If you're a Korean Novela fanatic (or you're someone like me who's trying to understand what's with Korean Novelas), check out Dramabeans for recommendations (Side note: She writes pretty well). I really want to find out why Korean Novelas are such a hit to a lot of Pinoys (aside from the face factor). More on this in another post.

Looking for something interesting to do this summer? How about an acting workshop?
