Dance like no one's watching

Pretty much an open secret now… Will the numbers challenge be harder or the person challenge be harder? I think the former. So hard to change something that your brain isn’t born to do. Waiting for announcement…

I know why all the viewers wanted them to be together. Because their love was so pure and so warm (do you notice how many hugs they had in the entire drama vs kisses?) And that’s why first loves often do not last. When you put the other person before yourself and want only the best for the other person, after a while, this type of love does not give you support anymore and people will choose themselves in the end. It’s not that love has to be selfish to last but I think it’s about finding a balance.

I can truly relate. But it’s also this sort of first love that will bring a smile when you look back at it. You would only wish the best for the person that you’ve parted ways with.

저는 미극어서 새 신발을 샀어요! 온라인 쇼핑을 너무 좋아해요!

I bought new shoes from the US! Online shopping FTW! Ezship makes it cheap to ship stuff back.

Nothing special happened today. Went to the office, had a mid-day wine with Saja Hunter and her retired boss (maybe this is something outside of ordinary), then went to the dermatologist and then dinner with Iceman.

I did keep replaying the scenes from episode 16 of Twenty-five Twenty-one in my head though. I feel so sad that the male and female leads didn’t get together but the more I thought about it, the more I understood why.

Na Heedo knew what it was like being repeatedly disappointed by her journalist mom and she didn’t want to repeat that with her life partner. At the same time, she wouldn’t have asked him to give up his ambition for her. For Baek Yijin, he knew how much NHD’s mom’s absence hurt her (he said before that he looked up to her mom but started to think that he shouldn’t when he saw how much hurt it caused her). The repeated apologies turned into a burden.

It’s sad honestly. He transferred to local news to avoid any conflict of interest in covering sports… But it was this switch that started the rift between them.

I guess at the end of the day, we take risks with every choice we make. There’s no point regretting what was or wasn’t done because with every loss, a new opportunity would have arisen and with every new opportunity, something would be lost.

Such is life.

I’ve always admired people who are able to keep a diary consistently. I always fail at maintaining the discipline and I don’t like having too much paper around.

Anyway, do watch the K Drama, Twenty-Five Twenty-One, if you haven’t. The storytelling is so good it’ll make you laugh and cry. The ending is also so so so sad. From being in love and helping each other grow to choosing to leave because you are no longer the best person to do so.

Sigh. I wanted to re-watch the show but I don’t think I can go through the ending again. 😭

이번주 매일 도 너무 피곤해요.

월요일 밤에 Health Risk Notice 문자를 받았어요. 그래서 이번주에 사무실에 안 가요. 재택근무했어요.

세상에!

나는 오늘 아침에 재택근무했어요. 점심 후에 고객 하고 커피를 마셨어요. 저녁에 집을 청소를 했어요. 전녁로 한식을 먹었어요. 그리고 넷플릭스를 봤어요. 지금 세시예요. 그래서 잠을 자요.

이번 주 회사에 두번 가고 있어요. 내일 보험업자하고 점심을 먹고 있어요. 지금 두시 쯤이에요. 그래서 자고 싶어요.

오늘 밤에 제 남편하고 친구들하고 친구의조카가 한식바베큐집에서 저녁을 먹었어요. 저는 소고기를 정말 좋아해요. 그래서 저는 소고기를 많이 먹었어요.

술 중에 막걸리를 제일 좋아해요.

집 까지 삼십분 걸렸어요.

저는 지금 너무 피곤해요. 잘 자요!
