i've come to love the smell of morning. the coolness of air, coffee, breakfast in client's kitchen, freshly sprayed perfume/cologne.


on a side note, i saw a dead dog on the side of 495 on my drive to bethesda today. it was a dark, furry dog. i felt an urge to stop my car and give it a proper farewell as i thought it'd be a crime to leave the poor animal to a lonesome death, but traffic on 495 didn't allow me the time. it was a sad, sad moment. really.


i went to the mall to get hyungboo a birthday present. spent 15 minutes picking out a shirt for hyungboo and 30 minutes picking out shorts for chris. i never thought i'd come to a point where i can't shop near the men's department without slowly migrating to it and sneaking a peek for sales. it's a new feeling but i like it.

joy and relief.
