The Bitch is Back.

Hold on to your seats, ladies. The bitch is back.

I found myself with a new job (yay!) with better pay and shorter distance to where i live. My boss is nicer than expected, although the job is as challenging as ever.

But i think that was the reputation i built: i became known as the non-native teacher/ disciplinarian, adapting the American style of punishment (aka writing) together with my own. Corporal punishment is not acceptable even if the kids are starting to run amok with knives and guns at hand.

This woman had just found a new research material: Korean Kids with their low self esteem, and bullying.

watch out, people. the posts will just come out.

The Controversial Rubber Jelly Bracelet

I'm sure if you live in Korea you've seen this worn by elementary school kids a couple months back. It was BIG. Madonna wore it. My favorite pop singer Pink wore it. Course the years passed and now it's within everybody's reach. Everybody had it. UNTIL an idiot from somewhere decided that it has some sexual connotations. Something like...


Black - the wearer will have regular "missionary" sex
Blue - indicates oral sex performed on a guy
Clear - indicates a willingness to do anything the snapper wants
Green - indicates that oral sex can be performed on a girl
Glittery Blue - is willing to perform anal sex
Glittery Clear - wearer will let the snappee "feel up" or touch any body part
Glittery Green - the wearer is willing to "69"
Glittery Pink - willing to "flash" a body part
Glittery Purple - willing to French kiss
Glittery Yellow - indicates kissing and hugging is acceptable
Yellow - wearer is willing to hug
Pink - wearer is willing to give a hickey
Orange - wearer is willing to kiss
Purple - wearer is willing to kiss a partner of either sex
Red - wearer is willing to perform a lap dance
White - wearer will flash what they have


The original purpose of these rubber jelly bracelets is for a cancer research. The simple design was created by an athlete named Lance Armstrong who is a cancer survivor himself, and the money that he was able to raise he donated to help fund a CANCER RESEARCH. But the bracelet got caught in the mainstream, and it became so popular it raised millions of dollars.

And since cancer is still not an easy disease to fight, and a cure is certainly not within the reach of mankind, these bracelets are helping fund a facility in order for out lives to get better.

Tsk, a person is smart, he will think. But people are dumb and panicky... and they just loove jumping on bandwagons.

Here's the link for those naive idiots who just jump on bandwagons.

Oh, i'm wearing black, simply because i ONLY wear black. And i don't care.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

So, excuse my blog for being idle. For one, my recent research isn't related to anything social, rather educational. Soon as it's finished, i'd probably be back blogging about the nonsense of the world.

I am rather superstitious, but not to an extent. I really don't mind luck if it's along my way or not, but after about three weeks of nothing but UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, i came into a conclusion: it really isn't my luckiest times.

I now take the public transportation every morning. My husband's job is now in the mornings (from evenings) so he drops me at school and then leaves for the office. It's tough facing the rush hour.

From the most recent events...

An old woman (Ajumma) snapped at me (an understatement as it was humiliating) this morning. While i was waiting for the normal bus i take to go home after my morning class, she asked me WHICH BUS will go downtown. I'm fairly new when it comes to taking public transportation. I take the same bus all the time, and i know that it is the fastest route. I STILL don't know how to go to any point of Gwangju by bus without specific instructions.

She (Ajumma) was annoyed upset or whatever while telling me why the hell don't i have any idea how (With dagger looks and all)... *sigh*

This morning, while walking to the bus stop, i fell, and found my body FLAT on the road. There was a hole that i oversaw and landed exactly on my heel, and as we know balance will not be a friend when you're not expecting a hole...

I have scrapes on both knees, and a clot on my palm to show. It kinda looks funny in my head, but i really don't find any humor in it.

... which made me miss the bus, and had to wait ten minutes more.

For a week, I have been waking at 5 AM everyday... and i leave at 5:30!! I have to do everything in 5 minutes, bath in 10, and hair and make up in another 10. *sigh* i cannot hear my alarm.

I usually wear 8-11 cm heels. One night, when my husband wasn't able to pick me up from work, i had to take the bus again. There was this girl, she held out her leg, i almost tripped. I cursed, but what can i do? Thank Goodness i didn't trip.

That same night, the bus ALMOST left me. i was right in front of the door and the driver shut it close!! what a %*^$+@!!!! The same night i lost my bus card. The following morning, i was scrambling to buy a new one because if not, i'd be paying four times the usual amount without a bus card. i ended up paying half because all the stores around this friggin neighborhood didn't have bus cards. I went home, and found one near our residence.

My umbrella was raining from the inside. I have an umbrella. It's quite new, but last week, when it was raining cats and dogs, my umbrella rained from the inside. And just when i was about to get on the bus, the girl in front of my decided to shake the water of her umbrella.. SHOWERING ME MORE with rainwater! I was drenched, and my glasses were splattered, and i still had to pay for my bus fare. When i looked up she disappeared from the crowd, as the bus was full. Soaking wet and standing, i had to wait before i was able to wipe off water from my glasses.

Soon as i get into the office i found out that the teachers will have dinner together, and i wasn't informed. I didn't join. I wasn't equipped for a night of socializing.

You think it ends here? It has more!! And all of it in a span of three weeks, including a student who invited us for dinner and stood us up! *sigh*

CAn this week get even worse? Did you have a good week? Feel free to share so that i'd know my luck is with someone else.

Oh, ignore me... ^.^

i was actually working on a new post... entitled, to lust or not to lust, but then my music changed from my normal oldies and pop to OPM.

Excuse me, i'd rather sing. =)

it's been a while since i actually sang in my native language... AND BY GAWD it feels darn good!!!

To Lust, or not to Lust? Does it really matter?

Warning: Not a research, just a mere point of view. Experience had taught me there are too many idiots out here, so react violently, you're an even bigger idiot than me.



My routine these days are complicated by my work schedules. It is impossible to get a life, it's a career. My children are growing up with the idea that momma is the one going out during the day and working, and their father goes out evenings instead.



PG 19 (in Korea, at least)



You get my drift? Being married for almost five years to the same man, it is not normal to not even look to the other side of the fence. Acting on it is almost unforgivable. Although there are certain degrees on how far it could go. (And suddenly, i am typing with tact?)



One of the reasons why i am wodering is this new series that is currently shown: I think it is entitled Spartacus. It just started last week, and i watched a fair number of episodes within the week. How Romans acted on their lust; the women buying gladiators for extra-marital affairs, taking all precautionary measures to ensure that their husbands will not get a whiff of what they're up to. The men desiring "slaves" even when their wives are watching. Strange.. i was watching polygamy on TV, and all i can think about is: So where did monogamy come from? If from the olden days, most men had a couple of wives, then why did people suddenly choose to become monogamous? Even the people from the time of Jesus Christ weren't exactly practicing fidelity.



Me being filled with questions? It means i will be looking for answers. Soon as time permits me, i know i would be sitting here in front of my computer, looking up some facts i could dig from the internet, because i know i am curious.



Last week, my husband asked me if i were sleeping with another man. You can imagine my shock as one: NO I HAVENT.

two: WHERE THE f**k DID HE GET THE IDEA?

and three: HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO MANAGE THAT ONE, WITH MY HECTIC SCHEDULE AND PICKS ME UP FROM SCHOOL EVERYDAY?



Maybe i am monogamous, maybe i am polygamous, i don't know. All i am sure is that i don't want to share.

okay.. okay.. too much information. i found myself intrigued... sleepy, and panicking with the amount of work i have to finish.



Au revior till we meet again.

Welcome to my page.

LOL.

i'm trying to think of something clever to write, but all i could think about is that it's too late to greet everybody a happy new year. i hope y'all celebrated it properly.

I'm hoping to get an epiphany, and somehow, when my inspiration kicked in, instead of finishing my latest research/post, i went editing my manager's memo for the whole teaching staff (LOL). She's Korean, and she needed help with writing, and she doesn't want to ask the other teachers because they also suck in writing.

I am having some serious issues with another teacher in school, simply because she's acting like a prima donna and competely ignoring the full essence of working together. And i just can't shake the feeling that i can't trust her. i don't really trust anybody, but with her i get something like an extreme dislike. She's friendly, shows a good personality, but still not enough.

enlighten me if i'm just being unreasonable again.

Merry Christmas Y'all!

need i say anything else? (kidding, kidding)

for five years i have hated this season. it's full of memories, nostalgic scents and tastes, not to mention, the weather makes it feel christmasy. like the smell of cinnamon and apples are stuck on the air.

then 2003 music genre is being played, which makes me even more sentimental.

remind me to go dancing tonight to shake all these off.

but for the rest of you out there, i hope this season's holiday may bring you joy and happy memories to cherish. moi? i'd try looking for reasons.

and i wish you all a happy happy christmas and a prosperous (prepostrous? heehee) year ahead.
