Me!

Welcome to my Journal keeping blog!

It is going to be part of my histories and every small things that I do not want to forget about. I do no covet for the expensive women-like-luxurious-thing, that man would think that they pridely offer to their wife, girl friends. W ewomen's mind are with small bits and pieces like stained letters of my girls' mispelled love notes. And even the old university days, my mother made things like clothings for me just for me and would be glad to wear the to make her happy.

After all my direct and incirect experience in human relasionship, family matters, health issues, whid is still deveolping in the side of Doctor's point,I come to realize that life is very important and everybody and everything with life is important.

Unofrtunately this is so much a common sense that this does not tend to be taken seriously. I get to feel it only after several difficult and near death experience in these few years.

This is a chronicle of the things to live through all the difffuculties I am confronting everyday: as a mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, patient for the several specialists in the hopital, a woman on heavy medication, and a woman with a full time time job and living in a very conservative area of South Korea where girls are mentioned as a family memeber in future in-lasws.

But I am not in primistic tribal society. It is normal Korean society if the degree is a bit harder than the place I was born and raised(Seoul) and I am getting more and more uncompfortable with the situation around me becuase I am a mother of one son and and two precious dauhgters and teacher of many future mothers in a ccollege level.

Things here are my struggling to make this life worth for me and for my loving ones. I am not a native Engish speaker but I feel free to wrtie in English because it is the one way to get myself away from rhe people who know me do not like to read Engish blogs at all.

Thrifting

Sal in Already Pretty posted the pro's tips for thrifting. Mine are as follows.
1. I thrift things because it is a good way to experiment new ways of fashion at lower prices. I go to the thrift shop in my city where I can find a lot of $1 items in mountainous height. Even the thrifters ignore the cheap-seemed- to-be-thrown-away things but when I get things on the counter even the storekeeper asks me they are REALLY from that section.


2. Time matters.
Yes, time matters. But every shopping does. Thrifting is compensating becuase you use less money.


3. Thirft sores are just a place away from my everyday work and people. I imgine the previous owners, I imagine how the items would feel when they have second or third chance of their life with me or with sombody else.

4. When I do not have particular things in mind, I look for the colors and fabrics I like first and then check the item throughly drawing pictures of the itme(s)with my other things. Thrifting seems to be less risky if you do not buy certain things just because they are bargains.

Who am I?

I am a middleaged, somewhere around the birth and death, may be near the deathdate, woman and working mom with three kids. I am in a conservative working setting. Other than the mid-life crisis and kids, job and other things, I am fighting for several health concerns, two of them are so serious that the mediccal inurance on the Government partly support my medical bedgets.(Should I thank them at this point?)
