Yangyang양양 is called a Korean Ibiza. It's been famous recently from last few years since the beach was considered as a good place to enjoy surfing. Now, it's become a hot dating and pick-up place for hot guys and girls. It seems like the viral already goes to foreign tourists. You can see many foreign tourists in Yangyang. I had never been there, so wanted to visit Yangyang. So, my boyfriend and I finally went to trip to this hot place! The most famous place is Surfy Beach. There are many beach bars. We went to the most famous beach bar called "Sunset bar". It's like a club. You can enjoy the food and drinks, and dance with DJ music. Tan Beach, another pool party club, can be also recommended. As a Korean, I felt exotic vibe from the bar and beach. I could realize why people call Yangyang is a Korean Ibiza. Even though Yangyang is famous for dating and pick-up place, you never miss other attraction. There is a thousand-year-old Buddhist temple called Naksansa Temple낙산사. The temple was built in 671! The monk Great Master Uisang who was founded Naksansa Temple is one of the Korean historic figure who established the Buddhism in the Old Korea. The temple is located in the east coast. You can see the beautiful East sea from the temple. I strongly recommend you visit Yangyang Naksansa Temple. The beautiful temple and sea view will blow your all worries away. Your wish and dream will come true, too.

In July, my boyfriend and I went to trip to Sokcho 속초. Sokcho is one of the famous beach on the east coast of Korea. It only takes around 2 hours from Seoul. There is a big wheel that newly opened, it's called Sokcho Eye (probably motived from London Eye😅). We went to the Sokcho beach day and night, and had a picnic eating chicken and beer. We also went to a red lighthouse and a seaside pavilion. The place resonated romantic mode. We were so impressed by Sokcho, it's been so developed to attractive tourist attraction. We also saw many foreign tourists in Sokcho. Of course, I recommend you eat different kinds of seafood in Sokcho such as crab, stuffed squid, cold raw fish soup, and sashimi. There are many cheap fish markets around Sokcho beach. I've been dating with my boyfriend. We met at a workshop that relevant business company sent their employees to learn marketing skill. He asked my Instagram, and we led to this relationship🥰 We are so happy now. He loves me, and takes care of me a lot. I got to sleep well every night after his phone calling. We are making so many fun moments. I like that we make our own fun meme or nicknames. He makes me laugh a lot. We are a gift to each other. Like lyrics of a song we often sing together.🎁❤️ My mom and I went to the Canada Rocky Mountain tracking tour for 9 days.🍁⛰️ We had booked this tour in January early because my mom wanted to go to the Rocky mountain. We saw the four season even in a day. No one even our tour guide can't predict the weather of tracking day. We admired the greatness of nature. My mom had a hard time hiking in the snowy mountain. I was so worried about her. Sometimes we had an argument during the tour. The weather was getting nice when the tour came to the end.🏞️ The last hiking, which is Moraine lake trail, was the highlight our tour. I fell in love with the emerald glacier lake. My eyes and heart was smitten with the emerald lake. The Rocky mountain saw us the unexpectedness and fear of nature in the first days, but beautiful and memorable good-bye smile at the end of the tour. However, the most important thing in this tour is my mom's happiness. Even though we had an argument during the tour, everything was washed out after all. After turning back to Korea, my mom said she was so satisfied to go to the Canada Rocky mountain. She keeps seeing the photos I took during the tour, and reminisces about the tour. It's my best pleasure my mom is happy.❤️ I went to a business trip to Stuttgart in Germany. I didn't know about Stuttgart before. I just realized the city is famous for world class car brand production and modern architecture. I enjoyed Stuttgart's calm and peaceful atmosphere. The city made me want to read books. So I read e-books at palace park😊 I would like to say that Stuttgart is a city of hills and fountains.⛲ The city is made of many hills, so you can view the city down on the hills. And there are fountains on this hills to decorate the city. I visited one of the famous fountains called Galateabrunnen. I feel like I discovered hidden spot of the city that only known for the locals. It was pleasurable business trip to enjoy the city peacefully. And more memorable because of the feeling that I got to know this unknown city. I'd like to visit Stuttgart one more time if there is a chance.🥰 I went to the business trip to Amsterdam for 8 days. It was a bit stressful project even before the trip. There were many problems with the organizer and my clients. I was hesitant to take this project, but I thought I needed to confront my mistake and deal with it by myself. It was so energy-consuming physically and mentally. Whenever I finished my work, I fell asleep right back to my place. Still, I walked around the street and felt Amsterdam. It was so impressive to see the Dutch people daily lives such as bike crowd during the commuting time. I actually had visited Amsterdam 10 years ago. I went to many famous museums there. So, I didn't feel like going to the museums again at this time. Instead, I wanted to feel the Dutch people's daily lives more. I visited beautiful cafes. It was like a cafe tour. The city seems small. I could walk around all the city passing by the famous historic and cultural place by chance. I didn't have a plan, but my walk seemed to know where I needed to head. It was so fulfilling trip mixed with some stress, realization, and simple joy. I think life is like that; mixed with pain and joy. We do back and forth between them in repetition in whole life. At first, it started from work stress, but at the end, it ended with fulfillment and dream-like. I went to a business trip to Las Vegas for a week.✨ There was a trade show called WVC 2024 in Mandalay Bay Convention Center. The work went well. I could enjoy the rest of my stay in Las Vegas well too. I visited the Strip, Downtown Las Vegas(a.k.a Old LV), and AREA 15 etc. It was so fulfilling time. I feel grateful for this opportunity. Moreover, I like my sense of seeing, feeling, and enjoying wherever I stay. I feel like I have a lot of home around the world. I was invited my over 10 years friend and former coworker's housewarming party. Soyoung and her roommate prepared so awesome dinner and a few bottles of wine for me. I was so happy with them talking and having a dinner. They are learning about the French's wine culture, which made a table so fulfilling in mouth and deep knowledge as well. Soyoung's artistic sense was smeared here and there in her house. I got inspired by her interior sense and cooking skill. It was so fulfilling welcoming experience.🥰 I'd like to give them back this kind of warming emotion and memorable experience by inviting them at my place. My friend and I went to a club that I had gotten sponsored. I accepted the sponsor because the club would provide free vodka and finger foods worth 100 dollars!😋 There was no one in the club when we arrived. The club seemed very new opened recently. An hour later, people started coming in. There were so many foreign models. We assumed they were also sponsored to fill the club and give a trendy vibe to the club. Hoping the club would get thrived soon. We could just enjoy the Friday night with free drinks and music. (They didn't provide finger foods because of a chef getting a flu. We assumed they lied providing the finder foods in order to get influencers😅) I've gotten sponsored by many service due to my blog these days. Especially, the gym and sport business have given me free PT and a month voucher. It's fun! I had dreamed that I got many sponsored as a blogger. And it really happened!!! I can work out without spending my money!🤑 That's why I wanted to get sponsored.😅 Of course, there is give and take. I take pictures and videos to post useful reviews for the service in exchange of the free vouchers. I try to catch the strong points of each service or products I got sponsored to post the sincere reviews. I'd like to get more sponsored. Because I can post good reviews in return. Writing is talent that I can give to the society and the world! How was the 2023??? Dated a lot, worked hard, had a hard time to adjusting new job, went to oversea business trips a lot, and posted lots of contents on my Korean blog etc. ... I had a hard time in 2023, but at the same time it was so fulfilling because of the fact that I bore the hardships. I went to a countdown party. It was such a fun party rather than I expected. The party ended early morning on 1st January 2024😅 My first day of 2024 started with hangover.. My family of origin went to hiking for the New Year ceremony. 계방산, Gyebang snow-covered mountain made me feel I entered the new world. 2024 is the Blue Dragon year to the Asian countries. I hope my 2024 will be like the Blue Dragon flying up into the sky.🐉💙 It's already December. I was busy to prepare the season like decorating my place with Christmas decorations, buying presents for friends, and scheduling the year-end party etc. It's also the kimchi-making season. I got new kimchi from my mom😊 Let's spread love!!! My company went to a picnic in the suburbs of Seoul. We prepared lots of foods such as pork, seafood, snacks, and loads of alcohol etc.🥴 Our lodging was the traditional Korean-style house. It was so fun eating, drinking, talking with colleagues, and taking videos for our company's YouTube channel. It's like celebrating our good performance of the year of 2023.🎉 It's blessing that I work with awesome colleagues and boss. It was so busy and dynamic month October. All staffs and me went to business trip to Seoul, countryside, and overseas separately for 2 weeks. I went to business trip to Coex and Busan for KOMARINE 2023. It was like a just personal trip in Busan since I wasn’t main on the project. I ate so many delicious things with a corporate card🤣 Busan in fall was so beautiful🍂🌊 I didn’t know that how calm and peaceful of Busan beach is. I will visit Busan again in fall. Falling in love autumn of Busan. It was so fun hanging out with colleagues and boss😄 October was gone. Everything went to well. I’m grateful to everything. We Koreans had a long holiday. It's called Chuseok 추석, Korean Thanksgiving days. The holiday was 6 days! I was so excited even before the start of the holiday. I didn't have special plan. But I was just so happy because I could take a rest from the work and disappear from people. I couldn't help stop dancing with happiness😁 I visited my parents house. The 19th Asian Games Hangzhou was going on. My family enjoyed watching various games. I also visited my favorite Japanese manga <Attack on Titan> exhibition that had opened at Hongdae. The exhibit reminded my 20s when I had obsessed with the manga and animation. The exhibit was so moving. I could recognize every scene of manga drawing. I went to several book cafes to enjoy drinks and reading. Cafe tour is one of my favorite activities. It's about searching for happy places that makes my writing more happy and inspiring. Usually, books are associated with coffee. But, I prefer drinking a bottle of beer or a cocktail when reading or writing. That's why I started searching for book cafe or book pub that serves alcohol and books. Workout also can't be ignored even in holiday. I started joining running club along the Han river. October in Korea is so beautiful and refreshing after hot and humid summer. The sky gets wide and high. The autumn breezy with warm air makes people feel relaxed. I could run with breathing the breezy air. Nothing special, but it was so happy and lovely holiday🥰 I went to the Gatsby cruise party. The part concept was 1920s American jazz era where was the background of The Great Gatsby. This party was international party, which is there were many foreigners. It was soooo fun. I danced all night. It was also hot night after the party🤭 I had a negotiation about my annual salary with my bosses.
My resentment about overwork and my company was growing. So I had expected salary to suggest to my company. Maybe I suggested too high amount money to my bosses. They started talking back about my inability with offensive feeling. You know, sometimes you talk about someone’s flaws to let them down. I have done many good jobs too, but my bosses mentioned only about bad sides about me. It’s my fault that I work at small business company that hardly pays good amount of money. I should have studied hard when I was young. 😂 However, my bosses told me good hard truth that can hardly refute. One of my bosses questioned me, “People don’t pay you at the amount of how hard you work and how many difficulties you have gone through. People pay you at the amount of how much you get profits” It’s true that I emphasized how hard I had worked. At that moment, I realized it’s meaningless how hard I work. Working to get profits is the most important thing. So you don’t need to work hard. You can work comfortably or hard at least you can earn profits. Another boss also pointed out I didn’t perform well for my role. I’ve changed my job last year. I used to be an exhibition planner who creates contents. But, my now job is an account executive, which is to promote sales with managing cost. I might be good at creating contents, but I know I didn’t perform at my now job. I think I forgot my now role, which made me feel more difficult. Even though they said facts, it still hurts. Who likes to be criticized..😅 I feel like I need to be better for my job. At the same time, I feel weak. I’m starting to justify my inability, and want to give up. Thinking like, “ Yes, I’m not good. I might not be better for my job anyway. I might be useless for the company. So why should I try hard?” I also feel sad that they didn’t recognize my good performance. I’m thinking, ‘Was I that bad??😅’ When you feel too burden and hard, that means you are not on the right path. I know I also have things I’m good at and my strength. I don’t let their words down me. I’ll just use their good comments about me for better. I had a bit of pain on my right side of lower stomach for a long time.
I think i knew what it would be subconsciously, but didn’t want to check because i was afraid if my instinct would be right. I went to see doctor at gynecology, and heard a shocking result, which is i had a big lump on my right side of ovary. So sad. I haven’t married and given a birth. I’m a bit scared if I’m not able to get pregnant. It seems like i got punished not being pregnant at this age as a woman. Am i being punished by nature because i don’t do what I’m supposed to do as a female? Because it’s against the course of nature? It’s time to focus on my health. If there is a problem, then fix it. Not too worried about it. No regret about my past and decision. I wasn’t that interested in relationship and marriage because of my insecurity about my skin and body as a woman. Deep down i felt no men would like me because i have bad skin and very small breasts. That’s why i had neglected socializing people and relationship. I have lack of social skil because of that mindset. It was okay until you’re early 30’s. However, as getting older, your youth and beauty get lost and your cycle of relationship also gets narrow. It’s okay when you’re alone when you’re young. But don’t forget you will get old, and people don’t pay attention on old people. It’s just how humans and society work. We need to accept it. I chose that lifestyle. So i don’t regret about it. If i would go back to past, i would do the same thing. Insecurity is so powerful. It’s unavoidable that i have a bad skin since i was 10 years old. It’s genetic. My breasts size also genetic. I was just a very insecure person. That’s why i chose that lifestyle. So i can’t regret about it. I’ll do my best on finding my life partner. At least, I’ll try at my best. I don’t lose my hope getting pregnant and giving a birth. I’m taking care of my health. To someone who read this article, especially female fellows, please consider your health and social skill important. Your work and career is not that important. We need to accept and embrace our feminity as a female in the universe. If you want to get married and give a birth, you need to focus more on that in the early age. When you take a good care of your body and social skill, you will get more benefits from people and society, and live happier life. I've published an e-book! The book is about the mental health when you're unemployed. I wrote this book 4 years ago when I had a difficulty time to finding a job and losing my life purpose. I forgot this manuscript for a while after I got back to my life. People these days are obsessed with increasing the number of financial pipelines for the financial freedom. Publishing e-books is one of this pipelines. That's why my manuscript 4 years ago came into my mind. Therefore, I rewrote the unfinished manuscript, and ended up publishing it. I think the theme of my e-book is relatable to many people these days. Only one person(a friend of mine) bought my book so far.😅 But, we will see😉 I'm 34 years old. And not married yet. To be honest, I don't have a big desire of getting marriage. But, I have this thought that you have to get married because most people do that. As getting older, I realize that people have stereotypes about people who don't get married. Even though you decide not to get married, people would judge you have some problems anyway. And you don't have common to talk about when you meet people. That also makes me not connected with most people in my age. That sucks, to be honest. This is not the only one reason I want to get married. Life seems like very mundane when you are alone. (someone might think this "mundane" is peaceful). When you are with someone, your life would be much more colorful and variety. I have experienced many things in my life so far. Even things most people hardly do. Now I feel quite mundane and bored after these experiences. To me, getting married and having a family is the last thing I haven't done in my life. I have a this life philosophy; Do experience everything. Regardless of things most people do or things most people hardly do. I want to experience everything when I'm alive. I want to enjoy everything. My dad has made me join a match making company😂 All parents want their children to meet their life partner and have a safe family. This might be they are worried their children after they pass away in the future. When you are young, the world seems always in your side. However, you will realize the world gets dangerous and not that kind as getting older. That's why people need others to survive. That's why people make a family for the safe place. Since my dad has made me join a match making company, I've also started the marriage project. I will do my best to get a match making. I will join many dating meetings and clubs to meet people. I know I'll meet my life partner and have a family eventually. That just requires many efforts and time, because that is worthy. He went back to America. It was blessing meeting him and spending time together. I mentally depended on him a lot. I could feel how to love and be loved. He was wise and considerate man. I feel grateful to know him. Just hoping he can live his life fully as he wants. I'm so sad, but I feel like I can live my life thanks to his energy and love. Thank you, Billy❤️ I went to a business trip to Vietnam Hanoi because there was a Korea-Vietnam partnership fair. It was so hot.. It was a hard work because I made a trouble..😅 However, it went well at the end. I saw the Korean president!! I didn't do much in Vietnam to enjoy the local life since it's only 3 days business trip. Short and intense time in Vietnam! I went to a business trip to Boston in the USA for BIO 2023 show. It was so hard during the show time. I cried almost everyday because I was so exhausted physically and mentally. At the same time, it was so fun! My colleagues and I had nice dinners almost everyday after the work. I also could visit Harvard University! Boston = Harvard University (for travelers) It was dynamic trip as well. Because I missed the flight.. My boss spent too much time to shopping at the Boston airport😅 We walked all around the airport to solve the problem. We could get a direct flight to Incheon, but our baggage remained at Detroit since we missed the flight to Detroit.. Anyway, the Incheon airport sent our baggage to home. It was such a dynamic and fulfilling business trip in many ways until the end. Samcheok is on the east coast of the Korean peninsula. My mom loves Samcheok. She often goes to there to have her own time. One day, she suggested me to go to there together. It's been 5 years since I went there before. I asked my mom why she likes Samcheok. She replied there is no reason why she likes the place. Yeah, you don't need reason when you like something. You just like it. I fell in love Samcheok like my mom had fallen. It's so peaceful and gentle sea. Especially, breeze of May with soft beam of spring sunlight smoothly wrapped us up. It was a great time with my mom at her loved place. I went to 🏵️Han river Canola Flower Festival🏵️ I wore a fusion style Hanbok for the festival. The scenery and weather was so beautiful. I was a little bit mad because of him, but we reconciled each other. A child blew water drop toward me, which made the scenery much more beautiful and dreamy. 🌼🌻🌼 |
