A blogger is born!

Hey Guys, I don't know how many of you still read this but I, Anne Choi will keep writing in it whenever I am confronted with anything that fits in this category. As you guys know by now, I like to write and yet have done no writing. Well that's just silly isn't it? If I love something shouldn't I pursue it doggedly? that's what I was taught to do with my faith and here I will do it with actions.

No one is required to read or comment. It's just for me to be honest with who God made me to be. :)

Love you lots!

ChoAnn

Makeovers

After a year and a half later, I noticed that this blog never got to live up to its potential. The hopes and dreams a group of ladies had never came to flourish.

So in hopes of bringing change, I have given this space a little makeover. :)

Who knows, it may be just what was needed.

So lets starting writing ladies. <3

Love is Like...

LOVE and LIKE have becoming interesting words in today's society. When girls tell their friends about crushes its not just

Girl 1: So Do you like him?

its become

Girl 1: So do you like him?
Girl 2: Of course I like him! Whats not to like?
Girl 1: No! I mean do you LIKE like him?

We say we love our fries or our pizza but is that the same as loving our moms and dads?

These phenomena have been explored and discussed to death when I noted that there is one area that is often overlooked when it comes to Love and Like.

When it comes to Loving someone and Liking someone, sometimes Liking someone is even more crucial.

Think of a relationship between siblings. These people are born into a family together, or even placed into a situation together that are beyond their own choosing. For the most part this bond of family creates a love that cannot be explained. As mad as you get as your sister or brother you still love them, you can't help it but you do.

The question of like on the other hand is very different. Often siblings are plagued with moments when they don't like each other. Like is conditional. Like is temporary and fleeting.

SO what does it mean when relationships rely on the temporary likes above the eternal and unconditional loves?

If we can't choose who are siblings are should we begrudge them by not liking them all the time?

I can't say for sure where I'm going with this but I know... that I'm glad I have the choice and I make the positive choice when it comes to my relationship with my family.

I love them and I like them and for me it makes my days sunnier.

Love isn't easy

But if you try at discovering the truth it is really worth it. :)

Do you believe in magic? ...For Ms.Heart...

This entry is dedicated to the one and only Ms. Hearts for her Half Birthday. Even though to many their half birthday is not as significant but to my sister Ms. Heart, this day has been celebrated in many occasions growing up because her birthday was always skipped due to the summer break.

Anywayz... in recent times our family has gone through a pretty Big CHANGE. What is that Big CHANGE you may ask? Well in September, Ms. Heart will become Mrs. Heart. As a result of this momentous life changing event, I have found that I have changed.

I am a girl who has always believed in love, but that being said I also believe in my independence and am in no rush to be in love. When the day comes, it will surely be an interesting event.

Well in light of recent events, I have been changing the way I look at Love. Now I am still young and do not want to get married. I love the fact that I live in freedom but after watching Ms. Heart with the Future-Mr. Heart, I find myself thinking about my future-Mr.Diva. Growing up with parents who have the legendary type of love that people can write the greatest love songs, stories, movies about we have high standards when it comes to falling in love. I want to be 90 years old and runaway with my husband to spend time alone; but in college I was constantly told that love stories like those don't exist anymore. People are too skeptical now days and believe that you can fall in love but don't expect something magical to happen. Well, as stubborn as I am I refused to accept this fact. I said I would rather be single for the rest of my life then settle with for anything less. I'm not saying there is nothing wrong with just falling in love, but seeing my parents and how much they love each I just don't want anything less. So when Ms. Heart met her future husband to be, my hope was renewed. In the mist of busy and crazy New York City life, she managed to find her one true love, or more like God brought them together to show those around them that magical love does exist. After spending one weekend in January with them, I was suffocated with their "cuteness" but I was also extremely aware of their pure tear jerking joy. You can't help but secretly smile and then make fun of them because you can't wait for the day that they gush over you and you future who. I still am a happy single independent girl but I look forward to grow up and know that I can believe in Magic.

So here's to Ms. Heart, the girl who is a living proof that magic does happen everyday.

xoxo

the cost of writing...

There is a cost to writing. A cost that many don't think about. A pencil and paper might be a buck fifty. A nice pen and fancy journal might be twenty dollars. A decent laptop/computer/ typewriter goes even higher than that. But even all that doesn't compare to the cost of time. The time it takes for us to realize that brilliant thought you had might be worth writing down. The time it takes us to hunt for the cheap or expensive utensil to write it down. Then there is the time it takes us to edit and refine our thought from a piece of carbon to a beautiful diamond.

Still, even with this great cost of writing, writing is a lost art form that is totally worth it.

Every thought is precious, every anecdote a gem. Write it down. Share. After all isn't that what helps us process our F.E.E.Lings?

Courage

Every day we are faced with situations where we can sit down and shut up and feel horrible about it, or we can stand use our God given right to say what we want to say and feel a million times better.

The difference in our choice being that little thing called courage. Some have it naturally build into them and so can stomp around telling the truth and will be admired or hated. Some don't and need a bit of help ( liquid courage anyone?)

Why am I thinking about this? As we are here and sharing our deepest feelings and fears I think we all need the courage to write it out. For example... how will "pen fright" be overcome if there is no courage?

Also... today something very interesting happened. I'm in a philosophy class and everyone was totally bashing the Christian faith and anyone who "dared" believe in such a "silly" thing as religion.

I am a Christian and am very proud of it. I can say that anytime and anywhere but put me in that Chrisitan and for the past few weeks I've been freezing up. I didn't want to sound like an ignorant goofball.

But today was different. Today I looked to my source of courage ( among other things), and I just calmly raised my hand and said loud and clear

"I am a christian. I don't claim to know all the answers and I certainly can't give an answer to any of these questions... But I know who I am."

Well something along those lines. And wouldn't you know it... A huge burden was off my heart.

I know that as a Christian I didn't really have to prove anything to any of them. I know that even God was okay with me not saying anything. God works the way he does and i know he didn't me to do anything. But I did. I spoke. I declared who I was with no fear what others might think. I took a swig of metaphoric liquid courage and now I feel so much better, because I'm probably gonna get ostracized for what I believe in but I know that what i did was right.

Whatever you've been afraid to say out loud, feel internally, whatever just let it go and speak up! People might not like you but at the end of the day you'll like yourself better. Plus I'll like you for it too ;)
