MBC Korean Music Wave 120521

SUPER JUNIOR, TVXQ!
See how many fans you have in America?! Please come back, you have to come back!!!

It was mind blowing seeing you in person, it was like a dream.
You are... REAL PEOPLE.
I had only seen you in pictures and on the computer for many years. And to see you in person? I was crying the night before, so excited to see you. Then scream my head off during your whole performance. Please come back... my sister and friend waited to get tickets for over 6 hours, then waited at the concert in line for 11 hours. I couldn't go because I had a final at school, but I came right when I could :)

Thank you for such a wonderful performance. Everyone was great, but Super Junior and TVXQ, you were the best! Saranghae! I was so sad Junsu, Jaejoong and Yoochun is no longer a part of TVXQ... it feels so wrong, still! But nevertheless grateful that I could at least see most of Super Junior, and some of TVXQ. I love you guys!

I will win an instrumental cover contest on Youtube one of these days, and win a trip to see you in person and meet you!! I WILL. I WILLLLLLLL I am so inspired to play more pop piano, and it's finally summer vacation so I CAN, and I WILL. I will meet you! My dream is to play piano for you! Either just play for you or play YOUR music for you to sing. Sounds like an impossible dream... but I still dream :)

I hope you don't have jet lag, and had a safe trip home... please come back soon! We're all waiting for you <3

True Love Waits

After starting poems in English class, I randomly sat down on Thursday, the one day I have real free time, and told myself I would write a poem. Just sit there, and right a rhyming poem. And I'm so happy I did! I remembered how fun writing poems was in high school, and got my poem hung at my charter school once, even! So here's how this new one goes.

Recently I've been thinking about my arranged marriage a lot. Wondering who this person will be. If I've met him already in the past, or if it's somebody totally new. Feeling impatient, but trying to prepare diligently. I'm excited for the future, having somebody to be with forever... I've been missing him a lot, and I don't even know who he is.

------------------------------------------

True Love Waits

He lingers in my mind all day
I cannot see his face
God hasn't told me who it is
He hasn't left a trace

I shouldn't guess, I shouldn't hope
I mustn't be close-minded
For He knows when the time is right
He's already decided

Is there only one right guy?
God molded... only one?
I really hope my parents find
The parents of that son

Who is he? Who is he?
Where is he? Where is he now?
I want to know so badly
Can this hurry up somehow!

Can he play piano?
Maybe sing a song or two?
It's okay...
As long as he likes music that I do

I don't want to be picky
It's been twenty-one long years
It's just... I'm so excited
Sometimes I go to tears

I can't say it's been easy
Crushes hurt. A lot.
But after all these years
My purity, I've still got

I wish I had the courage
To let True parents choose
The Blessing is God's gift to us
I have nothing to lose

But something deep inside of me
Says it's okay to stay
My mom and dad can do the job
Just as well as they

Not that it matters
I'm just curious to see
Cute, ugly, handsome, pretty
S'all the same to me

Spectacles or freckles
Coffee fan or tea
I'll do my best to love a guy
As dorky as can be

But wait, I've got a LOT to do
I've got to grow mature
Responsible and ready
LFSO-ing for sure

Lucky just cannot describe
Second gens' potential
Arranged marriage may sound weird
But it's precious, it's so special

When God gives us His Blessing
When our two fates resonate
I know that I'll be proud and glad
I believed that True Love Waits

Footnotes
* True Parents are the founders of my church; they're the ones that brought my parents together! And they have been "matching" people in my church for a long time, but..
* the job of matching is being handed down to the second gen's parents, whose job it initially was.
* LFSO - Living for the Sake of Others
* Second generation of this movement
* Matching = engagement (but different...) Blessing = Marriage (but different... different...)
* "True Love Waits" is on our purity rings! I've put pictures of it in youtube videos lol. Bottom line abstinence until marriage :)

Who Will He Be

Much more than a boyfriend
So much more
Straight down from Heaven maybe
But I wouldn't be worthy of that
What can I do tonight
What can I do tomorrow
To prepare to be matched to God's son
For all of eternity
I want to know who he is
More than anything
Every day is near agony
Not knowing, not knowing
Have we met?
Do I know him already?
Or is he out of the blue
Does he live far away? Will I go to him?
I can't go another school year without knowing
When will I be ready
Will I be ready
I trust in God
Who will he be

Hello Again.

The madness continues, yes. I've gained more weight than before I became anorexic now. Life is awesome and horrible at the same time, how's that work? School, friends, church and piano make it amazing. Some friends, some school, some church and some piano make it awful too. And guess what accompanies every little part of my liiiiiiiiiffeeeeeee...

I am afraid of some people who might be reading this.

The people closest to you hurt you the most.

I don't know who he will be, my future husband?

I am grateful for having the church band to invest myself in every single week, for God. Without that anchor I might be lost.

My mom doesn't mean to hurt my heart until it's in pieces, she really doesn't.

I am supposed to be doing my second draft of an English essay. I'm tired.

My tooth rotted, cracked and broke off because of the acid. It's finally starting to give me pain now.

I need it to stop raining so I can bike to school, please.

I wonder who he is. Will I be capable of loving him properly?

I can't delete my past. Is anyone in this world completely innocent?

God, you are weird sometimes. In a good way.
