My dear,
How are you today? I feel very tired!
Yesterday I couldn’t fall asleep, even though we changed the clocks to winter
time. How did your surprising weekend trip go? I am waiting for photos!
Since yesterday I couldn’t post anything,
today will be the day to say some words that were intended for Sunday.
After the long post on Friday, which I
must confess, was written for several days, I felt exhausted. I consider making
the Neverending Sunday posts
optional, because it’s difficult to write something (even personal stuff) after
such long music Friday publications.
So, a little bit of what I have been doing
lately… Not so many great things happen to me, except that we were preparing
ourselves for the upcoming winter. Last week we had the firewood delivered to
our home and the weekend before I had to help granny with the flowers – we
usually put them in the basement, when the weather becomes really cold.

So, you can see that, apart from writing
about music and wise quotes, I couldn’t find some time to write about other
things. Even now I am writing from work and I will finish the post at home (I
wrote most of my latest posts during breaks,
because at home the only thing I can do is to edit them). And recently I have a lot of work to do in my
daily job, which is very tiring. Anyway,
I will stop complaining now.
Speaking about flowers, there is a new
addition to my collection of orchids! The fifth one (I call it the maknae, meaning “the youngest” in
Korean) is a mini-orchid with a deep purple colour, accompanied with some
leopard pattern in the middle.
You can’t see clearly the purple colour,
because my phone cannot catch it, as many cameras can’t as well. It is so tiny
and sweet! How could you resist this charm?! I hope that our home is not so
cold for the little one, because its petals will fall off.
Apart from the (mindless for some) flower
shopping, I found Korean cosmetics! I have long heard that there are some masks
in the DM store, but recently I found spare time (and money) to look for them.
And I must say, there are plenty to choose from!
As you can see, I bought
two types – a sheet mask with Korean red ginseng and under-eye mini sheet masks
with green tea. The ginseng mask, which is a bit expensive, is only one in the
package and I haven’t used it yet, but the under-eye treatment turned out to be
very good! There are 30 sheets, 15 for each eye and they are very easy to use.
Interesting
Article
My dear, last week I
happened upon a very interesting photo article on the BBC site. It shows some
very old photos from Shanghai. I personally liked the one with the wheelbarrow taxi
driver who disassembles his rig to avoid paying taxes for crossing the bridge
with his wheel. Clever
trick, haha!
Movies and Dramas
There is not so much to say about new
dramas at the moment. Recently granny and I concluded Coffee Prince, which is a very sweet (and
old) 2007 drama. The main actress, playing a girl disguised as a young man, was
very impressive. From all clichés that I have seen, this role felt very
suitable for her. The drama is very
light and funny and makes you feel comfortable. It is perfect to watch when you
have some time during the cold and rainy days.
Recently I began watching Scarlet Heart, which will end this week. Maybe I will write a review after
completing it, but for now I can only say that the music in the drama is the
one thing that still excites me the most. The story was interesting at first,
but now the plot is diluted and chaotic, weakening the whole concept, I think.
Apart from the good acting of some of the princes and older actors/actresses,
it feels like a teen – oriented drama, filled with famous idols (some who are
still learning how to act) just for the fan-service – a fact that can easily disappoint,
even though everyone seems so beautiful. Beauty is not always the main point
after all.
Speaking
of dramas, there is a movie I watched recently. It’s called Hot Young Bloods and it is very
energetic to watch. I personally wanted to see it, because of Lee Jong Suk at
first, but the whole acting team did an amazing job. The vibes I get remind me
a lot of Punch – another
coming-of-age movie, with another favourite actor, Yoo Ah-in. Well, I began
writing about one movie, but ended up praising two. Of course, I am not going
to compare these films; I will just recommend you to watch them both. You will
like the energy, the humour and the simple wisdom and truths about life, especially
in Punch.

Destination for Motivation
Dear,
there are so many places I want to visit in this world! Apart from my dream to
celebrate my birthday in Australia (not only because it matches Australia day,
but it is also summertime in January there), my eagerness exceeds to making travel my
way of life! I feel so alone some days; like a person with no connections and
no companion to share the same interests, like a person that lives in another
country. I sometimes feel more connected to things that happen abroad, than in
Bulgaria. I am not even a real patriot in my own country….
Anyway, today’s destination is a
place in South Korea that I saw in the first episode of the drama mentioned
above (Scarlet Heart). The place is Cheonjuho
Lake in Pocheon and, from what I have seen in the drama and Google, the
view is very beautiful!

Some Monday Music…
Dear, I
think that my admiration for BTS is growing with the speed of light! They
turned out to be very interesting and fun! The excitement I have for them these
days reminds me a lot of my first SHINee days. As an unofficial Shawol, now I
can say that I am turning also into
an ARMY. (Although I am using these labels only to express my fondness and
support for the groups, but I distinguish from both fandoms’ behavior.)
Here is a
song, released in 2015, which is sooo good to listen to! I also like the
choreography, the dance made me watch the whole video several times, can you
imagine that, haha! There is this sound in the chorus that reminds of Flo
Rida’s G.D.F.R. song, (which I know you didn’t like so much), but Dope has a lighter feeling that you will
definitely enjoy more!
So, that
was my Monday post. I am currently at home, finishing and editing this post and
I will probably read s few documents for tomorrow, because I have a lot of work
to do these days. It was a very long Monday…
Tomorrow my aunt and little cousin
will come for one night and two days to stay with us. No more K-pop for me,
only My Little Pony, hahaha!
Till
Wednesday, my dear!
Hugs,
R.
