calling all ground hogs

Winters end cant come soon enough

Happy New Yeat Baabbbbyyy!!

So 2010 rolled in like a 18 wheeler and I had to throw my ass into overdrive to keep up. I've been working and partying nonstop. I set a few goals for this bright and shiny new year.. some similar to the years before and some a lil different: Lose weight, but gain more independence. Exercise my body , but also find ways to exercise my mind. DO 5 things I've NEVER done before. I have no idea what they will be.. maybe one will be actually complete a resolution LOL. I miss my friends so much it hurts.. but everything is starting to hurt a lil less these days. I think I'm growning up?

there and back

over the xmas holidays i got the chance to go home. After one week..i was ready to ome back to korea.

Michael Jackson- You are not alone

To all the Die-Hard- No-Limit Michael Jackson fans out there..

SO I just finished watching the newly released movie ‘This is it” and I felt like I had to try and do SOMETHING to connect with people who can understand what I’m going through right now. …because I'm feeling really crazy.

I’ve been completely smitten with Michael since I was too young to remember. I’ve enjoyed every performance, song, and dance he’s done many times over. I like to sing and dance to his music while I’m.... well just about anywhere. He’s without a doubt a very special and important part of my life. Some of my friends and family don’t understand my passionate obsession with the King of Pop… They think ‘ sure he’s got cool moves and great songs but we don’t even really care for the guy’ It’s not like that for me.. I think about him at least once everyday for what has now been my life. I know the songs inside and out and the move me beyond words, to tears, to deeper understanding of myself and other in the world, to greater heights than I’ve ever known.

I know, from the screaming fans I’ve seen passing out on screen, or imitating his dance moves to a on youtube, or devoting lives to looking more like him….., that I’m not the only one. But I still seem to be the only one around feeling a lil’ lost and hopeless. Y'know I find myself wishing to be around people that were ok with a conversation saturated with notes on Michael, or stories about how music changed my life, or even no conversation at all.. just listening to the music together and feeling connected to something great.

Don’t think that I’m a MJ Psycho.. that’s simply not the case.. I just miss so terribly the best thing that never happened to me.

Of all the BS de la Korea that I'm tired of...

I'm so tired of the people who hold any kinda of position of authority being an absolute scaredy cat panty waste, who makes decisions that benefit no one and accomplish jack. I'm tired of being screwed over by the guys that barely have the title that they are tryna lord over and smite you down with. What the piss man? So another principal comes into the camp and everyone believe him to be genuinely kosher.. but as always, I have my doubts. He 's a man, he's koream, and he's old.. he's prolly a dirty bird bastard!

Any how he's tryna jip me outta 2 weeks of vactaion time. This time is
owed to me becasue i didn't go home for 2 weeks in between my renewal. I was supposed to be able to just take the time offthis winter.. where we all know there is not shit to do at school but look at the walls.

ARGH.. if I don't get the time.. i'm simply gonna leave mid contract which is Dec 8. Plenty of time to go home and find a boo before christmas. Maybe get married to my childhood sweetheart (wink). Make up some lost time with friends and family. And enjoy being an american whilst all the haters continue in there adoration of.... Shit I welcome contracting swine flu so long as it's on US soil..

I'm alive!

I'm always so awfully busy that i never get to write. I actually am loving my new job and I'm pondering weather I should stay another year... sigh... I am in a bit of a depression because I'm really missing Michael Jackson. :( but I'm seeking comfort in others and finding it.. so i'm consoled slightly. I can't wait to visit my home! I'm so excited!

that's very cute

Michael Jackson - i miss you

I got to school today for work. Hopped on facebook to play some serious sorority life. And I see all these rest in peace MJ updates. It hit me that i'd hear 2 MJ song on the bus to work and as usual they brightened my day. I thought that maybe it could be a hoax but upon cheking verifiable news sources.. i found out its true. the tears that came them still flow as i write. I feel so devestated. My thooughts and prayers go out to his family and his loved ones- people like me tucked way in the corners of the earth forever inspired, faithfully in love and hopelessly devoted to this magical man. Ever since i was little i remember praying for my loved ones at night before i went to bed. God bless Mom, brother, grandma, grand pa, family cat, and Michael Jackson....


I know he's better off but i will miss him more than anyone can ever realize.

New Beginnings

So I finally escaped the confines of the workplace I like to call Yeongju's English Slave Center. I'm working at a brand new job. It's heaven sent.. I didn't even really want to come here.. but i'm thinking about never leaving. The life of the English teacher need not be hard, tiresome, and uninspired as was my last job. Save the awful gov't issued curriculum and the distance away from the city.. Everythings good. I'm still living in a hotel because my apartment is being built. The kids are top quality and not as judgemental as the city kids were. I don't feel like I have to wear my battle gear here.

I'm spliting my weeks between 3 schools.

Korean Government Gears Up Against H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu)

In the face of the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus, the Korean government has raised its pandemic alert level to 2 out of 4, and is carrying out emergency procedures 24 hours a day to prevent the spread of the virus. In Korea, public fears over a possible full-blown pandemic are diminishing after the patients who had contracted the H1N1 virus made full recoveries, but of course vigilance is still necessary. Korean health authorities have tightened quarantine measures, and incoming passengers from infected countries are being thoroughly checked and monitored to detect any signs of infection. These passengers are also being called afterwards to check whether they have developed any flu-like symptoms. Moreover, two sets of heat sensors have been placed at airports to detect travelers with fevers and in-flight quarantine procedures are also being carried out if deemed necessary. The Korean government has a good history of responding quickly to the outbreak of a pandemic. When the severe SARS and AI viruses broke out, Korea remained safe thanks to its influenza monitoring system and quarantine measures. Park Seung-chul, Chairman of New Influenza Emergency Measure Committee said the World Health Organization (WHO) had applauded Korea’s influenza monitoring system and rapid response measures.
