I've been on a Disney marathon this weekend,

Completely out of the blue, I have been obsessing one Disney movie from childhood after another.

Of course, some of these movies aren't Disney at all, but are nonetheless reminiscent of the Disney sort of air. 

It's been quite a dreamy weekend this week, as I sit here munching on little snacks of almonds and fruit snacks,

Outside the breeze seem to be getting stronger and stronger as the day becomes close to supper time. 

I can't stop admiring the fluttering down of seed pods just outside my window. They spin altogether, and the air is soon 

filled with a delightful little show of golden pod leaves that reflect brightly against the falling sun at this hour. 

It really is something to be watching these movies again after so many years. You get to see them from such a new and fresh perspective that you would've missed as a child. 

We all know how inappropriate Disney movies can be, and watching them again now makes me see more things that left me--at times--aghast. 

I, personally, am a huge fan of Lewis Carroll, and have read almost all of his works, but to think that Disney has incorporated his stories into a children's film can actually seem quite strange--when has a caterpillar speaking nonsense after smoking mushroom ever been appropriate for the young viewers?

Nonetheless, I have been nostalgic as I surrounded myself this afternoon with childhood snacks and films.

But for some reason, one seems to have lingered pleasantly with me the most. This story of two dogs of "different social class" is rather a cute little tale.

The Lady and the Tramp is an adorable little piece, but sadly, I don't think it's received as much affection as did '101 Dalmations'. That even went on until...103 Dalmations I think? 

Not to mention, it continued as an actual film, not just an animated movie. 

Nonetheless, I thought that it would be lovely if you would join me in this nostalgic moment by taking an hour break with this film. 

I never realized how romantic the story really was until now. It made me think of my own darling and how I wish to be with him myself right now..

I too want to stroll around the park with him and accidentally grab the same strand of the pasta and not notice until our lips touch.. And perhaps I will do that as a date.

Speaking of which, isn't that a wonderful idea? A Disney-themed date, where you do all the things that Disney couples do!

You'd:

1. Riding a boat together (Little Mermaid)

2. Dancing in the woods where no one else is watching (Sleeping Beauty)

3. Eating pasta together (Lady and the Tramp)

4. Go on a magic carpet ride....?(Aladdin)

I'm just kidding with the last one, but it is a dear thought. More than anything, I think that it is a much more splendid idea than spending so much money on the girl. 

But now I'm just daydreaming. I hope you too will be inspired to have a romantic and nostalgic day after reading this, and I won't hold you any longer from watching this wonderful Disney film. Enjoy!

With Love,

Bonvivante

It's really hard to write for two different audiences--and it's even harder to try and put those works together in one single space for two completely different readers. 

Before I have began this blog, I have been working on my Korean blog, picking at bits and then burning up with an ephemeral enthusiasm, all resulting in this other blog I am about to introduce you to.

Naver.com, is really one of the main sites Koreans rely on. Here, you'll find my Korean blog, in which I have posts written in both Korean and English. I really wish I could share all my posts to you wonderful people who are actually kind enough to take time following what I have to say, but unless you can speak fluent colloquial Korean, I really don't have much I can do for you. Sorry.

Luckily, for you, as a part of my assignment for my food journalism course, I had to create a series of posts each week for an entire semester on thing pertaining to food. In my case, I have a lot of material on my reflections of the week's studies or just some cultural aspects of food that I was focusing on for the day. 

To access the parts in english, follow these instructions:

1. When you enter the site, on the right, you'll see that there is a list of categories you can go to

2. Note the category "Des passions"--for those of you non-French speakers, that means "of passions"

3. Below that is a category titled, "Bonvivante의 작업실". Now, I know that you don't speak Korean, but c'mon, you have a pretty good chance of clicking on the right one when you see a lot of English when you click on the correct category

4. You can continue through the list! And if you're really brave, continue through the other categories

While this current blog is more dedicated to my affection of studying food culture, this other one that you'll navigate into is much more general, containing everything that I am interested in--which is pretty much the entire world.
