You may have noticed it’s been a few days I haven’t posted much. My nana fell seriously ill suddenly and the outlook did not look good. My father, my sisters and my entire extended family made the trip to Columbia, SC to see the woman who has been our family rock through decades of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Betty Goff was a heck of a lady and in her last days she appeared to be the happiest. From her hospital bed, barely able to talk she told us over an over that ‘we have a beautiful family’ and that she would ’see us again.’ Together we laughed, we cried and we prayed on our own and out loud. Even on her last day Nana was full of life.
We held a memorial which was a true celebration of everything she was. Instead of wearing black, we all wore pink… my Nana’s favorite color. A color she loved so much she wore it on her wedding day. Nana passed away June 28th, 2010… two days shy of celebrating 53 years of being married to my wonderful Papa.
With my Papa, Earl Ray Goff. He is a veteran, a true patriot, a loving husband, father and grandpa!
The Goff family extended. We wore pink to honor our grandmother’s favorite color.
The day of Nana’s memorial I thought it was symbolic to see Columbia’s famed 5 points fountain shooting pink water.

Big hug to my boy Tommy McFly from MIX 107.3 for hooking me and little Goff up with a very private concert with the mesmerizing Coblie Caillat.
Colbie was so cute admitting that she’s still trying to overcome her fear of performing and speaking in front of people. Say what?
Colbie sang fan favorites like Bubbly and Lucky to an intimate group of about 70 people comfortably packed in the Gibson Guitar Showroom downtown on G Street. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon although I officially deserve the ‘Worst Sister in the World’ Award.
Watch: MIX 107.3 Livestream of Colbie’s Show
While everyone was crazy over getting a pic with the singer… my little sis was ga-ga over getting a shot with Coblie’s hot song writing guitarist- Justin.
We nabbed him on his way out. He happily stopped to pose with my speechless, nervous sister. Snap! I got it.
So I thought.
After he walked away… off to the next city perhaps we immediately turned to the digi cam for our ‘picture preview’.
It was then when the unthinkable was apparent. During my sisters ‘moment’ my memory card must have run out.
I am the worst sister ever.
OMG Extras… below check out my WUSA TV report with video of Colbie’s opening song ‘Realize’ and Q & A with Tommy McFly who asked the singer what the tattoos on her arm meant.

One of the most amazing places in the area exists in Centreville Virginia. It’s called ‘Spa World’ and it’s not your average day at the spa. In fact, it’s a full blown Korean sauna known in my mom’s native land as a Jjimjilbang. I ventured there with my little sister Jenny, Colleen who is a high school pal I went to school with in Seoul and Spa World junkie Dannia Hakki. It was a stroll down memory lane (on heated floors) taking me back to my childhood in Korea. Here’s the deal it’s basically a spa filled with a variety of saunas or poultice rooms: Amethyst Gem Room, Red Clay Room, Ice Room, Oak Wood Charcoal Room, Red Clay Ball Room (my favorite, you lay in little balls), Blue Onyx Room and the Salt Room (made of complete salt..ceiling and all).
There are classic spa services too. Manis, Pedis, massages.. but be warned they are the pressure point kind. Jenny and I got foot massages and let me just say I never knew my feet had so many nerves. Intense.
The public bath area (separated by gender) is where I have yet to venture into. Equipped with 5 different types of pools with high powered jets the bottomline you get in with bottom and all. I still can’t bring myself to jump in the bath in the buff. No thanks. I’d rather be eating at the spa’s restaurant. Afterall, the prison inspired suits they gives us come with an elastic waist. It would be such a waste not to get the most out of it. See pictures below along with this instructional video provided by yours truly.
How to make the classic Jjimjilbang Lamb Towel
Jenny, Colleen and Dannia enjoy the red clay ball room
The clay up close- it’s like the Chuck E. Cheese ball pen for adults
The golden key- ok it’s orange but it’s your ticket to everything. At the end of your stay (which could be overnight since it’s open 24 hours) they scan your key for your total. Food, services everything is charged to the key. General day pass is $35.
From the Korean restaurant there- a classic MILKIS!

Riding to brunch with my little sister I told her how our dad, Ren was planning on cooking a chicken with a beer can. Jenny exclaimed “Ang, NO! Don’t let him do it. It’s going ot explode.”
After our brunch date we soon found out it was too late.
That’s one hot chicken.
