This is me fellow Jupiterian from cell to this form. I am aware that there is no life in Jupiter for those that do not see. However this is not my problem.
Lost
I lost my debit card, oh that sucked so bad. I was lucky enough that it was mailed to me from the states. My very good mate sent me some cash to eat something because I had no cash. Arrrrrgggggh... I had maybe $2 in cash so yeah It was just honestly depressing.
I thought, I was lost finding on an out, but I might have a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shot in getting something towards the right direction.
So fingers crossed.....
....BUT WHAT IF I FAIL, I DON'T KNOW HOW I MADE IT THIS FAR...
SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA.....
“Rent Money - Nope
Research Money for Bugs- Nope
Food Money- I mean like Bread and Coffee.... SHIT I AM HUNGRY FOR MY COMPANY”
“...SHIT....No Rent Money, No Food but company recognition.... Sure, I got this...
I CANNOT BE HOMELESS IN KOREA.... Are there any social programs for Americans that are two seconds from having their asses dished out to them!! #KimchiDiplomacy
”
Found
So funny enough this week, I got lots of positive messages from so many different outlets on the importance of staying and moving forward. My article on Libya was popular on Linkedin. I wish you could find fear and toss it to an ocean, in my case...The Pacific Ocean.
My old classmate told me of some funding from Queen Mary, I will try my luck
“For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge from me to you:
I have sarcrificed so much..
I don’t have a place to go back to
I don’t have anything to fall back on...
..... I am honestly every version of that acronym(NO THAT’S NOT WHAT THE WORD MEANS... BUT JUST LET ME BE GREAT)”
Cared for……
KIMCHI 아줌마 (AJUMMA)
So, there are three ladies at the grocery store across from me. We speak kimchi, no English or Korean here. I am grateful for just how they make sure I get my Kimchi and encourage me to try different Kimchi. They always smile and look forward to interacting with me. I am grateful because I worked retail and after the sale, no one needs to be that kind.
THE BOYS, PASTA & KORCAINE
“Respect Word Play....”
These young guys cook real Italian. They enjoy traveling and use to stay in Australia. They are always so warm and kind to me. They always give extra something or a deep discount. I am grateful that they always make sure to interact and laugh with me.
“Man may survive on Coffee alone”
The Coffee Market
I will take another picture later, it is pouring....
The Coffee Market is a café by my area that I use as my office. The staff always greets me as soon as I walk in. I am grateful because now I can order coffee and drinks in Korean.
Arthritis
I was diagnosed at 16 with juvenile arthritis. So far, I would like to say ... I am kicking that ass. However, during colder days or when I am very stressed... I am in pain… that shit hurts.
Some mornings depending on my stress levels or the weather, I must stay in the shower just a bit longer with hot water on my poor hip bone and short leg.
“.......A SHORT LEG?? LIKE YOUR LEGS ARE ......”
So those that know me well, will tell you one leg is longer than the other leg. The shorter leg and that hip bone can be so painful (Water Therapy one day!!).
My father and my pediatrician told me that everyone has one extremity longer than the other. I think they were trying to make me feel better.
…..Eeeeemmmm, I mean one leg is shorter than the other. You can not spin that mennnnn.
My pediatrician was really unique in her own way, I mean she just really had this way of making me understand my body was mine and I needed to take good care of it. She would ask about my grades, school and everything. I will speak of her more often on Public Health Wednesdays.
“Do you know my siblings and my dad made fun of my short leg?
I mean it was not funny.... Actually it was funny…. I always start laughing when it comes up... ”
My way of dealing with this from teen to now:
Fresh Foods (I DO NOT EAT JUNK or MAMMALS)
No smoking or drinking.
In the states, my routiine included:
Gym
Weights
Sauna
Steam room
Whole Foods and The Farmer's Market
Here in Seoul, I walk at minimum 5 miles a week to 15 miles a week. I drink at least 1.5 liters of water everyday or every other.
I hate the words, I suffer from (disease/illness). It is such a terrible thing to say to someone. We LIVE with....
“I also worked in Public Health for close to a decade, I am very particular on ILLNESS. WELLNESS is all that matters.... I in llness means I... but WE in llness MEANS we are in this together. ”
So
I live with Arthritis, and I sleep on the floor because it is heated. I am grateful for heated floors
I hope so....See you next Friday Ramblings
