New TATTOO!!

SOOOOOOOO I finally did the unthinkable and got my very first tattoo! It was quite an uncomfortable pain but I was proud of myself that I took it like a woman and didn't punk out. The tattoo quotes one of my favorite bible scriptures which is 2 Corinthians 5:7 "Walk by faith, not by sight."  This bible scripture means a lot to me because I feel it represents my entire life... not letting what a current, unfortunate situation dictate my future. Going through certain situations in life has strengthened my faith to the point where when I am faced with what may seem like a negative situation to the average person, I remain calm and thank God for bringing me out of it.

Living life to the fullest

I was having a conversation with my friend here in Korea.  He made a comment about how people tell you what you not supposed to do or what you “can’t” do but in actuality no one really can stop you from doing what you not supposed to do. You just have to be ready to face the consequences that may come along with it.  So it got me to thinking about myself and how I always played everything by the book. Never really lived life on the edge per say.  Model A citizen.

I have always played it safe with everything, trying to maintain that wholesome image that I thought the world taught us to have. That must change. I’m no longer going to live my life the way that I was taught I’m “supposed” to live it by. I’m going to enjoy life! I’m going to do the things I always wanted to do..say the things I always wanted to say. Get a little bit edgy. But don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to turn into some wild child or anything. I’m just going to be the me that I was designed to be. A little less careful and a bit more risqué! Maybe even get “thug life” tatted on my stomach! Haha… or maybe not.  What I’m getting at is we only get one life and we have to live it to the fullest. I don’t want to be in my 40s wishing I would have done this or done that all because it wasn’t socially acceptable or frowned upon! Screw that! I’m going to do what makes me happy regardless of what anyone…family or friends…have to say about it!

No more bed potato

I had an interesting night last night. One of my guy friends invited me out to a club/bar called Rhino. At first I was a bit hesitant, but I decided what the hey! Let me get out for a couple drinks since I'm always couped up in my room, bored as heck. So we went out and I tried a couple new drinks like a blue Hawaiian and a black Russian which was utterly disgusting, so I gave it to my friend. I wanted to try soju but my friend told me it was made with formaldehyde, the same thing that it is put into dead bodies to preserve them. So I passed :(

As the night went on, I found myself laughing and having a good time. When some people get alcohol in their system, they are pure entertainment. LOL!  This female kept saying to me "You are one sexy bitch!" lolol and proceeded to turn it into a song. I was so weak! But overall, I have to say I enjoyed myself. Nice, clean, chill atmosphere with good music and chill people.

heading out...you know I gotta snap a couple pics of myself...it just wouldn't be right if I didn't lol

Korea

...station in Korea for another 11 months so I thought I would share some pics of Korea and the DMZ

 South Korean guards ready for whatever if North Korea tries to get crazy!

 guarding the conference room where all the action goes down!

a view of North Korea...yes we were that close

More to come...

such an advanced world...

so yesterday, these medics came to my office because I was due for a flu shot...turns out they didn't give us the shot, they gave us a little device to snort up your nose which contained the flu virus. To me, snorting a virus up my nose was worse than getting a shot. And now I think I am getting sick because I keep sneezing and blowing my nose! darn the army and all of their immunizations!!

beginning a new life and a blog

Well I have been interested in creating a blog for some time now and after seeing both of my Dominiques with their blogs, I figured I would follow in their footsteps. Woot woot!!


Anywho, as you all may know, I'm currently stationed at Camp Casey which is Dongducheon, Korea.... an hour and a half from Seoul,Korea, which is the most english friendly area in Korea. I'm currently taking a Korean language class so that I can become familiar with the culture and language as well as learn how to write the language.

Well this is all I have for you all right now so until next time... annyeonghi gaseyo!!
