Drama..... Korean Drama

Last night was a bible study for three. It was Esther Park, Esther Chang, and me. It was a Esther sandwich. They were the buns and I was the patty. Hoon and David Lee joined later. One of the topic that we talked about was Korean Dramas. I am not talking about Korean girls that are drama queens.

This is the one that eveyone seem to be watching. Chun Gook eh Geh Dan (Stairway to heaven) Esther called it Chun gook eh Geh-Ran (Eggs from heaven) Hahaha!
Korean soap opera. As terrible as this might seem I can't seem to shake it. It is sadistic that I watch it. I say sadistic because it is always the same plot. Every single time, it is about a bizzare love triangle. Everytime it is the same thing. There are some variations but seriously, How terrible are we? We know pretty much what is gonna happen. I wonder what would happen to Korean dramas, if there were no such things as disease or car accidents. How many times have you seen good character going through unbelieveable amount of suffering. Or the damn flash back scene that take half the show. Or the rich dad that won't let their kid marry the poor yet good character because it would bring shame to the family and they want the kids to marry the rich yet evil and kids who hide some horrid secret about them. geez.

Here is another scene that cracks me up. Enter music. (another part of korean dramas where I can't stand it yet I bare it... Same music that you hear over and over) The scene where a kid is flunking in school but he changes his mind and starts to study real hard. Yeah you might have the whole montage of the kid studying hard on those desks with the light on at 2 in the morning. Or you might see the library scene. ANd everyone is looking at this kid with look of wonder cause they've never seen him study so much. than he passes the test. So funny.

I wonder what it is about the Korean drama that fascinates me along with thousands of others out there so much. Is it the Hot Korean celebs? or are we all kinda sappy? I just don't get it. May be like some things about the bible, it is too wonderful for me to understand. As much as I hate myself for watching these sadistic tapes... I keep watching them.

Frienships

Why is it so hard to say "I need to work on this, that, or the other." Why is it so hard to say, it was my problem. Strange how prideful we are. Strange how we meaningless schmucks that we are try to be somebody special. Cause in the end we are just sinful bastards.

It takes certain wisdom to be a humble person. Sometimes I get extremely annoyed with my friends. I do. I will admit it. Yes there are great times I have with friends. But friendship gets hard when you accept the fact that they annoy you in many different ways. Whether they are just being inconsiderate or being selfish. There is pride that always gets in teh way of friendships. Yes we have casual aquaitances that we call "friends", that we always are glad to see. But they might not have a past with you. It is amazing to me that people, including myself, bring up the most random meaningless events to one person that might have hurt the other person. Because we all internalize things. That is bad! Yes I have not been the greatest person to many of my friends. I am selfish and I am sometimes downright mean to those that love me so much. And vice versa. So I've heard that nothing is perminant. We change. But I want to embrace the change of my friends and I want my friends to embrace my changes. Cause changing is extremely difficult for people to take. But once you change it is even more difficult to be the way that one was before. So say this to my friends. We wil always have the past. good ones to remember and bad ones to laugh at. To those that I have hurt in the past or recently let's just get better.

Let's be better friends.......

I am Perfect.....at sinning.

There were three old testament characters that the bible did not mention any thing bad about. They have said bad things about great people such as Moses, David, etc, etc. But Enoch, Joseph, and Daniel had nothing but good things said about them. I learned this this morning. I immediately thought about my life. If I was a charcter in the old testament, what would they say about me? Yikes..... Yeah we will end this here. Too many horrible things to mention. I would probably be a schmuck that Christians learn how not to be. A bad example of a Jew. I am glad I was not born as a Jew in the old testament times. Oh what a sinner I am.

So there is a little get together this Friday to celebrate DONOREE and da fevah's birthday. You can come if you'd like.


This is donoree.

You already know what I look like.

I did not know everyone's email so some, I am sure, were left out. But not to fear. Send me an email at or leave me a comment and I will add you on. I am good like that, nah mean?

my email address is jungleefever@yahoo.com

The day that was Yesterday....

As a birthday gift, my car gave me a $260.00 bill. Yup the starter went out and I spent the day taking care of errands yesterday. But I did meet up with P. Jin and Dong. We were talking about the dynamics of relationships b/w men and women. Women are so hard to figure out. anyways, the other day Dong said something interesting about me. He said that "I(Da fevah) am too Christian for the non-Christian girls and too much of on the edge for Christian girls"..... His point was that Due to my habits and my personality, most Korean Christian girls wouldn't want to deal with introducing me to their parents and such.... Maybe it is true. It was very interesting. Well Iono. That means that most people and parents of these people at church have a very negative image of me.... Hmmm. Interesting. It actually kinda makes me happy to hear that. I am such the sinner......

One great thing about last night is I played ball again. I think I am truly losing weight. I am much more active on the court. I grabbed a gang of rebounds. Couple of blocks. I still suck on offense. But I tried to be active.

Finally, to all those that called me or left me a message on my blog for my B-day, thank you. I really felt loved.

Mischievous


Who is this Mischievous Child?
Does he not look like an evil Child?
Such evil facial expression......
What the heck can this little child be thinking?
What is this kid up to ?

I wonder what he is gonna grow up to become....

Groundhog Day

I remember watching that movie. Where Bill Murray relives the ground hog day over and over again.

Here is Punxsutawney Phil. A ground hog that comes out once a year in Punxsutawney, PA to tell you how much longer the winter is gonna be. White people and their strange ways of celebrating meaningless days...

Going back to the movie, I remember thinking that Groundhog day fell before my birthday... Which means if I was in Bill Murray's shoes, I would wake up everday before my birthday and never get to my birthday. I used to be scared of that but now, I think I would welcome it. Think about it. I won't mind being 28 for rest of my life.... Yes. So I wish I wake up tommorow and it is Feb 2nd again.

[update]
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. On Saturday, Al Choi, Paul Pyo, Jeff Chang, Sam To, and I went to Blink. They were having a beer drinking contest. Not how much, but how fast...... And our fearless beer drinking mad man and friend Paul Pyo won. A line formed in front and standing were bunch of fools who got rocked by Paul. As a prize Paul won a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue label. Which cost a over $100 per bottle.

Conratulations Double P. You deserve the best.

An email from Esther Chang


For those of you who don't know this girl, she is the wonderful woman who baked me the birth day cake. Anyways, she is passionate about the game scrabble and she cracks me up. She is the head of the scrabble club at CPC. She sends out these emails every week and I told her that her emails cracked me up. I pasted her email below. Tell me that this is not funny.

Subject: Superbowl vs. Scrabbowl
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 10:28:56 -0600

Due to Sunday's Superbowl, I doubt that any of you will be coming out to Sunday's Scrabbowl. If you are actually trying to decide which one you should attend, God bless you. But I think I can guess what the outcome of this Sunday will be, so there will be no Scrabbowl Game.

Till next time...

Hahahaha. God bless you... hahahahaha. anyways it turned out that most fools played scrabble during superbowl party. Other than the outcome of the superbowl, It was a good game. (I hate the patriots) I am sure that other people will be blogging about the half time show so I won't.


Anyways if anyone is intersted in joining the scrabble club, please let Esther know.
