knew it!

I knew this would happen!! Just like my countless journals, my good intentions to write regularly don’t seem to be enough for me to actually keep it up for more than a few months. So I am making a new, more realistic goal of writing a blog at least once a month.

I think the main reason why I haven’t written is that my life doesn’t seem all that different than my life back in Canada, so why would anybody want to read about it? There are definitely some distinct differences, such as holidays and the whole language thing, but for the most part my day to day life is not all that ‘foreign’. I have a new kindergarten class, with 12 gorgeous 4-year-olds and I moved into a larger apartment (no more living in a shoebox!). I still go to the gym regularly and have started going to Judo practices once or twice a week.

Practicing our backwards break falls. I never knew falling was so technical.

The weekends usually bring about some kind of excitement, whether it be partying, shopping or just wearing flip flops to the corner store for the first time of the season (like today :D!!). This weekend was a big one, being St. Patrick’s day. I went with some friends on an all-you-can-drink booze cruise which was lots of fun but could have been longer.

This past Wednesday was a Korean holiday called “White Day”. Basically, on Valentines Day the girls get their boyfriends candy and presents and treat him really nice for a month until March 14, when the boyfriend gets them candy and gifts. And if you’re dating a Korean woman, it had better be a really nice gift. I only got a couple lollipops, but it still made my day :).

It’s White Day in Japan too!

I’ll leave you with one more K-pop video that I actually like. The music isn’t stellar but the story is super cute and there are some nice shots of (what I assume is) Seoul.
