COVID-19 Self-Test Kits After the omicron variant of the coronavirus became the dominant strain, there was a spike in the number of confirmed cases in Korea. Self-tests for COVID-19 were frequently called for. These self-test kits, also called rapid antigen tests, are available for purchase at pharmacies. After the Lunar New Year holiday, I used a self-test kit at home for the first time. I thoroughly washed my hands b..
Study Cafés I had always been curious about study cafés, so I recently paid a visit to one. As soon as I walked in, there was a ticket kiosk selling passes. It was an unmanned device. I chose a seat and how long I would use it, and settled the bill in advance. I was surprised to see that the study café offered anything you could imagine that might be used for studying. This included book stands, office supp..
Self-Maintenance I am 165cm tall, and I've kept my weight at around 52kg. Taking into consideration that I was born in 1978, my level of self-maintenance is pretty good. But I haven't been this way all my life. In fact, I've passed the 70kg mark four times. I was more into eating than studying in my senior year of high school, and I put on a lot of weight. I later lost 20kg during college. Then I got married and..
Traveling Virtually from Home Before the COVID-19 crisis, I traveled overseas at least twice yearly. After traveling that way for many years, overseas travel came to an abrupt stop because of the coronavirus. Searching online for plane tickets and planning trips to new destinations were part of my daily routine, but I couldn't do that anymore. To satisfy my thirst for traveling, I started watching travel-ralated content onli..
Literacy Since 2009, Korean reading skills in our country have taken a sharp downturn. This happens to coincide with the point when smartphones became widespread. Nowadays, many people have a hard time reading texts longer than about three lines. As a result, most news articles are produced in a card format. As people scroll through text, they often scroll more quickly than they can read. Plus, they can ..
Group Chats At first, it wasn't easy for me to strike up conversation with strangers in group chats. But I soon came to realize that, unlike other online communities, chatrooms enable real-time communication. This is a big plus. These days, I am active in several group chats. First, there are group chats for friends and family. There are also group chats for school parents, moms in our apartment complex, bo..
Book Clubs I have been part of a book club for 4 years now. We first met as the moms of our kids' neighborhood friends. But then we came to learn that we were all bookworms. Thanks to a can-do leader, we formed out club. We choose two books each month by a vote. We then read those books and have a discussion via online chat. We read all sorts of books, including novels, essays, the liberal arts, history, a..
Obtaining a National License I currently do work related to quality control in the quality department of our company. But 5 years ago, I also started getting involved in safety-related work. Since it was not my principal duty, my understanding of safety-related tasks was lacking. Improvements were slow to arrive. So one day, I took to heart the old saying that "you see what you know". I set my sights on a national license f..
