I like looking for patterns in things around me. Maybe that’s why I was drawn to “Fringe,” which is one of my favorite TV shows ever.
This week, it seems, is all about the word “moonlight.”
☽ The song I listened to the most this week so far is “Moonlight Punch Romance” by Nell.
I really love the title and the song itself, so I told my friend Lea:
☽ The day before that, we talked about a new Korean variety show called “Moonlight Prince,” which totally has nothing to do with moonlight or royalty. It actually has to do with books, and the concept is something similar to an idea for guest posts that I wanted to implement here but just never had the time to properly do. Maybe I should try to start on this soon; it could be fun!
☽ Lea thought the title of the show is pretty, though, and might be a good one to use for a story or as a username. And so:
“Next time I play a game, I’m going to use Moonlight Princess as a username.” It might be good to save this up for an epic fantasy edition of “Angry Birds.” LOL
Later, this prompted me to remember that I have a history with even more moonlight-related things.
☽ The local “Twilight” fandom knows me by my username: Clair de Lune (French, moonlight).
☽ One of my most memorable scenes from one of my favorite Korean dramas last year, “The Moon That Embraces The Sun”, is when the heroine, Heo Yeon-woo, sent the Crown Prince a classical poem as a response to his letter.
A monk living in the mountains
desired the moonlight
he saw it floating in his bottle of water and filled it
but at the temple he realized
that if you lean the bottle and pour it out
the moon disappears[Translation Source: Dramabeans]
It’s such a vivid image that I can almost draw if I had the talent to do so. And it’s also significant in the story because it alludes to both characters’ developing feelings for each other and the painful lesson that they had to learn then: you can’t always have something just because you want it.
☽ One of my favorite movies of all time is “Sabrina,” the one which stars Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I just never get tired of it. And my favorite song from the film is “Moonlight” by Sting:
So there! I just hope this doesn’t mean that if I get zapped by some magical light ray that transforms people into supernatural creatures, I will turn into a werewolf. I’d rather turn into this instead:

Moonlight Prince has yet to be shown on KBSW. Heard the ratings are not that good though. Sayang. I miss Kang Hodong on 2D1N.
PLUS POINTS for the Sailormoon image at the bottom. 😀
Better than a werewolf! LOL
