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 :)

No kidding--that frog really greeted me like that when i got home last night.



그 와중에도 매일 아침 나는 근거없는 기대로 침대에서 벌떡 일어났었다.
매일 저녁 퇴근할때 내가 뭐하는거지-싶어도 꼭 아침이 되면 에너지가 만땅이 되어 6시40분 4호선 오이도행 지하철도 어김없이 달콤했던 것이다.

바라보는곳이 있다는건
근거없는 희망이 있다는건 정말 감사한일이다:)

I guess I dont compromise with mediocrity. 지금 힘들어도 괜찮은게 그게 다 이유가 있는거다.

엉 엉





It was false hope.






For some reason, I thought my hair dryer would come back to life.



If only I've made myself go to E-mart earlier, I would've have avoided one full week of "bed hair." Darn. Goodbye.






근거없는 희망이었다. 난 왜 헤어드라이기가 살아 돌아올꺼라는 기대를 하고 있었을까?

d.i.s.c.e.r.n

When Pahraoh had let the people go, God did not let them take the road to the Philistines' territory, although that was the shortest,


파라오가 이스라엘 백성을 내보낼 때, 하느님께서는 필리스티아인들의 땅을 지나는 길이 가장 가까운데도, 그들을 그곳으로 인도하지 않으셨다.





'in case', God thought, 'the prospect of fighting makes the people change their minds and turn back to Egypt.

하느님께서는 '그들이 닥쳐올 전쟁을 내다보고는 마음을 바꾸어 이집트로 되돌아가서는 안 되지.' 하고 생각하셨던 것이다.


-탈출기 13:17
-Exodus 13:17


지금 이 지점은
A) 내가 원하는 곳까지 도달하기 위해 안전하게 돌아가는 과정인 것일까 아님
B) 가야할 길이 아닌데 억지로 끼워 맞추며 가고 있는 것일까?


what is it that I really want and what is it that God really wants to show me? ♪

just.......................do it!


If you must say yes, say it with an open heart. If you must say no, say it without fear. -from Paulo Coelho's blog.
Deciding whether it's a go or no-go is the hardest part.
Once you're past that, just do (or don't do) it
and have no regrets.

Written @ 10:53 PM,
오늘밤은 무거운 마음으로 떠났지만
내일 아침 돌아갈때도 무거운 마음을 가지고 갈 필요는 없을꺼라는 생각을 하면서,
김현 씀.
