Tiring day

2009-03-27T10:47:00.001-07:00

It's been a hell of the week. Monday we heard Raul's departure...house is full till next Thursday, garage reno hasn't finished, lack of parking for groups...etc.
Yesterday was a hellish day started with shouting guest.
Today was not as better with call from Cyril of parking issue.
What do you want me to do about it?
I cannot squat down and sh*t out parking spaces....when I don't have it, I don't have it.
Which part of I don't have it did you not understand?
But as usual, I am surrounded with idgits, sucking their thumbs and scratching their butts.
Do I have to do everything???

one week

2009-03-12T10:46:00.000-07:00

One week without Mike is a bit difficult.
I don't have anybody bringing me a cup of coffee in the morning.
Nobody to turn on my car to be warmed....
I have to change the sheets on the bed but nobody to tuck the sheets in for me...
How inconvenient!
Am I that spoiled???
Yes...yes, I am.

Friday

2009-03-06T05:43:00.000-08:00

Snow is melting and temp rised to 40 this morning. Good weather to get sick!
What a beautiful day it would be and weekend will be gorgeous!
I am totally looking forward to it.

Snow Day

2009-03-02T10:20:00.000-08:00

Early yesterday afternoon, I took the Ambian in hope to get some sleep.
This morning, Mike informed me I slept for 12 hours. I was a bit groggy and dizzy but took a hot shower to wake me up.
I didn't know when it started but it snowed. TV was blasting "we are snowed to death" all over. But it snowed....quiet bit.
They said about 7 inches....
Mike when out to put the car to front of our housing in hope to be able to pull out at ease. Thank god for that thinking.
When I walked out, I was shocked to see how much snow there was.
Yup, if they said 7 inches, I believe it now.
We slowly walked up to the car and get it out of the spot in easy manner.
I was shocked to see the plow already came by and plowed the housing....which never happens.
Of course, me driving is NOT even conceivable so I let Mike drove me to work.
I was totally petrofied. Too scared to look and think. I kept my mouth shut and let Mike drive.
At the hotel driveway, saw John covered in snow but still plowing away....what a good boy.

I dropped my bag off in my office and put on my snow boots and went outside.
Cyril was trying to teach me how to use the plow which I didn't have any problem down hill but I wasn't able to move it up hill. I nearly fall flat on my face. But I had a great time, hanging out with guys.

Later on, I got an e-mail from Mike saying that his car was hit by a plow truck.
I wasn't able to comprehend but more talking revealed that a landscaping company who take care of the Geico parking lot plowed in to an Infiniti which was parked next to Mike's car.
It bothered me that that could happpen to my car at home.
I am glad I didn't drive but what if they plow into my parked car????
I know it's just my paranoia but I hope it doesn't happen to me.

Hotel is slow and quiet. Many cancellations but we are taking in many distress passagers which even out the revenue.

What a great snow day!!!

Why Asian people?

2009-02-27T07:13:00.000-08:00

Feels that just because I am the Asian and I need to help them?
Not because they are qualified, just becasue I am Asian.
That's urks me a lot.

Gateway Laptop

2009-02-25T05:41:00.000-08:00

I still feel the bubble of champagne on tip of my nose for New Year's Day 2009 but the February is almost over already.
Have I don't anything substantial so far? No, I cannot really think of anything.
However I am planning to pay off the Alienware and Overstock this month. And I paid 3000 in back tax for my car.
I still cannot believe they are charging me 2000 dollars a year on tax for my car.
I wish I can get out of it but no...Tax and Death I cannot avoid.

I have very mixed feeling about my new Gateway laptop. I like the look of it. Its slick and in deep burgundy. But it's very heavy and not easily movable for my puny self. I don't like the touch pad. It has some sort of texture which stops me from moving my fingers smoothly. Although it is a larger motherboard than Vaio, I have not yet this was faster.
I played game on it and refresh ratio is NOT noticeable.
Over all, if it wasn't the pricing and the look, I would recommend it to anybody.

Hahahaha....I sound like I am writing and feedback or something...
It's just once in awhile, my brain farts.

It's a hump day and I hope I will get though it quietly and nicely.

It was not easy to get up and come to work like I love to do.
I took Ambian CR last night so I went to bed around 7 and got up at 5. Enough sleep and I should feel great but most oppositly, I am not feeling that great. Perhaps I still have residual medicine in my system.
Weekend was a good one. B-boy went to see his father so the house was all to myself. Friday Elizabeth cleaned the house so I didn't have that much to do.
Saturday, I went to Fort Belvoir and got some unnecessary groceries....cookies..cookies...and odds and ends of nothing. Spent yet another 300 dollars for junk food. Then went to PX and grabbed a few Sheshido' stuff for my face...etc. And I picked up an Laptop from the Best Buy for 730 (tax included, it was 699). It's gateway and nice...this makes 6th laptop in the house.
You may ask why so many?
I don't know. I have not clue why I keep buying the laptops.
Alienware was total waste of money for 3000 dollars, Vaio is running sluggish, Compaque looks yucky...Dell is too big....etc. I make excuse after excuse for why I keep buy laptops...
This one had a good processor and big hard drive. I still want to buy external hard drive for my pictures and stuff.
This is my first Gateway, so we will see. I think what I want to do is buy evey brand and see which one I like the best. So far I had a good luck with Toshiba which I ran it to groud. I might give the Vaio to Stephanie the ungrateful girl.
And I can still play around with my compaque for games.

On Sunday morning, it started snow....heavy at times...and I craved for bagel and lox...so we ran out to Eistiens and got the lox. It was sooooooooooo good.

While we were there, we watched two homeless women in the corner of the restaurant putting on their make up. One looked like she did have some money in her previous life...the other one looks rough.
On our way home...I was glad I wasn't a homeless, yet.

And we watched movie. Put fire in the fire place and watched movies.
X file (the latest one) and The Savages. X file stunk....it stunk so bad, I feel sorry for the name. The Savages was a bit interesting story. Two kids trying to take care of an old and dying father... I really don't want to be somebody's burden when I get old.
I made M. promise that if I get there he will suffocate me with the pillow. I'd rather die.
I truly do.

Sooooooo, when I woke this morning, I was sorry the weekend was over that quickly. I can use another lazy day like yesterday. That was good. I loved it. And I made chilli.

25 trival things about me; 16 down continues

2009-02-12T03:56:00.000-08:00

16. I think I am cute. I used to think I was gorgeous but now I think I am cute.

15. Most of the time, I think I am smarter than other people.

14. Sometimes, I lie but I start believing it and it becomes my reality. I am wondering if my whole life is one big lie.....who am I? Where did I come from??? What happened along the way?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

25 trivial things about me

2009-02-11T03:53:00.000-08:00

I got this idea from Chad. I am going to try to write down 25 trivial things about me that are facts but not been discussed much. I hope I can come up with 25...hehehe

25. I have a fear of choking on a fish bone. I don't know the term of this phobia but I am sure there is one. Because of this phobia, I refuse to eat any fish with bones. I will eat just about any crustation and shell fish but not with bones....I don't remember when I became this way.

24. I miss Korea but don't like Koreans in US. They bother me and rub me in so many wrong ways. They usually tap dancing on top of my reserved nerves when they pretend they like me. I hate that.

23. I have no political view or religious opinion. I realized that world is not mine to worry about or concern enough to have any opinion.

22. I don't feel that I reached my full potential at my age...and fear that I will go to my death bed without reach my potential. Hope I will get a chance to come back and continue.

21. This will freak out a lot of people but....

a. I do believe that Jesus possibly was an alien and do think they used transporter when he

appeared to people out of nowhere.

b. I do believe that bible stories are human encounters with the friendly but an alien specie

that may or may not planted us here on earth. At the beginning they had to watch our

development closely to make sure we survive, so there were physical encounters with

them.

20. I do believe Gene Roddenberry was from the future and tried to gave us the glimpse of hope and what's front of us via Star Trek. I would definitely want to meet him in my next world.

19. I, sometimes, regret leaving the marriage. But most of the time, I like who I became without a husband and will never ever marry another person again. I am very much against marriage even though I pressure Chad to get married.

18. I hate to be late and hate people being late. Tardy is the biggest offense at work in my book, next to stealing.

17. I miss my size 0 body. I hate the current physical condition of me. I hate being fat and don't care for fat people. I vaguely remember what my mother told me when I was young: don't make friends with fat people, woman with thick neck or flat ass. I don't fully understand the logic of my mothers teaching but I don't want to be the one that nobody wants to be friend with...I don't have a thick neck or flat ass...so I don't want to be fat either.

People I don't like

2009-02-10T06:54:00.000-08:00

There is a type of people who understand the fact that people do make mistakes and try to help others get over the mistake so it won't happen again.
Then there is another type of people who sits and waits for somebody to make a mistake so they can pounce like cat over moist food.
I hope I never become the later.

02/09/2009 Long Day

2009-02-09T05:48:00.000-08:00

Unbearable thirst woke me up at 2:44 a.m.

Ran down stairs like a mad woman and grab the corn tea on dining room table.

Gulped it down like I am on Mohave Desert with a few minutes to live.

Came upstairs to bed but sleep was blown, now.

On top of that, I felt the none stop hot fleshes, one after the other.

SOB

2009-02-07T10:28:00.001-08:00

There are some people you just hate without any specific reason.
This person just urks me so many wrong ways.
I cannot stand her. I hate everything about her. We share simple but very minimal pleasantries when it's needed but we tend to avoid each other. Therefore it's safe to say that feeling is mutual.
I just cannot stand anything of her.
Just this morning, she walks in to office with her freaking dog. Ugly one at that. Just like C said, the smell is repulsive, and don't know if it her or the dog.
I heard pet becomes like owner and some even starting to look like each other. This is not an exception. Fat and ugly, both of them are.
I cannot stand her laugh. Because of her and her team's poor performance, our top revenue was dropped over a million dollars...but still she laughs like she has no worry in the world. Her laugh goes right through me like cold water. I found myself clinching when I hear her laugh.
I cannot stand her sitting in front of the boss and kiss his ass all day long. I feel that she should do her job instead of wasting her time kissing ass. Well if it works, it's not waste of time. Evidently it works, since she still has her job. Stupid people.
I know I was taught that I shouldn't hate people. But I just cannot help with this bitch.
Cannot stand her.
If I meet her in a dark ally, I will kick her.
Hahaha...
Yeah, yeah...
If something really do happens to her, they will look at me for saying BS like that.
I don't hate her, just strong dislike.

Tax BS

2009-02-06T04:08:00.000-08:00

I submitted my 2008 income tax returns yesterday and was not bad. It wasn't as much as last year since I have to claim as single (I cannot claim B-boy since he is already 23 hehehe), but substantial enough to pay a few bills off, send little more for my mom and help B-boy's trip to Korea. But that all went away as a dream when I got home yesterday. I received a note from the Virginia Taxation office saying that I owe them 3000 dollars on my M3 for last two years.
My car is registered in Florida to avoid this mess but now they caught up with me.
Damn!
I really don't know what to do and don't really want to pay for it. However if I need to, perhaps I should. Before I make that decision, I will have console with my Palestine Mafia buddies...hehehe.
I really don't want to pay that....3000 is a big money lately and I could have bought something nice for myself or for somebody(really nobody).
They are charging me for the late panelty? What the hell? They just sent me the note and telling me I need to pay for the late panelty???
What a dork!

Lay Offs

2009-02-05T12:56:00.000-08:00

I hate this part of my job.
I had to lay 12 people off today.
I feel like I have a paved road leading directly to hell.
I feel crappy...hate it. I know some will say that's my job and that's what I am getting paid for but I hate this.
I try my best to justify my doings; it's business, it's all about business and how to float it.
Well, it still doesn't make me feel better.
I know people will go home and cry about it.
What would Alemwork tell her five kids tonight?
What would Grace tell her 8 year old son tonight???
What would any of them tell their family tonight?
Then tomorrow...
No purpose to get up and get ready....no place to go.
I wish I can pass this cup from my job.
But I did it.
Right after, I e-mailed Chad of my deep depression. He called me right of way to make sure if I was okay....at least I have one who cares for me.
Plane tickets were purchased today for April.
I want to see the baby. I want to be there when the baby comes.

I still have a life.

Brandon and Jeannie

2009-02-04T05:26:00.000-08:00

Many are interested in there progress of dating.
I can say that they are genuienly concern with their happiness and they want them to be happy...together.
Do I see a future in their relationship?
To early to say and I have no expectation. I want them to be happy whether they are together or not. I want them to be good to each other.
Perhaps we are living our lives through them, perhaps that's why we are so interested and wanted them to be happy.
We want to be happy...we wanted to be happy once...but are we?

It's snowing....and I am already dreading the drive home. Last night we encountered six car pile ups at the exit of Braddock. Took us nearly 30 minutes to get 2 mile stretch of the beltway.
It was painful. Now what. I am sure it's going to get worse that that today if everybody drives like jackasses.
No matter how bad I feel these drivers here in DC area, they cannot be compared with Puerto Rican drivers. The white nuckle gave a whole new meaning to me now.
Elizabeth was bad too.
My goodness. Thank god her reflection was not a bad one. We had near collision several times.

Puerto Rican Escape

2009-02-03T12:50:00.000-08:00

Half way up to Yonque. I was out of breath and my ears were ringing. But at the end, I made it.

Out to fish....but return with none.

Top of the el Yonque...he thought he was cool. The top was cool. Watch the cloud moving in like fog and breeze was so cool and refreshing.

The sunset was to die for.

Brandon pretending to fish...let me tell you...he didn't get nada, nothing, zero...hee

I am baaaaaaaaaaaaaack

2009-02-03T10:21:00.000-08:00

I am home......
It was a fun trip but glad to be back home.
Climbed El Yonque, walked the El Morro and played Miami Vice with the boat.
Ate more than my share of fine food and met the powerful people of Puerto Rico, the women of riches.
Met nice and generouse people who welcomed us with there open arms.
I will upload some pictures from the trip.

Our comedy act

2009-01-28T09:35:00.001-08:00

Sonia, Thomas and me...backstage....

Sonia and me...back stage....

This is our Executive Committee team doing the Live Your Life. It wasn't singing... it was more like comedy act. We made fools of ourselves and employees loved it.

This is me and Errol. We were doing the "Live your Life" our way and we wer supposedly look like thugs.

Snow Day

2009-01-28T09:26:00.000-08:00

I wish I was working for a Bank. I could have called out and took a snow day.
It was an inch or so of snow but everything stopped. This morning when I looked outside, driveway looked as ice skating rink. Shiny and pretty.
My heart came up to my throat.
I was too scared to even think of driving. My god.
Hate this weather. I wish I can go back to Florida.
Good thing is that we are leaving tomorrow morning for Puerto Rico for the weekend.
Elizabeth left this morning from Fort Lauderdale. Chad will arrive on Friday.
I didn't get anything for Eddie's birthday. I will try to find something from the duty free shop before I get on board.
I should get a bottle of nice wine. Don't know what....just a bottle, since they are letting us use their penthouse apartment for our stay.
Ah....my mine wanders when it's cold and crappy like this. I guess this is my way of escape.

I am trying to fix Hailie up for a date and she is not easily pursueded. Well...I am hoping.

Brandon was stressed since he couldn't hang out with Jeannie.

Oh well...just a snow day!

After the Inauguration

2009-01-27T14:36:00.000-08:00

My team worked their asses off the this inauguration. They worked 16-20 hours for four days straight without any complaint.
I am really counting my lucky star to have managers like these. They are the whips for my desire and they made it happen.
Sold the room at $409 each and we dug our heels when they want their stay shorten.
I am taking them to "Ski Roundtop" for snow tubing.
We will call it a team building.
I know Korean People does it alot by going out and drink a lot of soju....but in America, team building is more likely to sit in a meeting room with some sort of boring seminar about how to get along with other...blah blah..
Well, we are going to snow tubing in February, right after I return from Puerto Rico.
Then we may go out for paintballing...hahaha.
I thank them. I appreciate them.
Good managers, I will take them wherever I go.

Bon Chon Chicken

2008-10-28T13:16:00.000-07:00

Best Chicken in the world. I don't like chicken but I can eat this one. I like the spicy ones.

Jeong Dae Gahm Kalbee

2008-10-28T12:41:00.001-07:00

One of our family's favorite restaurant is Jeong Dae Gahm Kalbee house. It is a bit pricy but taste is the best so far around this area. It's around 26 dollars for one person portion and we usually order 5-6 in each visit. They know us and treat us very well as their VIP, which good tip never hurt! And oh, trust me, I tip very generously when good services are rendored.

Most of all, I like this restaurant because all of my kids love it as well. As matter of fact, this is their choice restaurant, espcially Chad and Brandon.

They actually BBQ the ribs on wood coal (Sut Bul) and it makes a lot of difference in taste. I don't particulary care for the popping fireballs but it's fun.

The meat is a good quality, which doesn't have work at it to eat. Service is very good especially when our favorite waitress is in. She always brings us difference but extra side dishes. And we don't have to worry about running out of any side dish, because she will be right there with it before it runs out.

This was a occasion to celebrate Chad's visit. Him and Elizabeth came up for the weekend and when ask which restaurant to go out and eat, of course JDG Kalbee house.

We had a great time. I am sure we will visit again this weekend.

2008-10-28T06:51:00.000-07:00

We live so far a part, it's not easy to get together.
Chad arrived on Thursday with Elizabeth and we were planning to drive down and meet up with Kenny and Joshua for dinner but Brandon was NOT feeling good so we stayed.
Since Joshua forgot his important paperwork for his move including his order, he had to drive up on Sunday.
It was heaven for me.
All three boys for dinner.
I fixed so much food but didn't have time and mind set to take pictures of what I fixed.
Menus were:
고구마 밥
포기김치
깍뚜기
명란젓 무침
콩자반
멸치볶음
오징어 볶음
김치 해물전
무 채나물
김치 찌게
불고기
제육볶음
두부 조림
군 김
chicken cutlet with lemon butter sauce
fried potato with onion

그리고 우리는 소주를 마셨다.

건배!!!!

My blog

2008-10-23T04:02:00.000-07:00

My blog doesn't have a theme.
It's just a blah.
Hodge, podge, blah.
I don't have any political opinion like my child, Chad.
I am not a foodie like some others.
I am not cultured enough to have an opinion about shows, movies...blah, blah...
So what should I use this blog for??
I jot down my feelings which means nothing to anybody.
Do I want to get noticed by other as who I am?
In a way, I do and I don't.
It's really confusing.
I will I was like Beentm, just a foodie, who talks about what she cooked and what she ate.
I don't go to enough variety restaurant for me to write about restaurant critiques.
Aggggggggggggg!

I am so confused and out of touch!
It's not good.
It's not good.

Long while

2008-10-17T05:48:00.000-07:00

It's been a while for me to visit this.
I don't really know what stopped me from daily blogging...but time passed without me.
Joshua is coming home.
Joshua is coming home today.
My little soldier boy...all grown up.
I am so glad he is coming home.
I missed so much.
I want to hug him and kiss him.
I cannot wait.
He will be arriving at the BWI and his bride and Brandon will pick him up.
Wow....time passed.

Review

2008-06-20T11:59:00.000-07:00

When I spoke to Kenny last time, he said he is fixing the house to put it on the market. I knew it was coming but I cannot help that I have mixed emotion about this.
He said the house is too big for him and the cat.
I remember there was a time that house was too small for all of us.
All three boys were running around.
Laughing!
Crying!
Yelling!
Happy times and bad times!
Lives started good there. Along the way we grew apart.
Children grew and I grew up.
In a way, I miss the house. I miss the time.
Worries were so little.
I had a happy life.
Was it my fault??
Perhaps it was.
How sad I get just thinking about the days!
I did so wrong to all.
How can I fix this damaged feelings and sadness that never disappears.
I am sorry, Kenny!
I am sorry, Brandon and Joshua!
I hope someday you will forgive me.

Phone call from Joshua

2008-06-17T10:41:00.000-07:00

Received a call from Joshua on Saturday. Call had static and volume was low...but I was happy. Happy that my baby boy called.
He sounded confident and well adjusted. He said he lost 20 pounds, but from where??? He has no place to lose. He is already a bean pole and cannot afford to lose any more.
He told me to sit under the California flag for him to find us.
I will do that. He is in marching band and said he will be all the way in the back. How can I miss him? He is a head taller than anybody else.
I miss him so much.
I wish I can see him and smell him. I miss his cracking voice.
I miss his raggy shirt.
I miss him.

They look so nice.

Working for the Corporate America

2008-06-17T10:32:00.000-07:00

I shouldn't complaint as long as I have a job. But working for the Corporate America takes some nerves and gut. Time to time, I feel just walking away from it all would be much better for my health.
My job is as interesting as poking a dead squarrell with a stick. Pressure from the top and pressure from the bottom.
I wish I had so much money, I won't have to put up with any of this.

My letter to Joshua 6-16-08

2008-06-17T10:30:00.000-07:00

June 16, 2008

My dearest baby boy,

It was so nice to hear your voice. Brandon kept your voice mail and made me listen to it again. He was very happy you called but upset about not being able to talk to you.
I am glad to hear you are doing well and adjusting to your new environment. I know you could do it. I am very proud of you. I hope you give your best for 4 years and apply for OCS. That would make me very happy.

We had a good visit with Elizabeth’s mother and her sister. They played Wii Fit for a while and we order the Mangino’s pizza. They were happy. I cooked bacons night before and had some to send home with her. She was very happy. Little things make people happy. We went over some household goods. I told her leave everything in the basement and bring whatever you have in your dad’s house to here so all of items are in one area to pack when movers are here. I told her also you can have the bedroom set if you wish. It’s been yours ever since we bought it so you can have it if you like. If you want to buy your own, you can leave it here for your visit. I showed her the duvet and feather pillows and she loved it. I was very happy.

Chad is coming up from Florida on Wednesday for a conference. I may have time to go see him in Baltimore on Thursday and Saturday. We will see. I don’t know what kind of conference this is but I am glad he can travel.

Brandon’s car is in very poor shape. I talked to your dad and he wasn’t aware of the condition it was in. So he asked him to bring it down today, but I am not sure if he is going to do that or not. You know how Brandon is. I woke him up this morning but would he stay up is the question. Your dad told him take your car for a few days while it’s serviced. I hope you are okay with it. You dad mention something wrong with your shocks. Did you know anything about this?? He said he will fix it but I am not sure what he was saying. He needs to make sure your car is fully serviced before Elizabeth takes it down to Texas. I know you discussed it with her so I am not going to press anything but I am so not comfortable about her driving down there alone. She kept saying she will be okay but you know how I am…I worry for the world. I have not yet talked to dad about this and I know he will have his opinion.

Don’t worry. I will make sure it goes well with your dad. I cannot wait to see you. I will be under the flag of California with my camera. I am so excited.

I miss you and love you so very much.

Mom

2008-06-09T05:11:00.000-07:00

I don't know when she started but I can feel that she is expecting a call from me weekly. I enjoy talking with her. I can feel her aging...hard of hearing and fussy.
But I am glad I still have her to talk to. She grounds me.
I was glad to hear my sister filled her freezer with food. I know my mom doesn't like to go grocery shopping.
Where are my stupid brothers and their wives? I am starting to dislike them. They live not too far from mom's but it takes act of congress to stop by and see her. If it was me, I will stop by every day after work to see what's going on with her.
I guess this is the reason why people tells me that boys are no good after they get married?
I am screwed.
I have no daughter to think of me. They will all leave with their wives...like Joshua.
I still have Chad and Brandon....but Chad is a long shot.
We will have to see.
I hope Brandon stays close to me.

My dearest baby boy,

I got a call from Lizzie yesterday morning and heard you are doing okay. I am glad to hear any little new of you. What do you mean you lost 20 pounds? You cannot afford to loose that much. You are already a bean poll. At least you are adjusting to your food and new environment.

I told Brandon to write you and he promised he will. It is so hot, its code red already. It’s not yet 8 in the morning but the temperature already hit 80. I am sure it is going to be a stifling day. I am sure San Antonio is not a cake walk either. I hope you are drinking plenty of water. Don’t matter if it’s cold or temped, just drink and drink plenty.

Lizzie is coming up on Saturday with her mother. She said she will be up around lunch time, but I am not sure if I should cook lunch or dinner???? Regardless, I will feed them. She said she will know what’s going on with her trip plans by then. Xavier is NOT driving. So they need to get a flight. She said she will get the flight on Friday when you get paid. I told her to let me know if I can help with anything. You know I will help her as much as I can. She also hasn’t found the place to stay. I am not so sure what plan she has but am sure we will figure it out as it hits us.

Brandon is iffy. He got a phone call from his doctor saying something was wrong with his liver so he supposed to go see him today but now he is telling me that doctor said not to come in but watch the liver. No drinking at all, which is a good thing for him. It’s too bad he doesn’t have Korean liver. Just a joke.

I heard you didn’t like my cute stickers??? Hmmmmmmmmm? Is this means I need to double the stickers??? I am glad to know you are getting the letter. I was worried that you may not get the letters.

In three weeks, I get to see you….yeah… Chad is coming up on 3rd with his entourages and staying till Sunday. I told him that they are on their own on July 4th. I am sure they will be going out to the Mall and watch fire works.

Well, another week is starting and my Monday is a crap as usual. I already yelled at people and it’s not even 8 yet. Grandmamma sends her love. She worries.

Be a good boy and be safe for momsy.

My dearest baby boy,

As I said, it’s drama after drama here. But it’s really not so serious.

Well, on Wednesday, we had a storm, not a hurricane, storm. It knocked out all the electricity in Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia. Of course our house too. They are saying about 100 thousand families are out of electricity. Three deaths and one is near the house. This guy was driving down the road and tree fell on top of the car and kill the passenger. Eeeeeks!

Anyway, light was out since the noon of Wednesday and I was panicking because I went to Costco last weekend to fill both freezer with meat and stuff. You know how I do. I looked for dry ice but nobody had any. I looked for a generator but they were out since Wednesday. So I had to send my mafia guys out to find dry ice yesterday and one brought 10 pounds of it. I screeched home and put one block upstairs and one in basement freezer. I was told that I will get 40 hours or so of cooling from this if I don’t open the doors.

Then we went out to each and piddledicking since the house was hot. We returned home around one and the light was back on. I was so happy. But now it makes me think I should invest in a small generator for the house in case of emergency like this. The headache is over and I feel lucky that I didn’t sustain any damages and light came up in reasonable time. So yes, I have drama but it’s really nothing.

Tomorrow I am going to DC to do Race for Cure walk but they are calling 100+ in temperature. I am so not looking forward to it but I made a commitment and I need to do it.

Soooooooooooooooo how are you my love? Are you doing okay???? I talked to your dad yesterday; he is coming down with Dona’s son to see you. I will meet up with them at the airport and I will follow behind him. We did get rooms at the HoJo near your base. I will cancel the ones from Sheraton. It’s was too far from you and waste time just driving back and forth. I still don’t know what’s going on with Lizzie. I don’t know how she is going to get down there and where she is going to stay. Does she have any plans? I know you are grown peeps and will handle but I still worry as you know. I am sure she will let me know when she comes up with her mother next Saturday. I don’t think they will appreciate the fine cuisine of Korea so I should find some American joints to take them out for dinner. We will see.

I hope you are doing well. See you soon.

Love you!!!

My dearest baby boy,

If there was a drama, my picture would be right next to it. I am not so sure if I like the drama or the drama just follows me around.

I talk to Lizzie yesterday. She doesn’t call so I had to e-mail and nudge her to do so. Regardless, I wanted to know if you were able to call her at least. She said she hasn’t heard anything. That means you are tied up?? Of course you are. Brandon is worry about you everyday. He kept saying San Antonio is two miles above sea level and summer….etc. I know he is worried. I told him he can join if he likes. But you know he cannot make it.

Anyway, Lizzie told me she gave me the wrong address and made correction to it. I am concern that you didn’t get your letters. I hope they will have a good heart to forward the letters to you. She also told me your graduation is on July 3rd through 5th. I went online to get the program for that. Lizzie said she will get a ride with Xavier, which decided to drive down there. I am not sure if that is such a good idea but what can I say. She will bring her mother to come visit on 14th. That will be an interesting visit. What do you think? I promise I will be nice. I will speak to her more about the trip. She didn’t say anything about where she is going to say and etc….you know I have to worry about everything.

Talk to your dad and he is coming down on Thursday through Sunday. I got him a room on 3rd at one of the Sheratons but 4th, 5th and 6th is still up in the air. But he was sure that he will be there entire weekend. I can only be there for 3rd and 4th. As you know Chad and his entourage is coming up for the Independence Day in DC. They are driving up on 2nd and arrive on 3rd. So they are on their own for one day which shouldn’t be that bad. I booked a flight out of BWI and will arrive at noon on 3rd. I rented a car, so I am driving directly to base and will stay there till your liberty is over at 7:30 p.m. Then I will check in to the hotel. I will be up early and get to the parade area at 8:00 a.m. and hang out with you till 3:30 p.m. and return car to the airport rental by 4:00 p.m. to fly out at 5:00 p.m. It will be a tight trip but I think I can make it. I will get here at midnight. I am sorry I cannot stay for Saturday but daddy will be there the whole day with you. He will take you out and stuff. I hope you are okay with this arrangement. Do you need me to bring you anything? Brandon feels bad that he cannot go to see you but he has to work, he said. He is a peon and you know all holiday hours are his.

I am shocked that you don’t get a chance to call home yet. That is inhumane, I must protest. They don’t need to see me acting ugly. Just kidding.

Hope you are doing well, sweetheart. Everybody is well here. They just put more speed bumps in our housing area to aggravate me. I am still into my Korean Soap.

Miss you. I love you.

June 2, 2008

My dearest baby boy,

It’s already June, where the time goes???
How are you doing? Are you eating okay? Are they feeding you edible food?
I was going to make some curry this weekend but I decided not to till you come home.

Travesty! Total travesty!
We fought traffic, we fought parking-lot-snatchers, and we fought the deluge. We picked up and cart with wheel turning four different ways….but we had a mission at the Costco. A mission to buy the trail mix you liked. I marched directly to back of the store where bakery exists without stopping for any sample tastings…do you know how hard that was?
Trust me, it was hard. And I looked for the trail mix. And looked. It was no where to be found. I was confused and distorted. I asked a person whom looked like she work there somewhat. The answer I got was not what I wanted….”We discontinue it because it wasn’t a good seller” What? What? Who decides that? I am the consumer and consumer wants it. I threw a small fit and embarrass Mike a little. But I was defeated by tail mix hording bakery Nazis. They are saying they will come out with new product soon to appease me. Who cares! I don’t want new product. I want the old trail mix that my baby boy loves! So we return home with bunch of unnecessary good but without the one item we went there for. Sorry. I tried.

Since I can not get the trail mix anymore, do you have any other thing you would like to have instead?? I have a bunch of Oreo’s and Nutter Butters. They were on sale at the commissary.

Do you get a weekend time off? Or do you have to do whatever continuously? When is your graduation? Brandon is telling me it’s on July 4th and if so, it would be hard for me to go since Chad and his group is coming up from Florida but most of all I am unable to get a flight in decent price. Right now, it’s at 546 with NWA. It is little too steep for me and Brandon. Find out the date and let me know, I will do my very best to come down and see you even if it’s just for a few hours. You know that.

I hope you are doing well and we think about you everyday. Hope you will finish this in successful manner where you will be happy with your life and career you chosen.

Love

Mum

My dearest baby boy,

I hope letters are starting to find you. I promised myself that I will write everyday but I was unable to fulfill the promise as the week went by.

It’s Friday and I hope you are doing okay and able to take a day or two to take a breather. How are you, my love??? Are you adjusting okay? Are they yelling at you? Please tell them you are not use to yelling people.

We are doing well. Nothing changed. Brandon is Brandon, whining and complaining. He will complaint even if I hang him with a gold rope. Michael is doing okay. I am still fat and grumpy.

Talked to Grandmamma this morning and she is having a hard time hearing. She kept telling me to speak up and up…I was end up shouting at her. I am thinking I will do the same to all of you soon. Hahaha…

Are you eating? I am going to Costco this weekend to get the trail mix and I will have it in the mail next week. Do you need anything??? If you do, don’t hesitate to let me know. You can call me but I am sure you would rather spend the phone privilege for your new bride…but just tell her what you need. She will call and let me know. I know now I am not the number one girl in your life, anymore. Kkkk..

Don’t do anything outrageous! Just listen to your instructors and be a good boy.

I love you and will write you again.

Love Mum

Rose quartz crystal skull

2008-05-28T05:36:00.000-07:00

The only known crystal skull that comes close to resembling the Mitchell-Hedges skull is one called the Rose Quartz Crystal Skull, which was reported near the border of Honduras and Guatemala. It is not clear in color and is slightly larger than the Mitchell-Hedges, but boasts a comparable level of craftsmanship, including a removable mandible.

ET Skull

2008-05-28T05:35:00.001-07:00

"ET" is a smoky quartz skull found in the early 20th Century in Central America. It was given its nickname because its pointed cranium and exaggerated overbite make it look like the skull of an alien being. ET is part of the private collection of Joke Van Dietan, who tours with her skulls to share the healing powers she believes they possess.

Texas Crystal Skull

2008-05-28T05:33:00.002-07:00

A skull known as "Max," or the Texas Crystal Skull, is a single-piece, clear skull weighing 18 pounds. It reportedly originated in Guatemala, then passed from a Tibetan spiritualist to JoAnn Parks of Houston, Texas. The Parks family allows visitors to observe Max and they display the skull at various exhibitions across the U.S.

Mayan Crystal Skull and the Amethyst Skull

2008-05-28T05:33:00.001-07:00

Further examples of primitively sculpted skulls are a couple called the Mayan Crystal Skull and the Amethyst Skull. They were discovered in the early 1900s in Guatemala and Mexico, respectively, and were brought to the U.S. by a Mayan priest. The Amethyst Skull is made of purple quartz and the Mayan skull is clear, but the two are otherwise very alike. Like the Mitchell-Hedges skull, both of them were studied at Hewlett-Packard, and they too were found to be inexplicably cut against the axis of the crystal.

The British Crystal Skull and the Paris Crystal Skull

2008-05-28T05:30:00.000-07:00

There is a pair of similar skulls known as the British Crystal Skull and the Paris Crystal Skull. Both are said to have been bought by mercenaries in Mexico in the 1890s, possibly at the same time. They are so similar in size and shape that some have guessed that one was copied to produce the other. In comparison to the Mitchell-Hedges skull, they are made of cloudier clear crystal and are not nearly as finely sculpted. The features are superficially etched and appear incomplete, without discretely formed jawbones. The British Crystal Skull is on display at London's Museum of Mankind, and the Trocadero Museum of Paris houses the Paris Crystal Skull.

The British Crystal Skull
It is currently residing in the British Museum of Man in London, England, and has been there since 1898. It is a one piece clear quartz full size quartz crystal skull.

The Paris Crystal Skull
It is currently residing in the Trocadero Museum in Paris, France. You may notice a slight indentation on the top, which is a hole that was cut into the skull purported to hold a cross.

The Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull

2008-05-28T05:29:00.001-07:00

The Mitchell-Hedges skull is made of clear quartz crystal, and both cranium and mandible are believed to have come from the same solid block. It weighs 11.7 pounds and is about five inches high, five inches wide, and seven inches long. Except for slight anomalies in the temples and cheekbones, it is a virtually anatomically correct replica of a human skull. Because of its small size and other characteristics, it is thought more closely to resemble a female skull -- and this has led some to refer to the Mitchell-Hedges skull as a "she."
The Mitchell-Hedges family loaned the skull to Hewlett-Packard Laboratories for extensive study in 1970. Art restorer Frank Dorland oversaw the testing at the Santa Clara, California, computer equipment manufacturer, a leading facility for crystal research. The HP examinations yielded some startling results.
Researchers found that the skull had been carved against the natural axis of the crystal. Modern crystal sculptors always take into account the axis, or orientation of the crystal's molecular symmetry, because if they carve "against the grain," the piece is bound to shatter -- even with the use of lasers and other high-tech cutting methods.
To compound the strangeness, HP could find no microscopic scratches on the crystal which would indicate it had been carved with metal instruments. Dorland's best hypothesis for the skull's construction is that it was roughly hewn out with diamonds, and then the detail work was meticulously done with a gentle solution of silicon sand and water. The exhausting job -- assuming it could possibly be done in this way -- would have required man-hours adding up to 300 years to complete.
Under these circumstances, experts believe that successfully crafting a shape as complex as the Mitchell-Hedges skull is impossible; as one HP researcher is said to have remarked, "The damned thing simply shouldn't be."

Indiana Jones and the kingdom of crytal skull

2008-05-28T05:14:00.001-07:00

I was totally disappointed. I didn't like it. I felt they wasted a perfectly good story. It's a pretty movie packed with actions as usual but the story was wasted.
I think it's because I am actually interested in crystal skulls around world.
They could have done a slightly complexed story at the end where everything sucked up to space ship. But worth of seeing Harrison Ford in action. I always liked him.
Brandon is telling me that I should go see the Iron Man, which I may do that this weekend.

My letter to Joshua 5-28-08

2008-05-28T05:13:00.001-07:00

May 28, 2008,

My dearest baby boy,

Another day is starting! I am sure by now you are up and running around. I hope you are getting used to that. Remember this is just a starting of your military life.

It’s little nippy this morning at around 65 degrees. As you guessed, I love it. It’s a perfect temperature.

I talked to your brothers and they all said they are writing you a letter. Only person we couldn’t get hold of was your dad. He went up to Niagara Falls over the Memorial Day weekend and we weren’t able to catch up with him. Now everybody is out of his house and he is living his life as he wished…cannot blame him. We will get hold of him today.

I had to go to the dentist yesterday and cost me 250 with my meager insurance. I hate my dental insurance; it’s not doing any good in any stretch. I still owe the other dentist 600 bucks and I am going to take as long as time I can possibly pay off. I hate them.

Did I tell you that I went out to interview with another hotel last week? Well I did. The hotel is called Virginia Inn and it’s located in Foggy Bottom with 190ish rooms. The position I was interviewing for was the GM’s position but pay is same. I am not so sure if I want it. Coming here from the Omni is bad enough; do I really want to go for smaller hotel?? I don’t think it’s a smart decision….but I am still entertaining it. We will see. You know I get ants in my pants if I have to stay in one place too long. I don’t know if I have a Gypsy blood in me or not. Ha ha… I don’t think I can leave this area for a while since my house is not worth what it was when I bought. At least you know you have a permanent address. What I understand is that dad wants to fix the house and put it on the market. Perhaps ne needs a smaller house as mine. Truly the house is too big for him alone. It was a good size house when all of us were there.

I found a stack of pictures from 1998 in my nail polish box. They are the picture from Kings Dominion. You and Brandon looked like babies. I hope in near future, I will purchase external memory and start scanning all the pictures by years. This way I won’t loose them or keep it forever. But it’s so tedious task, I am not so sure if I can manage.

I didn’t want to start a day without writing you a note. Hope you are well. I still haven’t been to Costco. I may be able to go on Saturday. I hope this note find the way to you. I love you so much. I miss you.

Love,

Mom

My dear dearest baby boy,

I hope you are doing okay and getting use to the surroundings. Lizzie e-mailed me with your address and I have forward it to Chad as well. I called her Saturday to check on her and she sounded she is doing well.

I don’t want you to worry about anybody here but yourself. We are doing well. As yesterday was the Memorial Day, we BBQed and set around, since I had to work the overnight due to a headache group in house. I BBQed your favorite steak, just way you like. But I was so sad, telling Mike that I feel horrible since I didn’t BBQ the best quality steak for you when you were up last time. It was too tough, don’t you think? I am sorry. Next time, I will get the best quality the money can buy.

How are you doing? Are they feeding you okay? Are you getting enough sleep? Did you find out when is your graduation?? Are you trying to station at Andrew’s? I need to know these.

I went to see the “Indiana Jones” and Mike liked it a lot. For me, I have slightly different opinion about the movie. An opinion is like a bellybutton, everybody have one, ha ha. I like the movie but I didn’t love it (I sound like Simon Cowell in American Idol).

Talk to Grandmamma, and she sends her love and told me to tell you that she is praying every morning for you till your return. When I talked to her, you baby auntie was visiting grandmamma. She drank heavily with your uncles as usual and nearly pissing on grandmamma’s TV. I was laughing my butt off.

Brandon got himself an ab-belt. It supposed to shoot electro shock to your muscle and make your tummy tight. I tried it and I am not so sure it will work. I also go Wii Fit.
I’ve been exercising with it. It’s a fun thing. You need to try it.

I am going to try to jot notes to you daily. I am going to try to go to Costco and get you some trail mix. I am sure that’s okay, since it’s not gum or candy.

Be a good boy and don’t be like your older brother to get kicked out. You wanted to catch the star and you are on your way.

I love you with all my heart. I miss you.

Love,
Mom

My broken heart, my broken spirit! 2

2008-05-19T10:45:00.000-07:00

When they were born, Joshua was 14 minutes behind Brandon. But I think Joshua is the older one of two. He was quiet and smart looking. Didn't cry much, just pretty to look at. He was always very thoughtful to others. He will give anything he as if anybody askes. He is the only one helps me around the house without me bitching and whining. He was always there for me. Now what am I going to do without him?

My heart is aching like it's been crushed on a rock.

I already miss him. I miss his smile. I miss his smell. He is my baby.

My broken heart, my broken spirit!

2008-05-19T10:40:00.000-07:00

Sun is shining and little breeze kisses my cheeks.
But my heart is breaking as I lost something dear.

Last night Joshua came up from Richmond with his new bride, Lizzie. From DC to Richmond is about two hours away to South. He came up to say good bye to me. Today, he left for US Air Force boot camp. He will be there for next 6 weeks of basic training. After the basic, he will be attending AIT school where they teach basic skills to be soldier. I woke him up at 6:00 a.m. to give him a hug. I told him I love him but some how it doesn’t feel enough. Nothing I can give is enough for my children. I will give my life for their happiness.

I wish he doesn’t go. I wish he stays as a baby in my arms forever.

I am so sad. And my heart is broken.

Subject: RE: 바빴던 하루에요

Wow, you had a great day!

I wish I can do that!

Choco cake looks really good on your page. I cannot believe you made your butter milk. How did you learn so much? You should have a TV show and teach people like ME! Haha…I am impossible, I don’t think I can learn. I went to culinary school in Heidelberg, Germany. But I didn’t do well. I made too much noise with my equipment and broke too many things; the chef told me to just supervise other people and don’t touch anything. So for 6 month, I supervise but didn’t learn how to cook. 딩가딩가!!!!!

Yes, it’s the weekend. I don’t have any special plans for the weekend but I want to sleep as long as I can. Then get up, go to bathroom and go back to sleep. That’s all I want to do. I may watch a few movies that I haven’t had time to see (on DVD). I watch the Korean Movie called Green Chair and it was wired. I didn’t know Korean people make movies like that. I didn’t like it. Pepepepepe!
I love funny movies. I need something to make me laugh.

Yes, you have a 훌륭하고 멋있는 남편! I know he must be tired working such a long hours. I never had a job in Korea but I watch in soap opera and they talk about “Ya geun” a lot. I didn’t know they didn’t get paid???? If you work long hours (over 10), you should be compensated, no? Tsk…tsk… I agree with you on this, Korea is still primitive when it comes to labor law.

My father was a doctor and my mother was a teacher. But nobody else is a doctor in our family but bunch of teachers. My mother, my brother and me!!! So we are teacher household.

My mother was shocked to see my boys. Chad is 185 cm tall and Joshua is 192.5 cm tall. They had a hard time sitting on the floor but they managed. Brandon, my middle boy is 190 cm….so my boys are very tall. We took a picture in side of subway in Seoul and you can see their heads sticking on top of all Korean people. It was a funny picture. If I find it, I will send it to you.

Our cherry blossom starts on 27th of this month. I will take a lot of pictures and send it to you. I have not gone out to festival but this year, I am going to try.

I am sending Jae Yerl a picture I love. My son took the picture for a commercial he is working on. I love the expression the black sheep has and it makes me smile. So I want to share it with Jae Yerl. I hope he likes it. If he is here, I could play with him and build Lego stuff…but for now, this will have to do. I love Lego and I like to make things fun. I don’t remember being a child. I don’t think I had any childhood. I was always oldest with most responsibilities to my brothers and sister…. Therefore, now I am buying all the toys I want. I buy a lot of “Hello Kitty” dolls and Lego block. And my sons always buy me girl stuff, like Hello Kitty rice cooker and toaster…etc. It’s good be a only girl in the house.

My mother is smart and strong. She always wanted me to become a military general in Korea. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! I was good in military drill in school. I was Yun Dae Jang in high school. Tah Dah!

I will visit my family in Korea but not to live. I don’t think I can live there any more. The way I act will make my mother angry, I cannot do that. If I go home, I take 2 weeks of vacation and stay with my mother. My sons will stay with my baby brother’s house since it’s almost like American house. But I like to sleep next to my mother. I like my mother’s smell, it’s so strange but she has mother smell which I miss a lot. I like Mok Yok Tang. My sister takes me there and we spend several hours there. She likes JJim Jil Bang but I don’t like that very much. I talk to my sister this morning and asked her if she can come and live with me, she finally said yes. I am so happy. She will start the paper work and she will come to US in August. Her son (my Nephew) is in Military and getting out in August. She wants to make sure he is all set for his new life and come see me. I think it will be fun.

I hope you have a great, fun and wonderful weekend with Jae Yerl and your 훌륭하고 멋있는 남편!

I will write you more!!!

하루에 어떻게 지내시는지 읽어보니 정말.. 회사 얘기 하기를 싫어하시는 마음 알 것 같아요.
일하는 게 좋기는 하지만, 한편으로는 일에 시달리는 면도 있기 때문에 정말 만사가 다 귀찮고, 말하기 싫은 그
기분 말이에요. 혼자서 그냥 가만히 있고 싶을 때..저도 회사다닐 때 그랬던 것 같아요.

그래도 전 미국에 가 본적이 없어서 잘 모르지만, 그 넓은 나라에서 동양의 여자라 차별도 겪으셨을텐데
그렇게 큰 호텔에서 그렇게 높은자리까지 승진하신 Cindy님이 정말 멋있어보여요.
또한 지금에 만족하지 않으시고 또 다른 직장으로 옮길 준비도 조금씩 하시려는 게 말이에요.
앞으로도 준비 차분하게 잘 하셔서 더 좋은 호텔로 가셨으면 좋겠어요. 진짜루요..~!!

예전에 한국 프로그램 중에 korean report(한민족 리포트)라고, KBS에서 심야시간에
외국에서 열심히 일하고 있는 한국인들을 취재해서 한 시간 짜리 다큐멘터리로 만들어서
보여줬던 프로그램이 있었거든요.
지금은 없어졌지만... 그런 프로그램이 있다면 Cindy님도 나오실만 할 것 같아요.
아...정말 멋지다!!!

나중에라도 한국에 아예 들어오실 생각은 없으신거죠?
젊은 시절을 다 외국에서 보내셨기 때문에 다시 한국에 들어와서 적응하시긴 힘드시긴 할꺼에요..
한국에 오시더라도 길게 계시진 못하시죠?
오시게 되면 어디에 머무시나요? 하하 쓰고보니 다 질문이네요 ^^
그냥 궁금해서요.

제 동생도 지금 공부한다고 austrailia에 raiology 공부하러 갔어요.
올해 마지막 학년이구요, 내년에 1년 병원에서 실습을 마치고 난 다음 현지 병원에 취직할 생각이래요.
거기서 병원 다니다가 한국 병원시장도 해외자본에 Open한다고 예정이 되어 있거든요.
외국계 병원이 한국에 설립을 여기저기하게 되면 그때 자리가 나는 거 봐서 알아보고 귀국할 생각이래요.
한국은 노동시장이 굉장히 불균형해요.
일을 오래한다고 해서 pay를 높게 주는 것도 없구요, 그렇게 주는 곳은 완전한 factory 형태에서 일하는 직업군.
예를 들면 자동차 공장이나 화학공장 등 노동조합이 있는 곳만 야근수당에 대한 합당한 대우를 해주고요
다른 직업군(예를 들면 저희 남편이나 제가 일했던 IT business)은 야근수당같은 건 구경하기도 힘들어요.
저희 남편이 일하는 시간을 따지면 오전에 9시에 출근해서 퇴근을 밤 9시, 10시에 하는데요
PM 6시 이후에 일하는 수당에 대해서는 회사에선 아무런 책임도 없어요.
그저 저녁밥이나 회사돈으로 먹을 수 있는 정도?
그 정도 수준이거든요.

저희 남편이 다니는 회사는 한국 IT기업들 중에 굉장히 상위에 속하는 회사에요.
근데도 사정이 이러니.. 더 작은 회사는 형편이 어떨지.. 저절로 짐작이 가죠.
그래서 이런 환경이 너무 싫어서 정말 집에 돈이 없고 막막하지만, 그래도 자기 실력이 있는 사람들은
영어 공부 열심히 해서 캐나다나 미국으로 이민가는 사람들도 굉장히 많아요.
다행히 외국으로 이민가서 자리를 잘 잡고 사는 사람들도 많지만, 이민 적응에 실패해서 한국으로 다시
돌아오는 사람도 많고.. 날이 갈수록 먹고 사는 문제가 정말로 심각하고, 어려운 것이다보니
사람들이 고민이 많아지는가봐요.
저희도 마찬가지구요.

저도 Cindy님하고 이런저런 얘기를 나누다보니 재밌어서요
별별 얘기를 다 하게 되네요 ^^ 히히

오늘은 주말인데 주말에 특별한 계획 없으신가요?
남자친구분하고 데이트도 하시고, 일주일동안 쌓인 스트레스도 확 풀어버리시구요
기분 좋은 주말 맞이하시길 바랄께요.

저희는 이번 주말엔 시댁갔다가 친정갔다가하면
토요일, 일요일이 그냥 다 지나갈 것 같아요.
토요일은 결혼식까지 있어서 더 바쁘겠네요.

주말 잘 보내시구요~ 제가 또 메일 보낼께요~!!

오늘도 기분 좋은 하루 보내세요~!~!~~~

Dearest friend,

What a wonderful way to start the day with your e-mail! I am in my office at 6:30 a.m. every morning and go home around 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. every day.
Yesterday was really tough. I had to terminate two부하직원 for gambling. No matter how high your position is but termination of your부하직원 is not easy at all. I wish I don’t have to do that.

I just finished talking to my mother. She is telling me she started College classes on 3/3/08 and she is very happy that she is back to school. She is 76 and crazy. I told her to go out and have some fun; she goes to college. My sister had a Karaoke room in Busan and the business was not so good so she had to close last month. I asked her to come and stay with me here but I don’t know if she will or not.

I love your story and I would like to share my story with you as much as I can.

The girl’s family is so happy she is getting married to my son, even though she is only 17. They are low class white people and my son to them is a good catch. L She can get out of the low class life. They are moving up and we are moving down. Aigo juk get da! Aigo goal chi ya!

I have to out and walk around the hotel to say hello to all my employees. I will come back later and write some more.

Nighty nite.

Re: 메일 기다리셨죠? 히히

C 님께

저 때문에 그렇게 많이 웃으셨어요? 하하하 ^^ 제가 좀 많이 웃겨요. ㅋㅋㅋ 실제로도 헛소리와 농담을 늘상 즐겨하기 때문에
진지하게 얘기를 하면 다들 거짓말 한다고 더 웃지요. 하하하 :D
하지만 이미 알고 계시듯, 제가 드린 메일의 내용은 100% 사실이라서 -_-;;;; 아마도 저 재미있으셨을꺼에요 ^^

회사에서는 아무래도 #2 이시다보니 다른 직원들 앞에서 행동을 조심하셔야 하니
저처럼 아무하고나 촐랑촐랑 떠들고, 농담하는 일은 하시기 힘들겠죠.
우왕 멋있어요!!~~!~~ 저 같은 성격은 그런 #2 자리에는 올라가지도 못할꺼에요.

재열이 임신했을 때에는 제가 직장을 다니고 있었어요. 그리고 출산휴가 maternity leave 끝나고 나서 다시 회사로
복직을 했는데요 저희 친정에서 재열이 봐주신다고 하셔서 맡겼는데 저희 엄마가 정말 너무 힘드셨는지
살이 쭉쭉 빠지시더라구요.
그거 보는데 정말 마음이 많이 아팠어요. 엄마는 괜찮다고 하시는데, 3개월 정도 맡였는데 엄마 몸무게가 6kg이
줄어버리시더라구요.
아이구야...

재열이는 재열이대로 겨우 태어난지 백일 된 녀석이 몸무게가 3개월 동안 100g 밖에 늘지 않아서
병원에서도 뭐라고 하더라구요. 재열이가 돌 되기 전에는 완전히 울보였거든요.
아마.. 먹고 살기 힘들고 열심히 살아야 하는 상황이었으면 그렇게 못 그만뒀을 꺼 같기두 해요.
그렇다구 지금 부자는 아니지만 잘 모르겠어요 아직도.

나중에 무슨 일을 하게 될꺼 같기는 한데 그게 뭔지는 모르겠어요.
지금 무슨 사춘기 같아요. 요즘은 80세 정도까지는 다 살 수 있는데, 지금 아직 40살도 안됐는데요
남은 40년 동안 재밌게 할 수 있는 일을 찾으면 좋을 것 같아서 항상 고민하고 있어요. ^^

아드님 얘기 다시 봤는데요.. 아.... 아가씨 나이가 정말 너무너무 어리네요.
아가씨라고 하기 보다는 너무 애기인데...17살이면 말이에요. 학교도 졸업하기 전에 결혼부터 하려고 하다니..
여자친구 부모님은 너무 일찍 결혼하려 하는 것에 대해서 말리지 않으시나요?
아드님도 휴학까지 하시고.... 공군까지 지원한다고 하시고..

근데 학업은 나중에 시간이 좀 더 지나고 철들어서(?) 스스로 필요하다고 생각을 하게 되면
저나 제 남편처럼 나중에라도 할 수 있으니 너무 걱정마세요.
적은 돈을 벌기 위해 고생스러운 일을 하러 가는 아드님을 보시면 정말 맘이 많이 많이 아프시겠네요.... 아이구야...
제가 친척이라도 되면 얘기라도 해 볼텐데 하는 생각이 드네요. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

그래도 당장 결혼하겠다는 건 아닐테니 Cindy님이 잘 지켜보고 계시겠죠.
정말 좋은 결정을 아드님이 하도록 저도 여기서 빌고 있을께요.

근데 그렇게 어린 나이에 데모하다가 미국으로 가셨다니 정말 대단하시네요. 어머님이 특히 더 대단하신 것 같아요.
그 어린 딸을 외국으로 혼자 보낼 생각을 하셨다니 말이에요...!!

그럼 거기서 그렇게 어렸을 때 결혼하시고, 지금의 위치까지 오르시느라 얼마나 열심히 치열하게 사셨을 지 말씀하지 않으셔도 알 것 같아요.
당장은 아드님이 Cindy님 맘을 조금 아프게 하고는 있겠지만 나중에는 다 잘될꺼라고 생각해요.
열심히 사는 엄마의 모습을 아들들이 보면서 자랐기 때문에 서로 이해하는 날이 오지 않을까요.

저도 잠깐이었지만 회사를 다니면서 재열이를 키워봐서 그런지, 직장다니면서 아이들을 키운 엄마들을 보면
정말 대단하다는 생각이 들어요. 직장을 다니면서 아이를 키운다는 건 한국에서는...정말 너무너무 힘든 일이거든요.
미국이라고 쉽지 않으셨을텐데 정말 멋있으세요.
시간 나실 때 Cindy님 얘기도 조금씩 들려주세요. 너무너무 재밌어요.

지금쯤 주무시고 계시겠네요.
좋은 꿈 꾸시고, 내일 하루도 속 썩이는 없이 기분 좋은 하루 되시길
진심으로 바랄께요.

또 메일 보낼께요~ ^^

Subject: RE: ^^

My dearest Ms. Young,

I know what you mean about not letting somebody know your personal information on-line. In America, the identity theft via on-line transaction is uncountable. You need to be careful all the time.

Jae Yerl? Very manly name. Handsome name for handsom boy. Does he look like you? He will turn out very handsome. Just give him a lot of protein and iodine (not too much because the eyes will bulge out). I wish little boys stay little just at Jae Yerl’s age. When they grow up, they don’t need mommy as much. I miss little hands, little hugs…everything about little babies. Mine are too big to be cute. Instead of hug, he will pick me up and carry me around like a rag doll. But since they are all boys, nobody touches my stuff. All my girly stuff.

I am sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. I must tell you, it’s not easy raising kids on your own. I was lucky that my ex loves his kids and he is rich. He paid for most of their stuff till they were 18 and as usual American way, he cut them off to get jobs. But my boys were little spoiled, so had hard time getting jobs. They want good jobs but no education or experience. Didn’t want to do any labor involved work. Gave me total headaches.

You are very blessed to have such a nice husband who cares for you and your hobby. You need to thank your lucky star!! Your pictures are fantastic. You captured moments with movements. That means you have very sharp eyes for details. Most people don’t have that, I don’t. I work with my head, so when I am free I need to do something with my hands. So I build or play games. I am addicted to X-Box, Wii, PS 3 and DS games. I play every night till 8:00 p.m. and them watch my soap opera till 9:00 p.m. and play again till I pass out. Bottom line, I cannot sit still. I have to move and do something all the time.

Thank you for your kind word on my picture. It’s a lot of make-up. Aigoya! I look like a death-warmed-over without my make up. Hehhehe! Don’t do any thing to Jae Yerl’s face. I tried to dental stretch of my son’s chin to make him look like Alan Delong (you are too young to know???), but didn’t work out. Just gave him a lot of pain. I regret it. I feel so bad for him to go through that because I wanted him look gorgeous. I should just accept that he is gorgeous without all the stretching. The other two looks like me, so I gave up fixing their faces. Hahahaha.

Is you mom tells you to lose weight? Oh my god, my mother tells me every week. She wants me to take some medication to clean my stomach out to look thin. I cannot do that. I love food too much. I love eating. My mother is worried that I will look like one of our imo. But what can I say, if I do, it’s in blood. So I will continue lie to my mother that I am on diet. Like we say, if you eat well, after you die, at least your ghost look health??? I believe that my ghost will look healthy and happy. That’s my goal. Hahahaha….

I have not received any resume from your friend. Tell her not to be afraid. Worst thing is somebody says NO, but if you don’t try, you don’t even get that. Tell her to just send it and hope for the best. Like I said, I welcome the opportunity and will give serious consideration with business in mind.

I have a bread making machine but my bread never comes out like yours. I paid $250 for the machine but now it’s sitting in the basement and collecting dust. I wish I can cook. My mother never taught me. She always told me to go study; I break too many things in the kitchen and I have no grace. I was always like a tomboy.

Hope you have a great day. Give my hugs and kisses to Jae Yerl. XOXOXO!!!!

안녕하세요 ^^주말 잘 보내셨어요? 저희 꼬맹이 사진 보고 기분 좋으셨다니 저도 좋네요 ^^생각해보니 제 이름을 안 알려드렸네요.블로그에는 진짜 이름을 일부러 얘기 안해요. 한국은 좁다보니까 온라인에서자기 이름을 밝히면 서로 알고 지내는 사람이었던 경우도 있고, 편하게 누구 흉보기도나쁘고 ^^ 해서요.
제 이름은 이영은 이구요, 저희 남편도 성이 이씨라서 저희 애기 이름은 이재열이에요.온라인에선 이름을 말하기가 좀 꺼려져서 그냥 주니어라구 하구요 ^^ 재열이가 커서 얼굴도 잘생긴 멋진 남자애가 되었으면 하고 바라는데아직은 잘 모르겠어요 히히예쁘게 봐 주셔서 정말 고맙습니다.
그리구 사진은요. 그냥 막 찍는거에요 ㅋㅋㅋ어디서 배운 적은 없구요, 학교 다닐 때도 전공은 컴퓨터 공학이었거든요.사진하고는 전혀 관련없는 전공이었어요.애기 낳기 전에 주변에서 카메라를 좀 좋은 걸 준비해둬야 집안에서꼬맹이 사진을 예쁘게 찍을 수 있다고 해서 남편이 수소문해서 괜찮은 카메라를샀거든요. 그거 가지구 아기 사진 찍다가, 밥 해 먹는 사진도 하나 둘 찍어서모으기 시작하다보니 실력이 조금이나마 전보다 나아진 것 같은데요그래도 정말 잘 찍는 분들에 비하면 저는 비교도 안돼요 ^^;;;
아드님 뒷바라지 하시려면 돈 많이 많이 버셔야겠네요 하하하한국에서도 요즘 Law-School 제도를 도입해서 입학금이 무지무지 비싸다고 하더라구요.사립대학교에서 약학대학의 경우 600만원을 훨씬 넘구요, 의학대학의 경우1년에 1,000만원 넘긴지는 이미 오래됐어요.그래서 여기서는 돈 없으면 애들이 공부를 잘해도 의과대학이나 약학대학은보내기가 힘들다는 말이 나올 정도에요.저희도 열심히 돈 모아서 재열이 뒷바라지 할 수 있게 모아놔야 되나..하는 농담을서로 하긴 하는데 아직은 애기라서 얘가 대학가려면 앞으로 15년은 있어야 하는데멀었어 멀었어..하고 있어요. 흐~~~
그리구 말씀드렸던 그 이력서는.. 제가 아는 동생이긴 하지만 일을 하는데 있어서는어떤 태도로 일을 하는지 제가 잘 모르니 최대한 냉정하게, 그렇지만 예쁘게 봐주실 수있는 건 예쁘게 봐주시길 바래요.
저희 형님(sister-in-law)도 실은 몇년 전에 이혼을 하셨어요. 저희 형님의 남편은너무너무 문제가 많았어요. 형님이 대학교 3학년 때 방학기간 동안 유럽여행을 갔다가Italy의 트래비 분수 앞에서 한 번 우연히 남편되는 분을 마주쳤대요.그리구 여행을 하다가 다시 또 마주쳐서, 이게 무슨 운명인가보다 하고 만났는데남편은 미국에서 대학원 다니다가 놀러온 한국인이고, 얼굴도 잘생기고 키도 무척크고..암튼 나무랄 데 없는 사람이었거든요 (겉으로 보기에는)그래서 둘이 국제전화로 데이트를 하다가 결국 결혼을 해서 저희 형님 한국나이로스물네살에 결혼해서 미국으로 가서 사셨어요.
거기서 아이 둘 낳고..벌써 큰 애는 이번에 중학교 올라가거든요. 작은애는 초등학교6학년인가. 저희 형님이 올해 한국나이로 39살이시거든요.저랑 두 살 차이인데 저희집 꼬맹이는 이제 겨우 4살인데 형님네 큰 애는 14살...흐흐 엄청난 차이죠?
암튼 그렇게 결혼해서 사는데 문제가 정말 이루 말할 수 없이 많아서 저희형님이참다 못해 미국에서 이혼서류 다 만들어서 이혼했어요.그 남자는 미국에서도 신용문제가 복잡해서 한국으로 도망하듯 들어온 상태구요.형님이 혼자서 애들 둘을 직장다니며 키우다가 도저히 너무 힘들어서 못하겠다고올해 한국으로 아예 영구귀국 하시겠다고 들어오시는거에요.
저희 형님 보면서 저도 비슷한 생각을 했는데 불행한 결혼생활을 자식을 위해 참는다면서이혼하지 않고 버티는 것 보다는 이혼을 하고 행복하게 사는 게 더 나은 것 같아요.물론 이혼이라는 게 쉬운 일은 아니지만요..
사진 보내주신 것 보고 정말 깜짝 놀랐어요.아니 어떻게 큰아드님이 28살이라니.... 아드님하고 같이 외출하시면 다들 안믿지 않나요?엄마라고 하시면 말이에요.한국나이로 50이시라니... 아닌 것 같아요. 정말 그것보다 훨씬 젊어보이세요.웃는 모습이 너무 예쁘세요.
old and fat이라니. 전 그럼 young and fat인가요 저도 애기 낳고 살이 무지 쪄서요 저희 엄마가 저만 보면 살빼라고 난리세요.엊그제 친정갔다가 잔소리 바가지로 듣고 왔어요 (아이구 두야)ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
아드님도 잘생기셨네요. 코가 오똑해서 너무 부러워요.저희 꼬맹이는 코가 못생겨서 -_- 나중에 성형수술 시켜줘야 되나 고민하고 있어요. 하하하!

Subject: 간만에 사진 없는 긴 이야기 되려나.

Dear Ms. Beentm,

I read all your blogs including 빈틈씨의 수다. But “간만에 사진 없는 긴 이야기 되려나“ is my favorite story. I read it twice and try to think how I reflect myself to my three boys.
I questioned myself. Did I teach them to play fair and honestly and win? Or did I teach them to win at any cost? I thought about Chad (my oldest), he will be the one to win at any cost. If necessary, he will play dirty to win. But he will win. My second one, Brandon (in the picture), he will play fair and honest to the certain point but if he doesn’t win, he will cry and throw a fit like a baby. He has to win. Then my baby son, Joshua (15 minutes behind Brandon), he will only play what he want and what he will win. Otherwise he will watch others play and kill each other, laughing.
We, me and my ex-husband, tried our best to teach them to be honest and kind to others. I think they are honest because I saw things my kids do that is totally too honest (I wished them lie a little at times) and give very generous tips to waiters and waitresses. But I really don’t know what would they do when I am not there to watch????? I thought about this long and hard… I thought they are grown and my job is finished…but I guess not. I am still worried about them everyday.

Joshua wants to get married on May 8th. I don’t want him to get married. He is only 22 and what does he know about marriage? He is going in the US Air Force in May 20th and I don’t think it’s the right time. He is very angry with me and my ex-husband. But I don’t know how to stop him. I do NOT like his fiancé. She is fat and ugly. Most of all, she is NOT nice to my Joshua. I want him to marry a nice Korean girl (which will make my mother happy). I am hoping him to go to Korea and station in Busan (where my sister lives) or Osan.

I don’t want my kids to be like me. I don’t want them to work 10-12 hours a day, eat unhealthy food, sleep 4-5 hours, drink too much wine and spend more money than I have.

If you visit her, I will definitely take you to Todai. We have one not too far from my house but they are always so busy. So I go to Heebeen, another buffet but majority food is geared towards Korean peeps like me. And I will make you the best spaghetti you will ever taste, that’s all I can cook.

Thank you for a great story. I loved it. It made me think. I call this an intelligent blog.

Talk to you soon.

Subject: I hate Mondays!

Dear Ms. Beentm,

Sorry for the delay in my response. I work Monday through Friday and even though I have access to my computer from home, I am unable to send you any pictures.

Thank you so much for your presents. I love them soooooooooooooooooo much. I made it as my slide show and using it as my screen saver. He is so cute. I am sure your mom and dad love him so much. I wish I have a grandson like him. I like boys…girls cry. He has such a handsome face and he will grow up to be a knock out gorgeous.

You are a great photographer. Did you go to school for photography? My oldest son graduated from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale with BS degree in Fashion Photography. Well… degree is great but he cannot make any money by taking pictures. So he is back in Law school and hope he will get different degree. Yikes…! $$$$$ more money.

I am always looking for a good talent to work with me. It’s difficult to find talented and capable managers in US. Work ethic here is less than desirable. Most of them are lazy and think we owe them something. I will make sure to give serious consideration to Ms. Kim.

I am 50 this year in Korean age and 49 in American terms but I feel older than my age since I have to deal with so many people. I understand your thoughts on plastic surgery. You are young and beautiful. I felt the same way about it when I was young and thought I was beautiful. But now I am in my late years, I want to stay young and do whatever to keep it that way. But it’s too expensive and I am afraid of pain. Aucheee…. Everybody is getting Botox but I don’t like needles…so it’s NOT for me.

Wow, your husband works for ebay? That is so cool. That is so way way cool! I wish he can get a job here. Computer language is same, so if he is programmer, he can get a job here quick and easy. Their annual salaries start around $70,000’s. Wow…that is so cool. He must be very smart. He can go to Silicon Valley and work for not only ebay but google and yahoo. Living abroad is a great idea. It’s good for Junior too. But not live outside forever, just a few years, of course.

Smart husband, beautiful wife, and adorable son. Perfect combo!!! Perfect.

I got divorced 10 years ago and live very happy life. I have a friend I can hang out with and a cat keeps me company. In my case, being divorce is much better option than live unhappily. We never fought but we never had life together. I don’t know why. I lived in Germany and France for 7 years. I love Europe. Much better than US. I asked my mom to come and live with me, but she refused. She doesn’t like Yankees…hahahaha.

I am sending you a couple of pictures of me and my #2 son and my friend. So I don’t want you to think I am a sicko sending you bogus e-mails.

Please write back.

Friendship is a precious thing!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! What happens to the story????? Is Danpung ends up with Kang Baekho? I think he likes her more. I was watching “American Idol” and missed some of stories. Okay! Don’t tell me…L But I want to know, agggggg!
Okay, don’t tell me! I will watch… Yikes…!!!

I bought some sweet potatoes and plan to make Goon Goguma this weekend. It’s so cold; I don’t think I am going outside.
I am so happy today is Friday and PAYDAY! Yayyyy!!!! I am thinking about going home early.

There are many Korean words I don’t understand, like Team Jang, Ssang Earl…etc. You have so many new words. This is why I watch Korean TV but most of time I watch it because I miss the sound, not because I understand completely. I miss the sound of Korean. I feel bad because of my boys don’t speak Korean. They know some words to say “I am hungry (Bae go pa yo)” and “Give me some rice and Kimchee(bop, kimchee ju se yo).” But not much of anything.

Please consider coming to US sometime. You can stay at my hotel. Take a look http://www/ , when you have some time. I am not the #1 boss but I am #2; don’t know what you call that in Korean, Assistant General Manager?? I have 408 rooms and you can see entire Washington DC from your room. And I can take you out to my favorite restaurants. Or you can come and stay with me and my cat. If I go to Korea, it will be around October or November. I don’t want to go to Korea when it’s hot in summer.

I was talking to my mother yesterday; she wanted me to get some “Chu Eah Tang (mikuragi soup)” for winter. But I don’t eat fish. The only fish I eat will be sashimi and little bit of sushi. Otherwise I don’t eat any fish at all. My mother thinks that will help the winter health for me.

If you have any picture of your Junior, may I have one? That would be nice on my computer wallpaper. I used some of your pictures of food for my wallpaper and it looks really nice. I told my oldest son that I am ready for a Grandson; he laughed and said he is NOT ready. Aigoya! He is 28 and doesn’t want a baby… I told him that I am getting old and need a grand baby soon.

If you need anything, please let me know.

Take care. XOXOXO to Junior.

안녕하세요 ^^

집에서 노는 아줌마가 뭐 바쁠 게 있나요. 노느라구 바쁘죠 ^^ ㅋㅋ
블로그에 요즘 유행하는 한국어가 많이 나와서 이해 못하실 게 많을꺼 같아서 궁금했는데
다행히 이해하시는 데 큰 어려움이 없다고 하시니 좋네요.
혹시 넘 궁금하신 한국어라던가 도대체 무슨 뜻인지 짐작도 가지 않는
이상한 단어가 있다면 개의치 말고 물어봐주세요
ㅋㅋㅋ 제가 자세하게 설명해드릴께요.

근데 아들만 셋이 있으시다구요? 아이고........ 키우느라 얼마나 힘드셨을지 말씀 안하셔도
저절로 짐작이 되네요. 저는 꼬맹이 하나 키우느라고 쩔쩔매는데 말이에요.
항상 지금이 제일 귀여운 때라고 자기암시는 하지만 자꾸 까먹고 말 안들으면
혼내고, 밥 안먹으면 혼내고, 바지에 쉬야하면 혼내고 ㅋㅋ 그 꼬맹이한테 혼낼 일이 뭐가 이리 많은지..
오늘은 혼내지 말구 이쁘다 이쁘다 많이 해줘야겠네요.

미국에는.. 만일 가게 된다면 올해 가야 조금 편하게 놀다가 올 수 있을텐데
아직 아기가 어려서 외국으로 오래 비행기타구 가야 한다는 부담이 커서
선뜻 움직이기는 힘들 것 같아요.
나중에 기회가 되서 워싱턴 D.C에도 갈 일이 생기면 좋겠네요.
혹 가게 되면 4월에 맞춰 벚꽃피는 걸 열심히 보고 올 수 있게 맞춰서 가도록 해볼께요 ^^

빈틈주니어한테 이모의 빅 키스와 허그를 전해주겠습니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
참
미우나 고우나는 서울에선 이미 한참 지나서 뒷 얘기도 저는 이미 다 알구 있지요~~~ ^^;;;;
미리 알려드리면 재미없으실테니 내용은 알려드리지 않을께요.
재미있는 스토리가 계속 진행되니 미우나 고우나 열심히 보세요 ㅋㅋ
저도 무지 재밌게 보구 있어요.
오늘도 좋은 하루 보내시구요 ^^

Dear Beentm,

It’s so nice to hear from you. I was wandering if you ever got my e-mail. Thank you so much for your response.
I read your blog page everyday.
Yes, I can read Korean. I just cannot type in Korean from my computer. It will take too long. L
I LOVE your blog page and enjoy your pictures as well.
I cannot cook Korean food but love to eat. So one day I thought I would learn how to cook Korean food and went to menupan.com to look through the recipes and you had recipes for something yummy and a link to follow. Out of the curiosity, I clicked on your link and viola! I was at your site. I was so happy to read your blogs and looking at the pictures.
You are a great commentator and actually entice people with your words to eat good food.
Great baker as well. Your cake decoration is so original and beautiful. I wish I can do that. But I cannot even make rice. I buy the microwaveable rice for $1.49. It’s not too bad.
When I read your blog, I feel like I am connected to HOME! I miss Korea so much. I will go home in either September or October this year to see my mother, brothers and sister. They live in Seoul, Daejeon and Busan. I was home two years ago for two weeks but it was NOT enough time for me to enjoy things you have on your site.

How old is your Junior??? He is so cute…I love the picture of his graffiti on your refrigerator. I laughed so hard.

Please keep up the good work! Just think of me who enjoy your blog everyday with a cup of morning coffee. Your words start my day with smile.

Thank you for your time, I do appreciate it and hope to hear from you again. I love to read in Korean; don’t want to forget my mother language. I watch Korean Soap Opera, Miuna Gouna (likeable or not) everyday.

Take care of yourself and family.

안녕하세요. ^^ 제 블로그 오셨었다니.. 그럼 한국어도 읽으실 수 있는 거죠?
어설픈 영어로 답장을 쓸까 하다가 ^^ 자세히 읽어보니 한국어를 읽고, 이해하시니 제 블로그에 오신다는 것 같아서
한국어로 답장을 드립니다.

답변 늦게 드려서 죄송해요. 이 계정으로는 메일이 거의 안와서 제가 체크를 못했네요.
인터넷 익스플로러에서 즐겨찾기 추가가 왜 안되는지 잘 모르겠네요.
제가 특별히 막아놓거나 한 건 없어서요.. 가끔 접근이 잘 안되서 firefox라는 browser를 쓰는 분들도
계신다고 들은 것도 같은데 특별히 이런 문제가 있다고 들은 바는 없네요.
도움을 못 드려서 죄송해요.

별로 구경할 게 없는 블로그인데 와서 재밌게 봐 주신다니 저도 좋네요 ^^
어떻게 하다 제 블로그를 찾게 되셨는지도 궁금해지구요..

한국에 오셔서 가실만한 곳을 열심히 탐방하여 그전처럼 계속 포스팅 하겠습니다.
작게나마 도움이 되셨으면 좋겠어요.

못난이 저희 주니어 이쁘게 칭찬해주셔서 고맙습니다. ^^
혹 한국어 메일을 못 읽으신다면 다시 말씀해주세요 짧은 영어로 메일을 다시 보내드릴께요 ^^;;

답신 늦은 점 다시 한 번 사과드리구요
앞으로는 메일 체크 자주 할께요 ^^

혹시 한국어 메일을 못 읽으실까봐 영어로도 짧게 ^^;; 인사를 남겨봅니다.

Killing Time

2008-05-12T12:08:00.000-07:00

To kill time till Nimarta brings Mayshia to see me, I looked over some other people's blog pages. I still don't know how this blogging works and what purpose it serves others. But I do realized that my blogs don't have anything theme.
It doesn't have any interest. It doesn't have any focus. It has nothing.
Just a blah, blah, blah...
I see some awsome bloggers with theme and purpose of some sort but it escaped me.
I am using this page to remember things and log what I did or about to do.
I wish I can blog like Young Eun. She has a theme, FOOD!
I am planing to purchase a camera where I can take pictures of food I eat. That would be gross.

After

2008-05-12T04:26:00.000-07:00

Called my mother this morning...to let her know that she can get some money tomorrow morning. It's belated Mother's Day gift.
She complaint that none of my brothers were taking care of my mother. They didn't even come over for the Mother's day.
It's making me sick. Perhaps this is what I should look forward to? No daugther to think of me?
I think she should come and live with me.
I will take care of her.

I am so glad that Joshua's wedding is over without me killing somebody. It's done.

Things that made me sick

2008-05-09T07:49:00.001-07:00

16세기에 실존했던 인물로 예언자의 왕이라 불리며 세계 종말의 예언을 한 노스트라다무스. 그가 예언한 바에 따르면 3명의 적그리스도가 나타나게 되며 서기 2000년 이전에 하늘과 땅을 흔드는 참혹한 전쟁이 세상을 휩쓸게 될 것이라 했다.첫번째 적그리스도는 혼돈의 천사장이라고 표현을 했는데 이는 '나폴레옹'을 지적하는 것으로 그의 야망은 유럽의 구질서를 정복하는 것이며 그 대가로 2백만 명의 목숨의 희생되었으며 14년간의 전쟁으로 지속됐다.두번째 적그리스도는 서유럽 깊은 곳에서 한 아이가 가난한 사람들에게서 태어날 것이며 그의 말은 거대한 군중을 선동할 것이라 예언이 전해지는데, 노스트라다무스는 그의 이름을 히스터(Hister)라고 밝혔으며 이는 다뉴브강 지역에서 사용되던 고어로 '히틀러'를 정확히 의미하는 것이다. 히틀러는 6년 동안 5천만 명의 사람을 죽이는 대학살을 일으킨 장본인이었다.그러나 아직 세번째 적그리스도는 나타나지 않았다. 예언에 따르면 마부스(Mabus)라는 이름을 가진 제 3의 적그리스도가 나타난다고 전해지며 세계는 그의 출세와 더불어 상상을 초월하는 무시무시한 전쟁의 공포에 빠지게 되며 그 절정에 이르러서는 혹독한 기아와 대환란 끝에 인간들 서로가 잡아먹는 살육전을 보게 되리라고 전하고 있다.1999년 세계가 멸망한다는 노스트라다무스의 예언은 빗나가고, 지금 현대인들은 2008년을 살아가고 있다.그러나 이것은 잘못된 예언은 아니다. 아직 세번째 적그리스도에 대한 진실이 밝혀지지 않았다.지금 여기, 21세기를 살아가는 낚시의 왕. 노스트라뿌리무스가 충격! 대예언을 현대적으로 재해석하겠다.마부스의 영문 스펠링을 보라. Mabus. 여기서 맨 앞의 M과 중간의 B를 빼서 하나로 합치면..MB가 된다. 즉 MB의 정체는 실은 노스트라다무스의 대예언에 나오는 세번째 적그리스도였던 것이다!예언에 따르면 마부스는 예루살렘에 태어났지만 유대인은 아니라고 전해지지만, 실은 이것이 일본 오사카에서 태어났지만 일본인은 아닌 것이었다. 또한 마부스는 기독교 내부의 적이라 하는데 이는 MB가 서울 시장 때 서울시를 하느님께 봉헌한다는 발언을 하고 기독교 문화 사업 재정지원 건당 천만원을 책정하여 국민들이 기독교에 반감을 갖게 만듬으로써 고도로 까는 행위다.노스트라다무스가 아들 세자르에게 보낸 예언의 편지에 다르면 적그리스도 출현 후 인류는 물과 불의 대이변을 겪게 된다고 나와있다. 여기서 물의 이변은 '대운하'로 대운하 프로젝트를 강행함에 따라 한국의 자연이 훼손되고 산이 깍여져 나가 거대한 홍수 피해가 발생하는 것을 의미한다. 불의 이변은 지난 10년 동안 김대중, 노무현 정권의 태그트리를 타서 북한과 유화 정책을 펼친 것을. MB가 선제타격론을 거론하여 도발한 결과 역도 취급을 받으며 그동안 쌓아올린 우호 관계를 깨트리면서 전쟁 위협을 불사하게 됐기에 여기서 불의 이변이 파생되는 것이다.그러나 MB의 본성은 사악한 것이 아니라 성스러운 것이며 사실은 신의 명령을 받고 이 땅을 정화하기 위해 강림한 사도이다. 여기서 노스트라다무스의 예언을 뛰어넘어 신약 성서의 종장, 요한 계시록까지 이어지는 것이다.MB가 당선되고 딴나라당이 총선에서 승리하면서 정부-여당의 절대 권력이 탄생했다. 딴나라당 의원들은 사실 그 정체가 인간이 아닌 천사로 전생에서부터 MB를 보좌해온 대천사들이다. 그렇기 때문에 MB는 BBK 의혹에도 불구하고 신의 가호를 받아 대통령에 당선된 것이다.첫번째 천사가 나타나 나팔을 불었다. 그러자 MB가 시장 시절 숭례문을 개방하여 대통령 당선 후 숭례문이 불타 전소되면서 대한민국의 국운이 다했음을 알린다.두번째 천사가 나타나 나팔을 불었다. 그러자 영어 몰입 교육이 시행되어 모든 학교에서 수업을 영어로 가르치는 바람에 대한민국의 언어 한글은 사라지고 영어만이 남아 국적불명의 돌연변이들을 양성했다.세번째 천사가 나타나 나팔을 불었다. 그러자 부시와 일촌 맺고 카트 운전한 대가로 아낌없이 주는 나무가 되어 졸속 통과된 한미 FTA에 의해 농가들이 줄지어 도산하고 더 이상 자급자족할 수 없는 상황에서 돈 없는 서민들 사이에서 기아가 확산된다.네번째 천사가 나타나 나팔을 불었다. 그러자 지난 수년 간 추진되어 온 친일파 청산법이 폐지되면서 뉴라이트 교과서가 역사를 왜곡시키고 MB는 방일하여 일왕을 천왕 폐하라 존칭하며 허리 숙여 악수한다.다섯번째 천사가 나타나 나팔을 불었다. 그러자 의료보험 민영화로 인해 치료비가 천문학적으로 불어나 사람들은 아주 작은 병 하나 병원가서 치료받지 못하고 죽음만을 기다린다.여섯번째 천사가 나타나 나팔을 불었다. 그러자 이데온. 아니 대운하 소드에 의해 국토가 반으로 쪼개지면서 전국 방방 곳곳에서 홍수가 발생하고 환경이 파괴되고 물은 오염되어 아무도 마시지 못하게 됐다.일곱번째 천사가 나타나 나팔을 불었다. 그러자 30개월 이상 병든 쇠고기 수입 완전 개방으로 인하여 광우병이 발생하고 면역이 안 된 대한민국의 국민들은 15년 잠복기를 가진 잠재적 전염병을 얻게 되어 끔찍한 죽음의 선고를 받게 됐다.사실 미국산 쇠고기 개방과 의료보험 민영화는 연속 콤보다. 미국산 쇠고기를 먹고 광우병에 걸린 사람들은 과다한 의료비를 지불하지 못해 집에 처박혀 시름시름 앓다가 죽으니 세상 천지에 이보다 더 강력한 테그트리는 없다. 여기서 추가로 물 민영화로 인해 사람들은 물을 제대로 마시지도 쓰지도 못하는데, 거기에 대운하 효과로 인하여 물이 더럽혀져 돈을 주고 사지 않으면 않게 되었으니. 먹는 것을 금하고. 마시는 것을 금하고. 치료 받는 것을 금하게 되는 것이며 모든 걸 종합해 보면 이 현상 자체가 가히 21세기의 새로운 흑사병이라 할 수 있겠다.이것이야말로 진정한 대한민국 인류 말살 작전의 시작인 것이다. 오로지 돈있고 권세있는 사람들만이 살아남을지니 그 수는 144000명이 될 것이다. 천황 폐하 만세 일본과 유감 표명 중국 등 저자세에 굴욕적인 외교를 펼친 것은 바로 이 때를 위한 것. 쇠고기 개방을 비롯해 주한미군 방위 예산 전액 부담 등 미국의 후장을 핥아준 것 또한 아무 생각없이 한 일이 아니다. 대운하와 광우병으로 인해 철저하게 파괴되고 오염되어 죽음의 땅으로 변한 한국을 버리고 이중국적 허용으로 각각 미국, 일본, 중국으로 빠져나갈 수 있는 루트를 만들어 놓았다. 영어 몰입 교육을 시행한 것도 바로 이 같은 일의 대비인 것. 영어는 일본, 중국에서도 통하는 글로벌한, 세계의 언어인 것이다!그리하여 버려진 땅에 시체만 가득한 곳은 미국의 52번째 주로 편입된다. 중동 제패 및 중국 견재를 위한 일환으로 생화학 무기를 실험하다가 방사능 물질이 유출되어, 땅 밑에 묻힌 4천만 시체들이 좀비가 되어 되살아나 전 세계로 뻗어나가며 마침내 지구는 좀비로 뒤덮여 멸망을 하게 되고. 무사히 임무를 다 마친 MB와 그가 구원한 144000명의 부자들은 하늘로 승천하여 천년왕국에서 영화를 누리고 신은 지상으로 강림하여 신세계를 만든다.

사자자리의 전설
옛날 달에서 유성하나가 네메아 계곡에 떨어져 황금사자로 변해서 사람들에게 공포를 주었지요. 결국 에우리테우스왕이 헤라클레스에게 사자를 없애도록 했답니다 헤라클레스는 여러 가지 무기로 사자와 싸웠으나 어떤 날카로운 창으로도 사자를 찌를수가 없었답니다. 결국 헤라클레스는 맨손으로 사자의 목을 졸려 죽였다고합니다. 이로써 사람들은 공포에서 해방되었고 헤라클레스는 어떤 날카로운 무기도 뚫지못하는 사자가죽을 얻게 되었지요. 신화에 나오는 헤라클레스가 입고 있는 가죽옷이 바로 황금사자의 가죽이지요 . 제우스는 아들의 승리를 기념하기위하여 사자를 하늘의 별자리로 만들어 모든 사람들이 헤라클레스의 용감한 행동을 기억하도록 했다고 합니다.
타고난 성격강한 자신감과 곤란을 극복하는 끈기 그리고 자신의 생각만이 절대적이라고 믿는 강한 개성의 소유자입니다 불가능이 없다는 신념을 갖고 있으므로 어떠한 난관에 부딫치더라도 포기하기보다는 의연히 헤처나가는 타입입니다 뚜렷한 개성과 고상한 기풍 그리고 당당한 위엄으로 주위에 많은 사람이 따르게 되며 리더쉽도 뛰어난 편입니다 다른 사람의 지배를 받거나 명령받기를 싫어하며 매사를 자기위주로 하려고하다 일을 그르칠수도 있읍니다 당신의 인생은 비약적이며 굴곡이 심한 편이어서 일찍부터 재물을 모을수 있으나 몇차례의 실패가 예상됩니다 빈틈없고 냉정한 사람처럼 보이나 내성은 고독하고 감수성을 지닌 비교적 여린 마음의 소유자 입니다.

Pay Day Friday

2008-05-09T04:39:00.000-07:00

Friday is always good...but pay day make it much yummy.
Rained hard on my commute to work this morning....but cannot miss the Friday excitement and pay day. Especially it's live check today. We are doing our ghost audit and all checks are cut live. That means I need to run out to bank at lunch time and deposit the check to cover my expenses.
Let's see what I need to a pay with this check....
AX 200, VISA(2) 200, light bill 100, car payment 510, student loan 440, savings 500, and what else??? Phewwwwwwwwwwwww! It's all gone already.
I need to pay for rest of Joshua's reception 700, send money to mom 1000, buy yaki mandoo 200, gas....????
Yikes....I don't know if I own the bills or bills own me anymore.
Now come to think of it, Pay Day is not that great thing for me to be excited about.
Perhaps I will have a dinner.
Doh. I forgot, A/C instalation 4200.
Put a fork in me, I am done.
How depressing! No wonder why I want to resolve it with food. Hahahaha....

Colone Cleanser

2008-05-08T07:14:00.001-07:00

Talked to Tammy yesterday. I have not seen her since the last Interstate holiday party in January. She looked so thin and great. I asked her for a secret and she introduced me to a website http://www.blessedherbs.com/ and pointed me to the two weeks Colon cleaning program. I was fooled by so many other diet gimmicks but I see the size Tammy was in, yet again I wanted to try.
I have boxes and boxes of diet tea that I bought from the website with skinny Chinese guy was selling. Did it work? Hell, no.
I have boxes of unopen Nutri Syetem food that shelf life expired a year ago. Did it work? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am so gullible when it comes to diet gimmicks. So what they hell, flipped my American Express and bought the damned thing for 90 bucks.
I will try, but no guarantees. I hate my fat body. I wish I can just wake up and have perfect body. Hahaha!

Chad's arrival

2008-05-08T07:09:00.000-07:00

Chad is coming in this evening for Joshua's wedding. I won't be able to pick him up from the airport since I have to meet with Tony for our HVAC replacement issue. Mike offered to pick him up, which worked out fine. Mike is good with this type of resolution. He is a good man, always there for my three boys. I am not sure if I've been good to his daughter Stephanie??
I am sure not. I will try harder next time.
I am very excite to see Chad. I wish he is close by but too far. Now Joshua is going to leave me as well. How often do would I see him? It really breaks my heart. I wish I can hold on to him little longer.

Cafeteria Food

2008-05-07T04:31:00.000-07:00

It really sucks. Do they know perhaps this is the only hot meal some of my employees get a day? Some cannot afford too eat any more.

I love you, my baby. I wish you can stay happy forever and ever. Mommy is always here for you.

Joshua 1

Things happen with reason. His choice to marry Lizzie is perhaps stemmed from my failure of marriage to Kenny. I wasn't there for him in most important time of his life to teach and show the right and wrong. He craved love and compassion which I wasn't able to fulfill both him and his brother, Brandon. Joshua went out looking for a love and he feels that Lizzie is it. Perhaps she is. But why do I feel so crapy about it? Why can I not happy for him?
I had dreams of my children growing up and doing something special and important. May be get so famous and leave the name and legacy.
That dream deminishing rapidly everyday. I love my kids so very much and this is the first time I feel I failed them all.
I wasn't a good mother. I was selfish and self-centered. I pursuited my career than my kids well being and happiness.
Oh how I wish I can make that up with them! I wish I go back time and never leave Kenny no matter how difficult I was living with him. It's all my fault. I should have stayed and endured. It's all my fault.
I love you, Joshua. I hope some day you will forgive me for everything.
I wish you happiness. I hope you find your peace in life and do your best for the hand that's been dealt to you. I love you, Joshua.

My heart breaks. It's unfortunate that he chose to marry at his age.

My pretty kitty. Can you believe somebody gave him to animal shelter just because he missed his potty? Well, it's their lost, my gain. I love him so much.

What I want for Christmas

2008-05-05T06:28:00.001-07:00

I want a Hello Kitty rifle.

This is what I want for my Christmas. Somebody loved her enough to make her rifle pretty. I want one.

Debbie

2008-05-05T03:42:00.000-07:00

I don't know how many years I've been friends with Debbie...25 years? But it's always good to see and hang out with her.

We went shoping. For a dress to wear on my son, Joshua's wedding on Saturday. I didn't get any but got plenty depressed. I need to be on a diet. Diet!

I thought I was size 8, then quickly corrected by don't-pass-the-thigh dresses...then I thought 10 would do it. But yet again, corrected by unzipping dresses. Phew.... I know I have nobody to blame but me...but it really sucks.

In last five years, I've gained 55 pounds. I rolled several possible diet programs in my heads but I don't think I am committed it right now. See the picture closely and you will see how fat my gut is. I looked pregnent. That was four months ago and now it's getting worse. I guess I am looking for a miracle to just shave the fat off of my body while I am sleeping. So many so called diet aids I spent money on. I have boxes and boxes of some herbal tea...I have boxes of Nutrie System food that is out dated shelf life by a year.

What am I to do? I am so depressed.

This was from my eldest son, Chad's 28th birthday party in Fort Lauderdale. The theme was 80's but I think we failed. But I am so happy I was able to have all three of my sons together. I think this would be one of the last time we can get together. Joshua will be leaving soon to join the Air Force and don't know when I will get to see him.

I've been living in DC/Northern Va area for last five years but this was my first attempt to the "Cherry Blossom" festival. But I was too late.

Read many blogs but never thought I will have my own blog page. I don't know I will have same interest in blogging next week but I wanted to try at least once. It's really confusing but I am going to try to have some fun with my broken English and all.
