Song of the day: Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop - Landon Pigg

Honestly, I don't have a lot to express at the moment. I'm currently listening to the Landon Pigg album that I bought and the song I'm attached to at the moment is Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop.^^ Hence the title of this blog. I'm a music lover so not a day goes by where I don't listen to music. It soothes and calms me, but also gives me energy when needed. It's the remedy to a downer. It's the uplifting spirit I need on occasion. It's the excitement that puts the bounce in my stride. Without music, my life wouldn't feel complete. Each day, there's a different melody, a different tune to match the mood I'm in. At times, it's music that expresses what I'm feeling and thinking better than I'm able to.

This is a flower at my Korean foster family's house where it opens at night and closes during the day~ I really loved how it looked in the sunlight so I took a few snapshots of it. 

This is a cafe we walked past in Seoul. I simply liked the cozy look of it.

This is called juk - rice porridge.

This is kind of like a Korean pancake. We were preparing them for Seol-nal (Lunar new year).

This is what the set-up looked like for Seol-nal. It's to pay respect to the members who have past away.

This little one is like a second niece if my translation is correct. She was super cute^^

This is ddeok-mandu guk. It's dumpling and rice cake soup which is the traditional food to eat on Seol-nal.

My friend, Cory, and me. He's a college friend who's teaching in China and came to visit Korea for a week. 

Yummy mandu!

He was so excited for the Korean soccer jersey! We found it finally at a Nike store!
