Anyways, I will try to write as much as I can. Although my blog’s title is about surrendering to God since I originally thought of writing about my faith life and ministry, I will probably write just about anything…as in anything. That way, I can write more often.
Anyways, Chuseok (Thanksgiving) is around the corner again. I don’t really enjoy holidays in Korea as I have to go to the province and beat the several hours drive. My relatives from my late father’s side are kind and warm. My cousins can speak English too, so it’s not really uncomfortable to stay with them for a few days. Talking about the chores, well, we all share the errands and my “ komo” ( youngest aunt), “keun omoni” ( eldest aunt) and of course my “ si omoni” mother-in-law are very considerate that they don’t really want me or other daughter’s-in-law to carry out most of the chores. But of course, we still help in any way we can. But then again, this is not my idea of spending holidays. ;) I miss the holidays back home where my two sisters Rhia, Rachel and I cook varieties of food and kind of compete which one is the best. And all we have to do is cook and eat because the cleaning and washing of dishes is someone else’s duty. Sigh. I hope I can just stay at home and be a couch potato or hibernate for 3 days or perhaps do some movie marathon or maybe cook some new recipes. But I can’t!
Well, well, well, I’m here Korea and the only thing I can do to stay happy is to accept that it’s gonna be this way every single year. I’m brains aren’t stubborn so I surely can handle well my second Thanksgiving here in the Land of the Morning Calm. =) Good night everyone!
Here are some photos from last year's Thanksgiving day.
See, I still managed to smile although we drove for 10 hours and slept for only 4 hours.
bad posture.. tsk!
