Your thoughts are engraved in my heart. Your sweet name is etched on my heart forever. Your pure love is deeply embedded in my soul forever. How can I ever let you go? I breathe for you. I live for you. You are my only hope in this world where I feel so lonely and lost. You are the one with whom I want to spend the rest of my life. I love you with all my heart and soul.

I love you more than I can say. You are in my head all day. Until the end of time you are mine. And it comes to show that, no one has ever loved anyone as much I love you.

Korean Table Manner

Dining traditions and utensils vary from country to country, as do notions of etiquette.  Here are some examples of Korean Table Manner.

1.When in the company of elders, take your seat according to social ranking with the youngest or lowest ranked person closest to the door. After the elders pick up their spoons, others can begin to eat. Try to keep pace with elders while eating. It could be considered rude to show that you have finished your meal before elder people have. If at all possible, keep eating a bit until the elders have finished their meal.

2. The spoon and chopsticks should not be held together in one hand. Use the spoon only for rice and soup.

3. For the sake of cleanliness, do not use a used spoon for side dishes.

4. Use an individual plate for your own food when platters arrive for the entire table. Be careful not to make noises when eating and drinking. Avoid knocking your spoon, chopsticks or plates around.

5. Take food within reach and do not stretch your arms out too far.

6. After a meal, return your spoon and chopsticks to the spot where they were placed. Fold the used napkin and put it back on the table.

7. When coughing or sneezing during a meal, turn your head to one side and cover your mouth with a handkerchief as to not bother your neighbors. Nose blowing should be saved for the restroom.

Korean Dinning Etiquette

Dining is a very important part of Korean culture.  People tend to eat with their families or with work colleagues and rarely eat alone.  Due to Korea’s Confucian heritage there are many traditional customs that are still observed when dining. Below is an introduction to table etiquette in Korea.

Although it is always a good idea to observe another country’s customs, travelers in Korea should not feel unduly concerned about dining etiquette.  These days most Koreans are just happy to see foreign visitors taking an interest in their culture, and will not take offense if visitors do not observe all the customs.

In Korean culture, respect for your elders is very important.  Therefore, if you are dining with someone who is older than you, you should wait for them to sit and to start eating, and you should remain at the table until they have finished eating.

When the food arrives, you should first taste the soup or the stew and then try the rice and the side dishes.

imageStews, soups, and meat dishes are often served in a large communal dish rather than individual servings. Koreans believe that sharing food from one bowl makes a relationship closer. Diners can eat directly from the main dish, or serve themselves into the small individual plates provided.

When eating, Koreans are careful not to leave any traces of food on their spoon, and at the end of the meal, the chopsticks and spoon should be returned to their original position.

imageDrinking can be an important part of doing business in Korea.  The tradition is that you should never serve yourself, but someone else should fill your glass. If your fellow diner’s glass is empty, you should refill it, especially if you are drinking with someone older than you.

imageWhen eating in a group in Korea, it is rare to share the bill or ‘go dutch’.  Generally the older member of the group will pay the bill.  Younger diners might try to repay the debt by paying for coffee afterwards.

Love Letter to My Future Husband

Dear Husband,

I don’t want us to be those parents who never act romantic in front of their children. I want our kids to learn how to really love somebody because we lead by example.

So kiss me in the kitchen while I’m pouring cereal, cuddle with me on couch during family movie night, and hold my hand while we shopping.

Let’s show them what true love looks like, so when they find it for themselves they’ll never let it go.

With Love, wife.

35 DAYS LEFT

That day where I can run into your arms and never let go. That day where I can kiss you good morning and good night. That day where I can hear you say “I love you” and melt into your words. That day where I can be in your presence. I cannot wait until that day.

Permalink doctor says long distance isnt healthy.I understand you want us to be more phyiscal but did you know people that actually get through distance tend to have a longer lasting marrige. sure we can’t hug, hold, or kiss each other but it just shows we are stronger then most couples, we’re willing to give up PHYSICAL just to have EMOTIONAL.I’m happier with this way, and if your one of the people that feel the same please “survive” for your LDR. the time will “come” if you BELIEVE!

Diary recap 2012

Tahun ini cepat sekali berlalu.
January terlupakan (tahun baru dirayakan dengan tidur). February menyedihkan karena di tanggal 1, ibu meninggal dunia and no Valentine day. March putus ama “D” pas ultahnya, April to May tried to move on. May, June, July and August are busiest months karena sibuk ngumpulin dokumen dan uang untuk ke Korea. September is the happiest month, bisa jalan-jalan ke korea, ketemu Mr. Kim Jungki dan yang paling special ya ketemu Kim Huioon Oppa, sejak May saya dan oppa hanya sahabat, tapi di 8 September kami resmi jadian and have a first kiss in Busan, lalu punya hape baru yang modelnya sama persis kayak punya oppa “Galaxy nexus” and its first time I have a couple phone. October dilalui dengan penuh cinta, semua hal positive terekam indah di bulan ini. November is my LOVEmber, hari ulang tahunku disyukuri dengan makan nasi timbel bersama dengan teman-teman mess dan mereka sangat sukses nge-bully saya hari itu, dapet kado-kado lucu dari oppa yang tiba agak sedikit terlambat but its really precious. December kali ini menjadi bulan saya sangat ingin cepat lalui karena saya ingin cepat berjumpa dengan oppa di January 2013.

Semoga semua yang saya lakukan di tahun 2012 ini mendapat berkah dari Allah, dan segala kesalahan tidak terulang di tahun depan. I wish I could close this year happily.

Amazing trip In South Korea. Sept 2012. Day 1.

Sebelumnya saya tidak pernah mengira kalau akhirnya saya benar-benar bisa menginjak tanah yang sama dengan Choi Siwon, member Super Junior idola saya. Menghirup udara yang sama dengan Lee Min Ho, Pujaan wanita dihampir seluruh dunia.     Persiapan buat ke Seoul ini lumayan menyita waktu, energi dan uang saya pastinya. Saya harus bolak balik ke rumah boss saya untuk bikin surat keterangan kerja, surat izin, minta undangan teman di Korea, kirim visa ke jakarta, tukar mata uang. Dan yang paling penting adalah tiket. hunting tiket promo ke Korea Januari, karena jadwal kerja baru fix di bulan mei, saya baru tahu kalau jadwal cuti saya di bulan September. dan di bulan mei saya juga beli tiket pulang  pergi dari Jkt - Seoul. Untungnya saya dapet tiket gratis pulang pergi Balikpapan - Jkt. 

Oke, tiket sudah ditangan. Passport sudah bikin, ngumpulin dokumen dari bulan juni dan di proses bulan Agustus. Setelah semuanya komplit akhirnya saya terbang ke Jakarta, lalu ke Seoul ( transit di Kuala Lumpur ). 

Day 1 ( 4 sept 2012 )

Setelah menempuh penerbangan kurang lebih 9 jam ( saya totalin dari jakarta ). Sampai di Korea sekitar 8.30 pagi waktu korea. Turun dari pesawat ada beberapa prosedur yang harus di ikuti, ada 2 kartu kedatangan yang harus diisi. kartu tersebut diisi ketika didalam pesawat isinya kurang lebih menjelaskan apa yang kita bawa, lalu kartu kedua menjelaskan kesehatan, tempat tinggal di korea, keperluan di korea. Kartu pertama diserahkan di post pertama saat tiba di Incheon, kartu kedua diserahkan di pos kedua ( Imigrasi ). Lalu claim bagasi dan keluar. Karena terlalu exited saya lupa membawa koper saya setelah claim bagasi. hahaha… Pas saya keluar dan bertemu Mr. Kim Jungki saya baru ingat kalo koper masih di dalam, akhirnya Mr. Kim minta tolong ke petugas bandara untuk mengambilkan koper saya. Aduh, hampir saja… isi koper itu oleh2 semua, kalo hilang kan saya gak bisa bagi-bagi sesuatu dari Indonesia untuk teman-teman di Korea. 

Mr. Kim selalu bertanya apakah saya lapar, saya jawab iya. Jadi langsung deh di traktir Roti di Paris Baguette Incheon. Selanjutnya saya membeli T-Money Card di GS 25 ( semacam mini market ) di lantai dasar bandara Incheon. T- Money ini berguna untuk membayar ongkos subway dan Bus Selama di Korea yang penting ada isinya seperti pulsa, bisa diisi ulang kalau habis. Perjalanan saya selanjutnya adalah menuju Hongdae station, naik airport railroad selama 45 menit. Tiba di Hongdae Station ( Hongik University Sation ) sekitar jam 10 keluar melalui Exit 3. Lalu dijemput oleh Panda (manager Bibim House) dan menuju Yeonamdong. 

Sampai di Bibim House saya difoto, memperkenalkan diri dan diberi tahu rule selama tinggal di Bibim House. Saya pilih Female dorm dan sekamar dengan 3 cewek malaysia dan 2 cewek swiss. Jam 01.00pm Huioon Oppa datang ke guest house. Saya lapar sekali dan mereka berdua bingung mencari makanan untuk saya, karena hampir semua restoran di Hongdae area banyak yang menjual makanan made of pork. Lucky me, ada resto yang jual makanan dari belut, dan makan siang saya adalah Chu uh tang ( grinded loach soup) semacam sup belut dan nasi, saya suka sekali dengan side dishes nya yaitu Kimchi. 

Sayangnya hari pertama saya di Korea ini cuacanya lagi gak bagus, hujan terus sepanjang hari. Selepas makan kami menuju Deoksoogung palace. dari Hongdae naik subway line 2 berhenti di City Hall station, exit number 11. Hujan masih terus mengguyur Seoul hari itu, tp kami tetap jalan-jalan dan tujuan pertama adalah Deoksoogung Palace. Istana ini terletak di pusat kota Seoul, jadi pas masuk ke dalam komplek istana ini, ya berasa di kelilingi gedung-gedung tinggi. Deoksoogung adalah salah satu dari lima istana utama Dinasti Joseon. Istana ini pernah menjadi kediaman beberapa pemimpin dimasa itu sampai periode penjajahan Jepang. 

Setelah puas berjalan-jalan di komplek Istana ini, kami melanjutkan perjalanan ke gwanghamoon. Saya berjalan dibawah satu payung bersama Huioon Oppa melewati Deosoogung doldam gil. Katanya itu adalah jalan Romantis di Seoul, banyak pasangan yang sengaja melewati jalan ini dan kadang berciuman disini. TT . Tapi saya beruntung karena jalan berdua dengan Oppa. Sementara Mr. Kim jalan sendirian, kasian… kami melewati Seoul National Art Museum tapi hari itu tidak ada exhibition, jadi cuma liat2 doang deh. Hujan makin deras dan kami berlindung di depan gedung King Sejong Museum agak lama, lalu jalan kaki lagi menuju Dongdaemoon melewati Cheonggecheon stream. Kaki saya mulai tidak kuat berjalan, kram. Lalu Mr Kim mengajak kami makan snack di Kyobo Bulliding basement, di food court kami makan Topokki dan gimbab. Enak Bangeet! I love Topokki!

Agak malam kami tiba di Dongdaemoon. Masuk ke Doota shopping mall dan niat membeli jacket ditunda karena harga baju disini mahal, karena disini tempat segala baju, sepatu, tas model terbaru di Korea. Kalau kalian punya banyak uang, gak apa-apa belanja di sini, saya lebih memilih baju bagus yang ada discountnya. hehehe.. setuju? Kaki saya kram gak karu-karuan, naik turun tangga di subway dan jalan muter-muter Seoul seharian buat pemula seperti saya emang gak gampang. Lapar melanda lagi nih, akhirnya kami pergi ke warung makan bawah tanah saya makan “Sun Dubu Jigae” alias sup tahu pedas. Oppa dan Mr Kim makan pork cutlet. Saya benar-benar capek hari pertama ini, sangat butuh istirahat. Sudah tidak kuat berjalan dan Oppa menawarkan naik taksi. Oh Senang sekali sayah. Sampai di Bibim House langsung tepar.
