DinDin is DinDin and he is the love, I swear

One of reason I love Lim Cheol so much.

Few days ago I have received my 'Little Waves' album that I waited for a long time (release date - 2021.11.19). Look what a cute card I have!

At the moment I grab the album in my hands for the first time...I actually feel the love. Texture of the materials, quality of the paper, design of the pages — all in 'Little waves' was made with love and it's obviously.

I'm in love with every single page of the photobook.

But to be honest it's not just a photobook, because 'Little Waves' physical version includes photos, lyrics. credits, card (1 of 6), bookmark and, of course, CD and...beautiful story written by DinDin. Did I say I love him? I love him. More than words can say.

How he can be so cute, adorable and charming? May police arrest him for steal my heart?

That's all the adults' fault

New NETFLIX series from Korea enquires the world. Again.

'All Of Us Are Dead' - the worldwide title of this K-drama means that the pupils are dead for the government and military if they are still alive in the zombie apocalypse and it's so sad!

Original title is different. I understand '우리 지금 학교는' (we can translate as Now We Are School) as 1) children was locked up in their school and 2) children had become the impersonal object (that is not important at all), but they are still surviving in this f***ing school.

If we look at the situation from the point of view of children, the adults are really to blame. Who did ignore bullying in the school? Who did shift the blame for bullying at school onto the victims? Who did leave the teen girl alone with pregnancy? Who did verbally humiliate a young athlete in front of team members? Finally, who did leave the children alone in hell?

You can say that there was a biologist who wanted to stop bullying. Really? He is a mad scientist, but it is another story. What about the teacher which saved Nayeon? Yes, she sacrificed her life for this girl, but the way she was passive when Nayeon and Gyeongsu were making the air blue... Eventually, she became a murderer because she had a feeling she can do anything without punishment.

By and large, Gwinam is just an insecure child with ton of complexes.

Onjo's father and a detective are characters we can not reproach. They are true heroes.

I liked this series and its message.

Humans just have to be humans. The adults have to be responsible for children.

That's all.

One day...I will be there

I have a dream. My dream is to travel to South Korea. I have planned this trip for about 2 years, but the pandemic spoiled my plans. I hope one day I can arrive at Incheon Airport with my Mom and a pretty big suitcase because I want to take away so much stuff from Korea! One day, I hope...

What is the place I want to make for in Seoul first of all? I dreamt of this so many times! It may be funny, but first of all, I want to go to one of the cute small cafes near our hotel and make an order speaking Korean. Korean people adore coffee culture so you can find a cute place without any problems.

Then, I'm going to wander through Seoul streets staring at everything with big eyes. Maybe I have a very commonplace mind so on the first day of the travel, I want to walk the Myeongdong-street. I'm mad about k-food and there are so many street foods that I want to try! Tteokbokki, eomuk, sundae, cheese corndog, tornado potato are tasty items I'll look for the Myeongdong.

What is the next destination? I can walk from Myeongdong to DDP - Dongdaemun Design Plaza. It's a hot place for tourists and Seoul visitors because of its unusual architecture.

Then I want to go to Bukchon Hanok Village to pull into the atmosphere of ancient Joseon. You can rent a hanbok (traditional clothes) to making amazing photos nearby. That's my plan (wait for my photos on Instagram).

Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Cheonggyecheon, Han River, Lotte World Tower, Olympic Park. There are dozens and dozens of places I want to visit, there are so many plans I want to do in motion. One day, I hope...

bibimbap — a Korean dish that everybody should try!

what do you know about Korean food? have you ever heard about kimchi, ramen, tteokbokki, kimbap or soju? I think you have. must have, because of last several years k-wave's power is taking over a world.

and what about bibimbap? I bet most of you've never heard about it. take a look at it...IT'S FREAKING DELICIOUS, isn't it?

@mistyyoon on Instagram

how does it taste? for me like a paradise! ideal prepared white rice with rice vinegar on the bottom of the cast-iron bowl and delicious toppings on the top: fried or raw meat, spinach, carrot, mushrooms, soy sprouts egg and a spoon of spicy red chilli paste gochujang – ingredients that you can find in bibimbap. but there are different variations!

how to eat it? bibimbap is 비빔밥 in Korean, so verb 비비다 means "to mix". just take a spoon in your hand and mix it well! I'm sure you will fall in love with bibimbap from the first bite!

if you'll ask me what my favourite traditional Korean dish is, I definitely will give you one answer. It's bibimbap, of course. I cook it in my kitchen very often. The photo under this text is proof :)

so if you will be in Korea or go to a Korean restaurant and have no idea what to try — make sure to order bibimbap. if you want to try this appetizing dish — go and check out recipes on YouTube or message me, you're welcome!

what's your favourite Korean dish?

let me introduce you to some new thangs (no)

Hi there, I'm Nastya* and now you are reading the very first post of my blog! 

what's the reason have I decided to start a blog?

a purpose is to improve my language skills. not only English writing language skills, because I'm learning Korean for 3 years and it's still a long way, but I promise to do my best while learning both languages.

I don't want to write essays into an offline file saved on my Macbook or the page of my exercise book, I want to publish them, so here I am :)

which stuff will be posted here?

I really don't know. I cannot imagine a final picture "how it started - how it's going" (I am a Gemini, lol).

I wish I will post English and Korean texts here regularly – about everyday life, my plans and dreams, learning languages etc. But no one forbade me to post photos, because photography is my hobby.

maybe one day I'll have a strong desire to post k-pop memes and smuts (because I'm a k-pop fan, especially NCTzen and moonctzen) or something different? Who knows ;)

who can send me messages?

everybody! I'll be happy to receive a message here or through Instagram Direct, so we can talk about learning languages, sports, k-pop, k-food (Korean culture is my inch), cats, Harry Potter series or other themes. It'll be great if I will find a study buddy here — you're welcome :)

it seems like I should stop, so I do stop. 

Good luck and 화이팅! 

*Nastia - is a correct variant, but you can call me (monster) Nastya, bc I call myself this way!
