My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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 stand people” feeling. Of course, there are some people I like – I do have friends, after all.…

  • 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’ and as if I belonged – Hawaii. Why? Because Hawaii has a mix of races and many mixed…

  • _Does This Church Make Me Look Fat?_ by Rhoda Janzen Quite some time ago, I read Rhoda Janzen’s first book _Mennonite in a Little Black Dress_ and was quite entertained. A former colleague, college-mate and friend of mine edited these books, so I always am interested in reading her edited novels. Also, since I had quite enjoyed the first one, I thought I’d go ahead and give this one a try. The title…

  • 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 involve me being stuck in bed or the couch. I realized I should do it more often as…

  • 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 and the food tasty. We danced and we laughed even without drinking too much!

  • Just posting some pics from our weekend shenanigans…. It was a nice couple of days away from AD. I should really try to make it to Dubai more often…. [shashin type=”album” id=”66″ size=”medium” crop=”n” columns=”max” caption=”y” order=”date” position=”center”]

  • 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 some consideration… Anyway, last night was a lot of fun. I attended the conference for a while, but…

  • 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 and talking to colleagues whom I don’t normally associate with much at work. Plus, I am going to…

  • 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 any case that’s a long process. So, the other day, I went to see Dr I and expressed…

  • Now, I’m not really the kind of girl that requires a man to bring her flowers. That’s not to say I don’t love it when it happens, but as R is not the romantic type, bringing me flowers is not on his list of things to do. Luckily, I don’t mind buying my own flowers when I want to add a little bit of life to the apartment. The other day I saw…
