This is Daniel. I was gonna put these pics up on yesterday's post, but my fingertips were bleeding at the end of it. So, now that they've healed, I'll update you.



He had a great day today. My mom spent time with him in the morning and I caught up with him in the afternoon. He wanted to play cards and talk like usual. He was pretty easy to understand today, quite different from the day before yesterday.



He boxed with his little Pooh Bear briefly today. He started laughing so hard he almost choked, so we stopped doing that. He was still awake when I left him at 8:30 tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day like today. Thanks everybody for your prayers.



By the way, Pooh Bear is a little stuffed bear, not our dad. He doesn't get cool nicknames like that.

Konglish - Band

In Korea, a "band" is not something that wraps around packages. It's not a group of musicians. It's not even a rubber band. It's a BAND-AID (insert copyright symbol here)!

It seems that Koreans tend to shorten a lot of words or phrases to be just the beginning of the actual word. Examples would be "otobai" (short for autobiKe), or "one piece" (short for one piece DRESS), or "combi" (short for combiNATION -- that's right, not combo - combi). The thing is, it's not a lazy thing so much. Ok, it's a lazy thing. But American's do it too. Perhaps I'll make "combi" the next Konglish quiz. Because it's not what you think it is.

Konglish Results!

Congratulations to half of you!! To the other half, better luck next time. Toast does, in fact, mean "a breakfast sandwich." Take heart if you got it wrong, some people in Korea don't know what it is either.

Here is a toast stand where you can probably order anything from "Egg Toast" to "Combi Toast" which might include pickles, corn, egg, cheese, ham, onion, and perhaps some seafood. Delicious eh? Be sure to check in tomorrow for the next Konglish Quiz!

Here's a Short Amusing Story For You

I don't know what's worse, the fact that she can't get better than a 50 or that a passing grade is 60.
