I realized how physically weak I was. I went to the gym today with my sister, as a weekly routine which begun last week. I should really be going more often, but because it takes so long to recover from going to the gym once, on top of my busy schedule (and my excuses), I have concluded that going to the gym weekly is the best routine for me. I think I did about 40 squats today, and other arm exercises for about half an hour… I got home and I passed out on the floor for about an hour! I had such a hard time getting up for a shower. Even now, I don't feel my legs… ahaha. I definitely need to work out more often, before I hit that 30 mark and it will be extra difficult to work out.
I met up with my high school friend that I haven't seen for four years. I thought it has only been two years, but he told me that he was away for school for four years now. Wow… time flies! It was nice catching up with him, and most of all, it was encouraging to see his thankful heart and also to know how God has blessed him with wonderful people in his life, especially while he was away. I'm proud of him for passing the bar exam and becoming the one and only lawyer in our circle of high school friends!

no.381 140516 Thank you for the night with my friends
I met up with a couple of my high school friends for dinner, and we headed over to some networking event that my friend's boyfriend is in charge of. When my friend asked me if I wanted to, I had originally said yes. However, I checked the details and it seemed pretty boring as it was totally unrelated to my interests. I was thinking about just going for dinner with them and skipping round two, but I wanted to spend more time with them so I ended up attending the event. It was certainly irrelevant to me, but it wasn't as bad as I imagined.
Now it's time for bed. Good night!

no.31 130531 Thank you for my high school friends

| Dig in! We ordered so much food for the four of us! |
We are reunited!
Well, only about a half of us are. I have another group of close friends from high school (my girls!) and we recently met up as well, but I'll leave that story for another day. Anyways, there are about 10 of us who graduated together, and we all went to prom together except for one friend. I wasn't close to all of them when we were still in school. That's probably true for most of us. We definitely got closer after we graduated and when we began university. Since high school graduation, we've been meeting and catching up once in a while. The majority went to university in Toronto, so we usually met up once in summer and once in winter after our exams.
Our group began to fall apart after university, as each of us went to pursue our own goals in life. Some stayed here, some went to the States to do their maters, and some went back to Korea. It certainly has gotten harder to see everyone at the same time. The last time we met up was last Christmas. I went to two separate reunions - the first one being at the airport, and the second one at a local coffee shop. Why at the airport? One friend from Boston was stopping-over at Pearson, so me and one friend went to see him there for a couple of hours. Another friend from New York came to visit her relatives, so two friends from Toronto and I met up with her for a coffee. She stayed here for a bit at the time, and she slept over at my place. We had a fun time of long night talks.

Although I barely get to see some of them - maybe once a year, it still feels like it was just yesterday that I saw them. I guess that's what I like about us. I really wonder what it will be like when we start to bring kids to our reunions. Well, no one is married yet, so we'll probably have to wait another few years for that to happen. Hopefully by then we will have a loving husband or a loving wife by our side when we have our get-togethers!
I'm thankful for my high school friends. I'm blessed with these wonderful people in my life. I'm thankful that everyone is doing well at their own place - whether they are working or in school. I'm proud of all of you! I'm looking forward to the next year, the next five years and the next ten years with all of you!
