The past week has been quite hectic for me. I feel like I’m always playing catch up with school work while adding onto the busyness of my workload at work. Below are some of my highlights/thoughts of the past two weeks:
1. Loving your co-workers could be a difficult challenge. It’s so much easier to fight fire with fire, especially when they love to take credit for your work.
2. Gung Hay Fat Choy everyone! We had an awesome time with family and friends. Of course, now being married, we don’t get red envelopes as much as we used to. Plus, we have to try to break even with the ones that we give out..hehehe
3. I’m very proud of myself for cleaning out our bedroom. It’s still a working progress but to be able to sit down and sort old paperwork out has been a blessing. I feel a little sense of relief. Praise God for giving me a very patient and loving hubby!
4. While I try to manage my time more wisely, I decided to drop BSF from my monday nights. It’s been hard struggle since I enjoy BSF and I enjoy spending time with my friend during our carpools but my “plate” is just so overfilled already. Plus, with starting a new GPS (guiding ppl to the Savior) group, I need to make time to develop new friendships.
5. I need a vacation! Since we’ve been married, Sichan and I hadn’t really taken a “vacation” yet. Our vacation time is usually spent down in Northridge and I don’t regret any minute of it but it would be nice to go somewhere just the two of us. Last night, we were invited to join my best friend and her family on a vacation sometime next month and I’m really excited to go. I hope that God will open the doors for Sichan and I to join them due to our work schedules. We hope to have some quality time to ourselves and also to have fun with them too! 
6. Recently, I’ve been reflecting on some old friendships. Sometimes, I wonder where the friendships went. It’s not like it ended on a bad note or anything (or at least, I didn’t think so). Maybe our lives just take us to different places now. I do miss them though. At one point, these people were considered my close buddies, and now, I’m not sure if I can even call them my acquiantances. Pretty sad.
7. Last weekend, I realized that the Xbox that we have is really Sichan’s toy while the Wii is mines. I spend my “winding down” time on it. I even recently got hooked onto this new game called, “Trauma Center: Second Opinion”. It just a fun game to be a surgeon without having to deal with “real” blood. I’ve played so much that now my right wrist is hurting once again. I love that game but I’m not sure if it’s worth purchasing though. We rented “warioland” yesterday and that game sucks. It’s so kiddish. It more for our neices and not for me.
8. I want new shoes!!! Most of my good shoes, I’ve owned for at least 5 years now and they’re starting to look worn out. When I was single, it was so easy for me to justify buying 5 pairs for at least $50 each and now that we’re married, it’s hard. Not that we couldn’t afford it, but it just doesn’t seem logical. We have so much more pressing needs like buying a house, renewing our vows, etc that getting new shoes seem to be next to the bottom of the list. (bottom would be: me buying new stamping products). Maybe it’s cuz’ I recently saw one of my coworkers with these cute boots on from aerosoles and made me want a pair.
Have a dry and good week everyone (cuz’ it’s pouring rain in Sac!!)
On top of that, this cost me like $63. crazy eh? Maybe I’ll return it!
