Hockey blues

So... this week has been sort of a down time. Monday, my friend's family went back to their country and my friend from Canada is only arriving in Seoul tonight. In between that, on Tuesday, we went to see the korean version of the "Catch Me If You Can" musical. My experience with Catch me if you can is through the movie and the musical soundtrack from youtube. It was a really good musical! However the lead that was playing Frank was an idol and his vocal abilities wasn't up to par with musical style singing. Although he was better than I expected but it was still not completely there. The acting and dancing was good though! I really enjoyed watching it, even though it was all in Korean, with Japanese subtitles on the side, it was fantastic. Watching youtube clips of the Broadway version, listening to OBC musical soundtrack and reading the english synopsis before hand really helped though in understanding the musical.
On Wednesday, I had to go to a 9 AM class even though it was a school holiday due to the elections. We had to make up a class that was missed due to the teacher's misunderstanding. Long story but anyways it was a 3 hour class. Long and boring but in the end the teacher treated us to lunch and it was nice. The rest of the day, my roommate and I decided to be lazy and chill in our rooms. For dinner, we had pork belly BBQ and went to Karaoke.
Today! I finally got to stream and watch a little bit of the NHL playoffs! For the past week, I have been itching to watch NHL but just never had the timing right. Today though, although this is not highly suggested to everyone, I was streaming live hockey during one of my morning classes today.... and continued to stream the hockey game when I came back from class. It was a really boring class, in which the teacher babbles on from what the powerpoint slide in which he will later send to us. So the purpose of us being in the class? Attendance points! yay! anyways it was nice to watch Hockey again.... well until the Canucks lost... I hope they do better in the next game! So in disappointment, I decided to cut and change my hairstyle! No more front straight bangs, hello side bangs! Although it looks like I have straight bangs still... lol.
Well, tomorrow, is my roommate's birthday, so we are probably going to go out and celebrate it after classes are finished. The weekend? probably hang out with my friends who came from Canada and probably do another Seoul tour with them or something.
Next week has a lot more interesting things going on. 2 music shows and a concert! yay!

Work work work

So ever since I went came back from Victoria (I was there to look or houses) I have been busy with work! It is a really good thing and it keeps me busy during the summer but at the same time I get really tired at the end of the day. Let me start with my house searching adventures in Victoria. I wanted a place where it is cheap an close to campus. Yeah it is quite an idealistic approach but hey it's better than having no expectations I guess. However after going to look at places for three days straight, my future roommate and I got a little down from not finding anything and I almost compromised my requirements in order to have something. However, on the last house we looked at, we found something that both of us liked and that my friend liked as well. So that was good. Now all I got to do is to send some paperwork and the place is ours! Yes! I still cant believe we got that place.. All inclusive AND it is furnished AND it is close to campus! Ggah! I am soo happy. I had to go hom...

Back and forth~

By the time I was about to write about the rest of my Korean trip, I had to get ready to go home and then prepare to return to this side of the world to Japan. So my summer before arriving in Japan has been mostly been work and preparing to move out of Victoria and move overseas to Japan. Now that I have been in Japan, I feel like it's a sin for not having written anything. Arrived in Tokyo on August 3rd. We arrived an hour earlier than scheduled but that doesn't change anything because when you land in an international airport between noon and maybe 4 or 5ish, it's going to be super busy. Although as a JET participant, we were pushed earlier in the immigration line, we still had to wait for an hour or two through immigration and then pick up our baggage.  What's amazing in the JET Programme is that there's always someone there to guide you every step of the way until you reach your contracting organization. That is before the airport and after the airport. ...

Midterms has arrived and left

Every day I walk to school and it takes me about 20 minutes to get to school. Every time I go to school, I pass by this road and not long ago I just had to take a picture of it. The fall in Victoria makes the trees so beautiful. I love the color of the leaves on this tree. There is more behind me and it keeps getting better as I keep walking underneath it. Looking at this view everyday... I never fail to stop and wonder about how beautiful these trees are. I bet during the spring, this is even more prettier. The trees cheer me up is essentially what I'm trying to say. Coming back from Korea, I have to readjust my way of thinking and even think back in English again. Although that's hard because I am taking a Japanese language class, on top of that, I have a Korean language partner on campus as well. So my head is filled with many different languages... but I guess this is not really a new complaint and YET, why is it this year I'm having a hard time? I guess more than th...
