I Can Regain My Sanity
For the next five glorious days, I will not think about work, not go near the workplace, and just have some time to relax, hang out with friends, and accomplish some agendas on my to-do list since April! X_X;;

Yes, I took some annual leave Thursday, Friday, and Monday to make it a lovely five-day weekend. HOMG. I needed this. I really needed this. Here’s what’s on my agenda for the next few days and for the rest of the month.

Thursday
- Wake up at the ungodly hour of six in the morning.
- Go to SAHS to haunt the band room, play piano, and relive my volunteering/subbing days.
- Meet Elizabeth for lunch.
- Maybe go to Junggye-dong to meet Erin.

Friday
- Sleep in!
- Go to gym with Ubi the DS and play Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations for the third time.
- Meet Mike and swap letters for Final Fantasy III along with hanging out somewhere around Itaewon!

Saturday, Sunday, Monday
- Sleep for like twelve hours each day!
- Meet AJ.
- Work on couple website projects and other Internet agendas.
- Write fic.
- Watch more Rocky and Bullwinkle.
- Play Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, and The World Ends With You.
- Whatever else that I may find to do at the last minute. XD

Google’s New Browser
I tried Chrome. Uhhhhh . . . I think I’ll stick with Firefox, even if FF’s been a pain lately, but I think it’s just my computer. Bah. I’ll kind of sit and wait on Chrome. I love my FF’s plugin and add-ons to give it up entirely, yet.

No, I am not an alcoholic. Seriously. However, these pictures below will indicate I am.

Yes, take-out cocktails in a bag. How . . . classy. Something about this is really incomprehensible. I guess it’s an interesting gimmick, but still, no thanks. I’d rather have mine in a glass at a bar or something. XD However, I guess if someone were to indulge themselves too much in these take-out cocktails or soju or whatever, this is what they will encounter:

Ah, Seoul, in Daehakro (Hyehwa Station area), where else will I find the most amusing and random thing?

Btw, these pictures are to be credited to Erin, who I met for the first time yesterday where we had a blast!

It’s been a bleeping month since Final Fantasy IV DS been released in the states. For the last month, I’ve been asking my dad to do a stake out at the PX on Tuesdays and Thursdays to see if the game would be put out on the shelf. Knowing that the PX is slow, I figured it’d take about three weeks for them to put it out. WRONG. It’s been over a month, and it’s still not out!

Let’s just say that I was finally getting fed up with the PX and decided to ask someone there if the game was even SHIPPED to the PX. Some dude came to answer my question, where a very frustrating conversation ensued.

Me: I just wanted to know if Final Fantasy IV for the DS will come at all.
Dude: *takes me back to the DS shelf* This is what we have.
Me: No, I want to know if the game will ever COME to the PX and be on the shelf.
Dude: This is what we have right now, and we stock on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Me: *thinks — I thought it was Tuesdays and Thursdays . . . * Okay, but will Final Fantasy IV ever be shipped over here?
Dude: *repeats his previous line*
Me: *finally, in Korean* Look, I don’t care about what’s here in front of me, I want to know if you guys even ORDERED the game to come here. It’s already been a month since it’s been released in the states.
Dude: Blahblahblahblah.
Me: I know you guys have a list somewhere that shows what games has been ordered. Can I just see that please?
Dude: The list?
Me: Yes. The list that SHOWS what games is due to arrive here.
Dude: *goes and brings back the list where the game in question was shipped out on July 22 at the bottom of the list*
Me: THAT ONE. *points*
Dude: Oh, Final Fantasy IV, let me go ask the stock room.
Me: *waits*
Dude: *comes back and says something about August 15* (I’m guessing he said that the shipment came in then?) Hold on, let me go check the stock room.
Me: *waits again*
Dude: *comes back, gives me the said game, and walks off before I could say anything*
Me: *mouth gapes open and accepts the game* Why didn’t you guys put this out on the shelf!? *calls out to the helpful but yet unhelpful dude* Thank you!

WHAT AN ORDEAL. Yes, the majority of the workers at the PX have some rather poor customer service and aren’t very knowledgeable at times. Very frustrating when I have to resort to asking them something . . . REALLY simple. Reminds me of the ordeal I went through to asking someone there how much the sixth Harry Potter book was going to cost X____X;;

Anyway, I got the game, and to end the day even better, my dear ol’ daddy paid for it! Thank you, Daddy! :3 And now I’m looking forward to the first three-day weekend since July 4th. THANK YOU, LABOUR DAY.

Couple weeks ago, I wrote about my travels through memory lane. I shall be walking down that same lane again over the span of days or weeks. The only difference is that these three DVD sets will be my best friends. Come on, $13 for each DVD set? That’s not bad at all. Plus, I also ordered this. Yes, I’m lame.

Rocky and Bullwinkle! Dudley Do-Right! Mr. Peabody and Sherman! Fractured Fairy Tales! I WILL BE IN HEAVEN.

Oh and add my father to the list of watching Rocky and Bullwinkle. XD He shall be seeing these after myself, so both of us will be travelling down the SAME memory lane. X_X;; That’s actually kind of scary. I guess in some ways, the generation gap isn’t that huge between us.

I’ve watched the opening ceremony, so I had to see the closing ceremony.

It was . . . meh. Amazing, yes, but compared to the opening, it didn’t leave me that “WOW” impact. It was fun watching it, though. Watching it with my mother was an interesting experience, I’ll tell you that. She was very, er, enthusiastic.

Ah well. Now that the Olympics finally over . . . time to go back into my hole of not paying attention to current events.
