aloha...means goodbye...



About Me


i'm just a fun-loving, easy-going, decent guy...what more can i say?? well, i'm originally from the far east...migrated over to beautiful hawaii, then to not-so beautiful san jose, california. but it's a nice place, if you ask me...
.
ok, more specifically, i was born in sam-chuk, kang-won-do, south korea...then i took a fall exercising and broke my back...i was then sent to hawaii (shriner's hospital) so they could 'fix' me up but no such luck. they (since there weren't a bunch of people involved) decided that it would be better if i'd just stayed in this great country called america. so they put me on adoption. so there...i am a korean adoptee, a KAD, a korean / american and that's about it...you can read about my trip back home to korea in 1999 here...
.
i like to stay active, and try to stay fit by exercising a lot, playing some tennis, some hoops, and pushing around my neighborhood (or the barrios)...i used to do 10K's and other types of road racing but i'm too beat up nowadays to even try it now...
.
cooking is not something that i do so i tend to eat out a lot...mostly korean, japanese, chinese, or good ole american, if you know what i mean...but i enjoy all types of food, i.e., i eat anything and everything...
