The End of the World
Friday, September 14, 2007 | Posted by Jay I like that title.
Holy Shoes!
Ever since my second-to-last move between states, I hadn't been working out as much as I should have. A few months ago I picked up tennis (wahah...so random ne?) and had my dad teach me most of the basics. Who do I play with? The wall (which really is quite a nice partner, if you think about it - doesn't complain, you can visit anytime and don't have to worry about commitments, and it always hits back!).
Now comes the shoes part....
I'm not a fashion freak. And that goes for shoes too - I never have more than two pairs of shoes per year. Usually it's just a pair of tennis shoes that look brand new in the beginning of the year, and look worn, torn, and very sad-looking after the 365 days are up.
This last pair I've been wearing for almost a year and a half. And it showed, because I started getting blisters on my toes after tennis-with-wall. Last weekend I discovered that there was a gaping hole on the left shoe, and figured it was probably time to get some new ones.
Dramas?
I've been telling myself over and over again that I'd finally try watching some...and I finally succeeded this past week. And I have to say it's definitely different from your typical movie at the theaters.
I've only been able to find romancey ones so far, and they're not as scary as I thought they'd be xp. Ones I've been watching: Hanazakari no Kimi Tachi e (For You In Full Bloom/Blossom), and Hana Yori Dango Season (Boys over Flowers) both seasons. If anyone has any other recommendations I'm all ears! I need something to enjoy for the rest of the summer.
Portfolio Website
At last! After about a week-long binge (not much of my usual binges actually...I had to cram in work and the last bits of summer school into the mix), I finally finished my portfolio website. I haven't quite filled out all of my stuff for the portfolio yet...but for now I think it works out.
Photography
Over the summer I took a Photography class - a media I hadn't really tried before. They used the professional cameras, where you have to figure stuff like aperture and shutter speed, and you use film and develop and print them in a dark room (very cool!). This was a completely different experience from using Photoshop - things like dodging and burning done by hand rather than using software. And there are also things you can do with a camera that you just can't do as easily on the computer.
Anyways, if anyone's interested in seeing some, click!
It really is the end of the world for some...

My sister would cringe at the mention of your worn out shoes. She is a tennis player and she usually has to change her shoes every 6 months or something. Crazy ne? She is lucky that she use to get expensive pairs for free because of her private coach.
I haven't been working out but for some reason the top part of my legs are hurting like hell today. I have almost kissed floor because of it. -_-
As for Drama's I would recommend a korean one called 'Full House' It has Bi aka Rain as the main star, if you don't know who that is he is a famous singer.
There is also My Girl, which is okay but the ending gets a little too drawn out. There is a sad one called A million stars fall from the sky, if you want to see something depressing. I know of a few others but those are the two I can remember at the moment.
I'm in the middle of class so I better get going now. It's nice to see a new blog entry from you, later!
Hehe...I do need to get back into the blogging world more often XD. Thanks for the drama suggestions!

Lol~ Sounds like you're a lot into tennis. :P anyways, i've already watched hana yori dango... but for the whole, i much rather watch korean or chinese dramas though... but i'm more on movies so yea. @__@ ohoh~ have you tried watching Hana Kimi? the chinese drama one?
Nope, haven't tried that version yet - will add it to the list!

Man I've been meaning to comment here... I must say that the summer has made me into a drama addict as well. If you want to see what kind of drama, I could recommend you to a number of J-dramas since I haven't watched any K-dramas yet. Although, Crystal has mentioned to watch Coffee Prince, and from the bits and pieces I've seen from my sister watching it, it's good XD. I think it's more like what are you looking for in a drama. I'd really recommend Nodame Cantabile but that has hints of romance too (though the focus is on music)
Coffee Prince is a title that makes me curious for sure xp
Crystal @ Saturday, September 22, 2007 -- 6:18 pm
If you'll give Korean dramas a try, I'd go for Coffee Prince. It's funny and witty at the same time. It had me waiting for Monday and Tuesday nights for two months. :) (Had to put my 2 cents in! I'm a drama-addict--Korean and Japanese alike!)
Thanks for your 2 cents Crystal! I'll be checking those out tonight XD.
