Note to all my "hyper" readers,2. While Q continued to delightfully dine on dangerously delicious delights and continued to gaily gallivant and schmooze with family and friends, I was stuck here gnawing down on my blah boiled chicken and raw veggies. Dang... I really need to learn how to cook. I tell ya though, sometimes I really wish I believed in reincarnation. I'd wish to come back as an obese man... hahaha. Eat all I want and pee standing up.
This WAS a joke. Apparently some of you lost your sense of humour during the Christmas holidays, I see. And for the record, I probably know more about the Korean culture than you do but what's really sad is that I can't even make an INSIDE joke about something my friends noted the other day without people jumping on my back and getting all "hyper" about it. So relax. But know this, no one ever asked you to read my homepage... remember that!!!
3. For the most part, Mi Nam has always hoarded and gobbled down his food. For goodness sake, when he was a puppy, I occasionally caught him sleeping with his head in his food dish. But the past two days he hasn't eaten. Not too sure what Mi Nam's trying to prove with his whole "I-don't-want-to-eat" thing-a-ma-jig he's been pulling but I'm as stubborn as they make us Polish gals and so I refuse to give in to his puppy eyes. "You're not a puppy anymore" I told him. "You're two now. Time to come up with a better trick" ... hahaha.
4. Yesterday I attacked my emails, today I attacked cleaning. Everything and everyone in my house got washed-down; by everyone I'm referring to me and Mi Nam. I vacuumed, dusted, polished, mopped, and even got down on all fours and scrubbed. Boredom tends to push me into clean-freak mode... hahaha.
5. Massive fire in Cheonan and, being the paparazzi that I am, I caught some shots of it. It was miles away but I smelt it, looked up, and saw the mounds of grey smoke filling up the sky... wild.
6. With only two days left till the Cheonan Trump ventures off to the States, without me I should add, he called me into his office today to help him. I don't mind helping him actually, I quite enjoy his company and his jolly cheeks that block out his eyes when he smiles. And I definitely don't mind accepting his "thank you" envelops either. Today I got a particularly big thank you envelop.
7. "What do you want me to bring back for you from the States?" the Cheonan Trump asked me. I paused. For a moment I thought I'd be a cute tease and say "just you" but instead, with such enthusiasm I blurted out "Trident gum"... oh gosh, I'm officially a nob!!!
8. "Trident gum"?!!!.. that was the best I could come up with?!... hahaha. What about mounds of oatmeal by the truckloads, a lifetime subscription to Oxygen Women's Fitness Magazine, a kitchen full of PAM pan spray and an oven, or better yet, a bread maker so that I don't have to go trotting around town to get whole wheat bread, which I must note, I don't even believe is real whole wheat.
9. Q's support with me training like an animal meant he was more than happy to sit and watch me do a cardio hip-hop dance video routine at home... as any guy would probably be happy to do so... hahaha. I bought this cardio video a while back, on the Internet. I tried to show Q how hard it was and was hoping he'd join in. He never did but I was full of energy and so I did the video again for the second time today. It's hard though. They start off super simple and sweet but then they jump to these funky dance moves that have you flailing your arms in the air while you stumble with trying to not step on your own feet.
10. Movie night... cool. Despite not being a huge fan of Tom Cruise, and no it's not cause of his whole mental couch-jumping episode on Oprah, but he's got an ugly cocky attitude and an equally ugly nose. Regardless though, the movie was pretty good. I can't remember the name off the top of my head but it was about Hitler, in which he plays a character who tries to assassin him.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's so funny?

Is the movie called Valkyrie, or something like that? It's his new movie right?
You have to see Slumdog millionaire!! It's a terrific movie. Not sure it will be in theaters there, but you can rent it soon. It's winning all kinds of awards!
Thanks for discovering the "big" tag. It makes skimming your posts really easy.
And how about you call it Lunar New Year. It's not Korea's fault that English-speaking countries latched onto China.
The Lunar New Year, Korean 설날, is not a "Chinese" holiday as you imply. It is celebrated throughout East Asia. The fact that we call it "Chinese New Year" in English simply attests to our own cultural ignorance.
What's sad is that you LIVE in Korea and don't know this.
hehe....I was gunna make a note about the fact that Koreans don't call it "chinese new year" or Chinkook Nal....but rather Sollal or Lunar (moon) new year.
It is Lunar New Year, celebrated throughout Asia. It is not an excuse to have a free holiday. I kinda hope you were joking...
You're not coming to the states?
=(
She was joking, that's the thing. Holy crap. People need to relax and read her writing, not just jump the gun on things. If you noticed, she posted it started off with "I'm confused". Wow. Talk about people being totally out of context here.
I don't think anybody was berating her....but it didn't seem like a joke in the post. I am a cool headed blog reader. I don't get bent out of shape about the things I read on blogs but it didn't have the context of a joke to me. In fact, you see in my comment that I wrote that I hoped it was a joke because if it wasn't, well that would have been very sad. It's a blog, we read, we comment. Sometimes nice, sometimes not so nice. In my case, almost always nice. I would rather bring insight to someone's posts by being honest but not mean. That doesn't mean that I don't tell it like it is when the situation is called for.
We already know we don't have to read your blog. You don't have to keep reminding us of that just because someone says something that you don't like.
Marc (who now speaks for Amy and sort of tells us her secrets), how does "I'm confused" make it a joke? It just makes her...confused.
Marc needs to stop explaining everything because half of the time he doesn't know what he's talking about. Amy was NOT joking in her post. You don't need to try and make her sound better. She was confused and some people set her straight. Sorry that it bothered you, Marc, but she made a mistake. And honestly, if I were Amy, I'm not sure I would be too happy with a "friend" who feels entitled to spill the secrets she herself didn't want to share.
