I've been...sort of busy. Sorry for not posting so often. :'(
To be honest, I don't know how my days passed by. It just flew away instantly. My daily schedule usually goes like this:
6:00a : wake upHmm, seems like there aren't a lot of things going around, but seriously, time goes way too fast for me. Sigh. Oh, and I sometimes take a nap because workout gets too tired for me. I guess I get exhausted easily...?
6:30a -8:45a : workout
9:00a - 10:00a : breakfast and wash dishes
10:00a - 10:30a : shower
10:30a - 2:00p : go to acupuncture (it takes about an hour to get to the place)
2:00p - 2:30p : late lunch (if I don't go to acupuncture or eat outside after acupuncture, I eat around 1pm)
2:30p - 5:30p : work on my dad's stuff
5:30p - 6:30p : dinner
6:30p - 7:00p : free time / work
7:00p - 7:40p : dinner for my dad. If he decides to go out to eat, I go with him so he won't be bored..this can be a torture part since I can't eat pretty much anything that he eats)
8:00p - 11:30p : free time / talk with mom / whatever I want to do
Oh yeah, I also do 'extra' exercise besides going to a gym. I get off 1 station (Sinsa Station) earlier than a station (Jamwon Station) I usually get off if I come home during the day. It takes about 20 minutes from Sinsa Station to my house. It takes awhile, but it's actually pretty nice to walk home, and I get to digest a bit as I take a walk (I usually eat lunch with my mom or eat by myself on the way home so I can eat on time)
So, what have I been doing while I was away from blog? I went to winter retreat and went on a day trip with my mom to Kangwon Do area. I went on a winter retreat with church people. We stayed at Rev. Wonyong Kang's house in Gapyung. Half of group arrived around 11am and had games as introduction of retreat. Everyone blew a balloon and we rotated it around so people in a group draw one facial feature of you. Mine turned out......yeah. Hahahah, I won't say anything, but it was awesome to see how everyone sees each other.

(playing first game)
Rest of group started to come in more after 1pm. There were more activities and stuff. One of them was separate into 3 groups and go to 3 different rooms and discuss about 3 topics: relationships, christian life, and young adult ministry. Unnis and I prepared dinner and had a FEAST: kimchi jjigae, sausages, duck, kimchi, veggies, etc. It was so good. I should've controlled my portion, but I couldn't help myself...sigh. (Thank goodness I didn't gain weight)After dinner, we had another activity. Each group had to choose one song and change lyrics. Lyric had to use my nickname (that they made, I won't say it here lol) and couldn't use any English lyrics. We also had to use words that we came up with during last activity. My group ended up talking about how I want relationship...it was really funny. I forgot how the lyrics go, but it was fun :D
We had a communion after this activity. We went outside for about 10 minutes until my mom and one of oppas prepare it, then we came inside with a candle-looking light that oppa gave us at the entrance and finished communion. After communion, it was FREE TIME! Wee!
(You can only get this in military! it's a snack made of rice and has star shaped candy inside)
One of oppas who is a soldier brought bunch of 건빵 (hardtack, it's made of rice and flour, very dried texture) that you can only get in military! You can get this anywhere, but this one seemed so special since you can't find this package outside of military. I tried few and it was pretty delicious :D
We played mafia twice. I was a doctor in first round and a mafia in second round. Man, I SUCK AT MAFIA. sigh. It was past 3am by the time the game was done. One of unnis and I couldn't fall asleep, we ended up sleeping around 4:30am and woke up 2 hours after because alarm kept turning on from friend's phone.
Everyone had cup noodles or toast as their breakfast, but I ate oatmeal with walnut and almonds that I brought with me. Some people tried it, but didn't like it. I guess no one near me likes oatmeal...but it's...good.....for you..
After breakfast, we went to small church near the house and came back to clean the house. Then we headed out to Nami Island because some of us never been there, including myself.
(닭갈비!!! (spicy chicken with vegetables))
We had 닭갈비 (spicy chicken with vegetables) as lunch and walked over to a port to take a boat to cross to Nami Island.
Nami Island is a small island where it got famous after drama 'Winter Sonata,' well, that's how I know of. We pretty much walked about half of the island I think. I got to eat grilled rice cake covered with sweet sauce. It was delicious, but I think it could've been better if the rice cake was grilled (?) a bit more. Hehehe, but it was good overall.
That was the last activity of the retreat! It was fun :D I think I got to learn more about everyone and got a bit closer with them..or is it just my thought? :P
I will talk more about a short day trip with my mom later :)
good night and good morning.
