Well, I'm writing this as I'm eating my first ever burnt egg sandwich. The taste isn't as bad as I thought it would be, although the smoke signals that were sent from our apartment door probably alerted the neighbours (Which explains why the neighbour kids trooped on down the hallway, and walked on into our apt as if they owned the place.) They're cute kids, and one of them knows english pretty good; however, if their parents knew that they were walking around in the weyguk saram's apartment (korean-english for "foreign person"), then they'd probably get something short of a spanking, and a warning to not do it again....I should add that they were polite, and they removed their shoes before walking through our apartment and opening doors at random.
I should add that the reason for my burnt egg sandwich was the smoking hot Lucy Lui. No, she wasn't in my apartment, although if she was, I wouldn't kick her out like we did to the kids. I just watched Lucky Number Slevin the other night, and although the movie wasn't half bad, Lucy Lui made the movie that much more enjoyable. Why can't this woman land a staring role somewhere outside of her often referenced role's in Charlie's Angel's? She's smoking, and I'd watch the dvd anytime just for her. Okay, enough about Lucy Lui.
So, not much is new in the world of Bryan. My students have been complaining recently about how hard their lives are, due to mid-term tests at elementary school. One thing that maybe North America should introduce from South Korea is the jump-rope competitions that elementary schools have - each student MUST achieve a certain number of jumps, or risk being held after school to do extra exercising. This is all done to encourage a healthy lifestyle, and encourage not being obese and fat.....I fail to see the correlation of jump-rope keeping you thin and healthy, however, Mohammed Ali did jump-rope all the time in training for his bouts, and, well, you can argue that point of healthy-bodies and jump-rope with him; i for one wouldn't want to disagree after seeing the great shape he was in.
The weather has turned sour, and we're now in monsoon season, where for the next two weeks or so, it will rain on and off pretty much 24 hours straight. Now, its not as bad as it seems, however, for me, and my forgetful nature, I hate having to remember to take my umbrella with me everywhere; I constantly forget it, and then get caught in a 30 second downpour that leaves me just wet enough to be uncomfortable. oh well, knowing me, by the time i get accustomed t taking the thing with me, it will be over, and then I'll leave the umbrella somewhere, and be just fine.
Other than that, one of my smart students just got the awful but exciting news from her parents that they're sending her to an Australia boarding school to learn even more english. That's right - her parents aren't rich enough to already send her to two english institutes, but they decided that in order for their daughter to have the best education possible, she needs to go to Australia to live in a foreign english village, and learn and be forced to speak English full-time; kids here have it so rough. She's floored, although she was already the smartest girl in my class; I was asking if she'd like to take my "teacher, he's is from the bacumbagu" student, however, she balked at the idea; i'll never know why.
take care all, and God bless!
