Joonie

*I was browsing through my external hard drive today and found my old puppy pictures* Joonie was a six week old golden retriever. Yes, very creative name isn’t it? haha :p She was friendly, super energetic and playful. I wasn’t able to keep her for a long time do to her own goods. I sent her back where she would be much more happy – back to her mother and seven sibling puppies. I would like to pick up not one but two puppies once I go back  … yes it’s going to be very exciting :) I bet Joonie is all grown up now (she should be almost 3 years old now), I hope she is happy and healthy!




2010 World Cup

They fought really well … We were so close … kudos to the Korean team … just lost too many good goal chances  … until next time 2014 Brazil World Cup …

Ride with me

Took pictures of nice rides while I traveled … enjoy

dream camping

I love traveling & camping. Long time ago, I went on a ghetto camping trip couple of times and I still remember it clearly today. Even though we did not have any proper gears, it was all good. This all time American favorite Airstream travel trailer is something that I dream of. One day I would like to hitch this beautiful baby on back of my Rover (say that I will also get a Rover) and travel from West to the East coast. Anyone want to join? :)

RIP my iPhone 3GS

Well, my iPhone died … to be more exact, the screen is completely malfunctioning. I tried many ways to restore it but failed. Just in time for the new iPhone 4, I think Steve Jobs activated “Auto-Kill” switch on my iPhone haha. Since I don’t drive here in Seoul, I ride a BMW (Bus, Metro and Walking) hahaha :p I really need a mp3 player, riding a BMW gets bored real fast. So, I just ordered the iPod nano black … It’s not something I really dig but for now it will do the job … RIP stupid iPhone.

Random craving

Here I am, seating in front of my laptop at 1:00 AM in the morning. Just had my last wisdom tooth pulled out this afternoon, it hurts like hell… wasn’t able to eat dinner, just had few slices of soft cake. I won’t be sleeping tonight because I gotta watch the World Cup at 3:30 AM. Korea vs Nigeria… who is it going to be? Right now, I am watching the “Good Fellas” directed by the movie god Martin Scorsese. All of sudden, this indescribably randomness hits me, watching the Italian-American gangsters (played by Robert De Niro & Ray Liotta) cooking an authentic Italian food wakens my Italian food craving… I am thinking … thinking of perfectly cooked meatball pasta … I gotta find a restaurant this week and treat myself.
