2009-06-22

There has been tons of things to handle with me since my life totally got changed from a being student, job seeker.

Being a boy, playing in the school was pretty peace that I won’t be again. And I really miss my school life. Drinking a lot with my buddies on Friday night. Working out everyday, checking out well balanced gals at the gym They are all dreams only dream..

Okay. I should tell you guys what things happened to me while I was forgetting to visit and update my blog.

08/07/14> I got noticed that Hyundai Motors Co. officially hired me.
- started to get trained at Hyundai Pa ju Training Institute
to become real Hyundai man

There hasn’t been any guy in my major who work in Hyundai motor which is Global Company and most young people in the Uni. wish to work in salary man field. But I got that job!!!
Thanks God. Does it happen to me? My heart was pumping so fast when I saw my name on the list. If I ever picture what I’m doing now, I wouldn’t be happy at all lol

After about 1 year break, I now would like to go with this blog. This is to improve or keep my eng and this would be good stuff to recall my current life when I get older.

This will go on soon again

Build came back. Sorry for being lazy for past one month due to heavy work around me.

Anyway, today's weather is awesome unlikely ugly weather that has been past few days. I went to my school again to enjoy walking myself with fresh air and sunshine. Since my school has built new small fountain, there are many students, chatting, hanging around it. They looked so peaceful. wish I was one of them.

Gwanhanli beach popped into my head and I ran out to it. There was my camera on my shoulder and a pack of smoke in my back pocket. Ah,, Coffee Bean Coffee bean hit kept hitting my brain on the way to the beach. They have the best coffee!

Coffee was my plan but I was holding a can of beer when I came out of GS store
lol drank straightly it and lied down on the beach, closing my eyes. Great song! from sea made me fall into sleep. This beautiful and cool think could only happen in Busan city. Lovely Busan!!!

I'm planing to go somewhere for travel in a week but I haven't decided when and where since some problems has to be sort out. Manila? Japan? Domestic travel are in my plan. Whom I go with? Of course me! and no one. Going travel myself has somehow different joys as there would be tons of chances to meet new people on the street, in bars, in the bus. Chances are everywhere. Only people who know how great it is are able to catch chances and they will make fresh memory with strangers in new places.

Some of Busan CDI friends are leaving for their home and my friend Andy also leave in few months. I used to be sad easily when I say "Good Bye" Bye,,,Bye,, I hate this word. I think that's why people say "take care, or see you" Seeng many people come and go made me more strong. is it good thing or bad thing? It's kinda process to grow up mentally? otherwise would be the step to be adult :(

Tomorrow is Friday. seriously want to be drunk not to think anything for 3days. I don't like this solution to forget but only this time will be helpful,,, I Believe,,,

Good night all!!!! and have a great weekend!!!

This is the card.

May 21, 2008

I saw an envelop in my post box when I was coming up to my room. thought that it was utility bill but it wasn't. A small pink card was in it. It's officially the first one, saying "happy birthday Seo! " and it's from Dunkin Donuts :) My birthday is 6 of June though. They didn't want to be late to say that I guess so. It has a free coffee and donut coupon,,sweet!

There's going to be school party from tomorrow and it lasts for 3days. I thought 'Students may now be really busy to prepare for party and super excited and they will affect me good way to be more happy' my guess was right. they were really busy, building tents for bars and making stages for performance that they has been preparing to show. they seemed really happy and I became happy. in the while. I felt a bit isolated. I was one of them, preparing party with my friends under the sunshine a year ago. but now there wasn't any one whom I know. right.. people need to be socialized to survive.

After I got back home, I started thinking about why people want to join clubs they like or people make clubs to attract others. My answer would say people want to feel identity. No matter what they are looking for, They will join something they like and they will settle in a group when they find. and then they would start feeling more safe. you guys would think it's relatively involved in people's interests, saying it's not about identity. I'm just a person who never studied about this knowledge thing. I'm just said what I thought today :)
I found sound sleeping. Well I don't actually remember where I was told this sleep aid stuff but I thought it would be good to listen when I happen to be struggle from sleeping problem or when I do meditation Sunday morning. cool!!!

The main picture in my blog has to be changed since it has been for past 6months. I like it though. it was made by my buddy, Andy. but to get different mood, it's indeed. What would it be good for main picture. I like mainly thing and Andy got exact my point when he made current picture over there. it's tough,,tough,,tough,,,I need my friend's opinion...

May 19, 2008

Tiring and tiring day has been for past few days because I haven't have enough sleep to prepare for Monday which was sort of important to me. Due to lack of sleep, my brain doesn't work properly now. I didn't want to skip writing my diary though. So I'm here now.

There was Lotte giant baseball game at Sajic stadium last Sunday but the ticket for game is still on my desk. I didn't go to see it. I'm so cranky now.

It was last Saturday that me and my K-friends got along to cultivate our relationship. From our talk, I knew Mr, J of mine showed his mind that he truly likes her to Miss, B few weeks ago but he didn't make it. B and I has known for a year and she is always bright and friendly to me. A week ago, I saw her around my home and called her. She ran toward me. "Hey, sweetie, show me how much you love me!!" it was joke. But she hugged me :) it wasn't supposed to happen though. she is a really SHY girl. 'probably she really thinks I'm a good friend of her and so she could hug me without hesitating' I thought like that and I didn't mean anything that she hugged me in public. but now I know she was bounding. She could be really upset or feeling guilty because she know Mr, j has been really sad. I didn't tell that occasion to my friends cause Mr, J was there with me and other friends. It's not good for us, all friends were really close together. but now I think we can't hang out all together for a while. sad..sad..

I met my friend's taylor after midnight. It was late to hang out but I wanted to say hi to Billy who came to korea to see my friend, Taylor. I don't know where they are in a relationship. Anyway, I could see them when I got in Thursday party bar. They were talking some strangers and it turned out they were drunk Japaness who wanted to speak in English. They were really funny though. "Seo!!!" someone called behind me. Mel was there again :) inside of bar was packed and noisy so we took a sit outside. Billi was a hot girl as my friend. Dwane said more than tons of times lol and she was really cool. I wanted to see Gwanhan bridge and We all went there. Jesus!! at 3am, there were so many people, drinking. of course they were all foreigners and few Koreans. It was like beach party. I had really good time with them even though we didn't know where we were from and who was who's friend.

Few hours later, it was around 6 I think. I started waiting to see sun rise, holding a beer and freshing my brain. I could see some people, pooling around and some were sleeping at the beach. But it felt like I was at the beach myself to see sunrising which was super good.

me in new shirt and you can see that my arms, face got a tan a lot from army training!

May 15, 2008

What a small world!! no,, I should say what a small Korea is. To talk about this, it's kind of unvoidable that I should go back about 6months ago. I knew a girl through the web and she is from Toronto. I will call her "A" We got close so fast for about a month though she and I are living quite far. A came to Busan and I came to A's city. I still think having time with her was the best memory last year. But I don't think It will happen again :( One day, something came up which was small I still think but it got bigger, bigger and bigger. while it was getting bigger, I admit was really bad guy. I made so many mistake cause I was kidna of scared not to see her :) We eventually stop contacting. I don't even know what her cell phone number is. oh,, there was her blog but I haven't been there for past 5months.

What I'm saying here tonight, there was her friend, a korean guy. and A seemed like A didn't really like him but they were still friends. I will call him "Y" After few month later I knew another girl who lives in Seoul from facebook. We are still friends. But tonight I saw her saying in msn "where is Y?" and I messaged " Hey who are you looking for, Is Y your boy friend?? " Yes!!" She said. lol. his face that I saw my friend's facebook's profile picture has been familiar to me and I didn't know where I saw his picture. but Now I know where I saw his face. I saw his picture on A's blog lol What a small Korea is. I never imagin that kind of thing would happen. I don't know A and Y stiil friends. It's is surprising new!! Since A before mentioned about Y's name a lot I still remember his name and so I wondered he is Y. I asked her " is his name xxx? she said " yes do you know him?" of course I don't know him and I didn't wanted to bring the story I mentioned, above. I said " No I don't know him. It's really good new she found a guy and I'm really happy :)

My gym plan has been working out really well considering to muscles that has been getting bigger. But when I stepped Step on the scale after work out today, my weight was same as 1month ago. was feeling ok. my all troubles went for nothing!! nothing!! So I'm now thinking of what to chose among three work out plans. I don't know yet what would it work well. I will tell you next time :) since it's not easy to chose. It is really important!!!
It's around 12 now.. I should go to bed!! good night all!!

2008-05-14T05:41:00.000-07:00

I was one of them, yelling for Lotte giant!!

May 13, 2008

I went to see Iron man with Dwane past Sunday night. There was small argument before we chose movie to see. Dwane, he is going to see a movie with K-girl this Saturday and Iron man was what he planed to see with her :) Anyway I won!

The story was like for kids but it was quite good. After movie, he mentioned abut Rock&Roll bar that is in Seomyun and is famous to foreigners in Busan. I actually saw some broachers they posted in KS area when they just started doing business about 1year ago, but I haven't been there yet. So we checked that place for a light drink because it was Sunday night. Bar R was located right cross of the Lotte department store. It didn't seem like as good bar as others in KS and Pnu. When I was just in, lol I could see Mel whom I bumped into on Saturday night at club. Bumping into her for only 24 hours reminded me that Busan is quite small. I felt like I was tracking her lol Oh my god. there were some girls whom Dwane was trying to dance with and he approached them, saying " you talk to Mel!" He betrayed me lol. Girls always come first to him. well I didn't talk with her cause she was surrounded by her friends in a good mood, whom I don't know, didn't want to ruin their mood so instead I tried to enjoy drink with music for half hours and finally gave up doing that. Music wasn't good and drink was weird. When I was about to say " I go home now" he came and said "let's go home." I guess things didn't work between them. that happened a lot to him lol

Tuesday afternoon, I called my mother and our conversation was going to be in a bad mood. what she said without thinking made me feel pissed off and angry. Of course she is my mother and she wasn't serious, but at a moment, I thought there are something we have to keep in our mind for respect. a small thing could be significantly enough to change everything that follows. Seo has to grow up! Our talk ended up in a really bad mood. I feel bad for whole Tuesday, angry at myself. I should have been more patient!

My birthday is in 4weeks and it's doesn't really make me happy. I'm getting old :( Some of my friends already told me they would come to celebrate my birthday. But I don't plan it yet it's too far. don't want to plan it yet well,,don't want to think about it lol what I'm thinking about right now is that I need to gain more weigh before June comes. I'm desperate. It has been really tiring day for past few days and now I'm really tired. so I should get my work done and go to sleep. good night every one. sweet dream!!

May 11, 2008

I like Saturday more than Friday. Since I got a job to do on Saturday morning, I'm not really able to go out with my friends for a drink, movies.

But 11th of May was Seo's family's memorial day. I went straight to see Seo's family instead of going out for a drink. There was no spot to put my shoes front door. They all came earlier than I came. Dinner, a talk was good. I prayed to my ancestors for that Seo's family keep peace, happiness, healthy while we were having good conversation in a perfect mood.

After memorial thing, I called Dwane, one of my CDI friends. He told me that as he leaves Korea soon, he wants to have more fun with me. yeah we should because Dwane won't come to Korea again for any reason. I hope he settle down as fast as he can with job that he wants.

He was in Heaundae with his friends from Seoul. I told him to come Gwanhanli which is my favorite beach in Busan. Midnight was they and I was suppressed to meet. It was a little windy but it helped me smell strong sea which was great. I droped by GS store for a can of beer and sit at the beach. This is what I really love!!! 20 after midnight, he didn't show up yet, My good time changed to bad time because of cold weather and I was cranky lol I text him "Dwane you lost your credit 20 percent. he finally showed up with his friends and we went to Thursday party bar. you guys will be shocked when you come to this bar in the summer!! this bar is located where you can see middle part of Gwanhan bridge, showing an awesome lamps that keeps changing color!!

When we got closer together, I realized that I was the youngest guy among them :) felt great! One more K-buddy joined us and Taylor jointed with his girl friend from the state later. I knew I would go clubbing that night but I didn't expect I would go 2places and stayed so late. We first checked club Foxy. Wow!! It was my first time being there. Club is like many fabulous clus I saw in movies or music video. It was super big and has good interior stuffs. 2hours later, we hit the club vinal in KS area, it was 3am. it was vinal. Saturday night's vinal has always many people. I bumped into Mel whom I used to go out for coffee and dinner for weekend but I haven't contacted her for past 2months. People are all drunk and danced. me was sitting on the chair :) I just like watching people dancing or hitting on each other and being in the music. Some of my female friend's came to make me dance but I didn't :) smoking with drinking beer or Vodka and cider was what I love at club. I actually was pretty drunk. when I got out of the club, I could see sunshine God,, it was 6:30.

Yesterday, After I got back home and changed my clothe, this idea that taking picture of my body just popped up. So,, I did :) Sorry not to show my whole body since I thought that it's kinda weird for me to show me, wearing my underwear to you lol Anyway, let's annalize this picture for short time. My body got bigger, considering my weight which got gained more 2kg. For this reason, I could handle more heavy training stuff and so percentage of muscle is more than before which is good. But I've lost definition and this is bad thing. My plan is to be on diet from at the end of this month or middle of this June to loose about 5kg and this is for good shape. As I know, my body will get smaller while I'm on diet, I should gain weigh as much as I can before my diet plan gets started. 5kg would be possible to gain. This is good thing, checking my body regularly to motivate myself and reschedule my work out plan though some people think I'm crazy lol

Good news today, a friend of mine who has prepared for job interview with me got noticed that he is hired by S1 Korean security company as a plan organizer. Everyone said he is real lucky guy. He just applied for 4companies and he got chance to have interview of them. applying for only 4 companies. me and most people in my study group have been applied more than 100times so far lol. I believe his good smile, bright personality and positive mind brought good luck to him. I called him to say congratulation!!!! and he said "thanks you it's all my help, saying I put positive mind in his brain with good advice." I was thankful. Tomorrow, he will have small dinner party!! Young ha!! I'm proud of you, man!

It's good thing to see a number of people, enjoying summer activity at the beach and in Heaundae beach, there's going to be beach volleyball which is interesting to me. Mostly they are forefingers, playing and I don't know how to play it yet. So I think I should get there to see them, playing! hope there are some of my acquaintances whom I know. Then it's going to be easy to get along with them :)

Picture is kinda of magic and I strongly believe that. Why I'm suddenly saying this is because two my ID pictures. First one was taken a year ago and few weeks ago I got second one. As you guys can see two picture above, well I don‘t know what you think, they totally feel different to me. But I'm not saying which one is better. Anyway I will use new one for my new ID card and driver license

Last night, I was pretty wasted. My friend, Heavy Smoker phoned me around noon and said my close bro was going to come to my area. His name is Seong Hun. SH and I had many things in common when we both were in school. drinking a lot, working out crazily and sticking to a certain type of girls to hang out lol. it was joke. Though about 10 people met beef restaurant for dinner, we jumped on having dinner. We just cheered Soju instead. That's our way. He works for stock company now and he is the second person, having customers to manage money as fund manager. he was titled for only 2years after he started working which means he is expert and his ability to deal with customers is unbelievably good. He was like that while he was majoring in business with me. After soju rush, we went to SeoMyun, downtown Busan. Sorry this story can't be going forward since what we did was pretty stupid and wasted. We were trash :)

I went to the gym as usual after dinner today. A cute girl wasn't at information desk. she always says "Hi!" and asks "How are you?" She doesn't even know I think she is cute. well she is!!! she isn't hot. but she is cute and cute and cute. "why don't we have dinner sometimes?" always rolling in my mouth. I can't and I don't know I will ask her out because she seems like really young. Story sound's like pretty normal shy Korean guy, isn't it? lol Yes, I am. My gym trainer was changed and he seems like to want to make me huge guy, considering his first greeting that " have you ate a lot since last night?" lol Yes, I'm now eating more than before to gain more weigh. It's not easy for me though for some reasons. Anyway, He was assistant while I was working on chest for 1hour. My body got all attention from other gym buddies. well my new work out plan, set two months ago seems like working really well :) After I finished working out, my cloth was totally wet and I could feel my chest got pumped up! I love that feeling.

May 5th, 2008

It was children's day today and it's officially holiday in Korea. When I was a little, like 8years old boy, today was the second happy days after my birthday however my family wasn't rich that they could buy expensive gifts or bring me luxurious restaurant. But my father and mother always tried to make small event though they were struggling from making money to live. every single events are still in my head :)

Anyway, Today I went to Korean Chinese restaurant for lunch with my old school friends. I ordered 짜장면 that I used to eat in may 5th with my family because it was the cheapest food we could eat out of home plus it was my favorite food to eat. The food was really good before so I ordered it for two people for me :) After good lunch, I got a phone call from Pony boy. Oh,, he got a day off. He was really close to me so we met at Beans where we used to go for coffee.

We started doing brainstorming to come up with some ideas to do for only three and half hours. why should it be for that short hours? one of my crews had to work from 6pm. It wasn't easy but we finally took Pony boy's idea which is to attack one of the lighthouses in Busan and the route was his jogging course.

As soon as our plan was set, I ran to my home to bring my camera. you guys can see what happened after that with seeing video below

April 20, 2008

It's Tuesday night now. I should admit my blog hasn't been updated this month because of me, being lazy. Seo has to be more diligent for his bog. himsef and few readers of this blog :)

Something happened to me. My short memory has been getting worse recently so I vaguely remember yesterday. But don't want this happen and this is going to motivate me to work on my blog at least twice a week :)

Saturday night, few of my friends came over my place for beer which I don't like. but they are my friends. when they were drunk enough to be happy, they asked me to play some musics and I did. One of English music was playing. Oh,,, "it's pain to listen! this music sucks!" a friend of mine said and he came to my laptop to search some music. "Seo 's crazy!" he said again because of my laptop doesn't have Korean song. They started to make fun of me. yes I rarely listen to Korean music but that doesn't mean that I hate Korean music. there has not been TV in my room for past 7years and I don't watch Korean soap drama as well as music, comedy channel. It makes sense a lot that I don't know which singer. song are popular now. But QRFM from vancouver station always plays over my laptop. Since I used to listen to it while I was staying in Vancouver, that makes me feel good with no reason. From the radio, I have got many songs which are my type and that's how my laptop is filled with many English songs. Anyway, My friends didn't understand me though they know who I am. But I was fine since I gave fun and smile to them.

When they were about to take off from my place, one of my CDI friends, Taylor called me. He was on taxi, heading to Songjeong beach for another his and my firend's birthday party. I wanted to go but it's kinda far. I estimated taxi fee about 15,000 that I didn't want to spend. so I stayed my home. one hour later, he called me again and said he was on the way KyoungSeong, my area. it was time to drink more beer lol. I went out with him. He was with Randy, having crossed eyes lol

At Thursday's party, we drank a beer. and Randy kept saying to go clubbing. He was damn funny, he acted like 5years old kid. I don't really like going clubbing but it has been like ages to see them again. so I went to club, Vinal underground. It was super packed and girls were really hot lol I don't dance so I was looking for a spot to sit while my friend were into dancing with music. Damn! It was so hard to find just one sit. We stayed there till 4am.

April 17, 2008

Sorry, I've been so lazy that I haven't been care of my blog and this symptoms may be the thing I have to deal with in oder to be a real blogger man :) I seriously have been feeling something was missed in my life due to me, being lazy and so I skipped one dairy. So I can say this "Build Blog" is a part of my life :)

Okay, let's start today's stuff.

I've been really tired after my Goje trip. I think it was because of driving that I had not done for that long since I finished Army. but there sill are many good movie of hanging around with Andy in my brain.

This past Wednesday, I had language class with Anthony at Coffee Bean as usual. We sometimes went through heavy topic and I realized that somehow there are differences between me and him. Because Anthony is 4years younger than me, he has relatively more open mind than I have to see, otherwise, different background of him and me would make different eyes to see and think therefore, idea and the way to think is fresh and new to me. In conclusion, my view isn't as wide as he has? I don't know...

Mr. Arms who hasn't been around my gym recently finally showed up last night and he recommend me to buy some bodybuilder stuff saying that he bought some nutrition for this summer. Yes I want to buy them. but money is matter now :( I glanced at his super big and beautiful triceps while we were talking about work out plan for about 10minutes. Ah... I want them and I will get them soon. I maybe not get as same as the look this arms because of our body type and look are different. But I'm sure my arms and his arms look similar since I'm copying his work out way :) Though my gym buddies say that it's impossible, They will be impressed in three months, looking at my arms lol

In locker room, my phone beeped. I missed one call from Dwane, one of my CDI friends. He came to my town with his friends to indian food as dinner and "Great India" is 10seconds from my place therefore, I went joined dinner with them. new face was there so I said " Hi nice to meet you " and he said hi back to me. this is so embarrassing to say. "what's your name?" he asked. I answered "THIS IS SEO." Everyone's there laughed :( 'when is my language problem going to stop making me look stupid?' :( Anyway, I really enjoying eating dinner that I still don't know :) and went to KEYNOEYES bar. Dwane started being chatter box. good! Since he is so funny, I like listening to him. :) I will talk about him sometime later. after few hours, we went to Thursday Party to grab icebeer. It was 2am when I got back home.

April 12 and 13, 2008

Some bad thing with my family stuff came up on past Friday. So I came to Jin ju on saturday early in the morning to see my father's family and I spent few hours on helping them. anyway, what happened was so sad that I don't want to mention about it now.

At night, I drove my father's car, wishing that I drove my own car, heading downtown Jin Ju to pick up my friend, Andy who was supposed to go Goje trip of Goje island. I already made all itinerary for our this trip however I wasn't sure to make this mission complete because of 외도 island where more than 10,000people visit to see.

Though this trip has been planed ages ago, past Saturday we were with together in my father's car because of me, being really busy and Andy's schedule that didn't match my day off.

As soon as Andy hopped on my car, we headed off to Goje paradise. " Andy, you are in charge of Seo's photo for 36hours." I said :) But he was my navigator. lol since I got wrong highway a time. he didn't really trust me, having a good sence of direction lol. but at the end of our trip, he would noticed that I was expert of map of Goje :)

We went to 찜질방 for stay that night. it has quite good public bath with new and clean 찜질 facility. with great mood, we went to 4stairs for sleep. few couples were around us and they were really really annoying. they all looked like 20years old. they should have got a room in motel or hotel not in 찜찔방. I ended up going my car to sleep myself. It was good actually for me to stay in car with good musics over the radio. Around 3am, I opened my eyes, and couldn't feel anything on my legs and arms. shoot! they were freezed. I came in 찜질방 again but the couples were still cuddling and pooling around. I was in hell lol. don't stay 찜질방 (Jim Jil Bang) when you go travel .

At 7am I woke up and got Andy up. After taking a shower and having breakfast, we went straight to ferry station to catch ferry for 외도 that I really wanted to show to Andy. When we stepped on Oedo, I look at his face. Oh no... he didn't seem like excited. but he started liking this curious island :

After 3hours Odeo travel, I brought him at Mong dol beach which is not a sand beach. look at this picture :) (We had lunch there, and relaxed on the beach

Since I know Andy likes historical thing of Korea, I took him at We went back to Geoje city, and checked out the POW Camp/Museum for our last destination. It reminded me of my 2years army service and the train I'm going to get in 2weeks :(

Today, I just want to show all pictures, not writing this stuff :) because picture would be better way to let you guys know how great my travel was :)

Anyway, this is 36hours trip with my friend, Andy. I had really great time and hope he made good memory of Korea.

It was really heavy raining and so windy today and it could be part of reason that the rate of voting for 18th new congressmen was just 46% which was the lowest rate since it first started. It's shameful that people in Korea are getting lost the interest in politic stuff though we know congressmen are in charge of law which heavily are involved in our life. People say they've got a lot disappointed and so they don't want to take this issue seriously. I don't think like that. We first have to pay attention to know what and how they are doing, giving them a lot of good and bad comments and then congressmen will consider of us, they will work for us.

More than 90% people got a day off today because of this election stuff. Many of my friend, therefore, got together to drink tonight. me also met my interview study group members for a drink. You may think Seo is alcoholic :) No, I'm not. When I feel that I need to drink to be socialized, I drink. Does it make sense? lol

As all people in that study group are gathered for sharing job information, practicing interview that we are going to have, after our resume and coverlets are passed in first step, companies information were our issues to talk about. when we were drank about 4bottles of Soju(Korean drink), mood got changed from being happy, hopeful into being sad, exhausted. They were afraid of ending that they won't get jobs they want. Oh Come on!!!!!! We are still young! We don't have to think about unexpected, unnecessary gloomy future. well it may be needed to prepare the worst situation that we'd face such as live our life without any job. what we are supposed to be now, is filled with confidence, thinking of the way to achieve our short plan, looking at the only bright side. Am I wrong? I seriously hate being that sad, anxious mood and so I did change topic to talk about, making some stupid jokes. I can say I'm the most realistic person than any of my friends and this is why I have been putting a lot of efforts on what I'm doing now to make better life. How I am different is that I'm look at bright side more than dark side and it really helps me to cheer myself. This is what I sincerely want to tell all of my friends. Cheer up! all of my friends.

Damn stupid Seo!! there is a flower bed in my ex university, filled with Rape Flower which is super beautiful. It's like yellow bed that I wanna jump into. I FORGOT that is in my school. But I haven't been there yet this year and didn't make photos of them. I hope they still full bloom. I should go check it out tomorrow.

April 7, 2008

If I was given this question that which place is the best to take a rest, I would answer GwangAnli beach is one of the best place I've ever been and this place always gives me peace. Dwane and I went to GwanAnlr on past Sunday. He used to hang out with me on Friday or Saturday with CDI friends. For some reasons, involved in his short plan this year, He stoped going out and started studying business instead.

Around 4pm, I was standing at gate 3, awaiting Dwane and I saw him, walking upstairs, wearing sunglasses. It looked great on him he should wear it always lol He was holding a bag with his right hand. "what's in it?" I asked. " a kite that he bought from traveling China. He wanted to play it in the beach. Cool! It was really popular to play it when I was 9 years old and one day people stoped playing it with the reason that I never know. On the way to the beach, I could hear some weird sound from my stomach. I hadn't had lunch yet and so does he. we both went to GamJaTang place. which most foreigners don't like to eat however he eats everything. After good food, we grabbed a coffee at Coffee Bean where I can have the best coffee. As soon as the coffee came to our hands, we ran to the beach to play a kite. Wind was good enough and weather was good too. Dwane took it out of the bag and he started playing it. He sucks! He didn't know how to read the direction of wind, blowing and so his kite kept hitting on the sand lol "move backward!!!" I yelled. He didn't listen to me. It was fun to him, acting like 4years old kid who was playing a kite. My turn was given. He should be admired when he saw me, using a string perfectly with great sense of reading which way wind was blowing to lol and you guys can see me, playing it in today's picture here in my blog. 'Was I just exaggerated?' don't mind :)

We played it for about one hour and we saw a small kid, passing by us with his parents. While they were being away from us, I thought that kid would enjoy playing a kite more than we did. So I called a guy who seemed like kid's father and gave our kite to him. "thanks a lot" he said. Ah,, I still remember how happy a small boy was when his father put the kite in his small hands. The boy started running, holding the kite with his right hand and the direction he ran was not where he was supposed to run as Dwane did lol his family was trying to teach him but he didn't listen to him. why? he had to be away from his family to play the kite properly. like a small puppy, running around his owner. he was amazingly lovely, adorable boy. :)

My past Sunday was awesome.

April 5, 2008

This was my first ever that I hated club and wanted to kill people who invented club. It was Friday night. Being stuck around in my home for weekend was ok however my body wanted some bottles of beer :) Anyway, I came back home from dinner with some of my English study members. Few minutes later, a band started playing and their sound was actually good. I thought that's from live music club, Monk. Music was getting loud and loud and I could imagine what was going on with shouting and yelling people was making. I actually tied up and untied my shoes several times, sitting on the fence " should I go out or not? :) Some document on my desk had to be done so I didn't go out.

It took about 4hours to get it done and it was 2am. I took a shower and went to bed. when I turned off the light, I felt like music was more loud than before and that started bothering me to sleep. but first time ' too much coffee' I thought. it wasn't coffee. it was noise. I blocked my ears with rubber ears block and covered whole my face with blanket not to hear any sound. it didn't work. was pissed off. what I thought actually was I should go out for drink and stay up all night without sleep. Since it was Saturday, there might be some people whom I know in any bar. I put my jacket on and headed out for Thursday's Party bar. it was weird that no one's there and I saw few people were sitting around in some other bars. on saturday night? It turned out the band music was from club vinal and it was packed completely. all drunkers in KyungSeong town would be there lol but I didn't feel like being one of them so I came back home. Music still was going on. 4am music stopped and the number of sheep I'd been counting was uncountable. God damn Vinal!

I lost the point to sleep and it didn't seem like it's going back soon and so I stayed up whole night, watching movies.

Around 5pm, Saturday night, I went to chicken place with interview study buddies for dinner. but we ordered chicken and beer. we went to Norebang after that. if you ever want to see different view of Korean, get them drunk and brink them over Norebang. you will see how they can be changed lol. I didn't go to the gym that night which meant I didn't have to work out because of so much energy I spent to sing. After about 2hours screaming time, we headed out for beer place again. just drinking without speaking. I was like keeping my friend's life moto 'live to drink' lol when my body got beer enough. I needed something different. it was tequila!!! I brought all over one of my favorite bars. we drank it and I ended up drinking Jack&coke. I don't have any idea about how much I drank lastnight :) but I can say I won't need any alcohol for this weekdays lol

April 2, 2008

Language exchange with Anthony officially started today. well I was very tensed due to the fact that he was listening to me very carefully however today's class was actually about how we are going to do. We besides talked about car that I'm interested in and how the government of Korea is going to protect Korean domestic car market. Eventually, they are no longer able to put a lot of tax on imported cars such as Toyota, BMW and GM since Korea made a deal, FTA.

After dinner, I got noticed that my friend, Mr. Smoke got failed of applying for a company. It wasn't first time, happening. As I did get failed from more than eighty companies to apply for, the number that he got failed are almost same as mine. But this occasion wasn't somewhat different. HJ Metal was where he tried to work for and this company isn't really famous company since it's not middle big company but also it's located in undeveloped area to live in. I really thought he would make it this time and he had to make it this time as he was desperated to get a job and he has been suffering from money problem he used for school loan. But he didn't even have a chance for interview. When the company screened his resume, my friend, he wasn't out of their interest. Too much job seekers out there in Korea, studying a lot, eagering to get jobs and so many companies now are just happy to pick some pure intelligent, well educated and qualified people to hire? What's going on in Korea???? What's happening in Korea may help Korea developed in economic view later as it ends up all companies in Korea are packed by such a smarters. But in different point of view, we are wasting young's passion and desires which mean many people have unproductive life, just studying, not having a chance to put out what they study out their brain. This is really bad and sad to see. People say my ages are kind of victims since we were born in early 1980 when Korea promoted baby boom. It sounds reasonable. But we seriously need solution to sort out this huge national problem. Returning back, Mr. Smoke looked really depressed. I took him at the bench and gave him a piece of cigarets and a coffee. "There must be a company, aware of your vision, passion and they will hire you soon" I said. he said thanks.

It's Wednesday today, and I can see this weekend coming soon. yeah!! Well.. my schedule for this weekend almost set up and there's not going to have time for fun possibly. hope to have some hours for some cold beers :) If, not that would ok with me. Weekend is weekend. Weekend just makes me feel good.

my friends

March 31, 2008

It was nice weather this morning, I just wanted to go somewhere by myself with a pack of tobacco, camera and my mp3 player. Goje island would be great to see now. This island is famous with many beautiful beaches as Busan is. It sound's like a place to visit for summer but I'd rather say spring is also good to see ocean view :) My friend, Andy popped up and I guess it's because I have been thinking of going somewhere with him before he go back to his country. So I made April one day trip plan with Andy. I only have time on Sunday from now on so it has to be for oneday which is possible to make it. It takes for 2hours from my hometown, Jin Ju to GoJe and my father's car is normally available for Sunday. My idea is that Andy will come to my hometown by the time when I get to JinJu after my work in Busan and he can stay over my father's home that night. Next day early in the morning around 6am, we can head out for GoJe. 10 hour would be enough. Since I was a navigator when I was in army, I still remember map of GoJe. Oh,, I'm so excited now. I haven't been to this island since I finished army and it has been for more than 5years. Plus this trip will be with Andy. Tonight, I talked about this plan and he said it's possible which is great!

From this coming Wednesday, my language exchange will start with my friend. My original plan was to lean spanish because he can speak English and spanish without any problem. Because of my english which has be improved much more, he will correct my English. this class will be twice a week. Monday and Wednesday around 2 at my favorite coffee place, Coffee Bean. First one hour is for my English to be corrected and the rest of time is going to be used for his Korean. Perfect! This is what I really wanted it and I definitely will be a good student as well as a good teacher :)

I came to ex school to see my some of my friends. They still having a hard time with job stuff however they looked more confident. Yes people sometimes just want to sit down on the ground and want to blame present. but it doesn't take too much time to get ready, filled with confidence. They stand up and chase their dream soon. Because we all know life must go on. Anyway, we took some photos with my new phone and talked. after that we went to grab a beer with chicken with good conversation. while we were having talking, I realized that we believe all together. We strongly encourage and are encouraged. This is good that I have someone who believe me. No matter what others say about me, I have people, standing in my side and they believe I make my dream come true. they are always with me, saying "Seo , you can make it." Thanks you guys again. and I won't let you guys down.

This is 광안리

March 29, 2008

My life actually has been not as good as before for past few weeks for some reasons. It felt like I lost my brain and so the way I has been behaving was odd. I didn't like it though. But a big problem that has been around me just sorted out yesterday and so I am emotionally able to focus on my reality. I hope it returns me my usual life.

Saturday afternoon, I had been stuck in my home to work, making some piece of stupid documents since morning however it's my two of friends birthday. They started party at 2pm. I missed beer more than anything else lol

Around 9pm I was at store, looking for birthday gifts. In the middle of sitting on the fence to know which one would make them happy, I learned that people should thank a lot when they are given a birthday gift. shopping for shirts has been the hate part but it wasn't. birthday gift is the most tough thing to choose.
Anyway, when the gift was packed, I ran to the subway station because I was late. well I guess it's because I needed beer :)

While I was walking toward elevator and I was passing security box, I saw a guard, talking on the phone and he seemed like so angry but he just kept saying "sorry" he and I were in the elevator heading 6th floor. ' would he go to where I'm going to?' I thought. It turned out one of my friend's neighbors complained to security guard, saying my friend's party was too noisy lol so all people at the party tried to enjoy our party silently. was good I drank about bottle of beers with great music. some were pooling around behind me, some were dancing. About 2hours later, door bell rang, when I opened door, there was a guard with 4people, being super angry. we were kicked lol and went to a bar, Basement in PNU. They have a rock band at saturday night which I love. for 2hours I talked with a girl who's my friends, NiKo's coworker. she was cute :) she seemed like really a nice girl. I should have asked her cell damn it! we stayed at the Basement till a band finished their performance. it was around 3 I think. Thursday party in Kyong Seong was after it. We drank, drank and drank. 4am people never seemed like going home and the place was still packed. everyone's drunk.

I saw some of my friends going home. and some others were looking for something :) I just was good with beer and jack and coke. oh there was one more, tequila!!! this is only good thing to live my area. it took just 4minutes to get back my home from beer party :)

I took this shot while I was smoking after dinner.

March 27, 2008

"Welcome to visit JinJu" When I saw this through the window on the bus, I just felt everything is good. After that, beautiful river was saying "hi" to me. Super fresh made me clean my all concerns in my head. I definitely was in my hometown, JinJu!

I got good date to visit because it was date that one of the aunts from seoul came down for her business. So my father took her and me with my family to GaSan where our family used to go for raw fish. it's costal city as well but this city has different mood from Busan since it's really small and most people in this city are old. When we got close to our favorite fish restaurant, there were about five new restaurants. Father said "let's try new one" and my mom said "No" lol we had small argument in the car and do you think who won? My father did. it was actually cool place especially that we could see ocean view through the huge winder inside.

We ordered full course, type B. Oh my god. they had super ultra delicious side dishes and when I looked at my mother, she seemed really enjoying food :) and she said that was the first time that my father's adventure worked to find restaurant :) Since my aunt hasn't seen my family for a long, they started to catch up, but there wasn't much moment for me to speak. It was adult's stuff to deal with so I was nodding and eating. I just was happy, being with my family.

When I opened door, there was tiny cute my puppy, jumping to greet me. his name is HaKu my younger sister named from a Japanese comic book :) I missed him a lot and so did he. My father's apartment kept same look. Nothing was changed. "Knock Knock" My mother came to my room about one hour after I changed my cloth. She was holding tray with tomato juice. Oh sweet I missed that scene. We talked about everything well.. it was more like that she gave me tons of question and I just answered them. But I liked that.

I didn't come to my hometown to see my family this time but whatever another reasons I had, I spent good time with my family and I ended up cuddling with HaKu till I felt asleep. it was lovely night.

As soon as my reasonability was done which was why I came to JinJu, I took a bus, heading to Busan. Since My weekend coffee buddy was out of Busan for last weekend, we made a deal to see each other today after her work in SeoMyun. We went to Titanic again for a coffee and was trying to come up with good things to name her new camera. 11:30 we took off and went to subway station to go home. damn it. we missed it. Taxi was six dollar well I guess her taxi was more expensive than I paid to get back her home since she lives in an island, Young Do.

March 24, 2008

It may be time to have a break for me and I want to be in my hometown. Beautiful river, flowing in the middle of the city, fresh air and friendly people actually make my hometown, JinJu looks better. My hometown, Jin ju doesn't have any competition for jobs since there are not many people. More than half of population are running their own small business as my father is. No competition. peaceful and lovely my city always gives me a rest. it's because this city was where I was grown up. There are my friends who take care of me always and my family whom I love.

Few days ago, My younger sister wrote down something in my korean homepage and that made me think about my family again. 'How important are they in my life?" They mean so much to me. It's not because of financial stuff they would help me. The thing is we have same blood inside of our body. She is getting married soon and she now thinks that's kind of her responsibility. As a daughter of one of korean families, she thinks that her duty is to get married with a guy before she gets older and that makes my parents feel happy. I'm not saying she will get married to any random guy. she definitely have someone that she is in a love. It's like she is in a hurry for some reasons. Please don't blame Korean culture. It's actually good for her. In fact old women still don't rarely get popular. I'm not one of them who thinks the younger is the better however there are my guys in Korea who prefer to find younger woman to spend the rest of their life. To be honest, I don't want my younger sister to get married early. I hope she takes time to find real one who sincerely love her. Anyway, what she wrote down was that she wants to get married early for her and her parents and so now she feels upset and scared that she won't be able to stay with my parents. I couldn't come up with anything to say though I had to say something for her...

I ordered my summer shirts few days ago and some of them got arrived today. my heart pumped so fast when I was unpacking it. Two whites and one blue shirts. they are great, they are perfect!!! I'm wearing blue lol I can't wait summer.

My friend, Andy text me about his plan to go EVERLAND at the end of April which is amusement park in Yong In city where is about two hours from Seoul. Despite me, being crazy with riding a roller coaster, it took me for a long hours to text me back because I didn't plan anything for next month and I have no idea what's going to happen next month. April, May, June they are going to be unpredictable with my job stuff. When I was sitting on the fence, my mother called and said she got a notice that I should go get trained in camp for two nights three days. I will be remind the way to use a fire and everything about army. So EVERLAND is gone

March 22, 2008

난 가고 싶은 곳이 있고... 그곳에 가기 위해 달리고 있을 뿐이다. 주위에서 나를 보며 뭐라고 하던지 상관없다. 왜냐면 내 주변인들은 내 삶이라는 영화의 조연들에 불과하기 때문이다. 이 영화 속의 주인공은 분명 나이기 때문이다.

I know where I want to be. and now I'm walking toward it. No matter what other people say about me, they are not big deal. you know why? I'm the one who is hero in this movie which is called Seo's life. Others are just supporters.

오늘 내가 왜 이런 이야기를 하고 있을까? 오늘따라 기분이 별로 좋지 않다. 계획한 대로 모든 게 이루어질 수 없는 것이 삶인 것임을 알면서도, 기대하지 않는 불행과 행복이 나에게 달려드는 것이 삶이라는 것을 알면서도, 지금 이 순간, 난 내가 살고 있는 영화 속 세계의 시나리오에 화가 나 있다.

Why am I talking about this? Today I feel awkward. Life isn't supposed to happened as I planed and I know my life is filled with unexpected happy and disasters. In this moment, I'm angry at the scenario, the way my life goes.

문득, 내가 작게 보일 때, ‘병성이 넌 괜찮은 놈!’ 이란 생각을 스스로 백만 번도 넘게 해봤고, “나이 30이 되어 크게 한번 웃자!” 친구들과 10년 전에 한 약속도 떠올려 보았다. 머릿속이 너무 복잡하다. 지금 무엇을 생각하고 있는지도 모르겠다. 무엇을 해야 하는지도 모르겠고 왜 내가 이런 복잡함에 시달리고 있는지 알 수 없다. 시간은 빠르다. 고등학교시절, 친구들과 함께 우리는 미래에 멋진 사람이 되어 있을 거라며 말하곤 했다. 난 그 미래라는 시간 속에 살고 있다. 과연 난 멋진 사람인가? 양쪽 어깨가 무겁게 느껴지며, 굳게 닫힌 입이 열리지 않는다. 내 작은 눈은 초점을 잃어가고 있다. 10년 전 꿈꾸었던 미래 속에 내가 살고 있는 것이 있지 않나보다.

That 'Seo, you are cool!' was what I'm actually thinking about when I feel I'm useless and this idea that my life when I become thirty would be awesome which is I used to say with my highschool friends came up to me sometimes when I didn't know what I was going to do. Everything is screwed up in my brain now and so I don't know what to do however I don't know why I'm struggling from this terrible feeling. Time goes so fast. thirty years old isn't that far to be, I now live the time that I used to dream of and it's supposed to be beautiful and my ideal life. but I'm not happy at all. My both shoulder feel too heavy, my mouth doesn't seem like that it has something to say, life in my eyes is vague.

부끄럽지만 내가 숨을 곳이 없다. 잠시 동안 숨어 있어야 될까? 아니, 숨기 싫다. 내가 숨으면? 또 다른 조연이 내 삶에 주인공으로 등장하겠지? 그렇게 유쾌한 생각은 아니다. 그럼 어떻게 해야 할까? 어떻게 해야 할까?

It's shame. I want to hide myself however there's no place to hide. No! I won't be hided. if I do, one of the supports in my life step on my back to be hero in my life. It's not great to think. So what should I do? what should I do?

2008-03-20T09:04:00.001-07:00

got bored...

March 20, 2008

Yesterday, I felt my legs was shaking because of high fever and my nose was broken. Yes, I had a cold however it has been loverly weather past few days. As I have been living by myself I have my own treatment way to recover. It turned out that I had to see a doctor. "Oh. How did you come by yourself?" He said and that meant my body was terribly bad. He gave me an injection of Ringer´s solution. sleep went for about one hour while I was lying in the bad for 1hour. But when I woke up, it felt like I had sleep for more than ten hours which meant that I had really good sleep. Now how am I feeling? I'm great :)

Due to some facts that my phone didn't work properly three times and I got sick, I didn't attend my English study. My penalty was 20,000won($20). sucks.

One challenge stuff has come up to me which is the test for Chinese character certificate. It's on saturday in three weeks. There are about 2000 words and phrases. They all should be filled in my brain for three months. Some of my friends told me that would be impossible to memorize that much words for a short time well they will see what is going to happen :)

My plan is that I'm not thinking about anything except for Chinese stuff since my brain is too small to do many things like memorizing stuff. One thing which is really sad is that English isn't going to be most part of my life :( but I can stand. Three weeks isn't that long.

SamSung is actually one of the best brands all over the world, making mobile. In light of my experience as well, every single product I've bought and used never ever let me down before. This is a part in oder not to accept my friend, Andy's opinion. He is anti-SamSung :)

My cute and super DMB phone got screwed up from drinking party. while I was smoking with my friend, Taylor, something happened on my cell phone. it was completely wet and sticky when I was in the room. I think it was a cocktail. Though my cell phone was in a warranty, they said " Sorry our we don't cover this occasion, this is your fault." " To get it fixed, It costs 200,000won($200)" and so I'm going to buy new one. It's weird that there's someone I would want to see and talk with at this moment...

March 17, 2007

My this weekend was a bit busy. okay,, where would be good to start?

Friday day night, I went to Gurri bar in SeoMyun around 11pm to see my CDI buddies. I wasn't supposed to go out this weekend due to some stuffs. but this last week has been so busy and tiring with my Grand mother's thing, my friend's thing and another friend of mine's business stuff. So I took a subway. we just talked about random topics and we played card, called category something. it was so challenge game to me. I didn't play that card game and I think we in Korea don't have that kind of game. Plus there was my language problem lol

After 2hours drinking game, we grabbed taxi, heading to PNU where Basement is. God this was completely packed. Many people were dancing, grabbing beer. They all looked happy lol. 2hours later, I think it was around 2am. I text my friend who would be in PNU " I'm at the basement" and she text me back " At crossroad you should come over" The fact was I didn't know where it was and I just went to Mcdonald to get a ice coffee. when I closed door at Mcdonald. I got one more text "you suck" oh ' is she angry at me? so I went straight to crossroad without thinking. Yes she was with her friend actually her some friends who were supposed to go home with her already left her while she was awaiting me. I felt sorry. So we all back to the basement. the funny thing was that " you suck " wasn't the text she sent. my another friend who was at the basement got drunk and he text randomly lol I was the one who got random text.

Saturday afternoon, I went to Lotte department store to have lunch with her. we didn't actually decided what we were going to eat. we used to go for Chanchi soup but today we tried different one which was Tai food. pineapple fried rice was for me and she ate Ta,, don't remember what it's called. but it was good. after lunch we went to coffee place. Taylor called me and said " where are you?" Oh I was supposed to see him at the beach with his friends to enjoy beautiful weather. I totally forgot about that. and he said " he's going to cook and drink at his place where he just moved in. so she and I went to his apartment. We happened to change place, Chris place. He and Taylor live in same building. Chris made bugger for dinner. He should be called a chef. His bugger was amazing. when dinner was over, I had to face one more challenge card game. Melissa suggested that we play game, called "speed" it need us to be moving fast eyes and hands. she won five time in a row but guess what? I beat her finally yahoo!! we stoped play it and we move our game into category. most of people were drunk enough to be happy, we all went to KS where I live to go Thursday party and where we ended up our saturday night.

2008-03-13T06:22:00.000-07:00

This was about 3years ago. I wish my life was just like this moment.

March 13, 2008

This morning, my friend text me " Can we meet tonight again?" I'm now talking about the one who just got hurted from dating relationship. She was understandable but it didn't seem right to let her over my place for drink because she took a long time to take off from my place. she must have felt so lonely and get hurted. The fact that I would have no idea to say to make her feel better if we meet up was true. So I text her back " Sorry maybe someday later..."

After lunch, what my friend told me was too bothering me. She told me that she will revenge guys. She said that she get hurted a lot from a guy and it's her time to get guys hurted. I understand her still but well that's not nice to do. "whoever she pick up from night club, her gym and her school is going to be her prey. it's not girl's problem. this though would be in guys brain and also women's brain. Well is this life? The meaning of love or something similar to love is really positive or good in human's dictionary? They are positive and beautiful as far as I know. when more than half of people who want to jump in new relationship, think revenge, who the hell is going to be with me? Speechless...

It's still raining now in Busan. this weather has to be changed soon. it's not romantic to see rain with yellow dust :)

My grand mother got sick again. she actually was in her death bad. I really hope she alive till I get married. she was really rich when she got married. But after she had my father who's the youngest among 10 sons and daughters. My grand father business started getting bad and 2years later they got bankrupt. So I know how hard and horrible time she has had so far. when my mother had me in her room, my grand mother kept saying "Seo would be great and I could make family Seo happy with wealth, glory and health. I've been doing great so far, actually after high school. I want her dream come true. and I will make it.

Mr, Arms didn't show up at my gym today and my gym trainer told me he would come after 11pm sometimes due to the fact that too many people are at my gym while I'm working out and so he could have problem to keep his work out plan. I think it would be ok, working out with him twice a week. my plan was actually to lean his good thing for instance, he knows how to make nice arms :) I have to see him tomorrow.

March 12, 2008

The weather recently has been really good, not cold, windy. It has been sunshine which is my favorite weather. I went to school campus daily time today and there was another thing that let me know spring actually came already, according to male students, wearing spring shirt and female students, wearing skirts :)

I felt like shit for past 2 nights and there had to be someone to talk. So I mailed one of my friend first and she mailed me back and it was like that she wasn't even try to know why I was in a bad mood. she just mentioned about she had to be really busy to read book that was supposed to done someday this month. Yes right everyone has job to do in their life and they do not want to be bothered at all while their jobs are on going to be done. It does all make sense.

Around 7pm, I went to the gym. My gym is so small. I never understand how it has got 5 stars rate on newspaper and now I think they did bribe something to Ad company. When I was close to side mirror for stretching, a guy caught my both eyes for only two seconds. It was triceps on his arms. Other people didn't seem like they notice his great arms because of a big loosed shirt he was wearing but I felt my arms were crap. 15minutes later, I came to him and said "Hi" He was 32years old and he was actually body builder. He said "Seo, you have great shoulder and back, touching them." and he said "you would join body builder composition this summer if you set good work out plan to change my shape a little." It was a super compliment :)
His arms motivated me a lot which is so good since there has been many guys who work out really hard and I needed something to encourage myself. There are actually people who just watch TV, work out instead. I nominated him as Mr. arms.I will start work out with him from tomorrow and I am so excited now.

10years ago today, My father's brother passed away from car accident so his family will have memorial day tonight. I should join it.

Yesterday afternoon, my friend called and her sounded really sad. Her heart got hurted a lot. There was a guy she actually dated for past two months. This date meaning is not like just go grab a movie and have a coffee. I guess they needed something in common. The other day, she realized that she likes him more than just he likes her and also she didn't want to spend her passion and wast time on their relationship. It was last Friday she told a guy that she wanted to move their relationship a little forward and "No than, let's stop meeting" he said. This case doesn't happen often in Korea yet since we are used to prefer to be a couple or not. Okay this is the part I most hate. Dating would be good I think to get to know each other and being together without any restriction. But we should know there always be possibility one of them could get hurted. Anyway she came over my home with 2 bottle of sojus without asking me on the phone. well I couldn't say I didn't want to drink and go your home because she looked so poor. So we drank all, talking about some funny story which never was about her ex- relationship. I don't remember when she took off my place.

March 9, 2008

I woke up at 10 with hearing some's taking off from Chris's house Oh my god! I had meeting saturday afternoon. It was good that I made all power point stuff and organized documents earlier last week. anyway I was hurry not to be late. the meeting just started when I got there in coffee shop.

The meeting didn't go well due to the fact that there was controversial points between me and my friends. well my idea didn't work at all so I shut up.

After I got back home, I cleaned my home as usual with my cleaning music and I didn't think about meeting for a while.

Good! my friend unloaded picture we got when I don't remember. I think we got more picturers than one. She probably didn't upload some that she didn't like :)

It's Sunday night now...

I was supposed to see my friends in SeoMyun for dinner at 5. I really had to be on time since my phone broke and so there would be no way to contact her to let her know if I'm late. At 4:20 I left home, heading to Seomyun and at 4:30 I took a subway. Two station away from my stop, a women who looked like in her sixty hold my left hands and asked to glasses store where she was supposed to be at. I didn't know where it was but I could go and find where she wanted to go. So I got off subway with her and took over the store which was her destination. it was 5:05. I text her already that I was going to be late with the lady's cell phone but I didn't feel like being late much long and I didn't want her to wait me on the line at restaurant under the rain I ran till I got to my dinner place without break. when people on the line were in my eyes, I couldn't see her. 'Did she leave?' oh thanks god there was my friend, Megan.

We all had dinner and Megan gave 6 rates out of 10 to this place and my friend gave 9.5. me? as a person who like eating, I gave 10 :) After dinner we went to coffee place which is called Titanic and isn't not famous however they have good couches and mood. I really liked that place cause there were not crowed. We talked about random topics and Megan left earlier around 7pm. but I didn't want to go home that earlier so I told them I would stay longer then my friend, Melissa stayed with me. she is sweeite :)

We talked about everything. Time flies. when she checked time it was 10pm. I took her for a long so I couldn't stay longer with her. well I wanted to stay myself but tomorrow is Monday so I will go that place someday next week myself or don't know who's going to be with me. My weekend has been really peaceful and lovely and I hope this coming weekend is good too.

March 7, 2008

It's saturday morning and it is drizzling now. what a beautiful day! everything is quiet, fresh. this spring must be coming soon.

I don't drink much and often because of me, being so headache when I drink a lot and so I'm not really able to sleep. There's one more reason that it feels really hard to work out the day after drink. Past Friday was exceptional. 5am saturday morning I got back home from drinking.

Friday night, I went to PNU(Busan national university) around 11pm to see my CDI friends whom I haven't seen for a long. moi's was the first place I've been if my memory serves me right. It was packed. There's no seat, available even no space to stand. People were there to enjoy music that a band played but I wasn't into their music.

We went to basement after that. As soon as I closed door, someone pulled my arms and bought me the place for dance. my tiny Filipino friend was dancing with her friends. I'm terrible dancer so I just sit in front of her and sew her amazing dance. I knew that she is good at dancing and that hot. she caught many guys eyes and she seems like enjoying it. I can't remember how much I drank. When my brain didn't work well, Chris gave me a drink, it tastes like strong 바카스 with seven up. It was strong but it helped me awake.

Around 4, we took off and went to Kim Bab restaurant for 돈가스. it was 5am when we got back home.

My phone rang this morning and '051' was the number of starting which is from Busan area. "Hi" it was English with voice which wasn't familiar to me. His name is Tom and he got my number from Busan court where I'm doing volunteer to help non-Korean people who need Korean service. He now has some document stuff to translate English into Korean. It's always my pleasure to help people. Especially people who need Korean service because I know how big deal it is for foreigners to have conversation in Korean Plus it would help Busan to be good city somewhere in their memory as well as my country, Korea.

My new English speaking study group started few days ago in my school. Since high and middle school finished winter vacation, I don't have any work daily time and so seeking for a job is what mostly important thing is. Well.. it's not seeking for a job. I'm trying to make me more a competitive person till my dream company starts hiring new employee this year, studying English, improving Korean speech and so on.

Here is good news that my friend, Andy's work our plan seems like working. By the time that this summer is coming, we will see what we have been doing at the gym. I won't let him down and I do believe he won't let me down either.

My mon gets sick again It has happens twice a year. I think she was born as a weak person. but she has been doing excercise everyday for a long with jog, YoGa but as she is getting old, well.. I want to stop talking about this.

My area, Deyon Dong started being noisy as winter vacation was over a week ago. There are two universities and one high school in my area just 10 minutes away from my home. all students in school are going to have like open-drinking party to celebrate new students, first year of university and the party is hot issue for seniors because it's chance to meet new girls and guys lol well it doesn't happen to me at all. No,, If my memory serves me right, I never joined that kinds of party. Anyway, the party doesn't come to me though I ever want to try to join it :)

March 2, 2008

Bus station was quite crowed since it was saturday that many people came to somewhere for some rest. On the way back to Busan, I called a friend of mine who was supposed to meet earlier. She was at Minju park in Busan and she invited me to see play "peterpan" that her students was playing.

Oh they were so lovely and they reminded me my high school time when I put on an act as hero :) their play was great!!!! it's like middle school play and I could see how hard they prepared for it. their dance was way better than mine :)

The Play went for about 2hours and we went to Seomyun with her friend for Chamchi soup what her favorite is to eat in Korea. We saw people came out right after they came in and I asked them why? The restaurant didn't have food to sell lol. I was more eager to come that place again to see how good their food is.

My idea for alternative wasn't good I think. we all went to Japanese place and me was the only one, enjoying food. I felt terrible. our night was getting worse. In war bar they didn't have Cass beer. so we ordered Lime beer which I didn't drink all. it sucks!

FuzzyNable was where we ended up. her friend, Meghan seemed to be enjoying but my friend and I was a bit tired. so we both were sitting and talked slowly :) till 3:00am.

Next day, she and I met again for ChamChi soup restaurant. The owner of that place recognized us :) of course she recognized us because my friend is so cute. Food was good, waterless were friendly, the best thing was it's not expensive lol

we went to grab a movie. but we didn't see it so we sit on couch together instead , talking about some of Korean musician. We found it hard to know what would be good to do. we got out of movie place and took a walk for while and found a coffee place. Pink curtain, comfortable couch, good music. we had a good talk and good rest. It was peaceful weekend.

In Nam San Tower.

February 29, 2008

Seoul travel! well I wasn't supposed to go to Seoul that early but as long as I know my best friend, Min Young whom I've known for past 10years was going to have test to be an accountant and he has been studying for past 3years for the test, I bought bus ticket for Seoul.

In Korean culture, we give chocolate to someone who's going to have test in oder to cheer him or she up and that was my mission for Seoul travel.

Thanks for some movies that I downloaded the other night, five hours wasn't that longer.

Due to MinYoung had to study for daily time and so he didn't have any time to meet me, I made some plan to do till I met him. First , I went to GamNam as soon as I got to Seoul to find some information that I needed for my friend's business after that SeochoDong was where I had a coffee with Dohun who's in Seoul for school. It has been 3years that we didn't meet, but he was the same as before, looking, personality and behavior.
Around 6, I took a subway to meet another friend whom I know through facebook and we went LodeO Stress for dinner with her friend. God! she drank so fast and a lot. she definitely drinks more than I do. around 10 we got back home. it was good night.

Next morning, I knew that my hometown friend was in Seoul too. so we both agreed tiny Seoul travel by walk.
It was from SinChon to Nam Mountain where the cable car is. It took about 2hours to arrive, through small park that I don't know what name is, Sung Le Moon which was burned out few weeks ago. It was bad weather but it helped us keep walking that long distance without any pain :) Mountain was beautiful and view was awesome.
I called Min Young around 5pm and we met at Sam Gyub Sal place for dinner. He looked really nervous, he was pale and didn't talk much. I understand him. 3years isn't short time to study and he sacrificed everything to be an accountant. and he was going to have the test tomorrow. If he didn't make it. it's like his all efforts for past 3years would go for nothing. He and I just ate dinner and after dinner I Gave him my chocolate. “Thanks Seo, coming to Seoul to meet him" He said. 'It was really good decision to come to Seoul' I thought. Friends means a lot to me.

wow. I must be a good person as I have many friends :) after Min Young I met Jea Hyun whom I have known since high school and he works for LG now. I bet he is the most positive person I've ever met. We had a coffee in YongSan. He has been studying English last year again. However there's nothing, different between his and my English, He said He admired my passion and it motives him to study hard. Thanks, Hyun. That's what friends are for.

My family

February 26, 2008

I took a shower right after I got up at 6:30. still feeling some kind of hangover from too much Jack&coke last night. A friend of mine, Mr. An bought me drink as much as I could drink as graduation gift. :)

Yes it's my graduation day today and it's at 9am however my parents were scheduled to arrive at the main building at 11am because of my sister who had driving test at 9. I wished they could have come earlier. My friend Mr. Song came was with me to grab graduating cap and gown in my major building and when my hands were holding them, I felt it's real time to say "Good bye My school"

So many people were smiling and posing in their nice dress for picture with their family and friends. They looked so happy and I was happy that I was one of them.

This morning was ugly raining which was bad to make a good photo. So in side of the main building where I supposed to have a graduation ceremony at was packed.

Graduation started and finished for 30minutes. At the end of it, we had time that all graduates were shaking all professors's hands and had a small talk. While we were on that time, some of them had tears around their eyes, some of them just had good smile.

It was sad that I couldn't see some of my friends as I told you before they didn't come just because they didn't get a job. I called each of them sometimes yesterday and the day before yesterday to say "let's come and enjoy our graduation!" They haven't answered the phone.

Imagining my father and mother, posing for picture makes me have smile. they are not good at posing for picture :) My father doesn't really show up how he is feeling and what he is thinking about as typical old Korean guys and so It used to notice that how he felt before. He didn't speak today much as well but Today! I can see them, being so happy. I love you guys.

My friend, Andy mailed me. Mellisa text me. some of my friends who were not being at my graduation contacted me to congratulate me. thanks all!!!!!

I don't know how many picture I've got today but I hope that is many enough to keep this a precious memory.

February 24, 2008

Saturday night is most horrible time to stay at home because of music from two night clubs and each one is just 5minutes from my home. well hearing music is ok some people are trouble some :) Especially when I have some work Sunday morning and so I should sleep early, not going out for fun, it's too much pain. Past Sunday morning, someone screamed I woke up and opened window to see something happened. If so, I should call 112 or the problem could go away by me if the thing is small. Anyway it turned out some people were drunk. my cell phone was showing 4:00 am. Thanks for waking me up, drunk guy :) Thanks for her, I got my work done perfectly and it was around 7am.

My graduation is tomorrow. I feel weird. I think it may be because of some different responsibilities that is going to be given and they are stronger and they are not allow me to make any mistake. Anyway people say "Congratulations!" to me and I say thanks without thinking lol

I had drink with some of my school friends whose age is same as me. we started at Bool Go Gi buffet with Soju for dinner around 6pm and ended up playing Internet game. There was no a productive talk everything was just for fun. it was to cultivate or keep our good relationship before graduation. As it was mentioned before that most my friends have been sad since they turned 4th year just because of job stuff. Last night, I bet no one in our group was being aware of job stress because we were all retarded, talking stupidly it was all good.

On March 30th there's marathon and anybody can join it. This marathon event is sort of charity for environmental preservation and let people know how environmental preservation important is. I can picture how great weather it is around end of March and imagine me, running with my friends. I already told my friends in Busan and some will run with me. I did it before when I was first year and I did bicycle marathon when I was 17 years old. this event will be a little challenge due to me, not running for long not to lose weigh and being heavy smoke. So my marathon plan will get started from next week!!!

February 20 and 21, 2008

Kim is leaving soon or she left already? I don't know I can''t remember when it is for her to leave. "Thursday party" in Jang San which started to get famous as drinking place in Busan was where Kim's wanted to make her farewells. Everything was good but I was tired and felt annoyed a little.

My English test did go ok. they will give me a result in 2weeks.

My graduation is on next Tuesday. Welcome to step on real world and I will learn what the law of the jungle is lol I hope there's good thing I can get as much as I've got in my school life since middle school. I guess there are two people who feel super happy with me, graduating my university. They use to telling me that their hope and their dream was that my younger sister and I go and finish school since our family was really poor and hungry. But they will come and see my graduation and I'm sure They will proud of me and I'm proud of them too Thanks.

I actually got a job already but I didn't take it for some reasons as I mentioned before. but anyway I don't work now. A lot of people in my major who didn't get a job yet wouldn't attend it because they think it's shame not to get a job before school got done. They may be right in their point of view. But I would like to say "this happens only once in our whole life." "Although they are bad to remember, they are going to be a part of our life." just because that we don't get a job yet we have to feel guilty? or shame? no,, it's not. the thing we have to do is enjoy our life, doing what we plan to be get close to our goal and then we will make it! Congratulation all seniors in university!!! :)

I went OL55 again last night with my CDI friends who work for CDI school. As usual they had open mic on Wednesday night which I love to see. This bar seems like to attract Korean singers and last night they were a Korean Rock band and a Hip hop group. they were fresh by this reason that I used to see western guys, singing. and I smoke Camel which is hard to buy and I like.

2008-02-18T05:17:00.000-08:00

I found this in my laptop,,can't remember when it was

February 18, 2008

I went to coin Noraebang near my home after work.

Singing was used to my way to express my soul as same as dancing for people. Noraebang has been my secret place for a long. When something, good happened or sad thing happened, it was where I was in to express how I was feeling by myself. Some people have told me this my behavior is a little strange however my way has been adhered since my high school life.

Today? nothing happened. I took 300won into machine and found a song that was a first song I sang. It was about 10 years ago that this music was played sometimes over radio which meant it wasn't popular. As most of the songs in Korea sing about love, this is about love. I don't know yet what love is but when I was enjoying this song, I knew about love less than now I now know which was funny :)

Melody of this music is just good enough to have me help myself to think something about many things but not about love. It was hard to make good voice and follow rhythm of it. I guessed it was because this song hasn't been my favorite for more than 2years. It turned out I ruined this song when I was listening it again after I got back home. The song was recorded and it's my in laptop lol

I wanted to unload it in my blog before. however it took me 20minutes, I couldn't do it. something is wrong here I think. only video was available to be updated. may be some time next week I will try this again.

Oh. there was one thing happened to me this afternoon. don't want to mention what that was and how it happened. Because I'm now trying to forget about it and half of it wasn't in my head. they are gone they are far away to remember.

2008-02-17T02:56:00.000-08:00

"Cool guy, Mr. Jnag" His wedding picture

February 16, 2008

My phone rang around 5pm. It was my Korean buddy. I actually nominated him as Cool guy a long ago. His name is Jang, MinSu whom I've known about 7years since my university got started. he currently works in buying division for NOKIA in the city of Masan.

There was a club for the Science Council in my ex university and every single person I first met in that club told me I looked like Mr. Jang lol. well My face is common in Korea then. But when we met, we couldn't see anything, similar on his and my face. we got along really well. the good thing he has is always honest, considerate and faith and also I love the way he thinks positively. his homepage makes me feel great and it helps me know how people around me are important. he now has beautiful wife. That he always thinks his family is his one of the most important facts to consider in his life has to be admired. he is like my mentor.

He came to Busan straightly after work only to see me. some jobs I had to do was out of my head. we came to Jauntiness Bar first. some fields I was interested in was hot topic for while and he gave a lot advices as the one who stepped on real life earlier than I do.
At OL55 where I can enjoy good music was good my idea for second drinking place. the bartenders were cute :) one of them was my friend, pony boy's friends.
Considering to what the pony boys told me about her, her boy friend should know how lucky he is if she has a boy friend :)
We went to Club, Foxy after that. well I didn't want to go clubbing especially Foxy. But he hasn't been that kind of places since he got married and he made some white friends since he has great English at OL 55 while I was enjoying music. it was like I was dragged by him and his new buddies. it was around 4am. I got so tired and hammered out. and I saw him, getting drunk. so we both came back my home to sleep.

The amount of hours we spent together was only 5hours. but it was priceless.

Do all people in the world have to celebrate V-days? and who is this V-days for? I have no idea. It was yesterday, some of my female and male friends asked me to know what would be good as a suspiring gift for this event. They didn't even look ok though lol Having a small event monthly would be good way to make our life more exciting, I know in the mean while there are people, suffering from money problem due to monthly events. me? no pressure. it's good to be single today :) I got to love my gym girl, working at information desk. Thanks to her, two piece of homemade chocolate were in my right hand on the way back home from the gym. But I still don't know who does gives Chocolate to who? :P

Around midnight. "KS(Kyong Seong University which is my area) tomorrow?" a friend, Chris text me. we went to see basketball play and that's how we became friends through the my drunk buddy Taylor. He brought his friend, Yohan at OL55 where there is open-mic on Wednesday night and which is why I like being in that bar. I still don't know how many language Chris can speak and how much he could speak them perfectly. whenever I saw him speaking language that I don't know, that made me eager to learn Spanish. Ah Ah Ah.. most foreigners whom I've met so far relatively loved to eat Korean food except for Octopus which is good for them to survive in Korea :) There are few great singers and they are always there. their voice is deep and strong and I can see them, enjoyed music for a long.. not just few years.. with this clew that they looked in their thirty well.. they may be more than their look I guess. Anyway, with a cup of beer and their music, my stress, any concern are not in my head. There are three things that has to be in my life, The gym, Music and smoke :)

I should be a talkative guy again from now on! Since Speaking English Test is on this coming Sunday. Don't know how much I score this time. It's weird that some of my acquaintances who I think have better English score low marks however some who don't have not great English score almost perfect. I know where my English is and it's not that enough to measure who is good or bad. There should some skills to score high marks since any of test, which is able to test our english or anything of it's supposed to test isn't existed. Those skills has to be mastered to score better marks.

Talk, Talk, Talk~~~ Build Seo!

February 12, 2008

Job season in Korea is coming soon, well it actually got started already according to some major companies which ended to hire new employee for this year. It may sound wired that there are two season in a year for Korean major companies to get new employee for some reasons. The first chance normally begins around March and ends up on may and the rest is near the August and it's done around December. There are some companies, looking for new employee since people who are supposed to work for them changed their mind and want to work for another company. Anyway, As one of the bum :) in Korea, I should find a job to work and then my knowledge that I have studied for past 5years and talent will be used for to make big contribution for the company :) I believe I can make it before this June comes.

Chocolate are everywhere. They are displayed, wrapped in pink, red paper in convenient store. People are selling it on the street. Yes, Valentine's Day is right here. I have no idea right now who's supposed to give it to whom V Day, guy or girl? Chocolate has been away from me for a long however I used to love it. People may want to give impressing gift on this V day. But you know what is the most memorable thing to do? Do not give any and Do not mention any to her and then she will never forget you plus she will use this event whenever she and you argue lol. It really makes sense, doesn't it? Don't boo me guys. This is actually what I picked up on small talk section of today's newspaper.

Around 11am, I was on the subway, heading to SeoMyun, downtown Busan to see a girl. This was our first meeting officially. I was a little nervous however there's no reason I did. well I guess it's because the weather, cold and windy. we went in Lotte department store for lunch. oh dear. it's always tough to know what to eat. Sorento, spaghetti restaurant was finally chosen to start our conversation with yummy mood and food. any topic didn't hit my brain for good start. she has a good sense of making good talk and I just answered her. She examined me ;) Time did go so fast. We ended up talking at The Coffee Bean. Despite me being to have more talk, our time has to be done because of her, going to Suwan for her project. I should've taken a picture of us for today's blog :) well next time when she wants to meet me again though I don't know when it's going to be.

My mom and sister.

February 8, 2008

I'm still in Pharmacist Seo's house.

My abs looked like Rocky mountain. I should stop eating :)

The reason for some rest, I went to small room that seems like a warehouse. everything there got fade and so didn't have any own colour. A huge picture album caught my eyes and opened it. wow! My parents marriage picture was there. My mom, she is small but she was so beautiful well my father was actually really handsome. dark skin, an awesome nose and small attractive eyes good muscles, I got all from my father lol except for height. my father is 6feet but i'm not that tall should I blame my mother? lol no I love what I have.

I actually wanted to give some korean traditional food to my foreign friends in Busan city but some were out of city, enjoying snow boarding, travel which I love to do, some didn't answer the phone so I ate all. 2kg was gained for past two days.

My gym is small but they consider people who are crazily eager to work out So,,, they OPEN tomorrow!!!! unlikely other gyms don't open for four or five days. my body got relaxed pretty enough and will get intense soon Yahoo!

I've had really good time meanwhile some of my korean friends didn't come to their home town because of test they will have soon to be an accountant, a public servant and a lawyer. their voice was kinda down and exhausted. I know they have been studying really hard more than 2years or 3years some of them. Coming Korean thanks giving day or new years day, they will bring the great happiness to their family! I can see they will make it this year!

This is rice cake, called 떡국

February 7, 2008

It was 6am when I opened my eyes from sleeping and I heard a guy, talking so loudly over the radio about lunar's new year which was today. At 7:30, one of my relatives was supposed to pick me up and go to my father's biggest bro's home. his nick name Pharmacist Seo because that's what his job is.

Arirang Tv is always good to watch. It doesn't seem that they were born in Korea they English is good enough to inspire me. Oh I got to be in a hurry because of "Friends" sitcom I watched after Arirang News :) Wearing formal suit isn't still comfortable to me even though my friends told me tons of time that suit looks good on me as well as military code. Should I have stayed in the army? lol

So many people were at Pharmacist Seo's home and I couldn't recognized who was who due to the fact that kids were growing up so fast. when I got to living roon through the hell that kids were running, screaming, there was my grandfa's picture on the middle on the table with uncountable lunar's new year's food. oh,, he passed away many years ago but I still remember " be wise, be healthy, be good to all people" he said when I was 12years old. He was smiling to me and I said "Hi!" father Seo in my mind.

There were about 30people on the line to start our tradition ceremony for father Seo. They looked so happy and they looked like that they were really appreciate that father Seo made us and so we were here with people whom they love which was why we were doing this traditional stuff. Each person may pray for something that they want to make come true, such as wealth, health.. etc. We believe our ancestors take care of our life in Korean culture. We believe in them. I don't know if they help us I'm sure they help us feel peace and happy like part of the reason people believe in God.

one got married and had a baby, one just started running business, one didn't get a job who was me :) one just find good information about stock, I didn't speak a lot, just seeing them, talking was good and they looked so happy :)

2008-02-06T03:08:00.000-08:00

This is my father whom I most admire and he is way taller than I am :)

February 5, 2008

"설날” Korean lunar's new year finally has come. It was one of the my favorite festivals before my university got started owing to our custom that adults gives money to like their relatives. after I became a student university, they started treating me a grown-up which means there's no money for me. It's sad,,sad,, :)

My family came to Busan since my father's biggest bro lives in this city with my grandmother, Family Seo is supposed to have memorial stuff for Seo's ancestors. As soon as my father saw me and said "hi, junior Seo, let's go public bath" Oh God I hate to go there and get naked. But "yes let's go" I said. Because he loves to go there with me. ( he may need to someone to clean his back lol ) no just kidding. being in public bath means a lot to him and me. we used to talk a lot of things, like man's stuff and that was the way to be close each other. Anyway, we went to one of the biggest public bath, using seawater, just normal water instead. I swear that all my foreign friends would be shocked if they saw more 200 naked guys, walking around or being in huge tube lol however I was there with my father. we caught up all and talked about my and his plan. it was all good to talk with him in a perfect mood.

More than 50people will get gathered in one apartment and everything is going be messed up. but I miss them for a long. Happy lunar's new year all!!!

KTF magic wings is forever!

2008-02-04T05:52:00.000-08:00

Taylor and with his friends and they are now my friends as well :)

January 3, 2008

Busan KTF won the game 93 to 83 with Dong Bu PROMY last Sunday. This game was big match, played in Sa Jic stadium in Busan and guess what! I was one of them, shouting to root for KTF from Busan which my city is :)

It has been more than 2years not to see basketball play. I picked up from Taylor, saying he planed to go to see the play, holding in Busan city. Cool!! Busan is so cool that we can see basketball, baseball play and oh, soccer play is also easy to see because of Chang Won city, having soccer ground. Plus we have many beautiful beaches. I was so excited when Taylor told me "let's go with us!"

Around 1pm, I cleaned my camera's lens and charged it. It took me a lot of patience to come close to 2am when I was supposed to take off.

I went straight to the station for Saic and God... subway today was too slow. I could push it's back to get more fast. Blue sky with sunshine in the sky made me feel so great!!. Taylor was with his two friends, Chris and Niko near the a ticket office and I took a picture of them. I now wish I asked a random person around us to take a picture of us. Because that was the first and last picture today. Damn it. the battery I bought was 30minutes later more his friends came around and yes,, Let's get the show on the road.

People was crowded enough to make me excited and we got spot, special seat. It was awkward our seat was right in front of the Dong Bu cheering section. Build Seo doesn't care lol. The whistle was blew. we all were into seeing game. and we were on air so many time which means our cheering was crazily fun and wild :) The good thing is we got free pizza!!! lol Time flies. when I got out of the stadium, I lost my voice and others also lost it. KTF magic wings leaved Dong Bu high and dry!! Busan is the best and be forever.

We went to restaurant for dinner, “샤브샤브” in Busan University and went to few bars. I had really good time with them though I just remember 2 people's name Chris and Niko who are my new buddies. ' I've got to improve my memory ;) '

My new picture 2nd.

February 2, 2008

I got to love him, who just got a job in one of the big Korean a pharmaceutical company.

His name is Yong, he was in my major in my ex university year of 2001. he was the first one whom I met in school. When I wasn't ok because of a friend who got the problem, Yong's happy news made me feel better. I know exactly where I am now. Being in between job isn't good situation but I was really worry about if he could get a job. Actually there were few companies, willing to hire me but I didn't go due to the fact that they were located in few cities that I didn't wanted to stay however I wanted to go before. It's complicated to explain now. Anyway, his school isn't famous in Korea and he doesn't have any English, certificate. It's like people, looking for a job now would say he isn't qualified to get a job. He did! He did get a job. I yelled and screamed because I was so happy. wow!!!!!!!!!! It proved there's nothing impossible. Thanks Yong!!! Thanks Yong!!!

My friend, Andy has been texting me and mailed me to make sure I'm ok. I can't believe that he has been really care of me. Yes we are good friends. He is the best my white dude. I've known him more than 2years. he messeged me " Hi " first in skype. that's how we became friends. we sometimes argued a lot and we sometimes enjoyed talking about guy's stuff :) I don't know what to say about him. but well. he is my best friend and he will be my dude forever.

Life is up and down. I got bad news and now I learned how my firneds are important to me and it's time to be happy!! Build, Seo!

2008-02-02T07:44:00.000-08:00

New my picture 1st.

February 31, 2008

So many things's happened to me for past few days that I didn't have enough time to update my blog. One thing that changed my life more busy was to join two study groups.

One study group already got started last week and it's to practice interview which is one of the steps to pass in oder to get a job. You may think why practicing interview is necessary though Korean is going to be used when there is an interview. I would say interview is not that easy as you may think. More than 100people are planed to have interview and so interviewers are sick and tired of giving same question to us. In this case, It's really important for me to stress the way to make speech and then I will be noticeable. There are more things I prepare for with my study members. They are to improve my debating, negotiation skills. Getting a job, in my interesting field isn't easy.

The other study group which will get started from next week is about TOEIC which has been bothering me more than past 4years. It's English test, composed with four parts of listening and three parts of reading comprehension. The last part which is called part 7, that tests how fast and correct people can read English has to be improved to score higher than my current marks and so I study part 7 with my group members.

What I leaned from my friend's bad news was that life doesn't always go same way. Thing's changed no matter how we try to keep it. as my friend, Andy said, Sometimes, life gives us bad things, to remind us to enjoy the good things... because no matter how hard we try, things always change, and eventually the good things will stop.

2008-01-29T05:16:00.000-08:00

I should go to see the beach this weekend. but I can't wait it.

January 29, 2008

Thanks, "Sine" the girl who worked at my gym, she finally sent my picture to me. wow! My both arms were so pumped that they were bigger than their actual size. New schedule for work out has been working well and so I could see me, getting bigger and that means I'd rather carefully work out to get all balanced.

The road was wet this morning from the morning rain and sky, the grey colour sky made me feel irritating. Everything at that moment looked ugly and sad on my eyes. I just wanted to get out of my life with him who needs help that I couldn't give him. and bring smile to him.

As I mentioned few days ago, a friend of mine got a huge problem so his family has been struggling from many things, caused by that disaster. I met him 3days in a row however there was nothing changed. why I did meet him was to make sure he was ok and just wanted to be with him. When someone needs help and I'm not able to give him anything, I feel useless. I wish I had something to give him. He was strong guy physically and mentally. He loved his life and that lessened me to open my eyes and know how beautiful my life is. But it does seem like he is in the hell therefore he doesn't know what to do. What can I do for him? what should I do? just see how everything goes with him? If there's God please help him pleas care of him, please get him out of this hell.

Talking craft is good sometimes. I met some people and talk about random topic which made me not think of my friend for a while. some people didn't know what's manner is. I guess it's because Internet, letting people hide themselves regardless of how and what they are talking about meanwhile there are a lot of people who, well mannered. and I met a guy who current study to be a interpreter which I wanted to be and I may will try to become. It's so hard to pass the test in order to take the class to be interpreter as far as I know. Frankly, His speaking wasn't good as I expected though he knows a variety of terminology in politics, economics and history. our conversation went to job stuff. hot issue to me and ended up talking about English plan that new coming government may will take effect. I went straight to bed after the conversation was done, it was 3am.

2008-01-27T01:07:00.000-08:00

People say a four-leaved clover means good fortune. This picture is for my friends.

I don't believe luck, but for my friends I can pray for them

January 27, 2008

This is wired that a girl who worked for my gym didn't send me a picture of mine yet. It was the last day for her to work. when I was about to return my locker key, she said " I will take a picture of you." Yes, she sure can photo me. I liked it, since I haven't got any picture at the gym. It was 2 weeks since she told me to send pictures. I should phone her soon because of the fact that she may forget my mail and then deleted the picture of mine. I don't want to see that happens.

I hit to the gym after work on Friday as usual and then I phoned a friend who happened to become my buddy around midnight on the street.

There was a guy, asking me something when I was talking with a friend of mine.
This guy who was drunk spoke to me 담배 “Dambe" a smoke in Korean. and I took a piece of smoke from pack. "No, No, Where did I get smoke?" He said. Oh I knew what he meant. however I didn't think that he could go himself to buy it so I took him over Seven Eleven. we talked for about 30Min's with smoking and that's how we became friends it's funny. this would happen to happen to me because of the my place, surrounded two famous clubs and tons of bars.

It was T.G.I.F that I didn't feel staying at home myself and I went to Seomyon where downtown in Busan is. "WaBar" we met up in with his friend. after we started drinking some beers his friends came over and we went to a small bar on second floor that I never been. Though it's really small, they had good cocktails. we talked a lot that I rarely understand. too much idiom and phrasal in their talk :) I liked them. They are funny, bright and they seem to know how to make fun lol

A company, famous in car market has been looking for new people to give them work as an intern in Europe. There should be high competition, for Korea job market has been narrowed down plus the company is offering such a good pay, working environment and benefits. I swear more than 80% job seekers in Korea would like to work in the company. 4days left till the due date. 'Should I apply for it or focus on other jobs that I could get easy way?' some of acquaintances gave me suggestion to turn my eyes another side. but I won't stop doing it. don't call me I'm foolish. I'm not just seeing chances, passing by.

It's Sunday today. I was told really bad news after I had lunch and I seriously don't want to mention about it here. hope the thing goes well and my friend is OK soon.

January 24, 2008

Today! I'd like to tell you guys good news that the video I made recently was nominated as #27 - Most Discussed (This Week) - People & Blogs - South Korea which is cool. It has been viewed more than 300time for only 5days. Wow. Feel great! :) Thanks for you guys. It definitely motivates me to make better video for my friends, my life.

It was good, listening to morning music over the mp3 player. I set my small cute yellow mp3 player at 5:30 to get me alarmed to wake up because there has been mornings when bell on my cell phone doesn't sound nimbly.

As soon as I woke up, I watched Arirang Korean news, organized in English, following my morning schedule. This is to pick English words when it comes to science, politics and economic, in addition it's easier way to learn how to explain things about Korea as they don't use difficult words as well as complicated sentence. Frankly speaking, It's not that easy for me to understand exactly what they are talking about though I do enjoy spending time on being into seeing impressing good English announcers who are beautiful lol

It was so sunny today that I text some of my friends, saying "Enjoy beautiful sunshine" yes, Sunny day always is good, happy, beautiful, awesome, cool, as I'm summer boy and so I hope it's sunny tomorrow.

I text a friend of mine, A-Ra whom I mentioned the other day in my blog for lunch today but she didn't have time and so we had dinner at oyster restaurant, 10minutes from my school. She and I both like that place, they have awesome oyster soup. Waitress are kind and sweet. plus They have good deal. I really enjoyed to eat and I actually needed oyster for the reason of oyster is whole protein bunches as well as chicken that I love :) Because of me, being a chatterbox, she was just listener. what we were talking about was all about stuffs that we need to completed before starting to jump into job market such as scoring high marks in TOEIC English test, having some certificate of qualifications and so on. she looked a little exhausted and I tried to cheer her. she just nodded. poor baby. I feel so sorry to say this she was so CUTE today Ah..

Why do I like her? you guys would understand me with what I'm telling now. A is an enrolled student in my current university as I am and I could see her passion, confidence. the way she plans and she has been doing to achieve things that she needs should be admired in my eyes plus she is doing everything that she needs to do ambitiously more than any other guys whom I've known moreover she has beauty inside of her. having beautiful smile and eyes that I like are bonus.

Well why am I not seeing her? I was late :) she has a boy friend but it's ok I do like her as a friend and I'm happy to know her, A-Ra

2008-01-22T04:46:00.000-08:00

There's my name on the list,showing English volunteer members

I highlight my name "서병성" Seo byong seong

January 21, 2008

It's slightly raining again here in Busan, yet it's freaking cold. I hope it's sunny soon!
As of today, checking my short plan, designed the first of this year was needed to see how productive I've been since 1st of this year otherwise there should be something to stimulate myself and then I can make my mission completed :)

I'm not a organized person with this evidence that I put more time and efforts than anyone else. It my not true but the thing to achieve one thing takes longer than my friends and that's how I became strongly adhesive and I never threw in the towel no matter how hard, difficult they were to get done.

Anyway, it took about 1hour to do a careful analysis and then some alternatives, that should be started from tomorrow were created.

Ah, small palm diary for 2008 was on the second bookshelf which I rarely check because of books were used many years ago and it's from BBB which is for Before Babel Bridge and this nonprofit organization that offers oral translation service for people from abroad who can't speak in Korea and Korean who needs minor English translation service abroad. Yes, I've been doing this volunteer job as one of the members for people who needs business English. We are divided into three groups depends on the level of English we speak in. I'm the second from the top :) I was really happy and proud of my level since the test to be a member wasn't easy to me. The number of all members who currently doing this volunteer job is 2778 in Korea providing, people with and 17 kinds of languages. We all gathered for non profit. We all here to help people voluntary. This organization sound's like from a church, considering the meaning of Before Babel Bridge however I don't know much about the Bible. The important thing is we are devoting ourselves to people as a representative of Korea :) and I'm fully satisfied with my job and I won't stop this job. Oh, Call 1588-5644 when you guys need English or Korean service, you may hear my voice lol

Hoddeok!!

January 19, 20 , 2008

Everything is clean! Even air is fresh in my room. I cleaned my room from the entrance to the every nook since it's Saturday today. My housecleaning music was played loudly and Yes, I was being into music :) It is scheduled to clean on Saturday or Friday once a week. Do you know that vacuuming or wiping on the floor would help you feel better as travel, work out does make you have relax. It sound's weird? It's just exciting to get rid of all dust and dirty stuff and I think that definitely help people, who are in a bad mood feel good. I hope my English is better then this and then I can make this more detail to make you guys understand.

I'm now awaiting a friend, YunSeon on the way to Busan from Masn city. She is one of my ex university friends and I haven't met her for past few years since I came to Busan. She loves sea as I do and so we made plan to walk around beach which is cool. Oh,, "Coffee bean" is located in the middle of Gwang an li beach and I'm not going to miss a coffee.

The station of SeoMyun, downtown in Busan always is crowded with people, shopping. Because One of the entrances of Lotte department store is in basement where gate of subway is and there are tons of stores in an underground shopping center. It's good that I'm man not girl. It would be stress for me to shop if I was woman and that is what I thought, while seeing many women, shopping. Too much kind of cloths and cosmetics and they are so expensive. It doesn't take much time to shop with the reason that I don't like checking every single store, making a list and comparing prices. oh,, One more thing is that I don't have any sense to follow the fashion :)

After I picked her, we went chicken place for dinner and we went to department store. There was price tag and it was saying a pair of slippers costs $180. That's crazy. I wouldn't buy it if I was a millionaire. An anti conspicuous consumption campaign is need in our society :)
Do you know what Hoddeok is? It's kind of snack Korean people like and we can buy on the street as we buy a hot dog to eat. It's A fried pancake with honey and other sweet things inside. you know you can only buy it for winter. It's so yummy. How much do you think it is? it cost only 50cents.

We went to Se Myun back after we went to beautiful with a good coffee to meet one more friend, In Gu who just got a job in Busan. it was around 11pm and I was tired. Though I have a meeting with a friend of mine tomorrow for his business, I didn't wanted to finish our meeting because we didn''t know when we all get gathered. We have a good chat and they seems like they have been working to make this current their life that they like. And they still are working hard to make better life. They don't do that to be rich as many people want to be. They are working to get real happy which is in their dictionary as I'm doing.

Thank to Leah

2008-01-18T04:04:00.000-08:00

I made this video to say thanks, Leah.

2008-01-17T23:47:00.000-08:00

Look at gifts from my friend, Leah

January 18, 2008

Sorry again. I was super busy though I wanted to update 17's diary, My job didn't let me do that.

So I'm now telling you what happened to me yesterday. It was freezing and too much windy which made me feel now ok. But When I check my post box there was something in it. 'What's this?' There was my friend's name, Leah on it who is in England. She sent a parcel to me and it's seems like new year's gift. Sweet!

I didn't uncut that parcel for some reasons. And today I check what's it in in the mean time my camera was making video of me :) You guys will see what she sent in the video that I will upload today. Frankly speaking it wasn't easy to make that video and I don't think I can go to the gym today. I did cardio a lot to make it. lol

In the middle of making a video for her as new year's gift, my speaking wasn't as good as before. and that's true. Study group for speaking in English, gathering Korean friends or making High attendance rate in TALKING CRAFT is necessary to me. what should I do? It has been damn hard to make this my current English however it's getting worse so fast. Got to make many English friends. It doesn't mean that I just want to take advantage their English.

When I speak in English, I feel like I'm not Seo, Byong Seong which is my Korean name. It's like I'm Build Seo. you guys may have the same thing when you guys speak in another language which is not your mother tongue. what I mean is that the way to think, the feeling I have, speaking in English are totally different from speaking in Korean. It doesn't mean that I act like a person, having two faces in addition meeting new people is what I love and it's more makes me happy to meet people who came from out of Korea. That helps me know and learn what they have, what they think in their kind of view which is great!!!!!! I'm not going to stop this since my motto is to experience as much as possible.

2008-01-17T05:16:00.000-08:00

January 17, 2008

Many people has been here in my blog as counter's showing the number.

Sorry guys, I've been so busy today that I didn't make any time to upload today's stuff however I DO have something, to say which is really happy news.

Please visit here tomorrow again and you guys will see what's it about. :)

Price revolution! Tata NANO costs just $2500

2008-01-16T06:38:00.000-08:00

This is Tata NANO

January 16, 2008

Tata Motors, the Republic of India's company finally launched a small car that costs $2500 as People's car. This car calls Tata NANO.

It has been a matter of primary concern for past 4years since this company reported the plan to sell this car at unbelievable price. Their homepage was jammed when they announced it. As one of the people who's crazy with car, I went there and I wasn't able to join at that moment.

The President of Ratan Tata mentioned it has been big challenge to make an offer $2500 that they estimated since expense for steel manufactures and a tire was increasing however they carried out the promise to People, in India as well as People all over the world.

Wow. That’s incredible, let's see what it's like.

The maximum speed IS 130km/h and fuel efficiency is quite good, more than 20km/l. Displacement 624CC and it has two engine cylinders, having long:3.1m, width:1.5m, height:1.6m. It looks like typical small car. But standard model doesn't have air conductional, power handle and radio.

A big difference is that this car didn't use as many as a bolt another small car has, bonding automobile accessories that raises a issue when it comes to safety which is the first fact to consider. this was made that way to reduce weight and it is how this car has that high fuel efficiency.
The president announced why they started to making this car was that he saw a family, 4people riding on a motorcycle. A boy was on the fore seat, next farther, mother was behind father, holding her baby. After that, He thought they should have People's car that help people have family car with a reasonable price.

This is what I got to keep in my mind and that is what all enterprisers have to required. Many companies are out there, shouting that they are contributing a lot of social benefits for People, spending tons of money even sacrificing their safety. Sorry I don't think so. There may some but not all companies are doing like that.

I will see how fast Tata will be growing. It's now small company and is not famous. I bet my boots! Once this small company has such a good business philosophy, they will a lot of thing and will have a rapid growth.

What does the money mean?

2008-01-15T05:35:00.000-08:00

Let's think of time today...

January 15, 2008

I read an article in today's newspaper and there's a small talk at the bottom that caught my eyes. I'm now going to tell you what it was talking about.

There's a bank which send people $86,400 into their account everyday however when you dont' spend all money, the balance will be disappeared daily.

Have you ever heard or seen the bank? Do you think there shouldn't be like that bank in any country? just because there isn't free lunch?

We all have the bank, called "Time". Every morning, it gives us $86,400 and the thing is that the balance, we didn't make use of today isn't going be tomorrow. we can't save the rest of time we have today. So it's like that we will loose free money when we don't make a consumption of them.

Remember Time never stop and we are not able to save them.

1. To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who has failed his exam.
2. To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
3. To realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer who has ten kids to feed.
4. To realize the value of ONE HOUR ask a person who has missed the train or bus.
5. To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND, ask the person who has won a silver medal in Olympics.

This small talk lessened me one thing which is forgetful to me and I know people may be oblivious of this. So I got this topic today to let you guys give a chance once again to think about how we think of time which is limited. Do you just waste your priceless time due to any concerns which are unproductive? Are you not satisfied with what you doing now? Don't forget! Time goes on and Time flies.

A Brief family-memorial service

2008-01-14T21:57:00.000-08:00

This is shot of that we were bowing for them

January 14, 2008

It is a memorial day for my family's ancestors. What I mean is that three times a year, our family has brief family-memorial services, not including Lunar's new year and thanks giving. And it made my family and all my father's relatives gathered in house where a first brother of my farther live.

Meeting all them at a time was the first time since Korean thanks's giving day last year. Prior to starting the ceremony, we catched up what and how we have been doing in a perfect harmony, expect for a story. A brother just started to run his own japanese restaurant 3months ago and it hasn't been as good as his prospect. I felt sorry to hear while we talked about short plan for business, and his expect to succeed however he now expects that his business will go positively. I hope it goes really well.

A ceremony started. This time, About 20people were standing and making a low bow, preying for forefathers peace. It took patience (I felt backache from bowing a lot lol)and went for two hours to get it done. People around me looked peace and beautiful. When it was about to finish. I preyed for my family such as health, financial stuff though I don't believe they will make my hopes or dreams come true. As my father and mother, who are the most admire sincerely put belief in them. I'm following them, without saying anything.

No matter how it works, thanks to this korean beautiful traditional event, our all family had a good time and it reminded us how family import is.

which is at the botton right side.

13th January, 2008

Many people say fast food sucks by reason of low quality it has, it was nevertheless truth that Bacon & Egg McMuffin was the best breakfast to me while I was staying in van city. And it has been my favorite meal especially for breakfast on Sunday. That I go to McDonald's is always happy time. 'Good morning!' that cute young girls say is like music :) and they know I order Bacon & Egg McMuffin combo which is the best in McDonald's. It's of course damn tasty. Finger licking good!!

Those kind of foodstuffs, called junk food rarely have vitamin, minerals and another nutritions that body needs to maintain and moreover they have too much chemical seasoning as you guys know. I eat them when my body wants because it deserves to have what it wants :) It doesn't happen quite often, Twice a week doesn't really cause side affections and I hope so lol

It started raining again since this evening and it's Sunday. lol.. My guess was right that less then 10people were at the gym around 5pm today. I guess the thing was that raining weather and Sunday made people not feel going to the gym. So I love Sunday's gym. I can strengthen any part of my body freely. Most machines and stuffs that I need are available.

The schedule for this month to work on every single part of my body already has set up but I rather break the rule on Saturday or Sunday to make my muscles more tension. A coach at the gym, he always try to train me, saying 'Let's make a work of art since I have good gene to build up big muscles. I have no idea if that's true or not but Oh,, feel great to hear that :). I didn't say Yes to him yet due to the fact that I'm not ready physically and mentally to start doing hard training.

No matter what people say about me, I love myself and I know where to work on my body to get it balanced with my experience more than 3years. Before I started working out, I learned martial art for few years Hapgido which is an art of self-defense for 3years and Judo for 2years that made me exactly know how big or small each part of body's supposed to be which means I do not only work eagerly to make them huge. that's why I don't care what opinions they gave. I will be the one who distinguish your opinions and then sort out to take what I need.

This lovely couple will get married to end up their long term relationship over 4years.

12th January, 2008

Here is today’s good news! A friend of mine, who was actually one of the seniorities in a regiment of military policeman in 39th division where I was in for doing military service, gave me a call and said something that made me being stunning. what he told me was that he has set date to get married to his girl friend in 3months, whom he has met more than 4years. My head was completely empty for few minutes and it was hard to continue having conversation smoothly though I was trying to come up with something to say.
Yes, It's really cool and I was supposed to congratulate him in a super happy mood. Contrary to my expectation, there was something around me which was bothering. I definitely was happy and I wanted to say that when I was on the phone. But after saying I will be present at his wedding, we finished talking. 'Why shouldn't he get married to? He has a girl friend whom he sincerely love and who crazily would like to be with him for the rest of her life'.
Frankly speaking, there hasn't been serious relationship to me for ages, therefor the difference of meaning between LOVE and LIKE is still a big question to work on. It might be the reason that I didn't experience real or deep relationship and it caused me, being stupid to him. Marriage isn't big issue to me yet anyway. But I now think that I was feeling envy him. It doesn't mean that I want to be in a hurry to find someone to be with or to spend the rest of my whole life. It takes time to find the one :) The thing I can only do is to focus on what I'm currently doing and appreciate what I have, awaiting the one, which is so exciting :)

This song is a Cricket

13th January, 2008

Name of this song may sound fun however this is singing about a part of histories of Korea. This song was popular and all university students were singing this song while they were doing a bloody armed struggle to build dmocratic society.

This is SeoMyon, dowtown of Busan

12th January, 2008

It has been raining since this afternoon in Busan. I got back home from my part time job and I’m now writing today’s diary a bit earlier than another day Because it’s Friday!!! TGIF!! People on the street did look really excited or happy with today’s ugly weather however my feeling was good. Well it wasn’t exciting, it’s more like peaceful, listening to lovely rain music, I’d love you to want me’ which my Mp3player was playing. Now I’m so excited that I’m going to be at the gym in few hours. Oh,,,I can smell and feel my gym which is 10minutes away from my home. :)

I have no idea how they came or what made they come to my blog, likewise I don’t even know who they were. The number of people who has come, since this blog was made has not been many, yet I’m pleased with seeing Counter, rising.

It is amazing that people from all over the world come and read my dairy (I hope they understand My English.) Owing to my responsibility that help them understand my blog easily, I should improve my writing skills as well as my speaking English. Aside from developing my second language, I’d rather find something interesting, useful and impressing stuff for readers, such video, pictures and so on. Letting readers know about Busan city or Korea also would be good idea in case that many of them are from abroad. In line with this, I will do my best to make it look nice with good stuffs to read. It’s not only to make it popular. The thing is I want to keep the plan, my promise that I made and I believe this blog is changing my life good way. Keep it up, Build Seo!

2008-01-10T06:57:00.000-08:00

This is Water Street where I always passed on my way back home in Van city.

10th January, 2008

Do you guys like New main picture on my blog which my good frined, Andy made, Thanks dude, I will prey for you,having good muscles!!!! :)

Let's start today's talk!

'You look like 30years old.' was what I heard from a stranger at the gym. Ah,, what? I put up with an insult however 'where the heck is your glasses? Wear them on!!' was what I wanted to spit out. No, It was just kidding. It wasn't that strong to make me angry or upset. but that was today's bad news. Please look at my face and body!! and hear the way I speak.

A couple always work out when I do cardio around 8pm. They look adorable and seeing them just makes me happy in the mean while I'm kinda sad. where's my girl? what is she doing now? She may be sleeping. I don't even know yet her looking, taste of food and her favorite place. my friend told me before, she will come to me all of sudden when I don't expect, when I don't await. There are actually many girls at my gym. all are looking great and they seem like having good regular living style with a clue that they never skip being at the gym. I like girls, working out. I don't know what makes me think like that but they absolutely look cool!!! It would be more hard for them to be at the gym everyday than guys would be. Yes I really think so. Plus they motivate me sometimes when I don't feeling working out. They should be admired, showing up at the gym regularly no matter what reason they have. But here's a question! Do they ever know who I am?

2008-01-09T06:20:00.000-08:00

I got this picture yesterday as soon as I got back home from the gym.

9th January, 2008

The alarm sound wasn't as noisy as usual this morning. After taking a shower I hit to the library. Good music was playing on my Mp3 player and that made me feel not cold. Addict myself to being at the library. It has been for me to being at the library for more than past 5years and I got weird symptoms when I'm not at it. is it good thing or bad thing. library comes to make me feel safe after Gym lol. As a matter of fact that the test to be public servant is coming soon, it won't be easy for me to get favorite seat however I think that absolutely will make me wake up early.

People may don't like fast music, people smell sweaty and a yell at small space in a crowd. But I love my gym. It's so small so that there's sometimes no machines and dumbbells, available and I could see some people, blaming. sorry guys. You guys just don't know how to take advantage of that awful circumstances. when it like that, I rather happy on account of good chance to get to know many gym dudes and then we can be friends which are cool. It doesn't big deal that some are sociable, some are not like that. Thanks to talent that I can be absorbed in any kind of people in any type of conditions, seeking for the way to enjoy at a moment isn't that hard to me and then I have some new friends when talking off the gym and I'm happy with that.

2008-01-08T03:24:00.000-08:00

Enjoy to see these pictures but remember some pictures are NOT real , did photoshop on them.

8th January, 2008

Due to the fact that I'm now completely busy, I 'd rather skip today's dairy as well as tomorrow however I will update something for TODAY in oder to stick to my new year's plan.

2008-01-07T02:51:00.000-08:00

My major building.

7th January, 2008

I opened door at library early this morning to find spot that which makes me feel comfortable and help me focus on studying. 'What's going on here?' Many students were studying though it was still dark outside and few minutes later I saw some of them, whispering to ask something about test stuff. They were taking summer semester and today is their test. Sigh,,, there's not going be any summer test in my life. student is not my job at all.

It was good chatting time with my some of dudes, talking about political, economic stuffs in Korea which we always need to consider. It was a long talk more then 3 hours.Why do we have to do that? Sorry, I have no answer. It has been interesting more and more then before since I was first year and It seems like that stuff has to be considered to enlighten my ignorance of knowing how everything in the world is originated or ended. it may mean to become a real man. they are interesting to me as well as the way how to be happy.
It's time to off to the gym now. I will save some by the reason of being busy on this week. Good night Build and all here!

2008-01-06T05:50:00.001-08:00

This is Kim! My cellphone has good camara!!

6th January, 2008

Checking my phone was what I did first to see what time it was as soon as I woke up, Damn it I woke up later then I'm supposed to get up. I had plan to upload my blog which has been the most exciting stuff to me recently. Due to the fact that there's going to be really important thing to me on this coming Sunday, I won't be able to do it after it gets done.

My cell belled around 2:30 My friend, 'I have ? is there a MegaMart in Gwanhan?' My friend Kim text me. It has been more than three months that we haven't seen each other. And she was just 20mins away from where I'm staying. she was grocery shopping while I was getting ready to take off and then we met at Starbux. she looked still good. sitting on the stairs and wearing sunglasses lol. we talked for one hour with hot coffee. while we were talking, she recommended that I go with her at her friend's hours for Mexican food dinner. Sound's cool!! We first went to her place to kill time and she cleaned her house in the mean time I was playing myself with her weird silicon pillow.

It was about 6pm. we went to Kim's club to grab some beer and food. and got the place where we were supposed to be. I had no idea what they were talking about all. they all were speaking spanish which I'm eager to learn but they sound absolutely cool. Not only the food that they made was awsome but also music around us was perfect. Thanks Kim!! she is leaving for the states soon and I should meet her again soon. Spanish! Spanish! Spanish! Spanish!!

From tomorrow I will be super busy but I love what I'm doing now. happy Build Seo's life must go on!

Build's song!!!!

Don't boo me. I just was trying to be cute. q:

January 3rd, 2008
Adding features on my blog isn't a piece of cake as on I'm not the cutting edge. It's always pleasure though. The map to see who's on would let me know how big world is and so I can visit the village or town they are from with googlearth which is really amazing. The number of people coming here isn't the matter. it's exciting then I did expect before I started it but I do hope people like my place, Build's life. My writing isn't all on the great or correct grammar so you guys may not really understand what I mean but then ask or tell me on the comment which part isn't clear or which part has wrong grammar then I will fix it, if possible. I really will appreciate that. :)
And I promise I will upload whatever you guys would like to know,see and hear about my life, Korean culture and so on.

2008-01-04T01:13:00.000-08:00

It was beautiful monent and People around me looked all peaceful.

January 2nd, 2008
I couldn't believe that my gym had so many people today that there wasn't any spot to work out. It makes sense a lot. Just seeing that many people, eagerly working out remind me that it was 2nd of 2008 which was the first day the gym opened since this year. That guys want to build up muscles on their body in the mean time girls are working out to loose weight or burn fat for this coming summer are totally true. Don't you think so? I meant that's common. That's part of reason and that's how I became gym bunny. LOL. They all made plans for this year and there might be some problems they would have to go through. But I wish they all make it!! My 2007 was definitely a rollercoaster of a year but emotionally, hopefully my 2008 will be just as exciting!!!

Build Seo was with Ponyboy to see beautiful sunrising at Heaundae Beach in Busan city Korea.
Go to youtube and find me in case you can't focus on this video lol.

The video of sunrising that I watched 1st of this year was done completely. In the celebration of happy 2008 new year, it was born. :) the thing was somewhat late that I tried to make some changes however there still many in the video. Please understand me. Next movie definitely will be much better then my first two video that having my a lot of efforts. I actually was good though It takes about 4hours, struggling from chopping, mixing all pictures and movies. You guys may think it looks easy to make it but many problems were around me while I was working on it. Anyway, I'm just feeling GREAT with my video and that's it.

올해의 마지막 날이다. 올해 난 무슨 일들을 해왔을까? 정말 많은 일들이 일어났었다. 기쁨, 슬픔, 불행, 행복 만감이 교차했던 2007년은 이렇게 지나간다.

결과론적으로 생각한다면, 많은 사람들이 나를 객관적인 시각으로 바라본다면, 난 그렇게 생산적인 많은 일들을 만들어 내지 못했다고 그들을 나에게 말 할 것이다.

대한민국에 있는 대학교 4학년의 학생들 중 한명인 “서 병성”의 첫 번째 그리고 가장 중요한 것이 무엇이냐? 라고 묻는 다면 취업(?) 당연 취업일 것이다. 하지만 난 올해 취업을 하지 않았다. 못했다고 한다면 못한 것일 수 도 있다. 본인은 안 했다라고 언급하고 싶다.

그러면 취업이라는 골! 말고 대학교 4학년이 이루었어야 하는 다른 중요한 것들은 무엇이 있을까? 내가 생각하는 행복은?

행복은 무엇인가? 조금 더 늙어가기 전에 행복이라는 단어의 명확한 뜻을 나의 사전에 심어 놓아야 한다고 생각 했다. 취업을 하면 정신 없이 일해야 하며, 현실을 쫓아 달려나가는 데만 바쁜 그러한 삶을 가진다는 친구 선배의 말을 들으며, 나의 진정한 행복은 무엇인가를 알기 2007년 노력했었다. 미래의 나의 모습도 나의 행복 우선순위에 따라 그려지지 않을까? 지난 2학기에 수강했던 동양의 도와 지혜라는 수업은 들으면서 학생들과 나눈 행복은 사랑하는 사람과 함께 있는 것, 하고 싶은 일을 하는 것, 현재를 만족할 수 있는 나의 생각, 건강, 그리고 가족과 함께 하는 순간 등의 많은 생각들이 있었다. 그리고 나의 사전에 깊지는 않지만 얇은 행복의 뜻을 간략하게 다시 썼다.

나만의 행복을 알기 위해 정말 많은 시간과 과정이 필요했다. 쉬는 시간에 앉아 Mp3음악을 들으며 고민도 했고, 등굣길에 이른 아침에 가게 문을 여시는 아저씨의 희망찬 밝은 미소도 보았으며, 하굣길에 실적이 좋지 않은 붕어빵 아주머니의 근심 있는 얼굴을 보며 같이 마음도 아파했다. 또 무엇이 있었을까? 50명이 넘는 파티에서 술을 마시며 다음날 아침까지 많은 이야기와 웃음으로 시간을 보냈고, 혼자서 넉 달 동안 밥을 먹으며 외로움이 무엇인지 알기 위해 노력했다.

사람들은 이런 고민과 생각, 내가 투자한 시간들이 헛된 것이라고 말할 수 있다. 하지만 삶의 또 다른 관점에서 본다면 생산적인 일이 아니었을까?

December 27th, 2007
Christmas holiday is over. I woke up late today around 1pm. I actually woke up early at 6am and I had breakfast with my father around 7am. I went to sleep with my puppy after my father off to work. How cute he was and that just seeing him made me happy. Haku was sleeping on my ab. Despite me being in a hurry because of number 1, I didn’t move and saw how peaceful his look was. He woke up and did eye contacts for some minutes. I wasn’t even moving my body, I rather was careful not to wake him up but he knew that I woke up. I think he could recognize the different speed of my heart, pumping between I woke up and I’m in a sleep.

This morning I got Christmas present from my camera. It was memory chip in it. Few months after I got back Korea from Canada, due to my laptop, having virus I did have to lose all my memory I’ve got and put into my laptop. About 40Gb’s pictures, diary and everything. But the chip that I just found has about 100picuturs I took for 4days for Rocky mountain travel. I check all pictures again and again for about 20mints. Wow! It was like I just found my lost memories and I said thanks Santa!!!!!

2007-12-27T04:50:00.000-08:00

SanTa Haku's here to say Merry Christmas!!

December 25, 2007
Christmas day in Korea is for party. Don’t get me wrong. Because I probably was right that people would rather to spend it with friends or someone whom they like or love. And I should say sorry for people who environmentally or physically can’t be with their family for x-mas.

I took a bus, heading to the city of Jin Ju to see my family for this holiday. All my family called me many times and said come to Jin Ju. I think I’ve been really good to keep that my family always comes first to me. This year many sad things happened to them and they deserve to have great time with whom they truly love who is me. Cool!!!. So I didn’t set any plan for Christmas :> .
My Puppy, Haku was first one, greeting me at the door. He jumped and tried to grab my both knees. I loved him, even though he was spitting on my face ^.^. me, my parents and my younger sister went really nice BulGogi restaurant for lunch and we went straight to get beer. And guess what was next? Karaoke!!!!!!!!! was next place to be crazy. It was like Mic was bonded on my father’s hand and my mother was trying to take it off. I was in the middle of war but it was so funny to my younger sister and me. We came over Bakery shop to buy cake and we ended up eating it in the best comfortable zone, MY HOME. The other night someone said I did not know what love is. But I saw the true love my family has and I have for four of us.

2007-12-27T04:25:00.000-08:00

This is my school.

December 23, 2007
I’m not officially a student in 2months but I can say there’s no more responsibility around me as being a student from now on! It’s quite sad that I should say good bye to my school where I’ve have great time with my all friends I did learn many good things and bad thingsJ. Yes, I’m going to graduate it however I don’t plan to work for coming 3months. The thing is that some jobs I was offered didn’t match my interests, strong points and my future plan which is extremely important. Then you guys would ask me why I did apply for those jobs, Yes I was in a hurry and I was so eager to work in Seoul for some reasons that I seriously wasn’t careful of seeing what I was doing. Once I know I’m competitive and so I could get more chances next year, I’m not going to just see those chances will pass by me. I will knock every single chance next year! Don’t call me crazy.

2007-12-27T02:08:00.000-08:00

this is where my friend's Devin lives and his place is at the top!

December someday, 2007
Okay. Where to start? I’ve been stop updating this for a while due to my final test, which ended up well and Christmas party with Devin and his girl friend their some Korean friends.

Thanks Devin and Tamara(?) (I’m not sure if its spelling is right for her name.) It was around 6pm few days ago. I got text from my friend, Devin. Can you come my place for Christmas party? What a coincidence!! I was thinking to text him in order to say happy Christmas!! Anyway, it wasn’t easy to say “YES, I’d love to do it” because if it is party for him and his girl’s school teachers, I would be the third wheel. Well I relatively sociable and people say I’m good at being absorbed in any place with any kind of people but I made a decision when it comes to meeting new people, be more careful about everything not to make my image that I’m just hanging around foreigners for some bad reasons after something happened to me a month ago. Anyway, it turned out the party was with mainly his Korean friends and I wasn’t hesitating to go!
Oh My God. His place was at the top, 51st floor in the build, called Centrum Park in Heaundea. Is the CN tower in Toronto is higher than this? Was what I thought when I saw super beautiful night scenery through the window ;). It was awesome that I was able to see Gwang An bridge which is one of the Busan attractive and famous place where Busan fireworks show held, with cool ocean view. I still remember his previous apartment which was also good to me. Well his life looks wonderful!! He likes his job and teaching English in Korea, having awesome place to stay with his adorable girl friend. He and his girl math really well and they are so lovely well. (I wasn’t maybe able to find a girl before) I believe that’s why they are together. And I was wondering how many foreigners are as happy as my friend, Devin is with their current Korea life.
Sweet rush!!! Guess! My body doesn’t need any sugar nutrition next year and I got to work out really hard to get rid of this sweet weight. Chocolate cookie, cheese traditional something, etc. I’ was stunned when I saw Devin’s homemade arts!! J We played drinking game and with this game we know about our some private things. It was all fun!!

17th. Dec. 2007 . Mon.

How great it is to see New Car, Genesis Hyundai just published about a week ago. I already new that this car was supposed to release this time 1year ago as one of the people who love car and Hyundai car. Two kinds of displacement cars, 3.3 and 3.8cc(290 horse power)are going to come to see us and they are for domestic.(For North America and other countries, Z will be much stronger and bigger then them.) Why Hyundai and KIA made this work of art is not only to change cheap image but also to lesson people who Korea cars are just crap. Why did I think like that? The thing is that this Z's main competitor is Es330 of Toyota and BMW's some kind of cars,having same horsepower.

Let's see how it looks like.

People would say It still isn't competitive. well It may be not. But I will pet Hyundai on back and stand in its side. Think When it started making cars. It did about 30years later then Japan or other's major car did and world says it's incredible that H has been growing so fast and offering brilliant cars with reasonable price.

I couldn't find Ara's picture in her blog, I guess this is
her favorite music guy so I place this instead of her face LOL.

14th. Dec. 2007

It was sunny today, that made me feel really cool. I enjoyed coffee with chatting with a beautiful girl who is my friend.Ara. she has real sweet heart and seems to know how to show the faith to people. We just talked about how differnt guy and girls are and that lessened me something, important in relationship between couple just A person hit my brain while talking with about it with her. But I'm not mentioning about it. yes I was a damn silly guy before, childish, grabber and immature. just hope not to do the same mistake again. Though it was for about 30min's talk, she made me forget pressure, pushing me my both shoulder from final term.

Oh my god. The test was in two hours and my brain started not working properly. had no idea what was going on with me. The talk from people, sitting around me wasn't that bothering me but I didn't find why my brain was completely white.

통계분석론 is OVER. I won't take this class again. Just why I did study that a lot and what did i do for this test were hitting my head. my test was bad. Do you think how hard I worked for this once I know would be the last chance to make my GPA better. my all troubles went for nothing. what's done is done. I can't take it back. There won't be me, being sad. there will be me, excited with happy new year and such a good plan.

I seriously wanna write this but fuxx tired now so catch up later guys.

2007-12-07T06:42:00.000-08:00

I would rather stop wrting this till my final term is over.

Today's thought //Just be strong, and be patient. They will see how incredible you are. and then they will say I was completely right. Keep your head up and do whatever you want.

I just got back home from the school. I studied 통계분석론 for about 3hours at my school library. It was for final term,coming in 2weeks you may think I still have a plenty of time to prepare for test. Then I would say that You don't ever know what that subject is. Wow, Look at people, sitting on the chair. It's like they were bonded and so they couldn't physically stand up LoL. Not sure what they always are studying for more then 6hours a day but they don't look tired. Yes right!!! I DO have to do what I like and what I want and then I'm not gonna get stressed or tired easily. Anyway, 통계분석론 sucks.

Congratulate to a friend of mine, Jong Gang!!!!! He Finlay got reported from a company that they officially will hire him. Where he will work in is Sam Sung Stock Company. This company sound's really cool because of Sam Sung's name value, I guess. He and I came this school about 3years ago and we both have been really hard worker to achieve our girls which is the job that we want. The differences we have is that He doesn't have any city he would like to work on the other hand there have been only one city that I would like to live. But I totally admire how hard work he worked and how patient he was to get this job and I hope He really enjoys his life with it.

Oh,I didn't even notice that she was holding my left hand. Cool!

Where should I work? Is the city that I work in really important? I don't know. Many people ask me why,, why,,,I would like to get a job in Seoul, saying Busan is also good city to live and I can't have any right to choose the city I wanna work in because of high competition to get a job in Korea society. Well,, I would say that doesn't mean that I'm not able to go to the city that I want. This has been really really hard to know what would be good in my future plan. SPANISH!!!!!!!! This is what I would like learn however my English is not that good. But I'm not only eager to learn it but also I wanna stay in Seoul with job.

1. Here is not good Spanish school though Seoul has more schools in Busan.
2. I never saw any people from Spain or who's able to speak it and I believe Seoul has people who can speak Spanish more then any other cities In Korea.

3. I've been living by myself past 7years, 2years in Masan, 2years in Goje and Gosung, the rest of years in Busan. With this 7years, I've got many friend and I seriously think I'm ready to go to another place to make new human network. Eventually There are tons of people who are expert in my interesting field and I wanna meet them and learn how they became it.
Do they any make a sense, don't they? Well there are some more reasons, But I'm not mentioning them.

Wow! I ran into 2 girls who were in Eng conversation class in Eng major about 7months ago. I don't know why I was so happy,meeting them. Probably I was missing Eng class. the class that I wanted to take this semester was overlapped with my major class so I couldn't take it. The English class I had last semester with Professor Nill was always happy. He is the best Eng professor whom I've met since I started this school. turning back to the scene that I met them while I was sitting on fence,enjoying coffee. How sweet they were. They looked so happy to see me. Oh,, Guess I was a good guy, HeHe. We catched up with how have we been doing, and they didn't seem like happy studying English major due to the fact that they don't have many opportunities to apply for jobs though they actually like Eng. Do what we want and keep working hard.. No matter how hard it is to get a job.. That doesn't really matter. Many chances are coming toward us and we won't miss it when we are ready. When they was told that.. they changed their mood slightly and then finally had smile. Of course I smiled at them too.
