Precious moments lost to time

Well here I am. Its been 6 months now since I have left America. Its been a long time. I have come a far way from the days of a simpleton watching Minnesota Twins Baseball in the mornings, and awaiting the work day when the weather was very hot. I used to sit in my house sweating...

I have seen my birthday, halloween, 4th of July Celebration (or lack thereof) and now the end of the year festivities (christmas and the prepartion of 2008!?!). I have undergone many transitions to say the least.

I am still going to Mcdonalds to much. I am not excersizing yet but I am hoping to change that soon.
I used to watch Baseball in the mornings. I also liked Kim Bob so much and eating Dongas Fried Pork. I do miss the Popping Sue days. Paris Baguette is still in my life every Saturday when I work in the morning. Its a good bakery.

I went to Japan and had a blast! I can't wait until I go again. I also went to Taiwan. So much things happened in 2oo7

here is a list that will be forgotten due to the passing of Time.

January-May: Enjoying my last semester in Missoula. Deciding my future...Grad school, America work or go abroad. BY chance I found work in Korea. I had also met with many Korean Teachers by chance. Many Korean Teachers came to Missoula in order to learn effective English Skills.
I remember having dinner with a couple of them and learning about Korea. two years ago.

May: Graduation say goodbye to all of my friends some unfortunately probably forever.

May: enjoy my last month in America.
late May-early June: Go to Minnesota, say goodbye to my family, Spend a wonderful 2 days in Missoula with my Korean friend, Spanish Friend and a few other good friends. Take my old roommate back to Whitefish. he had to catch a train in order to go to Japan later in August.

June: Arrive to Korea
go to Japan

July-September: Work at Yale
Discover the most important thing in my life... ^^
October: Halloween Party
November: No Thanksgiving... Adjusted to Korea for the most part.
December: Christmas Party begining to try to improve my teaching manner.
More importantly, my love is growing.

Its going to be a good year 2008! What will I do next I am not sure. Its time to be the "crazy" Nick everyone knew me as not that they know me anymore :( if my friends could see me now they would say something like OMG-WTF is this still Nick? I am interested in seeing their expression

Time is of the essence especially in Korea. I long for the days of resting on the oval and killing time. I also long for FFT~~~ Food For Thought! Its going to go out of business if I dont get back soon :(

more on Precious moments in time.

The most precious moments are the ones where I am cradling my Chagi in my arms.

The Legend of Palmer-Kim







Thank God for Elections! Today in Korea a new president was picked. Probably a very historic meaning for the future of Korea and some help for the future of the World. But Who honestly cares right? Its just another day and a Wednesday at that.
For me this meant NO WORK and simply a Break in the Action!
This was absolutely necessary for the sake of my Sanity~ I feel like I am on the verge of losing it somewhere in the classrooms of Yale.
On to the Extravaganza!
It was one of the best possible days I have had. My Sweetheart and I toured the downtown area of Gloomy oops I mean Gumi (haha) just to simply explore. We went to a restuarant for Lunch and had Dongas...cheese filled and Sweet Potatoe flavored.
Then we went to the CGV building. I will always remember this place because its more classy than most of the buildings seen in this district at least this is my opinion. But its perfect for my Honey and I. We go there for VIPS on occassion or in this case a movie. I am Legend.
I am legend was a bit scary (not for me haha)...I thought it was very interesting. I think its a must see especially if you like Will Smith and movies about the future. Maybe all World Presidents can discuss this movie as potential disaster in the future.
After the movie we rode the bus back to my house. Christina and I talked to a student of ours. I will be giving her a test on Saturday. At my house we were able to relax and just enjoy the time together and realize how wonderful it was to take a mid week break.
Later we went to the Bookstore and I bought a book called Angels and Demons. I like Dan Brown the guy who wrote Da Vinci code. I think he has some good ideas for people to think about.
We also went to a nice restuarant and had dinner. IT was a great way to spend a holiday. I love our Holidays.
So it was a day that I can't even convey or express properly. To say it was Wonderful truly isn't enough. There is no other place i would rather be than with Christina. She turns every cloudy, gloomy, cold day into a Sunny exhilirating thrilling day. As I have said time in and time again When I am enjoying moments with Christina time literally freezes.
I never want to leave these moments.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to go on in Gumi. I have fallen and I can't see how deep my love for you goes.
So now here I am its almost Thursday another day back at the grindstone. Its the best day for me though! This week will be over and done with before you can say lichety split.
