Selfish as Motherfuckers

If you've been in Korea for more than a couple years, I'm sure you've realized that there are a LOT of selfish motherfuckers here. Why? Because most are passerby-ers and figure that they can just use and abuse people they meet in Korea, since they'll most likely never run into them again post-Korea. I frickin HATE selfish motherfuckers. Most are pretty obvious about it, but some are sneaky little fuckers. I will talk about both types.

1) Outright CHANG's: So this girl, let's call her...Chang, for a lack of a better word. kakaka. She's like this short, dark, not attractive, 촌스러운 (country fashioned) girl, who like never partied before she came to Korea. But low and behold, she starts going out in Korea like crazy and thinks she's some sort of socialite and knows everyone and thinks she got the hook up to all the places. Bitch will like roll up with 30 people, asking for wristbands for all of them, acting like she's a promoter and shit. The real promoters got annoyed of her quick. Anyways, she just started getting worse and worse. By the time she was ready to go back to the states, I don't know if she was tryna save $$ or what not, but like...she would not even want to pay for coat check! It's like $2! So when me n my girls would coat check, she would just throw in her shit with ours, ALWAYS, and say she didn't have cash or watever. Then! She would make us stay until SHE wanted to leave. Wtf... Oh! And she would straight up like talk to nasty as guys for free drinks, and like bounce right after. That's so rude. At least have a conversation with them, you know? She would also try to share cabs, even though her house is way out of the way, and then chip in like $2... smh.

2) Undercover Changs: So this girl, let's call her..Sneaky. She lived far away from Seoul so I used to let her crash at my place on the weekends. At first, she bought me lunch and things here and there but then soon enough she got too comfortable and just started not showing gratitude at all. And by the time she was ready to go back, shit got real weird and awkward between us, cuz she started kind of being distant and hanging out with her co-workers more (of which she used to always talk shit about). Anyway, a year after she goes back to the states, she decides to come back with her sister. She has the audacity to ask if the two of them can stay in my studio. I mean, it's already cramped with two people, and she's tryna bump it up to three? cuz of their cheap asses? oh hail no, so I was like nah~ So she comes, and I think that we'll hang out and stuff, but again she chooses to kick it with her lame as co-workers. So, I was like whatever. In conclusion, she was just a sneaky ho that used and abused  me for free weekend housing and was quite sneaky about hiding it until she left to go back home.

I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but seriously...I'm just drained from expending my energy on people that really didn't deserve it in the first place. I mean, I already do keep my circle of friends really small, but gah~ people really never fail to amaze me. You would think, being in their late 20s will be more mature and considerate. Nope, the opposite happens. People are always thinking about "what can this person do for me?" It's disgusting, I'd rather be a loner/loser than hang out with people like that, for sure.

The "Walk" and Jailbaits

I had an interesting conversation with some of my guy friends today. This is one thing I LOVE about having mostly guy friends. They give me the inside scoop about the inner workings of a male's mind, which is rather simple (sex, sex, and more sex). Anyway, my friend was telling me that you can tell if a girl is great in bed, purely based on the way she walks:

1) The Cat-walker. Post-sex, if a girl walks with confidence to the bathroom, strutting her stuff, then it means she's good in the sack.

2) The Doddler(?), think he meant Waddler. Where the girl is kind of shy and covers her body and shruggingly hurries to the bathroom. I guess she walks like a duck too?

The friend said that the "walk" is 100% accurate, thus far. So if you're a guy, and want to know beforehand, if a girl is going to be a good fuck, make sure to pay attention to the way she walks. Stay away from waddlers :P I think there was another walk in the middle of cat and waddle, but I was pretty hungover today so I can't remember right now. But I think it's true. You're either good in bed or not. There's no middle ground, really.

So...the last time I dated a 21 year old(?) was a couple years back and I vowed never to go that route again. Why? Because he was:

1) Super immature
2) Rabbit hump
3) Drunk dialed me at 5 am
4) Loud and obnoxious all the time. I had to tell him to shut up whenever he came over, because he talked so loud  that my neighbors could probably hear.

So why did I even date him? Well, I like to be an equal opportunist. I was always curious about dating younger guys. And I kind of have a bucket list of the types of guys I want to date before getting married. He also bought me a HUGE 36 pack Pepero for Pepero day (It was the sweetest thing). Anyway, the last straw was when he drunk dialed me at 5 am and asked to come over. Dude, I have work the next day, respect my sleep! So it was goodbye~

Fast forward to..a month ago(?) I meet this 23 y/o and he's cute and funny, etc. so I thought I'd give it another whirl. But this one...had a drinking problem, which I didn't know about til a month into dating him. So, I'm at my friend's going away party. This guy shows up super drunk and belligerent. Is rude to me and my friends, so I tell his friend to take his ass home. But he keeps coming back and tries to grab/hug my girlfriend. Like what?! How embarrassing is that? In front of all my friends, he acts a fool, and in turn makes me look like a fool. The next day, he calls and says he doesn't remember anything. That's the lamest excuse ever. My ex-boyfriend was a belligerent alcoholic, so I am SUPER disgusted by people who change when they are drunk. And he knew about him too, so again..it was goodbye~

A guy who doesn't know how to handle his alcohol, is probably the BIGGEST TURN OFF! If you know that you're going to become a monster, then don't even drink at all. I've always been surrounded by happy drunks, so I'll never understand those angry drunk people, EVER.

Ugh~ Been inadvertently listening to my aunt and uncle bitch at each other over some stupid baby photoshoot thing. Why can't they just bicker in their own bedroom, instead of in the kitchen, where the whole world (me) could  hear their business. They both have the loudest voices too. Aren't they the least bit..embarrassed? I need to get out of here...

Plastic Surgery-Land (Korean Barbies R' Us)

I have visited Korea a couple of times before deciding to finally live here (indefinitely) in 2008. It has been 4 years now, and my, have things changed. Of course, back in the early 2000's, getting a nose job and double eye-lid surgery was the norm. However, these days, Korean women have taken it to beyond the next level. Plastic surgery seems to be like "crack" for Korean women. Once they start, they just can't seem to stop. I understand that it's unfair to be ugly, etc. And I don't mind people getting a little "enhancement" here and there. But if you look like a TOTALLY different person...then, you're just lying to yourself and everyone else. And that's just sad. Plus, what would your husband think, when you pop out an ugly baby?? Oh wait, guys don't really think that far. They're only thinking "Damn, she's hot."

I mean, there're so many amazing things you can do with make-up to transform yourself, why go under the knife, risking your life AND having side effects? What if you come out uglier? Not even just that, why get the "package A" and look like everyone else? Korean girls tend to get the same surgery from the same doctors. Case in point..(There's an advertisement for a plastic surgeon on the top right corner, do you see anything similar about these women? Haha, look at the confused guy in the back..)

I mean, God made us to be different and unique in our own ways, so why fuck with that? I wouldn't want to look like anybody else. And it's SOOO obvious too, I can tell if a girl got plastic surgery from a MILE away.  The even more funny thing is that there's no shame in it. People walk around Kangnam and Apgu, like they're hot shit with their bandaged noses, pollution masks, and looking like they straight got punched in the face with their bloated and purple faces. Like this..
What's even more disturbing is that I heard these women think of it as a "privilege," like carrying around a Louis Vuitton purse (Like, "I can afford to have this surgery and you can't!") Ugh, disgusting. And I blame Korean society for this. This is the only country (correct me if I'm wrong) that require you to send a recent photograph with your resume. In the states, there would be a huge lawsuit against the company. You know what else? They also have an age limit (esp. for women), I think at 30 in order to apply for a job. So, if you're 30+, good luck getting a job in Korea. Unless, of course, you get one of these "package A" plastic surgeries and lie about your age, ㅋㅋㅋ.

The sad consequence of this new trend is that people are relying less on their inner beauty, and just going for the quick outer beauty fix. How will that affect our society in the long run? Well, soon enough everyone's going to start looking like clones (which has already started), and no one is going to have substance, personality, hard-work ethics. These girls think that they can get this surgery to look pretty, and this rich douche-bag knight in shining armor is going to sweep them off their feet. But what they fail to realize is that, there are thousands of girls with the same exact goal. So in the end, won't the guy end up looking for something more authentic and different? Just like how Asian models used to be sought after for having the "European look" before, but now the classic "Asian look" is more appreciated and sought after by the fashion industries. What people fail to realize is that trends die fast, but your body will be with you for at least 60 years from now, and beauty will eventually fade. The $$ spent on plastic surgery could have paid for grad school or self-improvement workshops to make you a better person from the inside and have people actually respect you instead of looking at you as a piece of mannequin meat off the Barbies R' Us shelf.

Xanga...

Ah, remember the good 'ol days of Xanga? Gosh, I feel so old. Well, I remember posting all my angry rants on that thing. It was rather therapeutic, and my friends really enjoyed reading it. So, I decided to give the blog world another whirl. Except this time, I have to be a bit careful about my "identity." I'm not scared of people finding out who I am (I can care less, as I'm the most "I don't give a fuck" type of person), BUT I do have a career that may be affected if my identity were to be revealed. So, until I get thousands of hits and can make a living solely off this blog, you will know me purely as the "skinny little bitch."

I don't really have a "set" niche, plan, nor category in which my blog will fall into, as I am no expert in any particular field. But, you can look forward to reading blogs about my life and experiences in Korea (during the past couple of years), as a Korean-American female. I think it will be completely different from reading a Caucasian-written blog about Korea (as I know the language and culture quite better), as well as a Korean-written blog about Korea (as I am still mostly American, having spent most of my life there). I still think that I'm a good mixture of both, but coming to Korea has definitely raised a lot of questions about my identity. I don't quite feel at home here, but neither do I in the states (I'm deathly scared of going back and readjusting to the American life: driving, rent, bills, credit cards, blech). I do love to travel though, so maybe I'll settle somewhere else in the world? Only God knows..

I will be writing about the best and worst places (IMHO) to eat, grab coffee, party, work-out, shop, take a short weekend trip, etc. I'm very, very picky when it comes to food, so hopefully you won't be disappointed with my suggestions. I've also traveled all over South Korea, and have been to all the major and not so major cities. So, it seems like my blog will consist of a bunch of randomness about Korea, but I assure that each blog will be of utmost sincerity, honesty, and good intentions of helping those who come to Korea not having a clue about what to do or about the culture.

And most importantly, I am going to do a little SOCIAL EXPERIMENT. Love is probably one of the most important aspects of a person's life, so I most definitely can't leave that out of my blog. Having only one serious boyfriend in the past couple years (which turned to shit, I'll write that in a later blog) and a multitude of dates/dating that didn't work out, I started thinking...am I attracted to the "wrong" type of guys? Well, yes, I am. I like the tall, handsome, built type of guys and 99% of the time, they turn out to be a douche, crazy, or boring. So, I thought I'd change it up a notch and try dating guys that I would normally NEVER give a second look to, at a bar/club/etc. Let's face it, when you enter the working world, how easy is it to meet people of the opposite sex around your age? Not at all, and bars and clubs ARE the only places. Friends of friends? Psh, I know them all already.

So, I have a plan: to go to conventional places like churches, bookstores, markets, etc. in search of a NORMAL, decent guy who wants a serious relationship, or at least wants more than just getting into my pants. I am aiming for TWO dates/month and will update after each date. Despite my not-so-good luck in the love department in the past, I'm still a hopeless romantic and believe that some day..my prince will come. So, who knows? Maybe I'll actually fall for one of these experiment rats, kekeke. But only time will tell..
