R-E-S-P-E-C-T

A little bit of respect goes a long way.


A simple rule of thumb for socializing that I learned quite early on: "If you've got nothing nice to say, then don't say anything."


That's all I'm gonna say. I'm rising above.

LOST: My Favorite Character - Sun

SUN (白善華)

Sun (played by Yunjin Kim) is definitely my No. 1 favorite character on the show. She's very hot and I really like Kim's portrayal of a multi-layered Asian woman. Not to mention, her always Emmy-worthy performances. It's a shame she hasn't been nominated yet. Here's a heartbreaking clip of when Sun witnessed Jin's apparent death.....



WHO IS SUN?


Sun is one of the 48 crash survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. She was introduced as a stereotypical submissive Asian married woman. Later, we find out she's actually a very deceptive person who would do anything to protect herself.

On the outside, she's nice to everyone, loves her husband Jin, helped her friends on the island in many different ways.

But, she lied about not being able to speak English. She kept her own affair with another man a secret from her husband. She shot and killed an unarmed "Other" when the woman was deemed a threat to her own safety.




MAJOR EVENTS OF SUN

On the Island, she found out she was pregnant but was not sure who the real father is. When it's revealed that the father is indeed Jin, she has to face the reality that she will die from the pregnancy like all the other women on the Island before her.


At the end of the 4th season, pregnant Sun escaped the island with Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, and baby Aaron (in the outside world, they are the only 6 survivors of the crash and they have to lie to keep their friends safe) moments after Jin "seemed to have died" from the freighter explosion.

In the future, Sun gave birth to her daughter Ji Yeon in Korea and has taken some control of her father's shady company, which is believed to be linked to the bigger Island conspiracy. She has also contacted Charles Widmore, one of the main conspirators in order to locate the island.



MY PREDICTIONS OF WHAT'S NEXT FOR SUN

We now know that season 5 will focus on the OCEANIC 6 and why they must or why they want to go back to the Island.

I don't believe for a moment that Jin is dead. The writers must keep him alive because that's the only reason for Sun to want to go back.


Right now, she is the only one who seem to have no ties at all back there and would definitely be the hardest to convince. She blames Jack for the "death" of Jin and she has a daughter to raise in Korea. Logically, she would ignore Jack's request to go back.

Unless, of course, Jin is still there....

Germinic


Germinic....

That's a clever new nickname given by my sister. I, on the other hand, call her "Victeria" (her name's Vicki, btw lol) cuz she passed on the neverending cold to me last week.

Oh, I've never been this sick for years... I've got some serious upper respiratory tract infection (cough, sneeze, stuffy nose, minor fever, chills, headache, sore throat) and I'm on a course of antibiotics to fight it. I just feel tired all the time, cough like an old man, and need to clean up my runny nose every 10 secs....

Haven't updated for 20+ days.... no mood to write anything. Just still waiting for a job offer. sigh. It's a tough world out there.

Somebody bail me out....

One Month...



Today is September 14. A month has gone by. Thirty-one days with nothing to do....

No specific purpose in life, no sense of security, and declining self-confidence.



It's like I've entered a bridge to nowhere (not in Alaska though, haha). Everything is still an unknown.




I revisited campus on Friday for the Philosophy Dept. Awards Night... It was good to be back, it was like returning home yet it's not exactly home to me anymore. Actually, it felt more like a deja vu... it was like I FELT LIKE I've been here before, but it was just a feeling, nothing was realistic about it, nothing was familiar anymore....

With Prof. Kim Chow-Morris, enjoyed her American Pop Music class a lot!!!! Learned so much about the history of pop music and the stories, causes, and social impact of each genre. Beatles, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen are just some of the artists I started listening to and fell in love with after this course!

So Dark...


I felt extremely depressed in the past couple of days. Some old glitches along the path of life resurfaced while new ones emerged.

I feel really lost and the sense of insecurity is eating me up inside out. I'm now at a place where I can't see the end of the tunnel, it's all so dark. Too dark.

Last night, I relistened to Martina McBride's version of the "Help Me Make It Through The Night" on her Timeless classics remake album. The acoustic arrangement with pedal steel solo, her intimate and vulnerable vocals were a perfect match for the mood of the night and how I felt.

Dark, dark, dark....





Martina McBride - Help Me Make It Through The Night (Live)

Yesterday is dead and gone,
and tomorrow's out of sight.
It's so sad to be alone,
help me make it through the night.
