Dear fans of my web.
I should sorry to make you wait to see new part of my life. My mind is always here but plz understand me, being so busy with my new part time job, job interview stuff and tests that I should pass for a job.
I promise I will try to make new stuff as early as possible and please wait and remember this my place :)
This is the card.
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...

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

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
.
This is GoJe trip video, made by Andy
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.

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.
This is a Rape Flower bed. Take some rest here :)
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.
Look at this guy! :)
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.
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

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.

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

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.

"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.

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
