Weather or not...

I should be working on my multitude of projects at the moment but I don’t care, I felt like putting together a quick blog piece.

Even growing up in Chicago, a place famous for its quick climate changes, I have to admit today’s weather in Seoul is pretty interesting. So far I have witnessed: cloudy skies, a brief sunny sky, thunder, lightning, hail, rain and a bit of snow. All in one day no less. It piqued my curiosity as to how all of that could have happened in such a short period of time so I started searching the internet. Then I realized,

“Hey, you’re at work, you shouldn’t be searching the internet for random bits of useless information”.

After getting off the internet and starting to work again, I realized I was still thinking about my weather conundrum. So I decided to write this blog entry. Now I’m thinking,

“Hey, you’re at work, you shouldn’t be….”

Damn it >.<

PS3 me

Yep, I should be getting my brand-spankin’ new Playstation 3 in the mail within the next two weeks or so. If it wasn’t for work keeping me busy lately, I’d probably be even more excited than I am. The total expenses including the system, games, cords, random accessories and shipping should be about $1200 in total. While that might sound kind of steep to most (it really isn’t), I’m pretty sure it will pay for itself within a few months or so. Once I get my hands on it, I’ll post some pictures of it for people to drool over.

Now that writing about one of the more exciting things going on for me is over (yes, I know, whatever), I can elaborate on more of the details of my mundane life…

Work has been pretty hectic lately. Not so much in the sense of staying late, but rather the amount of stuff I do while I am there. I am usually juggling 3 or 4 projects at once along with a series of other smaller side things all while trying to learn another side of our business. The programs I’m using are pretty interesting and the level of expectation from me is getting pretty high. I guess I’m pretty happy I finally have a job that challenges me somewhat.

I also set a date for my brother’s trip out to visit me. He should be here for about 3 weeks or so from mid-July or so and I’m looking forward to him coming out here again. Though it might be the last time I get to see him for 3-5 years, I’m really proud of him finally taking some initiative to change his own life’s direction and join the Navy. While I’m not sure where he will be stationed, it would be pretty cool if he could get out to Korea once in a while. Either way, I’m sure we will enjoy the 3 short weeks he is here. Prepare yourself bro.

Other than all of this, I really don’t have anything else going on lately. I hope to post some pictures and videos on here soon for people to enjoy. Perhaps I will over the weekend when I have more time.

Off to the gym with me…

I'm a boring person/official adult

It’s funny how less often I am making blog entries lately.

It’s not because I am too lazy or too busy (I am a bit of both), but mostly because I have almost nothing interesting to update on. As most people have pointed out to me, “All you do is talk about work”, and I must agree. Unfortunately, the path I have chosen for myself career-wise leaves me with little options as far as doing other things. I know, I know, I have the weekends and after work time, right? Well, I have no excuse on the weekend tip, but as far as after work is over, I mostly just eat dinner and go to the gym. Rinse, Repeat.

I’m looking into how I can change my rather mundane life into something more fun while still keeping the responsibility part intact and it is proving to be difficult. I hope to start doing more on the weekends than just meet friends and carouse around town. I want to turn this blog into a bit more than just work updates and boorish musings and start posting more often on cultural issues and other more interesting topics. I guess we’ll see what time permits…

As far as recent happenings, I had a pretty decent birthday party and got to hang out with most of people I wanted to. We started off at a Brazilian restaurant/buffet then went to drink at a bar in Itaewon. I got a really nice wallet from Jayce and Dave gave me a ham sandwich without the bread, so it was mostly just ham. I guess things have been rough for him lately. Other than the b-day, nothing really exciting has happened. It’s been mostly work, going to the gym, and downloading anime. I did go over to the girlfriend’s house and have dinner with the parents which is always fun. I got to eat a delicious meal and then stayed the night. My girlfriend’s parents are two of the nicest people on the planet, I really have to say.

Oh, and I bought a computer desk and chair. Excitement.
So I guess this is my crappy update. I’m looking at going to an art exhibit with the girl this weekend so maybe I can take a few pictures and have something more interesting to post.

Look for Korean and Japanese posts within this coming week (hopefully).
