저게 간장종지. 자 이제 저 선인장이 얼마나 작은지 감이 잡히니?




It's thirty minutes till July.
It's time that I feed my second child :)

Her name is Juno.
She eats only on the first day of every month.
I had to remember this--so I wanted to name her with something to do with "one" to remind myself, and because I have some Spanish-language background in me (=I went to school in San Diego and made a short visit to Mexico a few times....-_-), I decided to use the word "uno" to spice it up a little. And I thought using a "J" would be a good idea because she is from Jennell.

Hence, this girl is named Juno.
She is the tiniest cactus I've (and you've) ever seen.

I have another child and that one's a boy.
Someday I will introduce him to you :) He's gorgeous!


I live with two plants, a newly bought fan, and a newly bought coffee table.
It's a full house that I live in.

구름도 어쨋든 물이다

Be like the flowing river,.
Silent in the night,
Be not afraid of the dark.
If there are stars in the sky reflect them back.
If there are clouds in the sky,
Remember, clouds , like the river, are water,
So, gladly reflect them too,
In your own tranquil depths.

-Manuel Bandeira

I am living in a wave with big amplitudes. One side keeps bringing me down..to the feeling of incompetence, fear of human nature, and just a bit more of other spices thay I have not quite gotten a taste of-- until my year in Korea.

The other side,
is a good side. Like a guardian angel-, Josh Groban's "You Lift Me Up"-type-of-side. Morningly texts from parents, daily kakao with [not] far away friends, and nightly hwaiitings of a familiar voice are the main components. This side throws me up on the clouds.

Down, Hyun.
Up, Hyun.

They end up cancelling each other out, bringing back to the same ol' me that I always was. My color has changed, as did the color of the world I see. But I am me...and sometimes you gotta acknowledge the beauty of consistency.

I have neglected you, blog.
But I've been doing quite well, you see :)
