You're highly perceptive, and confident in your judgements. You'd take brutal honesty over superficiality any time--your friends always know where they stand with you. You're completely unfake. Don't tell me that's not a word. You're also excellent at redirecting internal negative energy. These facts indicate people are often intimidated by you. They also fall for you, hard. You have a distant, composed allure that many find irresistible. If only more of them lived up to your standards. You were probably the last among your friends to have sex. And the first to pretend that you're pregnant. LOL. Though you're inclined to use sex as weapon, at least it's not as one of mass destruction. You're choosier than most about your partners. A supportive relationship is what you're really after. Whether you know it or not, you need something steady & long-term. And soothing.

DISSS!!

i'm stoked for this sunday,
I'll be in some skin tight garbs doing what i've wanted to do...
SCUBA DIVE!! woot woot
by the time i go to fred's wedding, i'll be scuba certified to dive on my own.
*ah* awesomeness.
A long weekend is also coming up and i'll be spending it with sarah out in the country.
It'll be cool.

Today, i had to do some damage control...and also duck away from some certain contracts
it was exhausting..
and then i had an idiotic brat claim that i was stupid and crazy, hence he doesn't have to listen to me,
despite not knowing the majority of things we were conversing about.
yes, wonderful.
It's *such* a smart thing to do to call a person who can pass or fail him an idiot.
*so* smart.
He claims i'm crazy and an idiot because i twist his, unrelated to the topic in class, words and situations.
He's followed by one of those sheep individuals who are not popular or liked themselves,
but follow the one who is supposedly the "popular" ones.
These individuals are also called the "leech" "follower" "brown noser" "sheep" "the bitch" and etcetera.
he's become so confident with his association that he no longer thinks as an individual and uses the "I" but the "We"
Very sad, I pity him greatly.

Either way, I dealt with the situation fairly well, with him having to contain himself and being silent.
And me not having to get into trouble with my superiors by crushing his self-esteem and making him cry...despite wanting to do it *oh so much*
I think if he thinks i'm an idiot, he shouldn't be telling me this,
but to my superior.
Honestly, i'm clearly not the decision maker.
If i was, the little shit would be tortured or no longer be around (as in, no longer study in my school...not because he would be killed...despite a little piece of me hoping for it).
So if really, if my intellect is not up to par with my students, they should definitely bring it up to my superiors.
Of course my superiors would laugh at their absurd claims,
but still:
Why complain or state something to a person who can't do anything with the information?!
Smart indeed.

alas! only the idiot claims to be smarter than everyone else.
i'm not saying i'm NOT stupid or an idiot.
I agree that i am.
The thing that i disagree is that he was less of an idiot than I.
That's what i'm saying.
He also should've taken note that i didn't disagree w/ him about his claims that i was crazy.
Cuz only a crazy person would work in such conditions and deal with little shits with a smile on their face.

*ah* isn't life grand!

time to watch my shows about murder.

*moment*

I just had a:
Holy crap! I'm in Korea
moment.

it's a bittersweet thang..but mostly sweet

I think i have somehow drowned out the Korean language being spoken and written around me...
it's messed up, I know.
At least I no longer wake up from bed and realize that I'm not in Canada in my own bed anymore..
it was a cruel cruel awakening,
waking up to a place you weren't expecting to wake up to.

Speaking of which: The 23rd that just recently passed was my 9 monthiversary
time does fly.

"idiots say 'what?'" "what?" "exactly"

yeah, that's what happens when you deal with pre pubescent, annoying teens

In a good 10 or so hours, I'll be taking a drug test
yup, a drug test.
I shouldn't have anything to worry about
although sadly, my prescription drugs might cause a false positive...huzzah...
*boo* to the lax health confidentiality clauses in Korea.
I'm not a big fan of revealing my entire medical history/ prescription drug history to my employers or to any person, to be honest with you.

anyways, i'll be prodded, x-rayed and gawd knows what....
and then after, i'll go straight to work *le sigh*

speaking of work: i have a fuller schedule and less breaks :*(
however, what has kept me up lately is that I found out one of my students is glad he has me as a teacher b/c he thinks i'm funny...
and an ex-student who is now being taught by Lauren absolutely loves me, despite not having taught her for over 5 months.
She even wrote in her journal that she really wants me back
:*) awww.... she's so sweet.
They made my day, despite having a shite-y day.

I also found out one reason my boss really likes me is that I come from University of Toronto...
well...surely b/c it wasn't b/c of my teaching skills... *le sigh*

Side note: i'm really contemplating leaving if Lauren doesn't stay.
She's my travelling buddy and it'd suck if she's not around.
So yeah...if she leaves, i'm contemplating going to teach at Indonesia and she would join me.
Although, the money won't be as good...but, it'd still be fun,
which is what i'm mostly about.
I don't know.
I've been juggling a lot of 'ifs' and 'buts' lately that my head just numbs itself.

In addition, a few things have been revealed to me as of late
and i'm glad it has.
It gives me a better picture as to what is occurring around me...and without me.
I'm glad i'm seen as someone's very good and close friend
and i'm glad they trust me.
It makes me feel like despite all the wrong things i've done,
i've at least done SOMETHING correctly..
and at least the thing that i've done correctly is considered really important to me.

and with that, i bid adieu.
pictures shall eventually pop up.

Right now, I'm at school.

Extremely peeved...PISSED, to be exact...SEETHING...

I was already in a pretty grumpy mood before getting into the school because I hardly had any sleep due to a puking pooch who got into my teacher's day gifts and destroyed and ate virtually everything.

And then while walking to school, I realize that I forgot to bring Geek's number to call him...

And THEN i get scolded for making a hard to control class do lines,

despite having completed the lesson AND controlled the class.

 

Here's a tip on how to deal with me when i'm pissed or extremely upset:

Don't talk to me.

I don't want to share what i'm thinking at the moment.

When i'm damn ready, i'll bring it up.

If you want to talk to me, don't talk to me about the possible subject that's upsetting me,

talk to me about another topic. I would be fine.

If you talk to me about the subject, i'll get even more upset....

 

*Argh*

Now my supervisor's cowering away. Because she knows i'm pissed..

and she's sending her minions to approach me.

wonderful.

 

I know I wasn't the best coordinator or executive director at SEC...

but i'm pretty certain that i'm considerably better than my current supervisor.

 

Keywords: constructive criticism...and stop playing the blame game

.....

....you bastard!
THIS is what i get when i save my password in my comp..
and fall asleep in front of the laptop *Sigh*

nothing much to report...
I received a package from my parents, and yet again,
most of the things were for sophie...
they care for her more than for me..and they haven't met her yet
*le sigh*

funny story:
While walking around Downtown Uijeongbu to kill time so that we (Lauren and I) could pick up Sophie for the doctor,
Lauren had to really go to the washroom..
so we decided to go to the closest cafe..buy a drink and then use the washroom.
There was a place saying "cafe" so we went...
it was oddly in the basement.. (1st sign something was wrong)
It was dark and..a familiar, yet mysterious stench emanated through the air (2nd and 3rd thing wrong)
We sat down at a table and looked at the drinks that had no prices...
There were a bunch of shady looking women staring at us..
and the tea and coffee that we ordered were the instant stuff....

What we found out after (and to my suspicions) was that we entered one of the infamous prostitution cafes... aka "da bang" (da=[i forgot] bang=room)
that's right...a prostitution cafe
awkward? indeed!

no wonder they were looking at us weirdly...
and when we came out, a bunch of men hanging outside were flustered.
but yes, *whoops* an honest mistake, i swear.

*blargh* i'm so tired i'm going to go to bed.

HACKED!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Re:

To answer your question:
my daily routine is dependent on well...what occurs in the morning or the night before.
If i did not sleep at 3 or 4am or awaken to the sound of my phone ringing with the other end informing me to go online and webcam so that a) they can show me something or b)that i'm not cheating on them;
I wake up at around 10:30am and go straight to the gym
Work out for an hour,
come back, drink a strawberry, banana and ginseng smoothie;
walk the dog,
feed the dog,
then go straight to school by 1pm.
I do some paperwork until 1:30pm and then I eat lunch.
2pm, class
4:30pm, i have a break and eat a snack while doing paperwork or get out of the school for some fresh air.
9:20pm, school ends, get back home
have dinner (on Wednesdays, I go out to eat with Lauren)
and then right after, if I am not totally exhausted from the day or if dinner hasn't gone past 10:45pm, I go to the gym for an hour of working out.
When I get back home, I spend some TLC with my special individual and/or socialize with Shella/Lauren/Danielle,
watch TV for a little while, do some house chores;
take a shower,
read and then go to sleep...around...2am.
Then I do it aalllll over again.

Happy now?

Presently, i'm contemplating looking around for some cool places to go around Korea.
Another long weekend is coming in a few weeks and Sarah (a cool Korean teacher), Lauren, and I are planning to go on a one day trip just to enjoy the scenery...go to a cafe..go to the beach and to talk.
Sarah's really cool and random.
During one of the meetings, there was a disagreement between my supervisor and I regarding why I should be forced to eat later and Sarah..in an attempt to support me said:
"Well, she's Chinese Canadian. Food is very important to them"
I just had to stop with my mouth open...I was both offended and amused.
But I LOVE that explanation now.
Sarah was totally embarrassed and explained that one of her Chinese friends informed her about the importance of food to the Chinese and she informed her friend about what she said..and he told her how stupid her comment was.
But it amuses me now and I try to use that excuse as much as possible,
not to embarrass her, mind you, but b/c i absolutely LOVE it now.
her randomness and eccentricities are great and I really enjoy her company.

Speaking of Korean teachers, one awesome Korean teacher, who's a preschool teacher really reminds me of one of my favorite highschool friends: Brenda Ham.
They look, act and talk almost exactly the same.
They just make me smile.
So everytime I talk or look at her, I always see Brenda, and it brings a smile to my face.
I spoke to Brenda a few weeks ago online.
We haven't spoken to one another for a few years,
it was pretty cool learning about what she's been up to.
She surprised me though with a comment she made regarding me...
that despite not having seen or spoken to her for a lengthy amount of time,
she thought of me as such after learning I've been travelling and plan on travelling for the next few years:

brenda says:
yeah, a person like you with so much passion, u need to explore the world

this comment resonated in my head for the following days.
It surprised me because I couldn't believe she saw that and thought of me like that...
It made me happy.


Alright, i'm ending this on a good note.
Adieu and goodnight...or to many: good morning

my bad

i apologize for the lack of updates.
I know i have been terrible posting.
I can't help it.
I just love not having to be tied to the computer.
It's absolutely....freeing (notice my diminishing vocabulary? *sigh*)
I've been tied to the computer and my cellphone for so long that it's been absolutely amazing to no longer have to be obligated to be around it.
Of course it has been terrible for communication with friends and family
as it is limited to whenever i do feel necessary to go online..but...
hey! i'm happy and still alive!

I've done numerous things including rafting...getting lauren to shave her unshaven legs at the cost of me painting my toenails....going out of seoul for a vacation...causing havoc with my boss....taking small steps to officiate my second year here... and so on and so forth.
but of course, like the bastard that i am, I won't be going into specifics about it.
Actually, what's been getting to me lately is this:
I've realized how much i've missed back in the Canadas..and it makes me wonder about a lot of things..and the constant question has been
"what happened?!" "why?!" and "what were you thinking?!"
but of course, they won't be answered.

i'll try to update more.
i'll try to write more...but i'm just having way too much fun experiencing instead of writing about said experience.


by the way: i'm addicted to the tv show "Pushing Daisies" it's morbidly funny.
i highly recommend it.

P.S. a crapload of pictures can be found here.
I'm too lazy to edit and copy and paste every link:

pictures galore!
