GO CANADA

nostalgic things

so a friend of mine posted on her blog with this:

which brought SOOOO many old school memories. I don't even think they have these anymore in gym class!

Anyways, kind of made me think about the good old days such as:



pogs! before i was old enough to play video games! although... kids these days just seem to play v.games out of preschool...




learned SO MUCH from this show.
loved it until the voices started changing...



i used to LOVE this in preschool. it's a sprinkler! except it used to only really spray at your legs cuz it was tiny.


holy crap it's grown. orelse kids these days have shrunk


wrapping this around my finger and sucking on it


you can't find these anymore.. everyone (including kids) uses mech pencils



light up shoes! apparently these days they even come in air force ones.



greatest
console
ever


tamagotchi! old school
none of that oceangotchi or angelgotchi or tamagotchi with colour and enhanced graphics crap


So that's all i could really think about so far but it was fun!
never really got into the pop culture (ie. buffy, spice girls, bsb, nsync), miss the good old simple games.

olympic highlights!

• bilideau winning canada's first gold in men's moguls
• groves winning bronze in 5000m long track
• robertson having the lead but then missing a jump in snowboard cross giving him silver
• ricker winning gold in women's snowboard cross - pure ownage
• lee sang hwa winning women's 500m long track AND
• mo taebum winning men's 500 m long track on his 21st birthday (feb 15, 1989)
• this brings it to 3 long track which korea wasn't expected AT ALL to do well in
  
• canada 10 switzerland 1 in women's hockey
• canada 8 norway 0 in men's hockey

the more and more i watch olympics,
and despite the many many many glitches happening so far,
the more and more i feel proud to be canadian.

i think in the past, i was proud to be korean because that's what my heritage is. but i'm realizing more and more how canadian i am and how proud i am to be both korean and canadian.

and it drives me nuts to see korean immigrants badmouth canada when canada's doing better than korea AND when canada's the place that's giving them opportunity, education, jobs, etc.

rebellious snowflakes

It's snowing like crazy outside!
I tried to take photos but it's so fast it doesn't catch it on my iphone. So i took a video in attempts of catching the speed (which has been changing the past couple of minutes from super fast to just falling), but it wasn't really clear

It's really cool, though, if you watch individual snow flakes. Although majority of them look like they're falling really fast, if you watch one by one of them, it just looks like they're gracefully falling. It kind of reminds me of a person being herded by a huge group of people in rush hour. And every so often, you'll find that odd snowflake that just goes against the wind, or jumps up instead of falling down.

What a rebel

Anticipation

Tada! Welcome to my one hundredth post!

I haven't been blogging for a while because i was trying to think of the greatest thing to blog about. I couldn't find anything until just now.

I realized right now, I am so happy and it's quite an awesome time for me:
within the next couple hours, it'll be:

• a new year
• valentine's day
• 1 day away from me being legal globally
• ladie's 3000 m speed skating
• freestyle skiing men's moguls

having my birthday and a significant other-less valentines day to spend with family, friends, and awesome food is much more of a blessing than I thought it would be. Today's family dinner had:

• 갈비찜
• sushi (WHITE TUNAAAA)
• shrimp
• crab
• 미억국

sorry dolly... no time to take photos.. but it was VERY good.


cake from my aunt (i love korean cakes)

My small group was awesome and cooked an amazing dinner and a beautiful cake as shown below. Not to mention their awesome words of encouragement and blessing made me want to cry - but i couldnt =P


my cake - see the heart? hehe


with candles.. apparently i have the mentality of an 8 year old


i hate too much...


soooo good... but the pieces kept falling off hehe


you guys made so much haha FATTING ME UP

Not to mention that the 21st winter olympics is during my 21st birthday, I am loving it so far including:

• korea taking the gold from ohno in men's 1500m short track
• korean women dominating in the short track relay semis
• korean women dominating in the short track 500m qualifiers
  
• canada killing slovakia 18-0 in women's hockey
• canadian pride
• true sportsmanship ie. finishing the mogul course with awesome aerials even when it's over for you
  

and despite:

• boring opening ceremonies
• engineering fails
• a korean short track-er taking out his own team mate and preventing a medal sweep
• jennifer heil being beat by kearney (who did do quite awesome)

this year is going to be a good year.
