It was FREEZING by 4pm. After comparing all the pictures I took with my point and shoot and my friend Tom's Canon 30D... I'm gonna post his pictures first. It's amazing what a difference in quality our pictures are! All pictures courtesy of my friend Tom Lim (aka Ryder): This is where we stayed Friday night. It was a cabin in the w...

But first: Jamie and I arrived at around 9pm when the SHINee concert was still going on. Nerds at the hostel in Suwon. Honestly, when there are in...

However, I realize that I no longer have my 18 year old body and have taken initiative to get it back: got myself a personal trainer for the next 3 months. Currently, as of 8/26/2009, I'm a little pudgeball at around 62kg (136lbs) and standing at 162cm (5'3) Yes, I know, I...

The air is still thick with humidity and girls are still in short shorts and high heels. However, now that the application season is getting into full swing and my students are all scurrying to get their last minute meetings in before they leave for the States/Canada/Europe, the back-to-school feel (that will never ever leave me, not matter how many years out ...

Just as the title states, we went to this restaurant called Brazilia that serves unlimited steak. Our reservation was for 7:30pm on July 30th but due to a series of mishaps (rather, due to *SOMEONE* not having a phone or knowing how to walk straight for 5 mins) we didn't end up eating until 8:20. heh. Anyways, less talk, more steak and pictures. Introducin...

His family actually lives in the eastern part of Seoul, so he was able to come out to Kangnam, where we usually hang out. In the pouring rain, Jamie, Shaun and Dan went out to meet up with Bosung at the subway exit around 7pm while I waited for them at the r...

Unfortunately, the weekend was rainy and .. well, rainy the whole time that I didn't get a chance to go on any rides or anything but it was still a good time. There is a festival each year in a small beach town called Boryeong (about 2 hours from Seoul) called Mudfest. Mudfest Character Icons Upon arriving: The sky was dreary and bleak. I was sad. Beca...

But at least I didn't get blitheringly drunk. ^^ Sunday, July 5th. Shaun has been here a month now, and honestly, I think I've had an alcoholic beverage every single day in the last month. It's taking a toll on me: I'm tired everyday, have no energy to go to the gym after work, eating in the middle of the night (due to the drinking), and the 4kgs I lost ...

Still, I can't seem to stay away. Following the week we got back from Busan, beer or whiskey was consumed just about every night. Usually, if we aren't out in Kangnam (a somewhat trendy, younger area with tons of bars and eateries) we can be found sitting with pitchers of beer in the apartment with the boys playing e...

Last night, what started out as a small gathering of Starcraft aficionados ended up becoming a bit more than that. From having a Swede down an entire bottle of soju to having broken on Korean's hookah cherry... it was a nice night ...

I have a student, who needs to apply to a school that starts this fall. However, he has not (and will not) take the SAT or ACT test. His iBT score is around 65. International first year student. His GPA is pretty shit but he has a HS diploma and has graduated. Now, I need to find a school that will still allow him to apply. He will be taking the Toefl test again i...

Although he was planning on just having a calm, restful weekend of nerding with Jamie, so far, it's been nothing of the sort. Let's just say that on his first night out, he managed to get picked up by a Korean girl in a hookah bar, (excuse me, you are so good looking! do you have girlfriend? no? sit with me!) share a few smooches wit...

Jamie (Midian) and I went to Cebu the weekend before my birthday to celebrate (and to renew his visa) and the forecast said rain. Obviously the weather people were wrong, as the weather was clear and blue the whole time we were there ^^ It was a much needed, restful (yet expensive) weekend. Here are some pictures (the PG o...

It was actually quite a fabulous day; almost everyone I wanted to be there came out even though it was a Wednesday. We had dinner at an uber expensive but nice restaurant, followed by drinks after. I couldn't have asked for a better evening. :) First, my cake Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:22:36 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=91469 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=87666 lilsusie I miss being the fan girl. I've never been the type to bring gifts and scream and swoon, but I did love the whole hype of getting my picture taken with Pro Starcraft players and giggle to myself quietly in glee for having met them. After I've started working in e-sports (very haphazardly, might I add; I don't even know how this all happened) I've lost that giddy feeling. Knowing the players ...

My parents were nice enough to allow us to get together for some pasta (meat-free for Artosis), cake and wine. Needless to say, a lot of Starcraft was watched and discussed. Here are some pictures. That's me, my brother, Idra, Artosis, Nony, Midian, ToD and Nevergg. We all have matching socks, yes I know. :P It's cold in Korea and I wanted to make sure everyone's ...

I've been a fan of SC since 2004 - when MBC and OGN were my only friends in lonely Cheongju, Korea. As much as I enjoyed watching all of the games, there was one player I really had an interest in: Kang Min. I watched Kang Min play his games, watched all the specials they did on him and never ever even dreamed that I would meet him...

In 2005 I was a succubus (warlock pet from wow) and in 2007 I was a pirate (along with my ninja friend - savory delight effect from wow). This year, I'm having a terrible time thinking up costume ideas. Kerrigan has been done AMAZINGLY and I don't want to be mediocre compared to ...
