A hundred and thirteen...

The weather in this city seems to be getting hotter and hotter every week. It makes for lack of motivation if you want to go grocery shopping or jogging, or even a few steps to the mail box. A few days ago, our air conditioner's fan broke and needed to be fixed, so there was some money flying out the window. I'm hoping this heat wave doesn't keep up for too long. After August, summer should be coming to an end, so maybe we'll be getting better weather soon.

In other news, I've gone and completely reorganized my room so that it doesn't look like things explode every time someone walks in. I can finally proudly tell my parents that I have a white carpeted floor and there are no obstructions trying to get to my desk. Buying a new bed and throwing out my old high school toy bunk bed helped a lot. Because along with throwing out the old bed, I also emptied a lot hidden shoe boxes full of unneeded crap and pitched all of that as well. Following, I went through my entire wardrobe and probably got rid of fifty percent of it-- you know those clothes and outfits you WISH you could still wear from a few years back, but haven't worn since the first time you tried it on?

Things are changing around here now, so hopefully I can keep up this better habit of making my bed every day after I get up and keeping things organized. My next task will be to tackle the closet full of old college notes, textbooks and a lot more random crap. I even have plans to reorganize our kitchen drawers-- but that's for a while later on.

And then, maybe I can even learn how to be more social with people I normally don't hang out with. Since my two closest friends are no longer "right down the street and around the corner", I've been spending more than enough time sitting around at home and trying to come up with things to do. Granted, I'm really, really good at finding things to do on my own, I kind of miss going out to eat and haven't even tasted expensive dining since I last visited my friend in Georgia in March. However, my work schedule is also going through some changes, so even if I wanted to go out to eat, it's not going to be an easy task.

I guess you can't always win, right? Wanting more hours just means I socialize less. Wanting to socialize more would require sacrificing hours, which means giving up the chance to make money. Decisions... Decisions...

Right now, I think my big thing is saving money. After dropping a good sum for a couple items around the house, like a new bed and fixing broken appliances, I'm starting to feel the lash of needing to have a savings account.

Anyway... happy heated weather. Maybe it'll storm sometime and bring the heat down. It'd be nice if it rained for a couple days straight and actually be cooler instead of making things more humid.

Yea, it really doesn't stop...

Yea, don't go there unless you're ABSOLUTELY interested. But it's a new chapter and well, the post says everything. Have fun! But don't say I didn't give warning.

A rather bland update

In case anyone at all (reader population unknown, but probably less than a 2-digit number) cares to know, I've been chugging along this boring and monotonous life like I'm going to live forever. Every day is another "I can do that tomorrow" day and so I spend endless hours reading books, watching movies, and listening to music.

I've recently picked up a passion for Korean drama. I had been interested in the K-drama arena for a long time, but nothing had ever really enticed me to do anything but consider watching; then my parents picked up their passion for Korean drama and it gave me more of an interest.

And then I watched a particular one called You're Beautiful and despite the extravagant and overdone costuming and make-up of the cast members, I was hooked. I'm a sucker for romantic-comedies after all, and I've always liked the old fashion "girl crossdressing as boy" plot line. Throw in a few good-looking men, some really catchy music, and the next thing you know, I'm a fan of the Korean entertainment industry.

Now I'm a follower of Korean drama and have found myself a whole new band to stalk on the internet. I've always been a follower of different Asian music artists, so this isn't too big of a surprise. Of course, I'm still a bit choosy about what I watch-- Korea has always had a trend set for tragic story lines and I'm an avid supporter of happy endings. So hopefully I don't run into anything that be too depressing.

Of course, I must say, Korean actors are seriously good at their crying scenes. You really just feel for them and can't help but to shed a few tears as well. Even IF you're a heartless soul of cold stone like myself. :D

Anyway, aside from being a lazy couch potato at home, I've been working and working and working. And then I've decided that I want to diversify myself by being adept at many different languages. Since I'm already bilingual and I have a better affinity for Asian languages anyway, I'm going to start with Korean and Japanese with a side of learning how to read and write Chinese characters (something I should have started a long, long, long time ago. Later, I'll consider something new, like maybe French or even Russian. And I'll also have to brush up on the Spanish that I had learned throughout highschool because even after five straight years of learning the language, I think the extent of my conversational Spanish is pretty much asking where I can find the bathroom.
