Currently Listening - In between dreams


Better Together
by Jack Johnson



There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could singBut I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? and where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together

[Chorus:]MMM its always better when we're together
Yeah, look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that theyll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That theyll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now

Its always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm

I believe in memoriesThey look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,And there is no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing We're Better together.

--------------------------------------
I like to listen to happy songs. He must write this song when he's in love.
I miss that feeling. Love is a strange thing that you cannot control.
Although I want to fall in love, it doesn't happen as I wanted and vice versa.
Ah well... I believe Love will come unexpectedly. ;)

Ms. Brightside

I don't know what happened to me recently but I noticed that I've focused on more darker sides than brighter sides these days. It's important to be cautious but I want to go back to Ms. Brightside.
Let's smile, Sookyung. :)

Story of my life - Sports

When I was in school in Korea, most of the gym class had to do with team sports, which of course had to do with flying balls. Yeah... I managed to hit by those while I played and that's why I never really liked playing sports. As a result, for a longest time, I thought I was not good at any sports at all. Gym class was not my favorite class when I was little. Therefore, I never thought I would be good at any sports. What I found out was I was just a bit challenged in hand-eye coordination.

As long as there is a sport that doesn't involve in flying balls toward to my face, I can handle it alright. For example, golf, pool, or bowling. I'm not good at those but I'm not too shabby compared to other sports such as volley ball, basket ball, or soccer.

For some reason, I hated running and never even tried to run. I enjoyed other cardio exercises such as biking and swimming, though. Anyhow, I went for running last Saturday at Chattahoochee river park. First of all, it was quite different feel to run outside where it's so pretty and breezy.
Second, running next to someone helped me tremendously to keep myself going. At the end, I don't want to quit when someone is still running next to me (call me stubborn!). Surprisingly, I was able to run 2 miles - a short break after 1 mile. I was never ever able to run that long without walking or taking a break. How nice to have a feeling of achievement!! Well… after running 2 miles, I discovered all kinds of muscles that I hardly used (it was painful to walk for 2 days).

I learned playing sports stimulates my mental challenges more than physical ones. Believe it or not, I like mental challenges. After finding that out, it looks like I will enjoy doing sports more than ever. :)

Confidence Bipolar

When it comes to my confidence level, I’m a bipolar.
Most of the times, I have been an over achiever and I tend to be harsh on myself. As a result, my confidence level often suffers from my high expectation levels.

As I enter in the 4th month of Real World consulting business, my confidence level hit the bottom. Why? It’s the combination of feeling lost in my career path and trying to mixed expectations in this company.

I feel like I started all over again after all that hard work (honestly, I’ve been lucky and it wasn’t that tough but still…) and getting Ph.D. was a waste of time. Once again, it’s time to tell myself “Everything is going to be alright. Be patient and take one step at a time.” Easier said than done, though.

I just need some nice back rubs, ice cream, hot baths, and someone (some people) who listens to me and gives me encouragements.

Climbing Competition


My first rock climbing competition was April 22nd 2006. It had been 3 months since I started climbing so I didn't expect to be in the final. Also, I couldn't climb very well that morning and got frustrated. Surprisingly, my name was called for one of finalists!!

Guess what? I won the 1st place in Beginner's division. Rock on!
