| T-minus 10.approximately 10 days till i go home. curious.
Hi mom. apparently you look at my xanga a lot and i've not been updating recently so this one is to a degree dedicated to you.
Guess who's here? mi padre esta aqui! i've honestly been looking forward to spending some time with my dad in korea cuz my dad and i have been busy these last 20 years. honestly one of the farthest things in my mind was for me and my dad to be in korea together but now that we're here, i don't think there are very many things cooler. it's kinda weird how today, the first day we spent time together, i couldn't help wonder if a moment like this would ever happen again. just me and my dad (no mom or bro) in korea together, i figured that the chances were slim so hopefully i appreciate what i have here while i have it. (that's a good lesson kids, write that one down... right next to 11x11=121 and shake with your right hand while in india).
my dad took this amazing photograph. amazing right? haha, well, so he's no ansel adams but i like giving more credit than necessary.
here's us at a sushi restaurant first night dad is here. (from front to back: grandma, grandpa, me, pa, pa's hs friend).
ok, it's a short post, but tonight was fun.
oh, and since i talked about my dad i'll give some love to bro and mom too. first, bro...
bro... your cool. haha, that's it. your a better person than me and i'm dang lucky.
and mom... i'll share a story about u and in turn how weak me and my cool bro are. looong time ago me and bro came to korea... we were lil kids and we stayed with above grandparents... APPARENTLY we got home sick... and we were sad... and my mom found out. one day my grandpa says, hey we have to go to airport to pick up my friend. he told us we were picking up his friend who was a monk, and thus bald... we were young so he told us not to laugh, so we went to the airport preparing not to laugh at this monk, not because we were going to laugh.. but we were kids and stupid and if someone says don't laugh at someone when you see them... when you see them u'll probably laugh. anyways, as we're waiting who should come out but mom... this is where the camera goes to wide-angle slo-mo shot cuz we go rushing out to meet her and end credits roll up. so that's my mom in a nutshell, always worried and willing to fly half-way around the world to make me and bro even a tiny bit happy. much love to her.
ok, that's it... oh, and to everyone who asks "what do u do in korea". here's a sum up... lotsa sleep, "wine" tasting... in the form of soju... and lotsa pool with albert... we want once and for all to settle who is the better player. best outta 100. we played 93 times. ;) i have 51. SO! it's official, the rest of the 7 games are just fo show... I WIN! PUHAHAHA!
for those of us who know albert, let us take a moment to remember how bee-jus he probably is... ok, that's enough.. now here's a short clip of me playing pool like 5 years ago to celebrate.
adios.

| nothing to do with korea...this isn't an update of my trip, actually it has very little to do with anything except that by watching a french movie with korean subtitles.. and subsequently having no idea what's going on, i remembered something i really liked....
no, i don't like this man... i do like what he does... he's the real life spiderman, his name is David (pronounced daveeeed cuz he's French) Belle. if you go to youtube and watch his clips you'll know why... he was one of the inventors of this movement called le parkour, better known to some people as free-running. if you guys remember a while back those nike commercials where guys just run around and jump on and off buildings and stuff, that's what it is. here's a link in case u wanna know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBapQdXxGKg
anyways, i was watching a movie called yamakasi (which means something in the line of modern day samurai or something like that) and my memory was refreshed, thus i got on the internet and did some watching and research and decided to let people know about this even if they never get around to doing any of it.
random picture of james bond? hardly! apparently another guy from the yamakasi crew is in this movie and just thought it was an interesting sidenote and another reason for people to go see this movie. the trailer looks cool and it comes out 5 days after i get back so guess where i'll be!
anyways, that's it. korea is still great, i sleep a lot which apparently allows the release of leptin which in turn tells the brain it's full so i'm kinda losing weight just by being here cuz i don't eat as much (consequently when u are sleep deprived ur body makes less leptin and more ghrelin which is a hormone that makes u hungry so when u eat late at night and get munchies during finals week there's a reason).... and that's the end of this public service announcement.
watch david belle. watch yamakasi. watch le parkour. watch bond, james bond.
random note: just wanted to say how cool my girl sarah is =) she was totally ok with me having a dream i was married to hyori, she's everywhere here and i guess it slipped into my subconscious... though....i guess it helped that in the dream we had a miserable marriage and i never saw her. haha, but sarah is still cool, no? =D
