The day before yesterday, a very good friend asked me to be her bridesmaid. Of course, it’s a massive honour to be asked to be a part of someone’s wedding, and is very much a testament to your friendship. I will admit to shedding a tear, and being somewhat surprised, but for some reason, I feel more anxious about being a bridesmaid this time around. I guess maybe because this is the last time I think I will ever be asked, as after Zoe, I’ve pretty much run out of close friends who aren’t already married, but mostly because I don’t really know how useful I am as a bridesmaid. Actually, to be fair, it’s probably 99% not being happy with my appearance right now.
This will be my 5th time bridesmaiding, in 7 years. In that time, I’ve only been to 7 weddings, so to be honest, being a part of the wedding party is far more comfortable to me than being your standard guest. You just have to be with the bride and generally have a lovely pampery time getting ready and then just prance about in a fancy dress for the rest of the day. Eat a nice meal, take some photos, and dance around a lot ... but don’t throw up, that one is very important.
I think I’ve got this. Bridesmaid again. 7 years worth of experience should make me pretty well qualified, really.
You would have thought with a three day weekend, I would have been more productive with my time. Nope, I have done a big fat nothing.
I don’t quite know how to break out of it. I think it’s because I’m alone, it’s hard to get the motivation to do anything other than just exist when you’ve got no one else to do anything for or with. Maybe that will change soon. Maybe as the weather gets better, I’ll feel less lazy. Maybe I’ll actually get the will power to stop getting fat.
Not this weekend though - this weekend I made myself a double portion of flapjack.
I’ve been playing a lot of NCT lately. I’m pretty hooked on Boss, and Baby Don’t Stop, which I’ve handily embedded above. I was reading through old posts the other day and I really like it when I embed videos, as a lot of the time, I had totally forgotten about them so they served as a nice reminder of what Heather from 6 years ago liked.
I’ve also started a new drama. I liked Just Between Lovers a lot, but the main girl was a bit rubbish because she was a barbie kisser. I did feel for Junho, he really tried. Anyway, now I’m watching Cheif Kim. Junho is in it again as the baddie, and the main guy is Ahn Dan Tae from Dear Fair Lady Kong Shim. It’s ok so far, I’ve snorted with laughter a couple of times, but for the most part, I find him a bit too much. I really want to watch Hwayugi but Viki says it’s not been licensed in the U.K. yet, which sucks, and means it joins the likes of Okay, That’s Love and Witch’s Romance.
Oh how I wish Korean Drama series would have better titles!
