Time

15. We Bought a Zoo - just.. no comment

It is so funny how time changes the boundaries we maintain with people and turns it into a comfort zone, a place uninhibited by propriety and good judgment.

On Friendships

Maybe it's because of my all-time favorite singer on replay (which by the way is Nell), I'm feeling rather emotional and nostalgic. I completely miss my friends. I've been in Korea way too long. Relationships change and it's natural-- even more so when you're physically away from them for such a long time. And as shared experiences become less and less, distance inevitably gets to it and messes with it. To connect with someone without enough substance or experience is actually hard-- no matter how close one may be to another. It is just a matter of time. And in that time, people drift because interests shift and we experience yet another "coming of age" independent of each other. And it is as I revisit my old pictures that have captured our once heydays that I seem to remain with nostalgia at the moment. I miss you besties, our dynamic, and our experiences :)

Fall 2010

Man, I tried to show the ones that are inconspicuous of our faces and we get our prime jirar roll right here.

FYI

For the past two months, I've worked. What was supposed to be part-time became a full time with some overtime. I wanted a part-time job for three reasons: 1) so I get myself out and deal with the world, more precisely, obtain a social life, 2) make a little dough (not a lot-- just a little so I don't feel like I'm wasting time), and 3) a part-time job so I can still do all the household duties. Who am I kidding, my husband pretty much takes care of the house. But I still wanted to come back from work in time to cook him dinner. So this "part-time" job was supposed to be perfect, but big mistake. More than the seriously creepy CEO of the company and the shitty $$ I get, the job demands hours-- long, strenuous hours preparing for the hours paid. Not to mention, the unnecessary bs of parent conference. Anyhow, I've never experienced an employer so unorganized, so flimsy, and so willing to bend over backwards for $$$. The more I work for such an employer, the more I realize how attainable a business can be in Korea.

What this "Korean experience" was to me three years ago is no longer the same now. What was so exciting and new, filled with spasms of youth and spirits of "carpe diem," has now become the complete opposite. It is not a bad thing in the sense. It is different-- radically different. I could see a chapter of my life has closed right before my eyes. And I find myself in the next, a bit familiar of my surroundings yet not completely aware of everything going on.  One thing remains though. I'm excited. :)

Movies:

13. Love Fiction: Cheesy as hell. I hated it.

14. I Don't Know How She Does It: Corny but it comments on a niche that is rarely commented. And with the moms I now deal with-- I found this movie amusing.

Books:


3. #$!% My Dad Says- funny and charming (4/1)
