Life in Korea:

A Moment's Pause

Life does not notice the comings and goings at its gate. I wish to pause yet Life urges me on. Grief-stricken I continue to toil...

Korea Manse!!

South Korea once again proves itself worthy of world recognition.

In the ongoing World Baseball Classic, the Korean national team thrashes United States with a 7-3 win. The Americans are shaken with disbelief.

Today, Korea defeats Japan, 2-1, advancing to the semi-finals. Korea is the only country that is undefeated in the quarter finals tournament. Koreans are celebrating and they have every reason to do so.

This is a symbolic win for all Asians.

I admire the effort and achievements of both Korea and Japan for proving to the world that Asians are not second-best.

In recent news:

Japan is this year's World Baseball Classic champion, defeating Cuba in the final tournament. Japan has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, (twice with Korea) but still emerges as the champion, oddly enough.

Korea slips to 4th place. Nevertheless, team Korea demonstrated an outstanding play (6 wins- 1 loss) that caught the attention of major league scouts...For a country with a brief baseball history, team Korea has accomplished a great feat. Manse!!!

9th Wedding Anniversary

Hubby and I had a romantic dinner tonight to commemorate our 9th wedding anniversary.

It wasn't lavish or fancy, just a moment of sweet interlude over a feast of good food.

I admire achievers, folks with a winning attitude, people with a spark of wit, people who are modest but self-assured.

I don't mind people tooting their horn if their words are justified by their achievements.  I have no tolerance for dull, ill-humored, pessimistic people whose words are empty.
