I’m telling more about Project Seoul as promised in my previous post:
1. My best friend arranged to take his NCLEX exam in Seoul (when time-zone convenient and non-translatorial challenged, be-Disneyland-ed Hong Kong is the nuclear-threat free option). And I volunteered to accompany him;
2. Premise: Young Koreans are skinny. Ergo: I subject myself to a personal weight loss program, whilst : a) making sure I jog around the yacht club marina with whitest running shoes ever; b) my semi-micro-mini gym shorts matches my sweat band, my tops and the rest of the work-out ensemble;
3. I stand at 5”8, I tip the scale: 74 kg. I digress?
Until now I don’t know why I got myself into this. But then again there are millions of other life-threatening acts I got myself involved with simply because I’m his best friend. Most of them, if not all, remain a mystery why I did so and such. So I guess there’s something wrong with me.
By the way, my Philippine Honor Society-member best friend chose South Korea simply because his board examination top notching brain believes that life is about green roses, jewels in palaces and stairways to heaven.
