• Valentines

  it's that time of the year again, for those who are single, this is the time we dread the most.  While we will never admit it to the public, but inside our heart we all know we want someone special next to us on that day.  As much as we would like to comment that this day is overrated and those flowers are the product of the evil commercial world, but at least once a year, we won't mind paying premium to make our woman gloat in front of her friends and colleagues.

  However, as for the single ones, we like to consider this day just another day, we try very hard not to think about it, and probably organize some singles dinner for those who lack the significant others to mock at those who really wanted a partner on that day.

  isn't life just interesting?

  Speaking of interesting, a college buddy of mine did something truly unthinkable in my view.  He has always been a golden child, someone with good looks, money, and charisima.  He never needed to worry about money because of his own capabilities and family background, and finding a girlfriend is like a walk in the park for him.  Yet, he has just decided to become a monk, a faithful follower of buddhist belief, permanently.... being the only child, the only male in a traditional Korean family, that is unthinkable.  You can expect how his fiancee think, and family reacts.

  As a result, I will be going to Seoul in two weeks to check up on him and hopefully talk with him, not about asking him to change his decision but to understand his rationale; for I, also, am a lost child.. too many things confusing me and too many troubles in my mind 

  Perhaps after my visit, you will never hear from me again as well.. =) imagine me working out a grand plan to popularize buddhaism, with a detailed business plan and execution team.. perhaps
