Literally Voiceless

I found myself posting again in my blog after a long period of idleness. Strange might it seem but there came a point in mylife that I felt not wanting to write anything. I suck at words, honestly for I think I wasn't born to be a writer of words. I even suck at my own language, so how could I possibly be good at writing in my second language anyway? And for my third language? I'm still struggling with it.

Oh, well. I guess in a person's life, specially when one's not getting any younger, times like these would come. A time when you feel like you've said too much and all you just have to do is to shut up. A time also that when you felt you were too fancy and amusingly conceited of the things you see. There would also an occassion or two when you felt you were the smartest of all beings but felt stupid and humiliated by others at the end.

I wonder if this is the start of my mid-life crisis? Tonight, when I feel sick the most because of my useless vocal cords for a week, I am maudering about life in general. Hah, I better sleep now, let's call it the night...

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...
