A Morning of Dumb
I’m really not a morning person. It would be most accurate to say that I’m a certified smeagol until I come out of the shower. It’s a beautiful thing.
This morning, before I hopped into the magical shower, I proceeded to brush my teeth. Oh you know…gotta have them pearly whites to dazzle the men in the tri-state area. But in my senile state, I instead began brushing my...
Call me Ninja
I think I have perfected the art of looking busy. You may scoff but I truly believe that it is a gift. Today at work, when a manager came into the studio, I furrowed my eyebrows, clicked my mouse furiously and bit my lip in frustration.
What was really on my screen you ask?
…a moving gif of a golden retriever puppy.
Thursdays. Love em.
Semi-Serious Shit
I know, I know. I’m not a serious person.
But I wanted to share some short, sweet life reflections.
1) I used to hate it when people said life is short. My stance on it used to be, “Seriously bro? The idea of living another 60 or so years is daunting to me.” But these days, I’m truly thinking that my years are precious and contrary to what many people believe, the...

My Profound Friend Part 1
Some of my friends make mind blowingly astute remarks about human nature on gchat during working hours. This series will be dedicated to all my cubicle philosophers out there. Shit’s going to be deep. Hold on to your underwear, lest your knickers be blown away by wisdom.
Me: dude I want wings
Me: with crispy skin and juicy flesh
Me: but I had chicken and beer yesterday…
Friend:...

Mumble Jumble
2011. What a year. I graduated from college with a shitload of debt. I have a job where my fate lies in the hand of Mike in IT, I made friends, lost some, I took my first legal shot with friends, I was unable to remember this said shot, I grew out my bieber hair, I cried over stupid things, stupid people, had a surgery and hated it. My mother is healthy, my brother is the height of a neanderthal...

Tis winter! Rejoice!
Nothing makes me happier than the upcoming holiday season- hot drinks in mugs and red starbucks cups, christmas decorations, the window displays on 5th ave., and even the craze of christmas shopping. There’s something incredibly comforting about keeping warm under layers of clothing while your face is icy from biting winter cold. Not to mention, I actually love the...

Mad Professional Bro
I work for a Korean company. This means, everyone and their mothers (duh) speak Korean with a few exceptions. In fact, I am as American as it gets around here. I used to always think I was so Korean until I stepped foot in my office.
It has its perks. They baby me especially cause I’m also the youngest. They aren’t as strict as they could be with the way I dress. I wear Toms and jeans...
Upgrading Humiliation
One of the most embarrassing things to ever happen to me was when my stomach growled during orientation. It was for this dumb writing test that I will now never forget because of the humiliation I endured during it. Literally, when the only thing you could here was the scribbling of pens on papers in a huge lecture hall, my stomach roared. Yes, not growled, roared. To add insult upon injury, it...
Random revelations
I don’t like blogging. Ironically, I like reading blogs because I feel like I can infer certain things about a person’s character through their entries. Maybe it’s because I sense dishonesty in my own writing. Dishonesty in the sense that my blog entries are not unfiltered recaps about the happenings in my life, but very consciously written entries to maximize enjoyment. How do I...

Should be a Holiday
Fridays are happy days. It’s really hard to be upset on Fridays. Today a co-worker asked me if I’m in love and when I asked why, he said, “You have a cheesy grin on your face and you’re glowing today.” Ha. Little do you know sir, that THIS is the Friday Effect.
Today is going to be awesome. Why?
1) All my bosses are all out today. Two on business + one on vacation = three roadblocks to a perfect...
Ode to Thursdays Deux
Maybe I’ll make this a weekly thing. By this I mean, secretly update my tumblr at work while silently laughing at Praise Hong’s dumb reblogs that I find funny anyway.
This week was significantly less awesome than last week. There were no unicycles named Lucifer for a start. I also left work on both Monday and Tuesday. Fearful. Why? Because I did absolutely nothing. Scoff, but I really did...
An Ode to Thursday
Thursdays are a mysterious thing. I don’t know whether to love them or hate them. Why? I want to hate them because they aren’t Fridays, but at the same time I want to love them because Thursdays give one hope that the only thing in your way from a glorious weekend is a Friday.
The odd thing about time these days is that on the day of, time does not effing move. An individual day feels like years,...

Lessons to the wise-r
Irritated.
This was the definition of my life for the past few days. I had been so annoyed recently that if I was to receive a dollar for every time I felt irritated, I could probably buy lunch for every person in America…kidding!…maybe…New York. I woke up annoyed, ate annoyed, shopped annoyed, drove annoyed and even poo-…SLEPT…with GREAT IRRITATION. I wanted to cut...

My reality
Oh gods of employment, why do you forsake me so?
Job search is so hard and annoying…cover letter after cover letter, worrying over qualifications.There are times after looking at job listings that I just want to cuddle with stuffed animals, a gallon of nutella, while pretending that plush animals and hefftastic hazelnut chocolate spread encompass all there is to human life. And then I...
Puffffffffy
I’m just a sentimental old fool.
Today at 4:30 AM, I was looking at old pictures of just about everything. The emotions welled up inside with each passing picture and by the time I came across a certain picture, I started crying. Nono, not the korean drama-esque, beautifully timed, drop by drop tears that gently flow down. I mean the “oh my eff who the eff are you?! dang not a good...
Recently
I just finished the last test of my college career.
I can’t believe the professor made this take home due a day after fourth of July… Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! Just kidding…but really…
I’ve been home since July 1st and it’s been wonderful. I really missed new york, even though when I’m actually here I can’t think of anything...

Fake Thugs
I have this habit of doing everything I possibly can in class…besides paying attention.
I check my email, pay my credit card bills, online shop, read blogs. It’s the life.
Today, I decided to check my old xanga…and dang, what a freaking trip…I’m not going to reveal my username because it’s embarrassing to the tenth power. But I can reveal snippets of...
Unexpected Reminders
My history professor just offered $100 to anyone in the class who can name all twelve disciples.
Easy money.
Not.
Guess this is a funny way for God to remind me that I should read the bible more.

Just tossing it out there
I think I’ve forgotten…no…I HAVE forgotten how to be a student.
This is not to say I’ve raised my hands and have shed myself of academia. Actually. Yeah it is. But more importantly, I wish to discuss my problem of forgetting how to be productive.
It’s like I catch dementia after every semester! I forget everything I learn. In all my time as an economics major, I...

Mom.......
Today, my mom sent me her usual mid-day, sunshine filled text.
“Alex have a wonderful day! Hope everything is well!”
I replied.
“Mom. Actually, can you put some money into my account? I wanna buy stuff”
Shortly after my phone vibrated…
Her reply.
“lol thank you for the joke!”
curses.
Awkward
Time now: 3:37 AM
Date: April 1st
It is April Fool’s Day. Technically speaking.
You know what’s awkward? Being awake while someone is pranking you. I am currently wide awake, writing this entry while the sound of scheming, duct tape, whispering and ignant muffled giggling can be heard outside my room door.
Will I bust out of my room and be like “HA SUCKAAAAA” allll up...

Dear...You,
I live with a bunch of ahjoomas. I know we’re cool and hip y’all but that’s just a front. Nam sayin? There are times when I dress up to go have a night doing things that cool kids do, but all I want to do is sit on the couch and watch food network with my army of kka kkas.
From my experience as a high-level, powered up joom (affectionately short for ahjooma), one of the most...

tender loving care.
I pride myself on having skin that is naturally accepting of the sun…aka I tan really well. But this Aruba sun must be something else, cause it’s official- i have sun poisoning. It sucks…and it hurts…a lot.
So the verdict is, in lieu of the summer’s intense heat and UV exposure (especially you Cali kids), please apply SPF. HIGH SPF. Keep your skin hydrated friends....
