    I legit thought it was 2:30pm and I slept through the whole school day. I jumped out of bed in a panic before taking a look outside and realizing it is still pitch black.

    I think this is partially due to the fact my watch has the AM/PM flipped and …

    I thought it would be so funny to …

    Haha. I keep looking at this and laughing. The inspiration behind this? I was talking to my sister Laura about “Game of Thrones.” I have only watched 2 episodes so far of Season 3. My sister was ahead of me in watching it and threaten to reveal spoilers! I told her: “Keep it secret, Keep ...

    Oh Korea. I get a kick out of you. 1) Is it man? Is it a woman? Koreans seems to enjoy when men dress up as women, despite the fact they are really anti-gay people here. I find it intriguing that the back cover of the magazine (which showcases Korean people on the street wearing ...

    Today a 2nd grade student (8th grade in America) kept pointing at my hair and saying “Bip bi! Bip bi!” I was totally confused and tried writing what she was saying on the board in English. She told me it was wrong and then wrote in Korean. That didn’t help me at all! I still ...

    This weekend I am going to a G-Dragon concert! For those unfamiliar with Korean Pop stars, G-Dragon is the bomb! He is one of the most recognized artists in Korea with the exception of PSY. To me G-Dragon is like the male Korean version of Lady Gaga. He is so utterly strange and yet so ...

    Last week I read a Cracked.com article discussing the 5 major Virtues of Mr. Fred Rogers (from Mr. Roger’s neighborhood).

    This afternoon you could find me in the Homeplus supermarket surreptitiously trying to smell rolls of toilet paper through the plastic bag holding them together. I felt like a  giant weirdo and kept glancing over my shoulder to see if anyone was staring at the oddball foreigner. Before you think I am a complete nut, ...
