Filthy... So Dirty

It's that time of year where the sun shines, the flowers bloom and the birds sing. It's spring time again! Yays!  It's my favorite time of the year because I see my plants starting to grow and bloom and I can sit in the sun.  I love sitting in the sun. And the special bonus is hanging out with Papi outside. We go for walks.  It's nice ^.^

During winter I kept Sir Papi-pants indoors to help minimize his asthma attacks (yes cats get asthma... Crazy! I know) 

Now that the weather is warmer I've been letting him outside occasionally.  He loves being outside.  And the first thing he does is run to the dirt lane way and roll around smooshing glorious dirt into his fur.  He literally changes color from all the dirt he's smooshed in. 

Most of his Instagram pics are of him rolling/sitting/lying in dirt.  He loves it that much.

I don't like it so much.  It dries my hands out and I hate dry hands.  Plus all the dirt he drags into the house.  I don't like cleaning.  

But he's happy so I don't stop him, as you can see in my previous blog post.

Expectations vs. Reality

Expectations of life are high.  I have extremely high expectations of my life.  I have yet to reach those expectations... But I shall keep expecting them and then they will become my reality.  That's the dream.

As for Papi cuddles.  I can guarantee you that if I'm sitting on the toilet he's all up there being a smoochie-maroo with his little head bumps and kisses.  I actually look forward to our daily toilet kisses.
It's really hard to describe the kind of feeling you get when you're getting love while on the toilet. 
It's unique and I wouldn't change that little furball for anything!

No! 아니요

No (아니요 - aniyo)  It's probably the first word we all learn.  Would not be surprised if it was my first word and it's a word Papi knows all too well.

But he is this unique little bundle of joy.  He wants his food and will follow me around the house getting under my feet to the point I stand and trip on him all the time. 

But without fail, every single night, I will put his food bowl down... he'll have a sniff and then walk off as if I've given him the most disgusting dinner ever.

Every... single... time..

He will literally almost end my life in the process and then sniff and walk away.

Cats, can't live with them... Can't live without them.

Usually 보통 I Feel The Love 사랑

Having a cat is one the most rewarding things that has ever happened to me.  I am grateful to the moon and back (and then some) that Sir Papi-pants chose me to be his one and only human.  But cats can be just like humans, one minute they're all loved up with you and the next they're done. 

Even though there may be times Papi isn't that interested in me... I know he can't live without me as much I as I can't live without him.

Learning Korean

Bed - Chimdae

As some of you may know, I'm learning Korean.  Why?  You know that feeling you get when it's something your soul just desires.  I get that feeling when I see and hear things Korean.

Right now I'm trying really really really hard to learn how to pronounce and speak Korean.  However, I am terrible!  So bad!  I always forget everything.  I hear it and then 3 seconds later, I've forgotten.

My Songsangnim (선생님 - teacher) asked us the other day how much we remember after a few days.  Most of us admitted we remember barely anything (me, I remember nothing!!!).

Being the bless that she is, she gave us a tip on how to learn.  Revise a word a day. At the end of the week revise those words again and most would've been forgotten ... At the end of the month review all the words again.  And again most words would've been forgotten.

How does this help?  Well, eventually (probably decades later) we will remember those words.  

So, Papi is going to be my remember a word a day.  Let's see how well I do. I'll try to update this as much as possible.

Hello, is this Papi's house?
