White Day

Have you heard of White Day? Maybe not. It is a day celebrated in Korea and Japan, icreasingly in trendy parts of China and Taiwan too, I believe. It is Valentine's Day, well another one of those. 14th of March, the White Day is when the boys give candy or chocolate to the girls. Basically that means, if you are dating you get candy anyways with some small gift. But, if you confessed on Valentine's Day, unlike in the west, you have to wait whole month to see if he gives you candy back or not.

For me it is just another reminder that I'm alone. But, thank you Korea! There is another day for us singles. Black Day in 14th of April when singles get together and eat delicious jjajangmyeong (noodles with black bean sause).

Co-workers were nice though and brough us girls some chocolate. <3

Oh fuck this

You know, I don't get annoyed that easily but being ignored and not having working internet really does things for me. No matter what I say, they don't care to fix the internet in my host family. Which means that I cannot call home (did I want or not), I cannot pay my bills or transfer money from Finland cos too afraid to use the online bank as the internet works on 3 minute intervals. Also, cannot watch anything online. It took me 4 days to try and watch one episode of Running Man until I finally gave up and never watched it. As the net keeps going off every fucking minute, I cannot even dl it.

I'm pretty much ignored in the office. New intern, who just got there received Infinite H and CN Blue albums. I've been there a month and never got anything. Hell, good that they say 'hello' to me during the whole 7h I am there. Good thing I'm working in 3 places now, at least the other two are friendly and have nice people who actually bother talking with me.

I just want to change the host family asap. One big reason is the internet. I really need it to do things. I cannot do secure online banking from public free wifi's on cafe. No way! But also I work 6pm/10pm on Friday nights so I cannot even return home after that. And on the funny side of this family, I has elastic wrap up on my whole forearm and partially on my palm for days and no one even asked what happened. While I had small pain batches on my wrist at work and everyone asked what is wrong with my hand. That's how much I'm cared about here. Just, I want to work again on the bus next Friday so get me that damn host family, okay?
