notes to self

note #1
1) stop overreading; there is no subtext.
2) melodrama is best overheard, not self-inflicted.
3) knock it off; it's all in your head.

note #2
1) play the seoul tourguide sunday & monday to stepmum's best friends who arrive tomorrow for a medical conference in busan.
2) instead of studying for finals next week, go to insadong on saturday to work out a walking tour for them.
3) buy stuff for the family; do not forget the all-important hanbok (traditional korean costume) for kitty.

note #3
may be useful for writing -- here in seoul, they use the word "well-being" (n) instead of "healthy" or "natural" (both adj). hence, you can buy a loaf of "well-being bread" at LOTTE for 200 pesos. the word is further corrupted by being pronounced "welbing" or "welping" depending on the speaker's place of origin.

note #4
1) stop blogging now.
2) memorize your speechee for tomorrow.
3) stop blogging now.

i texted you only boring stuff--like am already where am supposed to be, and if you get the message give me a ring or something. like am drunk and i can't feel my feet.
