Internet & Korean Spa

I have this love and hate about the internet. I am kind of appreciate the era when there is no www and no .com.; at least for me I was more creative and have more thoughts about my life because there is basically nothing else to do. people are more devoted to their passion. that's how masters were born. they spend their lifes on doing 1 thing, 1 thing only without knowing another. too much information actually makes people think too much, clouds their minds. everyone is genious about 1 thing and most people couldn't even figure out what that is now.
however, i love that i can just express myself truly and honestly with strangers' feedback and criticism but feel safe about my privacy. so why not just write something on a dairy book that no one can see...the funny thing is thank to the great internet, everyone becomes information thirsty and eventyally an attention whore.

it's been a fulfill weekend...went to Korean spa for the first time in my life. to experience their famous body scrub that actually scrub your dead skin off. the Korean ladies would scrub you throughly. when you lay on the bed completely naked, they ask you to flip your self like a piece of dead meat. face up, side way, face down...without any emotion. I don't know if i should consider them being professional or just numb from what they do. when they open your legs and work on the crutches, i seriously felt so embarrased and convinced myself that our bodies are just skins and flesh. otherwise, i couldn't admit this was an amazing experience.
i guess i accomplished my plan to go to korean spa, and have a social topic with my coworker for the following week. you can't imagine how nosy people are when their lives are bored and want to depend on other's to spice their own, but only when other's lives are interesting and even better if dramatic. i mean, who wants a boring life?

SoCal life

A sunny afternoon in mid July, Jen and I came to Alamitos Bay, Long Beach to kayak for the first time. It was an extremely pleasant experience with nice breezy weather, friendly staffs at the rental and beautiful houses along the bay. There is this canal reminds me of Venice but in California style. At the moment, I understand why people all over the world want to come here..., this is the essence of the socal life that people are looking for.

Santa Monica Hike

I haven't been hiking FOREVER!!! Lately the weather was getting warmer so I also decided to wake up from the hibernation...
Thereof, I ended up going to the famous Santa Monica trails. After asked BB and LC to join me, we went on a Saturday morning. It was hazy... which is nice because there's no shades along the trail and we would probably get serious sun burn. The whole trail took about an hour and half. A lot of yellow wild flowers that make the paths very beautiful. We also saw the ocean from the top of the hill. Surprisingly at the end of the trail there is a ruin of a wealthy man's house, a small nice waterfall and a creek followed us back to the parking lot. I will definitely explore more of the trails around LA area.
