Hey there fellow beanies! It’s the last day of June!
What does one do when they are faced with a sudden 9-day weekend from work? Well, you make plans to work around the house and get projects done that you never had time for – because you can’t spend any extra money this week. time off with no PTO sucks

So between hours of cleaning out the shed where my dad stored all his tools and whatnots, I would take a break and got caught up in an old cdrama- the one with Puff and Jasper Liu. This is directly a result of watching “Before we Get Married” and hating the whole week between episodes.

Truly the life of a Korean/Chinese/Japanese drama addict…

So. I kept hearing that these two actors had been in another show called “Pleasantly Surprised” and holy cow I am hooked on those dimples of his when he smiles!
Puff also is absolutely gorgeous in a female tsundere character.
It reminds me of the German film “Mostly Martha” that I loved years ago.
*never saw the American remake- ugh*

Anyway – between organizing tools, cans of paint and figuring out how many nails do I need to store in the shed – I’ve become totally obsessed with Jasper Liu and found out he was in an episode of “The Return of Superman” in 2018.
Which of course, I had to look up, because I don’t have to go to work in the morning – yeah…….,/i>

This whole thing is to tell you that I can’t stop watching the show – but this episode of TROS – has them eating at an outdoor eatery and eating the raw octopus! Gahhhhh!

And that little boy is so adorable.

Also I found some old things of mine – letters and papers from college that I hadn’t looked at for almost 14 years. It’s been quite a day.

Can’t even stop to watch Nokdu Flower or The Carrot Boy – but I have all week for that.

      You also have all week for that!

      I love his dimples and Seungjae too! The episode where they went to Taiwan was also really cute.

    No paid time off is the worst. Sorry. I keep looking for a chaebol friend with an ocean front beach house they’re happy to share, but no luck so far.

      Well that would be nice – but then I’d have to spend my time with *gasp* real people! The introvert in me is enjoying this time off.
      But what really helps is my company ‘boss’ who is our team leader called me Saturday to say how much she was going to miss all of us this week.

        No, no. We’d use the house when they weren’t using the house.

        The phone call was a nice touch.

          Oh that is better!
          Yes our team leader is like a mother bear though she is only a year older than me.
          In fact I’m going to her house tomorrow and help her husband with early onset dementia work in the yard. She is going to pay me and I get to PRUNE and cut things down! haha

    So sorry about the unplanned, no-PTO, TO. That sucks, but at least you have all the time now! Enjoy your silver lining!

      Thanks @ally-le at first I was REALLY angry at the company where I work as this is a ‘cost saving’ measure and all the contractors are off this week.
      But by the end of that day all I could think was “a whole week off? I’ve wanted this for so long!” Then the time couldn’t come fast enough. hahaaaa
      Now to find more videos of that darling Seungjae – how can a 4 year old be so cute, precocious and smart at the same time?

    In all honesty, I’m not sure who I love more Seungja or Uncle Liu – they are ADORABLE together!
