Back on Jeju

Sorry for the lack of recent updates! Here's what happened while I failed to blog, in case you are curious:

• Went to Seoul with my mom for a few days (had to postpone this trip due to heavy rain and flooding in Seoul)
• Returned to the island and found that Ludachrysalis had metamorphosed into Bieberfly-ft-Ludachrysalis without my grandma noticing. I discovered it perched on the windowsill singing "Baby, baby, baby, ohhhh..."
• Heimlich was a close second, emerging the following morning.
• The two of them flew away that afternoon, but I like to think they remember where they were born because I kept seeing black swallowtail butterflies in the garden.
• I had pictures on my phone that I wanted to post of Bieberfly and Heimlich climbing onto my finger when they couldn't yet fly BUT I'm an idiot as you will see in a bullet point below. Instead you can look at this website that has pretty pictures of swallowtail butterflies
• Realized my tastes have changed and that I actually like eating eggplant now
• Went to Los Angeles and San Francisco for much too short of a visit
• Highlights:
• Disneyland
• Free Zippos with free engraving at Brew Co (thanks, Sam!)
• Outside Lands with KKN, best weekend evar
• First dinner with family in a long time =), although we were missing our LA relatives =(
•  Low(?)lights:
• 4 doctor's appointments in 1 painful day, resulting in dilated pupils, a new contact lens prescription, clean teeth but half-numb face after 3 fillings, and sore arms after getting blood drawn and 2 vaccinations. I was just putting that student health insurance to work before the end of the academic year.
• Phone screen shattering--dropped it while feeling kinda woozy on that same doctor's appointment day of hell. (Luckily, I've been paying Best Buy $10/month so that I can get a replacement phone in exactly this sort of instance so now I have a brand new Incredible, which I'm not too sad about. The sad part is, though, that all my pictures were saved in the phone memory, not on the SD card and I didn't bother to upload or copy them to my laptop before I gave it to them, so I lost a bunch of stuff, like my butterfly pictures because I'm an idiot.)
• Leaving again.
• Traveled across the Pacific again and got back late last night
• Made kimchi and noodles from scratch today--will post on how to make those soon

This post is sort of long with no visual excitement so I feel the need to post a picture. Here's one I took during Muse at Outside Lands.
