City Hunter

2013/01/05 / Nic / 35 Comments

We usually have different tastes in Korean dramas. A Gentleman’s Dignity was one that we both agreed on and now we are watching City Hunter. While we are both enjoying it so far, he gets frustrated on those slower scenes with…. feelings and all that haha.

There’s a lot of dramas I’d like to watch but our internet has been terrible so it’s too frustrating (out of our control and hopefully we’ll move soon). My husband borrows some DVDs from a friend at work but most had such terrible English subtitles that I’d yell at the screen. Finally we got the City Hunter one and the subtitles are good, so slowly working our way through it.

What are you watching now?

(Also, I had to draw a very simple comic for this post because we are both sick with horrendous colds! It’s the middle of summer and it’s terrible being inside and sick like this).

Catch Me Catch Me

I’ve met some of his friends in his home town so I certainly believe this! They are quite big competitive guys who maybe don’t understand romance that well…

It also reminds me of this scene on the TV show Scrubs.

Making Toast

2013/01/03 / Nic / 10 Comments

I’ve talked about how he doesn’t like me eating dried seaweed without rice before. But what about things I don’t like him eating in a certain way? Or things I find strange? A reader asked this on twitter 🙂

This was when he was working a job that started quite early in the morning. To cut time he thought it would be better to prepare his breakfast in advance. Unfortunately I don’t think toast that has been cooked and then put in the fridge for a few days is that tasty! Gross.

I think he realised quite soon that it was not the best way to have toast. These days because he starts work in the evening, we have breakfast together. He gets me to make him toast now because he says I make toast better than he does. I don’t know how you can mess up toast but I guess I do have a lifetime of making toast whereas he only started eating it in recent years. I actually always get him to put the rice on because when I make rice it’s never as good… even in a proper rice cooker! And he is like “How can you mess up rice?!” I guess sometimes it’s best to stick with what you know best.

Let’s talk about S…

Seoul!

I have a question from a reader:

I will be going for a student exchange programme this march, at a university in jongno-gu, seoul. Is it possible if you could give an advice on how to find an accommodation in seoul? Any advice is also welcomed.

Since we don’t live in Korea yet I can’t give much advice on this BUT I have many lovely readers that I’m sure can help. For those living in Korea right now or have previously lived in Korea and can give advice on this, please leave a comment in the comment section. Thanks ^_^

Carry You

He does actually pick me up a lot and it’s not romantic like in the dramas. It’s usually more like “Ahhh put me down! It’s hurting me! Ahhh!” That’s why I just pushed him away when he wanted to pick me up and carry me again. And I was watching the drama!

We haven’t been able to watch many dramas lately because our internet connection, for reasons outside our control, is pretty terrible right now (not fun when you are a blogger!). Tried a few DVDs but most have really bad subtitles so I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot recently. Also it’s hard finding the time to watch together. I can’t wait until we have better internet and the time to watch Korean dramas together.

Life-jacket

So my uncle took us out in his boat. As soon as my husband gets on the boat:

Of course my uncle was joking! And we were on the lake anyway, not out in the ocean. My husband did take the life-jacket off after a while though, because he realised that the only ones wearing life-jackets in other boats were children. Legally life-jackets don’t need to be worn on smaller boats like this and we were in very shallow water anyway. They were just for emergencies.

So he did manage to relax on the boat and have a nice time.

ALSO: HAPPY NEW YEAR! My husband was working so we couldn’t be together but I was with some friends and we watched the Sydney fireworks. Because for Korean age, everyone’s age goes up on New Years, everyone was checking their ages and asking “What age are you now??” Although my international age is 29, my Korean age is 31!!!! Ahh!

Sandcastle

Luckily the children who made it had gone when he did this. I’m pretty sure if we met as children we wouldn’t be friends. I was the type of child who would sit there quietly for hours creating things and definitely would have put a lot of effort into a sandcastle. My husband was definitely a naughty little boy who would have destroyed it.
