Three Layers

There's a lot of things I miss about my country, Korea.

I miss my people. I miss my family and friends. I miss being able to speak the language easily.

But sometimes I really miss the food.

My favorite food is something that a lot of people think smells really bad. This is the food I want to eat as my last meal. It's called "doenjang jjigae" -- bean paste soup.

It has a lot of vegetables and it tastes really good, even though it smells bad.

Something I also miss is barbecue. This porkbelly, "samgyeopsal." The name actually means three layers of fat. It's like bacon. In Korean restaurants you can cook it yourself, which is also fun.


Don't you want to eat some too?

Hello Mr. Iphone ...


Im doing it...we maybe. I have been so devoted to my piece of Sh*t blackberry for years. I have had a blackberry since the days when the scroll bar was on the side and it was the size of a sandwich. But with all the technologies out there, it makes me realize how slow and crappy this phone really is. I mean i pay 30 bucks a month but i literally don't use any of the apps. and i barely use the internet. I use it mainly for the email ( i know im old). Thinking of jumping on this iphone bandwagon, but i am unsure if i want to do that to myself, after all i do have enough distractions. Pondering my outcome hmmm

half way

Wow, half way through the 50 blogs already, which means half way through the semester and only 2 more months until graduation . Half way through the last part of college. It's kind of a scary thought. I haven't really put things into perspective yet. I'm just pretty much coasting along and not really thinking about graduation and all that comes with it.

This whole idea of halves had me thinking about what would happen if we all put half effort into everything we do rather than trying to our full potential. To be frank, life in general would just not be as fulfilling. Everything would be 50% less appealing, less cool, less dramatic, less everything. It's a pretty interesting thought and it really makes you appreciate it when you see people putting in a great effort into things.

A few things that I thought of about being half way were the technological advancements that we would be at right now. If everyone only tried to 50% of their potential, we'd all probably be driving Ford Model T cars right now. We'd probably be walking around with beepers strapped to our belts (if we even had belts). We would be walking miles to the nearest well to get water and then walk miles back, only to have to boil it to get rid of the bacteria. We would be hanging around a fire at night to stay warm because the great minds that invented indoor heating would not have done so because of their half effort. Just putting things into perspective.
