Feeling like I can never get enough sleep. Come three....I am nodding off. But then again...I should be sleeping now instead of updating the world on my life...

Nothing much to update you on. Korea...I don't want to annoy anyone by always talking about it...but I do...I do want to live there...not for good...but for a little while, so I can get a taste of it.

For a while I was convinced that I didn't have to actually live in Korea to fill that empty feeling. But it's not all about that empty feeling. It's more about the lifestyle that I want to immerse myself in. Sigh...

I don't long to go back as much as I did right after I came back from Korea in late March, but I still have that longing. I need to fulfill that longing....or I'll just grow old...regretting. At least if I do go, I'll know. But this isn't the simplest decision to make. I would be leaving my friends, my family, my love.. for a whole year!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


I could be clouding myself in a false adoration of Korea. I could hate it there. I may even get really homesick. Why? Why do I want to go so much? Is it really any different? Whenever I see a plane fly overhead on my drives home from work, I get that weird mushy homesick longing feeling. I think to myself..."I wonder if that plan is coming from Korea"

I look at the Korean Air ads on TV and get that longing feeling...I took United to Korea though...

These days, the only radio I listen to at work is korean radio. I'm basically listening to korean all day long. I'm listening to it as we speak!


The weekend was good. We had mother's day dinner at Macaroni Grill. Mom liked the pasta dishes. It was actually her first time at an Italian place. Carol and I decided we need to take her out more...LOVE YOU MOM!

Brian was here over the weekend so he could have dinner with his folks on Saturday night for Mother's Day. It was very nice having him here. My mom said that she liked his voice. ...hehe...I never notice, but I guess Brian has a nice voice. Very manly.

Brian and I had yummy Pat bing soo on Saturday, but the Kiwi was hard! bleh!

Saturday night after dinner with mom, I went to meet Sheila. It was nice to see her again. We went to Bin Bin Konjac. I'm so glad that I'll be hopefully seeing more of her in the near future!

Congrats Sheila!!!

That's it for now...

It's been too long

It's been way too long since I have last written....
Korea has come and gone...(it was great by the way!) It was very tiring, but I had a really good time getting to know my cousins and my aunts and uncles and grandparents. I even went to one of the cities of Busan called "Suh Myun" and did all the things that young people do there. Here is the list...

1. Ride on the subway
2. Watch movie "The King's Man"
3. Eat spicy rice cake, pah jun, and fish cake soup at one of the street vendors...all for $4.00!
4. Have yummy Kiwi drink for $1.00 !
5. Go to the bookstore
6. Go to the Lotte Plaza department store.
7. Go shopping for cute earrings for my sis at the never ending row of outdoor vendors.
8. Take sticker pictures
9. Buy cute stationary at the neighborhood gift shop.
10. Shop at the underground shopping row right by the subway....(stores are tiny!!)


This all happened in one day~ whew!
