| The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
Broken, Lifehouse

| Looking at my friend's status updates on Facebook, it looks like this has been and is going to be a fantastic summer. This past weekend, which flew by too quickly, was apparently the weekend of OC FAIR (Orange County), COMICON (San Diego), and Garlic Festival (Bay area). That's pretty cool. On various weekends, people are driving up to Napa to indulge in wine, sun, and French or Italian cuisine. They go to Santa Cruz to salsa dance by the beach during dusk as the sun sets.
Or they can spend it like me. Listening to spanish guitar outdoors with a bit of sangria to drink and ceviche to munch on. Watching a summer movie with horrid reviews from the critics and then talking about it (The Ugly Truth) at Dave n Busters for hours. Ending the night with a rousing game of air hockey and making new friends who are funny, smart, and really easy to talk to.
So, despite a bit of disappointment and bruised ego on my end, I have found a way to get up, shake off the dust, and move on with the help of really good friends. Life is too short to be indecisive and too great to waste it on drama. If you're feeling down or stuck in your own mind, GET UP AND MOVE AROUND. Dance. Sing. Steal Things. Wait, that's Jason Mraz's line. My cure for a bad day is to hang out with my grandma, pray, call my twin, chill with my best friends, watch a funny movie, and anything that will get me out of the house and off my butt.
I realized that I'm truly blessed and at this moment am truly grateful.

| so while my cousins, brothers, and i were chilling at the hospital with grandma nai nai, cousin james and cousin connie would keep her entertained by playing games, performing silly stunts, and asking funny questions. most of it got pretty convoluted and giggly but last night there was that that was particularly sweet.
james: wai pwo, let's say there were four jimmys. a stupid jimmy, a rich jimmy, a smart jimmy, and a handsome jimmy. which jimmy would you love most?
grandma: the stupid jimmy
james: WHY?!
grandma: because he has a good heart. (yin wei ta xin hao)
connie: what if stupid jimmy had an evil heart. would you still love him?
<pause>
grandma: yes. because he is my grandson.
aww... unconditional love rocks.

| Seoul is so clean and orderly...
Cute guys. Kevin we met at Bong House and he was soooo sweet. Mr. Bong (adorable), Kevin(flirtatious), and C(studly) took us to delicious places to eat, ordered for us in Korean, helped us prepare the food, and made sure our Seoul experience was memorable.
 
Its lovely to see a man - bad boy style - COOK for us. That is unbelievable sexy.
 
Gandalf? What are you doing here... 
Cool tatoo on a handsome guy. I asked to take his picture.
 
Wow, 3 story Dunkin Donuts... I can imagine reading a book or just drinking hot chocolate and conversing on the top floor after a long day of work.
 
 
Away we go!
   
We ate a yummy restaurant shaped like a castle. Dining outside on a lovely evening is perfect with good company, sizzling meat, and the right amount of beer and soju.
 
Spicy chicken, medium chicken stuffed with rice, salty chicken. <3
Afterwards, we went out for My's birthday. That included drinks and
 
pool at Bong Bar, shots at 8pal(1), shots and dancing at BUNKER!
I LOVE THIS SHOT of April and Corey. Very natural as they were laughing at my forgetting Corey's name.
 
 
We had soondooboo soft tofu for lunch the next day. Eggs in a nest.
Michael (Brit with a toothpick in his mouth) kinda looks like Channing Tatum and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, right? Hot boys!
 
The gals wanted to shopping at Dong Dae Mun so we did. I didn't buy anything but I really like the clean cut boyish look.
   
I love eating outside. We had korean bbq (steak and spicy pork).
Mr. Bong took us to a cafe where every drink was 2000 Won.
Below is My, April, and traveller Lily from Singapore.
Kevin was SO cute to say goodbye to us in the early morning right before we got on our airbus. We got to Taipei early so April and got our hair washed and ended the Asia trip with a STRONG margarita at her friend's awesome restaurant.
