wow, my xanga site still exists! hahaha. it's been so long since i've been here. what has happened to xanga? it's all changed now, i don't even know how to use it anymore. anyways. it's only been a year and a half but a lot has happened in my life. it's just insane how fast our lives move. in the midst of it all, though, i just wish that i don't get caught up in the superficial things of life and not lose grip of what actually really matters...and for some reason, this is so hard sometimes. knowledge is one thing; applying it to your own life and putting it into actions is another thing.

a perio midterm tomorrow (actually, in a few hours) and then midterms week all next week. already a second year in dental school. still trying and struggling to find myself & God in the midst of it all. life is complicated and utterly confusing but i'm desperately seeking simplicity by the Grace of God. i wonder where i'll be after a year and a half later. done with boards part 1 and probably busy seeing patients. but more importantly- where will i be in God?? i pray that i would have moved closer to Him by then. no more wasting time.

THE ring.

*edit:

I got my teeth whitened by one of those lasers. It HURT!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think I have ever spent so much money before. But...

I'm happy.  

for the first time ever in my life-

transferred in an ambulance & HOSPITALIZED for 3 days-

since the 24th til last night. im back at home now. WHEWWWWWWWWW. i hated it there.

9.24.07  7:30AM  Anaheim Memorial E.R. ---> x-rays, blood tests, IV injections, anti-acid medication thru IV, etc. etc. etc.

doctor decides to HOSPITALIZE me for an endoscopy thru my mouth into my esophagus and stomach-

1:30PM amulance comes and transfers me to a different hospital-

@ Tustin 2PM.

nurses wont give me FOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wont let me go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! continuous IV injection- makin me cold.

surgery nurses start moving my bed.

inside the O.R. (operating room) @ 1pm the 25th. sedation making me feel realllllly weird.

the endoscopy procedure begins. i wanna yak. REALLY SUCKS. traumatized by the experience.

brought back into my room. no energy. scared. humiliated. traumatized.

ok ok LONG story made short: CLOROX INJESTION. I DRANK CLOROX.  

and NO, i was NOT suicidal. YES, they served CLOROX in my drink at the restaurant.

will update lateR. gotta go pick up my prescription. my esophagus and lining of my stomach is burnt & messed up or somethin. i'll be on medication for one month.

hmmmmmmmm...but i wonder if the diagnosis is really from the clorox or from my STRESS these past few years........hmMmMmmM............

debating: attorney action or no attorney action?????!!! forget about money, i DO NOT want this to happen again to other people. Korean restaurants need to learn a lesson. i mean, clorox in the drink that you order at a restaurant? ARE YOU SERIOUS???!!! this stuff is seriously deadly, the nurses told me. which is why the doctors were probably taking it so seriously when i kept telling them that i'm okay. they were tripping out more than me. i was like....uhhhh....i am okay~~~ but then if you think about it, that was seriously POISON and i could've died!!!!!!!!!

i wonder how much the hospital bill is gonna turn out to be. with E.R. and ambulance and staying overnight for 2-3 days and the x-rays and tests and the endoscopy operation thingy...OH DANG.....................

brian welch from koRn came and spoke at church today.
PRAISE GOD for what He has done in & through his life and for revealing His glory through him!
i pray that this influential man will continue to be used for the rest of his life as God's powerful tool
in spreading the Gospel...

haven't read it yet, but i really like the title of his book:

Save Me From Myself
