Holidays

Been procrastinating way too long here =/ suppose to start on my dissertation but one day leads to another and nothing was done...

Just finished watching Iris, darn good korean drama man. One episode that keeps you hooked to the next. Once you start, it's the end for you, 20 episodes of action packed drama. The story is about the unification of South Korea and North Korea and Iris is a secret organization trying to prevent the unification because they reap profits out of war..nasty. However somehow watching the show, it made me had this thinking that we as civilians are like chess pieces and our government, the players. The ones who would be sacrificed are the people - just like chess pieces on the chess board; and the player, no matter what wrong move they make stays alive. When the PM of S. Korea was asked(in the show of course!): "why is the unification of the North and South so important that so many lives has to be sacrificed, we were living nicely and peacefully previously". The PM just replied " If a little sacrifice is not made, then greater plans cannot take place". Which is true, but yea just made me thought of us as a mere chess piece to the government....choose your government wisely! But spoiler here, the PM wasn't part of Iris, he just really really want to unite the 2 nations.

This one week was not productive at all -.- one of the reason was well the drama mentioned above. 1 hour per episode weih T.T and then they kept the bait at the end so you would watch the next episode straight away....and there goes time. Just like that...
