Bittersweet

As mentioned on my last blog, last weekend was the Cheusok weekend or the Korean Thanksgiving. In spirit of the holiday, I am thankful to be blessed. Blessed that I am still alive. Thankful that I am away from any kind of sickness. I am thankful that I have people who can support me physically, mentally, spiritually, financially... when I need it. I may complain here and there but I think it's all out of hormones. HAHA.

The trip to Deokjok Island was a success. No one was hurt (badly) and no "drama" went on. Others' stories may be more interesting but it was fun to be the observer. LOL. I did attempted to hike up a rocky mountain and failed an hour later. The rocks were just to pointy and my hands were hurting me. I didn't feel to bad afterwards when some of the people that went on the hike came back because they got hurt pretty bad. I did redeemed myself by climbing up the Pagoda; which was the highest peak on the island, with few other people - Drake, Lavleen, Gagan, Whitney, Rob, Sean, Jason, Mike, Seo-Hee, Racine, Jon, and Sam. I thought I was going to have to turn around for this one too just because it started raining and there were thunderstorm but nope, I kept on walking. It was tiring for sure but well worth the hike. Here one picture (not everyone included in the picture):


The weekend was, overall, really good. It was nice to get away from the city and just sit in the beach. And/or not even worry about the time. I think my biggest thing was just food. Having samgyuepsal (thicker version of bacon), chips, beer, and soju simultaneously for the past 3 days and 2 nights was not cutting it for me. Should've bought my own food. It's alright though. Still made it out alive. LOL. And having First Nepal (this really good Indian restaurant @ Bupyeung) made it for it.



Anyways.... I finally bought my laptop! Not exactly what I wanted (Macbook Pro). Instead I just got the white MacBook. It'll do :) I have yet to name this piece of thing. LOL. The price didn't really change much just because I bought here... it was W1,450,000 but got it down to W1,330,000. Not too bad, considering I didn't have to pay taxes. I paid it all in cash. Yep.

And today I got hooked up for the internet! YAY! So, maybe I'll be posting more frequently. I think. Maybe. LOL.

Until then, -M
