to answer your question, anonymous, NO.

she is NOT PREGNANT.

omg.. please do not spread such rumor. i didn't mean to say that i would become an aunt THAT soon... though i figure pretty soon. :)



her bridal shower was this sunday. i had it all planned out, and i did SO well keeping it a secret from her.. printing invitations when she wasn't home, hiding them under my bed, sneakily handing them over to my accomplice (her fiancee), storing decoration materials in my car...

if there was one thing i couldn't hide, it was the paint from my pot painting adventure (for party favors) that i couldn't wash off my nails.

but don't let me take all the credit - my mom and sung pill oppa both are well-deserving of academy awards. not only that, my mom cooked all the food in just a few hours... and it was delicious.


let me just say, i specifically said it was a SURPRISE shower being thrown by the BRIDESMAIDS on the invitations. but somebody decided to rsvp to my sister instead of to me. hahaha.. it was an innocent mistake and made everybody laugh, so it's all good.

i'm working on uploading the pictures, so check my webshots page!


we played a couple of really fun games, including one called, "how well does the bride know the groom?" i asked sung pill oppa 13 questions about himself before the shower, and at the shower, we asked these questions to my sister. and for each question, she was to guess what his answer was to test how well she really knew him. these were the questions:

1. what is his favorite movie of all time?

2. what is his shoe size?

3. if he won the lottery, what would be the first thing he spent the money on?
a. pay off debts
b. buy a new car
c. buy a new house
d. take you on a trip

4. if you both have the afternoon off, what would he like to do most?
a. go to a movie
b. go out to dinner
c. stay home and cuddle
d. stay home and watch sports

5. what would he say is your least favorite topic of discussion?
a. sports
b. politics
c. the weather
d. other people

6. you give him the most points for...
a. being well-dressed
b. smelling good
c. having good manners
d. being a gentleman

7. if he was lost, he would most likely...
a. pretend not to be lost
b. stop and ask for directions
c. ask you for directions
d. stop and buy a map

8. if he could watch only one sport, what would it be?

9. where was your first official date?

10. if he could change one thing about his body, what would it be?

11. what feature of yours is he most attracted to?

12. his favorite kind of potato?
a. mashed
b. baked
c. fried

13. what is his blood type?

14. within 5 dollars, how much money does he have on him right now? (we had to call him for this answer)


she ended up getting 8 questions right.. counting #11, which she got 2 out of 3 answers right. but man, there were some really funny answers.... on both sides. :)

(after the shower, chris used these questions to test my knowledge of him. and i am proud to say, those 5 months of dating seniority really made a difference. hehehehe.)


now it's time to plan the bachelorette party!!

so my sister is getting married in less than a month, and things will start to get pretty crazy soon. they didn't even have 6 months to plan, and everything just seems a bit rushed yet still delayed. it'll be interesting to see how it all turns out.


i'm still trying to accept the reality of the fact that she's getting married.
i can't believe it!
SHE'S GETTING MARRIED!!
now she and i are going to be in two totally different worlds, and it'll never be the same.
omg, am i ready to become an aunt?

i can't remember the last time i passed on my normal 4-hour sunday nap. today, i went to work out at the gym, and boy, exercising does wonders. not only did i skip my nap, i am still going strong at 11:30.

can you believe, it took about 10 pounds and repeated, failed attempts to fit into three pants from last summer before i decided that i can't get by without exercising if i continue to give in to every food craving at every random hour. so alas, i've finally joined a gym and am committed to getting in shape no matter what it takes.

so look out... for the new jungeun. coming soon.

sleepy but can't sleep. i'm getting really hot from the heat being generated on my left leg as mimi sleeps against it.

it's so nice to be home.. in my bed, in my room.
whenever i go out of town, i try to bring my own blanket, pillow, bear, anything to make me feel at home, but it always fails. it always ends up just being a lonely hotel room, with unfamiliar smell, rough bed sheets, uncomfortable mattress, plain towels, dirty carpet, empty closet, 50 pillows, and no food. it helps me better measure the sentimental value of my home and grow even more affection for it.

it's funny, i thought i'd enjoy going on out of town business trips, but after all, i can't hide my constant need to be surrounded by familiarity and people.


man... i keep readjusting to get away from mimi but she keeps adjusting with me and ends up with her big fat warm body right against mine again.

had a strange dream.

dreams in general are strange, no? feeling emotions and experiencing situations when you're not even awake is just a weird thing. you know, sometimes i wake up thinking really hard about the last thing i remember from the night before so i can determine the particular time at which reality ended and dream began. then i feel either relieved or disappointed that whatever happened after that time was only in my thoughts.

it's interesting how sometimes you can hardly remember anything from a dream but other times, you can recall even the intricate details of it - maybe a passing expression on someone's face or a feeling that you felt.

a lot of times when i have a disturbing dream, i go through much of the day with uneasiness roaming around the back of my mind. and this is certainly not because i attribute any truth to what i've dreamt... though i have to be honest in saying that i do wonder if there is a real, concrete reason why i have recurring dreams.

it's like when i watch a scary movie. obviously, i know that none of it is real. but this doesn't keep me from screaming and nervously sitting at the edge of my seat at the time of the movie. neither does it keep me from being constantly reminded of disturbing or scary images from it for many days after watching the movie especially when i'm in a situation similar to what i've seen in the movie. i mean, do i even believe in monsters? no! but oddly, when i'm in a dark room or hallway, somehow anything is possible.

or.. it's like the night i happen to see on tv a woman getting kidnapped while she's walking through a dark alley. i'll probably worry more than usual about my mom/sister if she's late coming home and feel an urge to call so i can make sure she's okay even though i know that what i saw on tv is not related in any way to my mom being late.

i guess i'm just trying to say, it's not as easy as people make it seem to be to throw away certain images or thoughts from a dream just because it's a dream and it's not real. that's all.
