New Kdrama 2012
Opening the year not yet ending one Korean Drama I started, Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, because it's nearly done and I'm not ready for the story to be over! So having the worst tolerance for ending stories I deeply enjoy, I delay the ending like regularly until I'm tired of waiting and wondering what happens. By that time i'm usually half way into another drama, anime, or done with a movie or two to throw me off track.
So with the opening of 2012, the Kdrama used to hold off F.B.R.S so far has been incredibly awesome! It's irrelevantly called 'What's Up?', but it's proven so far to be exactly what's up. I totally ran into it by chance, but DO NOT regret because It's a drama I have wanting for a while. A drama where serious over acting, ridiculous aegyo, sappy cliche love, and unrealistic situations that Kdramas usually dish out doesn't exist. Thank the Heavens! I was not expecting something so great and intense!! Gosh this show is emotionally intense! In a good way~ :3
I was attracted to this drama because of the typical 'performing arts school students and their dreams trying to make it in the industry' storyline that I enjoyed in other dramas like Dream High, or have heard about in so many others. What's Up? also has lead roles from top idols like Daesung from Big Bang and such. So like a fan I had to check it out and see what else my idols are good at~ ^^ ahaha ♥ But this story is completely new and compelling on it's own, with a lot of realistic drama, background stories and their development during the show. These characters consist of gangsters and thugs, abandoned children with secret lives, drunken teachers, drop outs, traditional cruel senior students, mysteriously cool students, murderers, child prodigies, fighters, actual celebrities, people running from the police, women with hard lives, all brought together with violence, screaming, fucked up situations, death, music, dance, acting, talent, harsh teachers, illegal actions and team spirit! All in the span of only 5 episodes into the drama!! DAMN I'M SOLD. I mean first of all, just alone by not being that typical cheesy, warm, weak, Kdrama, this show is A-mazing. I mean when people want to be mean in this drama, oh they're really cruel and blunt. They don't play around in none of the situations. But they still have the sweet innocence in some characters you'll find in your everyday kdrama, buuuut, everything is real and not over acted. Every ounce of this drama so far is very close to real life to me, which is usually NOT what Kdramas are, to be fruitfully honest. Yes there are some sloppy developments in the story so far; Some stories or events you forget about due to other circumstances coming along and taking you to a new story, or another story not being finished off before then; however, the characters and stories are so interesting, plus the events you know have to happen and be revealed later keeps you watching patiently~ Only 5 episodes in and already I'm this pleased. I don't know, maybe I'm biased, blinded by all the bad ass bluntness and charisma these characters have I'm not use to in Kdrama or something. Either way, I watch with much anticipation, and recommend this drama wholeheartedly ^^

Events after school..
So! I haven't got a job yet but that is indeed what I need to be doing this summer, if not trying to find some kind of way to get a head start on Japanese lessons.
So here's some crap I did do while doing nothing since school ended.
May 31st I went to my friends graduation at the dome, and saw the most inspiring people for fashion.. and oh.. the highlight.. they were all hot and pretty *squee* x3 So because of that I got really inspired to use some ideas and clothing I got from them and make some drawings of some male clothing ideas I had. I started on 5 of my ideas already.. those of which ended up adding in some female clothing idea as well.. x] Back to the graduation, after screaing inside, to waiting outside in the hot sun, we went out for Japanese at Benihana, then went laptop shopping for her.
June 1st Had been planning to go to a graduation party/ barbecue at a local park, but found out the girl having it was the wrong person from a totally different school.... went anyway, lol!! Saw other people I knew from that school, blah blah blah, along with some of my classmates.. stayed there for like 4 hours. Ate, mingled, ended up stealing an hour of some kids childhood by barging our way in on the playground while they were away, LOL. The jungle gym, the swings, the monkey bars, and this miniature merry-go-round thing that nearly took my youth, haha. Had a blast being a kid. No better time to be a kid than at someone else's grad party, lmao~
June 6th Had an adventure with my friend Kai. So, i've road the train with experienced friends before, but I never have with someone inexperience, which is basically like riding alone. I call that an adventure, because it's like doing a road trip not knowing where you're going.. the same thing we did with the train, lol. So! First we went to a clothing store in the city and got clothes, then a nearby candy store and bought some taffy, some truffles and some maple with pecans in it.. oh it was heavenly.. then we caught the train to our next destination, a shopping area far north of town called Little Five Points. There's a lot of nice strip store and flea markets there.. and nice eateries too. So first we got lost, got on the wrong train, had to go back and we finally made it, almost missed the train.. and omg, i nearly got stuck in the doors D: It was a frightening experience. So we finally get to the station on that side of town, but we don't know what bus to catch.. we finally find out and get there, then we're in heaven all over again. I'm talking about, this place was a small Eden for shoppers. lol. So we nearly hit up all the store. And they had a lot of vintage stuff, which I adore. I'm so mad I never took pictures.. just one. Anyway, so we finally go eat. We eat at this dinner type place where they're famous for ice cream. I got a patty melt out of this world xS So, a full stomach later, we wait for like 40 mins for a bus, meet a cool tourist lady that ended up helping us. :D She was nice. Um.. got to the station and went to our last destination, Atlantic Station, another outside all. lol. Went to 3 outside malls throughout the city. Um.. did nothing there really but scope out relaxing places to chat after seeing nothing interesting to buy.. except like 3 things. Um.. ate seasoned shrimp, looked at the over priced jewelery fair they had going on there. Sad thing, I saw A LOT of things I wanted to buy, but the prices were way too jacked up. I was so sad after that :( Um... after that, we were about to catch a bus back to the station but we would of waiting forever so we ended up walking. Met this real urban afro sentric college chick while waiting. She was awesome. She got us to walk with her. We all clicked really nice. She ended up riding the train with us until her stop. She worked in Atlantic Station. Told us to visit her some time, so I shall ^^ Um.. got home, ate Italian, lol.. attempted to do Kai's hair, failed, said we'd try again tomorrow. Crashed out of pain and exhaustion of being on our feet, running around for 11 hours. :O Next day, stopped by the park and chilled after walking AGAIN to the store for hair stuff. Got home, started on her hair. When we finished we got our day cut short because she had to leave early. We were suppose to make cupcakes and watch Battle Royale (one of the best Japanese thrillers) then do a mini photo shoot. Ugh.. oh bother. Took like 4 pics super rushed just to say we did. Not to mention watching the movie while doing it, lol.
From June 8th-Today Umm.. been killing myself slowly staying up until the next day's afternoon fueling only on Korean and Japanese media, peanut butter and banana open face sandwiches and water. lol. Seriously..
Um.. saying that in detail, I've finished Japanese Drama Absolute Boyfriend, anime Soul Eater and Ouran High School Host Club, caught up from being way behind on Bleach, um.. started re watching anime Blue Gender, started watching Japanese movie Last Quarter, finished part one of Korean Variety show Mnet Scandal with Nichkhun, and watched two long episodes of another Korean Variety show Idol Army. Been through a HUGE phase of FANDOM with new hot Korean boy group 2PM.. after that finally settled a bit, switched over to Korean B5 group SHINee on whom I now favor.. not over 2PM, never, but I'm into them now.. um.. been through kpop music like there's no tomorrow.. listening to great groups and adding new songs to my mp3 player. Watched yet another Korean variety show, Intimate Note, with guests Big Bang. *sigh* Did I mention my nights have been sleepless?? Um.. recently joined like a Japanese version of Deviant Art but way better as it's only for pros.. had to maneuver my way into getting on there.. since I can't read a lick of Japanese.. but it's worth it. Um yea.. spend time lost in translation on there.. and yea.. all that Asian goodness.
