I've been rocking these new glasses I got from Korea.

The thing is... I usually wear hard contact lens. They're different than soft lens in that they take some getting used to. You have to train your eye by wearing it a few hours each day (in increasing increments) until your eyes get used to them.

So here's the dilemma. I like my new black-frame look. But it's also been 2 weeks since I last wore my contacts. So I put them on this morning, in order to retrain my eye. I can't let it go too long or else I'll have to start out wearing it like 2 hours a day. But I might have already crossed that threshold.

Right now, I want to scratch out my right eyeball and it's barely 9am. I don't know if I can suffer through this til the end of the work day. Being blind in one eye is sounding a lot more comfortable right now.

at the movies with my boyfriend... he's quite large

I'm back and swamped at work. But not too busy to update! (My coworkers tell me I've gotten darker!)









More pictures on the link to the right.

Janet - those flowers pictures are for you. My aunts kept commenting I must love flowers because I kept taking pictures of them.

Yonsei crew - I miss you.

Some random observations about Korea:

- We got carnival-type fish as a present with our pizza order
- Our pizza dough was made with rice flour... very chewy
- Rest stops in Korea are awesome
- I am the "Son" family women's arm wrestling champ (2nd to my sister, but she wasn't here to defend her title)


More to come later.

I was walking towards the Ferry Building today to meet Janet for lunch. I passed by the Starbucks barista on the street and she waved "hi" to me. Should I be comforted by that, or a little ashamed of myself?

I'm leaving for Korea tomorrow.

2 weeks of no work! Wahooooo!!

Countdown to Korea: 6 days!!!

2 years ago, Ashley and I had our first bonding experience at the inter-church ping pong tournament. We came in first that year (see profile picture).

Things started off a little rough for us. We lost our first game, although it was very very close.



We ended up playing the same team in the finals. After 5 VERY intense games, we were victorious in the end!

Here we are holding up our goods. Everyone knows that first place deserves a gallon of olive oil. Beats towels and toothpaste.
