Lb2 and I are going to try our hands at dyeing fabric in the coming weeks. Whether we succeed or fail, I will be sure to let you know. As we have quite a few lung sensitive people in our house, we are going to try natural dyes we can find around our home so we don't mess with any one. Also, we are cheap. If we don't need to send money, we won't. Look up the price of dyes and you will see what I mean.
We are still in prep mode. You know, finding the fabric we want to dye, finding and/or prepping said dyes, ect. By June I want to give this a solid go so trial runs are planned as well.
Pictures and details will be coming in the future so stay tuned. This is either going to be my epic success or fail of the year! I am a swirling pit of anxiety now so feel free to leave me a message below.
I started this show on Sunday evening and am already 2/3 of the way through. I'll be honest, I went into it expecting to be underwhelmed. But I was pleasantly surprised by the story lines and pace. Trailer and synopsis below.
Set in the near future, a high-rise apartment building has been newly constructed in the big city. The apartment building has residents from diverse backgrounds, but a new infectious disease breaks out. Because of the outbreak, the high-rise apartment is sealed off. The residents struggle to survive, while stricken with fear and distrust of others.
Yoon Sae-Bom (Han Hyo-Joo) is a member of a special police squad. She is decisive, determined, and does not easily get rattled. She is excited to move into her new apartment, but, as soon as moves there, she faces a criss.
Jung Yi-Hyun (Park Hyung-Sik) is a detective. He is smart and honest. For a long time, he has held romantic feelings for Yoon Sae-Bom. They graduated from the same high school. Jung Yi-Hyun struggles to protect Yoon Sae-Bom and other people.
Han Tae-Seok (Jo Woo-Jin) is a lieutenant colonel and belongs to the health service command. He holds a key on the infectious disease outbreak.
Han Tae-Seok is a character that is beautifully mysterious and complex. I have a lot of love and hate for him. Like, I get why he does the things he does but I don't approve of his methods. But I get it.
Yoon Sae-Bom and Jung Yi-Hyun are #relationshipgoals. They have each others backs unconditionally. He knows she's strong but where he can, he will protect her. And She lets him be him. Yoon Sae-Bom rarely ever questions what he's doing because she knows he's only got the well-being of everyone at the forefront of his mind. Their communication lines are always open so we don't waste time on stupid miscommunication issues.
Anyway, I got 4 more episodes to go out of this 12 episode series. Give it a try if blood zombies and open communication are what you feel a sudden craving for. Sidenote: you might get a mild complex if you get thirsty while watching the show. Just thought I would warn you.
Last week, I caved and bought a new Micro SD card. I waited and was still sleeping when the sibs brought me the package. Picture a sleep-dazed person opening a package. That was me. Thankfully, I drive my parents nuts with how neat I open gifts and packages. So I was only a little messy.
But once I had the little box out, I stared at it for three whole minutes before I realized they sent me the wrong item. By then I was fully awake and frustrated. I hate going through the whole refund process. I would have much rather had my card.
I don't know if I will try to order another one immediately or not. I might wait a few weeks then try again. This is one of the downsides of online shopping I guess. As always, feel free to leave me a message below.
Yesterday I discovered this Korean Beat boxing group, Beatpella House. I always had a soft spot for beatboxing as I was introduced to it at a young age by one of my cousins. I'm not any good but I can do it a little. Finding Beatpella House made me want to tell my cousin about it.
Beatpella House is a South Korean beatbox-acapella group. The group consists of 4 beatboxers Wing, Hiss, Hellcat, Huckle and one singer Yella.E. They are so incredibly skilled. Videos below.
I hope you enjoyed that. As always, feel free to leave me a message below.
Lady Ilyana D'Arcane watched helplessly as her family was executed for treason. In her final moments, she made a desperate wish — and woke up two years in the past, on her wedding day to a man she no longer loved.
Armed with knowledge of the future, Ilyana must navigate the treacherous waters of court politics, plots, and assassinations, if she is to save her family. Before long, she is drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Prince Anderic Voltaire, the kingdom's most dangerous predator — and the very man who sealed her family's fate in her past life.
In a court where every smile hides a dagger and every whisper is a poison, can Ilyana change her destiny without losing herself — or her heart — in the process?
Villainess's Redemption by Vanessa Rhoswen is the first installment in a captivating time travel romance duology, where the lines between good and evil are blurred, and the past and present collide.
Tropes :
Time travel / Reincarnation
Slow burn
Enemies to lover
The blurb really doesn't do this book enough justice. If you have ever read a Korean manhwa/novel or watched a k-drama, you will love this book. Vanessa Rhoswen did an excellent job of writing a novel that felt artist-ready. I can totally see Webtoon picking this up if it ever got turned into a manhwa.
This is what I read Saturday evening. Do you know I have spent every day since then kicking myself? I never read unfinished series as a rule and this is why. It ended on a epic cliffhanger and I have no idea when book 2 will be published. That is my only problem here.
Ilyana is sassy, beautiful hot mess and I'm here for it. I love how she included her family in her "Let's not get killed this time" list. Her interactions and dialogue with Prince Anderic are *chefs' kiss*. Ilyana as a main character is perfect as you see so much growth and development. I'm hoping book 2 lives up to the pacing, humor, and drama of book 1.
It is so cold right now. There is snow on the ground outside and peanut butter cookies inside. I'm going to hunker down in a corner with half a dozen cookies, a book, and a blanket. I'll let the sibs tell me when the snow is gone.
The other night I started a new K drama sans siblings. The Kidnapping Day is equal parts thriller, comedic, and wholesome. Honestly, I don't think I ever thought I'd see a kidnapper who is so wholesome I'd consider him for a babysitting gig. I will let the show synopsis and trailer speak for itself as I don't want to spoil this show too much.
Kim Myeong-Jun is a poor man with a warm-heart. He desperately needs money to pay for his sick daughter's operation. At this time, his ex-wife appears and offers to kidnap 11-year-old Choi Ro-Hee, who has rich parents. Kim Myeong-Jun is desperate enough that he accepts her offer. For the kidnapping, Kim Myeong-Jun drives near Choi Ro-Hee's home, but he accidentally hits someone with his car. The person he hit is Choi Ro-Hee. She has lost her memory due to the car accident.
Kim Myeong-Jun takes Choi Ro-Hee to his house and he begins to live with her. Choi Ro-Hee believes Kim Myeong-Jun is her father. She is an extremely smart girl. Meanwhile, Kim Myeong-Jun wants to return Choi Ro-Hee to her parents, but they don't answer the phone. He decides to go their house and find out why. There, Kim Myeong-Jun witnesses her parents' dead bodies being carried out of their home. Making things worse, Choi Ro-Hee realizes that Kim Myeong-Jun is not her father and he is lying about their relation.
I only watched the first four episodes so I got eight more left. I can't wait to find what on earth is happening. There are so many layers. As always, feel free to leave me a message below.
P.S. I finished it! I adore this show. Plot twists all the way!
