  • yay! getting started on stuff

    I get distracted easily. Things I've been wanting to address are sorta starting to come together. Like my "environment"

    -i change into "house clothes" rather than "sleeping clothes", if I wanna get stuff done.

    -i bought a new heater so I don't get stuck to the bed & the heated blanket so that I don't have to think about the weather or whatever affecting me

    -i picked up on an old habit of drinking stuff while studying. i went through like 4 big teabags in 2 days

    -i have a bunch of ๊ทค to munch on so that I don't go into a food coma by "refueling" with rice or potstickers.. or actual meals LOL. it's a nice healthy snack. the peanut butter sandwiches i had previously made me sleepy.. lol. i have some bananas here too.

    -i find that i study best when in long periods undistracted. I do my work best when it's quiet but at the same time, I like the feeling/illusion of people around me. weird. but yeah, I guess at night & the morning would be best. We'll see if i wake up and go straight to studying.

    -i focus best when it's quiet but fall asleep too LOL. so, i've been playing kpop in the background speaker system (it's on the floor) so that it's really low.. where I can hum a tune or some lyrics but go back to studying & stay awake. i usually have the need to listen to music loud or at least at a normal sound level but it has distracted me in the past :P . especially if i didn't have a playlist and relied on finding songs through youtube :P . (I'm getting tired of all the songs on my phone though. but i spent a lot of money downloading songs--i actually buy them now. i feel bad cuz it's so cheap & the lyrics come w/ it & stuff).
    -----------

    my English is getting worse :D . if i try to say something fast or even type it, shit goes wrong / fuzzy. I couldn't remember the word "ladle" when they asked me the english word for it at a staff dinner Wednesday night.
    ............

    My issue is having bed gravity + cold luring me into the bedroom. I'm lucky I have a big kitchen that I have a table in. Most people's kitchens can fit just their fridge nd sink.. not much room.. or their washer is in their also.

    ------------

    Basically, I want to finish the Talktomeinkorean.com lessons. It's been over 3 hrs and I haven't even finished level 5 yet -_-;;  the explanations are long but useful. I wanna be familiar with the grammar before my Korean classes in Seoul and here in Taean start again next year. Plus, I can practice on their Harukorean.com website in January with their sentence builders & practice more speaking & stuff.

    ---------------

    Let's see if I can wake up in the morning.

    +I hope that my gas bill doesn't get cut off. I PAID LAST MONTH BUT GOT A NOTICE THAT I DIDN'T. So, i transferred the money for this month's bill. If my gas is cut off, I can always take a shower at the gym and boil hot water with my plug-in hot water boiler till things get sorta out.

    +WHERE'S MY STUFF? I ORDER MY COMPUTER MONITER OVER A WEEK AGO and my stuff from China hasn't arrive yet! ( I bought watches & stuff last month. Only my stopwatches came through :/ ) LOL.

    +I hope my electric bill isn't too high. It's normally like 3 to 7 dollars, depending if i used my laptop a lot. But with my new electric blanket & heater.. I hope it'll only be like 25 bucks at max. 30 would be okay too; I mean, it would be cheaper than my 60 dollar heating bill last year with me still freezing my ass off in the bed or way too hot by lying on the floor. Then again, my space heater was 20 bucks and my blanket was 50 bucks but.. I know I'll be staying in the house a lot this winter.

    +Still debating on where to go for vacation. I don't wanna blow hella money but I wanna go somewhere warm!! If only I could find a magic $300 plane ticket :P . Maybe malaysia? Japan is too expensive & cold. The ticket to Philippines is probably $700USD roundtrip. Hong Kong or Taiwan would be my best bet... I'm still thinking of Hong Kong & Macau cuz I haven't been yet & I saw a ticket for $400. If I see a $350 roundtrip ticket in January or February, I'm snatching it.

    My mom said she'd give me xmas money. ใ…Žใ…Žใ…Ž. I was saying I wanted to go to Hong Kong but the money LOLL. I love my mommy <3. Maybe I can use half of the bday money for the ticket.

    I haven't talked to my dad in a while. Maybe I'll call him around Xmas.
