 Let's set it straight - Is the country Laos or Lao?Here's the answer This week... Things that make me happy
Movies I've seen this month
What they're saying about me
"She's a nut! Not too sure how else to describe an "at-first-glance" seemingly quiet girl who dances like a chicken when she thinks no one else is looking, who likes to pass off her "made up" answer for fact, until you look at her and see her hopelessly trying not to crack a smile, who WITHOUT FAIL remembers to put a line of dental floss in her purse before she goes out (and isn't afraid to use it after dinner, thankfully NOT at the table!!). I can always count on her to know the hottest hollywood gossip, and to dance till all hours of the morning with me." "My co-worker just told me that there was a premiere for Bridget Jones 2 last night, just blocks from my work, and we missed it! Hugh Grant, my beloved and the framework upon which my future husband is based, was just blocks away, breathing the same oxygen, and I missed it! If I had a friend here who was as savvy with E-news as you are, this catastrophe would never have occurred!" Guess what I heard... Oh my god!! This donut is so good! - Ras about a Krispy Kreme donut "I want to do! But what is paintball? There is no such word in dictionary." - Suwa, Japanese teacher "I am now skipping church to see if I am going to win my bids!!!" "YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA.....I won the felt tip pens!!!!!!!! Yippeee...."who let the dogs out...arf, arf, arf, arf"...."let me hear you say Y..M..C..A"....oh yah, who's your daddy!!!" - Renee Other favorite quotes:
A gift is an offering. A selfless act that adds something to someone's life. Something that they need. Have you ever walked by something and you just had this feeling that someone you knew would absolutely love it? Faith is believing when there is no rational reason to believe. Homer: "We Americans are England's children... I know we don't call as much as we should, or aren't as well behaved as our goody two shoes brother, Canada... who I should mention has never had a girlfriend... I'm just sayin'..." Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life, and love should not be one of them. The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. When your heart speaks, take good notes. Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way. It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. Sometimes to see the light, you have to risk the dark. |
Colder nights in Korea
10/4/2004
Korean automaker, Hyundai, rates #2 in value, behind Lexus! Surprising! Still, I'd rather own a mini cooper. It's cute, sassy, and somehow reminds me of a Ford Woody Station Wagon.
Alicia Keys is coming to Korea on Wednesday, Oct. 13th. I would have considered going to see her, but it's in the middle of the week. She's playing at the Millenium Hall, which is right next to Gangnam Express Bus Terminal. I wonder if she'll get a chance to walk outside and have some o-deng (boiled fish paste on a stick). Actually, it tastes better than it sounds. Well, this isn't good news... If North Korea were to attack South Korea, 1/3 of Seoul would be destroyed within an hour. If the U.S. did not help with air support, Seoul would fall in less than 16 days. Any sign of trouble, and I'd be on the first bus to Busan! Want to see the two richest businessmen in Korea? Of course, it's Samsung Group's chairman, and his son. Maybe it's just me, but whenever I see pictures of super rich people, I wonder if they'd had plastic surgery. Maybe because I'm being exposed to shows like The Swan, Nip/Tuck, and Extreme Makeover, that makes me a skeptic to naturally good looks. The only one of the above shows worth watching is Nip/Tuck, which TV Guide says is "The coolest show on TV." I've noticed it's been getting kind of cold lately, with lows in the 50's (14 oC). I know that to some in Canada, that doesn't seem very cold, but I grew up in a moderate climate, and I'm the type of person that gets cold in the sun. I really noticed it today when walking home, because my ears were cold. There are not too many things that I LOVE about the colder weather, but one thing I do love, is getting a chance to use the heating pad on my bed. I've never used one until I got to Korea, and let me tell you... it's FREAKIN' FANTASTIC!!! That's right, 3 exclaimation points! I love crawling into a pre-warm bed so much, that I almost every time I use it, I wish I were fat - really FAT. That way, I'd have more skin to cover more of the bed, thus feeling more warmth. Makes perfect sense, right?
