My drama break is almost over! I'm going to work on the summary for the third episode of Love Contract sometime this weekend. Unfortunately I also have a test next week (I have a week to complete it), so I might have to postpone stuff, but yeah!
Even though I've started watching Corner with Love, I'm going to be watching it seriously soon. In my drama break, I managed to watch the Harry Potter 5 movie (which I've been wanting to see for like, a year...) It was super good! I disliked the book (it's my least favorite out of them, though 7 comes in a close second), but I knew it would make a fabulous movie (the action scenes, and whatnot). So yeah. It was fun!
I've been spending a lot of time researching living and working and learning in Taiwan. My mandarin has progressed... not amazingly or anything, but I do know around 22 characters (meaning I can recognize them, write them in traditional, know their meaning, and know how to pronounce them (and write them in pinyin)). I can recognize (and know the meaning of, and how to pronounce) a bunch more. I also have characters I see all the time, but either don't know how to pronounce, or don't know the meaning of. I'm proud of myself! 22 is better than nothing!
I can say short, basic things in Mandarin. Like, "hello", "how are you", "goodbye", "thank you", "I'm sorry", "okay", "no", "yes", "I don't know", "haven't", "good luck", etc. In sentences, I can recognize words... it's weird to think that 4 months ago I had no clue how to say ANYTHING in chinese... and now I understand some stuff!
Though I haven't finished the first episode of Corner with Love, I have to say, 大S is freaking gorgeous in this drama! I mean, she was always pretty, but in her previous dramas, she was always made to look plain and a little mousey. This is the first drama I've seen her in where she's all made up all the time, and in pretty dresses (which I want so badly! Her wardrobe is fabulous in the first episode, at least!). And I kinda hate her, because despite being 31 in the drama, she looks like she's barely 20!
