A) Old Age and Sentimentality
The running joke between Tracy and I is that both of us are "aunties". Our messages to one another normally begin with "Oi, Aunty" followed by whatever it is we have to say to one another :P I think the silliness is starting to manifest itself in real life XD As the years go by, we seem to be giving each other sentimental presents that seem to increase in their sentimentality as each year goes by. From "birthday scrapbooks/journals" to personalized bookmarks to socks and to stuffed animals (re: Dorkus Marlokus Maximus - pictured above), all of them have a meaning and it's pretty awesome to have virtually just that one person in the world to share them with who knows exactly what each of them mean :D
B) Of Clumsiness and Hangul

B) Of Clumsiness and Hangul
Ever since Trace introduced me to this KDrama You're Beautiful, this beautiful song has been running through my head. It's a song that they play in virtually every episode and is SO easy to play on guitar! It's a little tough to sing, but that's all part of the challenge. In English, the chorus means something like "Without a word, you showed me love... without a word, love left me..." Anyways, it's this really gorgeous song and there are 4 different versions of it used in a drama! You'd think, since it plays every episode, I'd be sick of it but I'm not :) In fact, I romanized the lyrics myself and I've learnt how to play/sing it :D
C) Painted Faces
If you'd asked me 4 years ago to wear make-up, I'd have put up a fuss and eventually gone with as little as possible. If you'd asked me 3 years ago to watch TV shows about fashion, I'd have said no and watched a "Making Of..." special on a music video instead. If you'd asked me 2 years ago to go clothes shopping, I'd have squirmed my way out of it or squirmed my way through it. If you'd ask me last year to actually go and buy make-up for myself, I'd have called you crazy.
Well, this year, I got my first little make-up supplies. Starting with that SilkyGirl LipGloss in Barely Nude (17) [I think that's the name and code, anyway]. The Funky Eyelights in Gold and Blue are my Mum's as well as the eyeliner but I use them more than anyone else in the house :/ I think I'm starting to develop the same kind of love KP has for nail polish and manicures for make-up :) Next on my wishlist: Funky Eyelights in silver and green.
And yes, I am shamelessly a converted SilkyGirl.
