Before the herds and swarms of people, I witness the wake of Chinatown and its very foundations: the earnest hardwork ethic of people that build their lives with their two hands.
To their calloused hands, leather faces, scruffy outfits and their arched silhouettes, I show respect. They are long-standing trees in concrete. Rooted and determined to survive.
In their midst, I am living my life and loving the realness of it all.

Nostalgy
I'm packing for my NYC trip. I'm so tired, but can't sleep since I gotta head to work early tommorrow for the budget report.
Speaking of KGV, our high school stories, detention, friends that passed away and family...a seemingly undissolvable ache formed in my heart. Closing my eyes, I remembered that boy, Timothy Law, and even though I didn't know him, I felt your grief for more than an instant. To be only 21, and have three of friends pass away to cancer, to suicide, to reckless driving.
These memories are yours, but let me borrow them for a moment.
On Sports Day, you and I talked, while you sat in your wheelchair with an IV drip extending from your hand. Though you were still on morphine and tired from chemo, you said one day you would get better and we'd have a basketball match. The light and hope shined in your eyes, while you said you would win. Believing with all my heart, I believed you would keep your promise...
Jin wan, shi jue hao shang hen dai. Ku ye ku dao shing tong. Na kk ta mol-a-sso-yo. Na al-go-ship-o-yo. Moreover, I pray that You bind his heart, help him to see beyond and also understand, that even though he might not know why You did it. Let him hold no anger or bitterness against You. But understand that Timothy testified of You, of Your Grace...and also unconsciously motivated him to live his life well. Because he has health.

A day of more than 24 hours
2:05 AM. 今晚有睡不著。天啊。 觉得这样子是最累的。 身体順要 休息, 但是腦袋關不掉．
Mmm. Peanut butter is my main backup sustainance. It has got to be one of THE most greatest inventions ever. I have already had 2 tablespoonfuls in the Joe Black fashion.
Dao di yao deng duo jou neng gou ren shi ni? Dao di yao guo do xiao chen jang cai neng yue dao ni ne?
I'm clinging to Your promise. You will lure me back to the days of youth. You will quiet me with Your love. You will rejoice over me with singing. Under Your protection, I shall hide in the secret place and await Your timing.
이젠까지, 그만해. 저는 한나님께서의 선텍을 기다릴게요. 그레면, 빨리와. 제 마음은 will be guarded.
