Why I don't have money

I had a pretty hectic weekend. Last Saturday, I met up with Marie and Tina to to give Marie's former student Jasmine, and friend Isabel, a goodbye party since the former was flying back to Korea this week. Since we (Ia, Ela, Marie & Tina) were all norebang addicts, we jumped at the opportunity to have another go at Ju Sarang . When we arrived, we were dismayed to find out that all the rooms were occupied, thanks to all the Korean teens who were spending their free time (probably a break from all the English lessons they were having) at the norebang. The receptionist wasn't sure what time there would be a room available for us. We decided to just wait in the lobby rather than kill time elsewhere, then come back and have trouble finding parking again. We entertained ourselves by taking pictures of each other and by passing out the tatoos i made (which everyone liked, yipee!!).





Anyway, finally, we were able to get a room and we sang to our heart's content. Around 6:30 PM, we all called it quits since Jasmine and Isabel had to be home by 7:00 PM. Marie and I agreed to meet w/ Tina at Station 168 after I drop Ia off at the office and while Marie drops the girls off at Glorietta. The 4 of us (Me, Ela, Marie & Tina) end up having dinner again at Station 168 and stuffing our stomachs with mandoo, kimbap and ttobboki. We say our goodbyes at around 9 PM. For a more detailed account, check out Marie's page.

The next day, my sisters and I decide to pick up the DVDs I ordered, Moon Geun Young's Innocent Steps and Eric (& Lee Byung Hun)'s Bittersweet Life. Then I saw Initial D, Edison's latest movie with Jay Chou and another movie that had Edison in it but for the life of me I can't recall the title. Anyway, we get those as well and then we see the Kim San Soon series on DVD and decide to get that as well (woohoo!!! Hyun Bin!!).


Our DVD Haul

Neddless to say, our wallets were pretty tapped out. We bought gifts for Jasmin & her mom, then Norebang, then dinner, then DVD shopping. Sigh! payday is so far away!!!! (T-T)
