feeling stupid

argh! i've been feeling so stupid lately, i can't think straight! 




by the way, i found a nice cover of Falling Slowly (Glen Hasard) by a Korean male vocalist, Park Hyo Shin. his voice soothes me (or actually makes me feel stupider?) .. haha



 now, it's 10 March 2012 already, I've been here for almost a half year already. It's hard to believe, time really flies. It almost gives me no time to breath. You have to adapt to a new academic culture. You are expected to obtain a master degree in merely one academic year (not two like the rest of the world -- okay, I am exaggerating things, but still a year is so fast!). Now term two has almost come to an end. One written exams awaits for you in May. Three essays for mid April (13.000 words in total). And 2000 words diary project due next two weeks. And then, there's dissertation with a topic you're still unable to grasp yet.


*Sigh*


Breathe! Hwaiting!


PS: I keep on using Korean words now, this is the result of choosing Korean thing for your specialization, I suppose. Doesn't matter anyway.

Blue Valentine - a movie about love that doesn't work

Image
B lue v alentine is a romantic drama film about the life of middle-class young married couple, beautifully acted by Ryan Gosling (previously, known for his acting in The Notebook) and Michelle William (she did a lot of works, but the most I remembered is when she played Heath Ledger’s wife in Brokeback Mountain and also in Dawson Creek). This Academy Award’s nominated film shifts back and forth in time: the past and the present of their courtship. Director, Derek Cianfrance, intended this film to began shooting when both actors were still younger, as Williams received the script ever since she was 21. But this intention failed due to financial issues. http://www.boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/blue-valentine-promo-poster.jpg Below is my plot summary, well it contains a spoiler, so in case you are intending to watch the movie, and prefer it best without someone spoiling the story, I guess, you’d better not read further.  The movie opens with a little girl named

Pojangmacha: Korean angkringan

Image
trying to keep my promise yesterday. okeh, today's post is about Korean street food stall, or almost similar with Javanese angkringan. before coming to Korea, I like watching Korean movies. The thing I often see in them is the street food stall. Often, characters in the movie go to one of these stalls and get a drink of soju and get drank, to confess love or messed-up feelings about love. Also, to eat fatty barbecued meat. Hahaa, what a unhealthy lifestyle! Another is when the character go for a walk and see one of the stall below, then grab a skewer or two. It seems so nice, and the way they eat it is sooo tempting. Korean definitely loves eating, and so do I!! So, when I got a chance to visit South Korea, one thing I wanted to do was to grab foods from these stalls. :D the lady with all the Korean delicious and spicy snack a woman buying some skewers what they usually sell (and the food the lady preparing is Korean rice cakes - delicious!) There are tw

haruskah ak diruwat?

after years of good experience with my possession, this past couple of months have been a real 'hell' for me. first, I lost a tripod in Jane Austen's city, Bath. second (today), I lost my damn cell phone in a market (and fortunately, it was the android one - which I only got like in a what? a year or so). this is just awesome! yet, a friend of mine said I was way too 'cool' for someone who just lost a phone, to which another responded, "she didn't even react when she lost a boyfriend, what-more a phone!". haha, I guess she's right.  well, I guess, goodbye! :'(
