gimme gimme that low dough

Good Job Get 'em up way high
Gimme gimme that high five
Good time Get 'em way down low
Gimme gimme that low dough
Good God Bring 'em back again
Gimme gimme that high ten
You're the best definition of good intention

-Dynamo of Volition, Jason Mraz

That little ditty is what Kat, Kristen, and I happily danced to Saturday night in the Olympic Hall stadium in Seoul during a delightful Jason Mraz concert. Mega hearts for Jason Mraz now. It filled the void in my heart that had been craving live music for far too long. The crowd was a lot tamer than I expected...I was anticipating thousands of obnoxiously love-sick Korean girls in heels but such was not the case. Assa! But the girl next to me did sound like she was going to die a few times. Every few minutes at the beginning of the concert she would sigh really loud and go, " Ohhh, Jaaaason!" Hilarious.

Move over Big Bang and Wonder Girls, here comes the F4. The F4's are all the rage now. Just two weeks ago EVERY student started showing up with trading cards, stickers, and posters of these 4 guys and 1 girl. Didn't take much investigation to find out these were the stars of the newest Korean drama 'Kot-pa-da-nam-ja' (translated as Boys Before Flowers). It makes for good warm-up discussions before the lesson each day since it's something that all students are willing to talk about. The students love everything about the show. Apparently it was first a Japanese comic strip, turned into a drama in Japan, then Taiwan, now Korea. My first thoughts....lame. Then a horrible/great thing happened. Kat found the episodes online with English subtitles! We are now both addicted to this charming Korean series. Not even gonna lie, I have been watching parts off and on as I type this blog...*hangs head in shame* So for all of you out there that are curious after reading this...my advice, watch it and love it.


I've realized I've missed two very important things lately and I'm saddened by this. The first being Conan's transition to the Tonight Show. I haven't been able to watch his shows online AT ALL since I've come to Korea because I'm officially out of the "Con-zone" (haha). Whatever NBC.com. I remember 2 years ago when it was announced that Conan would take over I couldn't wait for the day to come. And now it's here and I MISSED IT! Super boo! The second being shamrock shake season at McDonald's. *knife directly in heart* ooooooh I want one!

Oh, I got my haircut last week...I now have very Asian bangs (see pic below) and I like it. :)
The End. :)
