pooh sticks

korean wedding - this is the first time ive seen strobe lights at a wedding! awesome! but after the white dress and black tux part they have "pyebaek" which is the traditional ceremony. the husband and wife come decked out in the traditional gear! its sooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous! then they pour i guess soju or something like that for each of the parents. then the husband's parents throw jujube beans and chestnuts to the husband and wife who have a fabric that they are to catch the nuts in. the chestnuts are baby girls and the jujubes are baby boys. so traditional thought, is that the amount of nuts you catch represent the children you will have. suzy and her husband...i only know him as space man.....um, they caught 7 chestnuts. hahaha his parents were not so happy. then her parents gave an envelope of money. and then i guess, i missed this part suzy and space man take some kind of nut...um, i dont remember, maybe chestnut and they both bite it and pull away - like a turkey bone - whats the name of that? you break it and the bigger piece gets good luck?!? oh man....anyways, whoever gets the seed in the nut they get the envelop with the money. wow. im sorry. english is my second language.
anyways, it was awesome! such a beautiful ceremony. and i just love the pictures i have seen :)

also interesting suzy and her family are very strong catholics and space man's parents are strong buddhists. so the ceremony was nonreligious. interesting. i think. so really i think this was my first nonchristian wedding. yeah i really think so. i know aunt gwen got married by the justice of the peace but i didnt go to that. it was a cool experience. and i just adore vivi and q so anytime with them is a blast - and insik and inhay. cool people.


at field day today one thing i had to do besides dance on command with anyone and everyone, but also they made a big circle of all the parents and they had to make one of those huge balls go around and around the circle. then they put a person in this circle and they have to try and hit you with the ball. so i ran as the parents tried to knock me down with a giant ball. how much fun is that. :)

and one of the guys working field day said that i am dancing queen- mama mia. i dance like the actress in that movie. so i guess i have to see that. im always intrigued when people tell me i look like someone. sometimes it makes sense. cameron diaz. i am come on. im hot. hahaha really what i meant is that i have a really big mouth, especially when i laugh. she does too. ok. then my boss said i look like the chick from wicker park. ive never seen it. but apparently i look like her. or maybe i just have brown hair and i sling my bag over my shoulder. i dont know. haha.



so Vivi asks me this riddle - you have a monkey, a snake and a bird. you need to get these 3 animals and yourself out to this bisland. how would you do it? don't be serious, and you can take each animal at a time. just use your imagination. think it in your head, and when your ready scroll down.
(sorry if my explanation is not very good.)












well, i said i would have the bird fly me to the island. then i would put the snake in my pocket and swim over. and the monkey i would put on my back.


each animal represents a part of your life. so the bird are your children, or future children. then the snake is money. and the monkey is your future or current spouse.
its really interesting to hear peoples responses and then what the animals mean. vivi put a rope around the monkey and dragged it to the island to make sure it didn't escape. hahaha...suzy had the snake around her neck to swim to the island. just thought provoking, i think. please share your results. :)
