And to that, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY, TEAM KYUNG! We got you there, didn’t we? Did you really believe this? Hahahahaha. Who knows. Lol.

Life is never easy. It will try to bring you down most of the time, hit you hard in hard face and play jokes on you. And it’s up to you if you will choose to sulk and cry or if you will punch it harder in the face and prove that life might tough but you as a person is tougher.

I was an outcast during my high school days, a bullied girl who doesn’t have her own group of friends. I have experienced body-shaming because of my fats, I have experienced being called “hippopotamus”, “balyena”, “ugly” and every hateful words that a high schooler could ever experience. It was hard, indeed, but I can say that those days helped in molding me into who I am today.


During times, I was told that a girl should be pretty; her body should be slim and sexy. And I know, I don’t fit in their category of “beautiful”. Believing in myself became harder each day. My confidence had inflated to a negative level. My view about life became darker. And getting out of bed just to go to school, became harder and harder.


But guess what? My parents have told me that no matter what other people say about me, I can be whoever and whatever I want to be. I can be a writer, an actor, a teacher or an engineer. I can be anything as long as I believe in myself and it makes me happy.


Here I am now. From the bullied girl came out a stronger version of myself. A girl who believed in herself despite of all the backslash of others, a girl who lived a life that gave her happiness. From the outcast came out a woman who knows that beauty doesn’t have a category, and that you shouldn’t box yourself in the idea of other.

 Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. You can be slim or you can be plump, but you are still beautiful. As cliché as it may sound, but beauty doesn’t only from the outside appearance; beauty can be seen inside of us.

Life is never easy. It will try to bring you down most of the time, hit you hard in hard face and play jokes on you. And it’s up to you if you will choose to sulk and cry or if you will punch it harder in the face and prove that life might tough but you as a person is tougher.

I've been seeing a lot of Chicago Typewriter posts these past few days. And all the memories from the drama, all the feels, my love for the trio of Joseon Youth Alliance came crashing back to me. And oh good heavens, they finally heard my prayers for this drama to gain more attention, and more love.

Reviewing a drama is not something I do, honestly. I just release my emotions in my Instagram, Twitter or Facebook feed, and that's all. But for the love of Joseon Youth Alliance, I've listed ten reasons why you should watch this drama, and at the same time, an appreciation post for the masterpiece that everyone should witness. Brace yourselves, I'll be fangirling all throughout this post. *wink

1. Story/Plot. Chicago Typewriter is not your typical kdrama. The plot comes with unpredictable storyline. The twists and turns of events are simply remarkable. Mapapaisip ka talaga to the point na magke-crave for the next episodes. Friendly bickering, romance, history and friendship, you can find everything you want in a drama when watching Chicago Typewriter.  Hats off to the writer of this drama!


2. Characters. The characters are perfect! You might not agree with me but I'm telling you, the casts are an epitome of perfection. The flawless performance of Yoo Ah In for his character Han Se Joo (Seo Hwi Young in his past life), he perfectly played the brave yet cute image of his characters in both the present and 1930s time. The natural acting of Im Soo Jung which matched the cute and outspoken character of Jeon Sol (Ryu Soo Hyun); she makes acting look so effortless that I sometimes have to remind myself that she’s acting. And of course, the divine portrayal of Go Kyung Pyo with his character Yoo Jin Oh (Shin Yul) who showed his great love not only for his country but also his friends. The rest of characters are mysterious and unpredictable which made Chicago Typewriter a stunning masterpiece. Sino bang hindi mahu-hook bes?






3. Settings and Wardrobe. Stay still and let's appreciate the beauty of the background set of this drama. I love how there are flashbacks to the 1930s from time to time. The transition between the ‘present' and the 30s is just amazing; the production team did a really great job doing this. And I really can't get over how great all the actors look in their 30s outfit, the old-fashioned and vintage vibe of everything surrounding them is just surreal. If you're a fan of historical dramas, then this one is definitely for you.


4. Brief History Lesson. In addition to the amazing settings, this drama gave us a little taste of Korea during the Japanese occupation in their country. This drama made me appreciate my countries’ heroes more, those who fought for the liberated country we are living in right now.

5. The OSTs. The OSTs of this drama is simply amazing. The soothing voice of the group SALTNPAPER, the soulful vocals of SG Wannabe, Boni Pueri and Baek Yerin all added to the tearjerker ambiance of the drama; all the OSTs featured are hauntingly beautiful and somehow added to the melancholic and nostalgic mood of the drama. All the songs will surely will you give the “last song syndrome”.


6. The Trio. Most of the time while watching a drama, I fall in love with the lead, or the second lead actors. But this drama is different, I fell for not only one or two, but to the three characters! I just fell hard for the patriotic trio of Joseon Youth Alliance; I fell inlove with the bitter, arrogant and yet lovable Han Se Joo, the cute and pretty Jeon Sol, the boy-next-door cuteness and mysterious Yoo Jin Oh. I just love them all!


7. The Cinematography. The cinematography of this drama is outstanding! Daebak! The transition between the present and the 1930s, the vintage vibe, the “writer” theme. This drama was so well shot and put together. I really applaud the crew for doing such an amazing job.


8. The Bromance. Bromance has become a thing in Kdramas these days. And the bromance between Han See Joo and Yoo Jin Oh is hilariously fun to watch. The love-hate relationship between the two is entertaining, especially because Yoo Jin Oh seems to follow Han Se Joo around like a puppy, literally. And the friendship between them defied time and their differences. You'll surely love Han Se Joo and Yoo Jin Oh together, but prepare yourself, they will break your heart too.


9. Friendship. The friendship between the three is really captivating. Friendship goals? Yes. Indeed. The trio showed us that love comes in different forms, and love does not only come from a specific person, but from your friends and comrades too.


10. CHICAGO TYPEWRITER IS AN ART. If I may quote from one of my favorite books “She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.” Chicago Typewriter will make you feel all sorts of emotions you can think of. You will laugh, you will cry, you'll be angry, you'll get mad. You'll fall in love and you'll definitely get your heart broken. All those emotions will crush you into pieces and rebuild you again. Indeed, Chicago Typewriter is an art.

Chicago Typewriter does not only tell you a story, it makes you experience the story. It is an incredible story of love and friendship that defies time.

So, chingudeul, that’s my ten reasons why you should watch Chicago Typewriter  (if you still haven't), an honest review and appreciation. Aren't you excited to witness a masterpiece?

Ang pagkakaroon ng mga sakit sa balat ay karaniwang nararanasan lalo na kung nalalantad ang balat sa iba’t ibang uri ng mikrobyo, fungi at parasitiko na siyang sanhi ng mga ito. Dahil sa mga sakit na ito, maaaring makaranas ng pangangati, pagsusugat, pamamaga, pamumula, at matinding iritasyon sa balat. Mabuti na lamang, nariyan ang maraming uri ng antifungal, antibacterial, at anti-inflammatory na cream at ointment na mahusay para sa mga ganitong uri ng kondisyon sa balat at madali lamang din namang nabibili sa mga butika.

Ang mga karaniwang uri ng sakit na nakakaapekto sa balat ng mga Pilipino ay ang sumusunod:

1. An-an
Ang an-an ay isang karaniwang sakit sa balat na dulot ng impeksyon ng fungi. Dito nagkakaroon ng kaibahan sa normal na kulay ng balat na kumakalat nang patse-patse. Maaari itong magamot sa tulong ng antifungal cream o ointment.

2. Buni
Ang buni ay isa ring karaniwang sakit sa balat na dulot din ng impeksyon ng fundi. Kilala ito sa pagkakaroon ng bilugang marka sa balat na may pangangapal at matinding pangangati. Ito ay lumalaki at kumakalat sa paglipas ng panahon. Maaari itong magamot sa tulong antifungal na gamot.

3. Hadhad
Ang mga singit ng katawan na madalas pinagpapawisan ay maaaring maapektohan din ng sakit sa balat lalo na kung kulang sa paglilinis ng katawan. Ang mga pangangati at pangangapal ng balat sa singit na tinatawag na hadhad o jock itch ay dulot din ng impeksyon ng fungi sa balat. Maaari itong magamot sa tulong antifungal cream at ointment.

4. Galis
Ang sakit na galis ay dahil naman sa paninirahan ng mga parasitikong insekto sa ilalim ng balat. Dahil dito, nakararanas ng sobrang pangangati at pagsusugat dahil sa kakakamot ng balat. Maaari itong magamot sa tulong ng mga gamot ispesipikong para sa paggagalis o scabies.

5. Pigsa
Ang pigsa o boils ay isang kondisyon kung saan mayroong impeksyon ng bacteria at nagdulot ng pamamaga, pamumula, at pagnanana sa balat. Ito ay may matinding pananakit at maaaring lumala pa kung hindi magagamot.

6. Pagtatagihawat
Gaya rin ng pigsa, ang pagtatagihawat ay dulot ng impeksyon ng bacteria sa balat. Ngunit ang mga tagihawat ay mas maliit kaysa sa pigsa. Madalas itong makaapekto sa balat sa mukha sa panahon ng puberty stage.

7. Alipunga
Ang alipunga ay isa pa ring sakit na dulot ng impeksyon ng fungi, ngunit ito ay nakakaapekto sa balat sa pagitan ng mga daliri sa paa. Kaakibat din nito ang matinding pangangati at pagsusugat sa paa, at minsan pa ay pamamaho at pagbibitak ng mga kuko sa paa.

8. Balakubak
Ang balakubak ay tumutukoy sa panunuyo at pagtuklap ng balat sa anit ng ulo. Maaaring dahil ito sa abnormalidad sa produksyon ng langis ng mga sebaceous glands sa ulo.

Gamot sa ibat ibang uri ng sakit sa balat
Ano ang lunas sa ibat ibang uri ng sakit sa balat? Ang sagot ay depende sa kung anong uri ng sakit sa balata ng dumapo saiyo.

Pag-usapan natin ang lunas sa ibat ibang uri ng sakit sa balat:

1. Alipunga:

-Magsuot ng medyas na gawa sa absorbent na mga materyales, magpalit ng medyas araw araw
-Magsuot ng tsinelas o botas kapag naglalakad sa mga pampublikong paliguan. Kung ang panahon ay mainit o maalinsangan, huwag munang magsuot ng sapin sa paa. Huwag magsusuot ng masikip na sapatos
-Patuyuin ang sapatos sa gabi. Kung posible, bumili ng pamalit nang hindi mo inaaraw araw ang paborito mong sapatos.

2. Hadhad:
-Tulad ng iba pang uri ng mga sakit sa balat, kailangan mong maligo araw araw, pagkatapos mag ehersisyo, o matapos pagpawisan
-Mas madalas na maghugas ng kamay para makaiwas sa impeksyon
-Patuyuin ang singit gamit ang malinis na tuwalya pagkatapos maligo. Maglagay ng pulbos sa singit para maalis ang sobrang moisture sa balat
-Maglaba ng damit araw araw. Iwasan ang pagsusuot ng makakapal na dapat sa loob ng mahahabang oras lalo na kung maalinsangan ang panahon
-Huwag manghihiram o ipapahiram ang personal na mga gamit

3. Impeksyon sa kuko
-Panatilihing malinis at tuyo ang mga kuko, magpalit ng sapatos at medyas araw araw
-Magsuot ng medyas na gawa sa absorbent na mga materyales
-Linisin ang mga gamit sa paglinis at pagpapaganda ng kuko. Huwag munang mag kulay ng kuko kung ito ay may impeksyon

ALTERNATIBONG GAMOT PARA SA IMPEKSYON NG FUNGI SA BALAT

Ang balat ng tao ang pangunahing depensa ng katawan laban sa lahat ng uri ng mikrobyo at organismo na maaaring makapagdulot ng sakit. Ngunit may mga pagkakataon na mismong ang balat ang siyang inaatake ng sakit. Kabilang sa mga madalas na nakapagdudulot ng kondisyon sa balat ay ang mga fungi.

Upang matulungan ang kondisyon ng impeksyon ng fungi sa balat, maaaring gumamit ng mga gamot na antifungal tulad ng ketoconazole, miconazole, o fluconazole. Ngunit bukod sa mga ito, mayroong pang mga alternatibong gamot na maaaring magamit kontra sa impeksyon ng fungi.
