Anyonghaseyo!
This is my third blog so far, hmm.. What can I say?
Perhaps I can tell you more about my hobbies and what's keeping me busy lately.
Since I was in senior high, I started getting hooked with Asian Dramas, Korean specifically.Since then, I became obsessed with the country, its people, culture and of course its music.
Variety/Reality Show:
Summer last year(2008), I went back to Doha for my vacation. While I was there, I saw this K-news about a show called 'We Got Married'. I tried to looking for videos of this show in mysoju(dot)com and Hurray! I found them. When I started watching, I couldn't stop. I'll spend almost 24hrs watching it, getting excited on what will happen on the next episode and I was getting scolded as well for not eating meals because of it. I got hooked and when I finished the series, I started looking for other Korean shows through the internet. As far as I can remember, I have watched Korean Variety shows like Xman, Strong Heart, We Got Married, 10,000 Won of Happiness, Family Outing, Infinity Challenge,2ne1/Bigbang/GD/YG TV, Champagne, and Good Daddy. My favorite shows are WGM and FO. :)
Currently watching: MNet Scandal
Dramas:
One of my favorite drama is from SBS, 'You're Beautiful starring Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye. Since summer last year, I've got lots of time to watch dramas. For instance, 'Take Care of the Young Lady' and 'Boys Before/Over Flowers'. If you can visit my Notes page in my FB account, you can see there a list of the K-Dramas I've watched since time in memorial :))
Movies:
Movies! of course movies! My favorite actor and the one I adore so much as of now is Jang Seun Seok-oppa! His a great actor, singer, model and a dancer as well. With his baby-face, he never fails to make us blush. Fighting-oppa! (well okay, that was weird, anyways..)
Movies..movies..movies.. My favorite movie? Hmm.. I think not everyone would definitely agree with me but one movie made my heart move for a couple of minutes, making me cry and cry with pain inside my heart. I felt the pain from the characters in this movie. What is it?
It's a movie called 'DoReMiPaSolRaSiDo' starring Jang Geun Seok. It was a movie released in 2006 or 2007. There are lots of Korean Movies that I have watched through the internet specially when I have free time to spare. Here are some great movies.
*Going Crazy Waiting/The Longest 24 Months
*Baby and Me
*Antique Bakery
*Hello Schoolgirl
*Jeni/Juno
*My Sassy Girl (epic)
Kpop!
Who wouldn't love Kpop if you're addicted to Koreans?
It's kind of weird that I removed old songs in my player and entered Kpop songs that almost reached a hundred and counting. Most of the songs I love are from BIGBANG, 2NE1, 2pm, Super Junior, SNSD, 4Minute, FT Island, SHINee, ss501 and many more.
Food:
I've been spending time this year searching for Korean food that can suit my appetite. Last year, I've learned to make Kimbap (bap-rice;kim-seaweed) It's that rice rolled in kim with stuff like avocado, crab meat, egg, or tuna inside. I tried hard looking for Korean Grocery stores just so I can make my own Kimbap. This year is kind of good for me because I've been seeing Korean food sold in big supermarkets near our place like SMF and Shopwise. Three weeks ago, I started buying 'ramyun' (ramen-kimchi flavor) and 'Jjajjangmyun'. Jjajjangmyun didn't really suit my taste that much but it's fine. Before heading home, I was at the grocery near the station and found ready-to-eat kimchi there. I'm planning to learn how to make kimchi on summer. (Fingers-crossed!) :)
Language:
Hahaha! You might be laughing seeing this part. Yup! I can't get enough of these stuff that I'm learning their language as well. I bought a book with simple korean phrases/sentences and currently I'm enrolled in an on-line site where they teach korean in a reasonable cost. I'm still enjoying their free audio lessons and by summer, my mom allowed me to enroll formally so I could learn better.
Well that's about it! My hobby and addiction for the moment :)
Weird, but Hey! It's fun! :)
Kamsamnidda! Anyong! :D
