Taiwanese Milk Tea

I've been googling the brand name of this milk tea since I couldn't read the bottle, but whatever, the picture should pretty much speak for itself. It's a brand of bottled milk tea from Taiwan and slowly gaining popularity in Korea as well. They get sold out pretty quickly, so when my colleague found three different flavors at the convenience store, she immediately bought all of them. And naturally, this caught my attention and I asked if I could buy one from her and taste it myself. ^_^

The shape of the bottle is quite peculiar and not what you'd normally use for a beverage. When I first saw it I thought it was a cosmetic product or something. I think it would feel a bit more comfortable if I were to pour it separately into a cup before drinking it, because drinking straight from a bottle which looks like that, just doesn't feel right. Nevertheless, it tasted quite lovely and very rich, much more authentic than the Korean milk tea cartons sold in convenience stores, or even the milk tea sold in most Korean cafes. I did a quick read through the ingredients though, and sadly the percentage of actual tea is pathetically low. But what does that matter? It tastes amazing.

Brazilian Wax in Korea at [Beauty Friends Gangnam]

A girl's first bikini wax, let alone Brazilian, can be quite daunting. If you're well aware of the sensations from plucking your eyebrows, or have tried strip waxing on safer areas like the legs or arms, you would surely be intimidated by the mere thought of having that exact sharp and prickly pain brought upon your most intimate area, where the skin is much thinner and super sensitive. That being said, I have no idea what I was thinking when I went for the all-nude Brazilian wax instead of going for standard bikini on my first try. But anyhow, since I've got my first experience out of the way, it doesn't seem like such a big deal.

Andrea Martin - Breaking Of My Heart (Lyrics)

Here's my story behind this song and its lyrics: I came across this song by total chance (via a remix made in 2013) and I was completely hooked. I hadn't heard of the singer Andrea Martin before, so obviously this song was unfamiliar too. But something about it drew me in and this is all I listened to for the past couple of days. I wanted to know the lyrics and googled it... and I couldn't find anything. There are lyric pages under this song title but it's completely wrong, probably a different song or something. This was a rare occasion in which Google failed me, and I was completely baffled. I'm guessing this song wasn't very well known if the lyrics were this hard to find, but still. Anyway, so for the handful of people in search of the lyrics like me, I've tried transcribing the song myself. Some parts weren't very clear so I just wrote what seemed reasonable, but they can totally be wrong. If anyone could provide the offiical lyrics that woul...

"Good Morning S" (굿모닝에스) Korean Laxative is Seriously Awesome

It's time for some dirty talk - literally dirty, as in poop. So constipation is something I've been dealing with since birth. My mom would tell me that when I was a baby, she had to dig out my poop with a cotton swab because it always seemed stuck halfway. While my brother would effortlessly shoot out copious amounts of poop that sometimes even clogged the toilet from its tremendous amounts and thickness; I'd sit for long, excruciating minutes, with my red little face scrunched up in pain, failing to do the same. I don't think it changed much as I grew older. Daily bowel movement, or even regular bowel movement, is not something I can relate to. I envy with a passion those lucky bastards who wake up every morning and can take a successful dump each time. Me, I'm always counting the last time I went to the bathroom; calculating, worrying, trying to find some sort of permanent solution. I've tried plenty of home remedies: sweet potatoes, all sorts of vegetable...
