Rainy weather, part-time insomniac

I feel like words fail me now, and all thoughts and feelings that come with that statement? They are swiftly followed by the urge to just sleep and sleep and sleep. The rainy weather we’ve been having recently is like a slice of sunshine in my little corner of the world. I used to hate rainy days with passion, but I’ve come to appreciate it the older I grew.

I’ve been cobbling together some words for this romantic comedy I’ve been writing and it’s been rough lately. Why do the scenes look so good in my head, but when I write them I feel like something’s lacking? 😅 I think I have evolved into a creature who is just screaming words out into the void.

All right. Tangent comes to a full stop now. Who else here has been watching ongoing dramas (Korean dramas)? Please make yourself known, because I’d love to get to know more fellow kdrama fans.

Same great taste, dot net version

It has been raining the past couple of days during this long weekend. Sleeping early and sleeping in? DELICIOUS. How’s your weekend going?

I know. I have resurfaced after many months of radio silence and after suddenly dropping the .com, swapping it with .net, too! What other crazy things have I been doing? So glad you asked because there’s really nothing new, except… oh! A a book, a movie, and a few kdramas. Take these as recommendations, if you will. I did drop some kdramas, like “Marriage, Not Dating” and “The Secret Romantic Guesthouse.” But the ones I kept watching are mentioned here. I hope you enjoy reading about them! 🙂

Today things: Horror recs podcast + movies edition

Ohai! I am starting off this post with a sun-infused weekend hello. It’s pretty cloudy and at 31°C. I’m surprised it feels cooler than that. But I’m not complaining. I’ve been in a pretty weird time frame of creative projects. For the most part, I feel like time seems oh-so-slow the past weeks. I’m guessing it’s because while I am thrilled to be working on multiple creative endeavors all at once, personal problems keep resurfacing. I wish I’m in a better headspace but I do what I can and have to do. Otherwise I’m going to spiral down if I don’t watch out for myself.

But enough sad TMI.

I’ve been consuming words a lot lately ó mostly from newsletters and Medium articles. I love learning new things and getting lost in the world of fiction. When I’m not reading, I am catching up on my current favorite kdramas: “Alchemy of Souls” and “Adamas.” I’ve tried watching “Today’s Webtoon” and while it’s funny and even touching, I’m not entirely invested in it. I used to love “Cafe Minamdang” but that one has fallen off my radar of interest, too. This is clearly a case of “It’s not you it’s me.” because both kdramas are pretty good. I guess I’m just not in the mood for them at this point. Who knows? I’ll probably circle back to them soon. I mean, like I (almost) always say: stranger things have happened.
