I’m 15 minutes early
And the previous client is 20 minutes late
Bitch! You are going to interfere with my treatment.

Reply less eagerly to his texts, I guess. That will be my retribution.
But after daily barrages of texts and him sleeping on a boat last night (lol), I feel I’ve earned a date night! And It’s NYE! And and! It’s 2:30 pm. If I…
Ask him?
Getting my hair done.
Thank god I like blonde because this hairdresser only does blonde. You would have to fight to get him to do low-lights on your hair.
I have so many dreams about my teeth falling out these days. Mainly it feels like the brackets have all popped off but turns out its my teeth falling out
Apparently that can be about not being in control about a waking life situation. Which would fit with my parents and family ATM.
Or it might just be the fact I have braces and my teeth are actually loose and “click” in real life.

PhD might have the right skiing strategy.
Arrive late at night. Ski all night. Sleep during the day while a million other people are there.
Wake up in the evening and ski all night.
Although I think he probably just drank with his friends last night rather than skiing.
I haven’t spent a night alone (without feeling depressed or crying) in so long. I used to spend weeks without socializing outside of my family.
It’s nice. It took me a day of being depressed and over analyzing and thinking irrationally that PhD actually doesn’t like me.
But I’ve gotten over the hump. I feel secure (well more than I did yesterday and the day before)

Why is Steve Tyler so sexy?
?
Mum phones. My brother was meant to be at the hospital from 1 to 7pm (which seems to be an amazing amount of time for him to commit to. 30 minutes is enough for him)
He’s not answering calls. But that’s not just from her. Myself included. He reads kakao messages that I send but never replies.
She’s apparently about to have a meltdown because she is so anxious. It’s...
I am so fucking over this making the house/car cold that my coworkers keep doing.
On the way here in the car. It would just start to get toasty and my co teacher would wind the window down on both sides at the front . Which maybe isn’t too bad in the front as the wind goes past you and you have the hot air from the vents on you. But I was in the back. Shivering. a lot.
This happened so...
Captain just called (coincidently at the exact same minute PhD finally responded to my messages 3.5 hours ago).
Told Accent. Mentioned I don’t get why Captain is calling. Especially because he is doing it quickly while he can at work (which is if someone likes you- platonically or not) but doesn’t message for a month at a time.
He’s a great guy. Just fallen into the busy...
horrible nightmare where someone was hiding in the shadows in my apartment and grabbed me to kill me. It was PhD. I grabbed a long knife (fool! they were sitting right there) and stabbed him a few times. He ran out of my building, but two girls saw him run out and me follow with a knife. Took their testimony with my iphone video and put the knife in cling wrap.
Went to the police station to make...
Panic!
When you dress for an excursion (I have an overnight international department thing).
And you are the most casual (t-shirt, jeans converse, shirt and the hoodie I wear everyday in the office for warmth). Usually I dress in my normal office outfits even on days like this, but thought I’d better conform this time.
Okay, other people have jeans but fancier tops. And i put Ugg boots on the...
Urgh.
PhD is meeting his friend tonight. I thought he said we would go together. He just meant if he wasn’t meeting his friend we would go [somewhere] together.
Disappointed. But I’ll live.
In a little win for KT vs NSET equality
I don’t have to go to class this period.
All the other teachers have had movies playing or just leaving the students alone in their rooms. I’ve had to go in and do something (easy, playing board games).
But this period I don’t. I got the choice to ‘play board games or just let them be’
…not like I had to fight for it, but sometimes it annoys me that they get...
Baking Market open on Saturdays?
Want to make a pie on the weekend. But I don’t have enough shortening.
I don’t have time to go to the baking market until Saturday. I know they are closed on Sundays. Is the market open on Saturday?
I might just try to order online from the stores. But then again- I might not be able to get it in time for the weekend depending when my bus gets back on Friday
I did see a Korea...

Homeplus....
PhD told me that he walked into my Homeplus Express to buy stuff on the way to mine. The regular lady (usually one of three that work at night) asked why he was alone and where I was.
That’s what I like about my neighborhood (probably similar in other neighborhoods). I feel like the shopkeepers know me, with some of them definitely watching me go by, and I enjoy their little chats.

On a less serious note-
The cashier is scanning every single 12x600ml box. Individually. They are being lifted onto the counter and scanned individually, and he lifts them to the end.
Really? You don’t have a multiple button? You don’t have bulk codes? You don’t want to stop the poor guy from having to do that?
I have a feeling that it’s all for dramatic effect….

Extreme Couponing
Another blogger just alerted me to this show. Watched it.
At first I thought “wow! awesome!” until I saw a couple (“for charity”) clear out an entire store’s shelves of 1200 Lipton Ice Tea 600ml bottles (really??). And in other areas of the store like with hundreds of hundreds of pasta sauce bottles.
Because of sales, combined with their extreme collection of...

Good night.
Coffee and chats followed by a walk to 파전 (disappointing) and walk back mine via the Stamp store to fulfill my longtime desire for a Korean seal (too much signing at the end of every semester plus it’s cool).
In a few days (we came late and he was busy) I will have a seal that has a large end and a small end (not super large) and is self inking. Technically it’s a present from PhD...

PhD isn’t a fan of ice-skating. Just asked him.
Meh, those skates really did hurt last year…I couldn’t get comfortable.

PhD popped by to meet my 언니 after his trip to Daejon. He tells me that he has talked with his seniors a lot about his future. With one idea suggested that he finish his class work in three months then work (on his thesis) until 2013 in Daejon (mon to Friday with weekends in Seoul) with his 선배 then come back and work for one of the big companies in 2013 (as his indefinite job/career)when he has...

you know what, bugger it.
I thought we were cool with not saying ‘yo’ anymore. I thought we agreed, but maybe he just listened to me. But he’s insisting on it with his messages….i’ll stick with it too. I’m just a bit miffed, because I see it as being a distancing thing as all of the people I interact with in Korean (who I consider to be close) I don’t use 요.
Pisses me off, but I...

At the moment, just trying to maintain my own life and not get wrapped up in over-analysing every action (or in my case, non-action) by PhD
Why haven’t I got a text about lunch? Why haven’t I got a text about [blah blah]? (even though he regularly does text, by why not NOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW?)
Uh, because he’s busy. genuinely. Because you have lives, yeah? Just trying to be my own...

she calls me today saying ‘Merry Christmas’ and thinks Korea is a day behind after two years of not knowing it. Okay, easy mistake plus medication she is on causes her to forget things she has done/said and/or be confused.
She tells me she wants my brother’s number, because she doesn’t have it. She apparently doesn’t have the numbers I gave her last night anymore....

For a minute there I believed I had sex with someone on the weekend…and had gotten a disease and now had to deal with that. And had gone back home and was working in a public school there for a week or so
I hate those dreams where it actually has incorporated itself into your memories as genuine

cavaaller replied to your post: Skating at Seoul...
Especially considering I just looked up Grand Hyatt Ice rink at its 15-20 000 won admission. I’ll take the 1000 won crappiness and overcrowded-ness: I’ll probably be over skating after 10 minutes
(oh plus a 15 000 rental fee….that stuff is definitely better kept for a good occassion, I’ve never paid 60 000 won for 2 people to ice-skate before…although...

Just optimistically reserved ice-skating rink tickets at Seoul Plaza for Tues or Wednesday night. At 1 000 won per person, it’s not that expensive if we don’t do it (and even though I’m sure it won’t be sold out, I’m such a stresser that it’s just better for my own state of mind to book in advance wherever possible).
Also on the ice theme, I found a...

So i went an untagged a few photos of him. Because that makes sense- especially because I couldn’t bring myself to untag every one (it would look very angry of me to go and untag every single photo), just about 10 of them- some of them being the ones I know he thinks he looks good in.
I don’t want his profile being pimped with my photos.
I’ve been staring at the photos on his...

Bad sad mood.
Mulled Wine. Presso Beer and Guiness over ice cream.
Telling Scarecrow I have a boyfriend (maybe true) and I can’t meet him anymore.
Snow fight with accent on the way home. Walking into home plus express and explaining to my regular lady why we are covered in snow
Throwing snow balls at Lairs window. Then slamming them into Accents window where Casanova was working....

Out of the shower and my phone rings.
Mum.
I’m on the floor naked now, hugging my Haechi Plush doll and crying it all out hardcore.
She was quite a bit out of it and random. But she told me she has tumors or whatever back. I could barely get confirmation from her about her even having an operation in january so there was no way I was getting more info about malignancy or...

In my attempt to get out of my neighborhood and have a proper date where we spend an extended amount of time talking properly- met PhD at his university.
We got 갈매기살 and I started drinking angrily and aggressively because of how sad I was. Not really crazy but normally I just sip my Soju but I was giving PhD a run for his money. We stayed at that place and had a good talk about everything....

Somehow I’m not Tomato’s friend on facebook anymore?
That would explain why some of his photos (the ones who are ‘friends only) dissapeared a few weeks ago….and why I kept landing on his info page and not his wall (he still has a lot of photos and status that are public). I did ‘unsubscribe’ a few weeks ago (but unless I clicked the wrong button as well, I...
Yeah…she’s in hospital again. At least I think she might be in the secure ward, so I don’t have to worry about her trying to kill herself (although it’s just threats with her, I still can’t stop being worried).
Excerpt from my email to my father, about the phone call I just received
She called me today and I missed her phone calls. Eventually got through to her now, and she’s telling me that she’s going to a “resort” from now to the beginning of January. She was very calm about it and I pretty much know she was lying. I would guess the resort is a hospital? Because she first said...
Fuck
Sitting at lunch. I brought my phone just in case my Mum called because it’s her wedding anniversary (or would’ve been) and she’s spiralling (up?) into a manic state over the last few days. She was threatening to kill herself yesterday and Dad had to come and collect her from a psychologists. (She has an appointment with her psychiatrist at 9.30pm…because he knows what...
coffeejusayo replied to your post: Seriously,...
Yeah, he’s not listening to his Dad. Or at least he’s not the one talking about anything more than ‘I think I will really like you” and “I crush you” “Maybe I will fall in love” a while ago and most recently “I absolutely like you”
I’m happy with that level. I just don’t need to have too many of these meetings with his Dad.
fuck. Now I totally have justification of why I want to just take it freaking easy and enjoy PhD rather than stressing about it all…
I just looked back in my phone calendar and realised that only 2 weeks ago I met Squirrel. Only 2 weeks ago, I was still considering/dating an other guy (although it ended up disastrous with Squirrel).
And it was only on the 19th of November (so basically a...
Had my appointment at immigration at 10. Got there at 9.10 (expected a lot of traffic) and it wasn’t busy.
In and out by 9.40.
Was going to meet PhD for coffee since my school wouldn’t expect me until 11am and he gets up around 9.30…but he wouldn’t be ready until 11am. Bad timing.
Got a venti Americano to bolster myself for the day….i’ll just reheat it as I...
It's days like these I love life
School festival. Which is two days of performances and clubs running activities.
So the summary is
Getting our school’s sought after Strawberry Shakes 4 (500 won) and eating Pizza Bread (1 000 won)
Watching students play that Wii Dance game (the new one)- hilarious.
Getting dippin dots icecream made by students using liquid nitrogen (paid by another teacher for me)

On Waygook a poster just wrote
So I’ve recently acquired a Korean boyfriend. I only realized the implications of this yesterday when I was dragged around an expensive department store, urged to try on expensive perfumes and try on matching baseball caps (The dreaded couple clothing) Which got me worrying about Christmas. Is he expecting something wonderfully romantic and expensive for...
