just a little update... :D

i've been sooo busy lately with many random things, but basically they're all good things, such as doing more sports, more yoga, seeing more friends, seeing marcus more etc etc... :D

anyway... i've been having badminton fridays and i realise i'm no longer sore the following day! yay! haha.. this is a big improvement for me, as i used to have back pain, arm pain, leg pain etc. the days after i play badminton but it's all gone now~ even after badminton, then yoga, then full day of disney i am totally not sore ~ haha ::is proud::

this weekend, i also went to celebrate Marcus' 2 month birthday :D will upload photos later.. i tend to upload them on fb because i want my sis' and bro in law's friends to be able to see them too~ i don't think there's a more diligent aunt than me and i'm pretty sure i upload photos of him more often than most parents do of their own kids =_=;;;

I LOVE YOU!
he's turning into a lovely, beautiful boy and i'm super excited to see him every chance i've got!

his reaction towards different people:

micsis: stared at her for a LONG time, with brows furrowed and trying to "guess" who this person is XD
don: staring staring staring
kenny: brows knit together, and staring hard
bro: will move his hands/fists whenever my bro speaks haha...
so cute! i think he's amazed because he hasn't seen so many males before (lower voices?) and last few times they visited, marcus was either asleep or else his eyes weren't developed where he could see properly~

also went to disneyland with my friends over the weekend...
1. very very very hot
2. i'm glad we went when we had free tickets
3. glad we tried the disney dim sum (they look better in person, i swear haha)4. either i'm getting too old for roller coasters or space mountain really is dizzy-inducing.. =__= i was literally walking in circles after i got off the ride!!
5. i have a big infected bite on my foot... i actually took photos to show that i'm not exaggerating when i say i need to put insect repellent + repellent stickers on me wherever i go :(
for those who are ok, please click the link to see my foot (WARNING!!! Very gross!)

i finally went to see the dr yesterday because it grew so painful and swollen and my foot began to grow numb D:.. not only do i need to wash my foot once a day with their antiseptic wash, i have to put on antibiotic cream + take antibiotics =__= and i was just saying the other day how i no longer need to rely on western medicine as much!!!

onto other happier things, FT island's album was released TODAY, 25 August! YAY! it's a mini album which means only a few songs, but i love their new song "love love love" and the beautiful video for it... i adore the marionette + dark mood to the video... and hongki's voice is amazing as usual :heart: will attempt to buy their album after work today~ :D


(on another side, side note, hongki joined twitter as well! yay!!)

recently heard this lovely song by the japanese singer "Kokia" who has the most wonderful and beautiful new-age-ish songs... this particular song is from this anime we watched over the weekend, called "Gin-iro kami no Agito" (something to that effect)... and i loved the mood of it, and the MUSIC!
the below lyrics summarises how i feel.. :D

[あなたまるで木漏れ日のように
私に生きる希望くれた
幸せが笑った
記憶の中のぬくもり胸に
なによりも強い絆を感じているわ

私が私らしくいられるのは あなたがいるから

あなたを愛して生まれた歌を歌おう
私の愛の証に
信じてどこまでも届け私の思い
あなたが生きていることが真実]

thanks so much..


current mood: feeling very blessed!

PS: the tragedy in the philippines makes me so sad... to know that this normally happy situation (ie. vacation with family) suddenly turned into a nightmare.. and then the nightmare turned into a tragedy when it could have been avoided is just too sad.. i can't read related news anymore because i feel tears in my eyes just imagining what it was like at that moment. my prayers go out to the survivors, the family members and all people involved..
