Another Surgery!

It is almost becoming routine. The testing, the consultation with my doctor, the recommendation of a new means to contain those demon cells.This time the team is going to make another attempt to tackle the pesky tumor that sits at the base of the skull.Radiation and chemo, both, contained it but it still present a problem because of the location.

I no longer cry as I have found, that for me, tears serve no purpose. However, there is stress made known by the spike in the BP and there are bouts of depression. I continue to wonder if I am being punished for some past life experience as I have racked my brain and in this life, while I have made mistakes, I don't think I deserve a lingering punishment such as this has been. If it is a test, then surely I have passed the test by now.

Despite the recent controversy, I still find his talent amazing and love this album.

Five was great but I tell you these two continue to amaze me with their talent.

○ TVXQ! CONCERT -CIRCLE- #welcome in Seoul ○ Something


 Oh yeah!

Listening to this, on a day that I was feeling low, and suddenly I found myself smiling.

"Romance Is a Supplement"

Dan Yi was a successful copywriter and left to become full time wife and now suddenly finds herself  divorced,unemployed and overqualified for every job she applies to. In desperation, she hides her educational background, pretending to be a high-school dropout and finds a job in a publishing company where her childhood friend works. Romance Is a Supplement is highly anticipated for its stars: Lee Jong Suk's last project before his mandatory military enlistment, as well as Lee Na Young's first drama after nine years.  Lee Na Young has been on a lengthy hiatus since her marriage to actor Won Bin in 2015, as well as giving birth to her first son in 2017.

Korean writer, directors, and actors all know how to do the Romcom quite well. And this one does not disappoint.  Some teary moments when you want to shake a character but also a lot of humor and a bit of subtle romance and interesting side characters as well. This one gets an 8/10 from me.

'Memories Of The Alhambra'

NetFlix jumped onto the KDrama wagon with adding a variety of Asian dramas to their listing (they would do well to add many more, in fact an entire Asian film division would be great) and also doing some originals as well. The first that I watched was Memories of Alhambra with my bias Hyun Bin and with Park Shin Hye and ChanYeol of Exo.

I thoroughly enjoyed this as it blended my love of the KDrama with my love of SCi Fi and the results were a program that kept me entertained. Without doing any spoiler I would say that it deserves a season two!


Synopsis:


The CEO of an investment company (Hyun Bin) puts his money on an AR game that's so revolutionary it will change the gaming world. However there is a bug in the system that leads to the CEO trying to solve the problem by becoming a player in the game. Added is the mystery behind the missing young developer, ChanYeaol who was to meet him at the Alhambra hostel which is owned by his family and run by his sister, Park Shin Hye.


For the script, NetFlix got Song Jae Jung, the writer for Nine, starring Lee Jin Wook and Jo Soon Hee, and W, starring Lee Jong Sook and Han Hyo Joo—two sci-fi thrillers that will also mess with your mind.


The plot hooked me right away and kept me invested in the program. The special affect are outstanding as well. I would give it a 9/10 rating and that is only because the attempt at adding a romance to the story was a bit weak.

Broken & Beautiful





I never held my hand out and asked for something free

I got pride I could roll out for miles in front of me

I don't need your help, and I don't need sympathy

I don't need you to lower the bar for me



I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong

I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal and I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be



Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Can someone just know me?

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful



I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful



We're walking on the ocean, turning water into wine

We bury our emotion and pretend that we're just fine

The only way to live now is to know you're gonna fly

Don't listen to the lying liars and their lies



I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong

I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal, I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be



Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Can someone just know me?

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful



Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful (oh)



I'm tired (oh)

Can I just be tired? (just be tired)

Without piling on all sad and scared and out of time (oh)

I'm wild (wild)

Can I just be wild? (just be wild)

Without feeling like I'm failing and I'm losing my mind



Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Oh, someone just know me

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful



I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm

I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)

It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, yeah, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)

It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful
