Being Pregnant in Korea – Part 2

October 31, 2019October 31, 2019 ninjamoni 1 Comment

If you missed Part 1, read it here! I’m 37 weeks along today! That feels so crazy and I can’t really believe it. On the one hand, I’m so ready to be done being pregnant, but on the other, I’m not completely ready for the baby to come! We just moved into a new apartment […]

Being Pregnant in Korea – Part 1

August 14, 2019October 31, 2019 ninjamoni 1 Comment

So I thought I’d do a little pregnancy update! I’m a week away from entering the third trimester and can hardly believe it. In some ways, it’s gone by quickly, and in others, it feels like it’s been dragging on. I’ve never been pregnant anywhere else, but I can definitely explain what it’s like being […]

What I Read in March 2018

April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 ninjamoni Leave a comment

Wow, it’s already April! My birthday month! I didn’t read as much as I wanted to this past month, but a ton of great Netflix shows have been keeping me busy. My March reading round-up is a mixed bag. I read a graphic novel, a novel translated from its original French, a collection of personal […]

Weird Superstitions that Japanese/Korean People Believe

March 25, 2018March 25, 2018 ninjamoni 4 Comments

I’ve lived in Asia for over 5 years now, and I’ve heard a lot of strange things from Japanese and Korean people. I thought I’d compile them here for your reading pleasure. Some of them are superstitions that many people believe, and others are things that certain people have said to me that the general […]

What I Read in February 2018

March 6, 2018April 5, 2018 ninjamoni 2 Comments

This month, I was busy doing a lot, traveling, working, seeing friends and family, etc. It was the month of Lunar New Year and the Olympics. Also, I started a few books that I just didn’t enjoy, so I ended up only finishing two books in total. I’m still on track with my goal, but […]

The First Year of Marriage – Part 2

October 9, 2016October 19, 2016 ninjamoni Leave a comment

It’s officially been six full months since we got married, and we are still learning a lot about one another. Intercultural marriage is challenging at times, but my husband and I both learn a lot each day, and our lives will never be boring. Even since the three-month mark, a lot has happened, and it’s […]

Adventures at Daecheon Beach

September 8, 2016September 9, 2016 ninjamoni 1 Comment

This past weekend, my husband and I went on a church retreat to Daecheon Beach. It’s about a two hour drive from Daejeon on the west coast of Korea. We went last year, so this is quickly becoming an annual summer trip for us. I’ve been attending an English church (Koreans also attend, and the […]

About this “Loving Anywhere” Business…

June 21, 2016June 21, 2016 ninjamoni 7 Comments

I want to write my honest thoughts about some things I have encountered here in Korea after living in Japan for a total of 3+ years. I am in a somewhat unique situation, so I haven’t found that many people who can relate to me or share my sentiments. These are all things I’ve gathered […]

Making friends in Korea (finally!)

October 10, 2015October 10, 2015 ninjamoni 5 Comments

I am reading a book called Theย Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown about vulnerability, shame, and how to be one’s authentic self (I intend to write a review of it soon, so stay tuned) andย I can’t help but think God always puts the right book in my hands at the right time. At work, I’ve […]

A Korean Family Chuseok

October 5, 2015October 5, 2015 ninjamoni 6 Comments

Junkyu’s friends come over a lot. When I first started dating him, he would let me meet everyone over Skype and it made me feel really included, albeit a bit awkward. Then, when I would visit Korea, we would hang out with his friends and family, and it made me feel even more part of […]
