So.... that one day gym membership has turned into some kine od permanent one :S i have no idea why.. and frankly i'm really not about to question it.... so i'm totally happy that i've saved myself $150 (aka 150,000W)
I've been a good boy and i've been going on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (... a total of 3 days so far :P )
Hmm what else....
Oh had one of my favourite students whom from now on i shall call "ultimate cuteness" in honour of a girl of the same honourific from Azrael's old site.
Anyway, this particular class that she's in is shared by me and Jin (all English teaching programs in Korea consist of a pairing of a Korean Teacher and an English language Teacher (ELT).
So anyway apparenelty during class with Jin, UC said to her (I'm not sure under what context here) that "when i grow up i want to be Bevan teacher's girlfriend" :P sweet right? :P and super cute.... (daughter sure.. but gf?? i think not) anyway... the smartest kid in that class (happens to be a boy) said to Jin "But teacher..... when UC gets old enough..... won't Bevan Teacher be a grandfather???"
hahahahahahaha when Jin told me i couldn't help but laugh (tho a small part of me said "... GRANDFATHER?!?!?!! ... why you lil shi-") because this boy always surprises me with how smart he is, so i merely replied saying "Y'know.....*he*'s way too smart y'know.... always so far ahead of everyone else.."
Okay .... on Wednesday night i went clubbing with some people i'd met the previous Saturday at another friend's Birthday bash.... going to this club was just weird... as expected there wasn't that many people there so like.. awkward much?
Anyway... after a lil while more people started to arrive at this club.... and several pairs came in (pairs as in boy boy and girl girl as well as boy girl) and they stand for a moment before .... breakinginto a synchronised dance routine.... I'm not what it was about it.. it was like these couples had their own lil thing all sorted out that they just brushed up when they got to a club... :S
just damn weird....just wanted to say that....
Also i went clubbing last night as a farewell for Nicole (who funnil enough will be back in month's time) and clubs here don't seem to have any crowd limits.... so they just keep letting people into these places :S:S:S until it gets to the ridiculous point where you can't even move let alone dance :S ... whilst enjoyable to some extent i must say that this.. in addition to the smoking inside... REALLY made it less preferable than Sydney clubbing, even though Seoul's clubs generally finish around 6am..
anyway that was just an update on things... hopefully i'll get some more ppl to go clubbing with....
anyhoo :)
Hope you're all well.. and i'm sorry that my posts are so long in coming :S
too much of a routine to be posting regularly i spose?

Compulsion.
It seems it's been a very long while since i actually posted something about my day to day...
and today... i just felt like it..
So today... i felt compelled to... for several reasons
1/ i finally went to the gym after... 2 maybe 3 months now? :) so i'm very very proud of myself :P
in fact i also got in for free :P
Why? is it cos i'm so amazingly handsome ??
No....
then why? ..... actually...i have no idea :P she was telling me something in Korean.. and it wasn't "we don't take cards" or "cash only" i didn't know... and she KNEW i didn't know so he just let me in :P
hahaha
2/ So i get out of the gym and it's raining and i think to myself "well shit... that'd be about right"... but then i walked out into it and realised.... that it had been a while since i did walk in the rain, and y'know i gotta say.. i really enjoyed it. I loved the feel of the rain dropping lightly onto me the coolness of the water... the way it collets into drops on your body before trickling down across your skin. The freshness of walking through a mist of water...
A soft yet thorough cleansing, i couldn't help but feel revitalised but the simple pleasure of walking through the rain washing away the dirt off my soul and my heart.
It's still raining now, and i'll have to take an umbrella cos i've gotta dress up for a party... but i still remember the feeling of it... reminding me when i used to go home to Bexley.... my uniform seriously damp... and my hair looking super cool in a way that only rain can give it...
3/ I know i've bad mouthed Koreans a lot, accused them of being shallow, superficially polite etc but every now and then something happens that restores my faith in Korean culture.. and i guess people as a whole.
Here's what happened:
So i was walking in the rain and was waiting at the traffic lights happily enjoying the rain on me while others were waiting under shelter when i notice an umbrella covering me.. it's an old ajumma holding her small umbrella to cover me :) i found that amazingly sweet... it's rare for something like that to happen in sydney i find.. so i was very touched :)
so yeah apart from that... the kids are still annoying though some are great just like some days at work really.....
so yeah :)
that's me guys.
Hope you're all well and missing everyone......

so.. i'm like... 24 now :P
So today i turned 24....
2 days prior I received mail from Australia with with a package from my dearest.
Inside was a present as well as 2 cards :) one to be opened at 12am and another to be opened at 1159 pm of the 11th.
On top of all this my darling also made me a cake :)
So, my day goes on as normal go to work and head in and my co-worked remembered that it was my bday and wished me as i got in.
Basically the day goes on and on and i find out that 2 of my workmates got me a CK long sleeve top :P
quite nice :P
Also .. some of the kids i've taught over the last 4 months found out that it was my birthday and they all wished me well :) which is nice of them. Funnily enough the kids i told while i was teaching them didn't actually wish me :P and even nicer... 2 of the kids even did this :) cute right?
Anyhoo long day and at the end of it, i expected a cake (why? because every bday person gets a cake) and of course.... i got one :P
it was a lot more obvious when Joanna our elementary school head teacher came out of the (dark) staff room and held me outside :P
and then inside was everybody lined up around singing happy birthday :) which was really sweet :)
the cake was pretty nice looking
After having a piece of cake there was quite a bit of cream around my mouth and it looked kinda comic so i smeared a bit more and Nicoel took some pics......
Then Joanna comes along and rubs some on my cheeks :P
Course i couldn't let THAT stand :P so i fixed that :P
After THAT :P couldn't just have us two looking like idiots so... we fixed THAT too :P
Herena was oh so trusting :P so easy to smear cream over the poor girl :P
Nicole tried to run...... but me and Jo got her in the end :P
And Ashley..... poor Ashley was doing work, sitting down at her desk like any good head teacher should :P...... didn't stand a chance :P
After all of this good fun :P everybody was covered in cream :P the smarter and quicker ones made a getaway before things got bad :P
All these fairly straight laced people....... then i came here :P
and look what's happened :P
******************************************************************************
So on top of all this..... i asked parents if it was okay to stay home for my Bday and just have a home cooked meal by dad.... and it was awesome :) SOOOO good missed it quite a bit......
The happy bday boy (now 24 :P)
The Cake as requested (unbeknownst to me) by my much prettier half to my sister :)
***thank you darling*
The Bday boy with the dishwasher and the cook :P kekekekeke
Altogether now :)
This is my new soft toy to keep Manny company
And my parentals :)
It was a nice. sweet 24th. would've loved it somebody else was here..... but considering where i was ... i can't complain too much.....
and i must say THank you to everybody who sent me a msg on FB :)
feeling super loved :P hahahah
next cycle..... 2020 :S..... crazy.......

O what a wretched man i am.
Ever wondered why you're here?
Ever stopped and thought...... isn't everything qute pointless at the end of the day?
Ever wanted to be completely different to who you are right now?
Ever thought that everything you experience.. you will most likely forget... and that one day.. it'll be through your own eyes that you will experience your own death?
Ever thought that your entire life will be nothing more than an extended progression of funerals... ultimately culminating in your own?
i have....
and i wonder what i would be like if i was not me...... if i was someone else...
some days i almost wish i was that someone else..
i think so far ahead that one day i'll be looking through my eyes and i'll close them..... and never open them again..... and that when that day comes... i'll have lost so many people i know....
people i like... people i don't... people i'll have met once.... people i'll have known all of my life.... all gone in the end...
i think about experiences that i'll never have, like growing up going to an american high school (i know weird desire.. but still) being the cool guy that everybody wants to be friends with. or maybe even being that hardcore guy that everybody's scared of....
i know they sound stupid.. but still... just thoughts....
been thinking a lot about myself lately..... and i begin to question who i really am...
mainly i think... what am i actually good at?.. and i concede that i excel at nothing... i am okay or maybe even good at many different things.. but i am the best at nothing in any respect..
i also think where everything is going... and i wonder if ANYthing will work out the way i want to... or if nothing i planned will happen.... and then what?
i play the what if game and i wonder whether i'm going to be the loser or the guy who just breaks even.......
i don't know why all these long thoughts all came to me, but they do and they swirl around me reminding me of nothing but vultures circling dying animal.... seeking to undo me...
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
