A.W.W. [ MAHJONG ]

pronounced: mah-chong

Defined by Wikipedia:

1.Mahjong is a game that originated in China, commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in Korea and Japan). 2.Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy and calculation and involves a certain degree of chance.



Examples:

Did you know Grandma is a Mahjong champion in China?!

Can we please play Mahjong instead of Poker, please???

When I come across Mahjong, I always think of a bunch of old people playing at a table, drinking until wee hours of the night. Or..or of Chinese comedy movies. I actually have a Mahjong set I received as a Christmas present and I have yet to crack it open and learn! I will! I swear I will learn to play!

Quick/Basic Rules:

The game is played with a set of 136 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols. In most variations, each player begins by receiving thirteen tiles. In turns, players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the fourteenth drawn tile to form four groups (melds) and a pair (head). There are fairly standard rules about how a piece is drawn, stolen from another player and thus melded. The use of simples (numbered tiles) and honours (winds and dragons), the kinds of melds, and the order of dealing and play. However there are many regional variations in the rules; in addition, the scoring system and the minimum hand necessary to win varies significantly based on the local rules being used.

K Pop Obsession: B.A.P's Power

Nothing really new in the K-Pop world this week, well...nothing that was really exciting, so I'm making sure to bring up B.A.P's latest MV "Power." It's already been 100+ days since their debut and they are still going strong! This music video is just as good as "Warrior." I still love "Warrior" more than "Power" but who doesn't like interplanetary travel???

K Drama - My Princess

Alternate Names:I Love My Princess
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 16
Network: MBC
Broadcasted: 2011-Jan-05 to 2011-Feb-24
Lead Actors: Song Seung Hun, Kim Tae Hee, Park Ye Jin, Ryu Soo Young

My Rating: ♥♥♥/5













This is yet another drama that uses the idea of Constitutional Monarchy in South Korea. A lot of the same themes of "rags to riches" and "sacrifice for the greater good" are beaten to death. Yes, if you become a princess you sacrifice freedom and love so you can devote yourself to representing and helping you country. I'm kinda tired of these similar dramas.

The ending is very "meh" but I don't know how you would really end it. The lead actress Kim Tae Hee (IRIS) looks very similar to Secret's maknae "Blank head" Han Sunhwa.

Basic Synopsis:Lee Seol is one of two adopted daughters of a single mother who comes to find out she's actually the princess of Korea! She think she hits the jackpot with fabulous eats and a huge closet. But being a princess is not what it's cracked up to be with endless studying and crooked politics.

K Pop Obsession: TaeTiSeo's Twinkle

Another obsessive week has come and there are so many to choose from! Seriously, just two weeks ago there was literally, nothing. I mean it, NOTHING! Now there's so many it's not fair I have to choose one. So if I have to then this week it's gonna be Girl's Generation's subunit TaeTiSeo's "Twinkle." The group is made up of leader Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun and the song came out better than I thought it would. It has a really nice, rich, roaring 20's sound to it that is echoed by the voices of the girls. Good job ladies!

Fruit Children Do a Little Dance

Today I found this lovely little gem. It's little girls dressed up as fruit, dancing in a supermarket. I think it's some sort of music video??? Or possibly some sort of footage used for a commercial??? I have no idea, it's very cute though. And their expressions are so kawaiiiiiiiii! Very talented dancers.
