A Serious Seoul Update!

* Months 4 and 5 COMBO STYLE

Ok all- I am here to report back on my Seoul monthly update! However, I will be writing on Month 4 (December) and Month 5 (Janunary)

Month 4:

Ok here is the deal, when it was time to wrap up month 4 and talk about it, I was a little too sad to put my feelings out there on the internet. Now that I’m feeling better (yay!) I am able to put down everything that happened that month. So… December was CRAZYYY. The month flew by- I was pumped up for vacation, it never even felt like Christmas. I went away to Boracay with Lauryn. We had an unreal time in the Philippines and I was lucky enough to experience paradise. I was also lucky enough to partake in the following: drinking gallons of booze, eating tons of food, and parties all night. Oh, lets not forget illegal water sports. I met some great people at the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in and also encountered my fair share of delicious men. Coming home was a bit of a disaster, and both Lauryn and I had our fair share of airport flip outs. I came home exhausted and tan- I guess those are two proving traits of an amazing vacation.

Parlay into Month 5:

The next few weeks are when the blues hit… after coming back from such an amazing trip and meeting such great people, Seoul felt… DULL. I wasn’t having fun anymore, I was tired all the time, and not meeting anyone (IE: dudes) I felt lonely and like my routine was getting the best of me. I hid inside all the time and watched episode after episode of Gossip Girl. I also hid from my blog (again, I am sorry) So to distract from these sad feelings I decided to take charge. I joined a gym, I started working out again. This in itself helped immensely. Lauryn and I also started forcing ourselves to go out more and in new places- we have been quite dedicated to taking the city by storm at least 3 times a week. I took a trip outside Seoul to visit Karim and the escape was well worth it (it also made me realize how much I love living in Seoul) To wrap up the month Lauryn and I went ice fishing with some friends. To say I have pushed myself out of my boring routine would be fair. Life is back to being fab- the month flew by.

Now here comes February- Month 6: the shortest month of the year, the pirate booze cruise, lunar new year, v-day, Carnivale, and MY BIRTHDAY. To say I have a serious line up would be an understatement.
