These three kids are the ones we normally hang out for lunch with after the outreach...it's kinda sad because they are going on break soon, and we won't see the guys again because they are going to their mandatory 2 year military service in January! :/ pray for these three as they live this life without the Lord still...pray they would place their trust in Jesus!


Just because vid...Nayeon had some time so she visited us...but when she came she jumped out and scared me^^...a little payback ;)

New roast!

I can't think of one place that sells drip American style coffee...until now! Thank you McDonalds!


You almost never find drip coffee...you always have to settle for Americanos which are espresso ...which can give me an unwanted bathroom trip or an upset stomach...sorry for details, but it is a difficult thing to nit have my dads coffee drip in a country that always drinks coffee ;(


The best thing! $1.50! So nice! Normally it's $2 so we got a discount for better coffee in my opinion.



Gettin serious

Alright guys...I got my game face on...it's exercise time! Whooooooo! I started up my new gym membership...here we go! Get pumped!



Ramen dinner

Well it's cold! Nayeon and I need to save money so we decided to go down to the convenient store and buy some cheap ramen ^*

She is so cute...no chairs so just gettin comfortable squattin ^^ I think most Koreans can do this comfortably for a long time, but Americans couldn't do it without falling or complaining...at least I can't :/


We are happy with our 2 buck dinner :)



Our "Happy Family" kids

Last night, Wendy from my Saturday English class at the orphanage sent me a picture of our girls...they are so precious!



Studio time

I got back in the studio the other day! ^^ I bought a recording system before I came back to Korea, with the hopes to put down some worship music to bless people in the church...

Needless to say it took too long to start recording...the kick in the butt was the guitar class I have, and I wanted to give my students something to take home with them to practice. So I decided the best idea was to get my recording in.

It was a great project....and I am planning on doing more. Its really not that hard...mac makes it so easy!
Well I did these a couple days ago, but it took me a bit of searching to learn how to post mp3s for free on my blog post...ugh....but after some long searching...i found a good way to show you the songs I recorded...I hope you are blessed! 2 Songs...you can download them if you go to the divShare site...

Here is "Hear Our Praises"...this is one of my favorites...was fun because I got to add all the parts like a full band...guitar, vocal, harmony vocal, bass guitar, and box drum....^^


This is "Rescue"....another goodie...again sounded a lot better when I went in a second time and added my bass guitar to the mix.

My this encourage you believers in the Lord. All for God's glory my friends and loved ones! Grow closer to the Lord!

What is this?!

OK for those of you that were guessing on what this is....
No...its not an egg....nice try....lol.....no its not snot (you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that! ^* but you did make me laugh....well snort....keep that a secret though!)

It is Citron Tea! In Korean its called "You-Ja-Cha" (유자차), cha meaning tea....mmm so good!
As you can see in this picture, what they do is they make a marmalade out of the citron fruit (practically a mix of orange and lemon)...but less of my babbling....listen to some pros from Wikipedia!

"The fruit is thinly sliced (peel, pith and pulp) and soaked or cooked in honey or sugar to create a chunky syrup. This syrupy candied fruit is mixed with hot water as a fragrant tea, where the fruit at the bottom of the cup is eaten as well. Often preserved in the syrup for the cold months, Yujacha is served as a source of fruit in winter."

Interesting huh?! I really like this tea....it is amazing when it is served hot or cold! You gotta try some YUJACHA!

For those of you who are Taiwanese or Japanese natives/residents...there is an equivalent in your country. Look for 柚子茶 (Pinyin: Youzi cha, Japanese: yuzucha). Happy hunting for this really great drink!

Grace in the hospital

Eun-Hae or Grace, Nayeons good friend, got in a car accident the other day. Shes ok but her back is bothering her so she is staying for a bit to heal. We went an visited her at night and didn't know all of Nayeons other friends were gonna go too! lol good times... Pray for Grace that she would get better...she's a good sister in the Lord! (not that that is the only reason to pray because she is a believer!)


We found a cool wall for a pano...cool lookin!
