On a Happier Note…
Now that I’ve gone down the scary dark road, I’m trying to return to the lighter ways…. Last night, a friend and I went to dinner and our second Andrea Bocelli concert. It was a really lovely night out and just what I needed in terms of conversation and activity. The concert was just okay.…

Dark Thoughts…
Me and vodka do not really go well together. Whenever I have vodka drinks I end up feeling very very dark. With my already dark tendencies, especially of late (as you may notice in my posts), I get really hopeless about this life. Anyway, I have really been unhappy with everything and everyone lately. One…

Should I Be So Angry?
Lately, the voice in my head is full of angry under and over tones. The other day I was in the car on the way to work feeling a really deep-seeded dislike of people. Not just a disgust with society or annoyance at the various A-holes on the road, but a truly raw “I can’t…

Lost Daughter…
Yesterday, I read this article on the blog “Lost Daughters”. It hit home in many ways as it relates to being caught between worlds and struggling to not only find my place, but to be accepted for the place that I have found. There is one place in the world where I felt totally ‘normal’…

Mental Health Day
So, yesterday, I called (wrote) in ‘sick’. Strangely, when I said that I had a migraine, I thought I felt one coming on and was worried that I actually was going to spend the day with a headache. However, thankfully it passed. It’s been quite a while since I took a day off that didn’t…

Latino Carnaval 2013
My Mexican friend, P often invites me to the Latin community’s events, but this is the first time I agreed to go. While I had expected a bit more craziness and partying, it was more conservative. Perhaps the location and country kept things tame. 🙂 So, we had a good time. The music was nice…

TESOL Arabia 2013 Weekend

Equality For All?
So, I came up with a new URL name and will mull it over before checking to see if it is taken or not. It may become my new blog site title for when I finish my doctorate and have more time to write on topics I really want to cover… Adoptee Philosophy…still giving it…

Space…
The final frontier…these are the voyages of…a crazy Korean adoptee living in foreign lands in search of her sanity…. Random? Yes, indeed. I’m away at a conference in Dubai. I left early so that I could leave early. Somehow I stayed longer than I would have liked, but mostly due to catching up with friends…

On the Edge…
Whenever I hear Lady Gaga’s song, “The Edge of Glory” I somehow feel like it’s talking about my life mantra. I am always looking for the next best thing because I am somehow dissatisfied with my current state. It is probably my own state of mind that I should be looking to improve, but in…
