Crappy Summer + Asian Dramas; hitting me hard in the feels!

What's up, everyone?

I've signed in about a dozen times, but I've been so unmotivated to make any posts. I just saw Alikiya's post today, and I figured it's about time I do something semi-productive.

So the last month and a half has been pretty hectic, in a way. My family lost someone very close, and there was just a whole lot to do with hospital visits and funeral preparations. It's all good now, but then other stuff started coming up, and let's just say that everyone was pissed at everyone for a fair amount of time.

Anyways, luckily, I have some little things here and there to keep my spirits up! As Alikiya mentioned, B2ST and EXO are back, and they're two of my favourite groups. f(x) is also back, and I'm loving their album. If anyone wants to purchase it for me, message me and I'll give you my address. I'm really loving "Rum Pum Pum Pum", "Shadow", "Goodbye Summer", and "Airplane".

As for Asian dramas, I just recently finished watching "Lucky Seven" and "Dating Agency: Cyrano". Both of them were really good, light-hearted dramas. Nothing too serious, or anything that will tug at your heart. If you're into the detective/comedy drama, then I really recommend "Lucky Seven". Eita, who plays Nitta in the drama, was such an awesome actor. It was the first time I watched one of his dramas, and now I'm such a fan. Thinking of watching other dramas with him later on.

Cyrano was the second K-drama that I ever finished. It was really, really cute. That, or I just haven't watched romance dramas in a long time. I think Sooyoung was pretty darn awesome, and for those people who judge dramas that star idols, I think that Sooyoung will really change your mind about that! Also, Hong Jong-hyun was amazing as well. I saw him first in "Wild Romance" a little while back, and I hated his character and his acting seemed boring. Then, I think it was also him in 2NE1's music video recently, which was really awkward too. BUT he was so qt in this drama, so yes, I recommend everyone to watch it if you haven't already!

So, after Cyrano, I took a little break 'cause I sat on my ass for days watching that drama, and I seriously think there were some serious health issues after that, LOL.

I started watching "I Hear Your Voice" a couple days ago, and I'm currently on episode 14. Since my online course has started, I'm taking a two day break to get going on my assignment before I continue the drama.

LET ME JUST TAKE A MOMENT OUT OF THIS POST TO JUST DHGFKJSDFHKSD. LIKE EVERYTIME I WATCH THAT DRAMA, I FEEL MY HEART JUST FALLING OUT MY ASS EITHER FROM SRS HEART BREAKING OR I JUST CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO HANDLE THE LEE JONG SUK. LIKE SWEET BABY JESUS, DOES HE KNOW HE'S SO FINE? LIKE WHAT???? AND HIS CHILDHOOD STORY.. THE FEELS. THE FEELS. AND MOMMA JANG'S DEATH.. I - MY HEART. -CLUTCHES CHEST- AND LIKE PARK SOO HA IS GONNA BE THE DEATH OF ME. REALLY. HE'S SO PERFECT. LIKE, IF I WAS A BIT OLDER, JUST LET ME EXIST IN YOUR WORLD AND BE YOUR NOONA. 

Even though I'm constantly recommending dramas to Alikiya, it's actually been a while since I sat down and watched dramas for myself. I had a really long phase back in middle school where I was super into J-dramas and NEWS (especially Yamapi) and so I literally watched every J-drama I could. Hana Yori Dango, 1 Liter of Tears, Nobuta wo Produce, Dragon Zakura, Kurosagi, Proposal Daisakusen, Yukan Club, and so much more. I also watched a ton of Taiwanese dramas like Smiling Pasta, Bull Fighting, Romantic Princess, etc. And if anyone knows me, I also watch TVB (Hong Kong) dramas on almost a daily basis. But ever since high school, I've really slowed on dramas, and I was just really busy with school life and just watching short stuff on Youtube.

Anyways, now I'm right back where I started and I think "I Hear Your Voice" is a big part of the reason. Words can't even describe how good the series is. The plot is so interesting, and if anyone knows me, I'm a big sucker for detective/law/psychological thriller type dramas. Plus, when you throw in a cute side-romance story with a perfect, good-looking Korean boy... welp, I'm basically set.

CAN I BE YOUR NOONA?
LET ME HAVE THOSE LITTLE KISSES.
LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL.

How does this guy make looking bruised and bloody so hot?

If they could just stop zooming in on his face...
Yeah, that'd be nice.
This face is why I got nightmares a couple days ago.

Anyways, my friend also recommended me to watch: Reply 1997, Ghost, Sign, and School 2013. I'm gonna trust her on this since she's the reason I watched Cyrano and "I Hear Your Voice". She totally gets my taste in dramas.

Uh, aside from all that, I've also gotten into Tyler Oakley. I knew about his channel before, but I never subscribed, but recently some of his video collaborations have me laughing so hard, I almost cry. Check out these:

Other than all that, everything else about my summer has been a bust. I was supposed to get a job, but that failed epically because no one wants to hire me. Most likely due to the fact that I have zero experience. Ironic thing is... how am I supposed to get experience if no one is hiring me!? But anyways, I'm hoping I'll be able to find a job for co-op when I head back to school next month.

Speaking of co-op, the course has officially started for me. It's online, and my first assignment is to make a bomb resume. Unfortunately, that means I have to actually start working when I'm on the computer as opposed to watching my dramas or scrolling to hundreds and hundreds of Tumblr pages. I guess it's a good way to get me out of the rut that I've been for the past 4 months though.

Anywho, I'm off to continue making my resume.

I'll sign off with some lovely photos of these three perfect men:

What Is Up World!?! -Waves Hands-

How goes life people of the Internet? How am I? Well, one would think that due to my lack of posts on here, I have been extremely busy with life. Alas, that is not the case, well... not really the case.

This summer, I'm learning to drive. Let me tell you... I SUCK at right hand turns. I don't even know why. My instructor doesn't know why. My parents just don't understand WHY. My dad's actually so confused, he came back today after I drove around the city and was like, "See, most people have issues with left turns, and yet you have no problem. But your right turns are horrific." Basically every time I have to turn right, I scare everyone in the car, and likely those surrounding it, shitakeless. Pro Asian driving man /partofthestereotype.

I have also been posting regularly on my book review blog (a miracle, I must add). It's been great getting back to it and I hope (and PRAY) that I'll manage to keep it up through the school year. 'Cause it would suck if it just dies again because I lack time and initiative... Anyways, check it out if you're into books, or like reading stuff by someone who's obsessed with them ;)

This year, I've taken it upon myself to watch a number of dramas. I've finished Smiling Pasta, One Litre of Tears, Secret Garden, and am part way through The Queen of SOP. I'm thinking of starting Lucky Seven which stars Matsujun, or get into School 2013, High Kick: Revenge of the Short-Legged, or I Hear Your Voice purely to see Lee Jong Suk, because he was beautiful and sassy in Secret Garden (which I highly recommend by the way). Anyways, we'll see how that goes. Might also get into Dating Agent: Cyrano 'cause Dee recommended it (she also recommended two of the others listed).

What else have I been doing... watching a lot of YouTube videos, that's not unusual, but I'm doing it more now that school's off. I've been stalking a number of B2ST performances. Can I just take a moment to mention that Hyunseung looks amazing with his hair white? HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL ~~ 

Also, I've been loving all of EXO's new songs for their repackaged album.

And I've been loving all the videos Max Schneider, Kurt Schneider, and others have been posting ~

asdfghjkl they're so goooooooood -flails-

Hmm, I've also been doing a lot of jewellery making and fixing. I'm hoping to maybe sell some of my stuff one day, HOPING, but doubting I'll ever get to it...

So, people of the earth, tell me, how have all your summers been going ? :D
