I had already told myself that I was going to stay at a hostel (for the very first time) in Seoul. $30/night for a private room in an expensive city? That's definitely a score. Plus, I'd get to meet new people, find a travel buddy or two, or at the very least, have someone to eat lunch with.
But, I researched too much and found a picture of the hostel's bathroom on flickR and now I'm considering the $70/night option at a hotel instead.
Tsk. How much does an arm or a leg sell for these days? ;P

The Geeks Come Out at Night
So after a month of receiving Tuchie (the iPod Touch), I finally decided to take it out of the box last weekend and let it do its thang. But little did I know that I had to do more than just hook those darn cables from Tuchie to Papa (the PowerBook G4).
It turned out that I needed iTunes v.8, but I couldn't upgrade it because Papa has an older operating system which can't take iTunes v.8 (did you follow all that?). Sneaky Mac folks trying to make more dough. And stupid me for not checking the specs before buying!
After much stress and counting pennies out of my piggy bank the last few days, Allen came to the rescue tonight and upgraded my OS to the latest and greatest Leopard (rawwwwwwr) OS. We got to the library at 7:30pm, but the library closed at 9pm so us two geeks were outside of the library doors, cheering Leopard to hurry up and prowl Papa already. Empty library, locked doors, two geeks, and one laptop emitting light from its screen. Talk about the geekiest thing I've done lately. Ahh, but it was all worth it.
Tuchie is now ready for international travel and Leopard on Papa is just plain s3xy. I'm officially cool, people.

Facts of Life
I have exciting news, but I'll save them when things are finalized by the end of this week. :)
My latest epiphany (while in bed the last five days because of the flu) is that life is about making your dreams come true, fulfilling those deepest desires of your heart. When our life becomes miserable, it's most likely because we're straying away from those dreams.
However, whenever we're in a miserable state, we often just want to get out and look for the fastest way. So soon enough, we're in the same miserable state, but just in a different environment.
I'm so tired of this cycle. I hope that I can mix in some honest-to-goodness soul searching in the latter half of the next two months. When I come back after my trips, I hope to be able to be on the right path again, more determined and much happier.
Until then, job-hunting and house-buying are on hold. Pogi-wanting? On-going, of course.

This Love
This week's to do list, in no particular order:
The best thing about life...is loving yourself...during a Hallmark-created holiday. No angst, just all love. Kung may pogi akong kilala na single, baka feeling sawi pa ako this week, but since I don't, it's business as usual. Happy na ako na maganda ako. ;P
- facial or 1-hour massage
- window shopping
- trip planning
- bake mango oatmeal cookies
- spend quality time with Johnny Bravia (the HDTV)
