Relaxing is such a wonderful thing....I think

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 23:10:44 GMT

Well....Here I am, lounging around in my home watching dramas all day...and breaking my laptop in the process........

I watched (or re-watched) these series today.....

(Japanese)
Security Police
Fire Boys
Liar Game
Death Note 1 and 2
14 Sai no Haha

(Korean)
Terms of Endearment
How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor
Iljimae

I was struck, again, by the difference of mannerisms Asians and Americans had, and how they attempt to copy each other's traditions in their respective films. But, as an Asian-American myself, I should be able to balance these two traditions, right?

Just something that struck me as I was watching these.

Back from a (stressful) break

Hello, everyone~

Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I was teaching pre-school at a summer day camp and got kind of caught up in all the stress of planning a fun experience for a bunch of three- and four-year-olds.

Just to update on what I'm watching~

Korean
(Just finished) Iljimae
Strongest Chil Woo
Lawyers of the Great Republic of Korea
When It's At Night
Mom's Grown Horns

Japanese
Satomi Hakkenden
H2
Remote
The Battery

I'm going to start updating more often, because I'm going back to school in a month (yay! I attend University of Maryland and I'm proud of it!), and plus I have a month to laze around the house, watching dramas and prepping for the stressful Fall 2008 semester.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day. *^^*

.......

That was just too cheesy, wasn't it?

Summer vacation starts..........

Wed, 21 May 2008 23:28:23 GMT

Yay! ^^ Summer vacation has started!
So has the much anticipated show from SBS, Iljimae, starring Lee Jun Ki, Han Hyo Joo, Lee Young Ah, and Park Shi Hoo. I just watched the first episode, and my heart breaks for Lee Jun Ki's character. I will post a summary if requested.

Must go off and prepare for the summer!

Final Exams.....O.o;;

Fri, 02 May 2008 13:08:05 GMT

Final exams are just around the corner......

Why, oh why, did people ever invent final exams?!

But we all have to them, for the sake of higher education.

I'll be studying.........

The mountain just....gets bigger.....

At this rate, I'll never have the episodes and the synopses up on this blog............................

Well, here I am.......

Well, I just started my first blog.

.........

Well, nothing's happening, really.

Lee Myung Bak was inaugurated as the next South Korean president. He's pretty busy right now, seeing that his goal is to have all high schools be taught in English by the year 2010.

As a South Korean by blood and American by citizenship, I don't really understand the South Korean obsession to be just like America. The South Korean judicial system, too, is being switched to imitate the American court system in terms of trial; instead of the traditional three judges, a jury would determine the innocence--or the guilt--of the defendent.

However, I am just one person. I cannot really say for others.
