four brothers, two koreans, and an american

deery-lou.
yesterday i had my monthly meeting with my ansan sisterhood group. only two of them showed up: baeguyver and the girl whose name i can never remember. baeguyver was holding dunkin dounuts bags. i was hoping were we going out to dinner. i was uber-hungry. after noticing the bags though i feared otherwise. my fears were confirmed. we ended up at the movies. i had two choices for english films: four brothers or some love story. i kind of wanted to see charlie and the chocolate factory but they didn't seem too keen on it. everytime i mentioned it they didn't respond. we finally settled on four brothers. i think baeguyver was in the mood for an action flick. we had an hour to kill before the movie. we sat at a table that looked out onto the city of ansan. you could see the light festival. i asked baeguyver if he took his family there. he replied, "oh, not beautiful. no." we ate dounuts and drank coffee. yummy! baeguyver and i then went down to the arcade to play some games. i found this fighting game that i kicked ass on. video games rock!!! now i know where i'll be spending all my extra time. hopefully i can find some near my apartment. while we were waiting for the movie to start i had to talk on the phone to one of the sisterhood members who couldn't make it. he kept saying sorry. they're very polite. anyway...the movie was all right. nothing too great. the girl kept thinking that mark wahlberg was from the new kids on the block. i tried to explain that it was his brother but it was useless. there's a scene toward the end of the movie out in the snow where marky-mark looked really good. i'm not sure the girl liked the filmt. she said something about too much senseless violence. afterwards baeguyver dropped me off at home. he wants to take me to another island with his son in november. hee hee. that should be fun. i ate crackers and peanut butter. then went to bed.

on tuesday while on my break some monk came into our school and started to chant and beat on this wooden instrument. i really wasn't sure what to do. we looked at each other and bowed. then i returned to what i was doing. he continued to play. finally anna came in and i told her to go talk to him but she was too chicken. eventually jk came out and said something to him and the monk left. never really found out what it was all about. i saw another monk, or even perhaps the same one i didn't see his face, on my way to school this morning. he was going from shop to shop playing his instrument. interesting.

be well...

They were asking for some form of donation. They used to carry thier little sack on thier back. It's for rice. People used to donate rice when they visit. Then monk pray for your peace in retrun. But nowadays, i'm sure they are expecting cash. It's up to you weather you donate some money for them or not. But, first I would like to know if they are real monk or some kinda hobo in fake uniform .
