In my next lifetime...

I know Fall has arrived in LA when I see the display windows on Rodeo change from Manolo strappy sandals to the latest Christian Louboutin booties. Because how else are you supposed to know that it is officially fall? By the weather? Please. It's sunny and 80 degrees in LA year round. In Seoul however, I officially know it is fall because I just had to purchase my first winter coat and I am wearing Uggs not only as a fashion statement, but because without them my toes are freezing! Who knew Uggs had a purpose other than its cuteness??

Other than that, I officially know its fall here because the whole city has become orange, yellow, red, brown... If you have ever lived in the East coast, you would know exactly what I am talking about. The trees. The green leaves has changed colors into a magnificent array of Autumn colors. Picture to the right: I am posing at KAIST and I get to walk through this beautiful walkway everyday to class. Am I lucky or what??? 

Also with the changing of the season, the Dean of KAIST has sponsored Autumn Festival. We had just completed mid-term week and now celebrations are in order. How can I begin to describe Autumn Fest? The event is from 2-11:30pm where drinking beer (from kegs) and soju (Korean vodka) begins promptly at 2pm. There are endless amount of food and music. For entertainment, there is a talent show, eating contest, sports games and also a concert where a Korean celebrity comes on campus to perform live. The singer was Jung Hoon Kim who is infamous for his charity work in Korea. He mostly sings ballad with occasional soft rock. I wasn't a fan until I saw how great he worked the crowd. Not only are his music catchy, but he was ge

nuinely funny on stage! He would crack jokes with the students, professors and even the Dean. He even got the Dean of KAIST to do a shot of soju with him on stage! It was quite a debacle. 

I have decided in my next lifetime, that I want to return as a rock star. A Britney Spears (pre-craziness of course) and donate lots of my money to charity, have only 1 successful marriage and become a good role model to teenage girls. But in this lifetime, I must return to reality and finish my portion of the group project for HR strategy. I am currently researching Google and incorporating the companies efficient employee retention into my proposal. So for now, I 

must return to reality in order to obtain my MBA, while hopes of becoming a rock star in my next lifetime. :)
