It was my first!

I had an amazing day. I dragged my brother outside in our jammies and made him help me make my first ever snowman. IT WAS SO FUN and honestly, it's more like a snow GIANT. Jawn is HUGE. Here are some pictures. Yes, I look gross...you can judge me. It's cool =)

One Fine Day

One fine day you're gunna want me for your girl~ la, la, la ^^*
I love that song! I feel like I'm lovestruck but I don't know by whom. Weird, right? But I have that feeling that I'm loved and it's a good feeling. It might be because I finished the last episode of Hyun Bin, oops, I mean Secret Garden (a Korean drama for those who don't know what the heck I'm talking about) =P. I heart Hyun Bin's character. He is so honest and loving.

Anyways, I also feel loved because I've just been covered with kindness from everyone and everything. This is not to say that everything's been going my way. In fact, not much has. But, every night this week, I don't have much to complain about. Well, there's always something to complain about, but I don't really have the heart to complain because my life isn't so bad.

I do have struggles but I know God won't allow them to bring me down because He is holding me every step of the way.

This year, I would like to learn KINDNESS. I want to learn how to love it, breath and believe in it because it's God's kindness toward me that I am: "hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:8-9).

I love an awesome and mighty God. I love a kind God.

Smile big,

I am my father's daughter.

I love my daddy.
He really gets on my nerves sometimes and he's one of the most stubborn people I have ever known, but I love him so, so, so much.

This might sound seriously lame to some people, because one of my most cherished memories as a child was when my dad would bring my brothers and me our favorite soda and each of our favorite potato chips (mine: cherry coca-cola & BBQ chips) on the nights whenever he came home late. This is the way he said, "Sorry" without saying it for being away from home all the time. It was special because my family never drank soda. It was a treasure for me as child. I was so excited that I got to drink SODA and at 10 PM!!! It was party time for 1st grade Ellen. And, my dad was a workaholic! The man often came home past 11pm. And until I was in college, I didn't know but my dad is a soft-hearted man...but you would never know it unless you've heard him pray.

Hehe, of course, since then he's done some JAMAZING things...and there are more specialier aspects about him...but this is something so small and sweet about my daddy that I love. It always reminded me that he's been thinking of us and missed us. And, he knew what we liked! <3

I am my father's daughter and I will forever be ^^

Smile Big,

Movie Review: The Fighter

Please, Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in the same movie? OF COURSE IT'S AMAZING!



Okay, so that was my movie review. HAHA
I rarely go out to the movies anymore simply because I haven't had the time. But today, I made the time and I'm so glad I did! First movie theater movie of 2011 and it was wonderful start to finish and 2 hours later as I'm thinking about it, STILL GOOD!!!

I love brotherhood. I'm not a brother...but I have two older brothers. I've seen them almost tear each others heads off. I've also seen them cry and embrace each other. Yes, not HUG but EMBRACE. So, I know a little thing or two about how crazy thick the bond of brotherhood is. VICK and JACKSON. MARK and CHRISTIAN. MOSES and AARON. JOSHUA and CALEB. DAVID and JONATHAN. JESUS and PETER. JOE (my oldest oppa) and PHIL (my 2nd oldest oppa). SHREK and DONKEY. LEGOLAS and ARAGORN. REMEMBER THE TITANS. HITCH and ALBERT. DUMB and DUMBER. BEAVIS and BUTTHEAD. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! >.< So cute!!!

Made me smile,
E.H.

The People in My Life

Handpicked by holy hands
Governed by His will, not mine
Come and go, stay and linger
Leave a past, make a future
Presently, pleasantly
making bits and pieces
of my life, my memories,
all these people, people in my life.


Smiling at the thought of you, world.

-E.H.
