middle of nowhere

As far as I can remember, this time around last year was a lot colder than this.

Spring, which I'm supposed to be (kind of) excited about, comes earlier than expected.

I feel like I'm still somewhere around cold-freezing-snowy winter, though.

Is it 'middle of nowhere'?


Strange.



Anyhow, Starbucks was full of those who rushed to grab iced coffee and Frappuccino, while there was something going on MBC when everybody's attention was arrested to Yuna Kim's somewhat magical show.

I had, so to speak, one of the busiest day, in many ways.

I told you I have no regret.

But I do regret it now.


Surely you deserve more than that.


That hurts me most.

At the Heart of the Empire

Like once I already mentioned on this blog in the past, I'm not a big fan of Starbucks.

Also I'm still feeling uncomfortable with the fact that USFK(United States Forces Korea) are occupying vast amounts of land in Korea.
(Those issues surrounding the debates on its justification or whatever people argue are another matter.)



And now, you know what...

I'm working at Starbucks, located just inside of Eighth U.S Army, in Yongsan.

Sounds weird enough, kinda...?


I applied for this job, for this particular branch though, to tell the truth.

1. I was eager to learn how to make coffee,
2. thought I need to build my sociability more, (you know what it means to me)
3. and felt the progress had been rarely made on my English, especially speaking part of it.


As soon as my application was accepted, with all kinds of interviews and paper work things etc, I started working as a part-timer from last week.


So far, not too bad.
I cannot make a cup of coffee just yet, but I think I'm doing just OK. Reasonably acceptable. Not brilliant, but not disastrous, shall I say. Hundreds of thousand things to memorise, as it stands, that's the real worry for now though. Things will be all better as time goes, as it is, I hope.


One good thing about working at Starbucks anyway is that your money won't be spent. On the other hand, however, your labour force will be theirs resources.

Bearing in mind that, I'm just trying to get maximum of what I'm allowed to get. I've got a right to have two cup of coffee when I work, which I never miss. That's just a small part of it, anyway.


My thoughts on both organizations will remain unchanged, while I think it won't be a bad experience, will it?


Fingers crossed. :0

Am I?

iPod Classic

I miss my iPod Classic.


iPhone is smart and neat, no doubt about it,
but still, I don't feel comfortable when I listen to music with iPhone.
It's just kind of feeling that I'm not used to do so.
To short, iPhone has got iPod-function in it, but obviously it's NOT iPod.


Perhaps I've been missing it since I sold it off so hastily.
There are hundreds of occasions which remind me of iPod Classic...
Which is sad enough.


I knew that I'm gonna miss it.
