Tuesday was like any other day. I mostly spent it at work and nothing really noteworthy went on. I just passed my usual time. After work, I made the decision to go to BGC so I could eat at Samgyupsalamat. I remembered that I would treat myself to samgyup once March rolled around and it was a thing I've been waiting on since February. I was able to commute there okay, I got seated, I just watched some music videos that played on the TV while eating. Sadly, it was mostly Twice music videos and it showed nothing from ILLIT or LE SSERAFIM. But it was fine, I noticed a few changes with regards to the setup of the tables. There's like a tower-rack-thing now where you could put the dishes on. And they apparently changed the grill design, too, which looked alright. I finished around 7 or so plates of beef? I lost count. But it's kind of a lot, to be honest, but it was good since I only ate breakfast today and had some of those Yakisoba noodles from yesterday.

After that, I just had a bit of a walk alone to think and talk to myself about a few things like where my life should go, and all that stuff. I know I look like a total weirdo talking to myself in English while I'm outside. But I'm wearing earbuds so I guess it looks like I'm talking to someone on the phone. Maybe I should buy AirPods so it looks more realistic, but generally I didn't give a shit if people were looking at me or if people noticed that I was eating alone. I walked around a bit to buy some antacids because I know my stomach is going to act up later. I then made the usual, long trip to Starbucks on 32nd Street and just hung out there for a while. I also tried out their new strawberry mochi matcha drink, which was pretty nice. While I was here, I kind of missed having a MacBook here to code on or just browse the web with. I really missed those nights wherein I'd just bring the Mac and code/work outside. Since it was kind of disappointing, I just computed how long it would take me to save up for a MacBook and apparently it would be 6-7 months or so for the spec that I wanted. I generally agreed and booked a ride home.

I got home safe, browsed IG, and talked to my sister for a bit. I also started out planning my upcoming expenses for the next month and it is a shocker. I even had to recalculate the time it'd take for me to save up for a MacBook. But it's fine, I promised myself that I'd get my own MacBook this year and I plan to achieve that goal.
