| i know i haven't updated my xanga in ages (there are all these functions i've never seen before on xanga now) but i felt like i should at least announce that i'll be returning back to the states. i don't have the complete details off the top of my head, but i'll be returning wednesday, sept 19 in the morning. i hope to see you all when i get home. i'll be in garden grove, and i may or may not have a car (my brother's been using my car), so it might take a while to see everyone, but regardless, i hope to see you all relatively soon. until then, lots of love from seoul.... | | |

| i got this in an email, so i tried it and i thought it was interesting, so i'm posting this. it's a 45 question test that will help you to figure out your "color," which represents various "core motives" that you are born with, and develop into your personality over time. it's supposedly a really good way to organize different types of people.. but more than anything, i think it's just interesting - and besides, it's free. check it out if you're bored... or if you just like taking these types of survey/test thingys. www.thecolorcode.com it says i am RED. i think to a degree it's accurate. i can see myself as other colors too though (there's a total of 4). but it was interesting because as i read some of the other colors, certain people popped up in my head - it totally got some people i know ON THE DOT. anyhow. just for fun... |
REDS are motivated by POWER. They seek productivity and need to look good to others. Simply stated, REDS want their own way. They like to be in the driver's seat and willingly pay the price to be in a leadership role. REDS value whatever gets them ahead in life, whether it be in their careers, school endeavors, or personal life. What REDS value, they get done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist doing anything that doesn't interest them.
|  |
| REDS like to be right. They value approval from others for their intelligence and practical approach to life, and want to be respected for it. REDS are confident, proactive, and visionary; but can also be arrogant, selfish, and insensitive. When others interact with you, as a RED you respond to them best if they are precise, factual, direct, AND show no fear! | |
| Understand that no two REDS are exactly alike. Although you share the same core motivation as many others, your personality is still unique to you alone. |

| when a baby is born, one of the first things it learns to do without being taught is to cry. babies cry when they're hungry, need their diapers changed, want affection, have some sort of pain/discomfort, etc. basically, it's their only means of communication to the people who can really give them what they need (i.e., adults). i have come to realize that there are still areas in my life where i don't know how to communicate what i need to those that can give me what i need. how is this possible, i asked myself.. i'm so talkative (yes, i know i yack nonstop), i am not afraid to talk to people.. yet i still don't know HOW to communicate some of my basic needs. what is going on here? seriously, how is this possible? what's interesting tho, is that perhaps i don't know really even know who it is that can give me what i need when i need it. and worse yet, applying this whole thing to me as a person who may be expected(?) to give to others what THEY need, what if i don't understand what/how people are communicating to me about what they need? and horribly worse still is, what if i understand and don't want to give them what they need? maybe that's why babies cry.. because they think they're communicating what they need to the people who can give it to them, but no one understands and they feel like people are ignoring their communication... so they cry out of frustration and despair (yeah, i know that past bit was a little dramatic). i guess adults cry for the same basic reasons of frustration and despair, even if the causes of that frustration/despair is not cuz someone won't change their diaper/feed them, etc [well, unless the person is super sick or in old age and need people to do that for them - which if it IS the case, then sorry and i am excluding those situations). in the midst of feeling sort of grown up, these realizations really make me take a step back and realize, maybe i still am a baby after all. | | |
| hi everyone.. i'm alive and well in korea =)
i know that i could talk and talk forever and ever, but i don't want to - mainly because my eyeballs are tired (i've been sleeping with my [hard] contacts in.. NOT good) and i'm wearing glasses today. THUS, i'm gonna just update with pictures. happy new 2007!! went to BOH SHIN GAK - some bell that they ring. i have no idea what the bell's significance is. there were a gazillion people there, and really dumb people who kept unintentionally firing firecrackers at peoples heads instead of up to the sky -_- linda luna jane  and while we were there, we saw these drumming groups.. this one was the first one that i saw, they were actually really sucky, but it was cool cuz the man on the kkwengari was just a audience member (he was so much better than the leader hahah). made me miss the excitement of being in a poongmul group.. made me (and linda) TOTALLY reminscient of JSBG (jishinbalpgi) hehehe.
 me and my baby niece.. yes, that's a GIRL. freaking. someone was like he's cute.. @_@ what the. crazy people! it's a SHE. but yeah, she's such a cutie.. she seems to pick out all the cute things to do =) her older brother, however, really has a streak of the devil in him. seriously. hehehhe
jungwon's bday.. some of us met up at school and ate lunch and such. sorry i didn't put up the pictures of everyone that was there <3 we had sweet potatoe cake cuz it's jungwon's fave~ happy bday again ^^
<3 jane and linda <3
the day we went shopping at express bus terminal.. i got the beanie i'm wearing in the picture that day
it looks like my bday or gennie (the girl next to me) but it's not. it's kwansoo oppa's bday (only korean guy in the picture, with the glasses).
top row L-R: vaughn (teacher @ SDA), kwansoo oppa, javier (teacher @ SDA), tracy (jr teacher @ SDA), farand (teacher @ SDA)
bottom row L-R: jane (pt teacher @ SDA), gennie (former teacher @ SDA)
this is a note that one of my level 2 students left me on her midterm!!! HAHHAHA. since i'm on break for school, i've been teaching 3 hours (3 classes) at the institute.. one level 1 class and 2 level 2 classes... my level 2 students just have NOT been doing well -_- the midterm results were SCARY! apparently my student knew it was gonna be scary too.. in the midst of my depression while grading the midterms, this note made me crack up
this is a group picture of the people from our institute that went to our annual SDA winter bible camp. we had about 40(?) people come from shinchon (including the eng and japanese students, staff, church members).  and then this is a picture of (L-R): lisa, emma, me & mike at panmunjeom, aka Joint Security Area (JSA). totally eerie place cuz it's so peaceful and quiet.. but it's so tense at the same time. the blue buildings are buildings that are under joint custody... whichever side gets to them first in the morning guards them for the day on the inside. the white building on the upper right corner to the right of the trees is the north korean side. we got to see a north korean soldier who was standing guard. the experience was totally weird cuz i had no deep feelings about it. i thought i would feel a rush of emotions or something, but i didn't. and more than anything, i thought the whole thing was stupid - as in dumb. anyhow.
my friends, i'll update (with more pictures) later. my brain's not working. i hope you all are doing well.
miss you all, and .... special birthday wish for my dearest
