i won't bore everyone to tears with the day by day and minute by minute details of the past 2 wks. i have been ill and i have been busy and it's too much to get into. so, i will start with today.
waking up shayla on tuesday's...
so, last night was quite chilly and for the life of me i can not seem to figure out how to work the digital floor heating unit in my korean apartment. it seems as easy as walking over to the thermostat and turning it on right? um yea okay. not so much. so much more complicated when the instructions are in korean. so needless to say i don't know how i slept so comfortably in my chilly apt last night. but apparently i did because i was so knocked out when my blackberry/ alarm went off very early this morning.
now right now???
i eased out of bed this morning and shut off my blackberry alarm. and like i do every single morning. i look at the clock look at my hands and point to each finger as i manually count each hour, minute and second of how much sleep time i can get in before i have to be to work (of course figuring the time it takes to get ready). this morning, unlike most mornings i actually decided not to put my alarm on snooze and i slowly went into the bathroom turned on the shower and got in and continued the daily routine of getting ready for work (painted my face, half ass flat ironed my hair and layered on about 6 pieces of clothing and ran out the door and as usual i was in a rush to hail my cab.
working it out...
today like most days was a really good day. no complaints. oh actually i almost forgot. so you know how i refer to my blackberry as the blackberry/alarm clock well yesterday i had the pleasure of finding out that the entire time i have been in s korea it has actually served more than just an alarm clock. ha, i totally forgot to change the settings on it so that it automatically goes into "wifi"mode when there is no service available. lord and behold for some strange reason the other day (sunday) i for some reason (God) walked over to the table that my phone has been on since the day i have arrived and picked it up and went to the options icon and turned on the wifi and it had a signal! i was shocked. for some reason i assumed it had no coverage but because i am still under my t-mobile contract i carried my phone to use only for emergencies during my travels in s korea. so, i hadn't thought to turn it on because i wouldn't really need to use it. ( i skype it up). so when i try to find a wifi connection all of the wifi subscribers have locks on their wifi so i wasn't sure if it was actually going to work. so before i headed to work i stuck the phone in my purse and figured that i would try it outside of the building. and when i got to work i heard a tmobile jingle and my heart skipped a beat. my phone was letting me know that i had wifi access and i got a ton of messages on phone that hadn't been retrieved in months! of course i dont open the messages because i am sure it is quite expensive so i do what anyone does when the find out their phone is working i make a call! of course i do! shayla isn't that going to be expensive and why would you do that? well, i just had to see if it was actually really working. so i called my mom. and my intentions were just to let it ring and then hang up. but the ring was so pleasant that i let it continue to ring until i heard my mom's voice. so what did she say when she recognized my old phone number she answered "why are you calling me on your cell phone?" of course i said..."just checking it out...gotta go bye" i was tickled pink. now why was i so excited about this? i do not know. and now that have finished this blog. i dont really know why i have spend the last few minutes spending so much time on this topic.
okay...well thats that
so, nothing really new, nothing really exciting and until next time...
smooches!
ring ring...
