Introducing......

His first published comic book ever!
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar by Adam Sexton and Hyeondo Park.


Last weekend, he brought 2 of these mangas to Zack's graduation. At first, I didn't even realize that it's his comic book.
And then Jennifer came to the bedroom (we were chilling and messing up Jerry's place hehe) and said that it's his manga.
We were like, WOW Hyeondo! It's so awesome! You're the man! Please sign the book..... We need your signature.... huehuheuheue...
And apparently, he also wrote his bio himself (it's on the first page, I think).
He got teased the whole night because of it. ^___^

Anyway, here it is.. his first published book ever, out now on sale. Buy it online or at the stores. (Really, Hyeondo, you need to pay me for being your spokesperson..^^)

He's currently working on his 2nd book, Huckleberry Finn.

Hyeondo, don't forget my free-signed-comic-book, arite! ^___^V

Cancelled

My Korean class is cancelled due to too few students registered...
T___T

Aahhh.. And I was so looking forward to it. Dammit!

Learning Korean

After being fed up for not understanding what they're saying on the movies and after countless times of having people talking in Korean to me for a while, I finally decided to take on Korean!!

Hauhahuahuha... it'll be interesting, I think.

I hope I don't mess up the language when talking.

You know, saying 1 thing in Japanese and another in Korean and the rest in English, oh maybe I'll slip in some French and Chinese also... heuhuehuheuhe....

Coz that's what I do right now...hihihihi..

Starting to say one thing but my mind could only say it in another language other than the one that I want to say. And the bad thing is sometimes I don't even remember that it's another language and I just say it and people (well my sis usually) will look at me weird, like, wth is she talking about?? heuhehuhe... ^____^

Well, I was only practicing anyway... people said practice makes perfect, right...? or in my case, not. >___< Beginilah kalo belajar macem2 bahasa tapi separo2 gak pernah sampe selese...heuhuehue...

Can't wait for the class to start (May 12th, in case you're wondering)....

I already know some words though and the first thing I learned were the cussing words)...heuhueheuhe..

Always, learn the curse words first!

My theory is if we know the curse words, even if we can't speak the language, we'll know if they are talking bad about us and we can say it back to them. ^___^V


맞다 ? -- is this even the right character of what I wanted to say?? Saa..

Interesting Blogs

The other day, I was watching CNN while finishing my puzzle. I made the ancient map, by the way.
There was this show where you could send interesting blogs (could be your or somebody else's) to them and they'll show them on the show.

2 blogs caught my eyes...

1. http://little-people.blogspot.com/
This blog is written by this guy in UK who placed "little people" (people figure that he made by clay) around the city (mostly London) and photographed them.
It's really, really neat. Check it out.

Hmm... I wonder.... should we go backpacking aroung UK and try finding these little people??

Oh and uh.. watch your step!!

2. http://facesinplaces.blogspot.com/

This one is also cool!
Have you ever wondered or imagined that things around us sometimes make a face?
Well, I did but I surely never thought to take pictures. But this guy (is he a guy? don't remember who made the blog) did.
He (let's just assume it's a he) uploaded pictures with faces, hence the name of the blog. We could send our pictures too!

Actually, there was another blog that got my attention, but couldn't seem to recall the name of the blog. If I remember it one day (hopefully, but you know, you could always google it yourself, I'm just too lazy to search for it...), I'll come back and post it here.
The blog was about "failed" pictures that you took.
Remember all those blurry-dang-it-pictures that you took?
Well, don't delete them just yet..... You could send them to this blog and they'll show the pictures on the blog. (Don't I sound like an anchorwoman? huheuheuheuhuhe)

Hmm.. I never catch that show again on CNN.
Don't remember what time or what day that I caught the show.
Anybody know? please let me know.

Purikura

There's a new purikura store open in Ko-mart.
A bit expensive, $10 per pic -_- but we managed to go there 3 times heuhuee...
And we can decorate the purikura.
Actually we're waiting for the black machine but it hasn't been on. Oh well..

Silent Library

Thanks to Gletwin who ruined my work day. Spent a few hours watching these videos at work...huehuhehuehe....

I only put 1 video here, but you could search it under "silent library" or "Japanese game shows".
Oh, the human tetris was funny too. Just search it under "human tetris" on youtube.

I was laughing (without sounds, of course =p) while watching one of the videos and then my boss went pass by me and actually looked at me.
I turned my head down and started to cough.... huehuehuhuee....
Caught me off guard there... ^____^

Silly Kids

LOL!

Agustinus Wibowo

Meet Agustinus Wibowo.

Got his website, http://www.avgustin.net/home.php from Jalansutra mailing list that I've joined for some time now.

He's an Indonesian who's been backpacking throughout Central Asia since 2005.
He was a student in Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
He first started his backpacking journey by accompanying his friend to Mongol.
After that first trip, he simply couldn't resist to go on another journey.
That lead him to India, Afghanistan, Iran, and some other countries that I have not even heard of.. hehe..

For more detail, please check his journal out.
Also, his journal will be published regularly (I think) in kompas under travel - petualang.
Some of his works are also published in some magazines (China National Geographic for one).
And he's about my age!!! *Makes me wonder what I have achieved in my young age ^^*

I've been reading his journal since the beginning of his journey at work...hehehhee.. I couldn't stop reading it. ^____^
I haven't finished reading it. There're just so many of them and before I knew it, it was time to go home huehuehuhee.. -- FYI, I did work, I wasn't just browsing on the internet.. =p

It just amazed me.
I can't imagine if I have to go through all that he has been going through all these years.

And here I was planning to go backpacking around Europe... >______>

Just simply could not compare.....*shaking my head*
