Read more : meWhich aspects do you think makes a person unique? There will never be another person like me. Or you. The way that I look, dress, talk, smell, and make someone feel.

sudden impact + misc.
Read more: sudden impact + misc.Big mood lately. It vacillates between feeling disgusted, content, apathetic, and exhausted. I just have so many thoughts swirling in my head.

a name

more + more
Read more: more + moreAs a Korean, I can’t help but wonder if the constant pursuit of perfection is ingrained into our culture. It seems like there’s always something that needs fixing or upgrading.

beef
Read more: beefTruth be told, I haven’t finished watching the series (BEEF) because I’m all too familiar with K-rage. For some, there is an inherent feeling of injustice, rage, loss of control, and depression. But on the flip side, this is where you’ll also find resistance and nationalism. Much of it probably has to do with the…

the pharma chronicles IV
Read more: the pharma chronicles IVThe butterfish was an absolute delight. It was a five-course meal and very educational. But on top of that, it was a night of conflict and antagonism.

multi-lingual
Read more: multi-lingualHe was fluent in Japanese and much younger than me but we didn’t care. He was trying to learn Korean for me. It was rather cute but I preferred him to speak in Japanese than in Korean. He couldn’t get the accent 100%, which bothered me. I also like how smooth Japanese sounds, it rolls…
