YoungDoo & John

Dave — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:13:09 +0000

John and I have been friends for many years, but never actually met in person. Until now, that is. John arrived this morning here in Korea, and will be spending about a month here with his girlfriend, my other good friend YoungDoo. I met them just now for a short bit, and I’m really glad for them, they look happy together.

Welcome to Korea, John. Hope you’ll enjoy your stay .

Eomji~!

The Green Pill

From a while ago, when my head kept nagging while I tried to look busy do some work. It looks so pretty .

Blast from the past: On our way to big sis’ old new house.

It was February the 28th, 2008. In my big brother’s (at the time new) car with ear-throbbing music on in the car with my big brother (right), big sister (back) and Chanel (behind me, seen below), my big brother’s daughter.

Introducing a new category on my blog; Memories.

My endless love for Music..

Dave — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:29:33 +0000

As you might know, I’ve got an ever-growing love for music. It’s the one thing that helped me get through everything so far, and without it I honest-to-god wouldn’t know how to live. I’m always trying to find something new to further let me sink into this endless ocean of musical goodness, and last week I ended up buying a new DAC/AMP on a whim, recommended by a friend. It’s the iBasso D10 Cobra. Fancy name eh?

I already have an AMP, but missed the DAC part (A Digital-to-analog converter. I tend to call it ‘a sound card’. Yeah, I’m that technical). My work PC’s sound card is painfully bad (there’s a constant ‘wheeeeeeeeee’ sound, drives me nuts), and the VAIO could use a boost too. So I figured I’d upgrade, and sell my still pretty much brand new AMP (The Little Dot MK1, in case you were wondering).

I’ll spare you with the geek talk, and instead show some photos. Still geeky, though less so.

Using my Sennheiser HD 380 Pros to listen to some, ehm, amplified tunes.

I'm using the stock cable for now, waiting for my other one to come in this week.

Using the SendStation to get Line Out, my custom-made cable is not working with this iPod (3rd generation)

It's pretty small, making it easy to bring with me to work.

Bon Iver has never sounded this amazing..

Cleaning the house — Fortunately, I had help

Dave — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:11:22 +0000

Last weekend I did some serious mental/house cleaning. Call it Spring Cleaning. It was a tad difficult to get myself to actually do it (I’ve been meaning to do it for months now), but fortunately enough I had some help to, ehm, clean with me. Sort of.

Geeking out for a second

Happy birthday, me.

Twenty-four years old, whew.

My birthday came and went like any day. It seems like the older you get, the less obvious the day becomes. I guess in a few years I’ll be hoping the day won’t come at all, as it’s little more but a reminder of the things we have yet to do. Or something less depressing sounding.

I had fun yesterday evening though, as I could spend some time with a few friends. We had dinner at Dos Tacos in Gangnam, and after that spent some time at the nearby Paris Baguette. I got a few really nice gifts, including a tiny Spongebob pen, a Moleskine and a brand sparklin’ new Starbucks card. Now I can finally stop using that christmas card .

Some photos, all made by YoungDoo.

(Left: JuSung) Beautifully timed shot, thanks a bunch, Doo..

I thought she was making a photo of the cups alone, ahem.

Well, onto 25!
