So Long, Farewell: It hurts when friends leave Korea.

Wed, 03/13/2013 - 01:14 — devanrosey

I won’t lie, last week in Korea was rough. I should have been elated for the upcoming weekend forecast of warm weather and birthday celebrations for yours truly, but my heart was a little crushed. A handful of fellow teachers departed or began preparations for the journey home. Each time someone leaves I realize how much they’ve influenced my time abroad. I mean, come on, they basically made it.

Happy Birthday Millie

Thu, 02/14/2013 - 19:08 — Lamblet

Happy Valentine's day everyone! I decided to eat chocolate for my breakfast this morning because, a. I'm not in England for long and there's not much time to fit in good chocolate, and b. I haven't been given any chocolates for Valentine's day as Nick is thousands of miles across the planet.

Today I'm off to get my hair cut and have cream tea. Exciting.

Yesterday it snowed lots, but it didn't stop us going to a restaurant to celebrate Millie's 22nd birthday after she got back from university. Happy Birthday Millie!

December Memories: Day 21

What does it mean when some gives you a pilot's cap as a hint
of you birthday present?
A little apprehensive to discover the answer tomorrow as long as the
rain in Busan goes away...eeek!

Swanky rooms and fancy cakes is how I celebrated by 26th birthday.

It was nice to be given two different cakes on my birthday, a christmassy reindeer one and a fruity cream cake, both from my beloved Paris Baguette.

The room I hired meant we could sing along with Westlife karaoke, play flip cup and balloon keepy uppy until 4:30 in the morning. I imagine this is what would go on at a children's birthday party if all the adults disappeared for the day.

I was very lucky to get so many presents, from Tash and friends from home, and still have a mystery present planned by Nick to come on Saturday. A little concerned that as a hint I've been given an old school pilot's hat with goggles...

It may not have gone quite as smoothly as I had hoped but it's one I won't be forgetting for a long time. So thanks to everyone who was a part of it!

Tash, Pauline and I on my last birthday.
Can you tell I'm becoming slightly obsessed with
adding aparkly bits to my phoros?

For my Birthday, amongst a myriad of other awesome things, (including a beautiful, handmade necklace and a punk rock chick scrub brush) my friend Heather gave me some scraps of fabric. They're really cool patterns, and I put two of the three of them to good use.

I've seen some of these handmade cloth state or country outlines both for sale, and as craft projects online and so I decided to channel my inner Martha and get crafty. It was really quite easy and I think it turned out great.

Buddha, please forgive me for the late birthday wishes.

5 Birthday Cakes!

Sat, 07/14/2012 - 01:57 — jmslesin

In the past week I have had pieces of 5 different Birthday Cakes, three of them for me!

Birthday Cake #1

Needless to say I'm kind of caked out at the moment, although I didn't know that was possible.

Getting Old

Tue, 07/10/2012 - 15:54 — NabiChan

Hey guys, sorry to say that there won’t be a comic this week. Life seems to get insanely busy at the weirdest times, no? I hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

While there is no comic, I hope this picture of me as an ajumma will do for now. My birthday was this week (technically, just an hour or so ago), and I’m feeling insanely old. I’ll be an ajumma before it anyway. For anyone that doesn’t know what an ajumma (아줌마) is, it’s basically a title given to middle aged women. While being a middle aged woman doesn’t make one stand out in any way, Korean middle aged women are something else. I will be sure to cover more on this topic in future comics.

Kids Give the Best Cards

Sun, 07/08/2012 - 23:56 — jmslesin

Korean kids give the best Birthday Cards. It has happened enough that I will claim it as fact.

Both of the Birthdays I have spent in Korea have been highlighted by amazingly sweet cards from my students.

My most prized 'thing' I took away from the year I spent at Daegyo Elementary was my Birthday card from the girls in 6-3 class. They wrote me little notes and drew me a great picture and even laminated it for me. It has since been hung up in both the places I lived last year, and is waiting at my Mom's house for when I come back.

The Cutest Thing I Never Knew I Wanted

Sun, 07/08/2012 - 12:59 — jmslesin

I've been having a great Birthday Weekend! And even though I shall chronicle it more later, I wanted to share one of my awesomely cutesy gifts.

There are few things I love more than cutesy things, nostalgia, and dinosaurs.

Yesterday Sam gave me a shrunken triceratops in a cup. I mean what says "Happy Birthday" like a stuffed animal that promises to grow in water. I don't know where he found it, I might need to find out, for research purposes of course.
