Struggling with Dysthymia: My Journey Towards Happiness
It has been more than two weeks since my last post. I had about five days off from work, and wanted to do nothing but stay inside and do nothing. When I came back to work, the workload was massive, and I think I was still the lazy self that I was during my time…

There’s No Right or Wrong Choice
I cannot express how excited I was to write about this. I already know this is going to be a super lengthy post, so I’m apologizing in advance. Traveling is so fulfilling, and even the inconvenient mishaps and travel hassles turn into precious memories in the end. I have been working full-time since I turned…

I came down with a really bad cold today. It started on Saturday as a sore throat, but nothing serious. It started getting worse this morning and once I got to work I could feel my eyes start to swell. I think I have the weather to blame for my cold. The air feels so…

The Smell of Pencil Shavings
One of my favorite scents is the smell of pencil shavings. Another scent that I love is the smell of old books in used bookstores. It’s a shame many of these scents are disappearing because we opt for electronic devices over traditional pen and paper. If I could change one thing about modern society, I…

Fried Rice: Homely and Hearty
There’s always days when a bunch of rice is left over from the day before. You can always heat it up in the microwave, but it just doesn’t have the wonderful taste as it did when it came out fresh from the rice cooker. That’s when you take out your big wok or frying pan,…

Something scary happened today. I work in private education, and most of students are in elementary or middle school. The building I work in has 15 floors, minus the basement floors. I never really have time during work hours to go to the ground floor, and there aren’t any windows around my desk, so I…

Kkeut-mal-it-gi: Korean Word Relay
For me, this game has the same role as the game “I Spy” in Western Culture. You play it on the road, when you have nothing else to do, and sometimes parents get annoyed at how long the game lasts. It’s called “끝말잇기” (kkeut-mal-it-gi). I guess it can be translated to “Word Relay.”The goal of…

I’ve been thinking a lot about a conversation I had a while back with my friend Kaya. She’s one of the few reasons I find a way to survive in this chaotic world. She’s also probably one of the very, very, very few people to whom I can vent my feelings. She’s one of my…

Hi there, I’m Nyx
Well, actually Nyx is my cat’s name. I love her to pieces and if I were able to, I would gladly take a decade (or two) off my life span and give it to her so I could spend my whole life with her by my side. So, in a sense, she could be me,…

비가 왕창 오는 날에는 뭘 먹지
마트에서 파는 즉석 수제비가 있어요. 건더기나 고명 등은 없고, 오로지 수제비와 육수 분말만 들어 있는 아주 저렴한 상품인데요… 그것만 끓여 먹어도 너무 맛있지만, 저는 양념장을 만들어서 같이 넣고 끓여 먹는 것을 좋아요. 이렇게 하면, 즉석 식품이지만 순수 만든 느낌이 들어서 더 좋더라고요.
