The Life and Times of Dosim

Hey y’all. So as I mentioned in my previous post, when I first got to Korea I lived in a place called Dosim (pronounced ‘Doh-shim’). Now, Dosim is a nice area and actually has some quite beautiful views. Take a look here (please note that these pictures aren’t necessarily the most beautiful ones possible!): Dosim…

Insa-dong, Samcheong-dong and lots-of-fun

Greetings friends! So as you know, this blog is going to be part-reflection and part-present tense daily report weblog journal thing (official title). Because I have such a backlog of images, videos and  high-def memories, methinks the next few posts will be catching up on the start of my time here, before segueing into the…

My First Days in Korea

Okay, so… There’s a lot to catch up on. When I first got to Korea on Feb 28th this year, it was a very different place to how it is now. Firstly, it was freezing. Like so cold it hurts your face and makes you cry freezing (or maybe that’s just me…). Also, I came…

I Did It!

Today I conquered a fear of mine I have had for a long time. I played piano in front of an audience! And they loved me! Okay, so the back story goes like this: I started taking piano lessons when I was 15, by no means an old age but relatively late compared to many…

Hello hello friends! How are you all going? Well, I hope! I want to re-introduce you to the new and improved Misc. Bliss.

Despite the title of this post, I’m not talking about Facebook, or the film, although I think both are brilliantly entertaining. I’m talking about the importance of being around people, even when we don’t feel like we need to. Even when we feel like we would rather not, and that we hate the world and…

Day 7 without chocolate, cake or biscuits.

And it’s haaard. It has been so miserable in Melbourne recently, cold, rainy and blustery. Perfect chocolate-munching weather. But no! After a few ridiculous blowouts involving donuts, cake and many, many cookies, I have tested myself to see if I can go for 10 days without my favourite sweet treats. Just to get back on…

Working on work

I had an interview yesterday for a position as a recruitment consultant. I went to a few careers fairs about two weeks ago, and decided that I needed to get my butt moving. I can’t go travelling when I have very few dollars left after spending on my car and my extravagant lifestyle. So, I…

Getting closer

Another day, another daydream. And so my life continues. I have been feeling a little flat today, a little lost. Wondering where my life is going to take me. And all this wondering makes me tired, so I wind up doing nothing. Not too great for the economy, that’s for sure. I found out today…

43 degrees

Beautiful Melbourne, you are full of surprises. One day, cold and windy, the next boiling and sweaty. You always keep us on our toes. Thanks to you, we are ready for anything! In a late-night conversation last night, my idea of becoming a writer was solidified. Talking to my BF, we put two and two…
