2/6

thankful for

1) the sunlight.
went outside for a short walk during work
to get some fresh air
and realized that I haven't had that much sunlight during winter,
since I only saw it when I went to work
and during the short commute to a lunch venue.
just a couple of minutes under the sun made me feel illuminated.

2) outing with co-workers.
it was one of those days I was wondering
"what should I do after work"
when a co-worker asked if I want to join a couple of people
to hang out after work.
had a good conversation.

3) monitor and speakers.
I'm no stranger with watching movies,
but normally I watch with the lights on,
doing some other things while watching.
today I just felt like watching the movie,
so I watched with sound turned reasonably up
and the lights turned off.
movie was Skyfall,
and I had quite the theater-esque atmosphere going on.
movie was alright,
but it doesn't come close to Casino Royale.

2/5

thankful for

1) Michigan winning a game against Ohio State.
Michigan's basketball team suddenly rose to the top this season,
and today, they beat Ohio State.
it was a close game,
and I was jumping around by myself in my room
with every shot that was made.
Go Blue!

2) funny videos.

good laughs are always good.

2/4

thankful for

1) getting first choice preference for the last rotation.
it's known to be a pretty intense team, though.
thought it would be a good experience before choosing a final team.
who knows, I might end up liking it and make it my final team.  

2) being able to help out.
new audio equipment got delivered to the church,
and I got to help out carrying them into the vision center
along with some other praise team hyungs + team leader.
sat around and talked afterwards.

2/3

thankful for

1) good finish to the retreat.
we returned to Manhattan without problems.
I'll try to describe what I learned with action than words.

2) the superbowl.
watched with some friends.
didn't really care who won until
there came a time when the game was close,
and we somehow decided to have a dinner bet on who wins.
I was then cheering close to the degree of a Michigan game.
won the bet.

2) retreat.

1/31

thankful for

1) granola bars.
bought a couple of boxes of granola bars last week
and have been eating them for breakfast.
they go very well with the coffee or the occasional soy milk.

2) http://youtu.be/aTLySbGoMX0
apparently it's an unlisted video so I can't embed it here.
the animation technique is pretty innovative,
and the story is pretty cute.
