Fast-track to the present!

Woah! Can't believe it's been weeks since my last post here! The days just seemed to fly by so quickly. Many things have also happened in the span of those days, though none of them terribly notable.

First off, the thing that has kept me very busy the past weeks is finally over. I didn't get a high grade in my proposal but I'm just glad all the editing and revising and meeting with the adviser is now over. I even got an embarrassing allergy attack during the final day of submission, ugh! So glad I passed the class though!

Second, Gunter's grandmother being in the hospital after a major surgery has made me a little attention-seeky. I know I should be more accommodating but I guess it's just because I feel like i'm getting whatever time he has left over. I want his grandma to get better though. She's a cutie :)

Lastly, as for the shows that I'm watching I've decided that I'm not gonna be a martyr and slave away waiting for another The Heirs episode. The show, which is slated to have 20 episodes, is now at episode 11 so I'm just gonna wait for all of the episodes to come out. Of course, being me, I've set my gaze on a 90s cartoon by MTV called Daria. I'd post more about it when I can.

But for now I'm just gonna sit here and mull on the fact that today is the last day of my semestral break. Tomorrow is officially the first day of classes for me at uni and I'm. Just. Too. Excited. I. Can't. Hold. It. In.

/admits to sarcasm while I bitchslap myself. ugh.

Running With Scissors: DIY Ladder Weave Shirt

I'm not one for tedious DIYs, especially in clothes. Perhaps it's me being a lazybutt, or I don't want to be caught dead in a tacky poorly-made DIY shirt because I just don't have the skill to produce something pretty. This shirt, which I have thrifted from a flea market, was my victim for today. I really feared for the worst, and I ended up struggling with how I wanted the ladder to look like but I think this is fair enough. I wouldn't want a huge ladder with lots of holes on my back while I'm out on a chilly night.

He Who Wears The Crown, Bears The Crown

I have been wanting to watch this particular Korean drama ever since news of it first broke out. I wasn't able to get on Boys Over Flowers (a similar drama) so I'm glad I enjoyed this one thoroughly. The story is similar in many ways like Boys Over Flowers and vastly different too. 

We have a bunch of rich kids that have all arranged themselves in a strict hierarchy, a girl who is an heir to "poverty" and elder characters who have their own hierarchical issues to deal with. The difference is that, while the main male character in BoF is an ice king turned gentleman, The Heirs' Kim Tan is first presented as a mild-tempered exiled second-son. There may be more to his character than what has been presented in the first six episodes though. Coincidentally, both main male characters in BoF and The Heirs is played by one actor, Lee Minho.

Performance-wise, Park Shinye and Lee Minho have chemistry so that enables them to act more fluidly. I can't really tell with the others yet, since I think six episodes (and this is the first time I've seen them all act) is tad too short to make a comment about their acting and characterization. The music used is very good too! I'm enjoying Lee Hongki's Love Is... a lot. I hope they release a full OST soon!

Six episodes in and I can't wait for more!
