So last Wednesday, I skipped out on Korean class to attend a friend's wife bday party. I had not seen her since July and her husband since they hosted me last winter at their home for dinner. So after work I went (after 3 bus transfers) and I made it safely. I met some of her friends and one of them I really hit it off with.

We got to have some good snacks and had Upper Crust pizza. The cake was good ole Carvel Ice Cream with the sprinkles and "dirt" (Chocolate cookie like crumbs is what JKL called them.) We all had a fun time and I enjoyed their photo gallery.

The new friend I made was very cool. She (AB) is of Indian descent who grew up in KL and went to school for University in the SOUTH (VA) and has not left. Though her family is still all in KL, she lives in the Back Bay with her spouse. My friend's wife met her through junior league. She had brought a lovely shrimp salad to share. Turns out due to her food allergies she has to be careful of what she eats ie soy, some fruits and veggies etc. In addition, she underwent a lot of changes thanks to a doctor worrying about her health. But she has a passion for foods and it was great meeting her. Turns out she likes Kdramas too and use to watch them when at home. So I had to tell her about Dramafever. (Only good for subscribers living in USA and I think Canada.)

After a nice night, I got a ride from my friend home. Luckily by car I live not even 10-15 minutes away but by T or bus it is a pain.

So grateful to have my friends still around. Seems like life is treating them well during their transition to East Coast. Turns out their style is all over in WEST COAST but in EAST COAST there is not alot in their niche. A top hotel likes them and puts them on their referral vendor list. So happy for them indeed! Yeah!

Brilliant Inheritance 찬란한 유산 (aka Shining Legacy) was one of the TOP 2009 KDrama hits and catapulted Han Hyo Joo, Bae Soo Bin and Lee Seung Ki into more success and popularity this past spring. Though this drama has the TYPICAL Kdrama components---someone is rich (check), someone is poor (check), both fall in love (check), evil parent (this case stepmom) (check), many obstacles and hardships (check), love triangles amongst the leads (check), someone is ill (check) but still somehow got me interested. One big winner is the attractive cast and good acting. Right now I am more than halfway done with this drama and I only started it 3 days ago.

The Jae Beom-less 2PM released a single "Tired of Waiting" 기다리다 지친다! I have had it on repeat. It has alot of autotone so not all the voices are easily recognizable when singing together.

Check it out:

Lyrics-thanks to Naenorae for coordinating the lyrics!!!!!

RAP:
왜 이렇게 난 자꾸 힘든데
머릿속이 복잡해 죽겠네
기다리고 기다리던 나인데
아직도 소식이 없는데
너 땜에 울던 내가 아닌데
나 땜에 떠날 니가 아닌데
어째서 이런 내가 힘든데
어떻게 지금 너무 힘든데

일년이라도 난 기다릴거야
십 년이라도 난 기다릴거야
oh~난 난 난 난 난 난 난 난 기다리다가 난 지쳐도 좋아
너를 기다리다 지쳐 미치고 또
하루하루 매일같이 일년이 같고

금방이라도 니가 다시 올것만 같고
뒤돌아서면 다시 너를 볼것만 같아
오~난 나 나 나~ 지쳐 미치고 난 지쳐 미치고 yeah~

Getting tired while waiting… (U know?)
Gotten tired while waiting and~
U Know, do you know how I feel?
Gotten tired while waiting~
Do you still remember me? (Oh~ no)
Even if a day goes by, I'll still remember you
Even if a month goes by, I still won't let you go
Can you understand my desires for you? (oh~no)
Going insane while waiting
and each day feels like a year.
Oh~ I, I I I~ was waiting and while I was waiting,( yeah~)
It felt as if you would come back
or if I look back I would see your face

Oh~ I I I I~ am going insane, going insane (yeah~)
I am holding back just in case you come back, (oh yeah~ )
I am still waiting (oh yea~)
Even if a month goes by, I'll still remember you.
Even if a year goes by, I still won't let you go
Can you understand my desires for you? (oh~no)
Going insane while waiting
and each day feels like a year.
Oh~ I, I I I~ was waiting and while I was waiting
It felt as if you would come back
or if I look back I would see your face
Oh~ I I I I~ am going insane, going insane (yeah~)

Why is it so hard
and everything's so complicated in my head.
I was waiting and waiting
and yet no answers from you
I didn't cry because of you
and you didn't leave because of me
So why is it so hard, why is it so hard?

I will wait for a year
or even a decade if I have to.
Oh~ I I I I I I I I will wait and it's fine if tire myself out.
Going insane while waiting
and each day feels like a year.
Oh~ I, I I I~ was waiting and while I was waiting
It felt as if you would come back
or if I look back I would see your face
Oh~ I I I I~ am going insane, going insane (yeah~)
