'bangs' and bowling
as you may have guessed, koreans take bowling as seriously as they take everything else.we felt pretty silly today, showing up without our ball-bags, our own bowling shoes, snazzy pants or sleak wrist supporters. but then it was THEIR turn to feel silly when i scored strike after strike (see photo :))... actually, the funny part is that after trent took that picture, i DID score a strike!
that was it tho. i pretty much stink at bowling.
trent got a strike too --- but, it was foot-fowled during his victory dance. pretty funny.
saturday was rainy, but the gentle pitter patter helped me write an article, paint and write a song on my guitar.
saturday night we went with friends dan and angela to a 'dvd bang'... (bang in korean means room)... we watched 'ladder 49' on a huge projector screen slouched in comfy chairs and munching on sun chips. it was grand.
now it's back to a heavy week of teaching. i'm doing an extra adult class (monday and thursday nights, 9-10:30 pm) so they're long days. we're also being observed this week by our boss. sigh.
thanks for tuning in :)

I'm up for a week of teaching after a week off, so it seems like a lot too. I'm also going to be evaluated by the principle this week. I'm not to nervous, but it makes you want to be extra good right? Some minor butterflies. Have a great week.
Hey em and trent!
Weekend looks fab -- I will be blogging about ours right away -- so good to see you with a guitar girl! and LOVE the bowling -- makes me think of the Simpsons episode when Homer scores a perfect game and they let down the giant balloon -- I suck at bowling as well, so don't worry about it, you got enough other talent to not have to worry =)
Have a great week, I'm sure evaluations will go fine, although nerve racking -- no worries right?
Take Care! Remember through it all to take time for youself, and each other.
love, a.
Bowlorama and a great movie - sounds like a great weekend. Sounds like you'll be up for some more 'laxin' at the end of the week!
Work hard, play hard!
that's a nice pic of you and the guitar. you should add it to your picasa web album. oh, wait.
Yes, the guitar saga. Rhonda and I have both tried to learn the guitar on our own, with a chord sheet, but alas .. our fat little short fingers and short bodies just do not do a good job of being able to do justice to the guitar. Too bad. Perhaps if one bought a midget guitar, we might have some chance at it. Anyway, keep at it, Em, I look forward to hearing you play in person and sing us your fabulous songs.
Have a wonderful week.
Love, Auntie D.
Hey Hon!
Who needs fancy shoes and a bag when you've got skill? Glad you had fun in the "bangs". I truly miss them...especially the nori and the jimjim...It's so amazing to read that you're so motivated on the week-ends! Writing songs, articles and painting..wow! Keep livin' it up!
Love ya!

Aw -- the pictures are great. No sighing, though -- I'm sure you will be observed in a positive fashion. Love, K
