천세: Last day.

My time here has been such an interesting and unexpected experience.
There were good times, bad times, boring times, and fun times.

I think that working here has truly been a blessing now that I can look back on the time that I had here. The people were so kind to me. The workload was always more than manageable. Aside from waking up early, I had absolutely nothing to complain about. I had it made.

But not everyone is having the time of their life at the company. A lot of people (everyone?) are stressed out, tired, and exhausted. So I really tried to use all the energy I had to make them happy or to give them some of my energy. More than anything though, I wanted to leave a good and lasting impression on the people I worked with.

I gave a final speech before I left the company, and in that speech, I suggested to everyone that on the days that they're feeling down, the days that they're bored, and the days that just seem to never end, to think about me and smile... if not laugh.

Hopefully, the time that I was able to spend with my co-workers, I was able to make fond memories for them to reminiscence on those slow, boring, sad days. I'm gonna miss them. I'm really going to miss them. :(

Lastly, I told them that if we didn't share a memory together, just remember this dance.

This dance is called: Superman.

You are about to witness the very first (and probably last) dance performance at Cheonsei Industries!

Been so busy lately...

...but right now is VACATION! Lunar New Year. Ahhhhhhhhhhh... :)

I can honestly say that I have never been so tired from doing so little. I'm still thankful for this blessing/opportunity I've been given, but not gonna lie, I'm exhausted...
Here are some pictures I recently took in 동대문 (Dong-dae-moon), a fairly large popular outdoor shopping area in Seoul. There was some sort of ceremony going on... got lucky. Right place, right time.

Also, the last picture is of a friend of mine. I really like the picture. Reminds me of "Blurry Things" by Trever Hoehne. Hahahaha. The shot was completely accidental. (Much like all of my other favorite shots... the unexpected "wow factor" really makes come pictures more memorable than others, at least for me.) Give me feedback! Thanks yalllllllllllssssssssss.

SNOW!

These pictures were not taken all on the same day, so don't be muddled when you get near the end of the post and notice the lack of snow in the pictures. Never lived in a place where it snowed. I've been to places and experienced snowfall, but I never experienced it as part of a daily routine. It was fun but now I'm over it. Everything is slippery, cold, and wet. I like this series. Maybe it's because I've never shot snow and it's a first. Anyway, enjoy!

Chinatown in Korea.

I had a chance to visit my dad's hometown: Incheon. Had no idea that there was a Chinatown there... it wasn't as big as the one in San Francisco, but it had a similar feel to it.









Here's another shoutout: Thanks to all you guys and girls that read this thing. I do it for you. Lol.

Birds at a Traditional Tea House (전통 찻집)

In a small little area inside of Seoul, 인사동 (In-Sah-Dong), there's a quaint traditional tea house. They serve old traditional herbal/medicinal teas. I had "harmony tea"? Don't remember exactly. The tea was aiite, but they had little finches flying around inside! They serve a small cracker-like snack to eat with the tea, but I ended up using it as bait for my pictures. Mwahaha. I still don't know if I'm allowed to feed the birds. They crapped on the table. They didn't crap in my tea though. I think that's all that matters, right?

Let me know what you think.

And I'm pretty sure the only people that are gonna be seeing this blog is Jillian, Eric, Wes, and Andrew. Hahahaha. :) There's all yalls' shoutout.

I'm getting my hair cut.

I was going to try to make this blog all about pictures, but this is an exception.

I'm waiting for my turn at a small beauty parlor to get my hair cut. I talked a bit with these people and now they want my to come back and hang out with them. They want to practice their english on me or just learn from me. I feel like some sort of sensei. Hahahaha.

I have church at 1:30pm and right now is 12:30pm.

Hope I make it on time.

This place offers coffee, tea, or juice.
They shampoo and condition your hair after it's cut.
Complimentary internet (hence this post)
All of the above along with the haircut for $10!

I think that's a deal.

Well, I'm gonna log off now and look around aimlessly and pretend that I don't feel awkward. :)
Yay for not being able to speak and completely understand Korean!!
Yay second generation!!
...lol.

Starting fresh. =)

My adventures in Korea!

Let me know what you think. :)

Picture post.

I wish I could be cool and have a "photoblog" and look all professional and whatnot...

Well, here's a shot at the dream.

Enjoy! :)
