| you know how they say that New York can change you? Maybe they mean by the way you are as a person. Some people will suggest to me not to stay in New York too long otherwise it might harden me, I know that it has already made me a more efficient walker, but as for the hardness, i think it goes hand in hand with neurotic. I find that i am more afraid of noises, just simple noises, that bear no business on me, but will psyche me out and even make me worried/scared. I know it's silly. but, i'm just saying...
Anyway, I am excited for 2010. Few things are stewing in my head and i cant wait to get strong again. Physical Therapy wipes me out --well, I am on my own regimen now and I like it better, it follows in with Yoga in that, you don't ever push yourself, just try your hardest. i see ppl all the time write in their ACL blogs (i have one too btw) and talk about the antsy desire to hurry back to sports. well, the truth of the reality for me is, I am healed in my acl joint and the swelling is in it's final final stages of going down (patellar tendon graft). But there is a careful line of what my joint is physically able to do, while questioning, "Will the muscles around my knee joint support the new ligament to cushion it, resist shock and control it? For me, the answer is simply no. I think for most buff-in-the-quad men and women, they will be OK; as for me, i was getting thin from nyc and weaker as i am approaching 30. My goal is that i will do everything in my power to PREVENT any reinjury or injur the other knee, so I am listening VERY CAREFULLY to my body and surprisingly, it is hard to understand what a "slow healing process" means until you go thru it and suffer minor injuries along the way to regain your level of sports ability before your injury (& wihtout flare ups). When i talked with Dr. Rokito, of the NYMets, (i love saying that) we discussed which graft option would give me a future without me ever having to say, "Oh, i used to be better at Snowboarding." Basically, we chose the graft option and recovery PT to allow me to heal the right way, and at that consultation I knew i was going to dedicate a slow long future of strength so that in my 30s i can still learn to Surf, play tennis iwth my little sister (and try to beat her), rollerblade in the middle of the night with my gfs, or in the summer with waterguns, haha, Hike, Bike, and although I am at risk for early Arthritis, and minor discomfort in kneeling for long periods of time, i think Yoga is going to help that too. Yoga stretches have already enabled me to kneel in childs pose without any pain so I am thrilled about that.
NYC, thanks for making me a little neurotic. Now i must return to the beautiful bay and get back my edge (confidence) that i lost among my newfound nerves... the scared-type nerves. Getting stronger in terms of physical health and focusing on the mind will be good. Californians are good for the soul (if you can get through to them, and they are the open-minded type) and I need me my girlfriends nearby!
In a way, this has been a much needed and good transistion time in my life. being in between jobs is coinciding iwth in between life stages. I am only 29.25 haha, I do not dred the number 30, I intend to be active as i get older, and help start discussions on health awareness. Most times important issues will only come up if you are directly affected. What kind of world would we live in if people were already knowledgeable & cared about all the potential health risks we are all prone to? That's what i want to find out.
....ps about being in between jobs, I am glad i got to experience the corporate beauty world and i am more excited about reaching the women's market in a more direct and fun way! Goodbye stress!

| I had to email twice to get my passwords from my xangas.
I need to bloger so that it's all linked up with my gmail but then again, do i need everything linked up? nah, i'm smarter than that.
anyway, New York. Brooklyn, living in the nyc zone of life and dreaming of greener grass in San Francisco. Here's why:
1. family and the newest addition. I have a nephew now, and i want to be all about him and watch him grow into a perfect little Strong Man.
2. safety. brooklyn is tough not because its part of nyc and thats what people say. it IS rough and tough and though ye must need be nimble, there is a slight feeling of anything can happen at any moment in time ie, my boyfriend getting hit (by a hit and runner) and left for dead - those are his words and i believe it. The way something like that could happen is certainly not "beyond me" i get it, it's like that.
3. safety! after recovering from ACL Reconstruction surgery this past Feb 2009; I will be back on a bicycle first and though i had intended to get comfortable on a Skateboard, it's not going to happen this summer but by next for sure and for surely not in brooklyn where the streets only get narrower and sop signs erased [why havent more ppl seen the Simpsons movie, Why!?].
4.Why not? i miss my girlfriends and they would typically come immediately after family, so after approximately 4.5 years of living in nYC, saftey squeezes itself in there (yes, twice). I want to turn thirty living in the Bay Area so taht all us girlies can just book a crazy fun getawway weekend to watchi shows, lay out and lounge, drink delicious cocktails, play cards, and laugh our asses off all night and into the morning. Yehs, i miss my girlfriends.
5. Networking! Let me start with San Francisco, i dotn know you, dont know much about you other than you were too close to home so new york was more the attractive live life on your own setting of city; I am going to get to know you and enjoy learning how we can make things work! I'm antsy because I want so much to be about community and spreading knowledge and even gettingthings done ie, saving our oceans, beaches, and skate parks (thats the boy's influence). I'll touch on Networking in terms of New York because, that is how i know i am not YET ready to move back... Not yet! there is too much of an amazing netowrk here to ever want to leave, really, but since family and safety do come first, this networking will have to have an end and I am excited about beautiful san francisco and perhaps something in the non-profit sector/.
6. change up in career, but not really.
I am going to do it. I am going to do what i was not brave enough to do after high school (and before college - with logical rational reasoning to back my actions of course), I am going to cosmetology school to get my license and learn to master the craft of the salon biz, from the bottom rung to the top./ Who's with me? I know this change up in career path may seem random but i assure you, it's the end dream. not the interim dream to work for bumble. I've been there and done that and it was hard but i made it 8 whole months of intenseness that I will always take with me but also at the same time realized, I dont want to have to depend my life on "corporate" and its absolutely absurd the i was raised thinking they would be the only ones to cover me in terms of security in healthcare.
7. My boyfriend, best friend and love of my life, Michael poli is determined to change the world, and he's 1) set on california in the next few years for the next 5 years. 2) is going to need my help :) ANyway he's the one im working toward making a life with, and here's some great news, he's working on the same goals iwth me too.
more to come and previous posts to possibly be unprotected (only for the sake of timing and great clarity). | | |
| back from upstate new york. the weekend was beautiful and dreamy. i've spent many a weekends there but this weekend was Michael's adopted mom's wedding ceremony - it was gorgeous! it was at this stone church built in the mid 1800s overlooking a beautiful view of mountains galore. more to be continued...

| i remember when i was sick in our greenwood court apartment and my sister strolled out a tv in the halllway so i could watch tv and lay in bed.
thats all | | |

Sujin got married. the wedding was beautifl and tons of fun. lots of laughs at the ceremony inclyding the reception. i was so happy to be a part of it all. met all of their good friends, and in the midst of all th eweding game ploys (aka stresses) there is always room for laughs.
of coruse it felt longer to get back than it did to get there. the man i sat next to from anchorage to Ga (layover) told me of his trip: camping, fishing, hiking; and the animals he saw: bear, moose, bald eagles.... beautiful scenery and his description of it all was fantastic. it made me sure i would go back again and do those things... as for this trip, i gott o hang out with my good buddy paulchang, and we took in the day, caught up, laughed and reflected on life. what a brother, DEF one of my faves... always real and great company.
back in nyc. finally, it seems. took a bunch of cat naps, and hugged my bed as im readyng mysefl for abusy work week. its right after labor day, that means we launch a ton of properties we've been sort-of keeping from the market (for strategic ooh-ahh effects of presentation -- yes, we're the best) and well, i feel an early morning and a late night, but lets just hope for the former to accomplish avoiding the latter.
aiiite, hope ur holiday was wonderful. i had ablast seeing sujin (esther) and her famly, and anchorage is good, and i'm excited at the future and the near future. and that reminds me, i ought to start working upa timeline for mysefl --and that has nothing to do with my own marriage worries, (they dont exist to me) :) | | |
