one more month!!: can u believe it guys? it's already been 11 months since i've been here. and there's only 1 month to go. honestly if i had it my way, i'd be finished this month and go on vac during the month of july, but no can do. gotta go my plane ticket $$. but yeah, one more month! and i'm ready to go home...

being here has made me more patriotic. towards america. it's weird. i thought i'd be more koreanized, but the more i'm here, the more i realize how "american" i am. and i'm surrounded by anti-americans here. not just some of the krazy koreans here, but even foreigners from other countries. it's weird not being the majority anymore. american majority. i hear all this crap about how america sucks and whatever. lots of koreans actually don't like americans esp the government. of course, i'm not talking about ALL koreans. so don't get the wrong idea, but when u watch the news and stuff (which is influenced heavily by the government) there's all this propaganda against america. my cousins say don't be bothered by it, but it still gets on ur nerves. my friend asked me about who i'd root for in like sporting events (i.e. olympics) i told her: "in archery, short-track speed-skating, taekwondo, i'd go for korea, but everything else: america."

of course i don't hate being here. i'm still having lots of fun hanging out with friends and stuff. the bus/subway system here is so convenient that i wish i had it back home. not the dart, but a real subway. but then again, i miss having a car. i'm excited to drive again when i get back home. in a car all my own~!

met 2 more celebs: haha and hong jin kyung. haha is a comedian. hjk is a supermodel, but she really ain't that pretty. just autographs, no pics. both said, "it isn't a good time."

a possibility that shaq is coming to dallas?!?! omg, i was getting all giddy when i heard this. that would be crazy~!!!! not sure if it's going to go down tho. how is cuban gonna keep nowitzki AND get shaq? prob not likely. i think dirk's gonna go. sad, but that's the only way we can get shaq. omg, it's making me excited just thinking about it! :D

another friend of mine is leaving soon. it will sho be quiet around here with him gone. self-proclaimed 'chief roca, trinidadian(?) teddy, king krazy'. he's going to china for a month by himself. grew out his hair into this 'fro in order to blend in. hahahaha.

well, i g2g. r, i hope you're keeping safe out there during ur trip. will update again. (^.^)v
