The look

You know how sometimes when you say like you like this singer or that actor or that band, people will give you "the look". The condescending look like how could you like this person/ thing/ song. Yeah, I am sure most have received that look. In fact I am sure that I myself have previously given the look to others. And when you receive that look, you'd be like (i) defending your fav or (ii) feeling embarrassed for not "keeping up to trend". I, unfortunately, fall in the second category. I get highly embarrassed and will never mention that ever again. Although that doesn't mean that I have stopped loving whatever is it I am loving. Over the years, I have kept a lot of my favorite artist/actor/idol locked up tight in my heart, not sharing with anyone except close friends ~but sometimes even the close friends are capable of hurting your likes and dislikes~ Now, I still keep them close in my heart, but it is not because I am embarrassed, its more like I couldn't be bothered to share with you if you continue to diss them, and it is not worth the heartache. We all have our reasons for liking (or disliking) someone or something, and if you are not agreeable, just respect the other peoples' choice!

So, to conclude let me share with you actor/singers/idols/band that I have loved throughout my life (and mind you, some of them I still love)

1. Tommy, my first love, from the Power Rangers (I know this is just a character, but still people look at me like, how old are you? you watched Power Rangers? etc. I love watching Tommy, and the other rangers as well, now and then I still watch old series on youtube)
2. Aragorn, my second love, from Lord of the Rings (Yeah, yeah, no one ever judges me for loving him or the Lord of the Rings. The movie is that awesome)
3. Gong Yoo, after coffee prince, it was not only the character, but the his acting skills in that drama, that made me fall for him, of course he is not perfect, some of his drama aren't that great, but he can act
4. Kamenashi Kazuya, from KAT-TUN. Honestly, I don't think I have ever liked anyone this much. I first saw him in a drama, his acting, his micro-emotions just had me done. From there, I grew to love KATTUN too. Now I love everyone from KATTUN. (Here is where I get the terrible look, its just another idol band, who can't sing, whose members can't act, and the list goes on. You know, no, you actually don't know, but its okay for you to not know, as long as you aren't coming to face, and insulting me and my taste.)\

Hahaha.. So that's all for today. Tune in sometime soon. Au revoir

Someone asked me, why am i so addicted to korean dramas?

I guess many addicts like me would say:

1) so many handsome (flower or non flower) boys and man

2) funny and heart tugging stories

I was no a big movie/drama watcher, the most i used to watch was the weekly Macgyver series, CSI, NCSI, Criminal Minds, so on. Even when I used to watch korean dramas those days (winter sonata, autumn in my heart) I never really got addicted. So, why today I am labelled as a korean drama addict?

I don't think it's merely the actors or the story itself, it's more than that, it is what connects with me. What feels like it has everything to do with me. The truth I don watch all korean dramas, but just a selectively few ones that I watch repetitiously. in fact, the first drama I ever got addicted to was not a korean drama, it was a latin drama "yo soy betty la fea". It was one drama that hit very close to home. At that age, suffering from low esteem, I felt like Betty, the ugly one, everyday I had to sit and watch her grow, watch her pain, because most of the times I felt like that. With Betty, I had hope perhaps one day someone would love me for who I am and not what I look like.

Then, there was a gap where I hardly got addicted to anything. Until, one day when I turned 24, I watched "coffee prince". Again, the theme was about the same, it gave me hope. But I grew wiser, I knew that happy endings only happen in books and movies and dramas, not in real life. So, I just watched because the actors and the actresses did an excellent job at acting.

At 25, when I suffered from loneliness, and a period of so much confusion, heartache, pain, and so much of the unknown, I become officially addicted to korean dramas. They were the ones who got rid of my misery and unhappiness. I watched for hours and hours, with my pillow and blanket, a bowl of noodles, a cup of milo, a tin of biscuits, locked up in my room, watching and rewatching the dramas that made me laugh, again and again. There is one in particular, " You're beautiful", a sensational hit around the world, that really captured me, just because that was when i was truly lost and in pain. I hid myself into their world, a world where there was Hwang taeKyung, and I only. Until today, I still have to thank Jang Geun Suk-shi for that time, because i would have collapsed without him (of course, there were my friends and family as well). But my point is that the drama became my fantasy land, whenever I had problems, issues, all i needed to do was to switch on my laptop and watch those I love. Immediately, I was transported into a world without pain, without hurt.

These days, I still watch k-dramas, not as addicted as I was last two years, but I choose what I watch, only watching those that are funny and interesting. I still wait for the latest episodes to be uploaded, watching with chinese subs first, then with english subs. But no where near to the craziness i felt two years ago.

So, will I ever leave K-dramas to themselves and spend more quality time with people I love? I guess not, btw, i only spend like 16hours (not even a day) watching the whole drama!!!
