Still not reached 3115k - and 10 days left for 19th of April

Well, i didn't stepped out of house for whole march and this time around i guess should go and look around. Empty streets do look beautiful.

Hectic week - I burn more energy than i consume. This time gonna taste Peanut Butter - yup that small talk of 2020.

Tried Camel Milk - what taste

Wanna try lima milk as well as Oat Milk.

Coconut water+ milk still taste the best. Better eat coconut. Coconut cake.

Would like to try lama milk too.

Hello! What's been up lately?
I'm a little down with anxiety and uncertainty but I'm generally fine.
How are all of you?

Warner Brothers Studios announced this week that it will not go back to the traditional theaters first release model until some time in 2022. It will continue to release on the same day its films in limited theaters and on its streaming platforms. This means that theater chains will have two full years of massive business losses. Also, it does not mean that studios will change their minds to give up PPV new releases on their streaming platforms.

It does mean that WB and other studios will be holding back their big action, franchise movie releases for another year. By pushing back 2020 and 2021 releases to 2022 and 2023, it means that there will be a back log of film inventories . . . which means less and less new projects getting green lit and filmed in the next two years. That will have a significant ripple effect throughout the industry, including on actors and production crews. Investors will be wary of paying for a film project in 2021 with just a mere hope it can be shown in theaters in 2023.

happy friday beanies!
life has been pretty eventful the past two weeks-- heard back from all the colleges i applied to with some good news, and now i'm just trying to make decisions. at the same time, school and the world is getting more stressful, but the things that are getting me through everything are the good friends I've made this year and dramas!!

i think navillera has officially brought me out of my drama slump-- i will most likely be caught up today. i was binging AOY pretty well until the show brought up a kidnapping plot, which i did not expect in such a sweet show. i finished MA two weeks ago and am so happy with it.

these slice of life dramas are definitely my favorite ones because of the warmth and comfort they give me, but i don't just find comfort in happy scenes. i keep thinking about han yeri's plotline in AOY-- her performance is so amazing and makes me want to cry with her. slice of life dramas make me feel like i am part of the screen and the character's lives. all the news in the past month has been getting to me to the point where i just stopped checking most of my social media. diving into dramas is what kept me sane last year too.

i advise everyone to take breaks from the news every now and then and check in with yourself mentally-- social media is good to stay connected with people and it's important to know what's happening in the news, but for me personally, it gets super draining seeing my Instagram feed or stories full of just terrible things. and as always, i hope you guys have a good weekend and may it be peaceful-- and enjoy spring ◡̈

love and hwaiting,
shachi <3

Bad news : the pollen is back 😢

Good news : I have a new PC \o/ ( it wasn't really a planned purchase but the sound did not work very well anymore on the last one)

Good morning!
Navillera – what a lovely paced story that is so engaging! I almost cried when Chae-Rok opened the fridge and found homemade dishes with notes from Deok-Chul. I’ve finished ep 3 so far.

Hello, Me! is fun – but I’m scared for what will happen when the two Ha Nis must part ways.

Oh Master – I love Lee Min-Ki (déjà vu with the truck of doom, SUFFB all over again except he is still in ep 2 this time around), And Na Na! It’s like watching them be themselves and not acting. Really, I have a crush/crush watching them, 50-50 split down the middle. The writers could have thrown in Il Woo as The Scheduler, though, wouldn’t that have been genius?

So, I’m pretty happy in kdramaland this week with fresh shows that I’m liking.

After the “failure” episode with Rain and his boy group on Master in the House, I’ve been afraid to watch the failure themed episodes after that. I hated the set up and the stress of it all. I deem the theme a failure.

I’ve been doing some painting and sketching. It’s too cold to think about spring planting yet – canyon winds are the worst – I am always tricked into looking at plants, only to remember that every single year without fail I can’t plant until the last week in May because the temps drop low at night. Have a great weekend and stay safe beanies!

I don't know what it is about me, that every celebrity I really like ends up being involved in some type of controversy...the fact is that these issues either are not their fault or should not even be considered a problem in the first place! :(
Entertainment should be fun, but I end up even more stressed instead (as if real life wasn't enough)!
This has been bothering me for quite some time, it seems like I can't escape it :/

These days I'm trying to read more, instead..almost 0 risk of getting too attached to people that might get on the bad side of knetz (or cnetz, or any other netizen..) one day or the other ><

..end of sad rant -.-

Amused to check my notifications and see that someone has been slogging thru the recaps of Bride of the Water God.

😱

I always find it a bit sad when I go thru old comments and see how many names there were who I haven't seen recently. Did so many people drop out of kdramaland?

Meanwhile --- wasn't the true Bride of the Water God the FL of Alhambra? :)

Really, Sisyphus? The finale was so bad, I felt like I wasted 16 hours of my life.

I like Navillera even when there were times when I thought certain scenes were unnatural, but overall I still like it a lot.

I hope people in my country and I will get the vaccines soon. It doesn’t look very likely that this will happen soon, but I hope it’s coming. And please can we get the brands other than AstraZeneca? I heard that it has worse side effects and can’t protect you from the African variant. You can correct me if I’m wrong.

Apart from those things, I’m glad we got a bit of rain this week. The weather has been so hot, and the sweat makes me feel uncomfortable.

Something to better my mood: Babana milk (one banana blended with a cup of milk and a cup of cold water) I learnt this recipe from a Korean kitchen block and has been making it fir some time now. 🥛 🍌 😊

Hello Beanies! Happy Friday!

The second dose of the Covid vaccine has kind of kicked me in the head, so I’m using the day to relax, and maybe watch some k-drama in a slightly delirious fog.

As I’ve watched more dramas, I’ve noticed that Korean has so so many words in common with Tamil (my first language), and this is fascinating because there doesn’t seem to be any historical connection between the languages. There are also a bunch of usage forms and conventions similar to both languages that are really interesting too. Apparently, there are researchers in both countries trying to find an ancient link? Just goes to show that the more different we seem in the world, the more we’re sort of the same?

Anyway, happy weekend, all!

Good evening to you all, beanies.

I'm super-psyched for upcoming drama DOOM AT YOUR SERVICE, which I hope will bring me out of this small drama slump I'm wallowing in. Without meaning to, I've seemed to have dropped VINCENZO and I fully hope to be picking that up again. It's the insanely long episodes.

On the other hand, I've started a breakfast re-watch of W, in hopes it will make slightly more sense the second time around. Or maybe the delayed watch will force some other response in me than utter disappointment with the initially brilliant writer.

Outside of dramaland, I'm terribly tired of this whole discussion about Astra Zeneca's vaccine. Maybe it's because I work around very potent drugs with far more potent side effects, but I prefer getting my second dose of AZ before being subjected to several sources of vaccine. I wish people would just be given the choice.

Happy weekend Beanies and keep Beaning On!

Shout out to all Beanies working in call center jobs!💪 Okay, I technically boasted about myself since that is part of my job as well, sadly enough, but you get my point right?

I will have to take on 8,5 hour shifts from next month onwards, so I did the 8,5 hour shift today to get used to it, which is pure torture for an introvert like me. Right now I am even too tired to write my usual OT essay!

I would like to leave a great impression though, so I’ll just mention that the rulebook says that we are required to hang up on people who refuse to speak the official district language with us while calling. Some rude jerk demanded I passed him a colleague who spoke his language when I refused to comply. How bold of him to assume that I am surrounded by colleagues jumping at the chance to cater to his language whims, simply because he is too lazy to learn the language of the district where he lives. I literally was citing the law in order to explain why nobody would do that and why he had to cooperate when our charming caller dared to interrupt me to announce in a colorful language that he did not care. “Well then neither do I” I thought to myself, politely excused myself and pressed that red button.😎

Nice when following the rules allows you to be a badass!😁

Hi beans. I hope everyone is happy, healthy and had a great week :)

Lots of Sungrok updates this week. More Dracula 🧛🏻‍♂️ updates and his baseball ⚾️ ad has been released. Yay!!! 🥳

Baeksang nominations is next week. I'm wishing Kairos will be nominated too. It's a great drama and deserves all the praise it got and still gets.

On the other hand...dramaland without a Sungrok drama feels incomplete. Waiting patiently for his next drama announcement and please don't leave dramaland yet 🥲

This is the last chance I had to win a scholarship as an undergraduate & I seem to have lost it.

romantic dramas and temporary breakups? Almost in every drama the main couple spend some time apart from each other...and sometimes it doesn't seem necessarily and just seems to be a filler, tradition, or an excuse...I am not happy.

What can you say about this issue?
