Swine flu

Alert! Alert!

I have never thought a person, who I know, get infected by swine flu. However, the swine flu hit my environment. Today, two of my coworkers got infected and one of my coworker who got infected was working with me in the morning, and we went to hospital together yesterday for health checkup. I do not think I got infected, but I kind of worry about it. Even though I haven’t got any infection, I feel like I have fever, and I have frog in my throat. I know it is just my imagination, but if you imagine that you are going to be harm; your health condition gets really worse. It called nocebo effect.

I think I should take care myself better, so I can protect myself. However, if I think other case that natural disaster cannot be controlled by people, so If something happen to me, I just need to take it, and to get over it.

Alright, I will think positive way. If I get swine flu, I get free vacation! Isn’t it good?

Cold weather

I forgot how winter of Korea looks like. I live in loft apartment and there is draft in that room. These days, I feel ‘ahhhhhaaaaaaaaa~. Fall is over and winter has come to me…’

I actually like winter of Korea that I could see and feel snow and I could hide my fatty arms and belly by wearing a parka. However, since I start live alone in Korea; I am afraid that winter season is coming. When I moved to loft apartment, I found that I need to pay more and more of utility then when I lived in Basement of a villa because of hitting system differences and room size differences. I need to use much more money to hit my current room up then the basement I used to live. For that season, if I want to save my money, I should not use hitting system in my room. Oh…poor Min ho. Well, so what is solution to prevent coldness? I wear underwear that is called ‘Nae-bok’ in Korea.

Except the reason I describe above, I really like winter. I like to drink coffee in the morning especially in winter season because I like to see vapor of hot coffee.

Also, I like to hear a crunch of footstep on snow.

Well... welcome winter to come here!

I do not see any rain these days. It just cloudy and a sudden shower....... more like east-Asia country weather it became. What happened to the earth and Korea? Even Korea forecast center does not make any announcement of rainning season officially. It is very difficult to tell when the rainning season begin and finish, because of changeable weather.
