A message for you

Having to do something against my will...

Having to cut ties with people that I care about...

Getting further away, creating misunderstandings...

...

Please don't abuse power

I miss you. All is well with me and I hope all is well with you.

Oh, the Colorful Life is a Tasty Life

I love colors! They make me feel so happy. Ironically, most of my wardrobe has been black over the last year, but nowadays the colors are slowly being added back in. {Who doesn't love black, it's just so classy, plus it has slimming effects!} Anyways, that's what my life feels like at the moment. I feel excited, 20% hesitant, happy, and ready to embrace what comes my way~

It's just a thought that popped into my head as I start off my morning blasting the music.

I've been packaging some kits and seeing these strands of colorful threads is just putting me into a good mood! Silly, is it?

Ah~ getting back into cooking these days! This is a cheesecake topped with fresh raspberries and blueberries, and raspberry sauce. I'm planning on testing some cake recipes over the weekend. My co-workers are encouraging me to bake one a day, and most importantly, bring them into work so they can taste test. >_< So much for a diet!

This book just arrived in the mail~ So bright and red! I'll be reading it before I go to sleep. Gotta love cookbooks! ^_^

And isn't this freakin' A W E S O M E ?!?!~~ Wacom, you guys are just genius!

"happy! in your smile!

더 크게 웃어봐

나는 법을 잊은 것뿐야
날개를 펴고 가슴을 펴고 힘껏 날아올라봐

내가 있잖아
영원히 함께할
내게 꿈이 있잖아"

from 이승기's Smile Boy

Melting

Melting. Yes, I'm melting in this heat! haha! I hope everyone had a great start to their Labor Day weekend! :) Enjoy it~ with good company!

I had quite an eventful Saturday, so today I will wind down to some much delayed stitching, gracemade goodies, writing in the diary... and getting my share of sunlight!

I am off to make some creamy pasta with lemon zest and basil. yum~!

These days I've been drenched in sweet korean melodies, and this song by Alex, happens to be one of those songs. A perfect concoction of beautiful lyrics, sweet voice, mixed with a bit of romance and it has me feeling fuzzy for a long, long time.


어떻게 해야 하는지
난 알수가 없잖아요
나에게 가르쳐줘요
너의 마음을 얻는 일

난 이렇게 눈부시게 아름다운 미소를
본적이 없어 이렇게 떨리나봐요
Just only now and kiss me now
지금 이순간 우리만 생각해요

온종일 난 그대만을 생각했어요
그대만이 날 웃음 짓게 한
단 한 사람인걸 아나요
당신만을 난 꿈꾸죠

세상에 난 그대만이 보일 뿐이죠
그대만이 날 아프게 하는
단 한 사람인걸 아나요
당신만이 필요해요

간절히 바라고 원하는
나 언제까지 당신만을 기다려왔어요
당신만이 나의 꿈이였죠
이제는 내가 당신의 완전한 꿈이 되어줄께요

온종일 난 그대만을 생각했어요
그대만이 날 웃음 짓게 한
단 한 사람인걸 아나요
당신만을 난 꿈꾸죠

어떻게 해야 하는지
당신는 알고 있잖아

Can't turn back time

I may have lost something that is so precious to me. I am biting my lips for speaking too soon, speaking hurtful words that I don't even mean. Every ounce of me wants to turn back time, but the reality is... I can't.

Brighter than the Sun

I'm trying to find a steady rhythm. I wake up each morning to walk. I walk, I sprint, and I notice minute details... things here and there, that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I love this time where I can tune into my most intimate worries.

Enter!

Hello dear blog and anyone who may stumble upon this post!

It feels good to come back to you! I can't believe I left you unattended for this long and for that I'm truly sorry. I have indeed missed you.

Many things have changed since:

1. I am a designer at a wall decor company, my specialty is in colorful flowers and patterns!

2. I convinced my mom to get a puppy, and now we have the cutest Maltese named Mochi.

3. I got my first DSLR

4. We finally remodeled the kitchen and I LOVE it!

5. My mom got me my first ever kitchen aid stand mixer, which I've been eyeing for a very, very long time! (Thank you Mommy!)

6. I changed my hairstyle of many years, and got bangs and a perm. As a result many people had trouble recognizing me, including my very own brother and grandfather. I had an opportunity to live a double life, lol!

7. I started exercising! Woo~ I walk every morning before going into work.

And I'll fill in the rest with future posts!

Time just flies by! So far it has been an interesting year for me. I've met some wonderful people. I've caught so many colds. And I've also gotten to experience a spectrum of emotions. Through that I was able to learn a lot about myself and I'm continuing to do so. In this whirl of events, I think I've gotten a taste of my quarter life crisis. I have lived in bliss for most of my life, but I think I've stumbled upon something these past few months. It's been a roller coaster ride for me. Hopefully, I'll reach a steady balance soon. =)

xoxo,

Grace
