Not every haiku
needs a five, seven, five
structure.

This is a parody song for the Korean bus drivers that I respect so much. I like them because they protect me from the other bad drivers on the road, even if they are one of them. Right makes might as we all know and a bus has a lot of might.Read the lyrics here before you listen to the song.  I will NEVER EVER own a car in Korea as long as the roads are chaotic!

Please be my driver!

Watching, cuz you got me patiently waiting
I think you are amazing driver
It’s okay, you’re worth the wait
But I just can’t take no more
 
Dreaming, of you every night & I’m praying
Will you hold me tight & just wrap those arms
Around me boy, I really wanna feel you in my soul
 
Everytime you look in my eyes, I can feel that ya just wanna say
3 little words, it’s not so impossible, then you start walking away 3
I can’t help it, I’m asking the question, I guess there’s no other way
For you to just tell me right now, so maybe I should say it out loud
 
be my driver
Please be my driver
No, I don’t wanna wonder anymore boy
I gotta hear you say the words, say the words
 
Make me your rider
Cuz I’m going crazy
I want you & I want the world to know that
I’m your rider & I know you feel the same
 
talking, do you hear a word that I’m saying
I’m so tired of playing these games with you
I’m so confused
So will you be my driver
 
Losing my mind while you over there choosing
I don’t wanna ruin this thing we got, like it or not
Whose driver are you wanting to be?
 

I help it, I’m asking the question, I guess there’s no other way
For you to just tell me right now, so maybe I should say it out loud
 
Please be my driver
Please be my driver
No, I don’t wanna wonder anymore boy
I gotta hear you say the words, say the words
 
Make me your lady
Cuz I’m going crazy
I want you & I want the world to know that
I’m your rider & I know you feel the same
 
I can’t help it, when I want it, gotta get it
& it’s you I want,
Maybe it can happen if you let it driver
Cuz I got you on my mind all the time
& when I see you boy, you’re looking fine everytime
If you would make me the only one in your life,
Then I’d be like “SWEET!!!”
& mix a little sugar with the spice
Driver, take a change, romance, roll the dice
What other girl’s gonna ask you something this nice???
 
Please be my driver
Please be my driver
No, I don’t wanna wonder anymore boy
I gotta hear you say the words, say the words
 
Make me your rider
Cuz I’m going crazy
I want you & I want the world to know that
I’m your rider & I know you feel the same

Went to see Chai Sooyoung here at his club in Gangnam.  He rocks (blues) but everyone just sits in their chairs.  Weirdness.  Since I went with someone who has been friends with Chai for over 10 years, we didn't feel weird getting up and dancing.

Proof.

Is that true? Oh wow.
I always learned it was five
seven five only.

~~~

Omg this place
Stop ruining classical
It's not for jingles!

~~~

"How dare you, waygook!
My inner thighs I can show,
But you no look-ee!"

~~~

"I'm so beautiful
Need more of this fashion brand
It makes me happy...?"

~~~

"I deliver food!
My penis is very small
So need to go fast."

~~~

"When things are hectic
I lash out in anger
So nice to be with!"

~~~

"I am a big man
Haha! You eat baby food!
Popcorn at my desk!"

~~~

"Yell, text, yell, chat, yell
Best example for students
Let's do it some more!"

~~~

I never knew it
But badminton is awesome!
Let's go together!

~~~

Whew. I am tired.
Too much sitting at my desk.
Looking forward to

the new semester.
Think this will be my last year
Here in Korealand   :)

Off to find new things
Not just repeat over and
Over and over.

I Don't Know How I
Ever Fed Myself Before
Without Koreans Help


If ONE more Korean tells me I hold my spoon incorrectly, I am going to screeeeam !!!

I GET the whole chopstick thing, but , for real ??? a spoon? I've been eating cereal since kindergarten.  I KNOW how to hold an F - ing spoon. 

Today, my co-teacher told me at lunch , "you eat too much meat. No wonder you are fat. Eat more fruit and vegetables " & then proceed to ask , " You eat the skin on grapes ?!?!? " and then , I had a co-worker tell me I put too much water in my coffee ....  grrrr,

(thanks for letting me vent )
