I don't think people with talent necessarily value it, because it all comes so easy to them, and we never value things that come easy to us.

While surfing the net for tempting concert,  I realized the tickets were quite expensive. And from the experience of last Christmas(Went one concert and it was somehow diseastrous and the cost makes me more miserable), I decided to see something more affordable and something that would make my heart pump harder. So I went this basketball game. The tragedy is that you think something is cool which you do not have talent for.
The heat the players poured on the court was so amazing that I wanted to get the season ticket. I still do not know which part is the one that hooked me -basketball or the heat part...

I got this album with Partita on my birthday from K. He said it is a legal way to get high. He also said he knew that I did not like sound of violin so choosed the version with baroque violin which has the softer sound.
Well...I love Bach and I love getting high but it is not that for me. It is kind of organizing something unorganized which is good and at the same time  means kind of something that unbearably calm and  blue and something blue means something chilly.  And unfortunately it's already kind of cold lying down in my room without sleeping socks. I cannot and do not want to add one bit of chill to my already  freezing December space.
When spring comes, I will think about it again. Sorry K.









Laziana, Pizza Express, Stanley.HK
One of the things that imporessed me at HK is that people looked happy. It is maybe because of that I stayed at the tourist area or because I was lucky enough to meet only nice people or my mood was on top so I felt everything was nice when it really wasn't. Whatever the reason was, the waiters/waitresses were kind enough to make me try to find bottom line of hour salary of HK when I got back to Korea.
Suprisingly, it was lower than Korea's.
...
One of the restaurants with top service was Pizza Express, Stanley.  The attendants were nice. Not nice because it is their job but nice from the bottom of they heart touch. Taste of the food? It was excellent , too. 
























Cranberry Scon
When I said 'He seems nice but... he talks a lot.', she said  'It is one thing that shows he's a good person. Think of anyone who is mean and talks a lot'
Well...
then I have a problem to get along with good people.


































Ordering a cookbook for another reason

I got the cookbook that I ordered last night. The thing is this book came with an unexpected gift which is....
























a slice of SPAM!!! =)
Now I  have a few neighbors that I am supposed to pass this good news to...




















 Vietnamese rice wraps-hmm...is it just boom in Korea or all over the world?

Is it just me or... me and million? whenever I plan a trip, I think of something dreadful like ... an earthquake, swine flu or airplane falling down. Maybe it is because I don't want to take a trip really deep inside ,or maybe because I do not want to change things,maybe i do not want to leave things I am used to. but just like saturday afternoon swimmings or taking a walk in olympic park at night, there are things which you don't want to do in the first place but are glad that you did afterwards. maybe this trip thing might be the one for me. the thing I have to do. the thing I won't regreat after some time passed. there is just tiny one problem. I do not know where to go. I envy people who have tens of thousands of friends all over the world and go and visit them from time to time. In that case you don't need to worry about your destination. I have dreamed this day for well...one tenth century working , dreaming of saying ' I quit' to my boss with a smile and leave for a faraway place. Still.... I haven't even planned where to go. How not movie like! still, this V-wraps are really good. Maybe vietnam could be my answer..
