The Return of the Worm

I'm too engrossed in reading books lately. In two weeks time I've finished reading 4 books and I'm really impressed with it, thinking I've got to read all of those while travelling by subway (It's my ONLY private time nowadays). I like especially the books written by Sophie Kinsella. I like the way she writes and her way of telling silly humorous things~ it gives me a big smile on my face while commuting and I don't care whether some Korean students are looking at me and curious "why is she smiling like that?"-thing on their faces. Anyways, I'm so happy I've got into this reading regime back into my system again for more than four years!

I thought of many things in my life lately because of reading. There was this once like I'd like to make a big change in my life. I work like a dog lately and I never had had the time for myself. And if there are so, like going to the spa or meeting my friends sometime... I feel rather guilty asking Tommy or my mom-in-law to take care of Chloe. My hair needs to be done soon but I can't find the time to do it... I need to shop for some "decent" summer clothes but whenever weekend comes I just get to stay at home and mind about Chloe... Tommy... breakfast... lunch.... dinner... house chores... for Christ's sake~ (Don't career women have a day-off???)

Well well this is my blog and my haven, right? so this is what I mean when I say "Nhemskie's Haven".

I sure hope I'll get what must be done this coming weekends... plus a holiday.

Keeping Right

Have you ever experienced walking on the right side of a sidewalk when suddenly a rushing Korean run into your direction, literally? If you won't give way, you'll just hear that someone muttering something under his breath. Or have you ever had these cases like you were doing " patintero "(pah-tin-teh-roh) with the other person when you are walking? I find this behavior very bothering (sometimes odd and funny) especially when I use the stairways in the subway. Some subway stations have escalors going up installed at the left (e.g. Deokcheon Station). What is surprising is that they even have this sign: I told this to Tommy a few days ago and I just found out from him that they learn walking at the left side of the road in their elementary days. They even have this song that goes lilke this: "People keep to the left and cars to the right. Let's cross the street after looking right and left." So, it must be because of an old convention of walking on the le...

Samsung's AMOLED

Yup. I have a new phone and this is because of Chloe. She knocked out my phone so hard on the bathroom floor that made the monitor useless for two whole days! I went to a near Anycall service center and actually planned to repair it but they said that I had to pay for around 25,000won for a part replacement, I just thought of buying a new one since there are a lot of free phones nowadays and I had used my phone for more than two years. To pay 25k for an old, really full of scratches phone (because of Chloe) is too much for me since sooner or later I also need to replace it. In the end, it turned out not to be a free phone(850,000 won / $690). Tommy bought this phone for me saying that I need a "much, much better phone" because of his daughter...hahaha! and because I've been always using free phones since I came here in Korea (which are NOT really FREE PHONES because of the additional services included in the phone bill for the first few months). So, I resulted picking thi...
