Nathan’s party on Friday turned out to be fun and surprising.  Honestly, with him being a single guy, I wasn’t expecting much food at the party.  I mean, my Korean name is “Mi Hung-ri,” after all.  I made sure to eat before getting there, and we brought our own alcohol.  We met up with Bart [...]

For awhile, I’ve noticed the photos I’ve uploaded in Flickr were faded and washed out, even though they looked fine on my computer.  I had some time and finally went looking for an answer.  Simply put, Flickr strips the color profile of the picture, resulting in the dull photos.  You can read more about it [...]

Originally uploaded by David Alvarado Photography The Flickr Meet was a great chance to meet new people, but you know what else???  It’s fun to scour the site a couple days later and see if I happen to be in anyone’s photos.  Is that vain of me to say? Haha… yeah, I think this song [...]

The Flickr Meet (Meet-up/Meetup/whatever you want to call it) was fun, even though it was a bit far away for me – Olympic Park Stadium. There were a lot more people at this Flickr meet than before. Our total came to 21! It was nice that so many people were there, but at the same [...]

The macro lens I rented came (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM), and today I got a chance to play around with it.  I went to my mom’s house and tried to take pictures of everyting.  This lens is amazing!  I’m in love.  If I had $470 to burn, it’d definitely be on my list [...]

I had a super relaxing weekend.  This was the first time in the last two months that I did absolutely NOTHING in regards to work on a weekend.  I went up to Seoul on Saturday and met Ras and Mat at the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Costco.  (Directions: Subway Line 2 or 5.  Exit 3, and take [...]

I’ve been feeling tired and overwhelmed lately. I’m three weeks into my new job, but don’t feel settled yet. I’m still getting a feel for how things are run at this school, creating templates/forms/attendance sheets for the semester, and planning how I want to teach the material. Since the beginning of the semester, I still [...]
