ACHIEVEMENTS


BESIDE DRAMAS
Cooking & baking
I love cooking, even more so baking - I got it from my granny :) It's just so satisfying to see other people enjoy my food. Plus it helps me unwind. Whenever I learn a new language I like to experience its culture through its cuisine. One day, when I'm rich and retired, I'll open up my own confectionery.
Favourite cuisine:
Italian, Polish, Swedish, Korean (mild), Russian (cakes)
Favourite dishes:
东坡肉 (Dongpo pork), Pasta alla gricia, Flaczki (tripe soup), Janssons frestelse...
Favourite desserts:
медовик (honey cake), karpatka (Carpathian cake), Prinsesstårta, Donauwelle...

Books
I'm an avid reader since early childhood thanks to my mum. I usually read books from the library, so I neglect the books I own (ever-growing bookshelf of shame). I always look out for the books read in dramas to find inspiration.
My drama-based reading list
Favourite genres:
fantasy, mythology, children's literature, historical romance
Favourite titles:
E. Brontë "Wuthering Heights", L. M. Montgomery "The Blue Castle",  A. de Saint-Exupéry "The Little Prince", H. Sienkiewicz "The Trilogy", F. Molnár "The Paul Street Boys", J. M. de Vasconcelos "My Sweet Orange Tree" and many, many more

Video games
I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember - first on my cousin's Game Boy.
First PlayStation: 1998
First PC: 2003
First PSX game: Tomb Raider 2
First PC game: Tomb Raider The Angel of Darkness
Favourite genres:
RPG, survival horror, adventure games
Favourite PSX game:
The Legend of Dragoon
Favourite PC games:
Soma, Undertale, Silent Hill 2, The Sims 2-3, The Witcher trilogy and many more
Manga & anime
I started watching anime, before I knew what it was, when I was just a little child. I came back to it as a teenager, thanks to my best friend. She is my M&A guru and manga library :D

My anime list
Music
I can't imagine my life without it. I love listening to music, singing and dancing, though I have zero talent for musical instruments. I listen to most musical genres: from pop and folk, through rock and metal, to blues and classical music. I have yet to acquire a taste for jazz.
Kpop
Contrary to most I got into kpop after watching kdramas. My first kpop group was DBSK (Vacation). I listen mainly to 2nd and 3rd generation groups. I used to be in multiple fandoms, I just don't have the time for that anymore :(
My first kpop song
2nd generation
BB: Infinite, MBLAQ, Shinee, F.T.Island, DBSK, SuperJunior, ZE:A, Myname, SS501
GG: 2NE1, Sistar, f(x), 4minute, SNSD, KARA, Secret, Stellar
3rd generation
BB: (comingsoon)
GG: (comingsoon)
4th generation

Telenovelas
I grew up watching telenovelas on TV. They were my first addiction, before I discovered Asian dramas.
My telenovelas list
Other
My other interests include board games, puzzles, figure skating, and colouring for adults.

BYE BYE :)
