This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words.
“So, on Friday night my friend and I were at her house and wanted to get out and do something for the evening. We brainstormed ideas and she brought up the idea of seeing a show at the Laugh Factory. I’d never been, I thought…

On Pain
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the...

Seoul cancels visit by foreign minister after Taro Aso, deputy prime minister under Shinzo Abe, leads trip to war memorial
Half of me is Korean (both South AND North) so I can’t help but feel angry at this too. Please teach Japanese students the correct history :(

publicshaming:
Wondering what movie to see this weekend? Look no further than the film about North Korean terrorists invading the White House, Olympus Has Fallen!
What’s that you say? Oh, you’re one of those people who need to hear some reviews first? Not to worry! These fellow movie goers’ tweets are sure to…
Disgusting. I should add that I’m not just any half-Korean; quarter...

Look Ahead and don't be afraid of what you see
Today, I am writing on a rather personal subject matter and devoting a whole entry to my recent good news, as well as how it relates to this time of year as 2012 comes to a close (also, guess what— we’re all still alive! Shocked?).
So here’s my good news:
1. On December 31, 2012, to the very day, I will have been seizure-free for two years.
2. I finally got my driver’s...

The Connecticut Shooting
Today’s events are a heartbreaking tragedy and should not be utilized immediately to start pushing a political agenda. Respect the shattered families who are in mourning and unite in grief, rather than dissent over political issues.

Cloud Atlas: A Masterful Novel Turned Into...
I don’t suffer from the “Cloud-Atlas-was-too-complicated-for-me-to-understand” syndrome, but what I don’t understand is what people saw in this movie. HATE-HATE-HATED it. I’m a little late for a review, but here’s my take:

Thought of the Day
I’m pretty sure that if the stress of unplanned pregnancies— including the ones resulting from rape— was on men, not women, men in government would SOMEHOW feel more inclined to provide birth control and grant a woman the right to choose.
