Sketchbook to Buy: XL Aquarelle from Canson

When I studied architecture in college, I used some types of papers: Padalarang paper for pencil sketches (it's called Padalarang paper because the paper factory is located in Padalarang), Manila paper for ink sketches, and Concord or Canson paper for watercolor drawings. I love Canson the most but it's more expensive than the rest. We used to bought a pack consists of 4 sheets of A3. 

Some time ago I spotted an art supplies store "Artemedia" at Festival Citylink, Bandung. They sell some kinds of sketchbooks so I decided to buy one of the most expensive sketchbooks I've ever bought in my life, XL AQUARELLE from Canson. 

The sketchbook costs Rp 102.000 (A4) and Rp 172.000 (A3). Each has 30 sheets of 140 lb paper, so it's thick enough to make watercolor drawings.

I love the texture of the paper and it's also nice for pencil & colored pencil drawings.

So, I love it. Even it's more expensive than my previous ones, it makes drawing more fun because I can try various art medium without damaging the paper.

KDrama to Watch: Heart To Heart (하트 투 하트, 2015, tvN)

I'm still alive, people!

I'm back because I want to write: "Go watch tvN's Heart To Heart because it's really good and it deserves so much love from as many people as possible!"

Love the story, love the OSTs (calling all K-indie lovers!), love the cast (awesome chemistry), love everything about this drama. There are still 10 episodes left, I hope this drama will stay awesome till the end *crossing all my fingers and toes*.

What is the drama about?

Our main character is Cha Hong Do (Choi Kang Hee), who is afraid of meeting people. She lived with her grandmother, but after her grandma passed away, she spent most of her time staying at home. She wears helmet when she needs to go outside, and disguises as an old lady to earn her living as a housemaid.

But this is a romantic comedy, and in dramaland, even the most awkward woman who looked like 80 years old grandma at times and look like Power Ranger at other times will get involved with at least two hot oppas.

Hong Do had a crush on Detective Jang Doo Soo (Lee Jae Yoon / Hot Oppa #1), who helped her when there was a robbery in her house. Because she wanted to see him, she went out of her house wearing helmet and dance Bar Bar Bar, and went to Detective Jang's house to bring him side dishes she made for the past 7 years.

Hong Do wants to cure her social phobia, so she went to a psychiatrist, Go Yi Suk (Chun Jung Myung / Hot Oppas #2). Then things happened. A lot of exciting things. Go watch it, I won't spoil it.

KDrama to Watch: You're All Surrounded

Dear all Cha Seung Won fans and Dokko Jin lovers, let's all hug and cry happy tears together because HE'S BACK!

We can finally see him again every Wednesday and Thursday night, in SBS drama titled "You're All Surrounded". His movie "High Heels" is also coming soon this June, but we'll get to that later.

If you live in Dramaland, I believe lately you have nightmare everyday. Because almost ongoing dramas these days are too emotional, dark, thrilling, giving-you-headache kind of dramas. You may also find it hard to choose because there are a lot of new dramas coming your way. Let me tell you, "You're All Surrounded by Hot Police" is the answer. Even it's not pure comedy (because there are still blood, angry people, revenge), at least it feels like a refreshing drama (for your mind and your eyes) that will make you fall in love.

Why?

Cha Seung Won. I don't even have to tell you why. It's obvious, he's Cha Seung Won. The hottest ahjussi out there.

Lee Seung Gi. He's Yoona's, but he's also loved by every kdrama fangirls I know.

Ahn Jae Hyun. Cheon Song Yi's adorable brother. Eye candy. Handsome and cute. It's unfair.

Go Ara. Tough girl. Leaving Trash Oppa and Chilbongie to get Lee Seung Gi (virtual high five if you watch Reply 1994 and love it).

Hot men in uniform. Guns. Nuff said.

Most of the first episode is like Reply 2003 (spot Kim Dongwan and Shin Hyesung!) because they want to show you why Kim Ji Yong (Lee Seung Gi) becomes a policeman. His mother is killed because she stood as a witness in court for a murder case. The detective who handle that case was Seo Pan Suk (Cha Seung Won). He tried to convince Ji Yong's mother to stand as a witness and said he would protect her from the bad men who threatened her. He obviously failed to keep his promise, and Ji Yong thought he was one of the bad men (yes, things make it look like he's one of them but I still think it's a misunderstanding). Grown up Ji Yong came back with new identity, Eun Dae Gu, new recruits in the violent crime unit at Gangnam Police Station and worked under Seo Pan Suk. What will happen? Just watch it because I don't know. Only first two episodes are out, so watch it while it's hot!

PS: Dingdong appeared as a cameo too. Remember this kid from The Greatest Love? Still cute and chubby! :)))
