Ahh it's been such a long time since i wrote here. I got busy with school and stuff... I started watching Kdramas and Variety shows from Korea. I watch for the sake of watching really. But they have humour and culture in their shows and the kind of humour is different from the ones that we see in Japanese shows. The people are also very stringent when it comes to respecting the elders. Especially things like when speaking to or about an elder.

So if you are a guy and you are speaking about/to another guy elder, you have to address him as "Hyung" which means elder brother for a guy. But if you are a guy and talking about or to a girl elder, you have to address her as "Noona". This is different for girls though. For a girl who is speaking about or to a guy elder, she will have to address him as "Oppa". And if to a girl elder, it would be "Unni". The term that they address younger people would be "dongsaeng" which means someone who is younger. So if someone is saying "I have a younger brother", that person would say "I have a nam dongsaeng." If it's for a younger sister then it would be "I have a yeo dongsaeng." "Nam" mean guy. "Yeo" means girl.

A little too much? Nah i don't think so... I picked up the language while watching the variety shows of course. I want to learn as many languages as possible because someone told me it slows down the rate of senility.

I joined several forums which are fanbases of KPop artistes or bands. I made Korean friends there and i even gotten one who is a guy. AN OPPA! The best thing is that he is training to be a Kpop idol. He kinda made a promise to me that he will still speak to me if he debuts. I shouldn't keep my hopes high but well... It's an OPPA! What can i say?... Okay, i have to go and do homework... And i have to go for Gamelan practice later... I have two upcoming shows...

Here's a Picture from the variety show that i'm watching called Family Outing. The guest was Rain Bi!
