i have this uncanny tendency to do extremely unproductive things as the exams approach.

watched two rather interesting korean movies on youtube. first being The Beast and the Beauty which has a pretty unique storyline, i thought. it's about this plain and rather clumsy man who falls in love with a beautiful blind girl and helps her make her world beautiful and exciting with his imagination. but then, she goes for an operation to regain her eyesight and he's afraid to face her because of his unspectacular looks. so he goes for plastic surgery, but it only makes it worse and blahblahblah. hahah. but what i thought was interesting was how the blind girl's world was actually prettier and more magical when she couldn't see. pretty depressing huh.

the other one i just finished watching was 200 Pounds of Beauty, yes the one that's showing in cinemas now. i just saved 8bucks! haha. i really liked this one! a synopsis can't really do it justice, but it's about a fat and ugly girl who goes for plastic surgery to become beautiful. i know, sounds like extreme makeover or the swan, but the story is really quite endearing. and it gives a peek into the korean culture of plastic surgery which is actually quite frightening.

so yes. um i have nothing to say for myself now. i will go some readings! ugh.
