It’s a Taiwanese drama, and after not watching one for a long time, I am reminded that they like toilet humor, physical comedy, and in-head monologues that can extend as long as an entire scene. It’s relatively faithful to the manga plot, as most fans agree, and as said manga is still unfinished, you should know what to expect from the ending. But seldom do dramas end all happily-ever-after now anyway, which I guess is a good trick to keep the audience hanging on to the story, leaving a sliver of an opening for a sequel. Or they are maybe…

Nothing beats the tedium of the daily grind like the basic happiness of loading a choice episode over free streaming. Since I felt like going back to basics, in the search bar went ‘Oguri Shun wiki.’ I thought it better to be updated in his fictional life than dwell on the fact that he is, finally, dreadfully married. Fan girls cope that way. Veterinarian Dolittle, or Juui Dolittle was Shun’s J-drama offering for 2010. Based on the manga of the same name (figures, Japan), the drama sees Shun reunited with Hana Yori Dango playmate Inoue Mao. For fans who were…

I feel so lost now, hun. But I did find you. Happy Valentines’ Day. ‘I miss you’ doesn’t even cover it.

Feel free to dip your fingers into a recurring scene in my subconsciousness. Because I don’t know what to make of it: There is a princess haunting my dreams, young, pretty, sweet, and always always happy to see me. Calling my name and beckoning me to her side in that REM world. I am wary of her affections, but still I come close. Always this boy will be there too, grinning at her because she is pretty and sweet, charming her and complimenting her, and she quickly reciprocates. Then I wake up annoyed. Every time. Good morning to me. Saw…

Every few days, I need a dose of philosophical shit to vaguely explain the daily craziness of life as I know it. Today is one of those days. And I thank you, Norma Jean. I would explain just how fully I can relate, but that will be incriminating information. “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they are right, [you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself], and sometimes good things fall apart so better…

I’ve never been particularly good with resolutions. Partly because of the unnecessary pressure they give, partly because they tend to feel like obligations. Like the cosmic forces are bossing me around, telling me what to do so I can transform into a ‘better version of myself’. Anyway, since it’s a yearly universal tradition, I will cave. But I am calling them things-to-do, not resolutions. Less pressure that way. 1. Watch a play/musical. 2. Read at least one non-school book a month. 3. Visit Maj’s grave. Frequency goal to be determined by my emotional stability and that of my companion. 4.…
