A very inspiring story...

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE THE STORM, BUT HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN...

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.

He said he was in a hurry, as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.

I saw him looking at his watch, and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.

The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health; he told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.

He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are'?

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ''She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left. I had goose bumps on my arms and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life'.

True love is neither physical nor romantic.

True love is acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Since I am going back to Korea again and will be gone for another 2 weeks...the best way to spend my "last day" would be with of course two of the most important people in my life...

Morning...spa day with my beshie...out of nowhere she offered to treat me to a day in the spa...not just any spa in the metro but Wensha...sad but true and funny but we are both "spa virgins"...we got a much needed pampering...

After a day in the spa we headed to gateway to spend some quality time with my hon...of course i'd be gone for 2 weeks and that's quite a long time to be separated specially for a new "couple"...good thing he'll be busy with his board exams review...i'll see you soon hon...

Today is rest day...no shooting...so we took advantage of that one day off to explore the shopping center in Seoul...had a li'l shopping...so many shops to choose from...so many items to try on...so many hot salesguy to feast on (hehehe!) yet so little time...

A little trivia about shopping in Seoul...the mall hours are from 10:00am until 5:00am the next day...some of the shopping malls are closed on Mondays...

After shopping we went to CGV Theater in I'Park Mall to attend the premier of the Korean film "The Good, The Bad, The Weird"

Thanks to the kindess of Annie who became our tour guide for the day...

Technically speaking it is our 3rd day here in Korea since we arrived in the evening of July 04...it is suppose to be summer here but strangely we haven't experienced the sun rising yet...

We started working today...shoot started at about 4pm at the ART SERVICE Artcenter Set & Studio where they built a huge set...it's like the Hollywood of South Korea...3 huge film studios in one compound

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to take photos inside the set so in between takes we took advantage of taking photographs outside the studios...

Good thing my left foot is ok now...because tommorow is rest day which means SHOPPING DAY in Seoul...

Also, we were invited to attend the premier night of the Korean film THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD starring Korean actor and 2007 Asian Film Awards Best Actor Kang - Ho Song who is also playing the lead role in the film we are shooting here in Korea.

Annyonghi Jumushipsiyo!
