A Haircut

On Sunday, I was thinking about how I need to do something to make myself feel better. I needed some kind of a drastic change but what could I do? Then I remembered an episode of Glee when Quinn character cuts her hair short to make herself feel better after breaking up with Finn. I thought that would be a pretty good idea since there isn't anything I can change except my hair.

I asked my friend, who was way excited that I was going to be Rufio for Halloween, if he would get mad at me if I decided not to be Rufio and to get a haircut. He was fairly disappointed but he understood how I was feeling at that time. So later that day, I called my friend, C, to get a haircut. She was actually giving a haircut to one of my roommates, S, so it worked out.

The best part of this story is that three of my roommates and I got haircuts from C, and two of us dyed their hair dark brown. My hair is way shorter than it was before but I am loving the every moment of it. I usually don't like haircuts because I am not used to it but this one is just amazing! I think it's because I was hoping to look different. Anyways, I feel like a new man.

I Love My Roommates

I have the most amazing roommates ever. One would give me phone numbers to suicide hotline. haha One would make me laugh by joking about things that are serious. One would relate what I am going through to what he has gone through in the past. I love them so much and I am very grateful that they are thinking about me and encourage me.

Posting Comments

I just realized that my blog doesn't let you post comments. Sorry! I honestly didn't know that. I will get it fixed.

Edited
I fixed the comment box so you can now post comments. Also, I changed the template and fixed some stuff for your convenience. As you have noticed, there's no bar thingy on top of the page so you have to use the tabs I created below the name of the blog.
Also, I will be changing the font to different colors, sizes, and types.

My Heavenly Father Loves Me Pt 3

Don't you just love it when you feel God's love for you through your friends or people around you? Don't you just love it when your friends see you as God sees you?

I might have to change the title of this post "I Am Blessed With Great Friends" because I am.

Friends who motivate me.

Friends who encourage me.

Friends who change me.

Friends who make me laugh.

Friends who comfort me.

Friends who put a smile on my face.

Friends who listen to me.

Friends who give me advice.

Friends who serve me.

Friends who uplift me.

Friends who teach me.

Friends who compliment me.

Friends who cheer me up.

Friends who see my potential when I don't see it.

Friends who love me as God does.

Friends who see me as God does.

I can feel God's love for me as I think about this because He has put these wonderful friends in my path. I will give you an excerpt from yesterday's journal.

This is awesome!

"I rode with C. and S. to the reception and on the way back...they started coming up with this list of qualities I possess. I was very grateful that they were there to cheer me up, and I don’t know if I showed it to them but I am very very grateful to them. They are so great! Also, S. told me that once she and some of the girls from Brownstone were playing a game and they asked each other who they admire from Brownstone and supposedly my name came up few times. This entire time I was judging myself, beating myself up, depressed, etc but people around me saw a wonderful man who has a strong testimony of the gospel. Wow, I can really fake it. I am just kidding. I felt so amazing to know that I could be an inspiration to other people." -From Thursday, October 20, 2011-

I love my friends. I wish I can be more like them to be a friend like they are to me.

PS: I am kind of, maybe, possibly working on another post about "My Path" at BYU after my mission but I just have been slacking off so I haven't touched it since like two months ago. Sorry. I will finish it soon so I can work on the next big project.

So cute

Before I talked about how my patriarchal blessing says that I need to choose my friends wisely but I feel like they choose me to be their friends rather than me choosing them, and I am so grateful (that's not a perfect word to describe how much I appreciate them) that they chose me.

Putting Myself in a Category

I've been reading about mood disorders today and I realized once again how people try to put themselves in some kind of category. There is a category among depression called "Depressive Disorder Not Otherwise Specified" which, as the name describes, is a depression that can't be categorized into other major types.

This is me everynight :( jk

The real reason why I was researching depression was to see if I was in any of the categories and I think I found that describes me: Recurrent brief depression (RBD). You should read about it; it's not very fascinating but I got a disorder or it seems. I don't need to put myself into some kind of category. The only categories I need to be in are Asian and LDS (unless I think of more).

So there it is; I have Recurrent Brief Depression. Hooray! I always knew I was suffering from depression but I never thought I would actually be in a category. (tear)
(PS: I hope you all know I am *cough* half *cough* kidding about the last sentence. Read it in a sarcastic tone.)

I completely forgot the main purpose for this blog. I was going to write something more meaningful than talking about how I have RBD. Oh well, I guess I will post another blog when I think of it.

Scripture Study

Today, I remembered what my mission president told me. He said, "If you are bored, read your scriptures." I echo the same words to you: "If you are bored, read your scriptures." Elder Scott said during the October 2011 General Conference that "scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high." I like studying the scriptures meaning I need to study them more so that I will start loving studying the scriptures. I got work to do for sure.

"Learning, pondering, searching, and memorizing scriptures is like filling a filing cabinet with friends, values, and truths that can be called upon anytime, anywhere in the world." -Elder Scott-

I have been trying to figure out the best time to study the scriptures but I have failed miserably so many times. This morning I woke up around 5:30 and read a text message from H who told me that she was "super happy" because she had a good morning study. As I lied on my bed, I thought about what she said and decided to get up so that I could study my scriptures before I left the house. I even changed my alarm from 6:30 to 6 so that I will have plenty of time to get ready and study the scriptures. Sacrifices are necessary and they are so worth it.

How is your scripture study? Do you study them daily? What is your main focus when you are studying them? What/who motivates you?

True Thoughts Pt 2

This might be awkward too personally for some of you so if you don't want to read, don't. I won't know.

Have you ever felt like you are not good enough for someone you are interested, like, or love? You might think he/she is too handsome/pretty, too smart, too righteous, too something for you. You feel like you are not good enough for that person. You got nothing to offer when you keep receiving from him/her. (This really could be way personal.) You might not be intimidated around him/her but grateful to know someone so amazing and so motivational. You want to become a better person when you are around him/her. Even if you feel like he/she is interested in you, you don't want to ask him/her out or show interested in that person because you want that person to meet someone who is better than you. You feel like he/she deserves someone better. (Oh man, you are actually reading this. OH MAN, I AM ACTUALLY WRITING THIS!)

Like I always say, "C'est la vie" or "Es la vida" or "This is life" or "이게 삶이다." Yes, I just wrote in four different languages.
