Rehtorical Statement!

I would like to say that the blog that I put on yesterday- I should call it an emotional moment really- was just how I was feeling at that moment due to getting another cold and being dead on my feet!!!!




I am happy to say that today I feel much better. Emotionally, I mean. I can't say that I feel better health wise, as I feel as sick as a dog even typing this blog. But, I am okay and know where I am, know what I want and what I am doing.



The answer to each of those questions goes like this: Where am I going? Nowhere.
Know what I want? Nothing. Know what I am doing? Not in a hundred years do I have a bleeding clue........hahaha.




At least I am a realist and I am enjoying knowing exactly how I feel. Anybody feel the same way?



Here is to a good weekend and a healthier throat, nose and head......I know, I am crying like a stuffed turkey........

Just So Fed Up At The Moment

Don't know what I want, where I am going and what to do! That about sums it up at the present.
Blah blah blah blah blah.............
Someone help me out, if they can!!!!!!!!!

Lest We Ever Forget! Shame On Us!

I have been deeply disturbed this weekend to find out that that vast majority of young people from countries all over the world, do not know what "Remembrance Day" is or why it is honoured.

It goes to show us what the schools are not teaching all over the world. It used to be called "Armistice Day" and you know what- it should never ever be forgotten.

For all those heroes that fought for us, gave their lives and every piece of human effort available, to keep us free from the powers that wanted to rule us.

God bless them all and if any of you read this blog and don't know what the day is, please read the following link and look more into depth about the honourable day by doing a Google search.

A Really Funny Act On Britain's Got Talent

There Is A Fairy Tale In Our Midst

I can't say anymore about this fella. Absolutely a fairy tale come true.
A wonderful man with a heart of gold and I am so happy that he has achieved his dream.
He is now a millionaire. He won the competition and Simon signed him to a record deal. His first album sold a million copies!!!

It's Been A While Since My Last Blog

It still amazes me how fast time just passes by sometimes. I think we are all guilty of wanting the time to go forward to either the weekend or some special occassion that we are really looking forward to. My! How time flies by!

I am doing my best to treasure the moments in between those kind of thoughts and not to get carried away with wanting time to pass by too quickly. I want to try and enjoy each and every day to its utmost. That way, I am not wishing my life away or should I say, my time away. Sounds corny, I know, but that is how I feel sometimes.

The last week has flown by. Since the Halloween party at my school and then Sara's party at her house and Fragile and Izabelle coming to see me from Hong Kong, the hours have just been full of activity and good times. So I guess I should start at the Halloween party at my school.

We had a good time. All 3 teachers were dressed up and quite a few of the students. Isaiah and I supplied all the money to pay for the pizzas and other hot snacks for all of the students. We had agreed to do this and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the kids eat and have a good time. We played a few games and generally soaked up the Halloween spirit.

The Koreans themselves don't really celebrate Halloween. It is only the ESL schools and places that are frequented by foreigners that go out of their way to celebrate the festival.

There were parties all over Seoul in different pubs and bars, but overall most of the foreigners did not dress up. I dressed up in a mask and a cape to go to Sara's party at her house, but didn't dress up for anything around my area in the bars and pubs.

The party at Sara's house was really good and it happened to be her birthday as well as Catriona's going-away party, too. Catriona finished a year and is off travelling and then back to Ireland. Sara is done in 4 weeks also.

One of the hardest things about living overseas in this job type, is the amount of people that you have to say goodbye to. It hardens you up, but really never gets any better. A lot of people come for the experience and don't stay that long, really. If they do stay, usually 2 years is the maximum. I am going on my 5th year now. Rob has been here 6 years and Dave 7 plus.

People come and go, but they remain friends. With the Internet, there is no excuse not to keep in touch with anyone nowdays. It is however sometimes sad to see some people go. I always tell them that out paths will cross one day again.....I promise.....I hope. Facebook is a great thing to keep in touch as well as things like this blog and email and other websites.

That is me in that horrible mask, going to Sara's party on the bus!

Enough for this blog. I have posted some pics and will do another blog about the weekend, when Fragile and Izabelle came to visit me from Hong Kong.

Great Commercial

Just Found Out About This Guy From America's Talent Show

This guy is amazing. Brings his own style to classic songs and has such a sweet voice. He is in the final in this video. Check out some of his earlier songs that he performed on the show. Just click on the links on the video.

Halloween Celebrations In Seoul And Other Places

I didn't dress up. Couldn't be arsed to tell you the truth. Plus the fact that I was not going to spend an outrageous amount of money to dress up for one night. I am not a very creative person when it comes to dressing up. So, frig it!!!!

There were some good costumes around though. I didn't get to see too many as I hung out at Hollywood's all weekend and the other places were having fancy-dress parties and such. I was watching football most of the weekend.



I did get a good pic off Facebook though of Gareth down in Ulsan. He is dressed like a woman and makes a bloody good one, I must say. (He is the one in the scarf)hahaha.

He won't even know that I have put the pic on my blog, as he hardly ever checks my blog out. But, if he does.....surprise, Gareth!!!!!!



Watched the Liverpool game last night and it was a very good game, but Liverpool have no creativity up front. Crouch played well and needs to be used more often. A good match, but not a great performance by either side really.

An Oldie But A Goldie!

This video has made the rounds over the last few years, but it is still funny everytime you watch it. Enjoy!!!!!

October Rolls On

October only has about one week left and then we are into November. I can't believe how fast time has flew. It seems like yesterday I was in the Philippines and also Canada, England and Holland. Sometimes, time just seems to fly here in Korea.

It is the end of the semester at my school again; every 9 weeks, we finish and start another one. That means they have to re-enroll, which gets the school worrying about numbers once again. I don't care to tell you the truth.

The business side of it always bugs the shite out of me. I am a teacher, not a businessman. Don't get me wrong, of course I want to have lots of students, but sometimes the smaller schools put pressure on the teachers if their numbers are diminishing

The funny thing is that it is not necessarily the teacher's faults that the students don't re-enroll. There are lots of reasons why the children don't decide to come back; not enough money, graduating to middle-school ( that is a big one), don't have time because of other classes that they attend, such as piano, taekwondo etc.,

I just take it as it comes and carry on as always. One thing the Korean teacher asked me at my school, was if I would teach a high-level TOEFL or TOEIC class and we could enroll as many as 20 students in it. I said okay, I don't mind. I don't care what I teach, I just like teaching.

Big game coming on Sunday for Liverpool. After the shocking defeat to Besiktas, we could do with a win against the league leaders, Arsenal. It will be a test for them as well as us, but I think more of a test for them, as they have not played a good attacking team this season, yet.

Tonight, no real plan. Just go to Hollywood's and watch some football. Oh, I forgot. Guido is having a going away party. I will be going there. He leaves on Monday back to Italy.....too bad. Also, Craig, the coach of our football team is playing at RMT in Itaewon. He plays drums and I am looking forward to seeing him. Should be a fun night, overall. Not going to drink a lot as I play on Sunday and I am looking forward to playing then.

Dear Penis!

This Is Just Unbelievable.................

For Those Of You Who Didn't See The Game

My football team won, 7-0 on Sunday. I scored a goal, Rob scored one and Dave scored one. It was my second game in about 3 months, so I am a bit sore today, but feel great after the runabout and the physical contact.

I am happy to be back playing and the fellas are a nice bunch of lads. We are second in the league now. At the end of the season top two teams get promoted to the first division and bottom two from the first go down. We may get promoted if we carry on playing the way we have done.

Watch the video, if you didn't get to see the game. Especially us here in Korea. We didn't watch it in English.

Back Playing Football

Last weekend, I played my first game since about 3 months ago. I am playing for a team called, 'Geckos.'

Dave started playing a couple of weeks ago and Rob also has played twice for them. So, last weekend we had a game in Bundang, which is where I used to live and Dave still lives. Most of the games will be played there and on the dirt pitches, which are a combination of sand and stone-seriously!

Today however, we are going down to Suwon, which is a little bit further north than Bundang and we are playing on an artificial pitch, which will be very nice. We beat the other team last week, 5-1 and we are playing them again today.

Can't get too cocky, as the score didn't reflect how close the game was until about the last 20 minutes. The other team has some runners and I hope to run a bit more than I did last week. I only played about 40 minutes in total as I was cramping up a bit in the second half and pulled myself off so that I wouldn't be dead the next day.

I think we might be short of players today, but then again maybe not. The team has a nice bunch of fellas on it and everyone doesn't seem so serious, which I like. It is still competitive, though.

The team is run by a Scots fella called Craig. He is about the same age as me and is married to a Korean girl. He plays in a rock band also and is a really cool lad. We all went for a drink after the match last week and I got to know a few of the lads.

One of the lads, Tony, is from London, Ontario, also! Small world. He is about to get married to a Korean girl. He is only young and his family is originally from El Salvador.

Watched the Liverpool game last night and was not impressed with how they played again, but a win is a win and we have bragging rights now until the next derby game.

Also watched the first half of the World Rugby Final, which England lost to South Africa. They put up a good fight, but were not strong enough to hold back the South Africans. Not a try scored in the whole game, although England got one called back. All the points were scored on kicks.

Off to me Rob now and then get the bus from Kangnam to Suwon. Hope we win again. Watch this space for the results.

Can't upload any pics at the moment. Blogger is working on the upload tool, then I can add a couple of pics.
