Clapton in Concert

Yup, that's right folks... you read it here first. Eric Clapton had a concert here in Korea tonight and I went... for a huge price of course, but it was fun. I went with a huge group of people from school and it was so much fun. We danced, clapped, laughed and shared a quick drink before going. Although, Clapton only gave one "ankle - Korean for encore."
Maybe there will be more odd concert details in the future, but for now... gotta go to sleep... two late nights in a row (I am beginning to sound like such a grandma!!).

Nighty-night dearies.

A New Diet and Money Saving Plan!!

That's right all you diet hungry folk out there... here is the new plan, and it won't cost you anything... in fact, if you work it like I did, you will actually save money!! Ready for it? Here it is: Get the flu that keeps coming back!! I have had it twice this week and so instead of dropping in on a wine party, birthday party and a going away party, I am sitting at home in my sweats doing my best to keep the little I am able to eat down... gross, I know... but there is always a positive side, right? Well... here is my take on the positive side of this: I've been wanting to jump start a more healthy eating lifestyle by monitoring my portions and I've also been concerned about going out too much and spending too much money. Well, the flu that keeps coming back is so the answer!! I can't go out because I feel horrible for the moment (seems to go away after 24 hours and come back in 4 or 5 days for another round) and so that saves me money and from injesting huge numbers of calories at all these gatherings I am supposed to be at. See? There is an up side... there is always an up side!!

Too Many Passwords...

Have you ever come to the realisation that you have too many passwords? I have recently... I have this site, myspace.com, a couple of friend sites, my 3 email addresses (not counting the school ones), my student blog site, a couple of shopping sites and a WAYN.com site... and all of them have slightly different passwords!! Do you think I can keep track?! Of course not... I am utterly lost most of the time and have to ask the computer to send it to my email (which I do remember all of the time, amazing how important communication can be, isn't it?) almost every other week. Yikes!
Here is the real shame though, that we need to have all these cryptic passwords in the first place. I understand the need, but what does that say about society in general? No honor in the honor system anymore is there? Hm... deep thoughts... ha ha ha... yea, right!
Well, something for you to chew on. Enjoy.
Next time... existentialism....

Getting ready to leave...

Just a couple more days before I go home. Sounds strange to say it like that, but Korea is more home to me than Canada at the moment. I love coming here, and I love being with friends and family, but I miss my life in Korea... believe it or not folks, I actually have one!! So back to that in a few days!!!
For all you in Seoul, I'll be home on Saturday evening! See you then.

Another year come and gone

So the year is almost over... just hours away (about 7.5 hours to be exact) and I sit here and wonder what I have accomplished, and then my mind wanders to what I will resolve not to do or to do for the next year. So... accomplishments: hm... well, I have definitely accomplished the unwanted and unnecessary gain of weight... and I have accomplished almost all of my masters degree (just 3 more courses and a thesis paper to go). So it isn't all bad stuff. But I haven't accomplished as much as I maybe wanted to... I don't know.
Resolutions: hm... I think these are dangerous to make because they kind of set you up for failure, don't they? So I think I will resolve to just try harder in the things that I do and to have a longer list of positive accomplishments this time next year.
Oh... did you hear this one? Apparently (listen up single and desperate ladies) if you wear red undies tonight when the clock strikes midnight you will be guarateed to fall in love and/or get married over the course of the next year... I think as a matter of scientific experiment my friends and I are going to try it... ha ha ha!!! Just kidding!
