What was today like?
First off, it rained as if, as we Koreans say, there was a hole drilled up in the sky. This year, the climate is seriously unsual and unprecented. Don't ask me. I am Leo and hence like summer. But, it is not even humid or hot enough to call it summer. Just rain.. rain.. rain all the time.
Secondly, even though it rained, I finally started to look for new apartment. The current contract is bound to expire at the end of next month. I have been living in this 'one-room" the past three years. The casa de Oh is actually nice in that it is close to everywhere that I need to go e.g. work, gym, supermarket, transportation and all that. This is why it is hard to find a new place with such conditions and convenience.
And yet, I visited three local real estate agencies today and asked for an 'office-tel' Yes, I am trying to move up to an officetel. I have been saving up the past three years like crazy so I CAN buy an office-tel and sublet it and live off of it. Well, not exactly, but I can earn some extra cash every month. And that's what I was going for.. a place that is within my budget.
I really don't feel like borrowing money from my folks. My mother and I talked about providing me some seed money earlier this year, but I had not time to deal with it because of my job situation. In retrospect, I should have done it and invested it since the market has jacked up the price big time. I would have earned couple milion won easily. Everything is about timing. So is love. And this is why I may stink at some entities requiring perfect timing.
So, tomorrow over lunch I plan on visiting more agents and garner some information. This is going to be a big step for me. 3 years, 36 months and 365x3 days. What is ahead of me? I would like to know, but I like not knowing, for now.
