Fatigueness/sleepiness. Helplessness. Thoughts. And more thoughts. 

These are some (negative) things that are attached to.. me, I guess.

With my morning class canceled, I had pretty much the whole day to rest up, but I found myself awake at 7 in the morning as always. I tossed and turned to fall back asleep but miserably failed to finally get out of bed around 10. It's been a slow day. I asked to leave my internship early to study for my last dreadful midterm tomorrow, but the truth is.. I just wanted to go back to my apartment, wrap myself in my blankets, and just lie in what I would call my little haven (aka bed). But I don't know how, knowing how little of self-will and discipline I have, but somehow convinced myself that I should just go to a café I've been meaning to check out to study for my midterm until my evening class at 8pm. Now, here I am at the café (which I love and should be coming back) drinking coffee (which I always politely refuse to drink), but lost in my messy messy thoughts. Oh Jane, Jane..

Currently at my-favorite-café-in-Prague-as-of-now, drinking coffee, and listening to good ol' Casker. 

As expected, I'm daydreaming of being somewhere else, doing something else. Listening to Casker makes me appreciate Korean-Indie scene much more, and now I wish I was somewhere in Hongdae listening to other artists live. Ah.. summer come faster.

Casker- Fish

"외로워 질 때 누군가 생각이 날 때 언제든 전화해줘요

이유도 없이 괜시리 눈물이 날 때 언제든 날 불러줘요"

Casker- Hidden Track (A Reply to "Fish")

"긴 시간 우리는 엇갈리기만 했었잖아요

어쩌면 그렇게 상처를 아물며 안될것 뻔히 알면서 사랑할 수 있나요"

I like the response song better than the actual song "Fish". Either way, both of these songs are so raw, so good. Ah.. I wish I can just spare into space forever.. but I must return to the real world. Goodbye.

Happy Midterms!

or finals for those at UCLA.

There's so much to do. I haven't taken over 3+ classes since high school, and somehow I feel like I'm in high school all over again with 6 classes, work, internship, etc. Ah.. high school was sweet, but when I think about how much I had to study and do, it makes me want to throw up.

Why is it that it's that much harder to focus when there is so much to do? I will never understand. There's this hilarious saying in Korea that "10분만 더 공부하면 마누라가 얼굴이 바뀐다" (If you study 10 minutes more, your wife's face will change for the better). If I studied harder, will my husband become taller.. darker.. and more handsome?! Just kidding.

Here's an appreciation (procrastination) post to God's beautiful creations..

My forever number one- Gong Yoo (공유)

"High Cut" always publishes such attractive pictures. 

My rising shtaar- Kim Young Kwang (김영광)

Thank you for existing, you beautiful people. 

When all things fall into place

Perfectly.

It's been a while since I've sat down at a desk to update my blog. The last time I posted a quality post, it was 3 weeks into my stay in Prague. Tomorrow marks my 7th week here in Europe. Ah.. It is truly incredible how fast time passed by. It makes me all the more anxious to realize that I have to eventually leave this place now I call home. I, therefore, should push myself to document as much as I can, because in the end pictures (and I guess blogposts) are all that are left..

However.. I do not regret just soaking in all the beauties and wonders of Europe the past weeks instead of constantly uploading pictures on Facebook/Instagram/Blogspot. But I also appreciate this time I now have to just sit down, look through the pictures I've taken, and perhaps share some reflections.

To be honest, I am here sitting at a desk because I really have no choice. I sprained my left ankle in London, and I stupidly ignored the pangs of pain throughout the trip to now just be.. sedentary.

Totoro: >__< 

(I'm suffocating from her ice-pack and heavy foot! Save me!!)

The weather in Prague has been too good to be true the last few days, but I woke up this morning as a bed-burrito to fight the chill. Yes, it rained! Ahaha.. at least it didn't snow.

Lastly, my one and only roommate Deborah is gone for the weekend to Krakow, Poland! Ahh so jealous and I miss her presence.. but it is also nice to just be home alone. I don't think I've been home alone here before.

Sprained foot + rain + alone time = Quality time with Him.

Some of my favorite things :)

Every time I drink tea (which is multiple times a day), 

I am reminded that I am His beloved as well as my dear sister Sally Shin's! 

I guess I can say all things fell into place.. perfectly.

What a fine Saturday morning/afternoon.

Before I binge blog, I just want to remember this moment.
For the first time in a while, I feel exhilarated about day to day life.
