Chalgayo

medium_owen.jpgLast 21 February, the Giordano family as I fondly call them left Korea for good. My friend O and her family decided to move back to the Philippines and just conduct their business from there. For a while, I was in total chaos. The mere thought that they are not around anymore to guide, support and protect scares the hell out of me. Days prior to their departure, a part of me still won't accept that they are leaving; I was in total denial and utterly depressed. It took me a while to accept the fact that it's about time I stand on my own feet, do the things I have to do on my own, without relying on someone else to ease out things.

I know that it was a hard choice for them to do. It wasn't easy. And it wasn't a paltry effort either to face the coming days without the O I could call anytime I want to help me get out in certain cheesy situations I always manage myself to land into.  

I wanted to drown myself more in the puddle of dysporia yet deep inside I know there's a grand reason behind it all. It was God who orchestrated the move of O and her family back to the Philippines; that thought alone gives me tremendous comfort. They're still much around anyway, although this time, it's gonna cost me more calling them just to ask how to get rid of psycho stalkers. 

I have the BF who always makes sure I'm okay plus the family back home who always push me to keep going whenever the going gets tough. Everything will  be alright -- that am sure. Even if it means I now should start pretending to be mute and deaf when dealing with Koreans who speak in tongues... especially my landlord. Arrgghhhh!!!

From hereon, it's going to be an arduous journey in this foreign soil I now claim as my second home. Already, I feel like am walking with one foot... but I know I will make it. I know that with the Mighty Provider above me, all things are possible. 

I'll  make it home, too... soon.

Happy Year of the Pig!

새 헤 복 마니 바두새요! Se hae bok mani paduseyo! Happy New Year everyone!

Koreans celebrated the Seol Nal by visiting their ancestors to give respect; I embrace the turn of the year by laughing  my ass off. Here, as a special treat, I bring you this video-- a parody of James Blunt's monumental song. Enjoy!

A Teacher's Nightmare

If anyone among the bratty Korean kids I am teaching give me this kind of crap-- I guarantee you people, I am sooo going to book myself personally in the Korean National Correctional. They are soooo going to fly out of the window.

Paparazzo Sicko

pp

I am no celebrity but recently I found out that someone is actually stalking us in myspace. I can't understand it. And sad to say, I responded in a way a normal non-celebrity person like me would do: freak out. As a result, I deleted myspace and other online life to hide from the prying eyes of this person who has nothing productive to do with its life; it had to unnecessarily torment ours.

I know, I should have not reacted. So inferior of me. I should have not let myself got affected. I should have not succumbed to this person’s constant  henpecking. I should have not dwelt on it, as it only gives this entity the power to unleash it’s evil claws even more.

I simply want to exist normally. I don't need someone tracking what I do for my boyfriend, much more make fun of it. Being far from him is hard enough. I have no need for much drama. I don't want to be the subject of somebody else's constant poking just as to amuse itself. Any self-respecting person would never subject our relationship to perpetual snooking. Who in their right mind would do such a thing? Are the words BACK OFF hard to understand?

The good side of this hoopla is that my man's there all the time, making things alright. He told me to just ignore everything. We should focus more on our relationship and nothing else. Other people may blow their lives off for all they want, they can never shake his love. Isn't that sweetness?

Those friends who are always there to lighten things up-- no words of appreciation can ever describe what I have for you. May God bless each and every one of  you. Your friendship and full support for whatever endeavor he and I undertake mean a lot.

As for you... I wish you well. I pray to God to enlighten you. I also pray that He grants me the wisdom to understand you more.
