Highlights of my Day... Wednesday, January 30

1. Korean language class was a bit brutal today on account that I was super tired and my right hand ached when I try to hold my pencil. I had studied the grammar really hard but when asked simple questions that I knew I could handle, I stumbled… ahhhh. Silly mistakes.

2. After tutoring I met up with Mr. Incredible. He swung by the bus terminal to pick me up in his ultra pimped-out black town car that was super shinny and smelling of major hunkiness… hehehe, is that such a word?! Anyways, he was on his lunch break and so he was dressed to the max. He looked like he had just walked out of a GQ magazine with his hair slicked, old skool police glasses and crisp black suit.

3. Mr. Incredible is one of the bodyguards for the president of Seoul’s massively tall 63 Building and so we swung by his office for lunch and a quick tour of the 63 Building. Wow… awesome! Inside the building there’s an IMAX theatre, stores, restaurants, offices (obviously)… and a Sea World!!!

4. At one point, Mr. Incredible turned to me and said, “Amy, I so curious. Why you no boyfriend?” Me, no boyfriend?! Oh gosh… that’s not true and I am very proud of that. My boyfriend rocks. Sure my boyfriend doesn’t roll up in a car that probably costs more than my house, he doesn’t smell like the newest CK cologne, and he doesn’t wear suits. Instead, my boyfriend picks me up in his truck that's no fancier than the teddy bear t-shirts he wears, he wears scented body lotion from the Body Shop, and I don’t even think he owns a suit. But you know what, I trust him and I know his heart. With Q there is no guessing; he wears his honest heart on his sleave for me. And, no sooner had I told Mr. Incredible that, his tone changed. Mr. Incredible didn’t seem so incredible anymore and I wanted nothing more than to see Q walk through the restaurant doors.

5. Today was a nice change from my boring, predictable routine that’s been filling my holidays but it was nice when Junior Mint texted me, asking me to come home safe and come into training.

6. My lunch was definitely a cheat meal. I let Mr. Incredible ordered for us and he chose army soup, fish and rice. I tried to stick to the boiled egg side dish but did allow myself some army soup and definitely enjoyed eating some rice… yummy carbs! Mind ya, on my way home I felt so guilty. My weight has really been changing a lot this week. The pounds have been finally shedding and so I was hoping today I would continue this downward spiralling of my weight. And so on that note, I downed about 2 liters of water to try to flush my system before training... and it worked!!! Today I am lighter than yesterday. My diet is working… Halleluiah!!!

7. Gotta love kids, especially the random little kids that occasionally workout at my boxing club. Today I met this pudgy little, rosy-cheeked, girl named Je Hun who was working out with brother. She is about 7, maybe, and he looked about 9. Anyways, Junior Mint asked her if I was pretty and she giggled, so I thought it funny to give her a little kick in the bum. I guess pretending to eat her head was what really started her interest in me though cause for the next hour or so, she sat and watched me train. She was all smiles though when I let her try on my gloves. They reached way past her elbows… hehehe.

8. I trained late today, not something I want to keep up though cause training started around 8pm but ended after 11pm and left me bursting with energy! Mind ya, training late means I get to train with Black Skinny and Panty Boy Jr. so that was pretty awesome. For a good while, we were the only ones in the club and so I was totally pumped about our fights. My punches were extra hard tonight, extra fast and I went solid for a good couple of hours. Have the swollen knuckle to prove it too… yikes!

9. The other day Junior Mint ordered me a “dam-bok” (it’s like a plastic sweat-inducing shirt) and today it arrived. Wow… talk about sweat, nasty! After training I changed into a clean sweatshirt and literally rung out the sweat from my dam-bok and 2 undershirts.

10. After training, Junior Mint and I hopped in his car and we went out for a quick bit to eat. He kept on saying that I was his “haeng eun”. He spelt it out for me in Korean but I didn’t know what it meant. Upon returning home, he texted me thank you. I looked up the word haeng eun, it means “a stroke of good fortune; good luck; a lucky break”… wow, that’s awesome!!!

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Who is your "haeng eun"?
