Yippie, my birthday week officially started yesterday. Haha, I like to give myself a week of birthday treats instead of just a day. Yes, I am full of excuses to pamper myself, but why not. I got some good deals:)

Side rant: On Friday I went to Times Square to meet some friends for dinner, and as I was walking through I suddenly tripped flat on my butt, boy did it hurt. It was so embarrasing because all the people around me just gawked and stared but not a single person came to my aid to help me pick up my things or ask if I was okay. Seriously, that is one thing I don't like here, is that people just ignore unpleasant situations. I've seen grandma's fall and no one does anything, but I'll help them up. I mean it's the decent, and human thing to do, but that kind of thinking doesn't flow there. That was my mortifying moment on Friday, and boy did those times hurt. I guess it was slippery there because one minute I was up, and the next I was down split style. Only, I can't do the splits so it was awkward and painful.

Besides that my weekend was good. Meeting up with friends, watching Vampire Diaries, planning for Japan, finding a really yummy restaurant in Ewha, and ending things with some BBQ last night. Good times with good people. Every Sunday night, I dread Monday. I just want to stay on vacation for the rest of my life, is that too much to ask for? I had a really bad headache last night, but I slept very well, so I feel very relaxed and peaceful. Like when you take anesthesia and you are just really calm. I've been tired since I got back to Seoul, but I think my body is readjusted to being back. We'll see what happens after Tokyo.

I'm feeling good this morning. I found out I have school next Monday, lame. It seems my friends have that day off, but I only have from Tuesday till Friday + the weekend off. I'm excited for Tokyo, and I get to test out my new camera while I'm there. Birthday + Tokyo = Funtastic:)!!!

I hope this week breezes by. Wishing you all a fabulous Monday/week!!!

I got into Korean dramas my sophomore year of college and from there I became hooked and absolutely would rather watch a Korean drama than any American show. American entertainment could learn quite a few things from the Korean entertainment world.


You could say my love for Korean dramas sparked my interest in the language, culture, and eventually made me want to change my life and move to Seoul to teach and see life in new eyes.

It all started with...


This was my very first Korean drama...and I wish it hadn't taken me so long to discover how awesome K-dramas are. After watching this drama I wanted more, and eventually got into Japanese dramas (Hana Yori Dango, Kimi Wa Petto) and Taiwanese dramas (MARS, ISWAK, Devil Beside You) and my love for all thing Asian grew from just the entertainment side to the language and of course the culture.

I love the passion of the Korean language. I just love how it flows off the tongue...I don't know but for me listening to people talk in Korean or listening to Korean music is wonderful.

Alrighty on to My Firsts...
K-drama: Full House
K-movie: 200 Pounds of Beauty
K-crush: Rain
K-forum: Soompi (best site ever for all things Korean)
K-blog: Javabeans
Korean words: Anyounghaseyo (
안녕하세요)...Kamsamnida (감사합니다)
Korean phrase I love: Do you want to die?(죽을래)....lol when they say it in Korean I just love the way it sounds.

*Favorite Korean Dramas*

Golden Bride
Dal Ja's Spring

*Favorite Korean Music*
Nell
Epik High

Clazziquai
Big Bang

Note: A lot of people ask me what is the point of listening to music when you don't understand what their saying. My response is the language that is music has no limitations. I love the way it sounds, and I will usually try and find an English translation. But for me it doesn't matter so much that I don't understand the words, but that the song impacts me. The beauty of music is the freedom to listen to it.

I'm excited to experience Korean culture firsthand and not from my computer screen.
Best
