On a sweet summer night in June...
we took a trip to the 63 building -- the tallest building in Korea..
Brandon & I rode bikes along the Han River
then had a chance to watch a fun mexican band performance at the rooftop.

*sniff*~you were so good to me-- do forgive me for letting you go....

Dam. That phone should have lasted me 3~5 years, but I apparently wouldn't have been able to take it back to the states.
Though it was a heart-breaking move, I bought a new phone and switched over to SK Telecom.
The cost? Well, let's just say if you combine the value of my two phones in Korea, it's a little over $1100.
Keuk! In America, I used to wince and cringe at the mere thought of an 'unduly expensive' 150-dollar phone.

Well, the trade-off is nice since I now get Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) among other impressive features.
It's amazing how I can listen to the radio and watch TV on the subway.
Take that -- you retarded phones in America that won't even work in the stinkin' elevator or metro!

Korean phones are durable, so I hope I can keep this one for the next 3 years at the least...

Hi everyone,
just thought I'd let you know that I'm still alive
but I haven't quit my workaholic habit
so I'm kinda half-dead really.
I miss so many of you
esp. since the weather is warming up...
  which reminds me,
on gorgeous days like this, we should be out
satiating our taste buds with savory salads & desserts,
window-shopping in Georgetown,
  and laughing our silly heads off about absolutely nothing.
  instead, I'm sitting at home on a fri. night wondering why:

1) my lower back has to disappoint me at all times.
2) my right shoulder is not healing from the last boarding trip.
3) I have ugly toes.

wildly entertaining -- I know.
  I'm a bit exhausted from everything
  so I'm heading to phuket in april
and guam in july.
haven't decided when I'll be returnin' to the states yet
  but i'll let you know soon!

--teehee^^-- take care~

<3 SJ

To one of my best girlfriends, Carol.

You and I have been through some of the craziest episodes together~
from hairy nipples (not ours of course) to angry backstabbing starcraft moments..
I will love you to death Carl, you starcraft-lagging-carrot-top-sexy-monster<3
I wish you & Chuck all the happiness in the world because your beautiful ass deserves it.

Thank you for everything.

H a p p y A n n i v e r s a r y t o Youknow E u n h o & S u j i n

It was a weekend full of romantic surprises.
Here's a pic of EunhoBrandon on our
heart-racing little trip along the Han River in Seoul.

I never ever thought I'd be wearing these darn things,
but my lovely EunhoBrandon surprised me with a (hot) pair of Uggs.

..even though my feet get a tad bit sweaty..
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! *giggle*
if you know what I mean~lol
sheepskin is so nice & warm..

The best part was getting these flowers:

It may look like an ordinary bouquet
but I'd never seen any this bright and beautiful.
Was it because they were given by my sweetheart?

Or was it the fact that it was his first time
giving flowers to a girl..

Look at him all dressed up for me.

At the end of the night,
we were greeted by the first heavy snowfall of the season..

.. which was another wonderful surprise, indeed..
We had a blast playing out in the snow.
Thank you Father for blessing us with so much
love and happiness~

God is wonderful.

- Miss Saigon -

Getting ready for the show--*

Dinner at 'Mad for Garlic' Italian Restaurant in Kangnam.
The pasta and pizza were 'madd' good.

I was really happy when the food came out.. and so was Brandon!

After dinner, we headed over to
Sejong Center for the Performing Arts
for the final showing of 'Miss Saigon'.

And what's a Joolander post without some food and dessert?

Pictured on the left: Went to Starbucks for the first time in Korea.
Spent 15 bucks on 2 Caramel Fraps and a piece of New York Cheesecake.
Robbers. But it was so good. *sob*
Pictured on the right: Garlic Snowy Pizza from 'Mad for Garlic'!

It was one sweet day. <3
