I found this photo of a polaroid I took exactly one year ago today.  It’s a picture of Kristy and I at Courtney’s birthday in Gunpo, South Korea.  Ahh… good times. (I figure that if you can read Korean, you can know my real name.) Speaking of the lovely Kristy, I got a care package [...]

Quite a few people on and offline have been asking me why I don’t blog anymore.  It’s not that I don’t blog anymore, I just stopped for a really long time.  These were a few reasons. 1) Twitter: I’m twittering a lot instead of blogging because it’s so much easier to send out a quick [...]

You know what’s great about Flickr?  I did a search for pictures tagged with “Portland” “waterfront” and “cherry” within the last three days, so I could see if the cherry blossoms at the waterfront were in full bloom yet.  And yes, they are.  I went there this afternoon and had a nice stroll along the [...]

What a gorgeous day it was in Oregon today!  It was sunny and clear, and I observed more than a couple people in the neighborhood washing their cars.  Today, I returned to the gym after 3 or 4 weeks away, and boy, did I feel it.  Before, I was working out about six days a [...]

If you looked at my last blog entry, you’ll see it’s been exactly one month since I posted.  So, what have I been up to?  Basically, I’ve been applying to grad school. As I’ve stated before, I left Korea after 6 years to return to Oregon and get my teaching certification.  What’s the benefit of [...]

Before I forget, I wanted to post some pictures from my trip to the Portland Yard, Garden, and Patio show.  My mom and I made the trip out to the Oregon Convention Center to a busy venue.  Inside was everything I would expect from an event like this – seed and plants for sale, landscape [...]

From Postsecret. Here’s a line of clothing called “Kimchi Blue” from Urban Outfitters.  I think more than anything, the name caught my eye. My mom picked up a “Desert King” fig tree today.  I don’t think I’ll be around to see it bear fruit, but I love fruit trees, so I’m excited nonetheless.  A cut [...]

Yesterday was a relatively sunny day, so you can imagine my surpise when I woke up this morning, pulled up the blinds, and saw a light dusting of snow.  Just the other day, people were saying that cherry blossoms were starting to bloom in Portland. Here I was, counting the days until spring arrived.  Above [...]

Wow, so much time has passed since I last posted!  First of all, the problem with comments and archives is fixed.  Actually, it was quite easy and the root of the problem can be found here if you’re interested. I arrived in Portland two and a half weeks ago to the same weather it’s been [...]
