SINCERELY,

Life

2009-08-03T00:24:00.000-07:00

I'm missing the old days when I was freelancing so that I could have a lot of spare time reading and enjoying the sunshine as I sip some coffee. Not that I hate my job but it is way too busy and all the people just keep calling me. I'm getting like 3-4 phone calls at the same time these days. My life has never been like this. In fact, I used be more like an unresponsive person.

Anyway, I assisted my boss to pull out 2 big gigs during the past 2 weeks and now I'm ready to be distant from the office, chilling at my mom's house. The only problem is that people just keep calling me even if I'm on a vacation. How would they know that? Ahh I wish I could change my number at least during the vacation!

The Awesome Potluck

2009-05-09T06:07:00.000-07:00

I finally pulled out the very first event that I planned as Hye of Mintgrove called The Awesome Potluck. As you may know by the name, it is a simple potluck party but the thing is, the participants are the readers of Mintgrove, because I think it is very important for me to connect to the readers and for the readers to connect with each other who share same interests face to face. There were only 4 participants and with 3 that I already knew, but it was still relaxing and fun. I hope to see more new faces next time....eeh and I found a perfect house to move in at last! I'm so excited to decorate my new house! It's gonna be the headquarters of my new project that I'm preparing in stealth. Bring some flowers, small trees, gold fishes...and food! You are always welcome!

BUSYBUSYBUSY

2009-05-06T11:18:00.000-07:00

nah, i'm not busy. i just wanna make myself much busier than i am. i finally hit the gym in half a year today. it just astonishes me how lazy i've been. i was being such a loser and felt so lost recently. things definitely didn't go and work the way i wished. but rather than desparing and weeping, i'd go out, synthesize melatonin, and share my thoughts with the others. I'm moving out from the current room situated in a lousy neighborhood by the end of this month. and with this as a momentum, I'm gonna start a new chapter of my life!

Done Updating.

2009-05-03T03:53:00.000-07:00

Ooh...I labored a couple hours updating Mintgrove today. I love how it looks, and maybe it is my favorite theme i've ever done with the blog. A classic arabesque pattern and colors that stand out...which together look somewhat...i'd say...corny! You should check it out, too. (Sorry for non-Korean readers.)

Blogging Gives You Hell.

2009-04-29T08:47:00.001-07:00

I quite abandoned this blog, once my "public" diary, about three months ago as I started the news blog called Mintgrove. I'm trying pretty hard to promote Mintgrove and update some worthy articles everyday and I found out that blogging is like walking on a lonesome road when you don't attract enough readers who are willing to interact with you. It feels isolating and sometimes useless. I'm like "who cares?" at least four, five times a day and then, I keep doing it somehow persuading myself that somebody's waiting for updates and it could be my portfolio.

When I had an opportunity to attend to a seminar about the dynamics and the impact of blogosphere half a year ago, I asked to the speaker, who himself was a power blogger, about how he promoted his blog and how much time he spent on blogging. He said he was promoting his blog by visiting other influential blogs and leaving comments and trackbacks with a link to his blog and he spent at least 6 freakin hours a day only for the blog. This shit is mad serious and crazy. I thought I would rather be a construction worker than a blogger at that time. Blogging is a painstaking activity. It requires tenaciousness, diligence, faith, and creativity to a certain extent. Anyway, I think I'll keep doing it even if it was not my cup of tea. I'll just swallow it. Big ups to all the bloggers over the blogosphere. you all deserve a big applause!

FEBULOUS

2009-02-01T10:45:00.000-08:00

I feel kinda listless these days. Everything around me feels so boring and I just wanna do nothing but eating and rolling in the bed all day. While I was being idle, the first month of 2009 has flied away and now I'm letting February to slip away too. Maybe I should try something new, like learning French, cooking, embroidery and alike, just to get this Mr. Lazy out of my system.

Tabatha's In and Out

I really like to read Tabatha's posts since they are fun and outrageous and I love her shit-talking and I-JUST-DONT-FUCKING-CARE attitude. And especially, her annual(or biannual) In and Outs are the best. They are brilliant, hilarious and quite illuminating too! Ha! have Fun!

Blogspot Sucks!

2009-01-27T19:16:00.000-08:00

If you're thinking about starting to blog, please, do not use Blogspot, like me. It just sucks, seriously. It doesn't provide really basic functions(not back then) like trackback. Blogspot only supports a trackback-like function called "backlink" but it is so inconvenient and much analog. And can you see the pictures posted on my blog now? Images should be in an exact size that the page can contain within or the they will look so distorted and rough. (The width of the main body is about only 500px maximum. GOOGLE! you're freakin kidding me right?)
Please, do not choose Blogspot just because you already have a Google account so you wouldn't have to go through a registration again. Think Smart! or your blog becomes a pain in the ass.

ROOTS CREW, THAT'S WASSUP.

2009-01-22T06:07:00.000-08:00

Man, finally I saw the Roots' live with my eyes. Now I totally understand why people always put the adjective "legendary" before the name of the band. The Roots Crew is like a band of the supremes. Each member of the crew pulled the best of them making a perfect harmony. Especially, when they played my all-time favorite, You Got Me, I almost cried in awe. You know, the accelerating drum line in the end along with the beautiful chorus. I'm sorry that they will retire from touring for a while starting from March 2009, as they become the new house band for the Late Night Show. I'm blessed. Yes, I'm blessed. I hope their retirement wouldn't last long.

SO BORED.

2009-01-16T01:35:00.000-08:00

From time to time, my brain works ridiculously. I always get hugely bored in the busiest times. I know that I should move and get things done to the best but every time I feel such burden, formidable boredom just conquers my body and soul. Ahhhhhh... I think I need to grow up some more. Get the hell out of me, irresponsibility!

Vashtie.

2009-01-14T08:51:00.000-08:00

I got to know about Vashtie for the first time perhaps in 2004 or something. She was Pharrell's girlfriend back then and I didn't know her any better. But I could definitely see one thing, that she's got a style which made me become obsessed about her later on. I don't really like to see girls wearing Jordans since they match them in too tomboy or ghettoish or stupidly awkward ways (e.g. AJs with neon orange sleeveless jersey one-piece which shows the upper-half of boobs along with all that tawdry accessories) most of the time. But she was different. I love her deep eyes, cute smile with dimples on her cheeks and her style. I wish we had such a female fashion icon in Korea. We lack cultural icons in here... or is anybody out there?

Most Ignored Album of 2008

2009-01-07T05:59:00.001-08:00

Click to download: Death of Autotune by Roger Riley & Teddy Troutman

I confess, I'm a huge fan of Kanye West, and I'm pretty sick of autotuned sounds myself. However, I think Kanye's latest album, 808s and Heartbreak is prematurely rejected and ignored by listeners just because the album is commonly known for its use of autotune, which is not a big part or main concept of this album in the end. I think many of the listeners who declaim the album is wack, wouldn't have listened to the album in the first place and they believe so after they read a lot of negative comments and articles that wishes autotune to be dead already. To be honest, I was one of those listeners, and I was even scared of listening to the album since I am a Kanye's big fan and I was worried of getting disappointed of his new work. But many of the tracks were beautifully heartbreaking axiomatically and some sprinkles of autotune didn't bother me at all. Maybe we all should concede that Kanye has made a fortune that he may not be able to spend all in his lifetime so he is doing what he wants to do at each point of his life, like he would go for an internship at some fashion house before he gets into the fashion business seriously.

Anyways, it's up to you whether you choose to listen to the album or not, but what I'm saying is, I LOVED IT.

Listen up y'all. The legendary Roots is coming to Seoul on Jan 21. It is the first tour of the Roots to Korea and we know the show's gonna be awesome without a doubt. At their visit, one of the dopest streetwear shops in Korea, Phatrope.com teamed up with Okayplayer and released the official tour t-shirt. I gave a little help with the making of this t-shirt, too!

So if you're going to the concert or want to commemorate their first visit, go Phatrope.com and grab one for you and another for your mom, dad, friends, brothers and sisters. Available in black and burgundy.

Say bye-bye to the year 2008

2008-12-28T07:03:00.000-08:00

I can barely smell the usual upbeat atmosphere of an year-end this year. Neither loud-ass Christmas carols in the street nor a crowd in department stores for year-end shopping sprees.

I have witnessed several national crises in 2008, along with the plunged stock prices and the exchange rate shock. The No.1 national treasure Namdaemun being burnt down by a sociopathic arsonist, an oil-tanker crashing down in the West Sea and millions of citizens protesting the resumption of beef import from the U.S. in concern of mad cow disease. We Koreans have had enough of the bad news and now we all want to hear of some good news. So here I hope the upcoming 2009 to be a little more exciting and beautiful for all of us.

Happy New Year

The Worst Season for a Woman of Bad Skin

2008-12-23T01:56:00.000-08:00

I feel pretty guilty that I've been away from blogging for a while but like some of you might smell something already, I'm in a love game and some other things such as reliving stress and improving my tortured skin. I don't know why but my complexion has gone unusually terrible, perhaps hormones are guilty here.

My mom suggested me to go to see a dermatologist and take medicine for blemishes but I know by experience that the medicine most of the dermatologists prescribe significantly influences the hormone system and dry up whole body. Therefore, I decided to change my lifestyle - vegetable-oriented diet, sleeping enough and drinking a lot of water - and a line of cosmetics into more natural and organic one, rather than to take medicine.

Now I'm using the followings as my daily aesthetic regimen and I can see my troubled skin is gradually improving.
(FYI: My skin type is dry combination and I usually have pimples before the period)

+ Malin+Goetz Grapefruit Facial Cleanser ****
(Gentle gel-type cleanser for all skin types, slight scent of grapefruit, no foaming agents, treats blemishes)
+ Aesop Parsley Seed Anti-oxidant Toner ***
(Brown liquid toner with a strong menthol scent, quite pricy for a toner)
+ Fresh Lotus Eye Gel *****
(Light texture, highly moisturizing, fresh scent of lotus, reduces puffiness and dark circles, moderate price, Highly Recommended!)
+ Fresh Umbrian Clay Oil-Free Moisturizer ***
(Made from Fresh's own Umbrian clay - Fresh has an exclusive contract for Umbrian clay, Non-comedogenic, Hydrating, I use it instead of serum, slightly scented)
+ Clinique Moisture Surge Cream ****
(Famed hydrating pink, gel-type cream, you can also use it as mask, no scent, cheap)

For the day we all get to have fair skin.

Weekendliness

2008-11-14T00:06:00.000-08:00

In the next 23 minuites, I'm soooo off the work for this week. This week was particularly hectic because the work load was freakin tremendous and I couldn't sleep very well for a few nights. I even overtimed yesterday until 9 pm translating the entire 28 news articles.

Anyways, I finished assigned task a little earlier today and now I'm killing time blogging.
Half the office is already empty and it is very calm inside but I can feel the sheer but obvious upbeat atmosphere in here. The weather is kindly chilly and it feels great to have an appointment with someone on Friday evening.

You,too, have a joyful weekend.

I met up with my friend Sang-kwon aka Quandol, member of Korean band Windy City, last night in Hongdae. We had delectable burritos (me eating cilantro amazed myself) and bounced to a salsa bar in Itaewon to attend a b-day party of Quandol's older friend. It was a refreshing moment. Asian, Hispanic, Black, White... everyone was gathering together and having fun dancing no matter what their color is.

It was my first time to go to a salsa bar and I didn't know how to dance (I didn't feel awkward, though) and just watched others dancing beautiful and sexy at first. Then, Quandol started teaching me basic steps. After I learned the steps, Quandol challenged me to dance with him. It was a little nervous in the beginning, but soon I found myself enjoying it. I felt quite tired afterwards since I've been away from workout but I rrrrreaaallllly had a loooooooooootttt of fun!

Thanks, Quandol!

KEEPINTIME: A LIVE RECORDING

2008-10-23T18:35:00.000-07:00

I remember that I watched this video on a bus to way back home from Pyeongtaek a year ago.

Inside the bus was pitch-black and most of the passengers were sleeping. I had my laptop with me incidentally at that time and I decided to do something with it for an hour because I didn't wanna fall asleep. I opened up my Macbook, turned it on. Then I recalled that Dong-hwa, my dear friend studying in fashion in Tokyo, sent me some kind of music documentary and you know I love documentaries.

KEEPINTIME is basically a video documentation of a live session of some of the best DJs in the States and a splendid line of old percussionists. There's nothing shocking or melodramatic. (by the way I was thrilled watching them generating such amazing harmony... so much freedom and creativity) You're gonna be just like one of those audiences in the film moving back and fourth bouncing. Nothing more to be explained and now you will go watch it for yourself.

Dwele - Sketches of a Man (2008)

2008-10-14T06:38:00.001-07:00

As far as I concern, Dwele has become "widely known" since he featured in Yeezy's 'Flashing Lights' on Graduation album released last year. He was pretty underground and he still keeps it real even though he is big now.
Lately, I've been listening to his new album 'Sketches of a Man' a lot. His delicate and smooth voice blows my anxiety away and let my mind relax and chill for a while. Now that the weather turns cool and breezy, this album cannot help but working for you looking for love, too.

Must-listen tracks out of the album>>

1. Workin' on it - if you're a Dilla listener, you shouldn't miss this track. two can win, baby, what else?

2. Brandi feat. Slum Village - after you listen to Workin' on it, don't press FF. Wait and proceed to the beautiful next track called Brandi.

3. I'm Cheatin - This one, you can also enjoy M/V on youtube.

4. Love Ultra - warm, calm, smooth, lovely

5. Body Rock - crisp, trendy closing track that sampled Mint Condition's Pretty Brown Eyes

Happy Chuseok Everyone

2008-09-12T20:53:00.000-07:00

As many of you might know, I'm working these days and most of the office hours, I translate. I translate all the time. So I feel like getting away from typing, reading or writing an alphabet when I get off the work. So much complaining done and I think it is enough now. HAHA

Well, tomorrow is Chuseok, Thanksgiving in Korea so I will head to Daegu tonight to have some songpyeon(crescent moon shaped mochi with sesame powder and brown sugar in it), special dish for Chuseok. In this year, Chuseok holidays last only for 3 days(even Sunday is included!) and we know our economy is in the red.

But I wish happy Chuseok for everyone anyway.

Cool Calm Weekend

2008-08-30T08:41:00.000-07:00

I really feel thankful for weekends recently - to be specific, after I started working. I'm pretty busy during the office hours (8:30~17:30) and I go to gym to work out afterwards. So I get totally knocked out as soon as I get home. That is why there hasn't been new posts on this blog, too.

I'm getting to know how one can enjoy the greatness of weekends. Sleeping until I wake up (around 1~2 pm), being dressed in comfy shirt, pants, and a pair of sneakers, reading magazines and books sipping some latte with a bite of croque monsieur, and updating blogs :c)

Ahh, what a wonderful life.

Try to be a pleasant surprise, will you?

2008-08-13T22:59:00.000-07:00

Half of this month has gone already and my first week at work is about to end in a few hours since tomorrow is the Memorial Day in Korea. So I’m heading to Daegu to celebrate mom’s birthday.

It hasn’t been that much hectic working here than I thought. I’m usually busy in the morning, translating news synopses and not much during the rest. The office is decent with perfect air conditionings. People here are also great…They are very considerate and easy despite they’re mad busy to get their own job done.

Yesterday, Fleishman-Hillard’s President/CEO, Dave Senay came to Korea and visited our office. I actually have seen him at a seminar about a year ago, so this was my second time meeting him. Fleishman-Hillard Korea held a welcoming party for him at Seoul Club near Namsan. We had such a wonderful time having a dinner together along with precious speeches of our senior staff and Dave at the pool side. I’m so proud that I’m working for a company with such developed corporate culture.
I’ll put up some pics of my colleagues and of the party later :)

Don't quit your day job

2008-08-07T10:22:00.000-07:00

My first-ever job begins next Monday at Fleishman-Hillard Korea.

I'm so excited to work with PR professionals and to learn a lot. It's time to tighten up myself again...cuz I got to shine!

Yeahhhh.

I can't believe that I can get this nervous. The job interview is about a half-day ahead so I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but it was absolutely no use. I'm worried about every detail. Whoa...Maybe I really wanna work for the company, right? Err thing's gonna be alright.

yeah.

2008 is a commemorative year, which is the 10th anniversary of '88 Seoul Olympic, the milestone in globalization of Korea. Now 360 Sounds and all the creators/consumers of the culture of Seoul proudly present a public square to get together and celebrate it and now the time's coming for you to be a part of it. Don't ever sleep on it if you're a constituency of this culture or a citizen of Seoul.

See you then!

2008-08-04T08:36:00.000-07:00

I'm feeling I'm really getting old these days, especially after a heavy drinking. I went to my best friend Mina's 25th birthday party last saturday and I couldn't even wake myself up for a day. I felt better today so I finally went out to get some fresh airrr. The weather is comparatively fine and I was so focused on reading until I got to know that I would have a job interview on Wednesday. I got a little nervous already.

After, my friend E-Sang came to Gangnam Stn. to have dinner together. He treated me as an apology for being late. There are not so many places that serve quality dishes in Gangnam and IORI is one of the exceptions. Its specialty is cold Udong but we had hot ones anyway.

Thanks for the dinner, ESang!

Dave, the creative director of Colab get by Korea on his/his girfriend's way back to Austrailia. He had an interview with Maps magazine in the afternoon and I was the interpreter for today so we headed to Daily Project with Song and Jinsoo of IKONZ. The photographer of maps was so impressed with Dave's charms that she wanted to occupy a full page with his profile shot.

After the interview we had lunch together and split away then we caught up again later in the evening to have dinner together. We had some grilled pork and bounced for the Hard Rock Cafe Seoul in Itaewon.

Finally, I got to meet Mikyung for the first time since the summer vacation began. She's now working at PR dept. of LINA(Life Insurance Company of North America) Korea. Intelligent one. We had Samkyetang(Chicken Soup with Ginseng) to boost yang-ki. I'm in a regret that I forgot to take a picture of it. Then we had desserts and some talk at Timothy's. They definitely serve good coffee.

Sweeet.

Mikyung, Keep up the good work, girl!

It was still cloudy when I woke up in the afternoon, so I decided not to go out but my friend Mina texted me and pulled me out to Itaewon. We were supposed to meet at 7 but I arrived at the transfer subway station 30 mins earlier than I expected. Then I wanted to take a walk.
On the sidewalk to Itaewon

Mina copped nice satin heels and I got myself a cute blue purse. She wanted to have some cocktail but I let her down since I've been abstemious for ummm...3 days. She compromised to have spagetti instead.

After I wrapped up watching CSI LV's 8th season, I was in a total panic that lasted for a few minutes...no, hours...No, I think I'm still about there. It isn't remained that shocking by now but the ending scene of the last episode comes to me intermittently and it makes me feel so...umm...dazed repetedly.

I guess you are the worst murderer ever since the show began, Jerry...

I don't wanna be seemed as a culture critic here, so don't ever get me wrong. I'm just saying what I've been thinking for a while, aight? then here I start.

Without a doubt, underground culture in Korea has long been controlled by the capitalism and we might as well admit that we still don't have a firm, furtile cultural ground for it to blossom. In the same vein, Handful of "street"brands pop out and disappear as if they've never existed every year and among them, a couple success scraping their cuts selling T-shirts with zero creativity and huge margins - a total flash in the pan as well as a highway robbery.

I haven't gone thru any market research but it might be safe to assume that teens are the main target/consumer of Korean domestic street wear. The young'ns just follow the trends forged by the market dominators with financial power because - the money - is the one makes broad promotions and distributions possible. They just don't need or have veritable visions. It's all about money. Teens, the present consumers and prospective creators of the underground culture, have been losing their power to think and the right to enjoy the culture with discretion. That's a shame.

Last Jul 21 was our DJ Soulscape's 30th(in Korean age) birthday.

We had a small but crazy fun party at a wine bar in Apgujeong( I guess the bar's somewhat related to the Second Hotel.) Other attendants were already half-drunk when I got to the scene...especially Shigeru of 360Sounds was totally singing and dancing to the music.

mildly drunk plaski

Later Boram appeared with a rough birthday cake made of Chocopie with a mad flaming bunch of candles that Soulscape couldn't blow off for the first few tries.

Mad candles.

After we emptied 7-8 bottles of wine, we bounced to NB, a.k.a. a blackhole, to bounce. Jinmoo treated us with a bottle of tequila then we're so ready to be fucked up. It was 6:30 am when I got back home thanks to the considerate lift of Soulscape.

Thanks to Soulscape for the HELL of a party and the lift.

and again, Happy Birthday!

another article of "the editor"of GQ Korea.

Some of you might have noticed that the post that I promised to put up some about the city of Daegu, which is my hometown, was gone. Yup, I deleted it because I found out that I didn't bring the USB cable of my camera so I wouldn't be able to attach some boring-but-still-helpful visual aids. But I will as soon as I come back to Seoul.

Okay, hmm...what was I supposed to say... Oh yeah. I wanna talk about the magazines in Korea today.

I went to bathroom right after I woke up. Sitting on the toilet(sorry if yo were eating) I picked up a 2006-vintage GQ Korea from the paper rack. The very person who bought the book was me so it was like 10-min review. I randomly flipped some pages and I found an article giving a quick preview of the next season's collections of different designers with brief descriptions on the bottom that bothered me a lot. They were just tawdry and shallow. It goes like "Real Gucci Boy," "A Man who's going grocery shopping." Can you believe this? Even 5 year old boy will write better than that. But this is not only the editor's or GQ's problem. This problem is pandemic through most of the s0-called high fashion magazines in Korea. I've had a few chances to observe how the editors work in Korea and ALL of them were very disappointing. They didn't show any professionalism in interviewing, communicating, and writing. They didn't know what they were doing but they worked for high-quality magazine companies anyway. (I won't go the name by the name)

I'm not saying that I'm the best writer and you all editors suck but it is pretty obvious that many editors in Korea lack knowledge and insight from deep thought and various experience. As far as I know, people, particularly women purchase magazines to get the free gifts, not to read the magazine itself. Over the half of an issue is filled with ads and advertorials and we all know that it is unavoidable. Then I think editors are liable to produce articles in appropreate quality as the compensation.

It is great to have experimental, progressive, abstruse and i-don't-know-what-it-is type of graphics in a magazine. However, where is the basic - neat grid, pinpointing article with light scent of humor and information that readers truly want?

Getting the grind on, again

2008-07-08T08:49:00.000-07:00

Finally I could absorb glaring sunshine with exposed parts of my body. Such somewhat botheringly bright sunshine was even thankful since it's been cloudy for a while in Seoul. I could feel the body pleasantly synthesizing melatonin. Ahhhh...THIS IS SUMMER.

I ran late for the first meeting of the study group that I was considering to participate in. The meeting stumbled on some minor conflicts between the members and I didn't like it. They were already fighting to dominate the power dynamics in such small study group...for what?! Well, I understand that the steamy weather make people grouchy and pretty violent (Not for me, it just makes me lazy)

Anyhow, I began to seek for some materials to read(mostly blogs) and put them up on the right side of this page so please visit and have a taste - and let's share if you know other cool stuff to read(blog, magazine, books and whatever) Especially, I found one of those blogs, "Where My Mind Has Wandered" through the latest seminar material of Fleishman-Hillard Korea. So I guarantee that you will like itif you're a prospective PR professional. Reading what Top-Of-The-Line Insiders think and are into, I suddenly felt ashamed of myself being idled away. I'm passionate again and I'll do what I do from tomorrow (Oops!) Then what I need right now is a deep and comfortable sleep without nightmares.

Good Night!

cuties residing in Seoul Forest

I woke up pretty early to meet Kirin today for we were supposed to have a mini-picnic in Seoul Forest located in the eastside of the city. When I looked up the sky through the window of my room before leaving, it was already foggy and it felt like it was raining invisibly(you know, when it's real humid you can feel the hydrate with your skin... it gets sticky!)

Anyway, I met Kirin at Jamsil Stn. waiting for me with some fried chicken tenders and beers. We swiftly hopped into the subway which was just arriving. With good AC, we could kinda relax in there even though we couldn't get seats. Finally, we arrived at today's destination, Tuksom. The sign on the post standing on the sidewalk said "780m to the forest." It was still stiky but we are young enough to walk that distance. 2-3 mins after we started walking and talking about the weather, it really began raining. WOW. We were half way on the park. The comparatively gentle rain was turning to a shower. We were waiting under a pent roof until the rain got lighter. Then, we decided to go back to the station. We were totally sweaty, the skin feels sticky and my face was glowing with oil.(eeyuck!)

We were tired and didn't want to use our brains anymore despite that we barely did anything. We just wanted to cool off and put something into stomach. So we chose to have the picnic in the subway station. We sat on a bench and started to open what we brought - chicken tenders, french fries and Kimbop. People kept giving glances to us pigging out as they passed by. I felt a little ashamed for the first few minutes but we soon got accustomed to it. We enjoyed our meal at the station and promised to visit an aquarium as a compensation for the picnic.

Power of nature.

Sweltering City

2008-06-30T06:27:00.000-07:00

I can't say that it's blazing hot nor can I say that it isn't.
Rain clouds have been covering the city for a few days but rarely rained then it is very humid and pretty hot like a greenhouse. People get lazier and annoyed in this kind of weather while mosquitos start getting busy. One of the most horrible things of summer nights is the buzz of mosquitos around the ears! (Who's with me!?)

Let's think of a few things that can cool down our hostile mood in this season.

-----------------------------------------------------------

- Nice Airconditioning (Banks,Shopping malls,Library, Theaters...)
- Popsicles (Try not to drip the juice on your body or clothes or you'll get even more bothered)
- Good Music (Bossa Nova, Cool Jazz...or Miami beats yay!)
- Cold-As-Ice-Mojito (Damn right!)
- Chilling with someone you like at a park after sunset

-----------------------------------------------------------
What else?

Le Mythe de Sisyphe

2008-06-24T06:48:00.000-07:00

About a year and a half ago, I went to a bookstore with dad after we had a dinner as he insisted on buying me some good books.(dad always puts so much emphasis on reading...whenever I talk to him, now it feels little like a nag...love ya daddy!) But he let me choose whichever books I want, so the first one I picked was Albert Camus' 'The Myth of Sisyphus' since I liked his another piece, 'The Stranger'

When I picked it up, dad(who once was a zealous supporter of existentialism) seemed a little surprised and I didn't know why. Anyway, the book went right to some corner of the bookshelf and it only had been gathering dust. After 1&1/2 year later, finally I flipped the cover as I sought for some books to read during the summer vacation.

Right to the point, this book is about the meaning of life. Sounds very simple and cliche, I know.(just shut up and read the book then you'll soon find out that the subject is not that simple...)
Camus tries to find out the meaning of life through the relationships between suicide and hope, and the link of the two, absurdity. Both suicide and hope are very easy way to vanish absurdity of our lives, which is actually unavoidable and an essential factor that sustains our lives.

People live on hope that there's God who will give us eternal lives and grace in heaven. And for the sake of immotality, they worship the Greatest. With God(the very one who gives us all the pain and chalenges will finally save us?!), people try to justify their trifling every day lives which seem meaningless from distance.

Another way to break the status of absurdity is suicide, ironically. People, at some point, suddenly get to know that their struggles are no use. It is so clear for them that their lives are boring and tiring. Such lucidity only torments us. Some of us consider the world is too hostile and not worth bothering, so that they lose the will to fight, then the only option left is - suicide.
Some regard suicide is the ultimate method of resistance to the cruel world but the truth to be told, the world just does not care, then the death becomes again, meaningless.

Camus extols absurdity. Absurdity is the most precious way of resistance to the world who doesn't listen or talk. Staying being absurd - conceding the meaninglessness of life but still living on - till their hearts stop beating and all the cognitive activites cease, is the most powerful riot against the world that gives us such painful fates in the first place.

Living More transcends living better.
Fight for the right to live the most.

Summer Vacation

2008-06-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

Fuck Yeah!

One last summer vacation for me has begun. Last three months had been just a hell of a semester as far as I'm concerned; too much pressure seeking jobs and catching up lectures, assignments and projects.

Anyhow it's over and I'm having a tiny break before the summer session begins. I cleaned up the room did some laundry, put some green polish on 10 digits, did some shopping, done reading and all. I'm getting out from the past finally, straighten out some wicked twisted relationships which had got on my nerves all the time. I quit acting a saint. LOL

I will read in this summer. I want to learn, want to be smarter so I can act pretentious, snobbish, and pedantic...... Yeah that must be a thrill!

I munna put some posts about books I read and music I listen to.

Hope you will enjoy.

Gotcha!

2008-06-07T11:49:00.000-07:00

I deeply feel sad that I lost once friend of mine today.
You didn't have to hold back. You didn't have to feed me with useless hope.
I never tried to hide and I never begged so.
I'm sorry that I was not stupid enough to be fooled.
I got you, now it's your turn.

Mad Rat Disease

2008-06-04T23:51:00.000-07:00

I've never regarded myself a political individual and I'm still not. But watching what our Mr. President have been doing for past 3 months makes me very depressed and suspicious about his political proficiency. So far, he seems not to have such maneuver in diplomacy as a top representative of this country. When he visited the U.S., he drove a golf cart for George Bush and a huge smile was in our president's face (correction,he's at least good at sucking ass). Thanking for Bush's such generosity to let him drive, he signed to import beefs from cows aged over 30 months,which tends to have prion - the substance causes mad cow disease. This shocked the whole country and people started to rise up against the decision very peacefully. They came out with candles in their hands. However, Mr. President was so busy to travel around shaking hands with other presidents around the world that he simply ignored people's voice. Then police power intervened finally. They shot water bombs and swung their maces of justice brutally for god's sake. I can't find any democracy in the reactions of our government in this national crisis.

Dear President,

With All Due Respect, You don't have such great power as Mr. Jun or Park once had. We are not stupid as once we were.

Plus, you don't look good as much as Putin, either.

I saw this clip on one of my frequent music communities today. The majority of the responses were negative, quoted as gross/outrageous/idiotic...but in fact I totally enjoyed it. It's sorta like Jackass but it depicted the core value of skateboarding & BMXing, rebellious freedom, very well. Anyhow I think this clip has at least achieved its goal- a buzz- by giving out a shock value to drag people's attention even risking that it might disgust a bunch of people making them form a bad image of the brand. Hands down, this one's a foolhardy success.

STEVE AOKI & THECOBRASNAKE ATTACK SEOUL

2008-05-15T08:06:00.000-07:00

Mark & I

Yes Yes Yes

It has been 2 weeks since I posted the last one. I was not that busy I just ran out sources to write about and finally, I got something to take down.

Last 11th, Steve Aoki, one of the busiest DJs probably in the world, hit Seoul with his buddy Mark the Cobrasnake.

Zinsoo of IKONZ asked me to help setting up KR3W booth at the venue so we arrived 3 hours earlier to finish up before the crowd came in and luckily, we could meet Steve and Mark there quite privately. I showed Mark my pink cobrasnake t-shirt and got autographs from him and Steve.

Later, the crowd started entering in. I was amazed by how they dressed. It was like 97% of fashion people in Seoul were gathering. It ain't a fashion week, boys and girls!(just kidding)

Most of them were skinny, had their eyes smudged with blacky eye shadow, got bitten fingernails, and flamboyant pieces of American Apparel. It was funny that some of them actually came to the party to get paparazzied by Mark. It musta been fun and he shoulda got the index pic of thecobrasnake.com, if someone was in Hanbok, traditional Korean costume.

The party was started by Cut Chemist, former DJ of Jurassic 5 and he showed his talented DJing skills as he made up sequences with people's voices recorded at the spot. After 2 hours of Cut's killing set, Steve finally appeared on the stage. When the fires were flaming up, the audiences started losing control. We jumped, fell, ed banged to the beat- MAD HECTIC. Steve was like a black wizard spelling us with his hypnotic set. I was almost knocked out since I bounced and rocked too hard. But the party was worth it.

If you're a citizen of Seoul and you didn't come to the party,

you should feel sorry by now.

Today was Labor Day in Korea. I have nothing with the day but I was off school anyway.

I've been trying to finish up a school assignment earlier but nothing motivates me, so far, so I was just looking around else things to do then I decided to blog a little.

Yesterday was one of my closest classmates, Immi's 23rd birthday. She rented a residence hotel room for the party. There were about 10 friends and we just ate and drank all night long. Then I got up pretty early in the morning and was just startled by the mighty messiness. Dishes piled up a mile high and swampy aggregate of substances from someone's stomach...(you know what I mean...EEEYUCK!) , and even a rolled t-shirt in the toilet! (WTF) Immi and I cleaned up the half way and I just got outta hell. Anyway it was a fun party and I thank Immi for inviting me.

Happy birthday!

Midterms are almost over and only one more left due tomorrow and I guess tomorrow's exam might be a breeze because I already took a very similar class before. So I'm relaxing chewing some egg cheese sandwich. The weather's little chilly but still fine except for flying pollen. God I'm allergic to pollen and the reaction is quite serious so I'm taking medicine and some cough drops too. But the problem is, I'm getting a stye again this time on the right eye. It's swelling out right now and I think it would be done growing by tomorrow, the last day of the midterm.

I wish I can hit the High Score party with DJ Mitsu the Beats, 360 Sounds and Jazzy Sport Korea but might not be able to for this damn stye cuz I don't want to gross out Mr. Mitsu.

one Very Expensive Cup of Coffee

2008-04-17T08:48:00.000-07:00

Things have never been great like these days.

Midterm exams are ambushing to attack me sooner or later and I can't even count how many essays I should write. And the greatest thing happened 3 days ago. I spilled whole cup of coffee on my beloved MacBook while I was struggling with powerpoint for marketing team project that shoulda been done by the evening for a rehearsal. The power went out right away then didn't come back. I made emergency calls to my teammates that the rehearsal wouldn't be possible and I would definitely make it again by before midnight. Then I went to the service centre to get a diagnosis. Fortunately coffee didn't pervade into the logic board (they say it's the heart of a Mac) so I would need to pay about 200 bucks at highest.
What an expensive cup of coffee.

Hallelujah!

2008-04-12T06:02:00.000-07:00

It's raining assignments and school projects!!

I got 6 assignments to be done by upcoming Monday that I can think of right now . Hope not to die from sleeplessness.

Wow. It feels like I've been away from blogging for some years. I just kept thinking that I should take care of it but I've been "busy," and distracted. But above all, I didn't have much thing to say, basically. I'm getting used to this steady boredom and long fatigue, for which I can't say that it's all bad. Though it was not my will in the first place, I read more books and spend time pondering over the current problem and the future of my life. I listen to good music which pacifies my fluctuating emotions. Especially, The Best of Miles Davis & John Coltrane album helps a lot. I talk to mom and dad more and they care for me.

I just wish the fickle weather of these days gets fine and warmer. Then I munna take a flight bound for anywhere I can enjoy this spring to the most.

Badstye

2008-03-15T22:41:00.000-07:00

When I say Badstye, I ain't misspelling Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. But literally, I got a bad ass stye in my left eye.

It didn't seem that bad until last night, but when I got up this morning, I could barely open the infected eye. The upper eyelid covers almost the half of the eyeball. It's uncomfortable and doesn't look good either. I'll be looked like I got punched right in the eye. However, since the sunshine's so nice today, I decided to walk outta room and grab some coffee. I "covered" my eyes with dark shades because I didn't want to freak out babies in the street.

I guess my immune system has got weakened over last two weeks. I couldn't sleep well and didn't eat good. I can feel I'm getting weaker and weaker. (And I wonder why the god damn weight doesn't move!)

Anyway, here in a coffee shop, I'm lazying out reading books and doing homework due on tomorrow. I'm trying hard not to push already tired myself anymore. I'll go see a doctor if he can get rid of this unpleasant thang out of my eye.

I was hungry for some caffeine and talk so we went to a coffee shop in Sadang.

Plaski showed up in a customized hoody with a gently printed BURUMARBUL logo over WESC logo. If you want it go ask Plaski. Hi might ask you a premium cuz it's incredibly limited by 1 piece only. He handed me his live mix CD, Plaski Box and MASH premiere invitation tickets.

Thanks again,Plaski!

As you know, I'm back to school to finish up my undergrad study.

Thank God I only made 2 tardies during the whole first week. YAY! Big Applause!!

I met mademoiselle Soogi and our PYT, JJ on Friday after school in Gangnam Stn. to consume burritos. Urbanos serves delectable Mexican dishes and my favorite is Supreme Burrito. It's the best burrito I've ever had in Seoul and you even get a free soda & nacho chips during lunch time!(And the owner himself speaks fluent English & Spanish!!)

Well, this week's almost over and I'll get back to reading for tomorrow's class. Wish you another joyful week.

THE LAST NEW SEMESTER

2008-03-02T04:15:00.000-08:00

Since this weekend was the last weekend of this winter vacation, I tried my best to have fun to the most even though I barely slept on friday night. I met Hyesoo and Mina in Itaewon. I found a pair of cheesy shades there and got it at a discounted price because they have a few scratches on the lens. Then we moved to a casual Japanese restaurant that serves one of the best U-dong in town. We kicked back a little at a coffee shop and headed to Hongdae to mingle with IKONZ crew.

Before we get to the store, a fixed gear caught my eyes. I approached to Brandon who was turned out to be the owner of the sweety. He's been riding fixie for an year and what's astonishing was that he started in Seoul. But undoubtedly, he's from SF. We appointed to meet again at the Mash Premiere Seoul in March.

Afterwards, me, my friends and IKONZ crew went to BK's Jazzy Sport Bar and guzzled all types of drink and had quite a serious talk and a lot of laugh. I was high on drinks and the music that was flowing in the bar. If you're looking for a bar with good music, Jazzy Sport bar must be the best choice.

+Hyesoo

+Mina

+Brandon & His Bike

+Hosea

Despite the binge drinking last night, I woke up early and met Mikyoung to chitchat.

Then she left to see her friend and I met my homie Hosea. It was rejuvenating Sunday clearing up all the fuzziness of the week, no of this winter vacation.

I have a class in the morning tomorrow and a pop quiz is being expected. Maybe I should study now. Well good night fellas!

I visited IKONZ store in Hongdae today.

When I got there, all of the crew was working hard (I guess.)

I saw a dart board on one of the pillars and ZS and Choi seemed that they're really obsessed with darting.

+ZS darts!

They closed earlier than usual and we went to chew some pork.

Paul a.k.a. Jungjiwara left with his adorable girlfriend first, then

we, left 4, went to a dart bar on the fervent demand from ZS and Choi, whoe were believed to be dart experts. However, Song (founder of IKONZ) and I won the game. Actually, Song's darting was amazing. He's just talented. He said he had never done it, so if it wasn't a gift from God, he mighta been lying.

+Song, the God of Darting

+Choi(Shop Master)

Afterwards, we had couple more bottles of soju and that was when we started acting fool.

We tore off the signs hanging on a kiosk, we roared, laughed our ass off.

2008-02-27T08:36:00.000-08:00

I'll change from now on just like a born-again christian.

If the christian changed from a near death experience, I crashed into ego-collapsing moments and came to realize that I'm a terrible, inconsiderate individual. I might haven't been caring much about other people's feeling just because I thought I was the one going through the hardest time. Not only it was not true, but also that kinda attitude can never be justified no matter what the excuses are.

So hereby I'll change.

I'll be a better listener.

I'll be more considerate.

I'll think at least twice before I spit out words.

and the most importantly,

I'll be thankful for every given moment.

+Bistro SeeSaw

After an age, I finally met up with Soogi, whom I can even call my soul mate.

We went to our favorite spot for about 2 years, SeeSaw in Gwanghwamun.

They serve fresh salads, variety of pasta & sandwich, and Dallmayr coffee.

Today, we had green salad, clam chowder, chicken teriyaki and crab creme sauce pasta.

+Soogi

We finished up the meal with fresh Dallmayr americano.

And what's wonderful was that generous Soogi treated me to this fantastic dinner.

I LOVE YOU SOOGI!! let's hit Sukara next time!
