Hey Vegans, Can We Be Friends?

January 18, 2010 eating out

I knew I shouldn’t have ended my last post practically inviting people to say I’m full of bullshit. A couple of you just couldn’t resists, huh? Lol! But I was pleasantly surprised when Averie mentioned that it was “brave” of me to welcome people to disagree with me. Because I didn’t realize that I had [...]

The Truth about “Truth”

Replenished

January 9, 2010 eating out

Remember when I questioned God why the heck He would design us human beings to require sleep, here on this post? I’m surprised it took so long for me to get it. But I’ve finally found out the answer. The answer is that sleep isn’t just a biological requirement for us humans to function properly. [...]

Call Me “Unni” Again

January 7, 2010 eating out

We Koreans are very strict when it comes to age. The young must show respect to the elder, even if it’s only a couple years of difference. You never, ever call someone older by the name. You talk to them in formal language, and address them according to a certain system of mannerism depending on [...]
