To our wonderful bio monitor,
Damn you. I’m grateful for your effort in putting all the pictures of the slides in our yahoo group but can’t you just have made it into a zip file so we don’t have to save every goddamn picture?
It’s four in the morning and I haven’t slept yet because I need to save all the files you uploaded. Thank you. Thank you for another round of panda eyes.
Love,
Your pissed off classmate.

As the so-called invasion of the K-Pop culture hits our country, I can’t help but notice that the graphic novel community has also been invaded by the K-culture. I’ve noticed how Korean mangas or much better known as the manhwas have been on the top list of the manga sites I’ve been visiting.
Wow. I guess this is the year of the Korean Pop culture.

Ferris wheels are for reminiscing.
No, it’s true. If I become really, really, really depress, I’d go there. I won’t be thinking of suicide, of course. I’ll just think–think of letting the sensations get the better of me.
When you really want to cry and be alone, the best place for that is the ferris wheel. Even if it is just for a few minutes, at least you get the feeling of being away. No one would hear you, no one would see you, and no one would ever tell you what to do. It is just you, the scenery and the slow humming of the ferris wheel.
Death At The MRT

I’m scared of MRT. Not the phobia kind but milder than that. I don’t need to ride MRT often that’s why whenever I need to ride one, I feel sheer panic. I hate it when people shout and grind each other like they were in a boxing match. Every ride is like a stampede in the making. Seriously. It feels like they want to kill each other.
But maybe they do kill each other–not literally but figuratively. The stench is lethal.
O Woe The Artist

Do you ever get that feeling where you want to make something but really can’t? Well, I have. And the picture above is the one.
I won’t claim that I’m very good at drawing but I won’t say that I’m bad either. Hey, it’s bad for people to inflate their own ego. Anyway, back to the drawing, that one, that particular Peace Maker Kurogane scan is what I have been fantasizing all year-round now. I kept on postponing the damn thing for so long that eventually I forgot about it. Then I saw it again when I was browsing my files. O woe time thee. It’s really sad that I can’t find time to draw. Or maybe I’m just making excuses to escape what was nagging me the whole twelve months now: I’m having an artist’s block.
I get this illness every two years in which I am unable to hold a pencil and draw like I used to. I doodle but serious, really serious, drawing, no. Clearly, I need to sing to the tune and wait for the block to be obliterated.
But I think that sometimes bumps don’t mean to hinder you, maybe they were just there to remind you that you need to slow down. Maybe I need to slow down.
My K-ry Movie

A Millionaire’s First Love.
This is my Korean cry movie of all time. The blending of different characters, of bittersweet first loves, of painful memories, of sweet promises and of all the things that makes love seem happy yet sad at the same time, are really beautiful. It isn’t as great as My Sassy Girl or Windstruck but this is the first movie that I watched that made me really burst into tears. So this is a very special movie for me.
Who the hell wouldn’t cry seeing a guy strip his very soul for you?
I Wanna Be A Rockstar

This is, like, my second greatest dream. I don’t know if being a rockstar translates to the drummers but, for me, the drums are the most powerful thing in a band. Seriously. I love how they are the wallflower in the group. See, when I watch concerts, the first thing I notice is that people tend to look for the guitarist first–and to think that the drums are the biggest instrument on stage.
Of course, I won’t deny that my first love was the guitars. I always dreamt of having one but didn’t get around it since I was so busy watching my animes. But then everyone was like, ‘I want to play the guitars,’ and I guess I lost interest with it because everyone wanted it. So I turned to drums and loved it. Now, I remembered my dream again–after watchig K-ON–and I wished–and hoped–that before I delve into the world of molars and canines, I could learn to play the drums.
And wish I could say, ‘Rock on.’
