Am I an electronic fanatic?

Okay, I'm gonna finally admit that I'm almost to the point of obsession with electronics. I'm so tempted to buy every little electronic gadgets I see. I remember when I was on my way to Korea and I had to go through security check at the airport. I was the only one that was there the longest, being that I had the most electronics. I overheard one of the security guards ask the other guard why I was still being held at the check point, he said "because we have to scan through all of her electronics"...haha..the other guy looked at me and smiled firmly....Hey what can I say, I majored in electronics communication.

Well here are the gadgets (1G flash disk and multi-card reader) I bought in Korea so far. The disk costed me 14,000 won= $13 and the card reader costed me 24,000 won =$20.

The price fluctuates in USD because of the exchange rate. I really want to buy myself a mini-laptop too (the one I have recently crashed), but I can't at the moment. I think saving money for a trip out of the country seems a bit more important than buying a mini-laptop.

The precious/simple things in life....

Some things I enjoy most about life:
1. Listening to GREAT music.
2. Eating DELICIOUS food with GOOD company.
3. Learning new things.
4. Sleeping

Currently listening to: Leona Leona Lewis (Better in time).
Currently eating: Cheese Cake
Learning: New vocabularies..ie. Embezzlement: The fraudulent appropriation of property by a person to whom it has been intrusted. ex: Johnny was involved in an embezzlement in late January of 2007.

Acceptance.....

3 months have passed and the excitement is gone. I've finally come to accept that Korea is my home and it will continue to be for the next 9 months. Before I came to Korea, I told my friend that a year will fly by so quickly I wouldn't even know it. It's true! Fall is already almost over! I see Christmas decorations already. Next thing I know it'll be spring, then May will arrive (I look forward to May the most), then summer, then back to Home I go!

BTW Happy Pepero day! One of my students gave me a Pepero today and I thought it was just a random act of niceness, but then I saw everyone's status on facebook about Pepero so I looked it up. I guess now I know why she gave me the Pepero. And on the subway today, I saw the cutest handmade Pepero heart. (numerous boxes of Pepero taped together to create a 3-D heart shape). If you want to know what a Pepero is, wikipedia it right below.



Pepero Day!

Comedians are ....FUCKED

Here is something I read from an article on CNN.com

A dialogue between Larry King and Bill Maher.

"King: You recently issued one of your new rules decreeing that Obama must give comedians something to work with. Any suggestions?

Maher: No. It's very difficult. We have been spoiled, first with Bill Clinton and then George Bush. And here's a president now who -- he's not stupid. He's not angry. He's not a phony. He's not fat. He's not cheating on his wife.

Who needs a jerk like that around for the next four years? Come on.

(LAUGHTER)

But look, he's going to be the president and we're going to have to get over our nervousness about making fun of a black person. He's not a black person. He's the president."

I guess maybe someone might get lucky enough to get a glimpse of President Obama digging his nose and then they could all pretend that they found something justifiable enough to ridicule the status of his presidency.

OBAMA...

So the decision has been made by the citizens of America and we picked Barrack Obama to be our president for the next four years. Earlier today I read an article online about his victory and I came across a comment.




The comment

"There is one important bullet item missing from this article... continuing to keep this country safe from terrorists. Say what you want about Bush, but this country has been safe because of his policies. I do not feel safe with the new regime. Mark my words, we will be tested and it will be sooner then later."

Despite my respect and beliefs for president Obama, I actually concur with this comment. I fear that, president Obama's diplomacy maybe or will be taken advantaged of. I am giving him a chance, and although there are many issues to resolve, I hope he keeps his promises and "Change we can." At the same time, I hope he does not focus too much on our country's deficit and neglects our safety.

VOTE Day!

So today is vote day and I VOTED. My dad claims himself to be a Republican so last election he voted for Bush. As an ignorant child, I also voted fro Bush because my dad brainwashed me. I was very ignorant about who I voted for and I voted for the sake of voting (but I presumed my vote didn't count anyways.).

This election is different, I'm educated about the political world and who the candidates are. I'm not voting for Obama because he's a minority, I'm voting for him because I only have two choices. I don't want the war to continue nor do I want another Bush to run the country, thus that's why I'm voting for Obama. At the same time, I like many of the possible solutions Obama has to offer to America. I'm not categorizing myself as a republican or democrat, but simply a humane liberal. However; hypothetically speaking, even if I wasn't to vote, we all know that California is a democratic state. Therefore, even if I don't vote---in theory, which has been consistently proven,---- California will nonetheless still go to the Democratic.

Can you guess...the world of innovation
