not too long ago
i started drawing again,
and dreaming again.

for no special reason at all -
juan does these things.



i'm a happy girl.

oh and i got my citizenship,
beeeeeeeeeeotccccchhhhhh.

for better quality, click.

juan sent me flowers!
juan, he's the bessssst.

two nights ago i watched nacho libre by myself and laughed so hard the whole movie.

gracias, mi juan.
tu eres mi numero uno.

access to life.



saw this over the weekend -
i need to keep my eyes open to this world.

and oh yea,
i got shat on yesterday. right on the shoulder.
this will mark my second shoulder bird shat incident.

i hate birds.

once i met a ninja -


winds will life me
by dan-ah kim

one of the smallest most kickass ninjas i know.
she sleeps during the day, paints in evenings -
and saves the world at night with her ninja coat.

i still remember when dan-ah got mugged on our apartment street in brooklyn.

4:30 am, hot summer morning,
dan-ah goes to work on a film set.
walking out to taaffe, a big scary man goes:

big scar man: GIVE ME YOUR BAG.
small dan-ah: F*CK YOU NO!

( dan-ah says i exaggerate this, but at some point which i can't remember, my imagination may have taken off and gone with whatever information i was given about this incident (regarding the eff part..). but it makes it a better story nevertheless, oops.)

he soon after pushed her and she broke her finger.
then he took her bag and started running,
and danah, broken finger and bruised shoulder and all,
began running after him.

what a crazy mofo.
danah if you are reading this,
i think you are a crazy mofo.

kickass.

best of luck on your show,
my smallest yet strongest friend i know.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -
A WHALE'S VAGINA



one photo + ink pen + photoshop = one heck of a sappy card for juan!

btw,
from the bottom of my heart,
i think we should ALL move to california.

i tried to fight the whole west coast is better than the east coast argument, simply out of pride and a commitment to where i've been the last 13 years of my life here in america. (i am obviously completely eliminating the midwest as a choice, since the midwest has all the cons i can possible think of. midwest sucks) besides my friends being in the east coast, i just don't know what else east coast can offer me.

let us compare.

east coast cons:
- too cold. blizzards.
- too hot. humidity.
- no family (sis wants to move to CA too)
- very little access to nature (i also blame the weather)
- bad mexican food. mediocre korean food. overall pathetic fast food industry.

west coast cons:
- no friends
- the weather is too good all the time

i think we have a verdict.
so from the bottom of my heart, i suggest that we all move.

this message will most likely be read by 4 of my readers (2 madly in love with new york, 1 ready to bust out of the east coast, and 1 in orange county who will agree with all my points).

a 3 day get-away to chesapeake bay, maryland
