Annoying

2015/03/06 / Nic / 11 Comments

We live on a farm, in the middle of nowhere… sometimes annoying me is his only entertainment. I often give a good reaction as well. If you watch our vlogs and see him harassing me I’ll do the “Nooo! Don’t!!” and give him a good response to his teasing. I’ve gone through times where I’ve done the blank face and ignored it (because really I don’t mind that much) but it doesn’t matter if I give a reaction or not, he will still do it. He just genuinely likes annoying me, so I might as well make him laugh by reacting to his antics.

However! His sister has just arrived from Australia, where she was for 2 years. She came home yesterday and already they have been bickering, so I think I don’t have to bear the brunt of his antics now.

Don’t judge him too harshly, I definitely have my hyperactive moments of being super annoying and harassing him. He just doesn’t make comics about it.

I want a cup of tea pretty much all the time so that’s not too hard to guess. It just happened that he had already made me one and was bringing it to me when I called. Good timing!

This is something he does for me a lot. I need a cup of tea in the morning because it’s hard for me to get up (health problems and my body can be quite sore). And because I work for very long stretches at a time on writing and drawing and consume many cups of tea. He has more time so it’s easier for him to be the tea boy. I still need to call him “oppa” so he does it though.

Very Interesting

You don’t have to marry someone who shares all the same interests as you… in fact it’s pretty hard to find someone with the exact interests! We have a lot of things in common but I’m interested in a lot of things he is not interested in and vice versa, so sometimes we have to listen to each other’s tangents.

I like listening to university lectures when I work sometimes and I’m currently listening to a course called ‘Understanding the Human Impact: Life and its Impact’. It’s really interesting to me but Mr Gwon doesn’t always appreciate me talking about the domestication of all the food that is on the table.

Talking to himself

Awww so sweet.

In other news, we are super busy right now. The book is going to be released NEXT MONTH and we still have so much to do. Also my brother and sister are visiting for a week soon so we will be travelling around. There may be less comics and videos this month. Once this hectic time has finished we will go back to a normal schedule.

AKG – What did their friends think about them marrying a foreign woman?

2014/06/20 / Nic / 8 Comments

This is a serious topic, so not exactly a light hearted video. In hindsight I realise how much more accepting my husband’s parents were than his friends. I was welcomed into the family right away but I realise now that some of his friends had reservations. I think people would usually think that it would be the other way around. We get a lot of questions about if the parents will accept, but less about friends. Of course parents have more power but also you can’t underestimate the power of friendships, especially because Koreans have such long and enduring friendships. There have definitely been break ups between Korean men and foreign women that were influenced by friends.

On a more light-hearted note, Han is wearing one of my sweaters for some reason in this video.

Alone for a Day

Some days we talk all day and are joined at the hip all day, but other days we might not see each other that much even though we are in the same house. My desk is upstairs and it’s much warmer up there so I’ll be working or studying there. My husband has to look after the tiny shop his parents have (mostly snacks for students) while they work in the greenhouses. So some days we don’t see each other as much but I know he is nearby. When he went to Seoul for a day nothing was that different, but not having his presence in the house made me so lonely.

Also, sometimes even though we are in the same house we talk on kakao talk to each other, and some people noticed I tweeted at him the other day to come upstairs… hehe

Trying To Work

When you were young, what did you think it would be like to be an adult? I remember thinking I’d be serious all the time and drink wine and eat cheese. The reality of being an adult and being married is quite different to what I thought. I didn’t think I’d be trying to get some work done while my husband tries to get my attention by pretending to be a zombie.

I’m not complaining though.
