Hi! How r u? Long time, no see!

I wish I was doing well, but I have covid for the first time. I'm experiencing a lot of the symptoms. My sister is taking me to an urgent care in the morning just to be safe. I'm not able to focus on anything for very long cuz my head hurts so much. But I'm hoping it'll pass quickly.

That's a cute penguin :-)

I’ve been away longer than I expected.

I’m sorry to hear you have COVID. I had it twice. The first time lasted over a month and a half. I was one of the first cases in my city and had to use a breathing machine, which was very scary. The second time was more straightforward; it lasted just over a week and a half. It's uncomfortable, and headaches can be hard to manage. A doctor told me to take Robitussin as directed and to take Tylenol every few hours for headaches and body aches. For my sore throat, warm water helped keep me hydrated and eased my coughing. Hot tea and cold water worsened my coughing and didn’t help as much. I hope you feel better soon!! <3

I have been away because of health problems. I’m not sure if I mentioned my spine issues before, but I was waiting for my insurance to approve an injection to help me walk. This took longer than I expected, and I spent a month sitting around doing nothing.

 After I finally had the procedure, I was able to be productive. Unfortunately, on  Halloween I fell down the stairs and ended up stuck in bed again, bored and unable to move much. During this time, I am very grateful for my cat. She brightens my day and makes me feel better. 

Now, I can start to get things done and fill the empty spaces in my schedule. As a perfectionist, this makes me happy. Things were piling up and getting chaotic, so it feels good to restore some order, especially with the holidays coming up.

 However, it doesn’t feel like the holiday season; it feels like early fall. The weather is confusing. I saw a meme this week that said Mother Nature is mixing up temperatures like Powerball numbers, which made me laugh because it's so true!

Have we had good traffic here lately? Have any dramas recently made it to our top favorites for the year? The last drama I completed was "First Note of Love," but I felt like the drama fell off halfway through. I was hoping to come back and start watching "The Next Prince," but it looks like it's not being released until next year.

I'm lost as to which dramas are currently airing. Are there any dramas we are watching as a group? 

P.S Penguins make me think of Happy Feet XD

It’s cold season guys. Take care out there! I woke up coughing. Yay me.

I have plans to watch LITA KOI and ThamePo sometime today, so I’ll be back with thoughts. But First—

2024 Year End BL Drama Awards
Day 13 : A Non 2024 Drama

The KBLs : To My Star, Where Your Eyes Linger, Mr. Heart

All three of them were short, but so well done.

Day 14 : A Dissapointing Drama

I don’t like being like this, but there was a lot of them this year—

Battle of the Writers, Love Sea, Wandee Goodday, The Sign

I watched them, and loved the casts and some scenes are memorable, but I had HIGH hopes and expectations.

EDIT : Hey @Onyx we match lol

Day 15 : An Unexpected Good Drama

This one goes to!!! Cherry Magic Thailand! The Japanese rendition is so iconic that I thought it would be difficult for this version to be great— but it quickly proved me wrong. I’m a firm beleiver that this version is better.

(@RXinw: No, no, no! I know what you're thinking. Don't say it!)

I just remembered that I did not respond to this lol.

I am glad great minds think alike hehehe

Screaming lol!

I was only able to scan through the last few pages and want to thank everyone for their well-wishes. It means a lot! <3

I have been away because of health problems.

It sounds like life has been challenging for you lately. And falling down the stairs. That would be scary! It sounds like u r on the upswing though. Here's to a healthier 2025! <3

I'm doing lots of things to help myself recover faster. Including a positive mindset. Everything else is on hold. Thank you for the ideas. The doc said I need to use Tylenol for the high fever. I didn't have any so my sister got some for me. I didn't have any meds at all cuz I haven't been sick for about 10 years, not even a cold. The first day I was sick, I felt lost. I didn't know what to do, lol.  :-)

My brother, a pharmacist, said the covid virus seems be milder than it was a few years ago. I hope he's right! 

I'm going to excuse myself from the challenge for now. I'm feeling positive regarding a relatively quick recovery, so hopefully I can pick it back up soon. My head is actually feeling fairly decent today, so I plan to watch an ep or two of BLs. 

GET WELL SOON!! @RX & @axdxex & anyone else that isn't feeling well rn.

Yes, in Germany as well. I don't know anyone who's been really seriously sick with it lately (unlike at the beginning of the pandemic, when I knew several who were hospitalised and even died). I've had it four times, and the most recent time (September) it was just like a mild cold. (I guess I'm very immune by now.)

So just take good care of yourself and you'll be fine.

You'll find it in early January here: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/general-asia-forum. Someone will pin it on the front so it's easily locatable. 

Thx!

Would you be interested in watching a BL that had the couple being in an open relationship by the end of the series?

i can watch those series as long as the couple have that discussion and both are ok with it instead of someone cheating on the other , im also fine with watching throuple like unforgotten night, again as long as no one is betraying the other and they have mutual understanding that they are ok with that decision
