1. In my huge anticipation to finally see Pretty Boy after what felt like weeks, I sprung out of my bedsheets at the crack of dawn, went for a jog and then came back to shower. It was 7:40 am and so I then headed over to the bus terminal in hopes of surprising him. I was so eager to see him. I waited two hours, he never came.
2. Around 10am I decided to give up and so I went home. By then I was getting weird looks from the workers in the terminal. I'm sure they must have thought I was homeless. Anyway, I then called Pretty Boy. My call woke him up and so I was hurt. I hung up.
3. By the time Pretty Boy finally arrived in Cheonan, it was time for me to head off to school. I was so anxious to see him though and so I met up with him. I saw him from the distance and all I wanted to do was run through the busy traffic and wrap my arms around him. But, he seemed different and so I headed off to school wondering if he really missed me. I know I shouldn't have read into it but hey, I'm a chick. Sometimes us girls are just sensitive like that. Maybe I just hyped this day up to much... hmm.
4. As if Korea wasn't already bombarding me enough with it's "s-line" slogans, pictures, media and whatnot, but the other day Wild Child's mother flat out told me I had a big butt. Today I was out looking at pants and the sales lady suggested that the pants "aren't right" for me. Now listen here, I have NEVER had complaints in Canada about my Polish booty. Actually, my ex in Canada was quite all about it... hehehe. Anyway, besides the butt comments, the other day a "certain someone" suggested that I am a "small" woman, and by that he was hinting at my chest. What's that all about?!!! May I remind him that the only bras I can find here in my size are made for old ajummas (old woman) who's bodies are like twice my size!!! I consider myself to be a small girl with some not-so-small parts. Carmen reassured me that I don't have a big bum and that I have a good set of..... hmmm.... teeth. Hehehe. Thanks Carmen. Hehehe....
5. Class was interesting today. I really like my Tuesday classes cause the students are more relaxed and they really try hard to participate. We simply have a lot of fun in class. The other day it was "Adult Day" here in Korea. It's a day when you give cake and flowers to those who are 21 years of age. Anyway, the joke of the day today was the fact that one of my students saw me yesterday walking around downtown with a cake and so they assumed this could only mean that either my boyfriend is 21 or I'm 21. Neither of us are 21 but they had a good time joking about it. They have no idea how old I am... hehehe.
6. Pretty Boy picked me up from school and so I finally got to sit down with him. Koreans are definitely not into public displays of affection and so I had to wait till we were home before I could get in that much anticipated kiss.... wow! I don't know how to explain it other to say that he's so intoxicating to me. I love that guy so much!!!
7. After Mi Nam was somewhat successful at destroying Pretty Boy's hat (... sooo bad!) and then attempted to eat a cigarette, it was obvious that Mi Nam was jealous that Pretty Boy was getting my attention and so up on the stair I put him for time out. Mi Nam may be a French bulldog and so he's considered a muscle dog but he's by no means a tough boy. Oh no! He's a super sensitive boy who is afraid of heights and so carrying him up and down the stairs petrifies him. He gets nervous when people pick him up and so sitting him on the second step is huge to him.
8. Finding out that Pretty Boy had gone out late last night caused me to really question whether or not today was important to him. After all, I had been waiting for this day since the minute he left. We ended up getting into an argument in which I ran out of my house and headed up to the 14th floor balcony in tears. There I waited for him. I was not going to go down. I had told myself that I'd wait x number of minutes and there I sat. He came up to get me. We hugged, I cried, and then he took me by the hand and brought me back home. Since I've moved to Korea, I've really noticed just how sensitive I now am, especially with relationships. I think too much sometimes and so I know I need to stop thinking so much and just enjoy it for what it's worth. I know Pretty Boy doesn't honestly mean to upset me but he always knows exactly what to do and what to say to bring me back down on the silly emotional roller coaster I occasionally jump on.
9. I do love Pretty Boy though. Regardless of whatever silly disagreements we may have, I think he's a great guy who I totally adore. I know that we're not exactly on the same page right now in terms of what we want from this relationship but with him, I can wait to see where this goes. I know in my heart he is totally worth it. And so on that note, we sat on the floor and shared our anniversary cake. I made him make a wish and then we blew out the cake candles together. It was such a Kodak moment... hehehe. We even cut the cake together like how they do in wedding ceremonies.
10. By the time I agreed to let Mi Nam off the step, he had worked himself up so much. He was shaking and panting. So, he chugged his water and then passed out for a good couple, solid hours. What a big baby!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Do you have to go?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.
-- Brendan Francis
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Hey Amy,
By the sounds of it, you built up this big meeting and had so much anticipation that, I think, no matter what he did, you would feel as if he didn't miss you........
why do we do this Amy is beyond me....
but it totally reminded me of my White Day and all the expectations I had for Sung Hyun....
So really it's nothing to worry about. Just one of those times when you let your emotions get the best of you.........and you know what......it's gonna happen again and again and again.......love does weird things.
As for you suprising him.....wow so sweet, too bad it didn't work. When I first dated Sung Hyun I remember trying to surprise him at his apt. (just down below) to wish his a good night. Now, back home in Canada this would have been totally romantic but when he found out I came to his house (even thought I didn't enter his apt complex) he got all upset.........yah has something to with, girlfriends not going to their boyfriends house until they are super serious.... anyways, what I thought would be really sweet turned into me getting upset and we both left disappointed.
As for him not rushing off to see you.......keep in mind that he just started his new job, so maybe he was just celebrating with some ppl........had too many drinks and them realized he didn't think far enough in advance that he would be messing up the next day with you. I often wonder if guys think beyond what they will be doing in an hour......keke
Anyways, just really don't worry, don't stress and don't make a big deal about what went down b/w you two. It's foolish to find reasons to fight when you both are sooo in love. So just enjoy your time and know that you just have to do your best to compromise. I am sure he didn't want to hurt you so it probably broke his little heart to see you so upset.
Your a great girl and he realizes it....so have fun.
Jennifer
ps. the other day when i was walking to the work the hospital guard had told be that i was getting 'fatter.....' yikes.....gotta love their honesty!!!
sorry, not too much time for a real in depth comment, but im curious (if its not too nosey) what do you guys want out of the relationship? you said its different between you two. just curious because it kinda stuck out to me.
-much luv,
bram
Yo Jenn,
I hear ya, I hear ya... I agree. Us gals tend to think too much into things and tend to get ourselves worked up over nothing.
I know I hyped up the day and so maybe that put a little too much pressure on it. I know next time it'll be better. It was so awesome to see him though.
He had been celebrating Adult Day with a co-worker the night before. I guess I should have taken into consideration the fact that this is a new job for him and so, given the Korean culture, he can't really refuse to go out with the co-workers. It'd be a little rude to say no to them.
Anyways, he came but now he's gone again. Hmm..... I miss him!
As for that security gaurd telling you that comment... need me to punch him out? I can do that! Hehehe...
The other day someone told me that I had a big butt and, in my mind I thought, "Listen there sweetie... this comment coming from a person who's country, 90% of the population lacks this vital body part!!!" .... I like my bum. You should like your curves too. Our curves are kicking.... and they'll kick haters to the curb!
Hehehehe.... so cheesy, I know.
Hey Bram,
No,... it's not too nosey.
As for my statement about us wanting different things out of the relationship, I was referring to the fact that I consider myself to be a successful young woman. I'm exactly where I want to be in life. I have the awesome job, the house, the dog, but I'm looking to "upgrade" my status and find a partner.
Pretty Boy on the other hand, he's a couple of years younger than me. He's fresh out of university and is looking to find that career job. He's still developing his dreams and so that's his focus right now.
I've already figrued my stuff out and so I'm just waiting for him to get to the spot where I am... where he is stable with his job and can focus on a relationship. I respect him doing what he has to do cause he's worth it to me.
Does that answer your question?
