autumn in Seoul

The cooling temperatures and the beautiful foliage..
I never really experienced an Autumn like this...

Today's weather is exceptionally beautiful.
It's probably because i'm finally getting better. I'm still really weak.. but i managed to clean my apt. but boy, did it tire me out. I'm still definitely not 100%
 I also still have this nasty cough.
It felt so good to clean though. It's been a tough week overall.. and cleaning helped me just clear my head. It's really therapeutic...!

I took these pictures from my window. I totally looked like i was gonna jump out and commit suicide. ha
the clouds are SOOO fluffy. I'ts definitely gonna rain this weekend.. and next week.


 
on that note.. here is what it looks when you look down...

timing...

is everything.
Think about a dance routine.. if you don't have the timing down from the beginning, you're a mess the rest of the routine.
Ive been really sick this week.. i haven't been this sick in a while..the last time i've been this sick was when i was in elementary school.
I could say that there have been many factors that might have made me sick.
 These may include the germ-infested children i see everyday (i type that with love, i do, really..),
the rather sudden drop in temperature,
the lack of sleep,
or the emotional frustration that i've been enduring..
whatever the cause is, i don't care.
I think it came at the right time. I was able to catch up on my sleep, rest up, and refocus myself.
Why am I here?
What will become of me?
Where will i be a year from now?
How will I change?
will i change? will i grow?
Who will I meet? Who will i lose touch with?

Timing. it's all in the timing. I don't think i can explain much.. but, it is what it is.
situations will arise in our lives but you gotta be smart about it...

I think I'm looking more Korean each day.
It's all coming together perfectly.
*CHEERS*

     so i think it's a little sad that i'm home on this friday night.. but i'm sick, so it's best that i stay put and get well.

I do, in fact, have a pretty jam packed week ahead. Grace is flying in tomorrow and i'll be playing with her all weekend.. but before i meet up with her, i have my cousin's wedding to attend!
Then Max and the Parks (Linda and Soowan) will be visiting on separate days.
It's so freakin awesome that i have visitors! YAY!

I have to say though.. this week had been pretty crappy. I'm trying to figure out why exactly, but it's really hard to pinpoint any particular reason. It can be that I was getting sick, or the very noticeable difference in temperature change. There were a few highlights though.
Tim and I love to go to Emart.. and we always find something to laugh about.

Here is one:

Tim and I also usually share some pretty good meals. This is a place where they serve Dak Galbi (Chicken BBQ.. but it's SPICY)

oh and look! They have star shaped DDUK (rice cakes)!

Anyway, i got sick this week.. and while at school, one of my co-teachers brought me some medicine and some asian drink. It smelled like that Chinese Herbal Medicine stuff. I guess it's supposed to help with a cold.
I guess there's a first for everything.

 

Here goes:

  

and look at how delicious it tasted!

NOT!

Well, i hope i feel better by tomorrow!

24

I must have started my day before a little before 7am, on Friday, the 16th.
Went to work from 830am-430pm.
I had dinner plans with my co-teachers and another subject teacher. The 5 of us work together in the same office and she just got a new car (the teacher who is my co-teacher) and so she wanted to give us a take us in her her ride and take us out to dinner in her neighborhood.. which turned out to be in my neighborhood.
She's like a mom to all of us, so she really takes good care of us.
We went to a kal gook soo place (Knife noodles) and ate noodles and mandoo (Dumplings). Really good..!
  But before dinner, the teacher, our "mom" wanted to take us around the park. this is the same park I try to go running in each week. And it leads up in the mountain. Apparently "mom" is in th best physical shape because my co-teachers will struggling. Plus, we didn't realize that she wanted to go straight Hiking..! so.. we started.. and then she gave up on us and then just drove us to the top!
 HAHA.
So we got up there.. and the sky was becoming dark with rain clouds and of course the sun was setting.

It was really beautiful up there because there were 2 views:
This is near the Gimpo Airport:
 
And this is the of Han River. We waited up there until the lights turned on on the bridge:

unfortunately, my picture taking skills are limited so i couldn't get a good Shot. Here is try #2:
and oh, what do you know, it still sucks.. o well.. It's really nice up there.
I love my neighborhood! So i have a park to run in and a mountain to hike on near my place.
YAY To BANGHWA!
after Dinner, i met up with the loverly Vivian Lee in Sinsa (Finally)!
we had coffee and cheesecake with a view! we tried to take a picture from the table.. but had a little difficulty, so.. we asked our server to take a picture for us.

 
Our view of the street and the people walking by.. well not at that moment.



Then afterwards, I met with Jeniffer, jina and Christine in Apgujeong. Jeniffer leaves today (saturday) so we had a get together at a place called.. Electric Shoes. It has a huge cannabus on its sign. I should've taken a picture. o well.
Apparently it was hurricaining outside and poor jina got soaked!
we stayed as long as we could.. and I stayed out the longest ever..!
I pulled an all nighter in Seoul! I shared a cab with Jina and John to Sinchon and chilled until the buses started running at 530am.
It was still dark when i left their place and got on the bus. the time was 5:52am. Then i got on the subway @ I got on my train and turned on my ipod and dozed in and out of my sleepy stupor as the subway took me home..When i got off, i walked up out of the subway.. and LOOK! DAYTIME! nothing is more depressing when you see daylight after an all nighter. Remember those days in College when youpulled all nighters? The worst feeling was seeing the sunrise..  i don't know why. It's supposed to the be the opposite. Maybe because i felt like i wasn't done yet.. and the day was starting without me...?
it's possible.
But, when i walked in, nothing was more lovely and more comforting than my bed, my place.
 HOME SWEET HOME!

I took a shower and was in bed by 7am....
happy 24 hours!
