1. Late in the evening last night I had a mad craving for a good old Western breakfast. I had planned to meet up with the American Kid bright and early today, after he finished work, at 8:30am.
2. Woke up to the American Kid's text message, "Are you still coming?" (8am). Oh gosh... I had slept in. Rushed off to Songtan and not only did I miss meeting up with him but the restaurant was closed. I was an hour late for the American Kid but over an hour early for breakfast.
3. Waited it out... they serve a killer Western breakfast ...bacon, ham, hash browns, eggs, tomatoes, salad, toast, and coffee. I haven't had a good Western breakfast since Mr. Smooth-Move bought out GS 25 and bedazzled me with a breakfast surely fit to feed a king.... that, and the whole Osan Air Force Base... hehehe.
4. I should have known that in a city infested with "Juices", wild bars and American Air Force, that everyone sleeps in and basically nothing is open before 10am... go figure, eh?! Even my cute little Video Rock Star wasn't at work which leads me to the fact that I HAD to cheat on him... hehehe.
5. Every time I visit Songtan I pick up some DVDs. The Video Rock Star wasn't there and so I left a note on his door and then ventured over to another DVD store where I bought some more "Sex and the City" and a new DVD. It was titled "L Word" and so I thought the l-word meant "love"... nope, wrong... so wrong. Came home, popped in the DVD and was shocked to find out that the l-word meant "lesbian". I can't watch this, no thanks.
6. Hit the gym with Hannah. Had a friendly sit-up competition and apparently Buff Boy and Newbie thought it'd be funny to take pictures of us with their cell phones as we killed ourselves trying to out crunch each other. I won.
7. After the gym, Hannah and I went shopping at Yawoori for a bit. We walked in holding hands like typical Korean school girls and were singing away to tunes on my MP3 player. Hannah had to get some pants exchanged and so I scoped out the latest Anna Sui purses.... so pretty. There's a purse there that I'm in love with, mind ya, with a price tag of $349, it's an expensive love that I'll continue to resist and just admire from a distance.
8. Lately I've been on a really weird diet, not intentionally though. For almost 2 weeks now, I haven't really ate any cooked food. Besides eating chumchi kimbab like it's going out of style, I've been loading up on sushi, raw veggies and lots of fruit... and I haven't felt better!
9. Am convinced Mi Nam is the best my "better half" will ever get... wow. We've been spending so much time together this summer... cuddling on the couch, walks in the park, soccer in the courtyard, coffee runs together.... he's awesome. Tonight we ate sushi together. I let him have my soup (it's cooked).
10. Ending this day by saying sorry to the American Kid. Turns out he doesn't like my nickname for him and so I'm officially changing it to The Yanky... hehehe. Hey, he is from New York so it's quite appropriate -- New York Yankies.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's my nickname?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
-- Christopher Morley
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.

i think your nickname should be Ms.Cookie or T-Cookie or something...anyway...L-Word??? how coudl you not watch that! i admit nothing in comparison to Sex and the City but it isnt that bad, and just because its lesbian related doesnt mean you gotta be a hater lol
-bman
Hey Bman,
Thanks but why Ms.Cookie or T-Cookie... what's with the cookie and/or the T???
As for "The L Word", I ended up watching it a bit on Thursday night, I gave in. You're right it's NOTHING compared to "Sex and the City" and honestly, I thought it was just flat out cheap. Everyone's cheating, having hopeless relationships,.. etc.,etc. It really had no substance to it and I'm sure the only thing that kept that show alive was the fact that they threw in some hot chicks, only a couple though, and made them kiss. Besides that, it's just nonscense.
And yes, it is pretty bad. The writer for the show is brutal.
Now "Sex and the City", I love the writer's style for the show. He has the main character, Carrie, do various monologues through out the show. All 4 women have their separately different lives and lifestyles and yet they share this strong friendship which ties them together. The writer uses the restuarant as one of the main places to draw them together and where they catch each other up on their own personal plots.
I'm all about his style... very creative.
"The L-Word"... no style!
