those krazy koreans!: dang, i ALWAYS forget how koreans drive...

when i get in the car, i feel like i'm putting my life on the line. it's always thisclose to a car accident, but surprisingly, there's not that many car accidents. but like today when my uncle was taking me out to dinner, i thought we were gonna get hit 3 or 4 times. scurry.

i also realized how much i don't eat. i know i'm a picky eater, but when you come to korea, you realize that they eat just about everything. i was watching this tv show about eating delicious food, the MCs of the show were drooling over eating marinated pig skin. gross.

and one more thing, i get pretty car sick easily in korea. not only b/c of the driving, but also b/c of the enormous amount of signs everywhere. like manhattan. it's sign pollution, actually. and b/c i wanna know what kind of shop/bar/restaurant it is, i always end up reading as much as i can. thus contributing to my car sickness. i'm sick for doing that. >.<

btw, i'm starting to watch this drama called "bodyguard" with cha seung won & han go eun. but the reason why i'm watching this is b/c i think the main girl is soooo cute. she's from north korea, but exiled to the south and became a model now actress. she has a doll face.





ain't she so cute?!?! (yeah, the grandma is cute too...)

btw, one more "observation": u can be light as a feather and FLAT as a board, but if you have a pretty face, koreans love u. i.e., above actress.

aite. i'm out cuz i'm gettin' bit like krazy by these krazy (korean) mosquitos!! >.<

all's well that ends well: do u believe that? i'm not sure...

this morning my aunt was slightly getting on my nerves. then i found out that i started. ugh. then i went to get my hair done. and they screwed up. aish. it's way too curly. i tried to do what my mom said, but i'm just thinking "to heck with that" and just do a straight perm. my cousin ditches me and makes me walk by myself in the hot sun. she then also didn't tell me that she's leaving for a day so i had to ask. so she dropped me off and then i meet up with kihwan for dinner. it was okay. i had to walk back to my cousin's (different cousin) house by myself and was hot and tired. but when i got there, my bad day melted away. i had a great time and made me wonder WHY i'm not staying there instead. but we'll see about that later. anyways, i come back home to and talk with my aunt & uncle for a bit. and that was actually fun. now i'm writing in my cousin's (the one who ditched me) room and ready to end this day.

btw, i saw "bend it like beckham" on the plane ride here. great movie. all should watch it. :) and i watched this korean soccer movie with cha in pyo. that was good too.

ok, i'm too tired to write more. i hope my day's good tomorrow. (-.-)

¾È³ç!: "hi" in korean.

some of ya'll might not be able to read that. sorrie.

anyways, it's dang hot here now. feels like home. haha. haven't been doing much, but today will be a lil different. going to go get my hair done. :) it's the trend to have bangs right now and my cousin said they'll probably push me to do that, but of course, i don't have to. but they'll push. and push. i'm still thinking about it. remember a while back, i had a poll on it? anyways, everybody and their mom has bangs now. oh except for my aunt. she don't follow nobody. haha. also, i'm going to meet up with kihwan to give him his clothes and stuff. argh. so much stuff. i'm hoping to get a good dinner out of this, but then again, i don't trust guys when they say, "i'm going to buy you an expensive dinner". ha.

i'm at my aunt's place right now, but not really feeling that comfortable, but that's the way things are here. i might be moving to my uncle's place later on, but we'll have to see about that later.

btw, korean commercials are the best. i love watching them. more so than the actual program that is on sometimes. it's short and to the point. they're either funny, dazzling, or both. female celebs ALWAYS look beautiful. and all this is achieved in 15 seconds or less. nice.

ok, i better get off now.

btw, kobe bought his wife a $4 mil dollar purple diamond ring?!?! NASTY!

g'morning america! (^.^)v

in da mutherland: dang, i leave for 1 day and blogger changes on me again!

ok i'm here now. plane ride sucked. i slept like 1 hr. i thought i was lucky b/c i got a window seat (all were taken until 5 minutes later, one opened up), but then it was next to the women's restroom. anyways, yeah so i got here and i bruised both of my knees badly getting my heavy suitcases. my knees look like there's poop stained on them. i was butt tired, but i went to eat with my uncle since he picked me up. on the way to the restaurant, i saw my first starcraft minivan. meaning: celeb inside. anyways, i had to go to the bathroom when we got to the restaurant and lo & behold, it was those squatting toliets. my first. and it was RAUNCHY-smelling. ugh. anyways, got home and hung out with my aunt a bit and unpacked most of my stuff. i went to use their bathroom and they have this thing where it will clean your butt and dry it. very expensive. i just wanted to flush the toilet so i pushed this button when all of a sudden WATER STARTED SQUIRTING out of the toilet!! it was to clean ur butt! so water was getting ALL over the bathroom so i had to grab a towel and wipe everything down. the ceiling was still wet when my cousin came home. went to sleep around 12 and woke up to the lovely noises of bugs outside. :)

it hasn't really hit me that i'm going to be here for a year, but i'm both a lil scared and excited. i can't imagine myself living here for a year still. but hopefully things will be for the best.

*waves*

deciding whether to buy a digital camera...

i'm not gonna cry, i'm not gonna cry, i'm not gonna shed no tear: mary j. blige...

yeah so far i haven't REALLY cried. almost teared up a couple of times this past weekend...

1) when jennifer hugged me
2) when courtney hugged me
3) when linda was praying for me at dinner tonight
4) when i was listening to ho's cd he made for me
5) when grace, tina, sandra, & jessica called me from galveston tonight and wished me luck

but i DID start crying when i talked to da jin on the phone...

da jin's this really quiet and shy teen and doesn't talk much, but she's always so funny just sitting there to me. but i'm always wondering what she's thinking since she listens to her sister talk about her problems, etc. but when i was saying, "da jin, be good...keep in touch..." she was like, "why do you have to leave on my birthday? i'm so sad..." and that's when the sobbing started. uncontrollably. so i was telling her not to cry b/c her eyes were gonna get swollen, but she couldn't stop. ahhh, it was so sad so i cried a few tears. not much. i don't wanna cry cuz i know i'm coming back.

anyways, dang, it's less than 12 hrs till i take off. my mom's taking me to the airport so i know she'll probably cry. dang it. i don't wanna see that. and EVERYTIME i get on the korean air plane from dallas, i ALWAYS know somebody going. sux. this time it's a family who went to our Church for a lil bit. i don't wanna be all puffy-eyed on the plane and then they see me like that. >.<

ok, i won't think about stupid stuff like that. i just wanna get there safely. that's all i'm prayin' for now. please pray for me too. (have you seen 'final destination'?? omg, if i even think about the beginning scene where all the plane blows up...oh gosh...here i go...)

g'nite ya'll! next entry will be from COREA/KOREA/GOOKLAND (tiem likes to call it)!! take care my faithful readers!! (^.^)v

oh man, oh man...i can't wait to leave!

said goodbye to most of the youth guys & girls yesterday. didn't cry so i was happy about that. almost teared up a lil when jennifer hugged me. =) i'll miss all of them...
