ROOFTOP PRINCE + school blah

Obviously a personal post.

Anyhoo I've finished watching Rooftop prince TWICE.
I brought the CD to my relatives in Rizal and guess what? We watched it OVERNIGHT. The whole thing. Me, my cousin, and two aunts (one of them was sick too) watched the whole thing in ONE SHOT. DAEBAK. I am such a bad influence or smth.

Physics is progressing, almost halfway and it's almost OCTOBER.

Japanese is progressing. Will study Korean when the computer arrives. Bah. Must finish everything before October ; A ;
