hello!! fans!
yes, i am back from Korea.
I came back to chicago about a week ago, but then i was just home sick(?) and trying to settle down as quickly as possible. I still have jet lag, but it's not too bad now!

Home in Korea, what a relaxing place in the world!!
While i was at home, I was amazed by my mom's cooking. (Gosh! she should be on food network! thank God that I got my cooking talent from her!!)
My bro, Tae-hyuk, always smiling, planning a schedule everyday, who is also on diet, and trying to watch different tv channels than me!! (he likes old style korean dramas, SA-KUK.) Even if we got into several fights(?) over what to watch, i miss him so much!
My dad, a dancing KING, northface lover, and what a great entertainer! I miss him so much too!!! I was in tears sometimes when i saw his back because i really felt that he's getting old these days. What should i do to make him happy? yeh.. a grandchild.. i know... but... oh well.. let's see how God's leading us..hehe~
My mom, as what i wrote just before, she became the BEST COOK in the world! Since she's been working about 30 years straight, she did not have time to be a housewife. But after she retired, now she's enjoying decorating the house and cooking for the family. How sad that joe and I cannot taste her food all the time, so i tried to enjoy her food as MUCH as i could while i was home. yeh.. so guess what.. i gained SO MUCH WEIGHT now. Man~ I'll be having so much time to loose weight..

The main reason why i went home and stayed over a month was because of my mom's health. When i was here in chicago, she told me that she went to the doc to check her health and the doc found out that something is wrong with her stomach. So she went through some tests including ct.. and blah blah.. and they said she still needs another checkup in July and the final result will be coming out in Aug. Yup.. when i heard that, my heart broke, and i was in tears... i was kinda worried about her more because my grandma passed away because of stomach cancer. My dad also told me that mom's loosing weight since she retired. How sad that you live apart from your parents and cannot even go see them when you really miss em... So i decided to use my summer vacation with my family in Korea and go to the hospital with mom in Aug.
Do you want me to tell the result first? She's doing ok now. When we went to see the doc, he told us that mom has something on the stomach which is made of muscle and he said that she does not need to get rid of it because the doc was sure it's not growing or she's born with it. Since it's not big enough to get a surgery, we decided to check her stomach next summer to make sure it's not growing. And if it's growing, then she might need to get a surgery to get rid of it next year. I hope it's not growing though so that she does not have to get a surgery!!!
Yeh.. after i heard that it's not cancer! I was so relieved! Thank God, i was dancing in the street!!! hehehe...
Just need to pray for her health that she's fine completely and also pray for my dad that his health is fine too..
