Yep, it's another Fried-day gentle readers, and you're probably ready to spout fire by now. Here's another hit at the Young Underpaid Professional's Corpo Dictionary, from Moanday to the Manicorn.
Do you know when Fried-day is? As functional and highly sarcastic Young Underpaid Professionals, we've come up with a Corpo Dictionary for all of you folks in the same soup as us. This is a completely open dictionary so feel free to send in your words and definitions. A word of warning though, personal attacks and offensive entries won't be posted for obvious reasons. Plus, come on people, it's easy to be hateful and critical, it's harder (and funnier) to be creative.
Last time, we discussed the basics of building a small business to augment your retirement fund. To recap, we discussed the requirements for starting a biz: time, capital, research, and balls. I assume that I didn’t have to say that like getting a part-time gig, you’ll also need to put in work into any business venture. Now for this income-boosting episode, we’ll discuss another law of commerce: the Laws of Economics. I know, I know. I’ve been throwing all these important-sounding laws around. Here are the two reasons why learning the laws of Economics are important: you’d need to keep ...
In this episode of the Yuppie Guide, we’ll discuss something that most yuppies consider going into for extra income. There are several ways with which to go about setting up a small business and there are several kinds of small businesses you can try out. That said, we’ll limit each option to 500 words and post it in parts so you don’t have to contend with ginormous walls of text. First things first; what is a small business?
Ever since Blizzard announced that they will be developing the long, long awaited sequel to StarCraft, I’ve sworn to replay the original game and the expansion, Brood War to refresh my memory. I just finished the replay and I was blown away again. It’s been a while since I first finished the real-time strategy game, and it’s also been a while since I last wrote about video games so please bear with this fangirl. Anyway, on to the replay.
I’ll admit, I thought I was all set for Valentine’s Day with the Rom-Com and Classics post but as random brain farts don’t usually follow a schedule, I’ll write this down now so my brain can get over what my friend Lei calls Barfintimes Day. Despite popular belief, Valentine’s Day isn’t only for lovers; it’s for singles too. It’s that time of the year when the phrase “singled out” takes a whole new different meaning. Attached friends look upon you with pity, and whatever you say can and will be taken against you and translated as bitterness. People like me ...
In light of the coming Hallmark-inspired non-holiday, I’ve busted out several sappy DVDs for a special singleton Valentine movie marathon. For the purposes of this marathon, I’ve decided to divide my viewing equally between the Rom-Com movies (romantic comedies) and the Classics. Arguably, the Rom-Com movies I have lined up can also be considered classics in their own right, but let’s not get into semantics.
Here’s the first part of the Yuppie Guide, the series where you’ll see your extra income options and weigh them accordingly. By this time, you should know that it takes real work to get from Point A (where you are right now) to Point B (where you want to be, preferably retired by 50) and there is some amount of risk with each option. For the first option we have, there is minimal risk and the only capital you’ll need is time and effort. It’s part-time work, people.
The title says it all and I know, I know, it’s incredibly ambitious. As yuppies (young underpaid professionals) it takes a certain amount of ambition to get to where you ultimately want to be. I’m sure most of you are wondering what “conquering the universe” means, and we’ll explore that in this series of articles. You see, I’ve interviewed a couple of young NOT-underpaid professionals and I’ve learned a thing or two about their world domination plans.
In the past four or so years, I’ve learned the importance of keywords. With keywords, you can get indexed in Google, thereby be found more often and grab the attention of readers. After years of practice, I’ve found that the only keyword that will get my friends really excited (no, not “Sony is dead”) is a four-letter word: Lobo.
Let’s admit it: La Corda D’oro chapter 68 wasn’t that exciting. It was freakin’ anticlimactic!!!
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, here’s our update: La Corda Chapter 69 is out! The scanlations haven’t been released yet, so we’ll have to content ourselves with the raws of Chapter 69. Leave us a comment and we’ll get back to you with the link. Hopefully, the scanlations turn up soon. 
Yep. If you wanna see (note: I didn’t say “read”) what happens to Hino after that incident in Chapter 67, then you should probably look at these raws. Yep, definitely. Just leave a comment and I’ll get back to you with the links.
*Sigh*
As some of you may have noticed already, La Corda D’oro manga scanlations (as well as other popular licensed manga) have been taken down from mangafox.com and MangaToshokan, among many other providers of manga scans. This is due to mounting legal pressures from the publishers of several serialized manga.
Ladies and gents, La Corda D’oro Chapter 67 is out! I’ve seen the raws (and you will too in a tiny bit). I’m only at page 6 of this chapter, and I’m already feeling that *something* is going to happen. (Come on, Tsuchiura-kun, I’m rooting for you!).
There are three lessons I learned from this entire ordeal: I hate hospitals in general, I <3 nurses, and I hate getting cut up. Oh, and throw in the fact that I should go for check-ups more often.
How the whole thing started
It started two weeks before I got admitted to the hospital (but I didn’t know back then, of course). There was unbearable pain in my abdominal area and stomach so I was brought to the hospital’s ER. After some inconclusive tests, the pain was passed off as “acute gastritis”. The doctor said I shouldn’t eat oily or acidic food and just fart out the pain. Seriously, he said that. So after taking gastritis medication and maybe farting out the pain (I’m really not sure if I did that), it disappeared. I was even able to go with my peeps and frolic in Lobo because the pain was “gone”.
Two days later, the pain was back and I found myself back in the ER.

Moanday. According to the Overlord herself, Moanday is the day of the week when you moan that you don’t want to go to work. You moan through breakfast that you will come down with the flu at any second (you even try a few coughs to hurry it along), you moan while waiting for the FX, and you moan all the way to the office. At the office, you find that your friends are moaning along with you, filling the entire floor with wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Honestly, I personally have minimal knowledge of things La Corda d’Oro / Kin’iro no Corda so for my own sake, I’m going to refrain from giving an opinion or summary about the release. With Rica on sick leave, you’ll have to figure things out for yourself as well. La Corda Chapter 66 can be found in the usual place, and if you leave comments below, I’ll happily point you in the right direction.
It’s been a while since I’ve watched a Korean drama, the last one that I watched wasn’t that interesting to me. I’m not actively watching dramas may it be Taiwanese, Korean or even locally-made ones. I tend to be picky on what to watch because I’m tired of those rehashed plots that are boring for me. Like Autumn’s Concerto, I accidentally got into watching this drama as well. I’m not really looking for something to watch but then Personal Preference’s plot seemed interesting so I’ve decided to give it a try. more…
After patiently waiting for a full month for the scans of the next chapter, La Corda D’oro Chapter 65′s raw scans are finally out!
Heathens! Impious! Wicked! Yes, yes, sure. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get to the heart of this post.
