2. Happily picked up a bag of oatmeal… sweet! Then it was off to pick up some groceries.
3. Cooked up a couple of mean cups of coffee, and yes, I said “cooked”. Coffee is a sacred thing here at Ggum Guum and we have tons of it, along with tea and hot chocolate, in our house (check out the list below). It consists of using milk instead of water and mixing a selection of coffees with things like cacao, cinnamon, pieces of candy cane or whatever. I once even threw in a spoonful of peanut butter into a cup of coffee. It wasn’t the best of coffees but it wasn’t so bad.
4. Korea definitely got noticed today when Kim Yu Na, known as “Queen Yu Na” here in Korea, scored a much deserved gold medal and left her main competitor, a girl from Japan, with quite the tough act to follow. I loved the end of Yu Na’s performance when she got teary-eyed. She knew she had given it her all and for a girl but only 19 years of age and with so much passion for skating, the gold was clearly hers for the taking. Congrats to her!!!COFFEE

5. As Paris Hilton would say, “That’s hot!” Did you see the hot pink uniform for the Ukraine and Bulgaria’s uniform for the doubles figure skating?! Wow!!! And what was with France’s uniform?! The female partner looked like she only had a splash of sparkles covering her “sisters”.
6. Thought another earth quake happened. Last Sunday around 9:15pm while Snickers and I were chilling out on the floor, our giggling came to a stop when we literally felt the building shake and heard a huge rumble. It was an earth quake but because it only registered at 3.0 it didn’t hit the news. Turns out tonight’s big rumble was the neighbors moving furniture.
7. Convinced Snickers to go training with me at my boxing club. I knew a good chat between Junior Mint and him would do him good. After training, the two of them decided to go out for a drink together. I was invited but thought it best for them to have a serious chat about Snickers’ boxing career. Junior Mint is one of the managers that Snickers is considering.
8. Met up with Cat for coffee and chatting.
9. Had quite a strange situation unfold outside my house when I returned after midnight from coffee with Cat. It involved me being followed by some random middle aged woman. I was taken a bit off guard when she started to follow me and then continued to follow me to my building’s doorstep. The front doors to my building were locked, so I reached for my keys to unlock the doors but when I turned there right behind me was that woman. I ended up having to confront her and tell her to leave. She tried to play it off that she lived in my building but with only two other families in my building, I know who lives here. Next thing I knew it, I was arguing with her in Korean and telling her that if she didn’t leave my building than I would literally kick her out. There was an intense stare down and then she left. I have no idea what that was all about!
10. My heart skipped a beat and I instantly felt sick tonight when Junior Mint and Snickers thought they’d play a mean trick on me. I had told Junior Mint to not push Snickers into drinking not only because he doesn’t drink and can’t hold his alchol but because he had to drive home. Well, around 12:30am Junior Mint thought it’d be funny to call me and ask me where Snickers was. Instantly I felt a wave of panic and so while I kept the conversation going and drilled him with questions I got my jacket and boots on. I didn’t know where I’d start looking for him but I felt I had to do something. No sooner had I grabbed my keys to head out the door but Snickers came on the line. They both thought it was so funny. He didn’t think it funny of me to hang up but it served him right. Apology text messages immediately followed and then a little bit later an apologetic Snickers showed up at Ggum Guum. Unfortunately for him, the main doors to our building were locked and I wasn't about to unlock them. I wasn't so angry but he's too carefree with things that he shouldn't be and he can't be pulling stunts like this. He ended up sleeping at a friends’.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How tough is your tough love?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
