Typhoon Kompasu and Other Things

Typhoon Kompasu

At around 4am, I can hear a lot rattling coming from the windows.

Typhoon Kompasu has arrived. The name is based on the Japanese pronunciation of compass.

News from all the major networks had things to say and what to do in this situation.

This wasn’t a typical typhoon. Most of these typhoons hit Japan and Seoul would be struck with a lot of rain. This typhoon went right across the center of Korean penninsula and the wind was simply massive.

I really thought the windows were going to shatter and was looking to take care of my family’s safety.

Yes, there was rain, but the winds were up there.

I saw the windows shake out in the veranda and saw the screen door slide side to side as if some supernatural being or force of nature wanted to play with them.

I saw trees shake and saw pieces of debris falling from the top of the apartments. It was quite incredible.

In my seven years of living in Korea, I’ve never seen this before. News reports say this was the first powerful typhoon to hit Seoul in 15 years. No wonder I’ve never seen this of typhoon before.

At around 8am, things started to lighten up and the weather more or less cleared.

There was some carnage though as you can see in these photos. Signs were ripped from the buildings, lamp posts were snapped like toothpicks. There’s leaves, glass and other debris strewd all over the streets. It rained in the morning, but it already disappeared.

In the afternoon, the sun came out. Typhoon Kompasu has moved on to the east coast.

Under Pressure (And it’s About Time)

Well it’s time to start posting up the fruit of my labour. I’m not sure how good it looks, but I can’t wait around forever. It’s time to get going and make adjustments as I go. The fear keeps poking me into stopping in my tracks, but I know I have to get through this.

Visualizations – Day 7

One week passed and I’ve lost a lot of steam and momentum. I seriously need to re-evaluate my goals now since I’m more pre-occupied with other things. I know that a set time must be made at all costs. During that period of time, I need to see what I’m trying to accomplish and take the steps of putting things into action.

More importantly, I need to be a lot more clear on my objectives. I’ll be posting up those new goals and objectives in the goals page. I’ll be writing these goals on a piece of paper and reading them at the alloted time I’ve decided. Hopefully this will put me back on track and I can achieve what I want this month in Septemer.
