I legit forgot my age

I was wondering if I was 26 or 27 for the longest time in the bathtub, and couldn't even calculate 2015-1988...

When I was 22

I wrote this 5 years ago on my secret Tumblr with my friend Joel that was designed to nourish and express ourinfinite love for summer's in Korea:



"Some Big Ideas
1.  Rain.
     A.  Pictures of washing hair in the rain (소나기).  So much rain that sometimes I wonder if it’s possible to wash hair in the rain haha.  Really…let’s try it.
     B.  This is also related to 소나기 , but I want to see how fast a paper cup fills up in one 소나기 session.  That means we have to be careful of the weather
2.  Birthday.     It will be my 23rd birthday on July 7, 2011 and I always wanted to try a picture of me in a birthday hat holding a plain floating balloon in the mist of people busily walking.  Then the next photo will be me and a friend who also has a birthday hat and a plain floating balloon (probs diff color).  Keep adding one or two more until there are 23 ppl total. Then the last picture I want a cake smashed onto my face. It’ll be the best birthday ever.  Around 16 pictures total~
3. People eating 아이스케이크
      
Korea has so many different types of popcicles: different colors, shapes, wrappers.  I want to have lots of people eating different popcicles.  We need to bring our friends and family :)
4. Same pose, different places.
 
    We can do several of these.  I think it’ll be funny and cute.
5. Monday Missions. 
 
    We are given a theme mission very monday ie. hug 10 random people and take picture each, dance with 10 different people…etc.

Some Small Ideas
There are 104 days in a summer.  But so much to do!
1.  People and their dogs.  For some reason, the dogs end up looking like their owners. Hehe
2.  불꽃노리
3.  The public transportation.  I like people watching.
4.  Recording of 매미…
5.  Pictures of children catching bugs, playing in water..i just love kids, so pure!"

EUROPE

I did it.  I finally did it.  I can finally shut up about it!

I ENTERED EUROPEAN SOIL!

Lame interviewer Sandra interviewing the tired Sandra:

Q: Was Europe everything you had dreamed of?
A: Yes, except for Paris' weather.  I caught a cold the first day in Paris.  Spain had a much more chill feeling and warmer weather than France.  The whole time I was in Europe, I didn't feel like I was there.  Everything looked exactly like I had imagined it to be and the photos.

Q: What was your favorite thing to eat?
A: I loved the open markets in Provence: their truffle cheese, their strawberries, their cured sausages (yumm) and all the "degust"ing was delightful.  I loved Paris' quiche and pain au chocolates.  The best seafood I have ever had in my life was in Spain.  Their sepia and special green sauce were beyond description.

Q: How were the museums?
A: The Louvre sucked: never felt a connection. Musee D'Orsay and Musee de L'Orangerie were my favorite museums.  Didn't go to many museums in Spain.

Q: Anything else you would like to share with us?
A: Still in the astonished phase.  I will keep the warm memories in my hippocampus for now.

Q: Where would you like to go next?
A: Hawaii, Japan, Jejudo

When I’m in writing mode for a novel, I get up at 4 am and work five to six hours. In the afternoon, I run for 10 km or swim 1500 m, or do b...
