#3GoodThings
🎉 Enjoying the Holidays!
📖 Bought a new book, and I’m looking forward to starting it this weekend.
🌳 Walk in the woods. It was quite pleasant and refreshing. Also saw a squirrel, but I was not quick enough to take a picture of it, so instead, this is just a picture of the trail we took.

I finished the short story 냉장고와 넷플릭스 (Refrigerator & Netflix) by 홍지운 (Hong Jiun), a funny story of a ghost in a refrigerator. It’s from a short stories collection with the same title. With this I have already read my two short stories for this week! #Korean #ReadingChallenge

I could not resist buying Bora Chung (정보라)’s new novel!
The promotion material says that both author Kim Choyeop (김초엽) and translator Anton Hur recommend it.
@mollymay5000 Thank you for recommending this author! I still haven’t got around to reading Cursed Bunny, and I think I’ll start with this novel instead. It’s apparently a SF thriller on the theme of pain, so quite a heavy topic. #Korean

Oh my gosh! The illustrations are just so cute! So adorable! You know what… You could be a manga artist and publish your own comics and I’ll definitely buy. Lol. By the way, the older generation doesn’t understand the things we treat as hobbies. To them, everything you do must have a purpose (like to get a job in Japan) or they won’t understand why you go through all the trouble for the sake of fun. Like you, I’m studying Japanese language because I like the language and to take the JLPT is for my self-fulfilment satisfaction. The test is like a measurement of how much I am able to achieve after an amount of months or years of study.
Thank you so much!
Yes, a lot of people just don’t understand that learning a language can be a hobby in itself. And taking a test does not correspond to their idea of “fun” or “hobby”. Taking the JLPT might not be the funniest part of learning Japanese, but it is extremely motivating and exciting too!
Seriously your illustrations are so beautiful throughout the blog. How do you do them? pardon me for asking , I am a complete novice. Are you using a pressure pad?any software in particular?
Thank you very much! 😊 I am using the Surface Pro 4 by Microsoft. The surface pen has a good pressure sensibility and I can draw directly on the screen in tablet mode. As for the software, I am using clip studio paint.
