After 3 years, another international trip!

My last trip out of the country, I believe, was to Japan in 2008. I was greatly blessed to be able to go to Osaka, Nara, Kobe, and Kyoto. It was a very fun and enlightening trip and I was so happy to be able to experience the Japanese culture in so many different cities on one trip. (^^) On this next escapade, we'll be going to be to Singapore!!! It's so amazing because this is going to be the farthest destination I'll ever be traveling in my life! (*o*) Once we get back, if you think the adventure is over, you're wrong. There's a brand-new one waiting for us when we get back; We'll be adopting the new doggie at the end of June. I've given him a new name, Duo Maxwell 'Scruffles' (my homage to Gundam Wing). xD The name is somewhat close to his old name so I think he'll catch on. We've given our own doggie only a million nicknames which she goes by so I think it'll work for him. ;P I feel like giving him a new name is appropr...

Korean Drama: Lie to Me

Image
I just started watching this about a couple weeks ago and I LOVE it! :DDD This drama is just too funny! The thing I really love about it is the silly couple fights that these two go through. I've been waiting a long time for something similar after Full House and this drama delivers. I also really love the chemistry between Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan. They really click and they both have that 'tension' before an intense scene. It really creates magic and makes me believe in their love. (^^) The story is about a girl named Go Ah Jung, a civil service worker who, after encountering some interesting events, ends up in a fake marriage with Hyun Ki Joon, president of World Hotel. There are also many other side characters with cute little stories of their own that add richness of emotion and relationships to this drama. (^.~) This story, like most other stories in dramas is still a bit on the cliche side being extremely predictable. Although I still enjoy it be...

"What BAD timing" moments in K-dramas

We've all seen these. There's that one scene where the girl is walking away from her so-called enemy's apartment and about to drive home when guess who pulls in? Yes, it's her enemy, but she also has the girl's love interest in tow. Freakin' awkward sh*tty situation but of course, the universe loves to time everything just perfectly right up to the part when you're just about to get into your car when guess who arrives at the scene? I know that K-dramas always love to play out these ridiculously outlandish scenarios that would only remotely happen in reality if it happens at all. But according to my own experiences, these "bad timing" situations actually do happen quite often in real life. (o.O) For example, I've had quite a few times where I would be leaving a certain setting because I didn't want to encounter a certain somebody but right before I can get into my car, a certain somebody shows up right on time, like clockwork! And ...

New family member

So about... last, last Thursday, mom and I went to visit her co-worker's house because we were going to meet his dogs. He lives in an apartment because their family had to downsize. The dogs are stuck in the hot garage all day while the family is out (which is most of the time). It's a sad life, especially for two mid-aged Jack Russell Terriers. Jack Russell Terriers are a breed that need a lot of exercise and stimulation for their brains. If they don't get that, they can be destructive in the house and get "doggie dementia" as my mom likes to call it. (x_x) We ended up spending the afternoon with these dogs, first taking them for a walk and then to our house to see how they would interact with our own dog. It turned out that one of the Jack Russell's got along with our babycakes and she even tolerated him in the house! When we took the dogs back to their original owners, mom told the guy that we would take one of the dogs by the end of June if no...
