cute

i quit that crazy-pants gym and joined the one in my apartment building for literally 1/6 of the price. i’ve never been happier with and surer of a silly life decision.

the gym was empty except for a mommy and her tween son who were exercising while watching “boys before flowers” and making comments to each other. the kid wasn’t even wearing exercise clothes – he was just hangin with his mom on the treadmills.

i feel a little weird blogging about the gym so much lately, but i realize that all i do lately outside of work is read like a maniac, waste my life on the internet, and exercise. i don’t like writing about work for some reason even though i really enjoy it.

oh, and today i made a tofu scramble for the first time in my life. it wasn’t bad!!!

tofu + red peppers + cheese + rosemary + garlic = kind of like fancy scrambled eggs! kind of.

meet my new boyfriend

too bad i have to share him with 30,000 12-year-old girls.

ooooh look at those sexy pale skinny arms. YES.
goo jun pyo is skinny, tall, AND curly-haired: the hottie trinity.
my kryptonite!
(m-k was the first true deviation, ringing in with just a pitiful 1/3)
now that i’m single, when i meet goo jun pyo in real life, i won’t feel guilty when we have steamy closed-mouth smooches like on “boys before flowers”!!! ^_^

do you have any celebrity crushes right now? if not, who was your first one? who were you in love with when YOU were 12?

ok i’m over it

i guess i just had chosen the wrong drama.

now that i have “boys before flowers”

everything is ok.

i’m so happy my students introduced me to this gem.

here’s a synopsis i found: Jan Di is an average girl whose family owns a dry cleaning store located near the luxurious and well known Shin Hwa College. Jan Di meets the four richest and most spoiled boys, F4, when she delivers laundry to the school one day. After saving a boy from committing suicide, she is admitted into the school. An incident involving Jan Di’s friend, Min Ji, forces her to declare war on the leader of the F4, Goo Joon Pyo.

isn’t the blonde korean boy cuuuuuute? the actor is so totally the same age as me omg (my students pointed this out!!) and his character’s parents died when he was five and he got autistic(bad subtitle?) and just played violin a lot so now he’s super deep and maybe even like so totally into our girl, jan di. EXCEPT since he became autistic(!?!?) and needed saving, he’s been friends with the most beautiful, kind, and smart model in the world and she’s like his mom/first love/girlfriend (that’s what the subtitle said)!! she’s also jan di’s hero! who will ji-hoo pick!? will jan di stop the evildoings of f4!?

i watch it on mysoju.com if you’re interested in a subtitled korean version of gossip girl.
but actually, i think i like this better because it’s lower budget and the lead actress is totally goofy but kicks ass!
really, if you have some time to kill, i dare you to not get addicted.
