This past weekend was full of fashion. Friday nightwe made a game plan for Saturday and Sunday at Mr. Pizza and then went back to her apartment for some good old American Idol, motown style. Go Anoop!!! (Please vote for him!)
We left early on Saturday for the Vandalist by Vandal fashion show. I picked the show because of the name and picture of the designer. Yang Hee Min didn't disappoint me. It was amazing with feathers, gold painted half naked dancer and models high stepping. I took lots of pictures and videos so everyone at home could experience it. After the show we walked around some of the boutiques set up and admired clothes, bags and shoes.
Lunch as usual was CoCo curry, but this time we went to a different branch. Not my favorite I have to say. The tables were close together and of course we got seated next to the only other foreigner in the place. Steph and I barely spoke to each other the entire time. Instead we listened to this 28 year old girl from Denmark with a married and pregnant 19 year old sister, old mom, and sick grandmother. It was interesting, but not something I can imagine myself repeating.
The shopping began after lunch and a stop at Red Mango, this yogurt/fruit place. It was good and I can see myself going back when it gets warmer outside. Our first shopping stop was Uniqlo where my mission included leggings and a hoodie. Steph's mission was shirts and jeans. I kicked my mission out of the park, but Steph left without jeans. (I did go back to the store the next day to return a couple of my purchases, but overall I think I was successful.)
On to Marks and Spencer and the next mission: jeans. We both succeeded although mine are short. Luckily they are skinny jeans and look good with flats and tucked inside of boots. I also walked out with a new coat and to make my life even more magically, everything was on sale.
We droppped off our purchases at Steph's abode and headed out for some dinner at Lotteria. It is Korea's version of McDonalds/Mos Burger and I had only been there one time before. It wasn't bad. I don't really like fast food so I doubt I will make a habit of eating there, but its not bad for a late night dinner. We followed that with a bottle of soju and kimchi and noodle soup.
Sunday after we returned the clothes to Uniqlo we tried to buy Steph a computer, but they were sold out and didn't know when their next shipment would be in. So instead of a computer, we bought little cookies and ate them while watching a Bollywood style aerobics class.
Every time I fly back Steph and I race back to our houses to see who will get there first since her house is so far away from the airport. Usually I win, but I am here to report that for the first time, Stephanie Annand Zank won yesterday. She beat me by three minutes. I hope to regain my title next month.

Phoebus Fever
It's taking me a while to write the post about my weekend. I have been quite ill and trying to get my lesson plans ready for the opening of the English Zone at DMS (my school).
Friday was quite nice. I went over to Hope's apartment to watch TV with her and Laura V. We ate pizza and candy, read some celebrity gossip and watched the weirdest workout show I have ever seen. They weren't really working out, just posing for the camera. My favorite one was the guy, he looked like he so didn't want to be there in his daisy dukes and skin tight wife beater.
I couldn't stop blowing my nose though and neither could Hope. Laura V. who is always sick was the healthiest person in the apartment. Just sad. We packed it in early since we were all ill and Laura V. was getting up early to visit a friend in another city.
Saturday, Hope and I were suppose to go and eat American style breakfast with a bunch of other foreigners, but that didn't exactly work out. Both of us were so tired from being sick that we couldn't get out of our beds. Instead I made french toast and rested on my warm floor until it was time for the Mobis game.
I will be the first to admit that I was a bit overdressed for the game (even though I have seen many Korean men and women in full get-ups) but I knew that I would be doing something afterwards and I didn't want to have to change. I am bit lazy, haha. And yes I know I was sick at the time, but I was in the mood to groove.
The game itself was excellent. I knew we were playing the Busan MagicWings and that we had beaten them quite soundly before so I was prepared for a win. What I got was a showdown. Busan was not going to go down without a fight and boy did they fight. We were tied by the half time but it took a lot to get to that point since we were behind most of the first half.

Chocolate Milk and Ulsan Mobis
With the Mobis season coming to end, I can't help feeling sad.
Its taken me almost all season to figure out why I feel so connected to this team. At first, I thought it was it's stats which I looked up even before going (there's no reason to pay money to watch a team lose night after night when I can sit in my house and watch them on the TV). Mobis is a strong team with strong coaches (Go Coach Jae Hak!). They are no underdogs, but they inspire even small children to raise their arms and yell (I witnessed this at the last game, a boy no older than 2 was so excited after a basket that he jumped up from his father's lap, it was adorable).
Many people ask me "Who is your favorite player?" but I am always hard pressed to pick one. I like the game and the team as a whole. Each player is important and Mobis is an example of excellent teamwork. Even with the exit of Blankson and the introduction of Bowen late in the season, the team rarely missed a beat.
I guess if someone had a gun to my head and made me pick my favorite player I would choose number 11, Park Goo Young.
He's a great team leader and can shoot. Number 24, Woo Seung Youn came out of nowhere midseason in my mind and I can't help but admire his skills.
Lastly has to be number 12, Ham Ji Hoon.
I never really noticed him until a couple of games ago. His drives to the baskets and hook shots are solid every time. He is probably the most consistent player on the team.
As most people know I don't really like fan favorite number 34 Kim Hyo Bum.
I tried, really I did, but he always getting "hurt" and drags the game out. I'm sure he is told to act that way, but I never did like players like that. He does make me laugh though. He speaks fluent English and whenever he is mad he goes off in English, not Korean. One game an American player from another team was mad at him and said something unkind in English not knowing that Kim Hyo Bum could understand him. I though Hyo Bum was going to fight him right there. He is quite interesting to watch. He is a good player so that keeps my anger down a bit whenever he suddenly "dies" on the court.
I realized that besides Korean class, the Mobis games are a big part of my schedule. Whether they are playing in Ulsan or away I have to be watching. I scheduled my Japan and Taiwan trips around their games. I make sure I am at home so I can watch their games on TV when they play in other cities. Some would say I am addicted, but I think its about what makes me feel comfortable in Korea. When I move somewhere I always latch onto something that reminds me of home. This year has been chocolate milk and Ulsan Mobis basketball. Taiwan was Snickers ice cream bars and Peanut M&Ms. Ireland was just plain Snickers and potato chips (thankfully I had to walk about 5 miles to and fro school so I ended up losing weight), lol.
Yes, I do notice that I have an addiction to chocolate.
Now that Mobis is ending I am unsure how I will fill the void. At first, I will probably run more often, instead of two hours a day, maybe three. This weekend I checked out a soccer tournament at the university, but if Daniel isn't playing whats the point? Soccer was always the most boring sport for me. A huge field and one tiny ball going back and forth. It always seems to move so slow. Ulsan doesn't have a baseball team so I can't go to their games. Well, technically I can travel an hour and watch the Busan team play. They are supposed to be quite good this year, getting new talent in.
There are two more games left so I shall try to savor them. I have already been given an autographed basketball from the staff and a smaller basketball from Number, 5, Ha Sang Yoon.
Good times. No one can say that I didn't get anything from the game, lol.
I will be putting my pictures and videos together after the season is over since I will have so much free time, haha.
In other news, this weekend was the St. Paddy's Day celebration. I have tons of pictures of people in green which I will put up tomorrow. There was a Paddy's Day Hunt, but I didn't compete. Instead I ate pancakes with Hope and went bowling. Saturday was also White Day so it was quite odd to see all the foreigners drunk and in green and the Korean couples out celebrating their love, lol.
Sidenote: Valentine's Day here is for the woman to give the man a gift. White Day is for the man to give the woman a gift. Black Day is when single people get together and eat black noodles. They all fall on the 14th starting in February.
Tuesday will also be spent in green in celebration of the actual St. Patrick's Day. I have a green headband that is really shiny, lol. It's my favorite day and green is my favorite color. Good times ahead.

Revising the Co
I need to revise my statement about the woman sitting across from me.
She isn't my new co teacher. For all I know she has been here for years, I have just never seen her before. (Although I do think she is new because she wasn't talking to anyone in the cafeteria yesterday I will no longer assume so.)
A woman came yesterday to introduce herself to me. She is the new teacher and her English name is Crystal. She took three years off to raise her two children (the woman looks like she isn't a day over 22 which means she is at least 27) and now she is back teaching English. I have to say she is the nicest person and she shares my love for Colin Firth.
This gives us:
1. Something in common.
2. Something to talk about other then the weather and how the weekend went.
3. She can teach me how to say "I want to marry Colin Firth." in Korean. Very important sentence in my opinion.
As I was I writing this blog another Co came up to me to introduce herself. She was a 9th grade teacher last year, but since they are gone, she has moved back to the 7th grade. She wants me to call her Hee (Her whole name is Kim Gyoung Hee). She seems quite nice. I am unsure of her love for Colin Firth or other good looking male celebrities. I shall inquire at later date and let you know my findings. I hope she is a Family Outing or Infinite Challenge fan (Korean TV shows I will blog about at a later time when I can gush about how much I truly love them). I would love to talk to a Korean person about these shows.
Also I just wanted to let you know that I can now count forwards and backwards (slowly) in Korean. No applause necessary.

First Day Back
I am finally back at school. My posts can begin again. (Who actually wants to read about my 7 weeks of vacation?)
Being that its the first day of school, I don't have to teach. Now all I have to do is find out if that extends to the rest of the week. Some teachers already know that they won't teach all week. I can only hope that my co has yet to tell me this glorious news.
This morning she came over and said "Because it's the first day back, you don't have to teach. You can prepare for the semester."
My response, "Ok, but I already prepared last semester."
So now I am finished the work I needed to do. I hole-punched name cards, made a 2nd schedule of my classes to glue into my notebook, created three more games, and made a Co Teacher/Class Index so I will always know what teacher will be there with me.
All I have to do is print it out, but the printer doesn't work.
In other exciting news, I have a new co. I don't know her name (do I really know any one's names?) but she sits across from me. The woman who sat across from me moved somewhere else this semester (maybe the back of my head looks less angry and for the record I was never angry, just thoughtful). I feel a bit sorry for the new co since she is new and everyone is already in their little cliques. I know exactly how she feels, but she has a chance to fit in here. She speaks Korean, lol.
Today I had a 'light bulb going off' moment. I figured that out that I wouldn't be so bored at lunch if I had something to distract me. So I put my IPod underneath my clothes like the kids do and ate lunch with Sheryl Crow, Rain, and the Wicked cast. It was highly interesting.
In case anyone was wondering, Taiwan went well. It was hot and humid as usual, but the food was great. People remembered me from certain stores and restaurants. My style got many positive reviews from people (I would always respond with "Well, now I have time to dress myself instead of throwing on the first thing I see.") My students all remembered me (they better after two years of teaching them). The funniest moment of FuHsing came from CT (Crazy Tommy) and Josh, 2 Ai of course:
I am standing outside of the classroom at the end of the school day and Josh sees me peeking into the room while the homeroom teacher is yelling at Tommy (as usual, haha).
Josh: Miss Juliaaaaaa! (He is waving his arms like he is landing an airplane.)
Me: Hi Josh. (While holding a finger to my mouth to make him listen to his teacher and not run to me.)
Josh: Look its Miss Julia!!! (Grabbing kids and pointing at me, obviously I hold no authority, lol.)
Tommy looks over with a dazed look on his face at me. I wave at him and he waves back in a drugged out fashion. I figured he was sad from being yelled at. They all come out of the classroom a couple minutes later and gather around me.
Me: Hi CT!
Tommy: Huh?
Josh: Haha, CT, Crazy Tommy. That's your name, remember?
Tommy: Oh, yeah. Miss Julia what are you doing here. (Starts to sniffle, tears welling up in his eyes.) Didn't you go back to to to America? (Points his finger in a direction I guess is where America lies.)
Me: Yes, I did. Now I am on vacation here and I came to see you. I missed you.
Tommy: (still sniffling) Ok. (shuffles away)
Me: Bye CT.
Tommy: (he just puts up an arm to signal that he heard me. I guess he was still mulling over my appearance.)
So cute. The kids were all fabulous. Some kept staring at me until I said hello and then they would say "Oh, Miss Julia. Hello!" My hair has changed drastically I guess with my new Korean bangs, but I was always changing my hair at FuHsing. Theresa told me that every time I came in with new hair (which was about once a month), the kids would say to her "Miss Julia changed her hair again!" She would reply "Well at least it isn't blue!" haha.
I didn't realize how much weight I had put on while working at that school until one of the homeroom teachers that I saw at least once a week for two years came up to me. She pointed at me, waved both hands and then made the "you lost a lot of weight" symbol with her hands, lol. In front of her entire class. Doesn't get much better.
Seeing all the teachers again made me miss that place. Seeing the new foreign teachers' haggard looks did not make me miss it. I was even nervous before I got on the plane about going to the school. As I climbed the stairs to the office I almost puked my Starbucks scone. Theresa said, "Julia, just remember you don't work here anymore." That helped a lot.
Some memorable quotes from that day:
Me: I do about 10% of the work that I use to do here.
Dorcas: That doesn't sound good. You are going to lose your edge.
Me: It's a nice break from the constant stress that was this school. (Oh, yes I did, lol)
David: Here comes trouble. (And then when no one was around he hugged me, haha.)
Maggie: Julia, come back soon.
Me: No.
Jack: Want to record?
Me: Nope.
Maggie: At least look at the computer screen.
Me: I am too lazy to take my boots off.
Jack: Because today you are back, you don't have to take off your shoes. (So sweet.)
The rest of the vacation was spent with Viki and Chris at the Dinosaur Restaurant, Batch at Casa, and doing all the eating and shopping one could possibly do.
I also got my hair cut by accident. Obviously my skills are not what they use to be when explaining my need for a trim. Instead my guy (who I saw once a week to get my hair conditioned, because let's face it, I barely had time to shower working at that school), who finally got a chance to cut my hair, took it for all it was worth. He gave me a whole new look and I was scared as cobra near a mongoose. So far it looks ok. He didn't know like Ting did that I never do my hair. I just let it go, let it flow. I am going to grow it out, I am feeling a longer look right now.
Now to my purchases: I bought (really stole it since it was on sale majorly) a new video camera, three new purses (which were all on sale), paintings, a new ring, and presents for my co teachers (which I just realized at this moment that I forgot at home). Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
One last quote. It came from a dinner that Steph had with her friend Luke. She asked him if his new girlfriend was pretty.
Luke: "In my heart, she's the most beautiful."
