happyZ’s thrift-date: Korean Series Marathon

Last night, I came over to Bee’s place to visit their dog Mei (and him as well) before I head off to a meeting. Unfortunately, my meeting got cancelled and I decided to stay in because of the rain and did some internet research. I ate dinner there together with his family, I’m really embarrassed eating there most of the time because I feel like I’m an added expense but they’re kind enough to still invite me to eat.

I was supposed to go home after dinner but Bee asked me if I wanted to watch the Korean series we downloaded. I suggested that we just watch an episode of Breaking In (US series) because it would just run for 20min. unlike the Korean series that would run for 1hr/episode.

After watching, I asked Bee to give me a copy of the Korean series so that I could just watch it at home. He kind of implied that we watch together, so I decided to stay. We ended up watching 3 episodes, that’s 3 hours! But I guess time flies when you’re having fun. The series was really entertaining and fun to watch. It was also the perfect cuddle weather.

This is a simple date idea for those of you who are a bit short on date money but still want to spend time with your bf/gf without stressing your wallet.

Btw, speaking of Korean series, there will be a Korean Film Festival in selected SM Supermalls (please see photo). Free admission! 

Spellbound: A romantic comedy with horror elements starring the beautiful actress Son Ye Jin ("Personal Taste," "April Snow"). It's about a road magician and his muse who is haunted by ghosts.

Jeon Woo Chi: The story of a playful apprentice who gets imprisoned in a scroll. He is set free 500 years later.

Bunt: A survival story of a mentally challenged child who initially fills drinking water from a kettle. His task is soon overshadowed by the arrival of a water purifier.

A Barefoot Dream: A sports drama about a former soccer prospect who goes for his dreams of joining the International Youth Soccer Championships despite hindrances.

Late Blossom: The heartwarming story of two couples who live close to each other.

Arahan: About a police rookie who's honest yet klutzy.

Highway Star: A musical comedy about a singer who dreams of becoming a rock star but is forced to play trot to make ends meet.

We’ve watched Highway Star starring Cha Tae-hyun (of My Sassy Girl).I highly recommend this comedy. You’ll be amazed by Tae Hyun’s voice. :D

Expense: the basics, electricity required :D

Quality time: 100%

“Preserving Mankind with Kojie.san Men”

“How can one preserve the concept of manliness in this modern age of liberal views and cultural influences?” 

Manliness in the old days were defined by hunting skills, battle scars and a rugged physique. Men have the innate drive to gain power and be seen as the dominant specie. Man's number one role is to provide, so taking care of their looks is the least priority and often seen as a sign of a femininity. 

Today, men have evolved from looking like a caveman into being clean and classy. Men are really simple, they often start with the basics- look, feel and smell good. Manly for me is being able to openly express emotion but not succumb to it, taking control and shifting to solution mode.Being openly conscious about your looks is not a sign of femininity but a responsible act  of maintaining a good personal hygiene. 

Before, men have to work twice as hard than women when it comes to taking care of their skin because there were no skin care products dedicated for men and they only use what is available in the market. Seeing a man buy beauty products, often with pastel colored packaging, creates an impression of being gay and thus makes them feel ashamed. Good thing Kojie.san came up with a men's line featuring three products that will cover their basic needs. 

LOOK GOOD: Kojie.san Men soap, it contains CellActive®, which accelerates healing of micro shaving cuts, improves skin’s stress resistance and develops firmness. Together with Laricyl®, it tightens the pores and moisturizes skin. 

FEEL GOOD BY MOISTURIZING: Kojie.san Men Lotion contains both CellActive® and Laricyl® plus Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, shea butter and mentyl lactate. For a smooth and supple skin. 

SMELL GOOD: The deodorant and body spray for that fresh and clean feel all day. Now cuddling up to your man becomes addicting.
