Hooked up with an Aussie last night
Woke up with two hickies and bruises on my arm.
Men from Australia are out.of.their.minds.
Update from Indonesia
A guy I met on the plane and have been in constant contact with since arriving just invited me to his penthouse villa to swim in his private pool. He’s British. Lives in Germany. Travels the world doing business. Is this too good to be true?
Just ran into Glasses.
Not awkward.
Nope.
Not.at.all.
DAMN HE IS CUTE!
I don't know why this is bothering me!
The fact that K cancelled on our dinner tonight has me so worked up! I was really looking forward to seeing him before I left tomorrow morning. When we talked a few days ago, he asked if we could meet before I left and I said that I could meet on Friday night, but I had to come home early. He said I didn’t have to meet him if it was too much and I said if he wanted to wait until I came back,...
Blah.
K and I had loose plans to meet tonight for dinner because I am leaving for Bali tomorrow morning. I messaged him last night to confirm and a few hours later he replied saying “Sorry I saw this message just now. And I am so so sorry but I can’t meet for dinner.” Gr. Something about him makes me feel off.
While everyone else is in Bali (You know who I'm...

One word: HATER.
Naturally.
Had a great night with K [formerly known at bartender] last night, which I wrote about. I didn’t write about everything because I get like that when I am hoping something will transpire with me and someone. I keep it to myself in hopes that I don’t jinx myself! I’m such a dork.
So, I went to sleep feeling all happy and giddy AND WHAT DO I WAKE UP TO BUT A TEXT FROM EXBF TELLING...
Date with bartender.
Okay, I haven’t posted about Glasses because there is not much to post. He was so sweet and so nice and so lovely. But, in the end I didn’t feel it. Ya know… the feeling. The zza zza zoo, if you will. So, he and I are in friend zone.
Enter bartender. Well, he is technically not a bartender anymore [more about that later] and he is so hot. OMG. I mean, while we were out tonight...
Threw up last night for the first time since my...
Fucking soju. Gets me EVERY TIME. I stay away from it as best I can, but eventually I always succumb to its luring ways. I went to a friend’s house to make some soju cocktails and then we headed to our local bar around 11.
As soon as I walked in, I noticed that the place was packed, and there was only one female there. We gave our regards to the owner and I noticed he had a new bartender....
I'm officially on the bartender bandwagon.
He’s tall.
Majoring in Law.
Done with army.
Long hair.
Great style.
Write more after the Dawn 808 kicks in.
Cancelled on Glasses.
We had loose plans to meet tonight for coffee when he got off work, but I just can’t bring myself to go out. I hate flaky people and I would hate for him to see me as such, but I just had the hardest week. It was one of those weeks where I forgot what day it was, where I was, and where I was going. I’m not trying to sound all cool, here. I LITERALLY forgot what day it was multiple...
Fucking Friday.

This morning, one of my kids threw up into my mouth and then spit it out in a tissue.
I thought it was gross.
….That was until another student of mine [the same one who pooped his pants three days ago] threw up ALL OVER HIMSELF and let it slide down his clothes and onto the floor.
I need a bath.

I’m hoping that the ‘spit it out’ that makes me...

Now here's a winner.
A girl I used to go to school with just posted this on Facebook:
“Graduating college in 4 years is like leaving a party at 11pm.. no one does it. Welppp 4 & a half years later.. *** COLLEGE GRADUATE!”
I’m sorry. Are you really bragging about not being able to graduate on time? Just please.. I mean… really?!
Come on. Let's be real.
Tonight on my way home, the driver of the 마을 bus decided he was going to race an A6 that pulled up next to us. I might have been the only one who noticed the heightened levels of testosterone, and it was so worth it.
Bet you can’t guess who won….
Oh, darn.
I just found out that Glasses has to work all weekend!! I was planning to take him to a good beer place in Seoul this weekend as a birthday treat ( it was yesterday ) and I am going to Bali next Saturday! When will I see him?! And why ami bothered by this? 헐~
I know everyone thinks their job is the hardest at...
But I had a kid LITERALLY poop his pants in class today. Then, he proceeded to stick his hand down the back of his pants and ask me what happened.
End Scene.
Comfort Women in Korea - 1000th Protest →
fromnoonawithlove:
Today (Wednesday December 14th 2011).
Women, and men for that matter, all over the world have suffered at the hands of others. But, for some reason I will never fully understand, the issue of the Comfort Women has always touched me in a way other issues have not. When I was attending university in Seoul, I received permission from my professor to skip class so I could attend...

Was talking to Glasses about American couples and Korean couples. He said that in his own experience, much of his arguments with previous girlfriends stemmed from them looking through his phone without his permission. He said that he has friends who exchange their phones with their girlfriends when they meet so they can check up on their partner’s behavior.
I have encountered this on...

I was half asleep, but I’m pretty sure grandpa has been creeping on other old ladies in the hood. There were a lot of swear words and breakable things being thrown. Just another night in the 시골.
His mom gave me Kimchi.
If you’ve been following me today, you will now that Exbf messaged me just as I was about to go meet glasses. This put me in a really shitty mood, for a few reasons. One, because I still love him so much and wish there was a way to work things out. Two, because I like glasses and want to explore what this connection between us.
Glasses said he wanted to meet at 4 for dinner, and to be...
In the car
We almost just died as I was typing. Boy needs to pay attention to the road! All Koreans need to pay attention for that matter. Dayum! Anyway~~ he is bringing me somewhere ‘far away’ and has been calling his mom for directions. He says it’s a river? Hoping he doesn’t plan on dumping my body there!
Radar.
Just am I’m doing my final preparations for my date with Eyeglass, Exbf messages me. When I told him I’m doing great, he said “are you being sarcastic?”
I JUST CAN’T RIGHT NOW.
Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!
There is no need to be talking about how drunk you were last night while in the changing rooms of Forever 21. No one wants to hear it. No one cares. Also, acting like a complete group of bitches because the line you chose to stand in is not moving fast enough is why foreign girls get the looks we do.
imaginarysya asked: The guy you just went on a date with, do you guys communicate in English or Korean? I'm just curious. Hehe anddd he sounds so adorable! Snap a photo togetherrr, I wanna see how he looks IF you want to show his face to your followers that is.
Date #2 in detail.
Movie and Makkeolli. He is just so sweet! Can’t take it. Anyway. Putting a read more because I don’t want to spam.
Okay, so I showed up late, which is very unlike me. I ended up underestimating how long it would take me to get from work to home to the movie theater. When I arrived, he was off shopping, and we met by MCM. He was wearing the freshest grey coat with black jeans, black...
Just got home from my date.
Excuse any spelling errors: I am kinda tipsy.
We watched the movie and I found it hilarious. EXCEPT the fact that the scary parts were REALLY FUCKING SCARY. Not at all like how the previews depicted the movie. We met and chatted for a bit before going into the theater. He was wearing all black and grey, again. After the movie we went to a jeon place and got some random jeon and makkeoili. We...
Spicy Enough For You?: Kiss My Kimchi →
spicyenoughforyou:
First off, thanks for lovely dinner conversation, Doritos and Kimchi. Seriously, eating the chips now and enjoying every crumb.
Second—if I seemed like I took a distinct left turn in conversation tonight, i.e., ‘So how did you meet glasses?’ it was because I was literally THISCLOSE to asking you…
HAHAHA. That question was random and I literally thought to myself...
Eyeglass just called me.
Asked me out to a movie for Friday night after I get off of work. We are going to see the new Son Ye Jin movie. Score!
BTW, I’m totally planning on creeping on him while he is at work tomorrow. The eyeglass place he works at is right next door to the Soondubu place SEFY and I go every Thursday for dinner. I wonder if he’ll mind seeing my blue eyes creeping on him.

Ghosts of boyfriends past.
Stayed up later than usual, and this guy who I dated last year just messaged me on Facebook. Which is weird, because I was just reading on CNNGO the other day about a restaurant that people are claiming is a version of Hooters, but for women. He took me there last summer because his friend owns it and I had to sit there the whole time while they spoke in their Busan/Daegu accents. I’ve...
