Trouble Solver

Today was a very humbling and a very good day for our family. 

So my mom and my dad fought today and being the only child I have to be the one to calm both sides down and make these 55 year old parents that I have and love to be able to be more loving to each other. When I was talking to my mom who is the harder to calm down of the two, she was just listening for 10-15 mins of what I had to say. It was really cool because for the first time I felt like I was helping my mom in a way that I never felt before. I somewhat took the role of her parent. It was weird because I was lecturing my mom and what was weirder was she was listening to every word I was saying and totally just taking it in. I felt sooo proud and really mature. 

After the phone call, I realized how blessed I was to have my mom and my dad as my parents. Even though sometimes we may keep secrets within ourselves, I realized how really close we were that anyone in our family could help each other out. Sure, I may have lived 30-somewhat years fewer than them, but for that moment they listened to everything I said and told me I was right and that they should act accordingly to what I said. Never have I felt closer as a family than I did today. Sure, we may only have us 3 and no immediate relatives anywhere close to us, but we have us 3 and I think we really felt and understand the definition of a family today. Idk how else to explain it but I just so happyy that I am surrounded by them and that I have such a relationship with them. I wouldn’t trade anything for what I have with my parents. :) 

On a different note, I’m SOOOO excited to go to Mass tomorrow. I went to Korean Mass last week so I haven’t been able to experience the new Mass sayings. I’m just SOOOO excited to go through that new experience. It’s like a rebirth within the church. But until 12:30pm tomorrow, I must study… :(

Until next time…

OOPS! but let’s not do it again!

So yesterday as I was driving 75 mph on the freeway leaving kumon and going to tutor, I got a ticket. I was driving 75 mph (+10 of the speed limit) and the cop pulled me over. It took me the whole night to get over but as the new day rolled around I started to think in a new perspective. At first, I was really mad that I got a ticket for doing something that I thought everyone does… driving 75 on the freeway, but then I thought today that I was pretty lucky… There are sooo many times i drove 80+ even 90 on the freeway and I got away with all of that. I thought.. dang I got caught for driving fast in the most minimal way… Had I been caught one of the many times that I was driving 80+ I would have been in a worse position. But luckily, I was caught in a “good” time and now I learned a lesson of not to speed or… speed if u want to lost 350 dollars. 

So I was thinking…everyone makes mistakes in their lives. No matter how perfect you may want to be… reality is that we are all going to make a mistake, whether it be big or small. Nobody should ever get mad at you for making a mistake for the first time.. HOWEVER, it can become a problem once that mistake isn’t fully realized and it becomes a habit. It’s pretty funny how an immediate consequence such as paying a fine makes us change our habits but a consequence that is long term such as doing well in school doesn’t change our mistakes. Even for myself, the act of cleaning my car has been such a hard problem for me that I didn’t realize it was something I need to fix until recently. And ever since I realized it, it’s slowly becoming a habit of mine to try to be able to see the floor and the back seat of my car. Sure, it took a long timee (ahaha) but now that I realized it… I’m going to make sure it doesn’t happen. :) 

So… Let’s all learn FULLY from our mistakes and be able to live as better people because that is our ultimate goal!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME…

City Hunter Reflection

So I just recently finished watching City Hunter. I started a long time back but I never found the urge to finish it because I got into Running Man, I am a Singer, 남자의 자격, etc. but I just wanted to reflect on the last scene in City Hunter when the dad is lying on the floor and covers up his “son’s” identity so that he may live without that kind of past. 

This made me really think about the idea of a parent. I’ve always grown up wanting to be a dad as soon as I could because I wanted to be able to play with my sons and go shopping with my daughters. But watching that scene, I realized how much it really takes to be a parent. It’s not only those petty stuff that you need to do as a parent such as changing the diaper, taking them to school, or providing them with shelter and food, but the overall responsibility is to love them endless no matter what happens. As I was thinking about it, I think every other responsibility as a parent will come naturally if we just love our children. Lucky for me, I have such loving parents. I just love how cute my mom is.. how 멋있어 my dad is… and how they are so loving as a married couple without really showing that PDA stuff everr… and i realized how grateful I should be to them and how much I need to return the favor to my children no matter what or who they turn to be… :) 

Those of you reading this, including me… pleaseeee be good to your parents because the only reason why we are who we are is because of their love. :) cheesyy but VERY true.. so lets all be 효자s and 효녀s. 

Until next time…

here we go again…

I have a really hard time keeping up with this blog…

I know i said that i would keep blogging but i think this time it will happen… hahaha we’ll see about that…

Recently, I’ve been getting in the habit of just going to work, trying to study, shooting pool and hitting the gym. For me, ajo, hyun, and joe its GBP (gym, ball, pool). I think this blog will be like my post-workout… so after a hard days work and after a hard work out session, I will come on the computer and just write away before I take a shower. Sooo.. if i don’t blog that just means I didn’t work out hard enough for the day. 

So there it is.. a new beginning of a resurrection to this blog!!

Until next time…
