where is my kim yeo jun?

I seriously love this drama...
Oh 김여준 if only you werent a character and instead of her you were in love with me....

what's your name?

Audrey = noble strength
김진아 = truly beautiful

It's hard to live up to one's name eh?


What does your name mean?

changing the last name

I know i've been blogging a lot about weddings and marriage, but trust! It's not a normal thing for me to be thinking about marriage this detailed.

I was in the office today and my boss had just gotten off the phone with a business partner who was complaining about the process of changing her last name after a divorce. Our boss then proceeded to say, "ladies, forget about changing your last name - it takes too much time and energy and then if you end up getting divorced, you have to do it again!" Harsh - i know.

And then on the bus, I overheard this lady saying how she didn't realize how many things she had to change her name for - licenses, credit cards, insurance, etc.

I did some research and you have to file for a change request within 90 days for it to be free, orelse it's 25 dollars (which isn't bad). If you want to change your name not for marriage purposes but just because, it's 137 dollars. And then there's those people who combine names, which i think would be really weird for Korean last names

i'm not too keen on changing my last name - I like Kim.

Maybe I'll convince my husband to change HIS last name....

or maybe we can make up our own last name...

dear future husband 1DEC2009

Dear Future Husband,

I had a dream about you yesterday. I had a dream that we were married and we opened up a used bookstore together. It was a great business with tons of people. You were kind of quiet and sat behind the cash reading a book. I would greet people and show them our collections which included a wall of national geographic magazines dated back to the very first issue.

Have you ever had those dreams where you have no such feelings prior to a dream, but the feelings within your dream carry over to your real life? Call me crazy, but i am madly in love with this mystery man.

Where are you?!?! huk...

Anyways, it's exams season. Don't forget to eat, sleep, and pray!! Unless you're from waterloo and on co-op or.... working aged? (in which case you're quite old! HAHAHA)

Wherever you are, i'm praying for you!!!

study tips: food

I found my newest favourite blog! It's called the study skills blog and i'm so pumped to start trying them out. Sadly, i'm not in school right now but since some friends are starting exams, i thought i'd share! There's too much to share in one sitting, but since everyone seems to eat junk food during exams I thought i'd share what you should be eating.

1. Having trouble sleeping? Eat cheese
2. omega 3 fatty acids (especially fish)
3. peanuts! They have vitamin b, antioxidants, folate AND they have no cholesterol!
4. Strawberries - contain fisetin which helps with remembering what you've studied
5. Blueberries - increase learning capacity and motor skills
6. Berries in general! have antioxidants that are not only good for your body but for your brain as well! AND they boost your immune system so you wont get sick and feel crappy while studying!
   
7. Moderate doses of chocolate (dark chocolate = boosts brain function; milk = improve visual and verbal memory)
8. Feeling sluggish / slow? DRINK WATER! (6-8 cups a day ^^) or grape juice does the same effect!
   
9. Sage - improves neurotransmitter levels
10. Curry - helps to remove plaque in the brain
11. Apples! they help to awaken your brain and they taste delicious!!!

I realized I stopped referencing my facts and i'm too lazy to go back to find them, but all of it is from studyskillsblog. It's a pretty cool site!!
