The little things

Yep.

It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of life. Perhaps one is occupied with a relationship, school, or engulfed with responsibilities at work. I know it exists, but at this moment, I can't really think of the little things in life that I enjoy. No matter how insignificant the matter is, I want to feel a sense of accomplishment/satisfaction with everyday that passes by.

It's easy for me to get derailed from what I want to focus on. Focus Kim! I really dislike rushing myself. I don't mind working hard at whatever I'm doing, but I don't like when I'm put in situations where I must act quick or make brash quick decisions. On the flipside, when I rush myself and I accomplish all the duties on my list and MORE, I feel like I won the tournament of life. It's as if I somehow cheated the system.

It's ironic cause when I go at my comfortable pace, I'm usually unable to finish my very last task on my list. Or like if I accomplish many things in my day, a part of my day has to suffer. If I exercise like crazy, write a book, and prepare for my classes all before 2pm, I will somehow lose my wallet, accidentally elbow a midget, and play 3rd strike. There's probably a phrase for my situation, but it escapes me. Huh? Oh right, list of little things I enjoy..

-Waking up in the morning and immediatly being productive.
-Finishing my errands and finding out I have more leisure time then I originally thought.
-Saying something in Japanese naturally without having to spend a minute figuring out the sentence structure and correct grammar usage.
-Watching movies
-Shopping
- WILL CONTINUE SOON...

Suggest something please

Give me DA MONEYS!

Terrible clothing and $_$

Alright fools. In just under 6 days, I will get that paycheck I've been yearning to see. How do people survive seriously without having a stable job in this country? The other day one of my students told me Japanese people pay for their public education. Japan is just too expensive...

Even though Japan is a highly fashionable place, Japanese kids on the other hand... ARE NOT. Jesus christ... Japanese kids are dressed up as the biggest nerds ever.

StarflowerThe little boys are dressed like they are permanently living on a boat. Terribly short shorts and a sailor cap with chin strap included.

StarflowerThe girls are actually dressed much better, but of course since their girls, for some reason they have to wear skirts(Even on rainy days). Rock on Gender stereotyped clothing!

StarflowerAll school aged children also wear a huge rectangular backpack that is almost as big as the child themselves. If I was dressed up like this, I'd beat myself up.

.....
...


Just to prove that I'm definitely no pedophile, here are some hot images.

On to the sweet stuff, AKA, what I will buy with the money from my paycheck.
I wish my place was bigger so I could furniturize it up. There's this place I discovered with a friend a couple weeks back called "Franc Franc" in Shinjuku. Think of IKEA. Ok, then take out the cheap quality of IKEA. Now throw in a modern look, some elegance
, and affordability and you got Franc Franc. Moving along.

I've been confronted with a problem in which I have only two options.

Option #1:
Save money and eventually be baller.
Option #2: Spend money and look baller.


Ideally I should compromise
and meet in between, but I feel after 7 years of college and some hard times, I should reward myself with some irresponsible spending. Don't ya think?

But actually, I shouldn't really buy much clothes just because of the fact that I work 6 days a week. Usually I'll be in my work clothes anyway. BAH!

Later,
-Kim
