round 2 of 2010 in korea.

Haha. It seems as if the last time I wrote on my blog, it was when I was in Korea. Well, it's December and I'm back in Daegu again. It's only been a few days since I've landed in Korea.

This will be my first winter in Korea. So chances for a white Christmas is higher (though from I hear, it doesn't really snow in Daegu.. shucks).
So how did I end up here across the world, once again, in Korea? Haha. Funny you should ask. A little over a month ago, my boss came to Atlanta like he does every year. But this time he told me, 'You have to come back to Korea with me and teach.' After some thinking and thinking... I bought my ticket 2 weeks ago. and now I'm here.

Well... Some new first reactions.
I went to the little restaurant I always went to last night. I never had a problem going there by myself. And it was pretty late... I was the only in there, and that's fine... the worker ladies should remember (though most I've never seen before). 5 minutes later, I was next to 3 couples.. Sadness.. I don't want to be alone for Christmas... hahahha
My boss is working working me like usual. I will be starting... today. wow. haha
It's kinda cold.. But it's bearable. Still nothing than what I'm normally used to. But I can handle it. Or maybe I'm just afraid to admit it because I know it will get colder, and I dont want to seem like a wimp. Nah, not a wimp..
The hakwon area... has new changes once again. This is the third time I came here within the past 2 years. And every time, there's a new restaurant/store that wasnt there before. And usually, another store opens up while I'm there too. Well, now I have a "new new" coffee place to go to. I dont have to cross the street to the "new" one from summer.

Well. till next time.

taegu time

Hi all.

I have been in Korea for almost 3 weeks now. It's comfortable here. at times. And then home in America is home. haha. but I don't think I can ever call Daegu a home.

Anyways...
First week at the hakwon is almost done... but I don't feel like I'm dying like when I started last summer. Maybe cause there's less students right now... and I just feel less busy. I don't know what to do with all this free time. I dont really know anybody down here in Daegu. Haha. hopefully, things pick up soon. I'm sure it will... It did last year too~

next weekend.. There are plans to have another GLDI reunion. Who knew that I'd see all these people so soon. 2 years ago, when those 40 days ended... I thought it would be forever until I see these people again. (well, except for the 2 other GA people). Happy happy!
And....... I will also get to go see a Yiruma concert. chyeaahh.. I should have practiced from my sister's Yiruma piano book before I came here. Haha

college? check!

i'll be honest...
walking on my graduation was nothing like i expected it to be.
idono, maybe i was too optimistic to think i would hear the arena erupt when my name was called. haha
but i always imagined i would be taking a huge group picture with friends after the ceremony was over.. and grabbing a yummy dinner afterwards. because that's what we always did before.

i've told some people that i was afraid that no one, besides my family, would really come to my graduation...
and that almost happened... thank you for the one friend that did come out...
it means a lot.

idono.. most people had other things to do.. there were a couple of church things that seemed to have coincided with my graduation.. and for others, idono.. maybe they were busy with other things...
i just wished they were busy with seeing me at graduation..

i think i can say this past semester, maybe this past year, was my loneliest.

but i'm freaking outta here.
seeya suckaz~

do you wish to get well?

A couple days ago (on Tuesday), we went over John 5:1-15 in my small group. But i had to pause at one verse.

"When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?" John 5:6 nasb.
Jesus asked the sick man if he wanted to get well... Jesus cares... but it seems like it's us that needs to answer and tell him, "Yes, I do wish to get well." In this situation, we see that Jesus first approached the sick man, and not the other way around. Jesus wants to bless us. Bless me! And move into my life. We just need to let him do it. Too often do I let myself get in the way. Too often do I worry. Too often do I just wait... I need to go to him and respond.

I don't know, the more I think about it, it's like God telling me to just come to him. I sit everyday worrying about what's going to happen next. I sit here and worry about my life. Going crazy in my head. But here comes Jesus, and he's asking me, "Do you wish to get well?"
