I haven’t watched a ‘feel-good’ Korean drama for a while, and I think it’s about time to sit back and watch one for good measure. I actually just need to put some more relaxation back in my schedule; although, I have been doing a better job of incorporating some of it back. But there is still a long ways to go to get back on track with a sane and easier lifestyle I once had.

On a side note:
I saw the Dalai Lama yesterday.

The UW conferred upon him the degree of humane letters. Then he received a ceremonial robe of purple and gold to commemorate the occasion. Haha silly. People joked how we needed to get him out of his old USC colors and looked way better in ours. Silly.

There were hundreds of protesters outside. Peaceful of course. They were protesting the recent turmoil of Chinese and Tibetan relations as well as Western media’s alleged skewing of images toward anti-Chinese sentiment. You can look it all up and form your own opinion on the issue, but I’m just glad that the Dalai Lama’s speech was not focused on politics in any way rather focusing on how humans as a mass society can become more compassionate.

His personality? He likes to crack jokes and humbly tells the truth. When confronted with a difficult question, instead of b.s.ing some answer, he simply stated, “I don’t know.” Haha. That caught us all off guard, expecting some type of eloquent response from someone as esteemed as him. But he ‘kept it real’ and I like that. Overall, I’m glad I had the opportunity to attend this convocation.
