  • doesn't it seem like all koreans can be stereotyped as a stuckup/upper middle class/small business owner/jesus freak ... s'what i thought till i came here ... it's like all the ppl that would fall into that category ran off and immigrated and the leftovers stayed behind ... ya get all kinds, all kinds


    neways, getting ready to head home soon ... i was thinking whether or not korea has changed me at all ... i recycle now !!!

  • much like how japanese people can't pronouce 2 consonants in one syllable, or how cuban people can't pronouce the sound, korean people can't pronounce the z, f and si sounds ... z comes out at j, f comes out as p, and si comes out as shi ... so u can only imagine what hearing my students say: i am sitting next to the table, i am sitting beside my mother, and i have been sitting here for an hour sounds like >_<

  • seeing as how i dont have a pc at home, ive been going to this internet cafe just beside my apt ... doesn't matter what time of day u go to this place, the same 2 guys are always working there ... s'like some freaky oompa loompa sh*t ... when do they eat? ... when do they sleep?

  • it's my 1 year anniversary since starting xanga ... it's my xanga birthday ... my xarthday -_-;;; ... a year of me b*tching and complaining about life and stuffs =P ... i wanted to post something uplifting and inspiring for the occasion but O_o ... pet peeves it is!


    if there's one thing i hate it's people that are always happy/bouncy/cheerful ... they confuse me ... they scare me ... it'd be a lie if i said i wasn't a little envious of them though ... they're like those bamboo plants that you put into a vase and just grow out of nothing ... what exactly is it that they feed off of?


    i had to teach the difference between mr., mrs., miss and ms. in my beginner's class yesterday ... people who wanna be called ms. are so annoying ... ms. ... the transvestite of titles ... dragqueens can't pick a gender, ms.'s can't pick a marital status ... how hard could it be


    i hate the type of person that says the same thing after every 5 mins because they heard sometime, somewhere that it was cool ... werd? yo? woot? booyah? werd rhymes with turd and wth is booyah ... there is something wrong with slang that is unrhymeable ... these people would say nashipsaeya every 5 mins if someone told them it was latest slang heh


    i hate the amount of anti-americanism in this country ... if it wasn't for america, there wouldn't even be a south korean republic ... maybe its cause the country, as a whole, rips off too much american stuff ... the national emergency helpline is "119" ... information is "114" ... the korean equivalent to the white house is called, "the blue house" ... ingrates ... copycats lol -_-;;


    i hate how chinese people always gotta whine about how they came up with everything first ... spaghetti, paper, ramen, aladdin?? ... who gives a sh*t


    i hate the type of guy who's always b*tching about how intelligent women are so hard to find these days when what he really wants to say is,  i think im s-m-r-t and the only way i can subtly say so is by saying, i want an intelligent chick

  • jesus p. christ, is it cold ... today is officially the coldest day of my entire life ... i know i said that last week and the week before, but i sh*t u not ... u know how i used to say how i liked colder weather better than hot ... well s'cause i was really cold before -_-;;;


    was thinking of bumping my return date a month later to feb 20th or so but when i called my dad and and told him so he gave me the third degree -_-;;; started off something like ... march, january, and now february?? why can't you ever make your mind up about anything?? NO!! ... and finished off something like ... now that you've been in korea for a while, your thinking has probably changed - when you come back to vancouver, you're not going to party anymore, right?? ... chiiiyaaaright nice one dad lol


    too lazy to buy or send any christmas cards, so ill post my christmas greetings here on xanga heh =)~ merry christmas wishes to everybody alive in the wide world

  • less than a month left before i'm outta this country ... i was just getting settled in too ... i never write about anything remotely personal on here, but i have to say ... i am thoroughly happy about leaving ... the isolation is making me uptight and untalkative ... teaching english has been fun sometimes but mostly f*cking annoying ... especially the one on one conversation hours ... students drowning me with their problems using their pitifully broken english ... i give them my do i looking like your bloody psychiatrist u freak look but it never seems to work ... maybe the korean facial expression for dilybpuf is different -_-;;; ... can't lie, hasn't all been bad ... made some great friends here and the whole learning about my background thing has been interesting i guess ... miss the girls!!! waaaaa roadtrip to cali when i get back?!?!?!

  • i hate my boss 18°³»õ ... oops did i say that ... im debating on whether or not to just get out of this country and go back home to where i belong ... im feening for white people ... they're so simple and easy-going ... there should be a white people zoo or something ... with like different cages of those people that u can only see in north america ... there could be a trailer trash exhibit, a hot-kniving pothead exhibit, a crossdressing cakeboy exhibit ... well, u get the idea -_-;; ... the white people living in korea are definately of a different breed ... so freakin white ... like albinos ... mostly males with yellow fever that could never in a million years get laid back in america ... the ones that wear their pants a touch too high at the waist ... the ones that wear their glasses a touch too low on their face etcetc ... whities ... what is up with the love/hate relationship i have with this race o_O

  • my road to fobhood has begun [?!] ... i dreamt i won 300,000 won - not dollars wtf


    i wish i could write about anything i wanted to on here but my modest xanga audience has come to include people like relatives and co-workers ... after my aunt asked me to translate trip out into korean, i've had to censor my entries a little bit lol =P~ and for the record, it means travelling abroad


    thinking about spending my first christmas/birthday alone is giving me the blues already ... but all's well since my boss informed me i'll be working 9 to 9 on christmas eve as well as boxing day -_-;; it's early but nebody got nething special planned for the holidays?


    thanks to grace and stan for the packages =D~ u guys are the BEST
