We got a Christmas Package from Korea!

Image
My mom sent a package from Korea, and I have been waiting for that since she sent some cool stuff.   Tada!!! I got this nice looking box. :) Yuri was really excited to open it, too! There were lots of stuff! There was her hanbok(Korean traditional clothes) and me and James's hanbok.  There were noodles, cosmetics, vitamins, seaweed... etc. She was very interested in Korean seaweed package! I was so excited that I had to make her wear her hanbok! This hanbok will be worn by Yuri on her 1st birthday and new year's day(Many Koreans wear hanbok on new year's day).  Hi! Do I look ok? I like this hanbok! Thanks, Grandma for the package!  I can't wait till we all three wear hanbok and take some pictures! :)

My opinion about eating dog

Image
Many people know that Korean people eat dog. I remember when I was young, I lived very close to a traditional market. There was a restaurant where they sold dog meat, and there was always a dog tied in front of the restaurant. I was really scared to pass by the restaurant whenever I was coming back home from school. I could not believe people can eat dog meat.. It seemed really barbaric to me. Now, I am older and wiser. I see things in a different perspective. I think I can understand eating dog culture and people who eat dog meat. It is just our culture!! First of all, Korean people went through a big war called Korean war. I am sure people were very hungry. There were not enough food and meat around them. So, they had to eat anything such dogs or even insects and worms. If there was anything that they could eat, they would not refuse to eat... They were hungry. Second, we didn't raise dogs indoors. Traditionally, we raised dogs always outdoors. They were put outdoors to protect t...

How we met (7)

Image
Read from the beginning! Go to How we met (1)! I could feel that we both were attracted to each other. He looked at me, but then quickly looked away. It was better because I didn't want to let myself kiss him or let him kiss me on the first date. But, I felt that he sort of wanted and I sort of wanted. He just had his hands on my waist and I put my hands on his shoulders. We just danced like that. It was getting to the time when I had to go home. James, his friends, and I came out of the club. We were in front of KFC. His friends stopped a cab and asked James to hop in with them so that they could go back home. James told them to go first. And then... we were talking... I don't remember what we were talking about... but we were just talking... And then... the next thing that I remember was we were kissing. YEAH! We were KISSING on our FIRST date! Things had gone bad as possibly it could on our first date. He was drunk. He disappeared for 2 hours without telling me. There was a ...

Have I always liked Black men?

Image
Well... Here is the answer. No. I did not like Black men before I met James. Man... That sounds harsh. More specifically, I did not care about them. I never met Black people in person especially young black men around my age. I never looked close to black men to see their charms. I just never knew them. I never had a chance to see their charms. Maybe, I just didn't give myself a chance since I was just not interested in them. Not interested in them didn't mean I didn't like them. I just never had an opportunity to get to know black people. (Let's say I just never met black people in general. Yeah Yeah. I was not cool. lol.) Anyway, James was the first black person that I got to know and became friends with. After I started dating him, I started to meet his black friends and get to know them more. At first, they did not look that attractive to me. Even James looked just okay to me. lol. However, I started to see them as people and began to not see their skin color but ju...

Yuri got a crib!

Image
Yes, she didn't have a crib till now. She is 9 months. She slept on the floor for 3 months after she outgrew her bassinet.(Don't say we are bad parents since we let her sleep on the floor! We put lots of soft sheet on the floor, so she was warm and it was cozy. And.... Still, many Korean people sleep on the floor.) First of all, we had to move. We didn't want to buy a crib and have to move it, so... we decided to buy a crib after we move. Second, when we moved into a new apartment, we had to buy so many things and a lot of furniture such as  a sofa, a table, a chair, a bed, a crib... We really had hard time budgeting and..yeah, at one point, we didn't have money to buy a crib.. Enough of excuses now,,,, We finally got Yuri's crib!!! I felt really emotional today when I saw Yuri so excited to have her own bed! Yeah.. It is second hand.. but it still looks decent and nice! My baby...  Yuri... Your mom and dad want the best for you... and we love you.... I love you...
