Oh, my Man won a day.
Breakfast - Don't eat it, it makes you fat.
Lunch - Don't eat it, it makes you fat.
Quitting Time/Dinner - AHHHHH I eat Man Won worth of food. GG. |
I couldn't possibly not eat for that long. I have a high metabolism, and of course being as highly strung as I am, doesn't help! |
Yeah, I stopped eating school lunch. I lied. I am also starving.
Today:
Breakfast: Water, 야념바베큐김밥
Lunch: Water, 매운 불닭김밥
Dinner: Water, and I'll either make 김치찌개 or 미역국 |

Boredom, too much freetime, tired of the repetative rotation of topics at the moment on other forums I frequent, as well as this one. Mix it up a bit, give the crowd some gory fare to feast on. One is not as unaware as one comes across. Find it interesting to see what one can manage to pull out of those of madoka's ilk, see how far they will go etc.

If that's true, then you REALLY have to expect the kind of responses you've gotten. I think you more or less admitted to trolling. Not that I'm one to care, I think reading a bit of trolling makes Dave's a little more special.

I live in a one room. I hate cooking, eating, cleaning up and going to sleep in the same room. Feels like being caged. Use the one room to sleep and watch movies in etc and eat out makes it okay. 5k a day on brunch at the shiktang still keeps me within the man won a day range as I get free, totally free very good dinners at my hakwan. Used to cook a lot last year as had a 5 room apt. Salad days now, though I am actually enjoying the man won a day thing, makes for an interesting project, living a new lifestyle. |
I hear you on the one room thing. I'm lucky to have a big but old place. I know sometimes I cook and the smell just hangs in the kitchen. I keep my bedroom door closed and have to go in there after dinner to escape. Luckily I brought back some incense to kill the food smell.
Just be careful. I used to eat out a lot, and I think the amount of salt in Korean restaurants can adversely effect your health. /Mom rant |

In my first year, the foibles of youth coupled with a penchant for stupidity that taxes belief created some budgetary nightmares. I spent my first Chuseok with four thousand won, two cups of flour, about five leek stems, and some pepper. I remember scratching up some kind of stone soup and resigning myself to the fact that I was probably going to die.
My hat to the OP if he can keep this up for a month. |

It's more like baiting / duping the trolls than actual trolling.
I just like seeing how far those guys are willing to go. Another reason it's not really trolling is they are actually getting what they want out of the transaction, it is their whole modus operandi anyway.
I don't mind the one room, it's pretty cosy actually! I am the type of cook that needs a nice open space though.
McGhengis - I WILL keep it up! Bear in mind my budget for the weeknds is 50k though or even 75k and I can still meet my savings goal.
I would love to try your soup just to see how bad it really was! Mail me some if there's any left!! |

Livewire, have you considered giving up smoking? You'll be able to get a few more chun won out of that and your health won't suffer.
Just lookin' out for you  |

jjajangmyeon - 4000
Condensed milk and mocha bread - 1600
Mackgolli - 3000
That should be all today unless we get hamburgers like we did yesterday instead of the usuall Korean spread at work. If we just get hamburgers - a further 1,000 on a gimbap.

I indeed have. I bought an e-cig but it didn't work out for me. My 4 or 5 smokes a day doesn't put me at much risk for the heavy killers (do the research on pack years) and I just enjoy my evening cigs too much to want to quit. Plus, you know, non smokers are kinda dull ;p |

Ok hold up.
Yes I know shakespeare, Someone asked you to ask me what I do for money etc as to not be a hypocrite I presume.
Hmm... I don't do it daily, I spend about �30 a week (though I never keep count specifically, I just have a natural boundary where I think it's too much). Then if I want something easy or special every now and then I do.
Probably spend about the same or less for a week overall. Less cigs (What can I say, I'm dull?) and alcohol.
There's an all you can eat bibimbap place around the corner for 3000 won which is basically awesome. Just pay and top up until you're done.
Also I tend to not have breakfast or lunch. I have a few snacks throughout the day but my job didn't really permit any time for anything other than eating, say, pringles during class time.
I'm sure buying in mass weekly rather than daily would save money, IF you know how to use every ingredient rather than letting it go off and binning it. I haven't exactly mastered the art yet but I'm working on it. What more can you ask for a whiney 23 year old, fresh out of uni? |

Update (thrilling isn't it?)
A kid got 50 of my signiatures for good work on her sign sheet, so I spent and extra 600won on 'Sekkom dekkom.' Was a full korean table for dinner though, so no food after work. So today I parted with 9200.
This is easy. To make this more interesting I might have to try 7k. I don't need to, but it could make it more interesting. |
