Loc Box

Unlike most weekends, I've locked myself away in my apartment and I've slowly been trying to rid myself of this damned cold that won't seem to go away. After several bottles of orange juice, sitting on laying on the heated floor for two days and a box of Korean Meds (including some bags of stuff the pharmacy gave me that tastes like pure nasty), I'm finally starting to feel better.

It seems several of my friends treked off to Seoul for the weekend. I opted to skip flight club Sat. because I wanted to stay out of the cold air as much as possible.

I haven't had much entertainment other than some random TV and anime I've downloaded to the computer, so it's been pretty boring.


I honestly think I'm going to be very lowkey the rest of this month. I want to see how much money i can keep from spending and possibly hold on to. My goal is to hold onto 75,000-100,000 won (you can go do the exchange rate to see how much it is. . . www.xe.com) before my next check. If i can do that for the next few months, I hope to have some to blow on myself for my birthday.

I hate that I have to send so much damned money home each month. It wouldn't be so bad with exchange rate. . . BUT i can at least look on the bright side and say that it has started to show signs of going back up. I must admit that I'm a bit jealous of my friends who have disposable income and are taking this winter break to go travel. I honestly can't see how some of them afford it. I keep forgetting I'm on average 4-5 years older than most of the people i know here. Many are a year or two removed from college and they haven't done some of the stupid stuff I have done (oh credit cards. . . I hate you. it won't be much longer now until I will nuke you in a firely blaze of hell. . . the joy, oh the joy). Reguardless, I'm having to be extra careful about my spending and I will have to find other ways to entertain myself. I really need to find something constructive to do to keep myself preoccupited.

Either way, it all equals up to no trips to Japan (sigh) in the near future. I promised myself that if I was good for the next few months, I'll reward myself for my birthday at the end of March. It all will depend on just how much I want to reward myself. Japan or PS3 (yes, it's that damn serious to me. I miss my gaming habits damn it!!!)
