AHA moment and headed back in the right direction!

I had a great week and finally, things feel like they're headed back in the right direction.
I realized this week that it take the right mindset and with a little bit of patience, things will just fall into place.

I'm headed to the 대통령기 (President's tournament) in Yecheon this week. So I'll see you next week with a whole bunch of pictures! =)

Happy Mother's Day!

To 엄마,

I've been thinking for the past hour what I should write here.
But more than big words or a long extravagant post, I think it's better to keep things simple.

Thank you. I love you.

Thank you for everything... from changing my dirty diapers to helping me deal with the difficult days. I love you as much as how far away from home I am right now (which is far). Yep, I'm half-way across the world but it feels like you're with me because you're always there for me.

나실 제 괴로움 다 잊으시고
기를 제 밤낮으로 애쓰는 마음
진자리 마른자리 갈아 뉘시며
손발이 다 닳도록 고생하시네
하늘 아래 그 무엇이 넓다 하리오
어머님의 희생은 가이없어라

어려선 안고 업고 얼려주시고
자라선 문 기대어 기다리는 맘
앓을사 그릇될사 자식 생각에
고우시던 이마 위에 주름이 가득
땅 위에 그 무엇이 높다 하리오
어머님의 정성은 지극하여라

사람의 마음속엔 온가지 소원
어머님의 마음속엔 오직 한가지
아낌없이 일생을 자식 위하여
살과 뼈를 깍아서 바치는 마음
인간의 그 무엇이 거룩하리오


Happy Mother's Day!
I love you very much, 엄마.

Wisdom Tooth and Turkey

STILL...... not much going on here, just the same old which is basically eating, shooting, sleeping, eating again, and shooting some more. And I can't complain!

Three weeks until the next Korean national tournament (YAY!)
And four weeks until I leave for Turkey (OH MY GOSH!)

Good luck to 하늘오빠 in Croatia for the 2nd stage of World Cup. FIGHTING!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jen and Becky this week! Ahhh wish I could be there to celebrate with you guys! =( / =)

The Top Ten Foods That Made Me Gain Weight

oops!

It's Sunday April 26th, and I left my camera at the archery rangeeee today...
But I'll see ya tomorrow with a video.

Hi cousin Barry! Love you! =)

HelloOo!!!

Today is Sunday, April 19 and I haven't made a video.
Why? Well, this week was very very very uneventful. It's the first week back since the Jong Byul tournament so everyone on the team here is taking it "easy" and is only shooting 200 arrows a day. I remember a couple months ago when 200 arrows in one day was a big accomplishment for me. I, on the other hand, have been working very hard at the archery range since I wasn't able to shoot while we were at the tournament. I realized how important it is for me to shoot regularly. Going to the tournament was probably one of the best experiences I've had since I got here but it cost me some valuable shooting time and since Monday, I've been working to get my shooting back to where it was before we left.

So anyway, I'm doing a lot of one-on-one training with the coach here because all of the archers are back in class and actually this week they have midterms.

I really wish I had something more to talk about but there wasn't that much going on! hahaha I'm gonna leave this short and I'll see you next week with a video! =)

전국남여종별선수권대회 (Jong Byul National Tournament)

Wow. I learned so much from the few days spent in Chung Ju at the Jong Byul National Tournament. I got to meet SOOOO many people that I can't even name everyone. Seeing so many people shooting at such a high level was very humbling.

I have so much to say about the tournament... but words can't describe what I'm feeling. It was definitely the greatest thing I've experienced thus far.

I hope my 300+ pictures each speak their thousand words.
