Here is my not-so-typical time in Thailand. Although I didn't even get to see Bangkok, I had one of my few white friends, Brian, his Thai girlfriend, Aey, and her friend, Em, show me an amazing time. I probably would have died in Thailand without them.


This was my first time driving on the left side of the road!


Opposite world.


Lots of nice cars in Thailand...including rice rockets.


Tropical fruit everywhere.


Drinking real coconut juice.


We first went to an island called Ko Larn. This is the place where we stayed at.




This is Brian, the most sinful friend I have.


Lots of motor bikes everywhere. Apparently, EVERYONE knows how to ride one, so Brian and I looked stupid.


The couple that hates to eat.


The couple that loves to eat. I loved hanging out with Em because she was very cheerful and hilarious. She taught me how to eat, speak, and appreciate Thai.


Fruit smoothies. All the time.


The reason why I came.


Poor attempt.


Poor attempt #2.


The experts. This was probably my favorite part of the trip. Riding on the back of a motorbike with beautiful scenery on a very hot day.


Amazing beach. We're talking postcard stylez.


Chillin.


After Aey and Brian went back into the water, I had a chance to share the Gospel with Em. I really hope that seed grows.




This is a Thai dessert called Lo Ddee. It's like a pancake egg wrap. I loved it.


We were all so full from eating too much that we just had to lie down outside. If I had done this with Em, I guarantee I would've thrown up.


Interesting.




This Hawaiian Blue tasted like Windex with sugar. The couple loved it.


Apparently, Brian had been educating his friends about American culture. Looks like Cali's got another one our team.


Struggling.


The cigarette boxes had pictures of the negative effects of smoking.


Still doesn't seem to affect these smokers.


MONKEY BEACH!!!




It was actually pretty scary being up so close. One almost attacked me. We called him The Bastard.


After Em got sand in her eye, the motor bike taxis took us to the clinic, which was located in the nicest beach I've ever seen in my life.


Clearest water, hands down.


I fell in love with Chai Yen (Thai Ice Tea). I drank it at least three times a day.




I like this picture because it's very representative of how Brian felt about Thai food.


Graphic bathroom sign.


Apparently, many gas station bathrooms don't have walls for the men's side.


Oh yeah!


Chai Yen in packs.


Yellow watermelon.


Brian and I got ourselves a Thai massage for less than $10.


I got a huge girl while he got a smaller and prettier girl. I got the better massage though, so I was thankful. I loved all the wrestling moves she worked on me. Cracks are always good signs.


Thai people love Korean food and culture. I saw a billboard of the Wonder Girls. I heard "Nobody" ringtones. I heard "Nobody" being played in the supermarket. I even heard people singing along to it. So yeah, like every foreign country I've visited, we ate Korean food.




This was the one thing Brian wanted from Korea. The 1.8 liter bottle was full when we came in and empty when we left. Alcoholic.


Here is another fixed up car that I actually got to ride in.




Of course, there was noraebang after Korean food.


Unfortunatley, it was the worst noraebang experience. Song selections were horrible for foreigners.


You see a lot of these in front of houses. Something about spirits.


Colorful taxis.


On my last day, I visited the old capital city, which was full of all kinds of temples and structures.


Here's a lady selling dessert on the water.


It tasted like crunchy sweet egg.








After beating Sagat, I went looking around for Rayden. So I had to go up.


And up.


And up.


After I beat him, we had to go back down these really steep stairs.


Flower flavored drink.


Cool floating village.








Ice cream on bread. Not as good as ice cream waffles.






Brian was excited about only one thing: the world's largest Crocodile Farm. Supposedly, it has over 100,000 crocodiles. It made it to Guiness.


For sale.


Here are your choices.


So very many.


Feeding them was pretty crazy.


I learned just how scary crocodiles can be.






I got to shoot a gun for the first time. CRAZY loud!


Ain't no Thailand without elephants.


Elephant show.


Crazy close.






Unlike the states, Thailand allows you to get real close to the animals and even feed them.


Super close.




Feeding the crocs with bamboo sticks was even crazier.


It was like intense fishing, but the object was to avoid getting the bait from being eaten.


Amazing crocodile show. I actually had to turn away at times whenever they'd put their head inside the mouth.




Finally, we went to the coolest mall I've ever been to in my life.


DVDs.




CHEAP JAPANESE FOOD!


Best Chai Yen throughout trip. Had to get two.






For dessert...


amazing sandwiches. More Chai Yen.

On the plane ride back, after the pilot gave us the weather forecast, one lady couldn't stop repeating, "영하 6도?! 영하 6도?!" It is truly cold in Korea. ㅠㅠ

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"
I recently rewatched "Alice in Wonderland" after not seeing it since I was in elementary school. As I was watching the White Rabbit in action, I couldn't help but empathize with the poor guy. I don't know how many times I look at my watch everyday as I'm riding the subway or bus. I HATE running to my next student's house after being late for my first one. Time truly is money, and I hate it. Today, Jaunty told me that I'm working too much. Coming from him, for some reason, it really hit home. Too bad I'm not going to do anything about it.

I finished reading "Animal Farm" today. It's amazing how George Orwell was able to depict our current North Korea so accurately. My favorite quote from the book comes from the very last paragraph at the end:
"Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
But still, this comrade had no game on "1984."

I'm going to start reading "Mythology" since I never really read the stories when I was younger. I actually had it for summer reading for 9th grade English honors, but that also was the year that I decided to not believe in studying during the summer. I am still an avid advocate against summer school.
*I never ended up taking English honors because of that book.

On IMDB with less than 3,000 votes, this movie got a 5.8 rating. I'm so sad that this movie sucks. I'm even sadder that I can't even watch this sucky movie.

Whenever a mom texts me to cancel class, I always respond with "네 알겠습니다," but what I really want to write is "감사합니다!!!" It's nice to eat dinner at home.

This week's persecuted church: Iraq
About two months ago, two Christian girls were murdered with their homes being blown up, wounding their mother. Al Queda and other terrorist groups continue the rise of violence even though the government had made claims to protect Christians. Pray regarding this senseless violence.

One of my kids has an older brother who always fights with his mom in the other bedroom. We can hear all the screaming, hitting, and crying even from our room, so it's pretty disturbing. Today, the older brother actually ran out of the house crying after what sounded like constant pain. The month of January has been rough in this family. Let's hope for a better February, David.

I've gone to 노래방 three times since Saturday. I think I'm going again tomorrow. If Dinko's here, what do you expect?

I've been complaining to people that I can't remember the last time I saw a really good movie. I watched Erin Brockovich in high school in my psych class but never got to finish it. Well, I just finished watching it for the first time the whole way through. Erin Brockovich, the last good movie I saw. True story, y'all.

"officially on vacation!!!!" This is what my old-worker, Margaret, texted to me today. I totally feel her. Leaving that hakwon building did wonders to your endorphin levels. I actually wanted to stop by with some donuts and see how everyone was doing. Unfortunately, the weather was miserable today and so was the traffic. But this is one of the few times that even private tutors get a break. It makes me so happy when I hear that my students are going somewhere far and will not come back for a long time. Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat bar. Truly.

Today's Daniel Adventure:

(crying because I had disturbed his sleep).
Me: Daniel, you're 10 years old! You're not supposed to cry anymore!
Daniel: My friend is 10, and he cries too!
Me: Well, then your friend is a baby.
Daniel: But my mom cries too! She's not 10!
Me: But she's a woman. It's ok for her to cry.
Daniel: Then I'm a girl too!
Me: No, you're not! You're a boy!
Daniel: No. I have no penis.
Me: Fine. Prove it then. If there's something there, we're going to cut it off. Go get the scissors.
Daniel: My dad cries too!
Me: He does?!
Daniel: Yeah. When people die.

So this went on for a while, but he eventually stopped crying after I started laughing at all of his examples. Daniel, it's actually ok to cry. You make me cry all the time.

This week's Persecuted Church: India
Believers are being arrested and accused of "malicious acts to outrage religious feelings and punishment for criminal investigation." Hindu extremists barge into worship services and attack Christians as they are charged with forceful conversion. Pray for the release of those imprisoned and the many who work and study at Bible colleges throughout India.

Yesterday, I was at Hyundai Department Store with one of my students, and I saw a Body Shop. This winter seems to be colder than any other winter I've been in Korea (did you guys see how frozen 한강 was?), so I decided to get some lotion for my extra dry hands that have grown these nasty brown spots. But right before we walked into the store, I felt so embarrassed to walk into such a girly store with all its colors and scents and whatnot. I felt even more cowardly when my student laughed at my absurd behavior, so I bit my pride and walked in.

I never knew lotion could be so expensive! One of the workers rubbed a sample onto my right hand, but I decided that this lotion stuff was ridiculous and left the store. After some minutes, I looked at my right hand and noticed how much cleaner it looked compared to my left hand. In fact, it felt smooth and normal again! I bit my pride once more and returned to the store to buy the cheapest bottle that they had-12,000 won. They even gave me a membership card, which I will hide in one of the secret compartments of my wallet. So there you have it. Phil actually invested in hand lotion. I still think this crap is overpriced.

Last night, I had a dream that I was playing the original Street Fighter II on SNES with Shaq. We both chose Dhalsim, but his character was able to bite me like Blanka does. What a dream.

Happy Sabbath.

This week's persecuted church: North Korea
Repatriation is the return of POWs, displaced persons, and war
refugees to their original country. For thousands, this is great
news, but this is actually a nightmare for North Koreans. Especially
with Christians who thought they were safe in China, many are rounded
up by police and sent back for definite torture and probably death.

So I started posting about persecuted churches in our church's forum almost two months ago. Here are the statistics:

11/23 - 74 hits
11/30 - 73 hits
12/7 - 60 hits
12/14 - 42 hits
12/28 - 19 hits
1/7 - 12 hits

I find this downward trend to be more amusing than discouraging. I wonder how low it'll go though.

So I finally decided on a concrete New Year's resolution for this year. I've already screwed up once, but my goal for 2009 is to always make it back home on Saturday nights before the subways close. As the next day is the Sabbath, I believe that our worship starts with how we treat our Saturday nights. If I'm hanging out with friends or even watching a movie til 1 or 2 in the morning, that already says something about how I view the Lord's Day, right?

But with that said, I must give another shoutout to all those who have been praying for my horrible horrible insomnia and sleeping habits. Last week, I went to bed around 10 or 11 every single night, which gave me at the very least a solid 8 hours of sleep each night. It makes such a huge difference the next day the whole day. Sleep truly is a gift from the Lord. If you cannot sleep these days, I'd be more than glad to pray for you!

So I've started The Kite Runner, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. There has never been a book that has made me genuinely angry at a fictional character in my life. As I told Linda, that's powerful writing! I haven't enjoyed a book this much since Life of Pi, which is officially my favorite novel thus far. If you've got time, pick it up. Even if you don't have time, pick it up!

These days, slowly but surely, I have been progressing in my episodes of LOST. It really is a fascinating show filled with so many different characters and mysterious plots. I like how it shows each character's background before they had crashed onto the island. You get to know their past struggles and problems, which give you a better understanding of their personalities and behaviors at the present. It kinda reminds me of the church how we're all, in a sense, lost and seeking to survive in our difficult situations. We all have strengths and weaknesses, but there is one truth that everyone must acknowledge-every single person is important in one way or another. Today's small group meeting felt like an episode of seeing everyone's past before the crash. With that said, let's watch another episode.

Jos is the border zone between the predominately Muslim north and

hundreds were attacked and killed with the burning of churches and
homes. Pray for not only faithfulness but also protection from
bitterness against hostile Muslims.

Evangeline Lilly isn't the most beautiful girl in the world, but I am strangely really attracted to her. It's kind of amazing that she's only 5 years older than me. Did you know that she made a brief appearance in Freddy vs. Jason? Only Dinko would care about something like that. Haha.

Last night, I had a chance to play with some of Zeus' cousins. The funniest thing was hearing them call him 재우스. I was really shocked to see just how good his Korean was though. It was so funny listening to him explain why his cat's name is Dr. Doom. Man, I had forgotten just how fun that heretical guy could be. I FREAKIN' should have taken pictures last night! Ahh!

This week's persecuted church: Vietnam
Hmong people, an ethnic minority group, has been growing in the number of Christians. However, the government sees it as a threat and many are being persecuted. Bounty hunters are offered $44 for every human head. Men are having their Achilles tendons cut off. People are tied up and thrown into rivers to drown. But the church continues to grow rapidly.


I was waiting for the subway today and saw our church on the huge local map. I think it's really neat how they drew the picture of the building quite accurately.

As today is the last Sunday of 2008, our small group shared New Year's Resolutions for 2009. Last year was the first time in my life where I made real resolutions. The amazing part is that I not only accomplished them but went even further with my goals.

Goal #1: Finish memorizing 1,000 Korean vocabulary words.
Result: Memorized 1,100 words.

Goal #2: Finish reading 흥부전 and 심청전.
Result: Finished both AND 장화홍련전.

I actually really wanted to finish 콩쥐 팥지전 too, but December just became way too busy. But after I finish that, I want to read 소나기. Just goin' down the list. If I become really ambitious, I might even take my dad's advice and start some basic 한자 too. Ugh. It never ends!

I'm all done with 30Rock, so now I'm on to LOST. Both so very different.

Memorable Quotes:
"You wanna get drunk?"
"No, there's too many phones in here."

"A guaranteed disaster! Like eating a burrito before having sex."

I'll miss you Miss Lemon just like I missed Dwight Schrute.

My good friend, Zen, told me that 2008 was a really bad year for her. I agree with her. In fact, I think it was one of the worst years of my life. Thank goodness it is almost over! Nevertheless, it had its good memories that will go down in Phil history.

Funny how every time I hang out with Jae, we hang out like crazy. On this Christmas day, we watched our favorite chick flick at his 비디오방.


Where's my girl standing in front of me asking him to love her?

On the way home, I listened to all these old school slow jams that I used to listen to in my teens. I went back to slow dancing to Boyz II Men in 7th grade and to those sleepless nights because of some girl who had stolen my heart. As I was listening to Brandy, I came to realize that there have actually been three separate girls who made me cry! Girls may be physically weaker than guys, but when it comes to hearts, they're freakin' buff and ruthless. *sigh* Our kryptonite that we cannot live without.

I think today's sermon was the best Christmas sermon I've ever heard in my life. I didn't know that angels only sang at creation and Jesus' birth. I didn't know that shepherds were like thugs. I didn't know that Bethlehem was a no name town like Burlingame. But the most amazing thing was the parallel that Luke gives!

Jesus' Birth
Luke 2:7-She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Jesus' Death
Luke 23:53-Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid.

I was convicted to live more responsively to the Gospel once again. Pax Christi!

Super X-mas Land. I can't believe it's already been 4 years.

When I was in high school and college, I used to go crazy with Christmas gifts. I'd literally spend hundreds of dollars every year, choosing clever gifts that I thought family and friends would appreciate. This year, I made the most money I've ever made in my life. But as far as Christmas gifts go, let's just say I'm not in high school anymore.

The other night, I had a goodbye dinner with an old coworker. There were two remarkable things that she said to me that night. Number one. "I want a relationship with a guy like the relationship that you have with 삼겹살." Number two. "...you're the first person in a very long time who actually made me want to be a Christian..." Like woah.

First, Busy Bee.

Second, Kool Moe totally destroys him!

Here's a lil visual and perspective.

Here's what we have today.

KRS-One speaks.

There is definitely no one more passionate about hip hop than KRS-One. Every time he speaks, he seriously cannot and will not stop talking. He's very big on educating others on understanding hip hop culture and bringing change to community. I wish I had the same passion for spreading the gospel.

This Week's Persecuted Church: Bangladesh

Laila Begum, 45-year-old convert from Islam, was stopped by a dozen Muslim neighbors who blocked her way and demanded money (about $3 US). Then they beat her, her husband, and son with iron rods and sticks. Local officials threatened to burn their houses down and evict them from the area if they filed a case against them. This is just one story out of the thousands in Bangladesh. Please remember them.


After watching the movie, I decided to read the actual book. I wish I had read the book first because all I could imagine were the various movie scenes. Honestly, I was disappointed by the things he chose to write about in his book. I wonder what kind of book I'd write if my only means of communication was through blinking. It was still quite something to think that I had read a book that was written with a left eye.
Now here's a book that I've been meaning to read for a while now. When I first met Momo at last year's Christmas party, she told me that she had chosen her name because of this book. I just started it, but early on it says, "...what Momo was better at than anyone else was listening. Anyone can listen, you may say - what's so special about that? - but you'd be wrong. Very few people know how to listen properly, and Momo's way of listening was quite unique." I think Momo lives up to her name.

These days, I'm going nuts with ramen and chocopie. When I was young, I used to love ramen so much that sometimes I'd put the noodles in my mouth and just suck out all the soup before chewing them. But as I got older, I learned that ramen was bad for you and practically never touched the stuff. In fact, in college, I probably averaged two ramens per year (emergency food). Now, I ALWAYS throw in a cheese as I discovered the pleasures of cheese ramen. As for chocopie, I just never thought much of it even when I was young. But after coming to Korea, I learned the secret of freezing the chocolate marshmallow. Now I go bonkers every winter. I feel like a pregnant woman.
Another winter change my body experiences is dry skin. I absolutely cannot stop scratching my arms and legs. I don't know what I'd do without my milk & honey body lotion. Nevertheless, lotion doesn't last forever, and I go back to indulging my itch.

I just found out that my whole building gets one large water bill, so the residents split the bill 12 ways. Our electricity bill is divided by floors, which means that we split with our next door neighbor. We asked our landlord about it, but he just said to wait until they approached us. After living here for exactly two months now, we still have yet to pay for any electricity. *shrug* He's the boss. The billing system is so funny here. I could just leave my bathroom light on 24 hours!

This week's persecuted church: Cuba
Pastor Gude Perez was imprisoned for 6 months for "human trafficking," taking money to help people leave the country. He is involved with the "Apostolic Reformation," a group that is active in evangelism and church growth. The leaders and church members are harassed and threatened, and his wife can only see him once every 21 days. Remember the Christians of Cuba!

This past week, I learned that my dad is actually a pluralist, believing that all religions lead to God. I also learned that my 실장님 hadn't been going to church this whole time. The last time she had gone was in high school! I'm realizing that being a Christian can get harder as you get older. Life really ain't no youth group retreat. This world is so broken.So my phone started updating something through the Internet after I had tried to receive a certification approval text message. After the update, my phone started showing the weather forecast for the next three days. I was scared out of my mind that I'd have to pay for every second of Internet usage, but it turns out that it's all free. If I'm not connecting to the Internet, how am I getting these weather updates? Cell phones are crazy! And, no, that is not a cool picture of my phone.

I've been going to our Wednesday morning prayer meetings for a month now. Every time I wake up for it, I tell myself that I'm going to call Mike to tell him that I won't be making it out. But I somehow end up dragging myself out of bed and into the subway train. It's been really good every time I've gone, and I encourage everyone to join our 5 or less people group.

This week, I got a chance to meet Alex and Shinae, our Korean Canadian married couple. In one of our conversations, we were complaining about how Korean and Chinese people are notorious for selling fake goods. But out of no where, Alex simply exclaimed, "We got skills!" It was so funny hearing that from him, especially in the context of the conversation. It reminded me of the time when my high school friend, Pat, got a water cup at Taco Bell but used it to get free soda. I told him that he was a cheap Korean to which he responded, "Yea Yea, Korean Pride!" This incident reminds me of the story that Pastor Ryan told in one of his sermons when his dad would pick up pennies from the ground and say, "Penny도 돈이야!" This anecdote reminds me of the times when my mom would take towels home from the gym that she used to work out at. Just ask Simon...we have a GANG of towels at home. Koreans are so funny.

My old coworker and buddy, Brian, wrote to me today. Here's a sample of what he wrote:

"If you aren't happy, you gotta change things. Your life story isn't already written man, you are writing it yourself, every f*cking day! So carpe mother f*cking diem."

"I drank to you and to the best job in the world a couple of times here. People just kind of look at me like I'm crazy. That's true and all, but still.

You're always my boy Phil. Always got your back."

I had a good laugh at the carpe dium part. Brian is a good reminder to me that this world is full of very lost people. He also reminds me that people actually do swear a lot in emails and chatting...something I'm not very used to. But yeah, he promised me the best time in Thailand, so that's my next biggest goal. I'm gonna throw Korean girlfriend out the window.

I started reading Roald Dahl's Collected Stories. The only problem is that it's over 800 pages and heavier than my Bible. Not only is it a pain to carry around, but I get even more stares in the subway. I'm sure the cover doesn't help either. Which is why I'm going to Kyobo tomorrow to buy Kite Runner and Momo (the book). I can read Roald Dahl shamelessly alone in my room and read the others shamelessly out in public. I can't believe I'm buying books now.

I finished The Office. I finished Arrested Development. Guess who's next in line.

Tina Fey is great!
