its that time of the year again, i dont know this was a pretty random thought after pervert pm me on fb. lol i realised fb msg tool is very useful! my thoughts are pretty incoherent now, cos i had a pretty eventful week. with things plunging to a valley-low to having new visions and dreams. i dont know but i feel everything lies with me now and how much i really want to do (for others for myself) it feels really terrible having to keep this thing that im really psyched over from everyone but feel its better to firm things up first. fuck i know this is not going to be easy so im keeping my fingers super crossed. also, i might have helped a new friend get her hopes/job so its a pretty awesome feeling cos i know how she feels in this kind of situations. hope things go well for her. also, realising people do care about you and cherish the friendship between, thats a pretty awesome feeling too. okay u might have a tough time trying to decipher wht ive just written im torn between the line of public and private. hope i'll be back with a clearer answer. in the meantime, think about that statement up there and yeah, im going for this CHOICE camp this weekend, it pretty much emphasized on what i have just written. hope i'll come back as a better person. and oh, really you dont know what your limits are until you test it. i always had problems starting with plans yknw with the gridlines and all but i went for a test( i need to churn up plans within a stipulated timeline) this week with the intention to leave and say 'sorry i cant do this' when i saw the plan to 'okay whatever just do it' to 'OMG did i just finish it?' and getting called up later for a second round of interview. now, we'll just see how it goes from there.

akk's back in camp at 0700 this morning so my weekend has ended, somehow.
yesterday was great though. we drove around for the whole day checking out some stuff, church and had a KFC dinner with my cousin cos he was feeling upset BTW he's 4 with my granny and the maid(funny how shes known as THE maid) and then had a DVD marathon at home, sth we haven done for the longest time. now ive got work to do, yeah im gonna challenge myself to finish that plan at a stipulated time(thats the thing abt doing freelance i sort of take my time cos im removed with the pressure of being checked now and then) and do up a sample board! aye i gotta settle down to work after brunch later.
have a good week ahead.

Korea 2009 Day 01

ahn-young-ha-seh-yo!
im back from korea!

although there were several hiccups during the trip i managed to come home with happy buys and presents for the lovely ones, and of cos invaluable memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life. pity i didnt have that much time to shop and shopping was done in the hastiest manner with limited timeline, we were still rushing from one end of the airport to the other to find FaceShop counter 15 min before boarding time!(note counter and not shop). major gain from the trip would be the art and importance of skincare/personal wellbeing which got us coming back with 09240348 masks/emulsion/serum and me feeling inferior of my skin condition(i think its too dry and not flawless and not glowing now haha). i love korea, i love how i can dress up without feeling overdressed over there, i love how the country came a long way; how their past made the people strong and how diversified their culture is(with influence of china and japan). there was just so much to see, so much to experience, so much to buy there i think 8days wasnt enough. the trip encompassed 4 main areas, Incheon, Daegu, Jeju and Seoul so travelling took some time, we had to fly to Jeju from Daegu even. so here's a visual journal to take you through the lovely country and  I'm thinking of making a free&easy trip to Seoul in the near future, who's with me?

arriving at Incheon International Airport at 630am local time,

dear diary,

one entry and im off to korea, the trip's seriously long awaited. we've booked the trip about two mths before. im totally psyched for the trip, being my first experiences for many. ive got this weird thing that i dont like to visit a country twice, that i cant get lost in the excitement for something new. that aside, i havent been travelling with my family for a long time, since i've.. erm grown up. so its a total new experience that while im more aware of whatever's going on and taking care of certain stuff myself, there's sheer comfort in knowing i'll be well taken care of during the trip. and, singapore's been so hot lately! my aunt and i were joking that we're like going there to avoid the summer (bi shu), its autumn there and about 8-15deg now. im still kinda clueless how much should i wear for my body constitution. the last time, my mum totally dressed me up cos i was a girl and i saw the photos i looked like a damned dumpling. packing's tiring, its the trying of clothes that im bringing there that's tiring haha since i just sat there and stared at the maid while she packed everything in nicely. there's a last bit of packing to clear up, like facial wash/toothbrush. the flight's about 8hours, i think i havent taken such a long flight before cos they always planned transits.

bon voyage to me.
