1, 2, 5 for the soft asks!! 💚

thanks for the ask, liss!! // from these asks

1. your favourite playlist (made by yourself or someone else)

oh god okay, but i think right now, at least, my favorite playlist is i’m the main character (of a kdrama) today. idk. i really love kdramas for lots of reasons, but right now something i’m really appreciating about kdramas is that so many of them have this theme of having a dream is the most important thing and like…lol, i’m at that stage in my life where i’m really holding onto that. so like. this whole playlist is composed of songs from kdramas that give me a lot of hope for the future in terms of what i choose to do with my life, the people i’ll eventually come to love, etc.

2. how many houseplants in your room, and what kinds are they?

lol, i don't have any plants in my room anymore, but i used to have a rose sitting at my desk! it wilted, unfortunately. back when i was living on campus though, i used to have a thing of scallions sitting in a water jar on my windowsill!

5. 5 tv shows that cheer you up

ohohohoho...right now, that's probably

1. the clone wars, for obvious reasons. why yes, the clone wars is depressing af, but it still feels like home.

2. school 2013, which i've honestly screamed about quite a bit here already, but...it's just such a comfort show. i think everyone deserves teachers like jung in jae, and i think everyone deserves to heal from old friendships like go nam soon and park heung soo, and i think everyone deserves to grow like oh jung ho and kang se chan and lee yi kyung and lee ji hoon.

3. hello my twenties!, which is just so happy. i've watched it three or four times now, and it never fails to make me smile. sometimes you just want to watch a show about college gals learning about love and dreams and friendship.

4. jugglers, yeah, yeah, yeah, another kdrama but it just makes me happy because it's a cute office romance and the main couple. makes me. want to scream. i mean. come on. i just see a tall unassuming guy fall hopelessly in love with the bright-eyed short gal and it's game over.

5. avatar: the last airbender, because this is just another childhood favorite. who doesn't love aang and crew? to this day, i'm pretty sure this is like...god-tier of all animated shows. solid messages, asian protagonists, really nuanced storytelling, the redemption arc to end all redemption arcs...honestly, so god-tier.

#answered #bliss liss #atla is just one of those shows that i don't think anyone can compete with #like. that's it.#like tcw is closer to my heart #but when it comes to better storytelling and more nuanced characters and smarter storylines #it's def. atla #(that said. i love disaster lineage more than the gaang)#(and i would probably fall into a wormhole leading to gffa than the atla world)#(but like. yes. atla....is very much so a show that i hope kids always watch)

Hi again! I like drawing, too, and i’m okay at it. I would love to See one of your drawings, if you feel comfortable showing me! My favorite characters probably are: Bellamy Blake (the 100), Sirius Black (Harry Potter), Caroline Forbes (tvd) and maybe Newt from the maze runner (by James dashner)? Honestly, there are so many characters I like, that it’s hard to choose. My childhood crush was actually Peter Pan and Nicky (from Nicky Ricky dicky and dawn). - secret santa💗 part 1/2

And my current crush is Five Hargreeves (the same actor as Nicky) so I guess my type hasn’t changed. What about you? Also, where do you live? I’m in Norway, although I’m actually Polish, and I speak fluently both languages + English. I’m also learning Spanish. What languages do you speak? Love, secret Santa. Part 2/2

oh my goodness hi hi!

of course i’d love to show you a lil’ sumn sumn, let me just fetch you a quick pic ~

filter check too! (if the filter doesn’t pick up i’ll go back and adjust the drawing until it does) i have plenty of others too if you’re interested 🥺👉👈

i used to live for tvd! caroline was underrated towards the end but my favourite was always bonnie for being the real mvp no matter what.

i mean, idk i tend to go for the underrated characters in dramas too,,, i watch a lot of kdramas now. i suppose you could say i’ve fine tuned what i’m into 😭 nah i don’t discriminate 🗣‼️ i currently have the phattest crush on kim seonho because he’s the best in start-up (netflix; he plays han jipyeong!) and i started watching it because nam joohyuck was in it as well as my favourite actress bae suji! 😅 do you have any favourite actors/actresses?

i, am a brit. lol. england. i live a little north of london (40min train to st pancreas & kings cross). i do, however, have welsh heritage + german heritage. (the german but i found out myself quite recently). i do know some polish tho since i grew up in an area where a lot of eastern european’s have moved to! (also had a few friends who’s houses i’d go round and pick up on some things). i also once had a teacher greet me in polish??? i was like bro?? when have you ever caught me speaking a word of polish before?

cześć! (i would type how are you but i can say it, not type, i’m so sorry), hehe that’s it 🇵🇱

um i can speak a little welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿(enough to be polite in the shops & greet people in the street) and french 🇫🇷 (maybe intermediate/advanced? not fluent, i’d say). i should probably touch up on my french though it’s a little rusty but i can read & understand (listen to) it perfectly fine. i can also read hangul (한글) 🇰🇷 (i’ve no idea what i’m saying though, i learnt to read the alphabet bc that’s how to start learning) and can speak small phrases i’ve picked up from the tv. uh, english too? 🇬🇧 although i’m sure i didn’t need to specify. i can ask where the train station is in japanese too. 🇯🇵

i kinda wanna learn polish tho? i live in an area where it’d benefit me enough to learn it plus it’d be nice bc i have a friend who’s mum isn’t confident in speaking english unless she absolutely has to so i could be nice when i visit (post corona). it’d be completely off my own back so maybe i’ll wait until i have enough time to dedicate to it. how/where do you study spanish?

quick fire: what are you doing right this second? (or right before you saw this/answered)

are you into plants? i have a bonsai + a bit of bamboo that i’m thinking of planting properly + a succulent! i’m hoping to get an aloe plant soon and my room just smells so clean? and fresh all the time!!

lots of love and positivity being sent your way ❣️

I Hate Going To Work

Today, I’m listening to my boss’s nonsense loud and clear again

Premieres 10 April 2019,

Every Wednesday, 8PM (MYT)

Within 24 hours of Korea

Encore every Tuesday at 8PM (MYT)

I Hate Going To Work is a 12-episode workplace comedy drama starring Kim Dong Wan (Cheer up Mr Kim, 100 Days My Prince), Han Soo Yeon (Your Honour, Teacher Oh Nam Soon), Kim Kwan Soo (Touch Your Heart, First Kiss) & So Joo Yeon (My Healing Love, The Whispering). This is a slice-of-life office drama about people who don't want to go to work, which will resonate with everyday office workers.

Kang Baek Ho (Kim Dong Wan) is a legend in the company for his high-speed promotion. He hates people who does not take things seriously. His interest is working late and working overtime on weekends. Yoon Hee Soo (Han Soo Yeon) is the person in-charge for the project for M Books’ store. A normal, everyday bookstore remodelled into the trendiest place that people in their 20s – 30s would like to frequent. She is a person who has a special relationship with Kang Baek Ho.

This drama will not be a story that feels distant and unrealistic. It is an everyday office drama that fits in to this era as it is happening around us. The core of the show is to happily unravel the realities of work boredom and heal the exhausting daily routine. If you are an office worker, you will definitely look forward to watching this!

I Hate Going To Work aired last year in the form of pilot program, showing the unreasonable situations of office workers in the company. Due to the high popularity and positive feedback, it was transformed into a full TV series.

Kim Dong Wan is more known as a member of the legendary idol group, Shinhwa. He continues his acting career by starring in television series and films. His hard work has paid off, as he has received many awards for his acting, such as Best New Actor at the KBS Drama Awards for A Farewell to Sorrow, Excellence Award in the category of Actor in a Daily Drama at the KBS Drama Awards for Cheer Up, Mr. Kim!, and Most Popular Actor in the category of Film at the 49th Baeksang Arts Awards for Deranged. He has since been recognised for his acting skills. It has been seven years since Kim Dong Wan’s last drama on major broadcaster KBS. Viewers are excited to see his comeback through this new series.

Character & Cast

Kim Dong Wan (as Kang Baek Ho)

37 years old, Senior Manager. A young legend who rose rapidly through the ranks. He is determined, self-directed, far-sighted, shows grit, has a strong competitive spirit and is an absolute workaholic. To him, working overtime is a hobby, and working during the holidays is a form of leisure.

Han Soo Yeon (as Yoon Hee Soo)

Red Ball Jets

Run faster, Jump higher!

I would be sweating, running in navy blue gym shorts, my name embroidered on the lower right hem. The white Red Ball Jets on my feet proclaimed to the world that I could “run faster and jump higher, ” but I skidded to a sudden stop at the centerline, super sneakers squealing on the wood gym floor, and thrust the basketball through multiple leaning, reaching hands to my counterpart on the other side. She’d go dashing away, hoping to make a basket; I would try to stop my momentum, so I wouldn’t tip over at the line. Then we waited, at the ready, for the ball to come our way again. Voices echoing, jumping, running, reaching, our clumps of girls made their way back and forth on our half of the court until the shrill whistle of Miss Hill, the gym teacher, would put a stop to the mayhem.

It was 1959. I was starting 7th grade, and I loved gym. I had been a genuine tomboy in elementary school, playing softball with the boys at recess, marbles in the dirt, and riding my bike no-hands down our blacktop road. I tended to come home, dirty and disheveled, folders frayed, knees bruised. My mom would just shake her head. When someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would retort, “just a plain woman.” I didn’t have a clue then—or later.

In junior high, ideas of what girls could be or do started getting defined. We couldn’t participate in official school team sports. We couldn’t wear long pants in the classroom. Living through a six-month winter meant we stuffed pants under our skirts for the chilly walk to school and stowed them in our lockers. In addition to half-court basketball and the dreaded dodge ball, we did calisthenics in gym class to trim our waists or slenderize our fannies. With her tight ponytail, no make-up, muscles, and no-nonsense attitude, Miss Hill was considered “butch.” We didn’t want to be like her. Getting muscles wasn’t feminine. By 8th grade, most of us pubescent, our upper body exercises were done to the chant of “we must, we must, we must increase our bust.” We tried to get out of gym. Who wants to sweat and then go back to class? Deodorant didn’t do the trick for me. I frequently exhibited large, wet circles under my arms. “Um, I’m having cramps, do I have to dress for gym?” “It’s that time you know, and I have a headache.” Ok. Sit on the side.

Going to dances became my thing. The starched petticoats of elementary school gave way to sneakers paired with slouch socks and leggings, topped by a white “boys’ shirt.” I moistened my pin curls in flat beer for long-lasting curls and used shoe polish to whiten my Red Ball Jets. With stiffened shoes and hair, we girls would descend to the gym, which was now transformed by crepe-paper streamers and toilet paper flowers. When the music started rocking, pairs of us shot to the floor, sneakered feet flying and arms twirling each other—until a “slow dance” came on, then we all demurely scattered to a side (the girls’ side) and waited for the boys, who clustered on the other side. Who would be the first brave one to cross the centerline and come over to us? Our happiness was in their hands. We pretended not to care while we anxiously waited and made giggling small talk. Then the lights dimmed, Elvis would croon “Wise men say, only fools rush in . . .,” and we wallflowers enviously watched the handful of couples who slowly walked the floor together, sometimes even to the beat of the music. Girls didn’t dance together for a slow dance. That could be butch. Shy boys were out of luck too. We couldn’t ask them (too forward), except during the infrequent “ladies choice,” called by the chaperones.

By 9th grade, school sports soon became something my friends and I watched. “Girls aren’t allowed to do sports” morphed into “girls can’t do sports”—no stamina, no strength, no aggression, not competitive. Never mind that we could downhill ski all day or skate and swim for hours. My best friend and I hiked around Teal Lake one afternoon, fording streams and climbing bluffs. We went to all the basketball and football games, cheering the boys and learning all the chants: “two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar, kids from Negaunee stand up and holler, hip, hip hurray, hip, hip hurray.” We even showed up at track meets. Being a cheerleader or a majorette, coached by Miss HIlll, was the closest thing to a girls’ sport. While these activities required some talent and dexterity, girls were clearly there to be pretty and to support the boys.

Our magazines and elders taught us more boundaries and behavior. “Don’t talk too loud, keep your legs together, and don’t lead a boy on.” Why? He could get blue balls, friends whispered. Really? They change color? Poor things. “Don’t let a boy get to first base too soon because he wouldn’t respect you.” This sports metaphor was confusing to me. A base just sits there, right? The player runs past, around, steals, or lands on a base. Were parts of our bodies the bases? First base, lips; second base, boobs; third base, “down there;” rounding home, “all the way”? We never talked specifically about first base or what “too soon” meant. We wondered about “petting” Was that second or third base? We heard what happened to girls who were “easy.” Then there was parking. You drive to a scenic spot, sit in the car, and “make out.” We were warned about making out leading to petting, which led to all the way. During our senior year, several girls disappeared for a time, visiting an aunt or some relative out of town. We’d speculate about whether she “lost” or gave away a baby. Sometimes a couple would get married and drop out of school. Gossip indicated it was the girl’s fault. She was leading him on and trying to get her hooks into him. Clearly she was easy, and he was helpless. Did they “have” to get married, we’d ask, with knowing looks.

In truth, we knew nothing. My mom didn’t want to talk about those things, so I would ask my five-years-older sister. If she was in the mood, she would let tidbits fall. She said petting could mean above the waist or below the waist, and both were bad but below was worse—yet another centerline that shouldn’t be crossed.

I remember accepting on some level the prevailing attitudes about women. It was common knowledge that “all the great chefs (writers, artists, composers, scientists, actors) are men,” or that “no woman can host the news.” We couldn’t compete with the gravitas of Walter Cronkite. The leaders we saw on our black-and-white TV sets in government, business, the arts, sports, and the military were all men. “Boring old men,” I used to say about all the talking heads on TV. Women didn’t have the guts, nervous system, brains, strength, agility, or whatever to do “x” well. We did have sexual power over men and were the keepers of the gate. They couldn’t control their urges, so we did. In addition, we were not to show them that we were too smart or too strong. They were the ones to run faster and jump higher in all areas of life. We could be teachers, secretaries, nurses, mothers, and wives. Nothing, of course, is universally true, and later I learned there were plenty of females at that time, striving to vault the centerline or erase the boundaries. Mostly women operated in the background, not making the news. I didn’t know about them. All I knew was that things didn’t seem fair.

In my senior year, I did “go steady,” wearing a boy’s class ring wrapped in angora yarn to make it fit. Lots of kissing happened. After graduation one night, I felt him briefly touch my breast through my clothes before he drove off in his car. Oh man! I had wild sensations when I walked in the house, nerves tingling. I sensed a line was crossed, but I didn’t realize until some years later what that pulsating in my privates signaled.

What next? My parents and I agreed I needed further education. I had good grades. Plus I need a degree just in case. Just in case, what? Just in case there was a war, and I lost everything but my education. Just in case I needed to dig up an educated man who would have a good job. Just in case, something happened to that future husband, and I had to work. Higher education was like having an extra dime in my pocket. I went to college, not thinking about what I might become but on the hunt for that educated man. Fall of 1965 began my freshman year at the University of Michigan.

On the surface at least in Ann Arbor, familiar uncrossable lines were in place. Girls had curfews in the dorms but boys didn’t. I guess they couldn’t get into trouble without us. Girls couldn’t be in the famous marching band or walk on the field in the Big House. I think there were intramural sports for us, but I hadn’t learned any team skills. In other aspects, Ann Arbor, like the rest of the country was in upheaval, resulting in protests and meetings with people who were against the Viet Nam war, for civil rights, for women’s lib, against rules, for drugs. I learned folk songs, smoked cigarettes, cheated on curfew, and sat in. We felt freer than we were.

Fast forward a few years—I had a BS in education, married an educated guy with a career, had two adorable children—got the dime in my pocket as instructed, but something was still out of kilter. I busied myself at home and with part-time teaching. By chance one day, I saw an ad for an aerobic dance class. Fitness for women was popular, thanks to Jane Fonda and Jazzercise, no beefy men teaching squats or Air Force exercises. Hundreds of women turned out for the classes, building muscle, losing fat, breathing hard, and we did it to music, learning complicated routines and making friends. After I became an instructor and then a manager, I learned that fitness led to real confidence. It became a portal as many of the women started changing their lives, one after another. I had not foreseen that strengthening my body would strengthen my will. I, too, went back to school with more clarity of purpose and became an editor—a job I loved.

I know now that barring us from sports in puberty affected our minds as well as our bodies. It took a new wave of feminism plus the legal clout of Title IX to make real changes. I don’t long for the good old days. I am content now because all parts of my life work well. Recently my husband and I attended a women’s playoff basketball game. He was commenting on the game—zone defense, breakaway shots, free throws; I was watching tall muscular women freely race down the whole court, arms pumping, shoes squealing. I always tear up. Every. Damn. Time. They don’t even need Red Ball Jets.
