after a couple of days off with c and p, i'm sitting here at work battling this .csv file which thinks that ,, is nothing. arrrtggghhhh!

c bought her wedding dress while in ohio. we went to the largest bridal store in the US (here in cincinatti). she got a vera wang in an oyster color. it is gorgeous! who knew that she'd find her dress here? i surely didn't ;)

and i surely didn't think i'd be buying my dress already either. ack!

who knew?

i love my friend voika to death, and i've known her since high school. but really...who knew that we had girl crushes on each other back then. she has lots of girl crushes. me? not so much.

when i think about most of my friends that i have made after college, it's not many. i do have to say the ones i have made friends with (and still consistently talk to), have to be from girl crushes. every one of the women i'm friends with are people i really truly admire in some way or another. i never really realized that until the lion went away and i spent time doing my own thing and talking/writing to my friends. and they are an amazing group of women.

so, the lion comes back from DC in 2 hours. i'm sure he's all info securitied out. i miss his fuzz alot and i can't wait to see him!

in other notes, i've done the primary and second series this week. and had a private pilates session. i think pilates will help me in my hip injury and the nasty habit i have for overcompensating in my body.
we'll see tho.. and i really do have to start training for that tri next year.

unexpected death has no words. there isn't even a rationalization for it. i think that's what makes that particular death the hardest to accept.

for awhile anson was immediate family. he dated my sister and came to our family dinners. his family and my family would have combined thanksgivings. it was like an extended extended family. i was defnitely removed after my sister broke up with him but he was really good friends with my brother yam and like another older brother to my youngest brother junjiet.

anson definitly knew how to live life to it's fullest. always down with having a good time and ultra laid back. he never lost that ideal even post-college. his bright light will be loved, missed and celebrated.

All sorrow left me;I realized anew that God wants His children to love everything as a part of Him, and not to feel delusively that death ends all. The ignorant man sees only the unsurmountable wall of death, hiding, seemingly forever, his cherished friends. But the man of unattachment, he who loves others as expressions of the Lord, understands that at death the dear ones have only returned for a breathing space of joy in Him.
