Update

It's been a long time since my last time. Work has been extremely hectic and preparations to move to my own house took up a lot of my time during weekends. I can't promise that I can post a lot of stuff but I anticipate that once things get more settled down by the middle of next month, I'll have more free time on my hands. As for the Twitter updates, they probably won't be as frequent as before but I'll try to maintain it wherever possible.

In the meantime, I will be posting some previews of the dramas I'm planning to watch this autumn and reviews of some movies I watched on the plane during my business trip to Europe.
