Money bug and Boston trip

Auntie keeps assuring me that the money bug is staying put with her. Everytime she opens the sliding door it appears. So things are looking good.

Boston trip was fabulous. I went to the Fogg museum, the Science Museum, The Peabody museum and of course the Museum of Fine Arts.

Plus we had some fabulous meals, went sailing one afternoon and were on the swan boat.

Friday - arriving and dinner at China town - watched Gendarme à New York but fell asleep before finishing the movie.

Saturday - Fogg art museum, Lunch, Sailing, Profiterol and Cappucino then an excellent 3 course meal at this tiny Bistro -but this was the Restaurent week so they had special menu.

Sunday - Had breakfast with Alan then explored on my own. Went through Prudential, Boyleston shopping mall. Then to the Science Museum where they display real human bodies http://www.mos.org/bodyworlds This was very interesting and not as scary as I thougt.

Jenny and Alan had 20 + guests for BBQ feast. Then Jenny had to work and I finished the Portuguese Irregular Verbs. It was very funny.

Monday - Went for "American in Paris" exibit at the Museum of fine arts then off to Peabody museum for Pictures from Pusan during the Korean War. Since this museum was connected to the Natural History Museum I got to see the Glass Flowers as well. Went to Korean Galbi dinner at Koreana.

Tuesday came back to Montreal with Jenny and Wednes day a.m. I had another interview. Thursday - we, Jenny, Rosalba and I have found Eva - who we've been looking for last 3 years. It's been a productive week.

Visiting Jenny - in my dream + Dahn Goon history

In my dream, I was visiting Jenny. It was somewhere I was supposed to dress up - like a fancy party. I am also supposed to pack a swim suit because there's a facility where we could go for a swim. This is a recurring dream - about some of us going for a swim. I even remember this place where there's a 3 layers of swimming pools that I have seen in my other previous dreams.

I am just making sure I packed all the right things and also making sure I'm not an embarrassment because of my slowness. I guess that's been my concern all my life trying to catch up but never being able to.

In my life - in the awake state, I got this book as a gift from the Dahn Yoga place. In it, it talks about the ancient Korean history and how important it is for us to learn that history since as the story of Abraham and Isaac, Kain and Abel, Adam and Eve, it is critical for us to understand the history/myth of that life correctly as the philosophical and moral back bone of our lives.

I only know that my maternal great-grand father was the last head of the original Korean religion called Dae Jong Gyo (The great religion). The book was about the root of our history and religion of the Korean people. It was inspiring, made much sense. However I'm not too convinced that having 100 million people practicing Dan Hak will really bring about the all harmonious world. Then again it may not be about fixing the world but rather awakening and providing opportunities for those people to make a difference.

But I am certainly glad to find that what my great-grand father was teaching is on the revival after 2000 years of sleep and oblivion.

More dreams

I had a dream that Aunt and I are moving into a house that needs a lot of work but thankfully the guys - who are renting it to us are willing to fix it to our specification.

I also had a dream where I'm folding papers next to Bill Gates. He and I are doing the same task of folding papers. And this other guy is telling me that I can have my own Black Berry device - and I'm thinking, I haven't been hired and they want me to have a device already?

I also had this recurring theme in one of my other dreams - where I know I have a university degree but somehow I ended up back in high school and although it is something I already learned I'm having a hard time adjusting and relearning. This time finally someone is telling me that I no longer have to re-learn since I already graduated and have a higher education.

This was a busy morning.

More dreams

I had two interesting dreams lately. One was that I received a gift of jewelry - bracelet with Amethyst in the middle like an eye then some colorless -chrystals on either side. I took it but wasn't sure If this meant more pay back. In my dream I wondered if this was a good thing or not.

Another dream was that there's a warning that there's a racoon on the loose who is destroying the pumpkin leaves. I saw that he was devouring them but what I was seeing was a giant orange pumpkin that is hung and I was to protect it from the racoon.

Both seem like a good omen - jewels and giant orange pumpkin.

Back to sabbatical

I'm done with a task that took 54 hours to complete - it was estimated to be about 16 hours would be enough. In general, it took about 3 hours per month so I don't feel I was a slug.

Sorting/attaching to the right statements/entering in the computer.

Now I'm waiting to hear from this nice company and applied to another tech place a good friend of mine gave me the lead for. Also this Anthony Hopkins look-alike person called me - from England. He was visiting his parents so it took a while for him to call me. He sounds good and we'll meet next week some time.

The temperature shot down and I wonder if this is the beginning of the end of the summer -- sigh. I want to go to see Jenny in Boston.

Heck I need to study for my driving theory test next week.

Work and Play

As I have been somewhat working and looking into going back to work full time, I wonder what I've been doing with all of my free time.

Auntie's being the super human as usual. In fact, she sent me and mom summer shirts and excercise pants. She tells me that she's seen money bugs in numerous occasions and it should be a good luck sign for me. I believe her.

I went to St-Lazarre and spent the afternoon meditating by the pool side. It was just fabulous.

Another wonderful summer weekend is over and a few more in store. Must plan carefully.
