Sick Blog...No, Really.

This week I have been sick. With conjunctivitis in my right eye that eventually became infected, and essentially just gross. Therefore, sorry to anybody who reads this blog and was expecting something more to be posted this week. So, I finally have eye-medicine to make my eye as good as new??? Now, while being sick, I started to think sick-y, insomnia-y, and delusional thoughts. My brain was making weird connections, and my best friend's brain was as well (due to her being sick the same time I was...YAY FOR FRIEND TELEPATHY!!!). These upcoming drawings are just a peek into our sick brains, and not much else. So enjoy!


Come to the story board with me:

Sorry guys, this is all I have got for you right now. Again, these drawings are just the thoughts of sick people. Thank you guys for reading! Also, let me know if you want me to talk about something specific, review any kind of media, or review just Korean media :) Goodbye my friends!


Side-notes:

1) I got best friend and her roommate into "Scent of a Woman" the Korean drama!

2) Monsoon season here! Bring on the wind, rain, and more heat (IT IS RAINING RIGHT NOW)!

3) It is so hot here, my eyelids have become a slip 'n' slide for sweat. Awesome.

BBC and Passion??

Passion. What comes to mind when you think of the word "passion"? Well, scarily enough, I decided to browse the Internets to see what online dictionaries had to say about it, and boy oh boy, the first thing that I happened upon (at dictionary.com, if you care to look up their definitions of "passion" yourself) are mostly about sexual desire, lust, or just ardor. Even at another site (freedictionary.com) the first definition to pop up was about sexual desire, basically everything that has already been aforementioned. Feeling resigned at this point, I thought to myself, "Well, maybe the British will get it right?"
So, I went out on a limb in trusting the Brits (although it isn't hard to when they have beautiful men such as Benedict Cumberbatch on their side), and I was rewarded. Their first definition was just a generic definition of strong, uncontrollable emotions. Yet, the third definition caught my eye, as it read, "an intense desire or enthusiasm for something". Jackpot.
I bring this up because I am slightly perturbed with a mindset that I have encountered through PERSONAL experience as of late. Some individuals I have encountered and had conversations with seem to have lost passion. These individuals seem to be passionately focused on the rewards or benefits that a certain career or life decision will give them in the end. That is not passion to me. Passion is that intense desire to go beyond your own wants, needs, and desires. Passion is seeing a flaw or a injustice in the world and desiring intensely to change whatever said flaw or injustice may be. This passion is without thought of selfish benefits (money-wise, socially, physically) and just about desiring to drive into place the change that desperately needs to happen.
To be honest, right now I am re-evaluating what I thought was my passion for a long time. I am trying to just be honest with myself, and not judge myself as a failure if I find a greater passion in life.
The reason I would judge myself as a failure is because I feel like others have set up expectations for me or my life, and deviating from that path would make me seem...wishy-washy, flaky, or just a flat out failure. That is my own personal problem though, and I need to stop judging myself through other people's minds. Ouch. That was painful to even type.

Now, on a lighter note:

1) Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, BBC): if you want to feel the dictionary.com definition of passion, I will give you a picture in order for you all to do so. (Image from: http://www.metro.co.uk/tv/856136-benedict-cumberbatch-frankenstein-is-about-bad-parenting)

2) Bradley James & Colin Morgan (Merlin, BBC): Also to inspire that dictionary.com passion within everyone's bosom. (Images from: http://fyeahbradleyjames.tumblr.com and http://atrl.net)

Musings & Such

So, it has been quite some time since I have written on this blog, and I am quite sure that no has read this blog in that time frame. However, I am still going to utilize this blog as an outlet for myself, and for anyone who just needs to know that they aren't alone in their frustrations, realizations, and trials in their life. Right now, I am currently about to enter my senior year of college (despite still looking like a 15 year old)! Yet, now I am more unsure about what my purpose is in the future more than ever! I honestly would love to hear if anybody else is feeling that way, or is it just me?? Eh, who knows! Now, time for a confession. I am addicted to Korean media. Korean music, Korean dramas, Korean fashion, the list is never-ending at this moment in time. And I am going to throw out a few Korean songs that I cannot stop listening to, as well as a few dramas that I am watching.

Korean Songs:
-PSY - Gangnam Style
-Junsu - Intoxication (I must warn the ladies, your ovaries will explode listening to this song, ridiculous!)
-Hyuna - Bubble Pop (The music video I wouldn't suggest watching because it kind of ruins the "aegyo" of the song)

Korean Dramas:
-I Do, I Do! (Not sure how I feel about this one yet)
-Scent of a Woman (Just finished watching this, AMAZING!!!)

Basically, right now I am watching anything with Lee Dong-Wook (he was the lead in Scent of a Woman) in it, and just in case you do not know who he is, please refer to the resources below :)

Now, I understand that Korean men, are not for everybody, but please, all of you sleep-deprived, going out of your mind, and overworked college women out there, please do not deny yourself the visual experience of this lovely man. Now, I think I should resign from this blog now, or I am going to go on and on about lovely Korean men. Maybe next week (or tomorrow, who knows), a request for a Korean actor eye-candy can be taken? Or a drama or song to review? I am open for requests!!

Good-bye fellow friends!
