Week 50: Blue Blossom: Masked!

In South Korea on April 22, 2009 at 5:27 am

What shall you call me? “Yellow Dust Super Woman” “Blue-Bibled Wonder Woman”…tried to think of a fun, funky name…Mom: what do you say? Your good at word play.

********The reason for the mask: every Spring time (especially April) yellow dust sweeps over from China to South Korea. Yellow dust is pollution, dust, dirt, and a whole lot of nastiness that blows over into South Korea by way of the winds. Many people fall ill during this time. I’ve found that while the mask does not protect me from getting sick or make me ‘better,’ it definitely protects from the pollen and yellow dust and the air pollutants. For a week straight I was sneezing right and left; as soon as my alias “Blue Blossom: masked!” came out, the sneezes stopped.********

The title is actually clever (reflexion of the author lol j/k kk ^^); the title has a double meaning. Many flix are from Cherry Blossom Street that is simply stunning for about 10 days in April. Additionally, my middle name ‘Hoa’ means ‘Blossom’ in Vietnamese. dats-mehoa-in-koreaphoebe-hoa-4The blossoms aren’t masked, but this gal is ^^
