Autumn Tales, Cheesecake Dilemma, Learning Humility
Just came back from watching Korean drama.. okay it's really called 'Autumn Tales'.. It's kind of like your typical Moulin Rouge plot except it's about two girls who got swapped as babies in the hospital- one is poor and one family is rich. The main character- Eun Suh- is extremely kind and generous but the other- Shin Ae- is cruel and cold. Eun Suh and her 'brother' have a great relationship and her parents love her. Well they find out they were swapped as babies and they swap back so now the good girl is living with her poor mother and her brother who is a thug. Yeah.. so the rich family and Shin Ae- the cruel one- go to the States to forget what happened... and one day they come back and Eun Suh and her 'brother', called Joon Suh, fall in love and there is family chaos over this 'incestuous' relationship. In the meanwhile Joon Suh's best friend, Tae Suhk is crazy over Eun Suh and he does great leaps to win her affection and of course, he is hurt. And then there's Joon Suh's fiancee- this needy, annoying girl- who tries to kill herself to make him stay with her. Yeah... so now Eun Suh gets cancer and Tae Suhk lives with her in Seoul to get treatment. I feel sorry for him, I don't understand the depth of his love to win this girl he knows he can't get to.
Yeah so that's the plot for you. :P
I only had one class today (hooray!) so I came home and attempted to make fried rice... I called my mom at least five times asking her specific questions... and omg, perhaps it was because I hadn't eaten all day so at 2:15, I tried a bowlful and it was absolutely amazing. I shall be living on fried rice for the rest of the year till my ears start spilling rice, corn, eggs and spam. HAhaha.. I had a fun time making it, laughing at myself for stupid things. I packed some for Robyn though.
Yeah... so my roomie, Robyn and I also went grocery shopping and I decided I wanted to make a chocolate cheesecake with a sour cream top and chocolate shavings (you know.. because I can't cook but I can make desserts)... so I bought all the ingredients.. but in order to make the cheesecake, we had to make room for it in the fridge so my roomie and I each ate a quarter of what was left of the tiramisu. LOL. We're in no lack of sugar here. Yeah so I wrote half of an essay and then my mom called with the cake recipe.. I prepared the crust which had to be baked.. and then I went to the oven and saw.... er... THERE WAS NO TEMPERATURE CONTROL OR DIAL TO SET THE OVEN!!! I flipped out. My roomie comes to examine the stovetop where the dial should be but it wasnt there. So I called my mom to tell her our oven doesn't really work and she bursts out laughing. -_- I then walk back to the kitchen and notice our stovetop had five dials- not your regular four. Turns out the middle dial was for the oven- it's just really old school. I was extremely happy though because for those five minutes that I thought we didnt have one, I hated our apartment.. how was I supposed to make muffins and brownies?? Yeah so we've got this ginormous chocolate cheesecake sitting in our fridge. Many people who come to visit ask us what we eat since they only see sugar, sugar and more sugar.
I'm learning to let those random acts of kindness speak for themselves- to let them slip away without saying anything and unnoticed. To learn humility and just know that my Heavenly Father would reward me for my doings. I'm just so tempted to tell my roommate, "I washed your dishes." and inwardly say "Thank me! Thank me! Acknowledge me for what I did for you." Yeah... it's hard for me because I like (who doesn't?) being praised for the good things that I do for others.
How are you guys doing? I hope you're all adjusting well to university life again just as I am to the city.
Yeah so that's the plot for you. :P

hellooo =) Wow looks like you're having an awesome time cooking and making food (it always makes home seem closer hehe with "FLIED LICE")
Random Acts of Kindness, they May go unnoticed..but just like how God made us in a "secret place" (Psalm 139), we are works of miracles produced from something in the hushhush....kindness will also produce in others and ourselves something like a Miracle in the long run.... sorta like a pay-it-forward process (even if it's quiet acts of kindness)
