I love that my bikini wax sessions are like mini therapy lessons. I always walk away with at least 1 life lesson. All this for only 35$!!
Lately I feel like i have been so fucking apologetic for my actions, when in reality I feel as though I am apologizing for my personality. This is me. I crave affection, if you can give it to me when I want it, then so be it; but, don’t bitch at me for wanting it or getting mad when I don’t get it. Take it or leave it
This relationship shit is for the birds

I love love love love my fiance!! We finally figured out where we will be living once I get back, and it is such a cool place, I am so stoked. I am a few minutes walk from the beach and the aquarium and only a 15 minutes drive (no freeway) to school. I could not be more happy. Being gone for such a long time made me nervous to come home, but I am so ready now, 27 more days to go!
aaaaaaaaamazing. 3 of my favorite artists together →

My days are winding down here in Korea, if my math is correct, which it usually is not, I have 40 nights and 39 days left. I am fucking STOKED to be starting my real life and get to experience the last few days of summer in LA. This monsoon shit season is not for me.
I did appreciate the fact that one of my co teachers actually told our class that it was my last class with them, and one student...

Air Asia
REALLY??? They don’t accept American fucking credit cards… so how exactly am I suppose to book my vacation? Anyone have an insider tips as to how American’s are suppose to do this. I have tried 3 credit cards over the last 3 days, MULTIPLE times, and nothing. When I called customer service they said, oh sorry, American CC’s don’t work. WHHHHHHHHAT THHHHHEEE...

That I happened to have the loveliest, sexiest, most caring, thoughtful Fiance in the whole wide universe. Truth
Edit: This was written 20 minutes before we had a really difficult, long, lengthy conversation while I was at work. Though I do still feel the same way. Funny how that worked out.
Anonymous asked: I have biracial-type thick curly hair as well, and will be moving to Korea in a few months for school. I was wondering if you ever got the Brazilian Keratin Treatment there? I just recently learned about it, so I haven't had one here in the States, but did it just relax your curls a bit? It doesn't contain harsh chemicals like perms or texturizers, right?
Interesting Find: meet the world campaign.
Icaro Doria, a Brazilian man, working for a magazine in Portugal started this campaign using real data from the UN and flag images, he’s created whats known as Meet the World. The colors within the flags from its respective country are used to represent current, geographical relevant issues. Take a look.

Castration should still be legal
I am not normally a proponent for an eye for an eye type of justice, only because If I did so, half the world would be blind. In some cases though I firmly believe that the death penalty, castration, flogging, mutilation, whatever should be the consequence. Fuck letting people sit in a jail, while we pay for them to receive 3 meals a day and access to doctors/dentists while many a deserving...
I just had an amazing birthday weekend. Actually, I’ve had a great few last weekends all in all. Wando beach, then Busan, then my birthday weekend in which my bestest friend and her lover came to visit.
The first night my friend and her lover were here, we went out for my Bday dinner and consumed way too much soju, BBQ and beer. Friday at work was no bueno for Dione Teacher. Friday night I...
Thanks for the replies guys. That creeper is an asshole, who doesn’t deserve the attention we are giving him/her.
I had to leave that anonymous message up there since it was so disturbing. I was unaware that people really do send anonymous hate messages over the internet. Whatever happened to “If you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all” or my personal fav “say it to my face.”
I wasn’t even offended, just saddened by the stupidity and ignorance of people that...

Beach day
I had a much needed day of rest, relaxation and friends at Meyeonshshimni beach in Wando today. I truly did not feel like I was in Korea. There were around 150 waygooks in attendance, we pretty much took over a good portion of the beach. There was volleyball, ultimate frisbee, swimming, BBQ-ing, football etc. It was a wonderful day. I showed up with my group of friends around 3, the beach was...

evening is the whole day for those without their lovers the sun goes down and the sky reddens, pain grows sharp, / light dwindles. then is evening / when jasmine flowers open, the deluded say. / but evening is the great brightening dawn / when crested cocks crow all through the tall city / and evening is the whole day / for those without their lovers.

Lately I have been noticing quite a bit that I give a shit too much about people’s feelings. That is without saying, that I think I shouldn’t care, or recognize others feelings, I just need to do so less.
Today, people were going out to celebrate my friends acceptance to law school, I am genuinely happy for her, but I just did not feeling like going down town with them. I had a horrid...

I just figured out I could buy 쌈장 in the markets… what was I thinking the last 8 months?! I am obsessed with this stuff. I better be able to find it back in the US of A.
“It’s about to get Africa hot in a few weeks.”

It’s inevitable when you move away that you will loose touch with even those who you considered to be really close friends, but today I realized how evident that is. I only have 4 months left here, but that often feels like an eternity. My circle of friends back home that I talked to on a weekly, sometime daily basis, I may talk to once a month or once every other month, and not even talk,...
Long lost love Music...
A sweet little article that I caught on NPR. It’s neat to hear original music from early 1920’s. The artist name is Amede Ardoin and I quite enjoyed it.

Sick day
I called out ‘sick’ from work on Monday, needed a day to relax and unwind and I can’t stand my grade 2’s, so anything to get out of teaching them is welcomed. Today at lunch one of my co teachers came up to me in the lunch room and told me that my grade 3’s were sad I wasn’t there and that they wouldn’t have my class for 3 more weeks (I teach high levels 1...
ER visit
So Saturday was definitely a first. My friends and I attended a hash run is Gwangju. Hashing is popular around the world, and is actually really quite fun. Their slogan is ‘a drinking club with a running problem.’ The basic premise of a hash is to gather a group of people, to socialize and run. You all start at a designated spot and follow the trail set by the Hares. Sometimes the...
What's wrong with this picture....
Why do chemical and pharmaceutical companies run the American Medical Association and the FDA?
While desk warming today I got an email from Ann Taylor loft, telling me EVERYTHING was on sale, 40% off. It made me damn day, there was a pair of jeans I had been spying for 2 weeks, and was waiting for them to go on sale. So I go to the website, with the discipline that I am ONLY going to buy that 1 pair of jeans (why are jeans referred to as a pair, I mean there are 2 legs, but there are two...

Over medicated youth
As I was in class today with my rambunctious second graders, I was instantly transported back to teaching in middles schools in America and the huge disparity in students behaviors between America and Korea. Coming from America, where you or I can go into any of our own or our friends medicine cabinets and find percocet, zoloft, cymbalta, paxil, prozac, wellbutrin etc. it is a trip to live in a...
