korean diary + language
1. 진상
[네이버 자식iN에서]
진상은 위에 님들 처럼 국왕에게 토산물을 진수하는 일을 뜻합니다
그러나 님문자의 그 진상은 조선시대때 쓰던 말로 진짜상놈을 줄인 말입니다..
그래서 무슨일에 꼬장을 부리거나 추태를 부릴 때 진짜상놈(진상)이다라고 합니다
보통 술 먹고 꼬장부리면 저놈 진상이다 진상…!!이라고 하죠 ㅋㅋ
국사시간에 선생님이 수업중 말한거니 거짓말 아닙니다..
i.e., it’s used to describe something / someone as being crass or low-class.
2. 질름신
[네이버 용어사전에서]
‘지름신’은 네티즌들이 만든 신조어로 충동구매를 일으키는 가상의 신을 뜻함. 지름신이라는 용어는 ‘어떤 물건을 사다’ 또는 ‘충동구매를 하다’라는 뜻의 단어’지르다’와 초인적인 힘을 가진 존재인 ‘신(God)’의 합 성어이다.
i.e., used when you have impusively purchased something – 질름신이 강림하셨다!

came across this during one of my random surfs. i love elliot erwitt’s attitude, and i can totally relate to his answers.
i almost always do things with no special reason or purpose; i don’t plan for the future, i simply just do what i feel to do. and from my experience, it seems that most people (my parents, especially) have a hard time comprehending this.
some of my fave quotes: I just do what I do, without thinking too much.
I really don’t try to look for reasons for everything. I think it’s a mistake to look for a motivation for everything. You just go out and do what you do. Don’t think too much about it, because it takes the spontaneity out of everything.
throughout the interview, you can see that he has been repeating the same thing many, many times, albeit in different ways.
i doubt he was trying to be delibrately difficult or obnoxious like what some of the commenters in the above site have said. sometimes, we really really have no idea why we are doing what we are doing; the only thing that we know is that we just want to do it.

42 + work
hm. i haven’t written here in a long time.
for some reason, i always feel like i should write something, but my mind draws a blank everytime i face the wordpress screen.
anyways.
been to batam and back over the weekend, and batam was blah. don’t think i’ll ever go there again.
in other news, life is getting exciting again, and hopefully what i want will materialise. we’ll see. 
i may be taking baby steps, but i’ll still get there in the end.
