Korean Drama - My Girlfriend is a Gumiho

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is a South Korean romantic comedy series in 2010. Why am i so attracted to this story is because of 2 reasons..

1. The actor.. Come on! It's Lee Seung Gi guys.. The single dimple make him look cute!
2. I tend to know what is 'Gumiho' actually is..

 Lee Seung Gi

Initially i thought she was a mermaid, because she always tagged along with a book titled "The Little Mermaid" which was given by her teacher, Dong Ju lao shi.. But then, i realize that she's not a mermaid when she mentioned that she has more tails than the mermaid.. Hurmmm.. What could it be?

A Gumiho or Kumiho (literally "nine tailed fox") is a creature that appears in the oral tales and legends of Korea, and are akin to European fairies. According to those tales, a fox that lives a thousand years turns into a Kumiho, like its Japanese and Chinese counterpart. It can freely transform, among other things, into a beautiful girl often set out to seduce men and eat their liver or heart (depending on the legend) in order to survive. Wohooo.. So scary, mens out there, please be careful...

Gu Mi Ho (Shin Min Ah)

According to some legend, a Kumiho can become human and permanently remain in this state by not ingesting a human's liver or heart for a period of one thousand days.

Korean Kumiho shares many similarities to the Chinese Huli Jing and the Japanese Kitsune. All explain fox spirits as being the result of great longevity or the accumulation of energy..

Okay! Lets see what's the story about..

Synopsis

Fleeing the scene, Dae-woong suffers a life-threatening fall and is only saved by the Gumiho giving him her "fox bead". When Dae-woong awakes and meets a mysterious pretty girl, he initially treats her as eccentric or mentally ill, before fully understanding she is a Gumiho in disguise. He agrees to stay with her and tries to keep her happy, while hiding her true identity as a Gumiho from all others by introducing her as his friend, Mi Ho.

Types Of Plastics And Classification

I ask you one simple question..

When you buy a plastic container or more commonly known as "TUPPERWARE" among Malaysian people (eventho tupperware is just a brand name of a home product line), did you really care to have a look on the code number??

Talking about tupperware, i just get to know that this company (Tupperware Brands Corporation) has been founded and first introduced to public in 1946.. Hurmmm.. No wonder our old citizen including my parents even youngsters they will simply call 'tupperware' for all kind of plastic container although it's from Applelady... Same goes to toothpaste, i have experienced this issue with my mom..

The conversation as below...

Mom: Rin, if you go out later dont forget to buy colgate, the one we have here is almost finish..

Me: Ok mom..!

(2 hours later.....)

I'm home with hand full, put all the groceries and toiletries on the kitchen table.. Mom come over to check things out.. And suddently....

Mom: Rinnnnnnn... Why did you buy this??

Me: (I saw her holding the toothpaste) Just now you asked me to buy colgate.. That's colgate la..

Mom: Ya, i know.. But i dont want this one.. I want Safi, the one with kayu sugi (chewing stick)..

Me: ?????

I was stunned and speechless.. Hahaha...

Ok, back to the main subject.. Actually this code is quite important to us because we need to know whether the plastic material is suitable and safe for our usage..

There are about 50 different groups of plastics, with hundreds of different varieties.. All types of plastic are recyclable. To make sorting and thus recycling easier, the American Society of Plastics Industry (SPI) developed a standard marking code to help consumers identify and sort the main types of plastic. Manufacturers will place an SPI code or number on each plastic product, usually moulded into the bottom.

Types and their most common uses are:

PET 

- Polyethylene terephthalate - 

Fizzy drink bottles and oven-ready meal trays, peanut butter jars.

HDPE 

- High-density polyethylene - 

Bottles for milk and washing-up liquids, motor oil.

PVC 

- Polyvinyl chloride - 

Food trays, fast food service items and shampoo, cooking oil bottles.

LDPE 

- Low density polyethylene - 

Grocery bags and can liners.

PP 

- Polypropylene - 

Margarine tubs, microwaveable meal trays, bottle caps, yogurt containers, straws.

PS 

- Polystyrene - 

Foam meat or fish trays, hamburger boxes and egg cartons, vending cups, plastic cutlery, protective packaging for electronic goods and toys (packing peanuts).

OTHER 

- Any other plastics that do not fall into any of the above categories. - 

An example is melamine, which is often used in plastic plates.
