heartburn.

i have the hiccups and i've had heartburn since last night.

...not the so-and-so-is-a-jerk kind of heartburn (although there is some of that too), but the unsettled feeling and bothersome sensation of heartburn. i was an absolute GENIUS last night and i decided to take advil before drinking at sister's birthday shindig at Far Bar (LOVED the dancing and the atmosphere! but i digress). i literally had half a beer, and i instantly felt the effects of heartburn...and i'm still feeling it today. oh well, such is life--you live and you learn. but heartburn really sucks! i literally have a salonpas over my heart/on my chest. and i feel like my theme song to life right now is: "tum tuh-tum tum...TUMMM!"

i am so thankful that the month of may is here! april was an...interesting month to say the least. i started a new job, which i am so grateful for, and i feel so lucky to have great coworkers. i am literally the only asian (and only new female!) in my department so i organized a korean bbq night for my coworkers this upcoming week. in my email, i wrote: "yes, i will be that token korean ordering meat for all you fools." :] 1 little asian girl surrounded by 9 white guys, WOOPTY WOOT!

the latter half of april was no cakewalk, however. it felt like EVERY portion of my life was poked and prodded at, and i know for a fact that my heart/faith were being stretched beyond its current limits. and boy, was it hard. it still is! i know i'm running away from my problems and from the solution. i know it. i firmly believe, though, that it is not healthy to bottle up my frustration. but it's also not healthy to ignore that i have Someone who "keeps a book for my complaints, A bottle for my tears." i'm bouncing back, don't you worry. it's another type of heartburn...more like my heart yearns?

may is magical. i am looking forward to so many things, and yesterday was filled to the brim with food, friendship, and fun. just the way i like it! i can't wait to update you all and post pictures on this blog. i mean, facebook has become the main portal for posting pictures nowadays but i'm boycotting its new layout. so i'll support blogger instead. :)

i hope this heartburn, in every sense of the word, goes away soon. really really soon. and i hope you never have to experience it! :) have a beautiful week, friends. cinco de mayo AND mother's day are happening this week--celebrate well and in good health! cheers!

ps. i am in love with jeff johnson's "meet with me." -- bringing the oldies back.
pps. happy happy birthday to my best chingoo of all chingoos! :)
