VIA?

Starbucks keeps putting forth new blends of coffee and the newest one yet? Aside from the holiday blend, which comes out every year around this time, is the VIA. Instant coffee mix that tastes just like the starbucks coffee brewed in Starbucks. Is that just amazing or what?! And not only that, but VIA now has three official kinds, medium, bold and decaf. One kind to suit any coffee lover out there. Now, everyone can enjoy a Starbucks coffee at the luxury of their home with just one packet of VIA. But, why is it so expensive? Does it really taste exactly like Starbucks coffee? I would try it, but I cannot dare spend so much money on some instant coffee mix that is not guaranteed to satisfy my coffee hunger. Anyone willing to try for me?
Lately, I have been enjoying coffee alot and cigarettes. I think when someone goes through a hard time, they tend to enjoy something that tastes bitter or sweet, one or the other opposite. Coffee leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, but it is delicious and I keep wanting more and more. That is so much money out since I don't know how to operate a coffee machine and am reduced to having to purchase coffee from cafes all the time. Not only that, but omfg cigarettes are overpriced!
Do i run low on money but satisfy my needs when in stress?
or do i save money and just keep adding stress to myself.
Lose lose situation. FML.

Swine flu



LOL on the picture.
So the swine flu epidemic is actually alot bigger than everyone had expected and it is getting the best of the global population, or at least those I can see. Even here at UT, everyone is scared shitless for the swine flu. This is so apparent because those hand sanitizers are applied on every wall in every building. People stare you with glaring, evil eyes when you cough in class, and you have to wear masks when you want to see the nurse at the SSB. I actually really wanted the epidemic to be huge so that the school would close down. Never happened, so sad.
In Korea, where I am from, the swine flu epidemic is really big. Every day on the news, people are dying or are diagnosed with the swine flu. My friend tells me that everyone wears masks everywhere they go because of the fear of the H1N1. I wonder if the swine flu is actually a big deal in the states but the government is hiding the truth and the true statistic about it from the citizens. If that is the case, that is extremely upsetting because people are actually dropping and dying from it.
A Korean celebrity's son passed away two days ago from the swine flu and it was splashed across the news as one of the top stories. He died two days after being diagnosed with the swine flu. It is sad, but the true situation right now.
People be careful!!! and always wash your hands. :)

대체 뭐가 문제인걸까.
이걸 읽는사람들은 아마 이 글을 전혀 이해 못할거라고 .. 이미 알고있지만.
너무 답답한 내 심정이, 여기 말고는 적을수가 없으니깐 그러니깐
이렇게 나마 발악하는걸까?

Future.

What is so fearful of the future that everyone is scared for what it holds?
I know I am so scared of the future too, but the present holds enough problems to solve and the problems today is enough to handle for now, so why should we be so burdened with whatever tomorrow is going to hold right now? What if the mistakes we make today because we are so preoccupied with the fear of the future creates more trouble? I think that if we keep ourselves busy with taking care of what we need to today, then the future will unfold itself naturally the way it should.
I have always been so worried about what my future held for me that I overlooked the most important things I needed to grasp in the present. It over complicated things and it seems all stupid now. Two years back, I thought I would have been studying MCATs and solving problems that I am not even bothering right now. So in parallel, I am never going to know what future really might hold. So, I decided that it is more important to know and to do what I need to do now rather than worry about what I should do today to better suit the future.
This post didn't make one single sense. hahaha
