Bow Bulgogi House

08.13.2013

Busy busy day.

Sooo tired.

Had the worst sleep yesterday probably because I drank green tea last night at Bubbles.

Went to bed at 12 but didn’t actually sleep til sometime past 3.

So I woke up feeling exhausted.

 

I woke up around 9, but tried to go back to sleep which failed so I got up.

Wasn’t sure what to do before needing to head out to lunch.

Just ‘lounged’, watched half a movie before heading out.

I was meeting up /w BP & Alex T. for lunch.

I wanted to eat Korean food in Calgs before I leave so we decided to go to the best Korean restaurant according to urbanspoon.

It’s called ‘Bow Bulgogi House’ and was pretty good.

Haha, it’s always the sketchy small places that are the best for some reason.

The location is near the newly opened C-train station in the west side of town.

I didn’t even know that part of town existed.

We were just missing Tang Tang, PQ’s twin today.

I hope he is doing well.

He’s in China on a missions trip but will be back in Vancouver soon.

I wish to meet up with him to see what God has been showing him.

Unfortunately, it probably won’t be this summer.

 

I went to my mum’s for a short time because she was insistent on feeding me cake.

Well.. alright.

As long as it makes her happy right ?

I was glad that even though I forgot to pray before going in the house, I remembered a few mins in.

Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but it helps me stay focused.

I think the relationship b/w my mom and I has slightly improved.

And surprisingly also my relationship /w her bf.

We talk to each other as normal now and although it’s still kind of awkward, there have been some meaningful conversations.

This is what I’ve been witnessing as change.

I think it has only been possible /w God’s help and his strength.

 

Then I headed over to Lazy Monkey to meet up /w Corliss AKA -patpat-.

Yeah… sometimes I really don’t know how I come up with these names for ppl. -.-

At least the ones I give now are slightly less strange right ? Lol

It was really good.

I was encouraged by her sharings and her words of affirmation.

There was a lot to think about from the conversation in regards to the direction I am headed for fall.

i.e. my role in fellowship, what fellowship etc.

Lazy Monkey is still my fav place in Calgary for BBT & their snacks are pretty legit.

It is much better than Tasty Choice. (No offense)

It’s owned by Taiwanese ppl.

 

Was picked up for badminton right after.

Met some new ppl !!

And saw an old friend.

Did you know there is such a thing as overexercising ? I did not.

One of the symptoms is when you feel sore for several days.

Sometimes your body needs a break to heal.

I hope that’s not what I’m doing.

I think in sports and exercising, people care too much only about results but they aren’t willing to go through the process to get there.

Somehow, this seems to parallel the way people think about spirituality too.

 

After all of these things, my friend made me go to the movies although I was feeling pooped already.

But my ticket was already paid for…. so I couldn’t really say no.

I’ve been blessed /w really good friends who have paid for me half the times we’ve gone out which is quite a lot.

They’re not all the same people either.

Of course they are not obligated to but I’m really grateful and appreciate the kindness. – Can’t think cohesively right now.

We watched Elysium that came out a few days ago.

I’m always very curious about what people believe the future earth will look like.

Almost always though, or at least recently, it seems not very bright.

It’s kind of depressing but still interesting.

The movie was okay.

 

What a long day.

I’m ready to sleep now.

I thought about a lot of things last night when I couldn’t sleep.

But I can’t remember anything I was going to write about.
