline youl and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire. Because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them. And He personally brought you from Egypt by His great power, driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bing you in and to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today. Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the Lord, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other. So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time. [Deuteronomy 4:35-40]

-God has revealed himself: two responses

1. to know God

but knowing God isn't enough

2. lay it to your heart

-How do we know God? learn about God? --- through the Bible.

-we can't know God fully, but we can truly

-loving God, not unless we know Christ as Lord AND Savior

Though the message was short, it was sweet and such a good reminder. Especially nice since I'm going through Deuteronomy. Psalm 119:11 was actually my very first memory verse, so it's always stuck in my head. This is particularly important and true, as I'm fighting for diligence and self-discipline.

--- main conviction: I think joining the ministry = commitment, and should be treated as such. My three hours on Wednesday nights should be devoted to those kiddos, despite whatever I have on my list of to-dos. Though midterms and whatnot are understandable excuses, they are excuses nonetheless.

First time I left early, hopefully the last.

psychology classes = win!

this morning...
i sipped on iced vanilla chai from mandeville coffee cart + watched cute baby videos.

and then i walked to my next class and thought about hamster for another hour or so.

= classes are fun :)

china #2

some things i've seen + been thinking through

(i've been meaning to write a more elaborate post on these things and i kept on telling myself that i will, but i just get busier and busier, so.. =/ i'm just gonna post whatever comes within the next fifteen mins. haha)

-the idea/view on marriage (and dating): horrible to fully realize/understand that marriage nowadays are simply a way, a mean of bettering yourself. haha looking back, i am so thankful that back when i was not saved, i still held dating/marriage to a standard where i wouldnt date a guy i can't see myself marrying. i like that principle =)

-divorce: i was so troubled. at the time, couldn't think of what to say cause all i had in my mind were Biblical principles that non-Christians would not understand. but forgot that all else aside, none of it is of any importance in light of one's salvation. this was stressful. think i was/am still pretty upset at myself.

okay, perhaps i'll elaborate more laters. boo for back-to-back midterms =(

china!

hangout with my grandma lots & lots!

w/cousin

photoshoot that took ~12-13 hours; with layers and layers and layers of makeup

qipao shopping =]

this is what i grew up on. haha cause my mom loves it =)

mcD tastes better in asia. kiwi sundae

supermarkets are super legit (4 stories..). the escalators are cooool!

yumm

more yumm. bread = ♥

the guy wrote a verse/poem? using my name =) that was pretty cool

6 =)

a bit late, but since i'll be gone for 2 1/2 weeks, some pictures =)

biking @ Coronado = super funnnnn

this is a superrrrr over-exposed picture. i tried adjusting settings and whatnot, but i suck at post-processing, so this is the best i can do =/

i really like this one though! the eyes =D

this is beautiful

from laboroflove

as tim would say, yarp requests

- this post here

- sickness (cold, wisdom teeth, body aches)

- passport/visa, so i'd be able to go to China to visit my dear grandparents :(

5 more..

12 medschool applications - done (within the last 3 weeks! woot i'm quite shocked)

5 more school applications - to be completed by 09/10 (if i'm not defeated by this sickness + wisdom teeth)

2 more applications - waiting to be processed (drexel ucsf, er, helloooo!)

=( this process is quite hard. here's the way to do it..

some good passages! plus my trusty macbook and its oh-so-confusing microsoft word program

some recycle paper for brainstorming. always answering the "why" =/

and of course, some "please help me edit this secondary" emails. thank you guys =)

[no, this post is here because i'm writing about photography, and wanted to take more b&w pictures]

if at the end of the year

I have nothing but my bio degree + my last-min psych degree, then still be happy, still rejoice.

Being a Christian is more than a verbal profession of faith in Christ. It is a way of life. It means in practice that you love and rely on Jesus more than anything or anyone.

May this be on my mind as I finish off last week of summer! (two finals, one paper, six more med school applications; caught a cold, sick, wisdom teeth hurts =/)

Numbers

Just a quick post before I head to bed..

-Though I enjoyed reading OT so far (very very much), Numbers has been rather tempting to glance over and skip sections =(

-It's okay. i busted out my big bible and my little one, reading them side-by-side =D

-Themes: God's faithfulness despite human faithlessness/failures; the sovereign power of God in history

-I see more and more that when I'm not doing well in the Lord, everything else just becomes more frustrating/stressful than before. So the resolution is to open my bible before opening my safari/word doc.

fishing

(this is not on Matt4/Mark1)

I remember going fishing with my uncle when I was little. I think I absolutely hated it. It was so boring (but of course, I was only a kid then and sitting anywhere for more than five minutes equated to boring). But for some reason, my uncle/grandpa loved it.

And I guess the question would be, did my relatives like the process, or simply the result of catching fish(es)?

I think I can argue for the process aspect. The dessert after a meal, the reward after hardwork, is perhaps something to look forward to, a motivator, maybe. But learning to love the process is quite precious as well. How can you do things well if you do not enjoy doing them at all? I look at my highschool life, and have no good thoughts about it, no good memories. All I can say is whatever I did got me to college. Ouch. That's rather sad. Yes I ended up getting into almost all the schools I applied to (ucla are jerks), yes the end result is pretty good, but the process of it all? definitely not a highlight. This, this is why I resolved that my college years are not going to be simply wasted for the sole purpose of getting into medschool.

I won't argue that sometimes the road is rather bumpy (hehe hello secondaries, how you eat up all my time), but why not pause and think of all the good that comes of it? Take my last summer, I think I was pretty depressed for a good chunk of it, but I look back and can only be thankful of God's mercy and grace. The loneliness/tears/whatevers, taught me to be dependent on God and on Him alone. How can I say that 31 (result) was all I liked? no wayyy. If I had to live it over again, I'd wish for the same (maybe higher score and less heartache would be nice, but hey, oh well)

All this is to say to myself that secondaries are not going to kill me. And coming to the conclusion that I will be able to live without medschool if it comes down to it, well, makes this whole thing a little more bearable.

Going back to fishing. You are not the fish. As someone on dry land, you can only control what type of bait, how much, where you put in the bait. You don't get to control which fish is going to come to you. In a nutshell, if you can't control, why worry? Do the best on your part, stop the unnecessary worrying.

Along similar lines, it doesn't matter how unlikely you are going to catch a fish with your bait, you are definitely not going to get anything if you don't have a bait to start with. The rebuke/encouragement to me here was: stop trying to make everything perfect, stop thinking about how unlikely this this this would happen; if you don't at least attempt (apply), then you are for sure not going to get in (admitted).

All are just random thoughts cause I was talking to someone about it today while complaining about medschool applications. Can't think of any biblical references on top of my head, so take everything with a grain of salt.

learnnn

random things i've been learning the past few weeks + what's been happening (guess this would be to make up for the lack of updates):

-even if you are only 1% to blame and the other person is at 99% wrong, take charge / be responsible of that 1%. (from Martha Peace's book)

-i worry too much.. unnecessarily. "Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul."

-be filled w/the Holy Spirit + God's Word --> trust that your desires are God-given and pursue them!

-my classes requires ridiculous amount of work. but b/c of it, haha, i find myself really excited for the chance to learn. learning new things = yay.

-i wonder where i'll be next year around this time. lease ends in july, so i'll have 1 month after school ends to stay around in sd and play. what reasons would i have to stay here after that? what reasons would i have to go anywhere else? ahhh i dont know.

-i am constantly surprised at how nice my professors are.

-currently swamped with essay-writing + classes. i have this scary feeling that i'm going to get sick one of these weeks and flunk everything. yuck

-china 09/11-09/22! waiting to hear back from emily. scaryyyy. it'd be like, 10-year elementary school reunion.

-will be done w/lev by tomorrow! yipeeee. reading OT is quite the interesting.

i am the sad

I have silly friends

"Nooooooo! You can't shower! Don't showerrrrrrrr" definitely quote wall material hehekeeke

{Romans 5:3-5 -- And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulations brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us}

like I said to Ange, such blessings in disguise. Ugly disguises, but blessings nonetheless. Wouldn't trade it for anything else, wouldn't have it any other way :)

salt & pepper II

equality & headship

From {chapter 3 - by raymond c. ortlund, jr}

{genesis 1-3}

"equal in a sense that they bear God's image equally"

-(re)defined; {genesis 1:26}

-equality is not: social status, financial stability, authority.

-because it's God's image, there's respect, equal worth [trust].

{genesis 2:23}

-the thought here is, from one flesh, to one flesh (marriage). how crazily cool.

"to love as equals, not to love in the same way"

-love exists in both headship&submission. just because you carry out one but not the other does not mean you eliminate love in the process.

"natural outcome is fulfillment, not a denial of rights"

-what is there to argue against?

"This life is not our fulfillment." "Our pain and limitations points us to God"

-so why do i dwell so much on it?

"authority - to be borne for the benefit of others without regard for oneself"

-wahlala. that's insane hard.

short b/c you should go read the entire chapter yourself! =)

The Mayonnaise Jar

(from email)

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,

When 24 hours in a day is not enough;
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
And had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And start to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
It into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand
And poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded
With an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table
And poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
Filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things - God, family,
Children, health, friends, and favorite passions
Things that if everything else was lost
And only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else --
The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are
Important to you.
So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time
To clean the house and fix the dripping tap.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand
And inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.

'I'm glad you asked'.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

Please share this with other "Golf Balls"



I just did......

this is pretty blasphemous, hah

in regards to eating unhealthy food (such as yummilicious chocolatechip blondies)

"er, so, you know, when in doubt, what would Naomi say?"

onrepeat

Weird study habit: most of the time, I can only listen to one song on repeat when studying (focus) - the switching song part is way too distracting for me.

This quarter finals:

{Go Hard - Lecrae}

You know where it stopped when I turned it off to take the final (which, haha I completely failed cause I didn't read the textbook =[ )?

"If you didn't know Christ would your life look the same / Can they tell you value Jesus by the way you rep His name? / man what's the point of living if I'm living by myself"

Isn't that cool.

one things at home

i miss the days when i can wake up and run my fingers across the 88 keys,

or play a song or two and then go back to studying

i'm tempted to just abandon all the things on my iCal and drive home for a weekend.

4 + 1

study study study.

6 more days and i'll be done =)

[study-wise, hahah no need to study bicd134 =D]
