Where are you now karmie?

These days I have been busy with Japanese students. Unlike catering when it is all tiring for the body, this is tiring for the mind. Although soon it'll be tiring for the body as well. The Hallyu Wave is truly amazing I should say because this year, again, just like last year, we are preparing a kpop dance cover thing for the farewell party for the girls. We decided that all the guys would do the girl group dances and all the girls would do the guy group dances. To make it easier to remember as the farewell party is this friday! Gggah! Let's do this Canadian buddies! They have been going everywhere here near my town. The trip to Vancouver could have been so much more fun but it was very limited. The UBC campus is beautiful though. However, I think we spent a little too much time there. They did some volunteering as well at a senior's home. That was interesting. I think both the girls and the seniors had a hard time understanding each other. Yet, I do admit it is good pract

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

Today... Was a freakin loooong day! I started pretty early around 8ish? Well I woke up around 7ish to get ready and my whole family along with my mom's friend went to the blueberry farm. It is an organic farm so everything is natural. Well it is a good thing for the customers but it is quite a challenge for the pickers. Since it rained last night, early in the morning the bushes were still wet. It was slightly chilly too. In a way it made work a lot more tolerable because it was so cool and I thrive on the cool weather. There was one summer where all I did was raspberry picking. From then on I never wanted to eat raspberries again. However that has been slowly changing. This time if I continue to pick blueberries I might I won't want to eat blueberries for a long time. That is a little sad but sadly it might come true. We worked for a long time until around 4ish and I didn't do well. However it was also the first day or everyone. I don't know. I only managed 2 bucket

Right now it feels like I have gotten over jet lag I have just become slightly lazy for the past couple of days... Its going to be hard when I have to start my part-time job I have to wake up pretty early. Actually more than that I have to wake up early for my first semester as three times a week I have a class that starts at 8:30 in the morning. Now why I chose that class? It's because it was a requirement course so I kinda had to take that one. Of course they offered other times but it would interfere with another class I wanted to take. Anyways my new roommate are still trying to find a place in Victoria to rent. However we have made some slight progress a we have arrange for viewings at a couple different places already. I hope one of the houses we see next week follows through or nor its going to be hectic until august. Well worst come to worst school doesn't start until September so we have a little over a month left. I may be starting up catering again next week so I

I have been back home for 3 days already. It feels more like a week already because this stupid jetlag is not helping me at all. Today is the 11th already. It doesn't feel like it. Today? Yesterday? well on the 10th, I meant to wake up earlier... like 10 in the morning but instead, I woke at around 4 in the evening. Just in time for the dinner gathering my family had with my aunt and uncle that came by from the other side of Canada. It was nice to see them again but the whole time I was kicking myself in my head because I didn't wake up earlier. Now I am suffering from the consequences... It sucks because outside... there is light already.  I should go to bed because there is another family gathering I have to go to at 9:30am and I have an orientation thing that I have to go to with the volunteering thing I am doing this summer at 1pm... and I think I might have to drive for it. But here's the thing... I can't sleep.  Sleep~ please come to me now... at least for

I'm currently waiting to board and thought I would update a bit before the 2 hr flight to Shanghai and then the 11 hr flight back to Canada. Before I came to this sitting and chilling time, I had a lot of worries. Most of them consisted and involved my suitcase if it was too heavy or not. Turns out it was perfectly 23kg and I don't have to worry about rechecking in my baggage in Shanghai. Something I had to do when I came to Korea from Canada.  So I was really happy to get two boarding passes. On top of that I was worried if I could bring my suitcase in as a carryon and turns out... it's okay. well at least I hope so and they do let it on at the boarding. It's small and light... It just has my blanket in it and my precious signed CDs.  Gosh I am so tired right now because I only had 2 hours of sleep last night. I can't sleep on the flight to Shanghai because what am I going to do on my 11 hr flight? Oh well I have a 2 hour layover so maybe I'll do som

Wednesday was an interesting day. It started off REALLY early in the morning. My friend and roommate for this semester had to leave to go back to her country and we had to get up early around 5:30ish? We went to the airport and met my other friend to see her off at the airport. It was a miracle actually I didn't cry when she went through the security point. There has just been too many memories and maybe having it written down in a book that I gave to her at the very end was a good way to prevent my tears. I miss her greatly. T_T Afterwards, I had to go back to the hostel to check out of the room that we shared and move into the dorm room. After major Korean communication fail I managed to move into the room and the 4 bedroom dorm is actually slightly bigger than I thought but it is still small. I caught up some sleep for a bit before I headed towards Arirang for my last recording of Simply Kpop. Unfortunately, this time, I had an unpleasant beginning to it. Let me begin my ran
