pocky flavors

Heather blogged her Pocky quiz results at both mom2mom and lively women with a different slant on each site.  And, living in Asia I couldn't resist taking the little blog quiz too. 

I found out that apparently . . .

I am Strawberry Pocky
Your attitude: fresh and sweet
Comforting, yet quirky ... quietly hyper
You always see both sides to everything

I know Pocky is now sold in the States, but it is everywhere here in Taiwan.  My brother loves them--it is something I started taking back home as a gift very early on in my adventures here. 

I don't think I have actually tried strawberry flavored ones (or green tea ones either) before.  I would be more inclined to try the green tea ones before trying the strawberry ones.  Heather, I'll be on the look out for green tea ones here and see if we can hook you up with some.

I might not have had green tea Pocky, but I have had green tea Kit Kats.  And, becuase you asked: yes--they were yummy.

I just can't believe someone makes Green Tea Kit Kats. I'll definitely have to try some! It will probably be at least a decade before they're sold here in the States, probably in a health food store. ;)

I like your Strawberry Pocky description. Would you describe yourself as "quietly hyper." That seems like an oxymoron to me, but a funny one.

You're very blessed to be surrounded by Asian food -- so good for your long-term health!

:) I guess quietly hyper would work--sometimes I don't show alot of excitement outwardly even if I am enjoying life or having fun.

I can be loud and draw attention to myself if I need to (like in the classroom), and I can talk real fast when I get excited. But, I can also stay very low key and in the shadows if the situation is suitable for that.

Ha, green tea...I remember that being in EVERYTHING in Korea! :) I'd try a green tea Kit Kat! I think they had green tea McFlurries? :) Tried them?? I haven't.

So...Pocky flavour...they reckon:
Your attitude: caring and charming
Smooth and silkly... invigorating and natural.
You are like comfort food for the soul.

LOL...thanks for a bit of fun. :)

Green tea Kit Kats? I cannot imagine. It sounds so, ummm....Aisan? I would prolly try it but I love me some chocolate! It couldn't be as good as milk chocolate Kit Kats. It just couldn't!

You Are Flan Pocky
Your attitude: modern and offbeat
East meets west... sweet meets salty.
You're a pro at bringing unusual combos together!

i guess i'm really a mix of East and West.

do they really have flan pocky? what an unexpected flavor!

first day of school Today is my first day of school for the new school year. And, we are actually a week earlier than most other colleges in Taiwan. However, I hear we get a longer winter vacation than most--so, I can't complain! :) The building to the above is where my new office is located. My office is on the 9th floor of this beautiful building. I am so excited. I will share more pics later of the inside and of the view from my office window. Mondays are going to be my longest days. On Mondays, I teach Public Speaking (juniors), Business English Converstaion (freshmen), and Listening Comprehension (juniors in the night school program). Taiwan is a little different than America in the way they structure classes. Here all students of one major take basically the same classes as everyone else with that major at the same time. The students don't get to design their own course plan or select which teachers and times they would like to attend. Moreover, most classes only meet once a week for two hours (instead of the M,W,F one hour or T,Th one and a half hour set up). Some classes (like my Business English Converstaion courses) meets for three hours a week. (I have two Biz Engl courses. One meets one hour on Monday afternoon and two hours on Thursday morning; the other one meets for three hours in a row on Tuesday morning.) See, a little different than in America right? Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. But I won't go into that day. :) Instead, I am off to grab some dan bing and get to my new office to get ready for the new semester!! Have a great Monday!

before the dreams have left my head In the morning when I rise Help me to prioritize All the thoughts that fill my day Before my schedule Tells me that my day is full Before I'm off and on my way I want to praise you I need to praise you Let the first song that I sing Be praises to my God and king Before the curtains part Before my day is starting Before I make up the bed Before the snooze alarm Reminds me that it's morning Before the dreams have left my head I want to praise you I need to praise you Let the first song that I sing Be praises to my God and king I love the music of Sarah Groves. Her lyrics, like those above from a song on her third album, All Right Here, often capture the cry of my heart. Not only do I enjoy her refreshingly honest, poetic lyrics, I like the sound of her music too. I can't wait to get her latest album into my ipod. ;)
