Highlights of my Day... Thursday, July 19

1. Today it was rainy and gloomy… how appropriate for the uncomfortable thoughts and mood I was sporting today.

2. Started my day off with an early morning tea time with the Cheonan Trump. He had been golfing in the rain this morning and so he wasn’t very successful with trying to persuade me to come join him next time he goes golfing. He's hardcore into his golfing.

3. Hit the gym with out my partner in crime… Hannah. I thought I’d work out with the big boys today but, as it turns out, no one was really at the gym. No Buff Boy, no Newbie… even Old Man Smiles wasn’t there. I had the gym all to myself… sweet! Convinced the new girl at the front desk to crank the tunes. Cool.

4. I seriously think I’m dying of boredom this summer and so, in anticipation of preventing this from happening during my winter break, I messaged Wonder Woman and told her to count me in on Thailand for January. Nothing but beach, ocean, overdosing on fresh pineapples and endless market shopping for two weeks with the rebellious, but ultra sweet, Wonder Woman sounds so perfect! I can smell the beach already... oh ya!!!

5. Met up with Ki Dong for dinner and a movie tonight. He brought along a fellow Dankook coworker, Ellie. She’s a super nice Korean lady who I’ve never met before but really clicked with today. She got my stamp of approval when she took a crack at Ki Dong... hehehe. I'm always up for a good dose of sarcasim!

6. Met the notorious ex… Ki Dong’s ex that is. In addition to this girl totally ripping his heart out after 5 years of being together so that she can “explore” some other guy, she now has the nerve to ask for Ki Dong back. I’ve had endless conversations about her with Ki Dong. She was his first and only love. Today I finally got to meet her. She was nothing like I imagined and honestly, after, although I felt bad for her cause I’m sure she knows we all know about her and so was obviously super uncomfortable, I couldn’t help but think, good for her… she deserves to feel uncomfortable. What goes around comes around cookie! As they say, “Karma’s a b&#$h!”

7. Had dinner at the very cool Hong Kong restaurant that over looks downtown. We chowed down on Chinese food and shared some juicy stories. Ki Dong and Ellie gave me the low down on dating Korean men and so that was quite funny. I totally trust Ki Dong and I’m always up for advice from him. It’s fair to say that he’s always got something “interesting” to say. So at dinner I sat down and spilled my beans about my current situation. He doesn’t approve of you-know-who. Neither did Ellie. They both think that I’m being played for a typical Western girl.

8. Top two Western girl stereotypes in Korea:
a. If you’re pretty and white, well then, you must be a Russian prostitute.
b. Western girls are easy.

9. Hannah, Jae Min and Jae Min’s friend all joined up with the three of us after dinner for a movie. We had plans to go see “Die Hard 4.0”. Awesome movie! It was by far the movie of the summer!

10. I remember when the first three Die Hard movies came out, back in the day. My brothers and I tried to sit down and count how many people got killed in the movie. I know it sounds kind of morbid but trust me, watch the movie. It’s non-stop, butt-kicking, bad guy popping, action. And so, I tried to count the number of deaths, too hard. Gave up after, I don’t know, about a 100… just jokes. Hehehe.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Are you feeling lucky?
