What is Love

In Korea as a woman who is on the bigger side and happens to be a foreigner we face a lot of issues. 

Mainly about size. 

Today I was actually feeling abnormally perky and wanted to look cute for work. 

So I did my make up nicely and put on my favorite smock dress. 

It's definitely teacher vibes

Needless to say I was feeling myselfffff

But of course working with children they tend to knock you down from your high horse. 

I had one lil ass hat repeat over and over how ugly I looked today and if I got my dress at the "fat store." Now usually smug little ass holes like that I can deal with. I just threatened to tell his home room teacher and Korean teacher and he shaped up.

Then I have one of the bosses kids who likes to come in and chat with me while I'm finishing up my grading and all the other teachers have left. 

He said to me 

"Teacher why are you so fat?"

*** he's actually a big boy himself mind you***

I said (because I actually like this kid), "Because my mom died and because I was sad all the time I felt like eating helped me." 

He then said, "Oh, that's not good."

Then he causally pointed to my new wedding hanbok that got delivered which I'm super jazzed about and asked, "Teacher, what's this?"

I replied, "Oh it's my wedding hanbok."

He then said, "Teacher, is your husband fat too?"

I told him, "No, actually he's much thinner than I am."

((Shows him this picture)) 

"Teacher, he's really skinny."

Me,"I know he is."

I then felt compelled to tell him that it doesn't really matter what you look like or who you are because you can fall in love with someone for who they are. 

Now Kyu is obviously biased and thinks I'm gooooorrrrrgeous hahaha 

and

 I think he's super duper handsome ^^

But I guess the point here is that love is love no matter which way you cut it. Sure I'm not necessarily happy with how big I am but I'm doing things to keep myself healthy and active and I know making changes takes time and effort. 

But that's between me and my scale ^^

I also needed to vent about being called fat so many times today too.

 I'm not used to this. hahaha

 I usually wear tights and a tshirt to work and for once I dress up and get called an ogre. 

Never the less

How was everyone's week? 

Tell me something AMAZING that happened to you <3

I'll go first:

Tomorrow is Friday. What a blessing

2 months later

previously on my blog.....

My last entry was my teary goodbye to South Korea

Coming back home has definitely had its moments...

I've honestly been wanting to write this but I've been struggling with how I want to write this.

I have felt a range of emotions the past 2 months

but the strongest emotion is

confusion.

As I started working this week the time has flown and I just think 

okay, i can do this. 10 more months ... it'll go quickly

but I cant help that I want to go back

I miss Kyu a lot

my insurance

my kids 

and

F O O D!

I want to start doing youtube videos again once I strike a balance with work and free time. 

I did bring back 3 suitcases full of skin care I want to share with you all!

If you have any questions about skin care of living in Korea please feel free to ask! 

Have a good week end!

Week 13

Yay
 I'm finally getting back to some kind of "normal" filming schedule again!

This video is special because it is Kyu and myself!

I hope you all enjoy!!! 

side note:

We addressed a negative comment on a previous video and I want to say that even though in the video we laughed about it, it took me 4 days to find any humor in that comment. 

Truth be told I felt guilty and sad when I read that comment because if you know Kyu and I we are pretty easy going and I was pretty bummed to think someone thought I was mistreating my boyfriend. 

So I dont mean to throw "shade" or seem like I'm dissing that person because what they wrote really did upset me but Kyu just reminded me that no one know our relationship better than us. 

Anyways!

Have a great Sunday Y'all!!!

xoxo
