The Damned and Lucky One
Few reasons why I consider myself damned: (1) my boss is not present today; (2) everybodys enjoying friday life but me; (3) tons of work load left unfinished; (4) no stupid tricycle who wanted to hitch me a ride; (5) its raining profusely; (6) I'm soaking wet from sweat and raindrops; (7) its brownout!!; (8) midnight madness today @ glorietta and I don't have money; (9) no salary yet; (10) internet connection is so so slow...
Amidst all that I consider myself lucky for so many reasons as well: (1) feel lucky since I can feel the sense of freedom since my boss is not around; (2) I had a nice treat from my other boss; (3) I still have saturday and sunday to finish those left undone (good thing I don't feel the sense of urgency to finish my tasks today since my boss is not present); (4) had an exercise by walking few kms before finally reaching a tryke who wanted to hitch me in; (5) I bought a new umbrella somehow to shield me from the stupid rain; (6) At least I know that somehow my fats are burning out from the said lil exercise; (7) Still I can browse the net and thanks to mom's laptop with functioning battery (unlike my laptop whose battery is badly malfunctioning); (8) at least I went for a lil window shopping before I left for home (I shudda went a bit longer to avoid the traffic jam and commuter's rush); (9) At least I wasn't able to spend another dime for something worthless (talk about my impulsiveness in buying worthless things); (10) Though the connection is extremely slow, hard to connect, and always reconnecting, I have the luxury of time in typing this shit off.
So am still hoping for a good day tomorrow to finish what I shudda supposed to do tonight. Anyway, good thing I can sleep early. Might as well hit the sack.

Jaz Sittin' 'round
Audit is finally finished. Just gotta collect some documents for walkthrough of the process and that's it. Though I haven't finalized yet my documentations and all, still I feel freedom from something. Prolly freedom to roam around the country and see what's in stored for me. I already have endless plan and I'm quite excited to go to Seoul. Later the client will treat me in a korean restaurant. Finally! I got a chance to eat their food. Though they've been pampering me with nice meals I still long to taste the korean cuisine. Anyhow, I'm pretty much excited to go around and feel that I'm here for vacation.
The computer I'm using comes with special effects. γ γ νΌγ ... See what I mean? hahaha... Been reading stuff around the internet about how most of koreans are hard to deal with. But I totally disagree. Here at office they're different. They will give me utmost support I need. I want to take this opportunity to thank first of all Mr. Bill, Mr. KPK, Mr. Park, and Ms. Park for helping me out finish the audit in due time. Also I wanna thank Mr. Shen, Mr. Cho and the waitress/cook (esp. Ms. Lee and Ms. Hong). You've been very kind to me and for that I'm eternally grateful. USS Pusan has been my refuge not only from the cold winds but for making my heart be perfectly warm because of their good soul. Anyway, nuff said, let's talk about my experience here. Right now as I am just sitting around (audit's been finally finished), I want to tell you that the 'korean experience' is different. Although the impression I had with the hotel staff especially the manager is really unfortunate (bcoz they're pretty arrogant!) I would still have to say that its quite a good place to live. People are okay. The streets are clean. Everything here is okay maybe as long as you know somebody here. Its hard to live by yourself since language barrier is the ultimate hindrance in getting what you want. If I feel lonely I just go to Texas Street and walk pass through different bars. I often see my kababayan and I feel a sense of home and that's it. I could sleep and call it a night. If I have been given another chance to go back to Korea, probably I'll bring someone with me not only to accompany me with the audit but to experience the beauty of Korea.

Rondz in Korea
Strong cool winds at night and pretty hot temperature during noon is what spring is about in Korea. I don't need an aircondition, just open the window of my hotel a lil bit and i got an instant airconditioning. Its very cold in the morning that I have to heat-up the shower. Its also very hard to wakeup during the morning. Good thing I could go to as late as 9:30 in the morning since the client opens up club by 11am. Plus the finance manager usually arrives at 2pm. A nice thing here though is that people are very friendly and accomodating. Tough part is the language barrier especially when I go to different stores. They really don't understand you unless you make a sign language. Anyway, Im attaching some of my pix here so that you could imagine my life here alone. Just put in some stories when Im pretty slack. Gotta hit the road. I have some things to do.. By Monday, Im off to Seoul to find some things over there and enjoy my stay here in Korea.

Quick Note About My Arrival in Korea
When I landed in Seoul, I got stunned especially when I saw the city and that I can actually leave the airport and head for the big city. Yeah! I was probably dreaming since I still have to meet Mr. Bill at Pusan, which is the main reason why I flew in Korea. Anyway, the technology of Korea is really magnificent. From their digital advertisements down to their public phone booths. I even got myself in a primitive outlook since I do not know how to use such. Well, what can I do if Korean characters are blazing the screen. Yup! You heard it right, their pay phones are like computer monitor. Anyway, I tried calling up my family and friends and even talked to my mom... Moving a lil forward, I was already in Pusan and the climate is soooo terribly cold. Thank God, I checked the weather conditions prior to my flight. I was able to bring my thick jacket with me.
After coupla hours, I'm already here. Bonded with the client... Wandered... Got a beer... Watch TV... And today, I'm in front of the client's monitor while I'm working. Yeah! I'm working. Given the limited stay here. There's no time to waste. Not if you don't want to go around Pusan/Seoul? Anyway, I gotta log-off already. I still have to go to church.
