Hypocritic advise

Hey bubblies!

I give so much advice that I don't take.

Take today for instance: I arrive at 한글날 around the time its ending.

I tell people to make friends but I do not. Its so sad because I could technically have lots of Korean acquaintances. But I keep thinking I do not want to come off as an infatuated person, or a korea-boo as its now called. Especially guy Koreans. Because I am biased towards Korean guys. Its not that I'll fall head over hills in love with them but just that I'll be physically attracted to them. And i hate it when my feelings and emotions are betrayed before I wish for them to be. And then with girls its hard to approach those that are already all cliquey,Korean or otherwise. Girls are scary. I feel as if after our interaction ill be the butt of their jokes forever and ever.  And finally maybe my interest is an infatuation and I don't want to feed it. Or maybe I'm just afraid of rejection and I want to aviod rejection by not asking in the first place.

I tell people to practice speaking in public. Matter of fact, I told this Korean guy to stop being scared of speaking English in public. And then I didn't speak a drop of Korean when I was surrounded by lots of Koreans. For instance, I knew Yeeun, my T.A from my last Korean class, but I did not go out of my way to greet her and have her remember me because she was with her posse; who by-the-way are all stylish pretty Korean girls. They were speaking Korean among themselves and I wasn't about to go up in there with my novice Korean. Brings tears to my eyes.

But I really do want to learn the language. I need lots of motivation. God help me!

Anyways, stay bubbly! And don't forget to thank Him who made your bubble.

Naul's Memory of the wind

Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought: the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader.  Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.) Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.) The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reaso...

So I have started watching Oh My Venus [even though I definitely shouldn't be anywhere near a drama right now]. And let me tell you it is the shiznits. First lil miss Shin Min-Ah up in this shindig. Then add a buff of So Ji-Sup.

Along with my thoughts on I will track my waist and thigh measurements, face size and weight here on a weekly basis. For the face size, I'll just take a selfie everyday; not sharing those.

a letter 20250507

I'll be walking this May. Across a stage where my graduate adviser will hood me in recognition of my earning a PhD in plant science. I'm happy to be finished. and at the same time lost. I don't like how I finished. My defense presentation is not something I am proud of. I wasn't prepared because I had only fully practiced once! I had several technical issues happen, I did not have food for the audience or my committee. I had intended to record it but I am happy that there is no evidence of it. (But maybe seeing it I might think I wasn't that horrible.) I am scared to even discuss it with my advisor because I already know i was shit. My son is very cute but I think it would have been best for him to be at a separate location.  I am failing at home life and at research/academia or job application.  I feel as though I am unwanted by Jim. I think i am failing to communicate well at all I think i should have run that email to IBBR HR by him first before sending it. It mi...
