Let's change the subject
WOAH apparently Abbotsford is having its first gay pride parade on Saturday? Anyone going? I'll join you in spirit. I'm a bit nervous though, because there are a lot of Abby churches that I don't trust to not be douchebags about it. I just hope they keep their douchebaggage to themselves ( Read more... ) -
Add to the list of "things I don't need right now"
Yesterday morning I was awoken at 6:30 by a bitch of an earache. Because obviously the flu symptoms weren't enough already. I took painkillers and was kinda hoping it would go away in my sleep, but no such luck. Iris is taking me to the hospital today. This would happen when I'm unemployed and not covered by medical insurance ( Read more... ) -
Or maybe there's just something in my latte...
I came to Starbucks to study Korean* and do school prep but there are two cute barista boys here.
TWO!
I cannot work under these conditions. /throws books across room
*as in Korean language, not Korean boys. Get it together, Esther.

OMG it's 6:44 am and I juuuust got home from a club where Niamh and I partied with a bunch of Korean guys. Is this what I was supposed to be doing all high school/university? :P Also apparently one of them is semi-famous? He was on last night's Korean Dancing With the Stars or something. Next week we might meet up with the same group at Yangjae ( Read more... ) -
The Most Expensive Place/제일 비싼 곳
People often ask me how the cost of living in Korea compares with Canada, but I don't feel like I'm really qualified to answer that. Not yet, anyways. I grew up in Canada, so I know where to go for good deals on clothes, food, appliances, etc. I'm starting to acquire that knowledge for Korea but it's a work in progress.

Beaver/Money Update
Niamh is leaving :( She found a new job, so this will be her last week. She'll be moving further into Seoul, but we'll try to keep hanging out on the weekends! Maybe May will move me into her house since hot water is still an issue? ahah ( Read more... ) -
Cha-Ching?
Guess what? My school is in money trouble. Hahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I'm keeping this out of my official Korea blog for now because I don't want my family to worry, but I don't want to keep it to myself either.
