I've been watching this drama since ate day already on episode 13! It's pretty melodramatic but very fast paced with intelligent and multidimensional characters. It's actually more of a CSI action drama and smartly plotted. There were a bit too many flashbacks and fluffy fillers, asides I love both the male leads and most of all the female lead!
I especially loved her pink lips, how it was the only emphasis aside from her natural makeup. Since I got influenced by her look, I did my own version of pink lips when I went out today - I uses Boux lipgloss plumper and Estée Lauder lipstick. Love the look!

I finished reading this book during my vacation and just want to write some insights.
This book made me realize how fragile the human sentiment is, how easily people can be broken. It's kind of nostalgic and the characters give a sense of distance, yet this is a love story. It shows how love can take many forms, not necessarily a typical one of being devoted with roses and presents- the whole material definition. Instead, it's something that can't be touched ...how the boy lost Nakao to the sanitarium and later to suicide. Though it was mainly through exchange of letters, the bond was so strong they were each other's reasons for keeping sane.
What I love about Murakumi's books is the way he writes all his character as being broken, with a ongoing internal conflict. A bit like the dialogue everybody has with themselves before bed about their life, but can't ever put into sense to say. How people can be damaged beyond repair for seemingly insignificant events. How you could have the world on the outside but be absolutely void on the inside.
I think it goes deep surrounding loss experienced by all the characters, that no matter what happens it only becomes a part of you and you continuously carry it through. How unpredictable the outside world is..like all the characters trying to have their guard up to protect themselves all fail in the end.
If love is there in the first place, it is always there. Time and presence isn't important, just the memories left. Even when things because unbearable you must push through and grow up. The books reminds me how hard it is to just begin...living without any limits and how hard it is to be free from you mind.

Just a few more days to 2013 and I just want to write a few thoughts down.
I learned to take things lightly, not so heavily and seriously. Nothing turns out as serious as my minds projects it. I think before I wasn't really living...I was wanting to be someone better, have something better or somewhere better. That feeling was like being short of breath, gradually I learned to let go of all the things that weighed me down. If I could have all those moments back when I simply didn't care at all what the outcome would turn out..now it's a shame how many days I wasted wishing I were somewhere else.
And truthfully the biggest lesson I learned about people is that they are fleeting in nature and done know what they want. I mean, we generally know the direction life goes. But when it comes down to relationships and interactions even the person we thought we wanted to be with might turn out a negative. There no guarantee in this world, it's not unfair, it's just a fact. I just realized how many problems exist in each of us and our lives, it always made me wonder how seemingly minuscule those problems may be to others but so familiar and of gravity to us. In this way, I feel sorry for everyone in a way, we all go about everyday doing things and thinking internally.
I learned to be still within myself, to drop all those expectations and impossible circumstances I always wished for. I learned to take everything one day at a time, sometimes it's nice to know I'm alive and well. I don't know how to describe it, but to know I'm a living breathing person with the chance to wake up every morning to a environment of my own freedom, is a miracle in itself. Especially in the 1st world people lose sight of that, too many comparisons and material achievements get in the way. I don't really need to compare myself with others having more or less, simply because they are not me.
There is only one me, one life situation and talents and dreams belonging to ME. Who cares when I went wrong and when I picked myself up again, it is just another life story. Many good things happened this year in the context of life situation, and no matter what happens next, whether bad or good will add to my experiences. My life as a being remains unfaltered, my life is the true ME.

I think winter break really makes me lethargic and eat way too much. The weather doesn't help so fortunately making plans with people help me stay on track or I'd lose my cool. So lazy to do everything ATM....
Baked Christmas angels and admire my pug than took a nap. There's no better way to spend the holidays than to do..NOTHING!!!!
Headed to Leavensworth this week for 4 days and it was amazing sights and lights, reminded me of those sceneries in the Christmas movies, very European styled. Arrived at around afternoon and managed to get some great daytime shots. This village gives me that reclusive warm feeling.
