  • change of name..

    i've request the forms and they'll be arriving next week.  the plan is to change my name from Kiyeon Kim to Deborah Kiyeon Kim but i'm still thinking about maybe Debbi Kiyeon Kim. 

    reasons for choosing Deborah:
    -i've been going by Deborah Kim from 3rd grade to 12th grade.
    -it sounds more mature and 'professional' than Debbi, thus, making it better for when i become a practicing dentist.
    -i've already gotten a box full of business cards from school saying "Deborah Kiyeon Kim" on it

    reasons for choosing Debbi:
    -it's the name 95% of people know me as. 
    -i feel it goes better with who i am right now (but probably not when i'm like 50..)
    -it's just cuter~~ 

    i suppose i could alway say "hi, my name is Deborah, but people call me Debbi"...and they'll always write that "e" at the end when they write me notes (ie. Debbie) and i'll have to live with it.

  • i need AMPLE amount of sleep so i can look my best tomorrow but here i am, way past my bedtime goal of 10pm, two inflamed pimples that's un-poppable (and a zillion other mini pimples i'll most likely try to hide with bangs and make up), and thinking about what tomorrow really means to me.  gosh, i'm not even sure what to wear yet.  ugh.

    Clinical Advancement Ceremony. aka 'white coat ceremony'. 

    i guess it didn't mean much to me because up till now, it just meant i'll be getting a white coat that i won't even be wearing in the clinic.  i wasn't sure whether it'd be as important as me entering dental school or graduating dental school. but i'm starting to feel it's significance lurking ahead.  i may not be called doctor yet, but tomorrow marks the day when i'll be allowed to serve people (and not just plastic bodies with rubber heads and fake teeth with no pulp).  kind of crazy.............. 


    aw man, i've got nothing to wearrrrrrrrrrrrr.

  • lists are always a good thing.  so, let's see.

    i need a change.  there's got to be a better way to manage my time.  i'm constantly exhausted and at this rate, i'm going to be burnt out before i hit my next set of 11 exams.  ok, let's start with just 5 changes.  i don't even know if i can make 5....

    1. QT.
    2. 8am classes suck. so get 8 hours of sleep the night before-- get in bed by 11pm!!
    3. it really is ok to part waaaay before bed time.  i'll see him the next day, 
    i n e v i t a b l y.  give myself some "me" time to do my own things.
    4. eat breakfast.  and COFFEE.

    i think i'll stop at 4....  5 is a push.  this is plenty for now.  :]

  • i wonder if anything 'ideal' can really happen. 

    there's always the 'ideal' concept of _____ in my head and then, there's the 'what actually happens' in regards to _____.  the blank could be anything.  love, faith, relationships, etc.  my experience has been, if it happened like what i've thought/hoped/idealized it should happen, it seemed to end/stop/go wrong.  but then the flip-side sometimes happen.  what i didn't expect to work, works.  what i thought would be bad, ends up being good.  what i thought i couldn't, i realized i can. 

    as much as i doubt 'ideal' anything being possible, i do hope it can. 





    i worry a lot-- i think it makes me sound like a pessimist.
    but i always have hope.
    i wonder if that makes me an optimist at heart...

  • Secret



    LISA.  i've found the perfect movie for you!!


    i wasn't expecting much from a movie that jay chou has written, directed, AND starred in, only cuz i know his starting point in the entertainment business was as a singer..  BUT, it was actually good!!  if you like sappy, corny, innocent-love kind of stories, you'd like this one~ there was definately a lot of the typical korean-drama sinerios but then the movie put an unexpected twist to all my predictions!




    ahhhhh, jay chou can sing, act, direct, screenwrite, look hott playing the piano,  ... <3 *sigh*

  • that mess over there is the far-left end of my desk.  i have all my currently using make-up, skin care stuff, jewery, etc out in full view.  if i don't see it, i seem to have the tendency to not use it.  :\ 

    i think, if i could, i'd want every drawer, container, closet to be clear so i can see EVERYTHING.  but i don't think i could stand how chaotic things will look, even if they're all in their rightful places.


    i think i'm taking too long of a study break.  this is crazy.  the two exams start at 1pm and i plan to study till i pass out.  at 4:30 am, i still don't feel ready.  i have yet to go thru all the material twice.  how do i miscalculate how much time i have to study.. every time? -_- 

    so let's see.  @ 6am, i plan to sneak out of my sleeping friend's apt (obviously, with that messy left end pictured, u can imagine how the rest of that desk will look) and sleep till 9am.  from there, study till 12:45 pm. 

    ok, i'll wash up and eat inbetween, if i remember.  ;]

    ugh... such an unhealthy studying pattern.
