Summer over, School starts!

My summer was quiet but not as peaceful...
Spending summer indoor was relaxing for most part except for being weak and sick. I spent most of my summer home and feeling weak. Excess heat was not helping either. But, the summer is almost gone-although s. calif is baking in heat as I type- and the fall is right around the corner.

I have never felt more resistant to go back to work in my career yet! I am starting my 9th year of teaching career and I am literally burnt out. Maybe a sign that I need to move on and get some fresh air...I gave myself 10 years at erhs, so it may be a good time to start looking for another job soon.

I bought a K-pop CD last week and found a very charming song titiled "다행이다" by a singer named "이 적". I saw him in a k-talk show program few months back and wanted to hear his music. He was fascinating for me and drew my attention, wanting to get to know his musical world. Review? Composition? Typical! Voice? Attractive! Music world? How could I judge it by one song?!

Love and marriage is like a foreign language to me. I don't believe a human could truly love another, esp. men. Maybe that's why I am so amazed that the world is filled with love songs over and over again. Possibly we are pursuing that unattainable fantasy. Perhaps, it's the fantasy come-true for someone like me to have that someone I could love and share along the long road home.

제목: 다행이다
가수: 이 적

그대를 만나고 그대의 머리결을 만질수가 있어서
그대를 만나고 그대와 마주보며 숨을 쉴수 있어서
그대를 안고서 힘이 들면 눈물 흘릴수가 있어서 다행이다
그대라는 아름다운 세상이 여기 있어줘서

거친 바람속에도, 젖은 지붕밑에도 홀로 내팽개쳐져 있지 않다는게
지친 하루 살이와 고된 살아남기가 행여 무의미한 일이 아니라는게
언제나 나의 곁을 지켜주던 그대라는 놀라운 사람때문...이라는 거

그대를 만나고 그대와 나눠 먹을 밥을 지을 수 있어서
그대를 만나고 그대의 저린손을 잡아줄 수 있어서
그대를 안고서 되지않는 위로라도 할 수 있어서 다행이다
그대라는 아름다운 세상이 여기 있어줘서
