Tiddlebits

I'm not sure if that is a word, but I just made it one and I LIKE IT.

So, I've been super horrible about updating this blog, but zero people have complained so I'm almost positive no one reads it. I'm fine with that. Imma keep posting anyway because I'll do what I want. I'm going to shower you in tiddlebits (those are short stories with a cuter name).

1. My (newish) Korean bf has been kind of sheltered in terms of music. I recently introduced him to Bob Marley (RIGHT?! has he been living under a rock?!) and he was ALL about some "No Woman, No Cry." A few days after listening to it on repeat, he turns to me in the car and asks, "Did you know Bob Marley is dead?" Um, yes, of course. Everyone knows that. He died before the two of us where even born! (1981...I looked it up). He was shocked I knew and also told me he was very sad about this news. He thinks Bob made good music and spread a good message. He's very upset he is no longer living. I mean, I am too, but I have come to terms with it since he's been dead MY ENTIRE LIFETIME. I was a little sad for him, but I still laughed in his face.

2. Halloween! Precious, as always. And a costume fail for me, as always. Every year I'm like, THIS IS THE YEAR I WILL RULE AT HALLOWEEN. I'm a pretty creative and crafty person so you'd think I'd be all over it but seriously every year my costume sucks. I'm not sure why, but I think because I don't really have any motivation to make an awesome one. Well, I don't have it until the DAY of and I feel like a failure because everyone else has a great costume. Also I always want to be something cool and creative, but I can never get my shit together in time and then it's the day of and I'm wearing the same Panda suit as last year. I didn't even go out for Halloween this year, so I only wore it for school. I also wore a blonde wig and had some crazy make-up, so I dubbed myself Lady Panda Gaga but none of the kids knew who Lady Gaga was. Fail. Especially since two of my co-workers were rocking homemade matching shark costumes. F them.

3. I got to eat some AMAZING Thanksgiving food last weekend at a friends church. OMG, it was so delicious. Homemade casseroles, pies, stuffing, mashed potatoes and TURKEY. All of the above are rarities in Korea, so it was a delightful treat. However, first I had to sit through the church service and it was THE WORST. Now is the not the time or place for my rant on how much I hate most all organized religion (yeah, I'm one of those people) but I felt like my ears were being assaulted. I just the love the hypocritical message that was sent. We love everyone! Except people that don't believe what I believe and also do stupid things like get a taro card reading (this pastor was super anti-fortune telling) or even worse, be gay. There was a special service for "People who practice sexual sin." Also, instead of being like, yay, Thanksgiving! Give thanks! Eat food! Togetherness, hooray...the pastor titled his sermon "Thanksgiving in jail" and literally had people in tears with his personal family sob story. THE. WORST. My new life goal is to never sit through a church service again. But, hooray food!

4.I have been stepping it up lately in terms of beauty care. There are beauty shops EVERYWHERE here and most things are pretty cheap. So, I wanted to join the party...plus I have been into makeup more and more these days. I don't know what I'm doing and I'm generally too impatient to do things properly, but I've been trying, The sad part? I look worse. Maybe it's a transitional phase but I currently have two huge zits (which is very unusual for me), my skin in overall gross and my HAIR. Ugh, my hair! It's terrible and I want to shave it all off. I won't, but I'm at my wits end with it. It's depressing. My stomach as also gone crazy lately and I can't really eat anything without a piece of my soul dying and coming out. Lame.

5. I just tried to order some grown-up (and much needed) undergarments from Victoria's Secret and now I'm outraged. I was going to ship them to my lovely mother, who was going to ship them to me because, like most companies, VS sucks and doesn't ship to Korea. Upon checkout, I discovered that shipping was going to be $12. Mmmm, what? I thought pretty much every store did spend $50, get free shipping. Nope! In fact, the more money you spend online at VS, the more your shipping is. Ummm, cool. Fuck you. Cancel order.

Ok, well that's enough for now. In other news, my life is pretty rocking right now. Other than the occasional hiccups, things are awesome. The weather is getting colder and as soon as it snows, that will come to a screeching halt, but I'm ok for now. Fingers crossed everything and everyone in the Philippines is ok, too!

Dream big, people!
