I realised something.
Thanks to my slacking days, I am now an official TV-junkie and a magazine-junkie.
When I look at the numerous magazines I have lying at home...I feel faint. Like, what the heck! I spent so much money on these?!?!?!
Ahem. Technically, in my opinion, it is value-for-money. Un-technically, I just made all the publishers and bookshops a little bit richer via my magazine investments. That's why I feel faint. Heh.
So I have stopped my subscriptions to Cleo and Cosmopolitan. I shall limit myself to one magazine per month. Either Cleo, Cosomo or Glamour. Heh.
No more all 3 magazines in 1 month. If need be, it's because there are freebies with the magazines. Oops. I forgot to say that I love freebies from magazines. That's why I bought a few issues of Style magazines without actually digesting the contents. I am that hopeless.
Ok, on a sidenote. I think that now that I tried to limit my magazine-reading, I ended up buying books to read. It's a bit silly because after all magazines are cheaper than books, but then again I have discount for books but no discount for magazines. So contradictory.
One book that I recommend to anyone who might be interested: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. I finished the book and I find it super, super touching. Anyone who has the chance to come across this book, do go read it, you won't regret it.
I liked it because it's quite philosophical, and that the wise Morrie points out a lot of things that people of this fast-paced society tend to neglect. Relationships are the single most important thing in life, and whether be it with friends, family, loved ones, they will be the people who will remember you when you pass on. And he said, Love always wins. If there's love, there's hope.
What a sweet statement. :)
Back to my TV-junkie days. I consider myself an official TV junkie because on weeknights, from 8pm onwards, I will be stucked to the gogglebox till 11pm. At 8pm, there's my doctor drama on Ch.55, and then at 9pm, a funny local drama on Ch.8, and then at 10pm, there's My Lovely Samsoon on Ch. U. With so many dramas around, how can I not watch? And now, since I'm slacking, I have shows to watch in the morning too. 10.30am on Ch.55, another doctor drama. Haha. I have been watching a lot of doctor-dramas lately.
But I must say. I simply love Hong Kong dramas!!! So much more exciting, so much more interesting. Maybe because their budget for filming is bigger, so they have more things like explosions or elaborate sets. Local dramas seem to be lacking in this area lo.
And I think all Korean dramas have the same characteristics. They are either love-until-death-do-us-apart kind of drama, or they are the dramedy kind of drama, which is both to my liking. Heh. Maybe it's because of my tour? I also don't really know. It's kind of fun identifying those places I have been to and seeing them on TV now. And I miss shopping in Korea. It was quite fun!!!
Psst! Clement brought me to eat Korean food as part of my birthday treat!!! Hahaha. I got to satisfy my craving for kimchi and seaweed soup. And use the metal cutlery. And the barbecue food. And the pearl rice. And all those side dishes. Haha. Gee. The restaurant that served the kimchi is the kind I like! Ho Ho. I miss eating kimchi even more now! Kimchi is supposed to aid digestion, which in turns promotes active bowel movements, which in turns allows people to lose weight la!! Now I regret not paying attention during the kimchi making class. If only I did, then I could make my own kimchi and eat until I shiok!!! Wahaha. :P
*dreams on*
