Happy New Year in Asia

I had a good couple of weeks. I didn't blog last week because there wasn't too much going on. It's been pretty normal. Nothing exciting. The new year was on Monday. On Friday, the kids came to school in their hon boks. It's the traditional dress in Korea. They were so cute. We played traditional Korean games with them. It was kinda fun.

Having a four day weekend was nice. I talked with my parents. Then I meet Jason and we had lunch. We were going to see a movie, but nothing good was playing. We went over to a coffee shop and sat. Then I went over to the COEX mall. They have an aquarium. Then I went home and called it a day.

Sunday, I got up and met Amber for lunch. We went to Starbucks and then to my church. After church, we meet Jason and had dinner. After that we went and saw the Changeling. It was great movie. I got a little worry during the middle that is one of the those chainsaw killer movies that Michelle doesn't go and see, but it wasn't. Then we went home and called it day.

On Monday, I meet up with Jason and Amber at Outback to play cards. We played Phase 10. It was a very close game. Afterward, Amber and I went to city hall and checked out the ice skating there. Then we walked over to the stream. It was pretty. We parted ways. Amber looked for a bus and I went to the subway. I found a bookstore with a huge English section. Normally the English section is small and right now more than half the books are about Obama. He is our president, but I don't really want to read about him.

On Tuesday, I called Hilda and Tony. I had a nice long talk with both of them. Then I meet Danny, Sue, Elizabeth, Hannah and Amber to ice skate at city hall. We bought tickets for 4 because that was the next open spot. We walked over to the stream and walked around there. We ice skated for the whole hour. It was a ton of fun. Then we had dinner at Lotte Ria, it's kinda like buger king. Then we split ways and I called it a day.

It was a good weekend. I enjoyed myself. I got to spend time thinking on all the bus rides to and from Seoul I made this weekend. One thing, I thought a lot about was God. I realized that I'm searching. I want to know God. I want to get lost in my God. I'm seeking Him, with all my heart. I want to know everything about Him. I have a long list of things to read. While at work I'm reading Max's Lucado Chronicles of the Cross. It contains No Wonder They Call Him Savior, Six Hours One Friday, and And the Angles Were Silent. I have Mere Christianity, Case for Christ, and lots of other books.

I also realized that sometime over the weekend, I am no longer daddy's little girl. I'm not sure how it happened. Those of you that know me, know that I am daddy's little girl. That my father is the greatest thing in my world. I think the world of my father. I couldn't ask for a better dad. I lovingly call him Poppy bear. However, I got an e-mail from and read it. Just the way I read it in my head, I heard that I'm no longer daddy's little girl. He sees me as a grown-up. In his eyes, I'm an adult. So the days of being daddy's little girl are over.
