I believe…I'm back into a Kdrama slump. I'm not sure if you guys remembered, but basically, I had been in a slump after I finished with City Hunter and even though I tried watching other kdramas, nothing seemed good at all. Until I got bored and decided to watch Moon That Embraces The Sun (yep, so I was on the boat since it first started, and not like after it got famous…so it's quite amazing to see how its popularity went from okay-ish to boom!) which then brought me out of my slump.  But I think I'm going back in. I don't know. Nothing that has been showing during the span of Moon That Embraces The Sun appeals to me, and while I remain open-minded to upcoming shows like Love Rain, King2Hearts and Fashion King, I feel a lack of excitement. I got Shut Up Flower Boy Band loaded already, so hopefully it's going to at least sate my drama urge for now.  <3thoughtsramble

Haha I'm only writing about this, because this place is primarily a place for my thoughts to ramble on…and so, my words are merely a process of my thoughts, and not necessarily a conclusion of my feelings.  For the past few months, I've been following more drama blogs. I didn't do that previously, because I didn't want someone else's writing style affects what I'm thinking and feeling, but lately most of the blogs I follow don't quite write on the same things as I do, and I realise that reading their sites won't quite bring any negative impacts. The thing is, the more I expand the zone of exploration, the more it hits me…that there are quite a few sites out there that are quite famous within a year of setting up. It didn't matter whether they are good or not (I'm not here to criticise) but I could see the amount of effort that has gone into the websites and I'm glad that they have grown so much.  But this leaves me thinking…(once again, …

Hey guys:D I miss doing my updates, so here they are!(:  If you guys follow closely, you might have already realised that I'm no longer doing full recaps of Pretty Little Liars, and I haven't done the last episode of Strawberry Night either. Coming to these decisions was really hard, and it weighed on my 'conscience' because having the freedom to write on whatever I want and like, teeters closely, to me, on the line of being irresponsible towards my readers who actually look forward or need those recaps. But I've still decided ultimately, that this is the best way for me(: I wouldn't want to reiterate on the same things again, and I've been following closely what I promise myself a few months ago: http://thoughtsramble.livejournal.com/81357.html   so here it is, if you want to understand better the rationale behind this. I'm watching Dream High on the side too!((: I couldn't resist the urge to watch Kim Soo Hyun in the end, and succumbed to it…but I'm still remaining on neutral grounds towards this show. Yes, I …

Yes, that's me yearning for sleep. It has been such a mad week of hectic rush that I could barely take time out to watch anything, much less to recap. Hopefully I will still be able to recap when I'm free (Moon That Embraces The Sun is a must) but I think I might have to drop a few! We will see how.  Busyyy. Why can't we have more than 24 hours a day, or just need like 3 hours of sleep per day?:P <3thoughtsramble

Phew! I finally cleared my stash of recaps to do and I'm so glad even though I have been really inactive for the past week, none of you guys ditched me, thanks so much for that!  I will always proof read my entries before posting them up/after, but the past few days have taken their toil on me and I'm sooo tired (Physically. Mentally, I'm so ready to do more recaps!:P) so I can't bring myself to read the chunk of words that I myself had written. Hence, I apologise for any grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes/ whatever, and if you must, you can always leave me a comment to point out a really blaring mistake and I will correct it immediately!(:  Not much to update on actually. You guys know which are the four dramas that I'm on right now, and I'm watching Vampire Diaries on-off. When I do watch the episodes, you will know because I will spam with screenshots:P  All right, here I go! And hopefully this week will be better.  <3thoughtsramble

I've realised that something is wrong with my Episode 8 Recap on The Moon That Embraces The Sun because it got crawled way slower than any of my previous entries, and thanks to how slow it got crawled, it affected the 'ranking' it appeared on Google Search (not too sure about the other search engines).  That was kind of a put-off, because I woke up really early (like wayyy earlier) just to write the recap (was so excited to watch it haha, and then share my thoughts) and! Now this means that hardly anyone reads the Episode 8 recap. Okay not really, but probably half of the readers of Episode 7's Recap.  I don't get it –how can just a day make so much difference in the crawling speed?– so it was a bit of an anti-climax.  Right, but this isn't a post to complain!(: It's just to tell you guys, especially those who check for regular updates on this drama's recaps/ another other series', that should you not be able to find my recaps …

Haha it hasn't been very long since my last update post but I'm itching to write so here it is anyway:D  It's rather confirmed that I will be carrying on with the recaps of Pretty Little Liars. They don't give me a lot of viewers, but who cares, I love that show lol. I feel like taking on a couple of drama series to recap, but they all happen to be released at the same period of time (Tuesday-Thursday) and so I shall not name them first, in case I didn't manage to pick up all of them in the end…but if I do, then it will be the most number of dramas that I've picked up at the same time, during the course of thoughtsramble. Which is also another reason why it might not happen, since 3 dramas were the max that I've gone before (Autumn's Concerto, Keizoku's Spec 2 and Secret Garden, which were mini-recaps, not full ones).  But I'm really excited to start writing on them! Jan-Feb's probably the only free period …

Sometimes, it gets hard to remind myself to be contented with just how far I've come. Yep, here's that once in a while post while I rant a bit and forget about it till the next time the mood strikes right again.  It's not going to be a rant this time; it's just me feeling a bit/quite a bit melancholic. I'm proud of how far I've come, yep, and I've made a few friends with some of my readers, who actually regularly posted comments. True, they come and go, but I'm happy that they even bothered at one point of time. But sometimes, even when I know that I've improved, I've gained more readers, I've hopefully gained more popularity, it still makes me sad to know that I'm not there at all. My improvement takes many months, while others probably leap a few hundreds or even thousands in a few. It most probably doesn't ring true when any of us drama bloggers say that we don't care about our statistics. Yeah, some of us check …

Gah, I'm running out of things to watch! I'm patiently waiting for Pretty Little Liars to be released on 2nd Jan, kinda dropped Future Diary and Phi Brain (not in the mood right now) and watching Colour of A Woman! But it isn't terribly interesting; I'm only hanging on for Jae Hee, and to watch Byun So Ra (hopefully) transforms because I know that the actress is quite pretty! I'm thinking of Padam Padam because I loveeed Kim Bum from Boys Over Flowers, but he's the second lead   Suggestions anyone?? I think I'm in a particularly picky mood right now. <3thoughtsramble

After quite a long break, I need a few days to get on track with all the dramas that I've been missing out, and I promise I will get down to replying the comments in a few hours!(((: It's nice to come home to comments hehe.  I will probably do a few more posts in the next few days because right now I feel like it:P  What a short post. Lol.  <3thoughtsramble

Hey guys!(: I'm so glad that I managed to finish In Time With You recaps before I go on a holiday, and yes I'm going on a holiday!(: Shush on where I'm going, but I'm pretty excited about it. This means that I will be absent for a very, very short period of time, probably just a week…but I wouldn't want you guys to think this is a temporary break or something! I've been catching up with an American drama, Pretty Little Liars, and so far I loveee it. Putting aside the cute and good looking guys, I thought the creepy elements were well done! I just hope that they would be able to come up with a satisfactory explanation as to who on earth A was. Favourite guys right now are Toby and the ex-fiancé of Melissa (not really a huge fan with Mr Fitz…besides I don't get it why it must be either a break up or a risk-all dating kinda thing. Why can't they just hold it off until she graduated from high …

I have been thinking hard about this, and I realise that it has been inevitable all along.  Yep that same old line about: Not Enough Time.  It has come to a stage that if I want to do recaps, it's going to take a toll on things that I want to do in my personal life. If I want to do recaps, I can't watch as many things as I want to, read as many books as I want to, and learn as many things as I want to. A reader once told me that this is my livejournal, I should be the one to decide when I want to ramble along about some drama, but as time goes by, I can't help but feel obliged, or this sense of responsibility, to update…I mean, I want to do a good job after all.  But I will come out straight here about something that some of my readers already know, and that's the fact that I'm still a student. That means that I have workloads and …

Have been away for many days… let's just say that I'm taking a mini-break and I might still continue to do so for the next few days! No worries though, I will still try to churn out In Time With You recaps as fast as possible, so that you guys can get updated, but as of the moment, you can tell that Nazotoki Wa Dinner No Ato De's recaps are not being done as fast.  I have a reason though!:P Other than going out everyday, I'm also trying hard to keep up with my reading-list and to-watch list, thus virtually having no time to update here. I finished Samurai High School, and am on Kuroshitsuji Season 2!(: I tried reading some manga  on the computer (failed to do so for the past years because I was just too impatient with how I have to click and wait for each page to load) as well haha!  So yep, all in all, I need more time and more sleep, but what's new!:P Gonna start working on recaps soon …

Just dropping by to tell you guys that I haven't dropped off the edge of the world. Haha! It's because I'm really hard up for time —  I need to carry on with all my drama,anime and movie watching while at the same time, juggling my other commitments, so this leaves no time space for doing recaps/reviews. But don't worry! I might get a breather soon, so do look forward to that, because then you will face an onslaught of reviews and recaps(: In case you've missed out, Junpei Mizobata is my current favourite. But just a few days ago, I found another guy that is likeable — Haruma Miura!(: I've already watched one of his dramas before, the one with Toda Erika, but honestly that one wasn't very good in my opinion (and gosh I only realise it after looking up his profile, they added many years to his character in that show, didn't they?) so it didn't register…but I watched Kimi ni Todoke the movie the other day and it was so sweet!(: …

Yep in reference to two posts earlier, nope you are not looking at the layout that I mentioned (the flowers and the green). Decided to change it after all to something simpler and plainer haha:P  <3thoughtsramble

I like knowing where I stand.  I want to write entries that people will read and be motivated to leave a comment, which is happening I'm glad, but not as many as I'd have wished to see. I mean, what's the use of having many readers when they just come and go?  I don't know, am probably just in one of rare I'm-actually-caring-about-this mood which will bypass pretty soon, but for now, allow me a rant.  Saying things like oh I shouldn't compare with the other drama blogs out there won't work, because I should compare right? There must be something that I work towards to, but I don't know what. Someone really nice offered to talk about my livejournal on her livejournal, but that offer was like one year back and I don't think she did it in the end, but I really appreciated the offer. I mean, sometimes I get really happy because my livejournal is actually known and recommended for some recaps by others, but I don't know just how successful, or …

Lol I just like that word as a substitute of 'Updates'…. feels like I'm telling you guys scoops of what's going on in my dramalife:P  Anyway, here's a short post 😛 I'm utterly hooked on Heartstrings!!!!!!!! Okay plot wise, obviously it's no where as brilliant as City Hunter, but I do know that they are kinda in different genres, and hence it will be quite stupid to compare whether which one is better in terms of plot. Yong Hwa was absolutely lovable and his acting really improved. Kudos! WHOO WHAT DID I TELL YOU GUYS, THAT SHIN WOO WAS MORE SUITABLE FOR MI NAM MORE THAN TAE KYUANG?? (LOLL sorry shin woo fan here:PPPP) Well his chemistry with Park Shin Hye is quite awesome and SO SWEET. (In case you are wondering why the sudden onslaught of caps and exclamation marks, this is because I've just finished watching episode 10, where Shin kissed Gyu Won in front of all the girls<33)  Still watching Hana Kimi Remake of course, do check out the Recaps.  Last Episode of …

Gosh sometimes I wish that I think it through more carefully haha. I’m currently in this dilemma…. of thinking if I should go forth and make a decision. If I do, it comes off as hypocritical because after all, I’ve voiced out my opinions about why I dislike it….and to accept it now, wouldn’t it seem as if I have two sides? And I don’t like that, because one shouldn’t be hypocritical at all…. but while my opinions still remain the same, it doesn’t mean that I have to restrict myself just because of my opinions right? Besides, if I don’t ever try, I won’t ever know… Haha yes you can see that I’m stuck. Brilliant.  <3thoughtsramble

Lol I really should come up with a special name for these kind of posts other than a plain old ‘Updates’ Haha!  Anyway, lately I’ve been watching Majo Saiban, a jap drama which I will probably do a review on in good time… recapping City Hunter’s episodes (Episode 14 is out, have a look!), trying to start on Hayate the Combat Butler but I’m rather unused to watching nonsensical elements hahah! Well it takes some time to get un-used to City Hunter/ Majo Saiban’s kind of plot, so I guess…. yep I will try to get back into the rom-coms again lol. Thinking of getting restarted on Heartstrings as well, especially since Yong Hwa looks really good there together with Park Shin Hye but I really hope things pick up soon, or I will just die at the end of episode 3 again. Any good dramas to recommend?XD <3thoughtsramble
