Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in while. It's been very hectic, and I don't think that I'll be able to write my post on my new nail polish design this weekend like I planned. :(
However, good things have been happening around here too!
1) A few days ago, my gym shoes started falling apart, so my lovely mother offered to take me to Target (I know, I know, Target is a horrible place for gym shoes) because I was so desperate. The gym shoes there were quite disappointing (a given), expensive (also a given), not very professional, and ugly (I don't know anyone that really likes neon colors ALL over their shoes. Neon shoelaces are okay, just not everywhere else). I was so disappointed, but needed shoes so badly that I settled down on one not-so-ugly-looking pair. My mom could tell that I really didn't like them, so she suggested Nordstrom Rack. By then, it was already 8 pm and we were on a tight schedule. We quickly went to the nearby Nordstrom Rack, which had TONS of more options that were so much better. I chose the least expensive pair (still about $50) and was kind of feeling guilty about it. My mom told me that it was okay since my feet weren't growing anymore. However, I was still feeling very selfish, so I almost put them back. Up at the cash register, I was almost about to tell the lady I didn't want them until she rang them up and said they were ten dollars. Oh my goodness. Ten dollars. The lady and I thought that it was a mistake, but it wasn't! I walked out of Nordstrom Rack holding the $10 gym shoes, thanking God, and having a mini celebration with my mom.
2) Though I didn't win my doubles match, I won my singles match in the first badminton meet! What a great way to start off the season. :)
3) As a fund-raiser for the badminton team, all girls are required to sell at least 50 small bags of Warheads candy, each for a dollar. In the past, my sales were quite pitiful because I was a very bad salesperson. I'm still a very bad salesperson, but I was able to sell 26 bags of candy in three days' time! Wooot! *This is all thanks to my very generous classmates. Or maybe thanks to their generous appetites for candy. Why people like sour candy is a mystery to me. Chocolate for the win!!*
4) My dad came home from a business trip! He was gone for a really long time, and the house just didn't feel the same without him. He also brought back great presents. :D
5) I had a great girl talk with one of my best friends today at church. She just cracks me up every time. Thank God for best friends!
6) An awesome video of Libera's new song, "The Moon Represents My Heart" (a much loved Chinese song), came out a few days ago. The most exciting thing is that it's in Mandarin Chinese! How awesome is that? It's not a full video, but it hints at a new music video that may be coming out soon. For those of those lucky enough to go to the Libera concerts in late March and early April in Taiwan, Libera might sing this song! Check it out right here.
Okay, well this is the end of the good things that have happened to me this week. I feel like writing this post is a great reminder of how good God is to us when we don't even realize it!
