Sorry, I just saw this and feel like doing it. Tagged by @ironandrue & @sheydmade for this fun ancestor work mini-survey!

Answer the questions below (as much as you’re comfortable sharing!) and then tag a few other members so we can keep the conversation going.

Questions:

Do you work with, honor, venerate, or worship your ancestors? Do you observe a distinction between these four modes of interaction? I do venerate my ancestors in a way that my spiritual practice centralises honouring and working with them. I honour them by giving them offerings from time to time, and I work with them to be guided on my spiritual path.

Do you communicate with your ancestors as a collective group, recognize them individually, or some combination of both? It's a combination of both. I communicate with my ancestors as a collective group, I also recognise them individually especially the ones who just passed recently (immediate family members).

What things do you do in your ancestor-focused practice (that you are willing to share)? I have an altar dedicated to them. I also pray to them and communicate with them daily. When I have a petition to make, I will offer a libation. I don't worry about immediate ancestors who don't agree with my spiritual practice, as I come from a heavy religious background. Instead, I reached out to ancestors in my heritage, from the oldest religion, who are willing to work with me to guide me on my spiritual path. Working with far-ancient ancestors, I also place some items that symbolise their origins and cultures on my altar, too.

What are some lessons you have learned from your ancestor work? Plenty I'd say. But the most significant ones I'd say is to lean in to the music as it is the oldest language of the world, and my ancestors communicate with music too. So I learn to pay attention to music more when I start to deepen my practice, and understand that a part of trance work starts with getting lost in the music.

💖✨Tagging: @queerkagome (because you're the only online friend I constantly talk to, so I'm curious to know more about your ancestor work, but absolutely no pressure! You don't have to share if you'd rather not!)

The way I am rose repulsed is mostly by really disliking the fact there are real people doing those things.

Like its not just the flirting or whatever alone, but knowing as well its an actual person doing that or multiple. It makes the repulsion so much stronger.

I get the ick when I see tags that are saying how much they find the person attractive or whatever they're talking about. I can look at shipping stuff mostly but when the caption is something like "wish that were me" then I ick because then I'm thinking about the op who's saying that. I flat out avoid reader-insert works because it's entirely about someone's attraction to them and I canttt

So yea. Idk how to end this. but really appreciate the blog 👍

Moving to a completely new city is not easy at all. And even though most Koreans are friendly towards foreigners, there are also bad people out there who would take advantage of your unawareness just to make a quick buck.

Signing a rental lease is a considerably big transaction so before you seal everything off with a signature, it is important to observe your new house closely. In today's post, I'm going to go over 7 most basic things you need to pay attention to when it comes to picking out your new home. Let's see what those 7 things are, shall we?

____________________

1. Check to see if the drains smell.

If the drains, especially those in the bathroom, smell badly, it means the drainpipes are too old and the debris has already piled up too much to resolve in a day or two 😖 My suggestion is to skip this house and move on to another one.

____________________

2. Check to see if there's any insect egg or larva.

Insects, especially cockroaches, enter one's house through the drainpipes so if you see any insect egg or larva, it means the house is more or less infested with those hideous things.

____________________

3. Check to see if there's any mart or convenient store nearby.

If there's no convenient store or mart nearby, or if it takes too long to go from your place to neither of those two (over 10 minutes), then you'd better look for another house.

____________________

4. Rooftop house over semi-basement house.

Both of these two are not the best options, but if you find yourself having no other choice, it is always better to go with rooftop house. Semi-basement houses have bad ventilation, usually grow mold because of the humidity indoor. Semi-basement houses are hot in the weather and mercilessly cold in the winter.

____________________

5. Check to see if the house is well furnished.

University students don't have a lot of money to afford home appliances on their own. So instead of wasting your money 💸 on new stuffs, invest your money in a better furnished house.

____________________

6. Check to see if the water pressure is strong.

Weak water pressure makes everything a struggle. When you go on a room tour, remember to turn on all the faucets (kitchen and bathroom) and flush the water at least once to see if the water pressure is fine.

____________________

7. Make sure you are given all the documents 🧾

Usually, the real estate agency will provide you all the documents you need, including the contract, information of the agency, documents regarding the building (or the land) you will be living in, etc. If the agency or the landlord refuses to give your these documents, it is best to walk away from this deal.

If you are thinking of moving to Korea, the first thing you’ll need to do is find a decent place to live, right? As a foreigner living in Korea, I know the struggle when it comes to finding the perfect home (at the perfect price as well, of course). That’s why today I’m bringing you this HOUSE SEEKING GUIDE of mine.

I’ll be going over how to use applications to find the perfect house that fits your budget, how to read to contract and how to move to your new house with ease.

I don’t exactly come from a well off family so when I first came to Korea, finding a part-time job was one of the first things I did. I didn’t speak much Korean back then so it was a huge challenge for me to find the right part-time job that didn’t require me to speak a lot of Korean.

But yes, I finally found my “dream job” as a motel room cleaner and during my 3-4 months working there, I had seen and heard a lot of things that refuse to leave my memory space.

Today I will be taking you on a ride to my memory land and “expose” the truth behind the life of a part-timer in Korea.
