Hello friends. I am sorry that I am not really updating any parts of my new life in Korea. There are a couple of technical reasons I won't mention... but anyways. These are some funny text books I am teaching Korean kids Enlglish reading with. There are basically about 15 books of diff. levels I teach with. Those amazingly high level ones are, infact, way easier than the kids I am reading these cute books to. Because, I read these same books to each classes for about a month, over and over and over and overrr...... it's quite challenging esp. when kids almost memorize the whole lines of the book, sing them while they take showers at home... so. I try my best to be as creative as possible. I can proudly say to you all though- "Kids love me". Even after I gave them some hard time for their misbehavior. They can really push me to the limit but I manage not to throw my pen at them, and in return, I get their love :) So yeah, this is what I do, in "Washington English School".

Beauties from my garden

2006-05-06T18:17:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to share my little happiness I get to enjoy when I am home. These are from my garden. They just come out themselves - I had to do nothing for them.

And, well, this one is from the last christmas. My poinsettia. I could not get rid of her... and I am discovering amazing stuff about her these days - check this out. It's producing honey! (the shinning little thingi)

I miss those days in paradise

2006-05-05T17:37:00.000-07:00

So, friends here started barbeque Friday - we will have barbeque on every Friday from now on. It is pretty lovely.

But, the smoke of barbeque does remind of my beautiful memories;
days in Hawaii, where I went out to a beach with friends like every week - we often had some nice korean barbeque and it was always AWESOME. Oh... yeah. How I miss the water, the chilling friends, the one coffeeshop by the water, my tan that has left me ... and the smell of plumeria.

My house

2006-04-18T19:35:00.000-07:00

So this is my house that I am living at. It's called "the mansion" by friends, but the house's official name is Chetstone.
It has almost 200 yrs of history. It's a house of vision and dream:
that a group of artists will live together and make a change in this world by doing all sorts of projects together (such as a documentary) and so on.
Right now, there are a writer/photographer and me. (there have been a couple of musicians, a film maker, a photographer.. etc)

Chetstone

And this is Quinnipiac River park. Just down the street from my house... like 3 mins walk to here. I should seriously be running... gosh.. I feel fat.

Beautiful, eh?

What I am doing these days

2006-04-06T10:05:00.000-07:00

This is the film that I am involved in - the official website will be up later.

And, this is the game I enjoy playing with our friend, the film director's beautiful and fun wife - she is the queen of games.

I never win this game, not the worst player either (which is pretty impressive as a Korean, isn't it) but I love to win someday.

Three of us + another Korean girl in NYC

2006-03-29T19:19:00.000-08:00

This is a bit late posting for this event (this happened a week ago),
but - anyways,
Yes, finally we got to hang out with Amber on her day off...
plus with a new korean (The Forum student), Eunsil.

It was so much fun,

I mean, was it ever fun ...

oh, I forgot to tell you guys that, as you see, I cut my hair myself (again!) ...
and I just love it -
I wonder, if there is really a thing that I CANNOT do!?

So, anyways,
this is a pic from Outback Steak House,
yes, we celebrated Mell's birthday a day ahead here,
and, oh heck yeah, Mell sure loved the night.

ARTISON @ Pink Elephant

2006-03-26T11:32:00.000-08:00

I went to ARTISON 06 last night, to check out this all sorts of christian artists' gathering at a bar, called Pink Elephant, one of those that celebrities come to in Manhattan. Artison's started in London first, now in NYC and the next one will be in L.A.
It was just kool to see film makers, fashion journalists, musicians, graphic designers, D.J., actors, painters,... etc. all come together, worship together and pray (that's right, in the middle of NYC, at a BAR!) for God given creativity to be fully expressed.

Annasthesia

2006-03-16T23:23:00.000-08:00

Last night, I went to see The Cinematic Underground's concert.

Well, not to mention that they composed the original score for the award-winning Sundance film, "Brick"... this family (I think all the band members are family + extended family) got some darn good genes inside out.

Umm.., yeh, let's just put it this way... I was changed to a whole new person after I was done watching their performance.

At C.O Jones

2006-02-23T19:43:00.000-08:00

A Mexican bar & restaurant called 'C.O Jones' - where you can get a half price Margarita from Mon. thru Fri... and they have FREE burrito bar till 8:00 pm. Very kool place to go. Ah, they've got some interesting art work on the wall (very Delvyn Hunter's style :) ) as well. Although - I had a very random experience here about a month ago, that somehow me and my friends'(girls) drinks had something in it that made us sick and so when we got out to go home, feeling something's not quite right, a couple of guys started following us kinda stuff... yeah, not kool at all.

But I don't mind coming here any time with these friends in this pic, Rich Hodge and Lisa Eisses - they (and their whole families) are the best of the best. I love these two, already.

Something got stuck in my head.

2006-02-15T15:20:00.000-08:00

A guy said to Bono, "Stop waiting for God to tell you what to do. Join what He is doing."

From there, Bono was changed

YWAM VS Brazil Government

2006-02-13T23:45:00.000-08:00

Here is one major controversy that's about YWAM Brazil trying to reach the isolated people groups in the Amazon. I am impressed that it's on CNN news now. Take a look :

Koreas to march together in Turin Olympics opening ceremony!!!

Although they have marched together at two summer Olympics, the Turin Olympics will be the first Winter Olympics where North and South Korean athletes will march together under the unification flag at the Opening Ceremonies. Because North Korea did not participate in the Salt Lake City Olympics, it was not an issue in the 2002 Winter Olympics. North and South Korea first marched together in 2000 at the Sydney Summer Olympics. They marched together again in 2004 in Athens.

Superman!

2006-02-06T22:22:00.000-08:00

This is addicting!!! Shouldn't have started watching it.
There are lots of crap in it but.. hey, Clark Kent is one cute man.

It's an interesting idea though, that if the human being are as human as the superman (who is an alien) then we don't need him to save us from troubles. It's the human nature that makes to humble myself - nothing to be proud of, most of the times.

Superman reminds me of the perspective of us. It sucks that I need an alien to tell me who I am.

I just felt so good about my life

that I wanted to just spill it out somewhere -

...happens to be here.

I am neither a millionaire nor a beauty queen (sadness)

Don't even belong to this country as a citizen (ah..yeah. it's been not that easy).

Just...I am blown away by the strengh of my Father's arms

that are holding me so tight, no way I can not feel it.

Man! It's great to be loved!

Manhattan

2006-01-30T16:37:00.000-08:00

Finally here! After a few years of being a serious country girl in diff. places, it was such a refreshing time to be here in Manhattan. But, you know what, I can't live in cities like this anymore - I guess I AM in a way... a country girl after all.

I'm guessing this is Mtv live concert studio or whatever - if not, tell me.

Empire State building... it was red and yellow on that night.

The main Mc. Donald's chain. I stopped eatting Mc. Donald's for quite a while... but I woudn't mind tasting their breakfast again sometime.

Ground Zero... it's spooky that people see ghosts there from time to time... Ooooooo... Anyhow, I love to come here again to get some better shots...in daylight.

10,000 Homes

2006-01-24T08:15:00.000-08:00

When I was asked to create this brochure, my computer totally freaked out. So I had to send her to Apple Medic :) center and replace her RAM and CLUTCH ( I am really not sure what Clutch are). Now She is fine.

Oh, thanks to Jeff who let me use his friend's computer and finish up designing and printing for 10,000 Homes.

Yale Bookstore

2006-01-21T15:29:00.000-08:00

It's so nice and warm these days, feels like Spring!

I gave a little visit in the morning to Yale bookstore - Barnes & Noble. I could SEE and HEAR many diff. fun characters from diff. countries such as India, France etc... of Yale folks there. So much fun. And my dear friend Mell bought me a delicious scone!! They have really good scones ... yummm. Things always taste better when I don't pay for it. lol. Ah, what a great Saturday.

Jason Upton

2006-01-21T14:20:00.000-08:00

A couple of days ago, me and my friends went to this vineyard church to attend a worship/concert of Jason Upton. Forgive me, this was my first time noticing his name and voice... he has an incredably amazing voice though. I admit. But um, the whole church fellowship kinda scared me out, or made me really sad I should say. Not all of them of course, but many of the kids and elderly people seemed so into the FEEL of spiritual satisfaction, that I wondered what would be different for them after when the powerful sound of Upton's voice is gone.

(... I enjoyed the nightout with my friends, by the way)
