not all who wanders are lost

listening to: melody mocker album - oag. (orang asia genius)
We travel, initially, to lose ourselves, and we travel, next, to find ourselves. ... It's the epiphany that pretty girls smile the same way all over the world.

throwback: cycling trip to gyeongju in spring.

dear daisy,

in few days, i will be visiting gyeongju again for the third time - each in different season, autumn, spring and this time - summer - in lapse of 6 years. the feeling is very different this time and i'm looking forward for a lush greenery field, gyeongju bread and popsicles.
travel has always been personal to me, to capture vividly dioramas of life and times. and every time it had always been accompanied by great songs as if my life has been like some movies in black and white.
there is no plan this time, just a hotel reservation in the heart of the city - so i can enjoy more of the food, people and the night. a 22-year old friend will accompany me during this trip, pretty much i may need to dress up like a hipster and make fun of ex-es, just like taylor swift's 22. i'm sure, she will be telling me to act my age.

this is not a trip like eat, pray, love - i've never read or watch elizabeth gilbert's but good movies that i'd love should be uplifting, mind blowing, funny, happy and cool themes like fifty first dates.

my life has been very hectic recently with works, errant and breaking my heart into pieces over and over again over stupid things. but what's life without the spices - i've just got to embrace it! (hence wearing braces now - finally, i submitted to my parents' wish for tooth correction).

oh i need to stop now and read students' reports before leaving to work this morning. (had my sleep earlier because most great works are done at night).

i guess this is the time of the year that i need to pull myself together and enjoy what's life has to offer. being at home still the best, and i'm glad to be where i am today - with the beloveds.

love,
myr
