Sorry for the lack of a pretty banner this time, but it is 12:30 at night so I'm a little underwhelming in the graphics department at this time. I'm sure I'll think of something.

Anyway, I've been MIA since November now and there are a couple of things I wanted to chat about regarding the future.

+ I was offered a full time job this week by Kespa maintaining their English language site and also aiding the referees in learning English.

However, I will have to decline their kind offer since I have just signed on with my school for a second year. I cannot break contract because that would risk being deported. Also I prefer the stability of a teaching job to the unpredictability of eSports based careers.

+ As I mentioned I have signed on for a second year. I believe this will be my last year in Korea due to my health problems and issues with feeling burnt out and isolated.

Therefore the following is going to happen before January 2011;

~ I will conclude all projects left outstanding.
~ As of January 2011 all fancafes will be closed or reassigned to other people.
~ I will photograph as many events as I feel able to until January 2011.
~ I will continue to be active on TL, but apologize for concluding my on-site photography and reporting.

+ Due to a total lack of communication upon their part and issues with readership/translation I do consider my internship with Fomos to have reached a conclusion. I am saddened by this fact, but neither party is well equipped enough to deal with the language barriers.

+ Now the final issue is;

I am having problems going back. After the longest hiatus I have ever had from attending/photographing/reporting on events in over two years I am feeling anxious about how much I have missed.

So if anyone has any advice for how to find my motivation and get over these nerves - or just any general questions about what on Earth is going on/any other issues then please comment here and I'll do my best to reply.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding and hopefully 2010 will be a healthier year for me. (I've just come out of a severe sinus infection so fingers crossed!)

We love your works and we are thankful for what you did for the e-sport scence
I dont know much about Korea and your situation for any useful input, but i think if you've been living in Korea for such a long time, somehow you have a bond with that place.
Why dont you think of settle down their for good
Is your health problem that serious that you have to comeback no matter what?

uh eh
I'm not sure I understood everything. You had a severe sinus infection (that's Sinusitis yes?) and therefore couldn't make photos & report about the pro gaming scene. For fomos.kr? So are you doing this for yourself now? Then why are you anxious?
Sorry, my English is just terribad.

Still, I hope you get better this year.

Are you going to be a teacher in 2011 even if you leave Korea?

About working for Kespa - working for them doesn't have to mean starting esports career
and also aiding the referees in learning English.

but maybe developing your skills as a teacher? For now it would be kids and esports referees but after some time you would tutor adults?

I look forward to seeing you here That's a good time to visit because the heat has died down a bit by then. I'm planning to go out exploring more once the snow stops. It's so heavy here work was canceled.

I doubt it tbh - in England you really need teaching qualifications to progress into that world as far as I'm aware and I prefer working in retail because it's what I've grown up doing. I really don't want to teach adults because my grammar is awful and I really like teaching kindey (although it is tiring.)

Aside from traumatizing the poor boy and threatening to kick his ass if he didn't study English with Jaedong? Not much ^_~

Sorry to hear about your troubles NeverGG.

Thanks so much for all the work you've put in over the past year.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
