Thank you for sharing a lot of photos and stories lately. It's really good to see that you are living at your fullest despite COVIT19 and all. I especially like it when you share your moment with you Dae Ji. His name remind me my old episode -- I once asked my back-then boyfriend, "which animal you'd pick as the one that represents me?" I was hoping to hear "bunny" or "kitty." At least, something like "squirrel" or "racoon." But his answer was, "Dae Ji." I was like "¿What does that mean?" -- I didn't get it right away because I'm not a Korean. I was still hoping to hear some "cute" animal. But then, he said, "Dae Ji means pig." I was soooo disappointed and also regret that I asked such a silly question. In fact, I was pretty mad at him. "Why couldn't you pick something like bunny?" I guess he is just not a type of person who can say something other than what he'd actually pick. But later, I realized Dae Ji isn't too bad. We eat Dae Ji Gogi a lot because we love it. After all, the back-then boyfriend is my current husband. It's been almost 20 years since he said that to me. lol~
