Dongshin Church English Service Worship Video

http://blog.daum.net/ktmega/14785649

Here's a link to a blog page for the English service here at my church, Dongshin. Don't ask me what "Dongshin" means.. Once on the page, the first 3 videos are of our Pastor, Andy Gilman, who doesn't normally lead worship, but rotates about once a month or so with SJ (SungJin) who is the main leader. Scroll to the 4th video, which is of SJ. You'll be able to see me in the background playing bass. Nate is playing the drums although you can't see him. Enjoy.

The most boring update ever..

So, it IS official. I'll be coming home to Michigan on April Fool's Day, in the afternoon. I need a ride from Detroit though, unfortunately. Whatev..

Nothing new to really tell u guys. I like living here in Korea although some things get on my nerves easily at times. But eh..nothing special to inform you of, so I'll just tell u the boring stuff.

Our schedule changed at work for 2011 so I have 6 or 7 classes a day with 5-minute breaks between. But the good thing is that I get to go home an hour earlier :D

Remember that sketchbook project I told u about? I signed up for a sketchbook tour in which I was sent a small sketchbook to fill up since last June. I actually haven't done much with it. It's a sucky sketchbook, but I already paid the fees and whatnot. grr...anyway, I have to send it out this week so I'm doing a lot of last minute sketches from photos I've taken on my travels in Asia. The theme of the book is "It'll be fun, I swear!" I'll soon post some sketches I've done after I send it out.

Umm...that's pretty much it. Nothing special. Just the usual life. Go to work, come home, watch an episode of "Modern Family" or "Big Bang" maybe, sketch, study Korean, clean (although my gf does most of it now even though I tell her not to, hahaha – she's awesome in so many ways), go to Korean class on saturday, go to the orphanage, hang with friends, update the church bulletin, go to church, play bass guitar for the worship team...and that's it. Not a bad life. God has blessed me to be here and to have experienced all this the past 2 years.

Cya!

A further explanation of what life is like in Korea to the tune of a popular K-Pop song (Wondergirls "Nobody").

Japan vid...finally

Yep, here ya go. But I suggest to watch the high-quality version on my Facebook.

My First Bungee Jump

Cory, his gf JiYun, our attractive friend Jung-ah, and I went up to Andong last Saturday to go bungee jumping and see the annual Mask Festival. I was sooo excited to finally go bungee jumping! When I got up to the top of the crane I was a little nervous but thinking "Man, I can so do this!" When I stepped to the edge, my heart sank looking down. haha. In the vid, you can hear some guys at the top saying to me "54321 JUMP!" but I didn't jump the first time assuming they were going to nudge me off. So I made them count one more time and BOOYA. It was awesome. JiYun is the one filming. She was laughing at me cuz I was "yahoo"-ing and also said "Ji-Gi-Neh-Aeh!" in the air which roughly translates to "that kills!" (in a good way) or like "That's Awesome!".

Who wants to go with me next time?!?!
