1. Wow, talk about a drop in the temperature!!! Last week I could simply sport a light sweater, if that, but today I had to wear my winter jacket... burrrr!!! Still warmer than Canada though... hehehe.
2. At exactly 12:50pm, all but 4 students in my class got up and left, just 40 minutes after the class had started. They left for their M.T. As for the remaining 4 students, they were visiting from another class.
3. Sometimes I feel more like an older sister to many of my students. Today's first class for me is just that, me being an older sister. There's the girl who chats to me about her first date with a Dankook senior, the boy who emails me all about what he's up to, another who always asks for random advice, a girl that sticks around after class to have "girl talk", and a whole wack of them who scream my name whenever they see me... hehehe. And so, when they all left and filed outside to await the bus, I kept on glancing down at them during my next class. Every time one of them spotted me, they'd jump up and wave at me. They're so cute, seriously!!!
4. Tuesdays are always high energy days at school for me... the students, being able to sleep in, no morning traffic, the big windows in my classroom... I guess it's not just one thing that does it for me on Tuesdays but a whole colleague of things. Tuesdays always feel great.
5. My high energy for the day ended pretty much when my class did and so I headed to training knowing full well that I was slowly slipping into lazy mode.
6. And yup, sure enough, my energy source ran dry by the time pad work had finished. I had skipped breakfast today and well, in my world of excess training and running around like a chicken with her head cut off in stiletto shoes, skipping one of my meals is definitely a n0-no.
7. Junior Mint thought he'd help me out by giving me a mean, mean shoulder and neck massage but it only served to leave me feeling like I was jello and ready to pass out.
8. Always hate getting my hair cut and dyed for the very fact that given the language barrier that restricts me from really explaining what I want, I have come to turns with letting my hair dresser to do as she pleases with my head of hair. And so I, with eyes closed and hands clasped together, I hope for the best and then open my eyes to see the results. Today's result, dark chocolate coloured hair with shorter bangs and my layers fixed up. Looks good!
9. Finished up my Korean language homework and then surfed the web for way too long. Today I read about people suffering from an addiction called "webaholic" and so it got me thinking, could they be talking about me?! Let's see, I use to be a "chickenaholic" until I developed a freakishly weird allergy to chicken that only affects my nose. I was an "ice creamaholic" growing up but it killing my waistline and killing my training made me successfully recover from that. I also was a "MacIntosh toffeeholic" but got over that addiction when I moved to a country (Korea) that had no MacIntosh toffee and so that was rough going cold turkey.
10. As for my present day addictions, I'd have to say that I am a "banana milkaholic". I usually have one banana milk a day. I'm also a "lip gloss junkie" in that I probably buy one lip gloss a week. Unfortunately I am also turning into a "name brand junkie" and so my lip gloss addiction has gone from the $3 Misha lip glosses to the $20 MAC and $30 Doir lip glosses. I think my mom is to blame... hehehe. She use to sell Avon and so I had easy access. She was my "hook up" and still to this day she hooks me up... she mails it to me... hehehe!!!
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Why is it drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...

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.

Oh, the addictions! I have many, but one you may be able to relate to (because of your lip gloss addiction) is my Korean liquid eye liner addiction. I am hooked on that stuff. My husband brought me back one from Korea. The eye liner container is shiny and has a "diamond" on the top--the most beautiful eye liner container I've ever seen. I just sighed and said, "Korean makeup rocks". :)
Dear Beloved,
Hehehe... I hear ya about the liquid eyeliner. Have you ever seen the sparkly liquid eye liner? I usually stick to my black eye liner, it makes me look more Asian with mysterious eyes. Sometimes I switch it up though and use the sparkly one. It really looks pretty.
Do you have a sparkly one? I could send you one.
Ooh~~sparkly eyeliner? I wish I'd told my husband to look for some. I am probably too old to wear anything sparkly, but if you're up to sending one, let me know and tell me what I can send you in return! Some Lucky Charms, perhaps? :)
