Ah, remember the good 'ol days of Xanga? Gosh, I feel so old. Well, I remember posting all my angry rants on that thing. It was rather therapeutic, and my friends really enjoyed reading it. So, I decided to give the blog world another whirl. Except this time, I have to be a bit careful about my "identity." I'm not scared of people finding out who I am (I can care less, as I'm the most "I don't give a fuck" type of person), BUT I do have a career that may be affected if my identity were to be revealed. So, until I get thousands of hits and can make a living solely off this blog, you will know me purely as the "skinny little bitch."
I don't really have a "set" niche, plan, nor category in which my blog will fall into, as I am no expert in any particular field. But, you can look forward to reading blogs about my life and experiences in Korea (during the past couple of years), as a Korean-American female. I think it will be completely different from reading a Caucasian-written blog about Korea (as I know the language and culture quite better), as well as a Korean-written blog about Korea (as I am still mostly American, having spent most of my life there). I still think that I'm a good mixture of both, but coming to Korea has definitely raised a lot of questions about my identity. I don't quite feel at home here, but neither do I in the states (I'm deathly scared of going back and readjusting to the American life: driving, rent, bills, credit cards, blech). I do love to travel though, so maybe I'll settle somewhere else in the world? Only God knows..
I will be writing about the best and worst places (IMHO) to eat, grab coffee, party, work-out, shop, take a short weekend trip, etc. I'm very, very picky when it comes to food, so hopefully you won't be disappointed with my suggestions. I've also traveled all over South Korea, and have been to all the major and not so major cities. So, it seems like my blog will consist of a bunch of randomness about Korea, but I assure that each blog will be of utmost sincerity, honesty, and good intentions of helping those who come to Korea not having a clue about what to do or about the culture.
And most importantly, I am going to do a little SOCIAL EXPERIMENT. Love is probably one of the most important aspects of a person's life, so I most definitely can't leave that out of my blog. Having only one serious boyfriend in the past couple years (which turned to shit, I'll write that in a later blog) and a multitude of dates/dating that didn't work out, I started thinking...am I attracted to the "wrong" type of guys? Well, yes, I am. I like the tall, handsome, built type of guys and 99% of the time, they turn out to be a douche, crazy, or boring. So, I thought I'd change it up a notch and try dating guys that I would normally NEVER give a second look to, at a bar/club/etc. Let's face it, when you enter the working world, how easy is it to meet people of the opposite sex around your age? Not at all, and bars and clubs ARE the only places. Friends of friends? Psh, I know them all already.
So, I have a plan: to go to conventional places like churches, bookstores, markets, etc. in search of a NORMAL, decent guy who wants a serious relationship, or at least wants more than just getting into my pants. I am aiming for TWO dates/month and will update after each date. Despite my not-so-good luck in the love department in the past, I'm still a hopeless romantic and believe that some day..my prince will come. So, who knows? Maybe I'll actually fall for one of these experiment rats, kekeke. But only time will tell..
