Hello Once Again…

How long has it been since my last post? Looking back it’s been about three years… wow 3 years eh time sure flies.
I know I was already posting less and less and I did try and get the motivation to post again but I  remember feeling distant towards this blog like I was only posting for the sake of it and just really losing interest. This day and age there are so many other social media platforms and I guess Instagram for the most use out of me.

But I’d like to try again… since I now have the time (what else am I going to do when we’re in the phase of #socialdistancing) but I think I’ll stick to more short and snappy posts than long winded ones.

I am still very much the avid otaku and manga will always be my passion but I have started reading a lot more Manhua (chinese mangas) and Korean webtoons which I’d like to talk about…. I’m still a drama/tv series junkie so I guess this will be my focus…

Hope you all look forward to reading my posts…

x Sel.

HK-Pop: Gone too far to recover?

Being of Cantonese speaking background (however I am not descended from Hong Kong) I have grown up listening to the Cantopop that my parents listened to and I guess you could say that was and still is the best era of Cantonese pop music. Music from the 80s and 90s really were the Golden Ages, creating and producing singers who are now considered ‘legends’ and soaring Cantopop to new heights.

First Look: K-Drama ‘Goblin’

Hot to our screens is new Korean drama Goblin but the official English title is Guardian: The Lonely and Great God 쓸쓸하고 찬란하神-도깨비. Why the long title? can’t answer that I’m afraid as I have no idea either, but international viewers will know it as Goblin.

Review CDrama: Nirvana in Fire 琅琊榜

In fourth century China, there was war between feudal Northern Wei and Southern Liang dynasties. The Liang commander general, Lin Xie, his 19-year-old son, Lin Shu, and the Chiyan Army defeated hostile Wei forces. However, when the Chiyan were weakened from the battle, they were massacred under the Emperor’s orders. Unknown to the king, the Chiyan were framed by political rivals, who claimed that they were conspiring a rebellion with the then-crown prince, Prince Qi. As a result, Prince Qi and members of the Lin manor were also unjustly executed, with Qi’s mother, Consort Chen, and Lin Shu’s mother, committing suicide. ~ Credit: Wikipedia

My New Favourite Lip Tint?

In the last five years or so lip tints have become a staple in any cosmetic brand’s collection. Gone are the days where you would have to dap your lipstick just for a flush of colour as a coloured lip balm usually just did nothing but moisturise your lips.
Anyone into Asian makeup trends will know that lip tints are usually the key to the gradient lip look. This hit trend started off in South Korea and has now become a iconic look for Asian females. Why? Because it just looks so pretty and effortless. Sometimes we just don’t want to wear a full lip of colour.
