What’s up???
Wow. I can’t believe how long it has been since I have actually written something on my blog. I keep reblogging quotes and things I find cute, interesting or whatever from other bloggers but in about 4 months I haven’t sat down and wrote something myself. Its sad. Its bad. And it just shows how lazy I am. Or, that I have after months of ups and downs finally settled in in my new environment and I don’t really feel the need to write about it. I am happy where I am. And that’s that. Nothing more. The feeling of being content and at peace only came right after my winter vacation. The 2 weeks in the Philippines and Bali did me wonders! Wow. Wow. Wow. I cannot put into words how much beauty those places offer. I travelled alone and it was the best decision I have ever made. Meeting so many great people and just doing what I want for 2 weeks – lying on the beach, snorkelling, hiking, eating, drinking, boat cruises etc etc. I really want to go back. It was amazing. I also used my break time to try and figure out what I am going to do after Korea. My heart was set on going to Singapore and teaching Speech and Drama there at an Academy but the timing of when I can start there didn’t really fit me. I can only start there in February and my contract in Korea ends in August. So what am I to do for 6 months?? Sit at home and maybe get a waitressing job? No way… sooooo, I am renewing my contract in Korea and I will see how things go and then I can make my move to Singapore next year. I also need to save more money. I haven’t saved 1 cent since I have been here. Not good. Don’t tell my parents.
Oh, and I have a Korean boyfriend. Say what??? Yes. It’s crazy. It happened so unexpectedly and fast that I am still trying to figure out how it actually did happen. Haha. But as they say, things happen when you least expect or want it. So for now I am happy. He doesn’t feel foreign to me at all. I tell him that I still want to see his Korean side because he feels more western to me than some of the other western foreigners here. His English is great so I can just be me and talk as much as I always do and it’s so great to have someone that can speak Korean. A whole new world in Korea has opened up for me and I am really enjoying it. I am still wondering how my older brother and dad will react to this…haha. I told my younger brother and mom, but as you know, dad’s and older brother’s are very protective and I am not in the mood for all the questioning about it all (yet.).
So yeah, that’s about it in a nutshell. Oh, and I am visiting home in about 2 months!!! YAY!!! I CANNOT WAIT ANYMORE!!! :-D

We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can’t always understand them, but we have to trust in them. I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little faith.
