i'm going to burst!

OMG i'm so full right now. but it was totally worth it.

after a nightmare day of Bar/Bri MPRE review class-and it was truly a nightmare. it's just so inane watching a video for 4 hours, even with the 10 minute breaks and the easy, handy-dandy worksheets. it's the cheesy jokes and side-bar stories that make it more unbearable. you're already counting down the intrepid hours and then there are these stupid, corny jokes/stories that make you want to scream out "shut up and just get on w/the lecture!"

afterwards i was starving (the class is from 5:30 pm-9:30 pm) so Prez, Adidas and i went over to K-town for dinner at Seoul Garden. i've really been missing out on korean food this summer so the budaejigae was totally welcomed and delicious. then afterwards, to push myself even more, when Prez said he wanted to go to Pinkberry, which i also haven't eaten all summer, i just couldn't resist. yummy yummy except now i feel like throwing up.

interestingly enough, on the way home from the F train stop, i noticed a small craft service table set up and immediately snooped around the corner and noticed they were filming on the corner of Boerum Place and Livingston. i've been hearing spottings all summer about 1 of my favorite indulgences, Gossip Girl, filming around my neighborhood so i strained my neck to see if i could see anyone i recognized but alas, no Serena, Dan, Summer, Chuck or Nate in sight. sigh.

one day. o yes, one day.

tearful goodbye

saying goodbye to Gohm was a very tearful event obviously.

i made the decision to go w/Gohm to the airport to send him off b/c i didn't want him to be there alone. after all, he'd been here for over a year and it was sad to think that nobody could go w/him to the airport to see him off. everything was fine until it was time for Gohm to go into the gate. that's when the waterworks started. after he went in it just got worse. but not that sobbing-uncontrollably-can't breathe crying but those fat-soulful-tears-roll-down-the-face-dramatically type of crying.

then i had to ride the airtrain and the subway from queens to ktown. so embarassing.

Egg had been thoughtful enough to ask me to dinner before i'd gone w/Gohm to the airport b/c he didn't want me to be sad and alone and i was meeting him, Ryan, Wifey and Chen at Hanbat. aside from an initial tear at Egg's inquiry "are you ok?" i held myself together and had a good time out w/them. Ryan had never really been out for korean food so everyone ordered something different. Egg got the soonjooboo, i got kimchijigae and we got Ryan the atypical bimbimbap and we all shared pajjeun. i think he liked it.

random weird incident: while at Hanbat who walks in but Leegro! haven't seen him in a few years and always remember him as the goofy kid who would prank my house at midnight w/drive-by honkings and dirtbag his friends. so i chat w/him about what's going on and find out he's getting married in September. totally crazy. i can't believe Leegro's matured so much, enough to get married. later i call Jcrew and find out that 2 of the other guys in their goofy posse are also engaged. now i feel really old. and very single.

i introduced the crew to Pinkberry, even tho we were so stuffed from dinner and afterwards we headed towards the bar at the W for 1 more drink before i went home and slept alone for the 1st time.

the end of an era

after finally being able to talk w/Gohm, i feel much better and have hopes things will be ok. as such, i'm finally ready to share moments from those last few days together.

in honor of Gohm's departure Chow and Min got the crew together at 230 Fifth. they got 2 tables and 2 bottles which allowed everyone to get in on the guest list w/o having to wait in the insane line that was building around the block. it was really good to see everyone together and lots of ppl came to say their goodbyes.

of course, the boys all immediately dragged Gohm to the bar and then shots started flowing all over the place. Oppa made a promise to get Gohm retarted but at the end it ended up that Oppa got completely wasted and we eventually lost him at Third Floor in ktown where he was going to stay w/friends who were there and he had no idea where his car was parked. everybody definitely got a little toasted (at the least).

Urban was a little cold that night (it was windy on the rooftop) and she started to hug the little candles on the tables in order to keep warm. eventually she hugged it so close to her face that she set her bangs on fire and ultimately singed her hair. don't worry, Urban is fine and doesn't look any worse for the wear.

as always, we ended up at Gahm Mi Oak for sul rul tang. at some point, Guns decided to start chucking peppers at Johnson who was sitting pretty far away but was trying to catch them in his mouth. each one kept bouncing off Johnson's face and you could tell he was getting a little frustrated. eventually Johnson got to eat a pepper but he had to put it in his own mouth w/o Guns' help.

after a crazy and late night out, Gohm and i had to meet one of his old Cali co-workers for brunch. both of us were definitely hurting when we got to Hunter's and i couldn't really eat any of the food i'd ordered. after brunch we headed over to the Met in order to do the NY tourist thing. i haven't been there since my last school field trip so it was fun to be back there. of course, Gohm and i both acted as if we were on a field trip. after getting my museum map i rolled it up and kept smacking Gohm w/it. Gohm, like a typical boy, only got really excited when we went to the medieval armory, "cool, guns!" and "en garde" (at the sight of the swords). it was so funny but adorable.

after 3-4 hrs everybody was museumed out and we went to pinkberry. i have to admit that the 1st time i had pinkberry i wasn't a big fan. that was before trying it w/all those fruit toppings. so yummy. i have now become a complete pinkberry fan. deelish...
