Dear Right Hand…

March 22, 2019 Dear Right Hand, May this letter be a testament to what you mean to me. A short episode without you, longer and more uninteresting than ever before, is coming to an end. I am glad!  But, am I so dysfunctional without you? Haven't I always been self-motivated to take on the world...

What Makes An Outstanding Pharmacy Technician? – III

(…contd from Part 2) Most job interviews are packages of traditional dumb questions that give a candidate ample opportunity to brag about oneself.

What Makes An Outstanding Pharmacy Technician? – II

(...contd from Part 1) Love your work One question that I have successfully dodged each time it was asked by people around me was "Why did you decide to become a pharmacy technician when you are clearly overqualified for the job?"

What makes An Outstanding Pharmacy Technician? – I

Romance is a Bonus Book: First Impression

Just as I was skimming through the internet for some good drama to fill the void that the last episode of Memories of the Alhambra had created, I watched two other dramas on Viki Rakuten: What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? (김비서가 왜 그럴까) and My Strange Hero (복수가 돌아왔다). Both were light and refreshing though neither...

KDrama Review: What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?

After having watched a serious drama like Memories of the Alhambra and having read a fact intense book like The Tragedy of Islam, the electrodes in my brain seemed to have burnt out. I badly wanted to rewire the circuitry and that was when a friend's suggestion came handy: Hey, have you watched what's wrong with secretary...

KDrama Ending Explained: Memories of the Alhambra

One of the highest rated Korean dramas in cable television history, Memories of the Alhambra (알함브라 궁전의 추억) aired the final episode today.
