just three things

1) back in the 80s, korean tibaks apparently studied pinoy tibaks so they could learn how to fight park chung-hee. i met a korean man named saeed recently who is in love with the idea of the philippines having jungles so that the CPP-NPA would have a place to hide. labo.

2) palestinians are very very persistent people. and here, for a particular group of korean writers, they are the cause-of-the-moment. said korean writers are some of the coolest koreans i've met, in that they're not brainwashed into thinking 'corea da best, corea number one' like everyone else in this country. they're a little more critical, and may seem like left-wing bleeding heart liberals because of it. or maybe they really are that.

3) had tequila for the first time last night. (yes, i'm a pathetic late bloomer in that sense. but then, i've always been a straight vodka or dark beer kinda person.) anyway...it ain't all that. i don't see the whole point of it, the so-called thrill or mystique. had 5 or 6 shots and i didn't get drunk at all. just a bit buzzy at the edges. where's the traydor-ness of it all? or is this beginner's luck?
