too many things have happened the past few days so ill just talk abt yesterday .
i went hiking with my godparents ! yes i love hiking even though this mountain i did was one of the most difficult ones ive done .
the mountain's called jonggu mountain and well we climbed 3.5km of it and well walking or running on even road seems easy for that distance but climbing up rocks was preety hard . at first there was nice paths to climb on but it got windier , rockier and well you get the picture . it was really a challenge . but the weather was great . some sun , nice breeze , you gotta LOVE the sound of trees and leaves rustling in the breeze and the stream flowing . beautiful .just really angry w myself for frgetting to bring my camera . its in times like these i truly cant forgive myself . pffwt .
but anws . rested every now and then . and i didnt dare rest for long cos i was afraid ill get lazy if i slacken . so mostly i kept going . we finally reached the two pagodas after 3.5km and it was really beautiful . saw a hamster like mouse . omg it was really adorable . and saw a dead snake . disgusting . wildhares too .
and since its my blog and i ramble alot , ill just say the story of the two pagodas .
one was shorter than the other . thats the sister one . and the taller one is the brother one .
well long ago in the goryeo dynasty , there was this monk living all by himself up on this mountain . his mentor had died and he never knew his parents so he lived alone . he took care of the animals , though wild , in the forest . and one day he came across this tiger choking on a bone so he helped the tiger remove the bone .
a few days later ,the tiger returned with a young beautiful girl in a wedding gown (traditional one) fast asleep on its back . the tiger had stoled her on the night of her wedding and decided to give her as a present to the monk to show his gratitude for helping him remove the bone .(seriously it sounds wonky , but thats how the story goes )
anw , this monk was a monk so he couldnt keep the girl as his wife of course , so he decided to return her to her village . but back in the village , she already earned a bad reputation for running off on her wedding night and the girl didntwant to marry the man anw cos it was an arranged marriage and she didnt love him anw . so the monk took care of her and loved her like a sister . the girl fell inlove with the monk , but the monk knew better cos he had already promised to dedicate himself to his god of course , so he told her he will only love her as a sister . (which i must say isimpressive cos how do you actually control your feelings for someone ?) but at least he is nth like the monk i mentioned in my earlierposts . so when this monk and his sister died , they built 2 pagodas and buried them here .
i still find the tiger part hard to believe buth well .
they had stone turtles there too and i sat on one cos it is said to bring good luck if you sit on one but i dont knw really . and i made a small pagoda too andmade a wish .
hopefully it comes true . cos its important .
then we started our descent .
if climbing up was tough , going down is really tricky . my air force nikes , the ones that are dying with the soles torn and holes in the heels , well i wore them and becos there is hardly any friction left , i almost slipped once or twice . and almost sprained my ankle but alls fine .
just that i threw my shoes at the end of the day cos really it was time forhimto go .
gosh i do feel sad . i wore him for 4 years .
anw , i didnt have to worry cos my godparents bought me new pair of shoes . they are really awesome in my opinion but its just too pink . but i love it in any case . and giulia if youre reading this , these pair of addidas are off limits . so you can see but no touch ;D
anws , said goodbyes to god ma and godpa and hopefully i will meet them soon somewhere else .
reached home at 6 and went out for buffet at thisplace called sea & farm and well there is seafood . i ate octopus by accident and i ran to the toilet , to hurl of course . its like chewing rubbery tire . o m g ,how can ppl eat this kinda stuff ?
anw ate alot of course cos yimobu kept saying , im paying 30 bucks for each person , you better eat lot or ill be disappoointed . so i ate a hell lot .
jeez . always eating under pressure .
and yimobu said i was fat and from the way he said it , he hates fat girls . he is so mean to jaimee too just bcos she is nt exactly petite . koreans care way too much abt the outlook and thats very bad . i felt like telling him , he is the one stuffing me with food and he says im so ugly cos im fat . but that didnt affect me at all i dont knw why . and he says the next time i come back to korea , i better be slim . oh well whatever . ill make sure i have the last say . hmph ;D sg boys can be mean but im grateful i dont live in korea .
just walking on the streets and watching tv , i can tell that korean women only think that sharp pointy noses , big eyes and long legs are very nice . of course its all very nice , but they all look the same . its boring . and fake . most koreans do plastic surgery thats why ! even yimobu was the one who asked jaimee to go for surgery to make her double eyelid just cos she was born with single eyelids like most koreans . korea is too vain
that felt good saying all that .
went kbox after that and sang like crazy . jaimee and annie went nuts anw . haha
itried digging up a few english songs and i guess i did enjoy myself ;D
watched sex and the city when got home . then went to sleep .
going out at abt 6 later for bbq pork again . (save me ) and shopping stuff for friends .
ytd i went to the mart and wiped out their whole stock of grape bubblegum but i think its still not enough for everyone back in sg .
so buying more and more today .
cant wait for transformers when i get back .
i know its gonna be sick ! ;D
i dont think im actually prepared for school .
