"We all think of ourselves first and foremost..."

This is a quote from a book I'm currently reading, "DeNiro's Game" by Rawi Hage. I packed this book last minute because I imaged it would be hard to get access to English novels in Korea. Recently, I've been thinking... human beings are inherently selfish. I know this for a fact. I mean, we're human beings for crying out loud-- who can blame us?

It's been a while since I've updated this thing. That said, there may be some discrepencies. There are so many things I wanted to write at the TIME things happened but work has been busy lately (start of new semester) and I've been preoccupied with a couple of other things on my plate. For one, I spent this past weekend in the presence of family and friends. On Friday, I had dinner with a friend (free dinner if you go with the "all you can drink wine" option) and then we ended up in a karaoke bar. We both sang our hearts out and then I lost my voice. COMPLETELY. I was unable to speak for 2 days. How ridiculous of me-- hohoho. I should've been more careful because hell, I use my voice all the time at work. My voice is my gem. XP I think I know how the Little Mermaid felt when she sold her voice to Ursula in exchange for a pair of human legs. Haargh.

My harabuhjee on my dad's side is really ill. I went to Incheon to go see him on Saturday morning and realized he does not have too much time left. However, I do believe what Joseph said: "No one dies before his time comes". The old man will not die because he has to see my father one last time before he goes. My father, who is the only son of 8 daughters (well,10 actually but 2 died during infancy), is extra precious to my grandfather. Go figure.

On Sunday, I went to a Korean Church. You know, I don't particularly mind if the service is in Korean but I would rather attend a Gyopo Church. I think that would be best because it would be easier to understand the sermon and....









WHAT THE FUCK.

I just found out that the cleaning lady threw all my textbooks for this semester out in the trash... Must go take care of this... OMFG.
