Helloooooooo! It's been quite some time since my last post and thanks to my sister who persuaded me to continue my blogging, I am now back and scribbling away. Over the last couple of years, I juggled a long-distance relationship (no longer long-distance) and a business of my own. So I have been keeping myself quite busy.
When I got some downtime, I have been continuing my explorations in Seoul, reading couple of books here and there, watching many, many, many movies with my movie-loving fiancé. Recently, I have been exploring videos on YouTube (I used to have this activity) and Vogue's YouTube Channel has been very interesting. Especially the 73 Questions! My personal favorites are the interviews with Anna Wintour and Carrie Bradshaw. Oops, I mean Sarah Jessica Parker. I'm still watching Sex and the City, whenever I get the mood for some girl-talk and drama.
