favourite color(s): growing up, it was pink! then in my teens i rebelled against pink and decided i liked black and i ended up with lots of black clothes that i later found boring. i still love pink and black, other than those colours i think my faves are warm, gold and earth tones. :)

currently reading: the pandemic has really killed my ability to read books, but i recently started reading Echoes of Love by Rosie Rushton. it’s a modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, my favourite of her books. i borrowed the ebook from my local library through the Libby app, it’s been a lifesaver for me this pandemic! i’m only two chapters in and still trying to get used to Anne Elliot being a teenager in this adaptation. 

last song: one of the theme songs from the Chinese drama Goodbye My Princess has been playing on repeat for daysssss since i finished the series. it’s called 愛殘 (spoilers for the drama in the link) which means broken love and it’s a haunting, tragic love song, perfect for this tragic romance drama. the drama really hit a lot of the right id spots for me and i’m still feeling the high from it.

sweet, savory, or spicy: i don’t really have a sweet tooth, so savory and/or spicy for me!

last movie: i had to check my Netflix history for this. before i started binging Goodbye My Princess, the last movie i saw was Look for a Star, a Hong Kong romcom starring Andy Lau and Shu Qi. she’s a regular girl in Macau working two jobs to survive and he’s the CEO of a huge company. you know how this story will go! XD i grew up watching Hong Kong movies and dramas, so this was a nostalgia rewatch for me. Andy Lau is so handsome and Shu Qi is so gorgeous!

currently working on: not really working on anything right now. i have some ideas for gifsets, but haven’t started on them. i’ve also been feeling the itch to try writing fanfic again. we’ll see how that goes!

#i can't say i'd recommend goodbye my princess or look for a star #the drama is 52 episodes long and starts off really sweet and is visually stunning but it has a tragic tragic ending #plus the english subtitles kind of suck #it's a romantic drama but has lots of politics and twists #it was supposed to be 60 eps but got cut to 52 so some parts are confusing. it was rereleased as 55 eps but netflix only has the 52 eps cut #and the movie is cute and i love the banter (which doesn't come through very well in the subtitles) but it's a standard fare cliched romcom #i'd recommend them only if you're into tragic and cliched stuff!
