If you are new to Suwon and looking for voulunteering, please email me!

As you can see, I have uploaded the post volunteering reports after weekly activities. However, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. About 10 volunteers have become really close friends, work at the same place, share different hobbies, fun and dedicate themselves to the cause and this is not seen online.

Don't just leave should you look for some volunteering action in the city of Suwon. Get involved. Reach out.

Thank you.

Sign

Is there such as thing as "sign"? I am not referring to traffic signs but an entity highly suggestive of futuristic/present or past events or antities that one can relate to. I usually do not believe in signs since, well you know, you can not prove them. To me, they are just delusional ideas that a person want realized in real life or it is just a distortion of a reality or a phenomenon.

The reason today's topic is sign is because of what happened an hour ago. As I was biking back to work after lunch at home, I was waiting for the traffic signal at a crosswalk. Then, I was thinking, watching random pedestrians, "What are the odds that I run into someone that I know amidst the crowd in the middle of day?"

Then, I felt something in my pocket and it was my cellphone with a text message from a coworker of mine "Hey, Mr. Oh, what are you doing in the middle of day in this area?" I guess she was on her way back to the office after having lunch with her colleagues. Subsequently, we texted each other.

But, there was another reason why I contemplating what I was thinking. About 2 hours ago, I was surfting on the web and happened to land a blog about Korea. And there, I saw my ex girlfriend's picture. That was my first time since.. hmm.. when was it.. Septeber last year. Apparently, the blogger was this guy that she used to mention while we were together.

We broke up last year and since then have had no contact. No fb stalking, no late night calls or whatever. I have completely disconnected any ties with her. And I always thought that she would be back in the state by now as she said when we were breaking up. And yet, she is still in town and we are only 2 miles away from each other. Of course, since then, we have never talked and never ran into each other and never will. And this made me wonder what the odds are that I run into someone in the middle of the street in the middle of day.

Signs.. are they just a simple and naive intrepretation of a certain phenomenon at your own convinience or it is something that the world is trying to say that you need to do something about what is on your mind?
