Maybe I need to go on a motivation camp or military training or whatever to keep my spirit and concentration high. One single touch of a distant memory and I get so many distractions in return. What the heck is wrong with me? -___-

Anyway, speaking about distractions...

In the last two days I allowed myself to switch back to J-drama mode for a while; previously I had taken an oath to keep walking in this otaku path only. It began when my friend reminded me that there was a special episode before the Liar Game Reborn, which was about the match of the best devilish players in my opinion: Fukunaga and Yokoya. Watching it brought back my love for the series. Unfortunately the translation for Reborn is not yet out; hopefully soon. But well, after watching the special episode of Liar Game I was somehow reminded of Detective Conan, thus spending the last three days to catch up with all its live action adaptations. I'm not disappointed at all; been a while since I plunged myself into such detective, crime, mystery series.

Aside from that I also have lots of anime series to take care of. Currently watching Fate/stay night and Full Metal Panic! for the sake of old times, oh my... Fate/stay night didn't rise as high as I hoped it would be; after all it was the sequel to the amazing Fate/Zero. Full Metal Panic! is a nice combination of comedy (mainly), action, and romance. A nice ride with both series.

And yet tonight I added more to my drama and anime list. Isn't it just amazing, these distractions?

Not to mention this sweet song from Detective Conan's live action series:

This Korean drama has been keeping me occupied these last few weeks. It revived a hidden, sleeping fangirl part inside of me. It unleashed my fangirlism in such a crazy way that it made me feel so high up on the air almost everyday watching the scenes and wondering what would happen next. As crazy as I could be, I decided to write a review even though the series has not ended yet. Well, it will end this week, two more episodes to go after all. :(

Obvious warning, spoilers ahead, as much as I try to keep it as superficial as possible, so do NOT read if you do NOT want to be spoiled!

All in all, I didn't regret watching this drama at all. I'm glad I liked Lee Seung Gi from before, from Brilliant Legacy. I checked K2H because of him, and didn't regret it at all. In fact it colored my days waiting for new episodes and with the amazing soundtracks.

I so can't wait to see how this story would conclude. AhHa rocks! <3

This weekend is kind of mixed. We had a long break thanks to the holiday for Christ's Ascension, from Thursday down to Sunday (which is today). I was supposed to spend a happy, lovely, and laid-back free time at home with Mom and Sis, playing games, enjoying TV programs, watching dramas and anime, fangirling like a crazy one...

I am not the one who was sick, if you worried a little. :P

Late at night, actually just around an hour after midnight, early in the beginning of Saturday, we received a call that Mom's mother (so my maternal grandmother) fell ill. Heart attack, it seemed. She was unconscious and brought immediately to hospital... None of her child was around to help, it was another family. Mom rushed over to her place, which is not at this city, Friday afternoon. She would return tomorrow night. Well, that left me with a task to look after Sis, although it was taken over completely by my aunt who used to take care of her before...

Now that sounds like I was back to being 'jobless', but it was boring since I had no one to talk to. :(

Problem solved a bit when I went to visit a friend's house to play couple of hours on Saturday afternoon. And by going back to boarding house today. ... Or no. Since I have classes tomorrow. Starts early, ends late. And seems like it's going to be boring.

"Ah, stress!"

As the title said. That is the reason for my lack of post for almost a month. :P

Not really, I guess...?

Last time I posted an entry here, it was after the first exam of last module, if I remember correctly. After that I went into crazy mode of studying. I tried to use my time as effective and efficient as possible, I tried to keep myself sane through all the crazy schedules... It ended up well, the exams week finished and I didn't have to redo anything. Still I had an exam to re-take last week, and I went back to studying. Not that I didn't have time at all to write, but I was getting lazy online, only playing games and downloading or watching K-drama, and chatting. Nothing much. Until today, which marks the beginning of a new class, I think it is a good time to restart everything again.

After taking a break and breathe free for around a week -- or few days cut by studying from that re-take exam -- I feel slightly more refreshed to start anew. Today's lectures while not as bad as I thought were not delivered well by the teachers that they got slightly boring. It's still the first day anyway so I won't let myself down.

Back to working on my writing, I guess. So many to write, deadline is Wednesday, and I'm full until late afternoon tomorrow. How sweet.
