I just wanted to share this interesting site. I didn't look up anybody I know yet, but it should be interesting.

Facebook as a source of motivation
The internet's so interesting, cuz it lets u just pursue every train of thought.

I had my first club experience in Korea (HongDaeAp - S-Club) at 7am in the morning. Because the public transit stops 12am~5am, ppl stay at the club till 5am. There didn't seem to be last call either. Leaving at 5am, then grabbing some junk food (scraps fish cakes that were probably sitting there for a very long time), I caught the subway and came home. Unfortunately, I woke up too late (1:30pm mmmm :) ) to catch the 2pm English service at SaRang church which I really wanted to go to before attend Matt Redman's concert on Tuesday, but I'm not feeling too bad about since going to the 2pm (3rd English service), 4pm (6th Korean service), 6pm services (college service) , then the 7:30pm meeting (Group Bible Study) felt a little overwhelming. Whelps.. I guess I will have to find some ppl to go to the concert with from GBS, since my 2 friends who are coming with me don't know all the songs.
Since I tend to go all or none, I decided that I'll just stick to my usual 6pm and 7:30pm meetings. This gave me some down time. I wanted to study for my CFA, which is only a month away, but 2 things keep me distracted from this. 1. A manager on my team wants me to learn about interest rate derivatives and swaps as soon as possible so that he can teach me to do some useful things ( then I wonder what I've been doing these past 2 months). 2. Little things like buying a desk lamp, making credit cards, buying a cell phone, uploading photos u took (cuz ppl keep reminding u), checking facebook to reply to urgent messages (since that seems to have become my only reliable method of communication in the absence of a cell phone and lack of use of email in Korea (ppl txt msg on the cell instead).
That's led to the following in the past 2 hours [well, after I finished some left over ho-dduk (pancake filled with brown sugar/honey - I thought the McDonalds McGriddle was a poor imitation of this) and some left over bread from Outback steakhouse (In Korea, they pack the bread/dinner roll for u with their famous honey butter)]:

- Download more Matt Redman MP3's since I still don't know all these Christian worship songs by heart
- Finding the best photo sharing site to share, since my recent share has created some discontent among the viewers
- Korean kids wanna use Cyworld, which I think is really poor, so to not use Cyworld, I felt that I had to offer a better solution. Imagestation was my favorite due to their speed and unlimited use, but they seem to have disabled Original image downloading since I last used it)
- Bubbleshare - this seems like an amazing site that works smoothly, lets u d/l zipped album originals, AND record audio on ur photos
- I was searching the internet for file limits of bubbleshare, but instead came across some site that said "Toronto-based" which made me wonder who made it. Albert Lai's bio seemed really impressive and motivational, since I always wanted to do something like he did, except my parents were opposed to me dropping out of school and starting something, but that's probably just my excuse.

- I didn't even finish buying the desk lamp, or upload the photos, but this afternoon seems to have been so productive. A burst of inspiration is such a precious feeling, but it's funny where u can get it from.
- I also got a gmail notification that an old friend from univ facebook msged me, n when I found out that he's doing a MBA/LAW and will graduate in 2 yrs, I was again impressed.
- This things prompted me to post this, and though I have so much more I wanna write, I gotta run to catch the subway to church at 5pm (45 min ride - maybe I can go over the CFA Ethics section on my way). Sometimes running out of time for something can be a good thing, I guess, so that I can make time for other things.
Greg, wassup bro!
