Disclaimer: I wanted to upload this post right after Christmas Eve (…Christmas) but the internet has been quite spotty at my house, therefore I was unable to. So sorry if Christmas is way past your minds already.
… well it wasn’t that unusual….
But I just wanted to name my blog post like that because my Christmas Eve was unusual in a sense that it was probably different than most other people’s Christmas Eve. When people think about Christmas Eve, they think about last minute Christmas shopping, family gathering/dinner, and special Christmas service.
My Christmas Eve did contain a special Christmas service (which consisted of Christmas carols, little kids doing body worship, little kids not doing anything on stage except for looking really cute, youth group kids performing skits which are no different than Korean dramas but contain a Christian punch line, and young adults dancing to a hip version of Silent Night… no Christmas message since it was preached the previous Sunday), but I did not get to eat a family dinner or go on a Christmas shopping frenzy.
Instead, I spent the afternoon with my friend Jee Bae watching G-live, and eating Chick-Fil-A!
Seriously the best chicken burger ever. I think I would consider it as good as, if not better than Bake Sale Betty’s in Oakland.
And after the Christmas service, spent time with The Well (My home church’s EM) people.
Although I did not get to spend much time with my parents because of the circumstances, I am so blessed to have Christian brothers and sisters wherever I go who become my family to spend meaningful times such as these.
To do list:
-watch Narnia the voyage of the Dawn Treader
-eat korean bbq – sort of check… I had a lot of pork belly dinners already =)
-eat 양념통닭 (spicy korean fried chicken) – check!!
-eat korean pastries
-have a nice talk with the two pastors over a nice lunch – half check; had dinner with one of the pastors.
new items on the to do list:
- have dinner with family
- update resume
- apply to spring semester internship positions
- submit my one page testimony for SD mission trip
- play basketball with friends – check! in 38 degree weather in an outdoor basketball court -_-;
- try to meet up with old high school friends
Still haven’t watched the Dawn Treader!! O wellz… its has been busy recently…
I hope everyone had a nice and meaningful Christmas. The end of 2010 is approaching…. This year passed by sooooo fast… like a concorde jet (in reference to Justin K.’s recent blog post quote).
I should do some reflecting.
