Highlights of my Day... Friday, July 27

1. Woke up to a surprise visit at my apartment door. All squinty-eyed and sporting mad bed head (not to mention I'm sure some killer breath... hehe), I opened the door and there stood the postal man. The other day I had allowed myself a little birthday splurge on the La Senza website... a couple days later (today), they showed up!!!

2. Never have I ever been so excited over underwear like I was today... I was like a kid in the candy store.

3. Dyed my hair today... and apparently the towel, my shirt, gave Mi Nam an accidental dab, and gave myself a new freckle on my shoulder too... oops!

4. Ahhh facebook... I'm addicted. I truly do love and appreciate how it's reunited me with my childhood friends. We all have so many stories. Let's see.... there's the high school sweethearts who got married and proved skeptics wrong, the geek that made his success and now signs the paychecks for other classmates, "Ms. Full-of-herself" who clearly got surgery and now is "Mrs. SO-Full-of-herself", and then there's some of us ugly ducklings who turned into swans and flew away, while Ms. Popular and Ms. Pretty aren't so hot anymore.

5. Have you ever had an idea that you thought was really good at the time and you though, hey, what the heck... let's do it?! Ya... that was my evening.

6. Rushed off to grab the bus to Seoul, but before I went, I almost had it out with this old Korean woman who was 5 seconds away from having me go buck-style on her.... see the video.

7. Headed off to Seoul to see a friend... a friend of a friend... well, not exactly. Anyways, I had told myself not to get involved and ask questions but I did exactly that. I think I've really screwed myself on this one and honestly, I don't even know why I did it. I wouldn't say I regret it but I know that it definitely pushed the limit. No regrets though... what's done is done and if anything, I had a great evening with an intelligent and well-spoken guy.

8. Regardless of the uncomfortable initial conversation, we did have a good time. We headed out to a park where we sat down, chatted up a storm and nibbled on some fruit.... and made fun of the ajumma's (old women) and their same-style hair... hehehe.

9. Terrible fact of the day: In Korea, every day one soldier commits suicide.

10. As if it wasn't hot enough, we then had to race back from the park to get me a Cheonan bus ticket. With only about 40 minutes, we had just left the park, still had to catch the subway, reach the bus terminal, and then hope there was still a ticket left. As luck would have it, we made it. And even after I rushed off to the bathroom, we still had 2 minutes to spare... sweet!

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.
