home is home

inspired by Jenny's post :)

I miss getting woken up at 9 every morning...simply because my mom can't stand seeing me sleep in and waste the day away. She's the reason I can't really nap even when I'm tired.

I miss bothering eunyoung by singing nacho libre to her when she's trying to study for AP biology. And then falling asleep on her bed and making her sleep on my bed instead.

I miss the rush of 5 people in the house getting ready for church on Sunday mornings. As early as we do have to get up, it's just a nice adrenaline rush when I'm running from the shower to the bathroom downstairs to brush my teeth and then zipping up my mom's dress on the way down, grabbing an apple slice my mom cut for all of us. And then running back upstairs to get my mom's advice on my outfit and vice versa.

I miss the way my mom jumps into my bed in the morning when she wants to wake me up because her body will make my bed instantaneously cold. But then...most mornings I just complain for 2 seconds and we both fall back asleep for about...30 more minutes of blissful sleep.

I miss going to Starbucks randomly at 8 PM with shwang & nasus, to "work on stuff" but really just talk..get out of the house, listen to each other, vent, go see Ross & the other lady.

I miss doing the dishes alone at home when my parents are out. I can turn up the music and sing my heart out for no one to hear :) Just me and Jesus. and the dishes. T-hee.

I miss our compulsive shopping days in Old Town Pasadena. Same places, all the time. Zara, Urban, 21 Choices, Neo 39, H&M. We are so predictable<3

I miss taking jogs around my neighborhood. I've been meaning to do it in Berkeley too but...I never seem to be able to give myself enough time before drama team meetings on Saturday mornings. Plus the rain just doesn't help anymore. Perhaps when it stops raining so much...
