    drank more than usual today ^_^.

    cuz..

    I HAD A GAMEPLAN LOL. 

    I ate a lil before the staff dinner and drank tea to prepare my body =P. I think I should do that more often, so that I eat a lil slower. 

    We ate at a Japanese restaurant earlier then at second round, at a bar that the TaLKs frequent.. cuz the owner lady mentioned that she knew me <_<;; LOL. oh well, at least we got some 서비스.. service. xP.

    But i swear i put a finger to my face like "ssshhh" when we walked in. awh man LOL. love that owner lady, she's so awesome. if you guys ever come to Korea, and I'm done w/ TaLK, we're going to Taean to check out the beaches and drink for the summer and we can go to that bar/chicken place :P . They have realllly good spicy chicken, but that's probably really spicy for you guys ;) .

    BUT OMG. There was so many "Korean culture drinking / eating etiquiette lessons". AGH. Probably cuz I wasn't paying attention and getting drunk.

    But, 
    1) Don't receive or offer to pour a drink with your left hand. ALWAYS RIGHT. 
    2) When pouring or receiving a drink from a person that is another person away that is older than you (like the person next to the person on your right), do it behind that person's back. 
    3) Don't put your arm on the table & stuff on the table. While eating / drinking. (MAN, I WAS TIRED & DRANK A LOT :P )

    whatevers.

    But Xmas day, some of us had lunch with the other foreign teachers.

    Also later on after grocery shopping.. I got to call home while us TaLKs (one is in Thailand) went to 서산시 (Seosan), the next city over to watch that one Frensh movie/play or something that came out, but it was sold out & the one at 9pm was too late for us to watch & go home. So we took stickerbooth pictures at the movie theater and had dinner / drank. It was fun~! But, we spent like 26 bucks! (a piece!). 20k for the meal, 6k for the taxi back. 

    I like how the two Korean-American TaLKs have never taken sticker booth pictures before.. LOLLL. They're like... ."whaaaat?!" and.. our caucasian friend was like, leading the charge to get them done. hahah. but i mean, she's been korean-ized since she's been to Korean b4 & stuff. 

    -----------------------------

    I have some things I wanna work on.

    1) I get too comfortable when settling into something. Like my job, I'm getting too laxed. (I have lesson plans to type up & submit >_<;; ). I bet it would happen in relationships too. Or even trying to learn Korean or work on becoming a pop star. I get lazy and it's just hard to keep motivation. I don't have enough yet. I wish that I had more appreciation for time and that I prioritized stuff. Time is running out even though I'm young. 

    I mean, I can't even audition for any of the top three Korean agencies cuz I'm too old!! In Korean age, I'm 24! (That means you guys are 23. And we all go up one year during new years. So in a couple of days, ya'll gonna be 24 and I'm gonna be 25).

    2) I wish I was more thoughtful :P . This also kinda falls with the first thing. I didn't really plan or give the kids candy for Halloween or have any Christmas presents. And I don't really do anything special for the teachers. (At least I voluntarily go to any dinners or whatever, to show I exist and that I still have interest in keeping things homy with the school).

    I also have cards I haven't sent home to you guys. LOL. <_<;; and it takes forever to start writing. I wish I could just trade notebooks with you guys like in middle/high school. Maybe I should. Just don't write too many personal things, if I get famous and some zombie fangirl jacks my shit or the nosy 동생 trainees or 서배s  establish kpop stars try to post it over the internet.

    3) Commitment & Persistance. I haven't been training as much for that Cube Audition I want to do. It's intimidating cuz I"m OLD lol. I guess I'll feel better when I show that I'm capable; with my Korean, workouts, singing & dancing. I started doing voice warmups in the mornings. My voice is feeling much much better nowadays. I also just downloaded the fitocracy fitness app. All I gotz to do now I guess is plan out my quests for fitocracy, stick to a diet & practice stuff. T_T;; but all the younger people are soooo amazing. You see JB's (from Dream High 2) audition tape on Youtube? He's in JYP but he can dannccce. And, you hear his voice? It's the voice I wish the Gods would bestow upon me. It distinct. It leaves a good impression upon you. It sounds trained. :'(. I've always wanted to find "my sound".

    _______________

    Maybe I should stop drunk kakao-ing. It could get dangerous. But sometimes I get bored lol. And, a teacher said the dinner was to discuss the after school programs? But, no. LOL. I didn't see any of that. I did see the guitar and piano teachers that the school hired. Weird. I like how our school invites everyone. The piano teacher is pretty.. lol. like, da-dang. but only a 3/4 da-dang. Like, almost there, but not.

    They embarrassed me by making a uh.. not toast but, mini speech after the guitar & piano teachers. Man, I was sooo tipsy. I started talking and teachers were like "speak slowly!!" hahaha.. (in English). One teacher was like "In Korean!" oh heck no lol, that's way hard. But I basically said something like.. "Anheung's teachers work hard. Let's work hard in the future. Thanks for the dinner." Or whatever. >_< How nerve-racking.

    Oh Korea.. my second home.
