naanima: (WOE ME and EATING)
Sleeping patterns are really screwed up.

Hmm, nerves and stress about the exams are finally kicking in. I've got 9 days to study so, that's 3 days per unit; 3 exams in 2 days, then another 3 days to study for the last exam... I want to watch Korean soap opera.

The lack of AC good fanfiction hurts.

I like the eeeh, very becoming :p Thanks *snuggles*

(Nothing specific, just the Love-Traingle ones, where it is really difficult for the main heroine to pick between the Two Main Protagonist because they are equally nice in their own way. So, um, ANGST, PAIN, and finally a happy ending for the couple (whomever she picks,) and EMO for the Protagonist left behind. (I usually root for the guy who doesn't win. Don't know why, it is like watching Meteor Garden and rooting for Hua Ze Lei, when I know he was not going to get Shan Cai because you know, based on Hana Yori Dango. Or watching Dolphin Bay, and knowing the jerk-yet-really-nice-guy was gonna lose to the childhood love interest. I put myself through I tell you, always rooting for the one who doesn't get the girl.)

P.S. Watch Meteor Garden 1 (NEVER watch the second series; it will only make you growl and snarl... though if you can get someone to only tape you the good bits int he second series.) I was all Holier Than Thou when I first encountered MG, I mean a Taiwanese soap opera based on a Japanese manga. Hah, I can do so much better. And then I didn't sleep for 40 or so hours watching the series (and re-watching bits).I cried until I was in pain, and it was one of my most satisfying soap opera watches. I feel all nostalgic.

If you don't want a Korean soap opera where that happens, don't watch Full House. In that one I was rooting all the way for the other guy. XD

No, no, no. You don't understand; I adore watching series like that. It fulfills a part of me that goes "OMFG! Love the GUY who LOSES!" And then make HORRIBLE poetry (in Chinese), and think of post-series fanfic where it is half narrated in Chinese, but mostly written in English about the 'Guy-who-loses.' And somewhere along the line it ends being a 3some, and I'm liek "OMFG! I am so COOL!" ... Until, you know, reality wakes me up, but that's a whole different story.

So, um, yes -_-

Hahaha, then you should definitely watch Full House. XD

Hmm, hybrid Chinese-English fanfic? That's a new innovation I haven't heard of. Maybe that can become a new genre. XD

I have this sneaking suspcion that I have already seen it.

Not quite sure if I'd call it a hybrid... see, I watch these soapies in Mandarin, so, all possible dialogue that I'd think the characters would say are in Mandarin; all the nuances (accents, speech patterns, etc.) My brain seem to be incapable of shifting character-dialogue into English, HOWEVER, the descriptive aspect of every single other thing is in English 'cos I have no idea how it would work in Chinese (my lack of understanding of Chinese is SHAMEFUL! SHAME I SAY!) So, in can imagine it leads to an interesting experience.

It's the Korean one where the heroine has her house stolen and an actor buys it?

Hmm, that is interesting. BTW, do you read fanfiction in Chinese?

Saw 5 mins of it, mum saw the whole thing though ^^

It is interesting. No, my Chinese skills are so bad that reading anything in Chinese cause me massive headaches. The only that I have attempted to read fully in Chinese was the Hikaru no Go series. There was just something about it that made me want to read it in Chinese (as close as I can get to the original Japanese.)
