Slow Internet

I have been paying for cable internet for the past 2 years. The first year introductory offer was $30 for 10/mbs. After the first year, the price went up to $50. I told my landlord that she should pay for internet cuz i'm already paying rent and utilities should be included. So, she agreed.. but in turn, she changed our cable plan to the cheapest choice available which is 75/kbs called Road Runner Lite used primarily by people who just need lite web surfing and e-mail for $30.

Speedtest.net shows that actual speed caps at 50/kbs, and upload test timeout cuz it's so slow. My wifi 3g tether is actually faster at 75/kbs. That is really sad. Am i pissed? Yes. The difference in speed is 10/mbs vs. 75/kbs for $20. How cheap can you be? I paid a good 2 years of the good internet.. and just cuz she wants to save $20 a month... speechless.

The speed is so slow that i can't even surf the internet at decent speeds. Loading facebook takes a good 10 seconds.

Honestly, i think it's time i move out and find another apartment. Somewhere in Ktown LA. Anybody have hookups?

Song of the Day: Huh Gak - Want to Die

The title is actually a little longer. "The only words are 'I want to die'". This music video is a sequel to "Hello". It's got a nice twist in the middle. Song is pretty good.

Truth about Makeup

The truth is: It's Scary!

It's official, one of the scariest things in this world is makeup. It's not scary in the sense that it may frighten you, but rather it will freak you out in the morning after when you wake up next to someone you don't recognize.

Seriously.. plastic surgery shouldn't be what's on your mind anymore. If girls can do what the girls below in the screenshots can do.. hmm.. is it dishonesty? fraud?

If you look better and have an increase in confidence with makeup or clothes, more power to you. But looking completely different before and after seems a bit shady to me. It's like receiving a diamond ring, only to find out that it was Cubic Zirconia. Doesn't feel good right? It's not about being shallow which some of you may think, but the principle of what you think you are getting.

Below are screenshots from a Korean variety show "Star King" aired this past weekend. The girls featured are considered Fairy's in their respective cities because they post pictures online. They decided to show their bare faces on national TV. Brave.. very brave.

Daylight Savings Ends

Most of you should know about turning the clock 1 hour back. I remember back in the days, i used to love this day. Particularly because you get 1 extra hour to drink and party outside. Clubs generally close at 2am.. but since the 1 hour back happens at 2am, you end up with an extra hour!

Or during school, it meant 1 extra hour of procrastination. But today, it wasn't as exciting for me. I just slept early.. and didn't think twice about it. Of course, i ended up getting an extra hour of sleep - which is better than nothing.

Song of the Day: Wonder Girls - Be My Baby



They failed in the US, and it seems like they are slowly loosing their grasp in the Korea market. With this song, it seems like they are going backwards in their career. Their original trio of songs: Tell Me, So Hot, and Nobody - was a great career path imo. "Be My Baby" sounds too tween pop'ish. There is no "UMPH" that shows to the world they are top stars in Korea. The MV isn't that fascinating either..

The song isn't horrible.. it would have been great for a new debuting group.
