    Ep10: Winter is coming.. Time to talk about depression

    Winter is Coming, the previous two wintera did get me, will that choke me on my throat again this year?

    Hi everyone, this is Carrie.

    On a very windy Wednesday, Francis, Youngwon, and I talked about this somehow classic topic for us, Depression

    Depression is a monster, but we need to demand ourselves to not make peace with it. Not allow it to find a place in us and work on us. We need some cozy moments, with our senses filled up with warmer feelings, good taste in the mouth, nice sounds in the ear, exciting plans to work on, sweating great sports moments.

    Will I allow the weather to take all the blame? No. So stay with us and find out if there is anything that can resonate with your version of depression sometimes?

    People intend to conclude personalities just like people talking about star signs, blood types, etc. Have some idea of who we are, how other people see us, is always fun. These are some traits we believe it is not final, it keeps changing, and human are complicated.

    Are We Placing Too Much Importance On Female Friendship?

    Hi Everyone,

    It’s Carrie.

    Nowadays the friendship between girls is a hot topic,  which it barely was talked about by people in last century. There are a lot of books and tv series about it. 

    Of course, before the whole girl power make a chance for all of us, we were not even important to that society,  so our friendship back then, was not important at all to the world…

    But it is different now. And I am very glad to witness that, as being a person worshiping friendship all my life, I am so happy to share my feelings in this episode.

    Youngwon and Minsun both shared their opinion about friendships between girls. We may not entirely agree with each other, but that only shows how different we are. It is surely very interesting to hear it for yourself.

    If you have any opinion, you’re welcome to leave a comment!

    Cheers, to Friendship!

    What does Fitness mean to us?

    Hi Everyone,

    This is Carrie. I know that at some point we will talk about fitness as it is a bit part in our life, both Youngwon and I are quite consistent with it, and Minsun is lucky to have a model body that she doesn't need to do so much to maintain it. 

    (Unfortunately Francis isn't here today with us.)

    We all have different opinions through time when it comes to training, and it was not always smooth. We have experienced the asian training way before our foot step in a swedish gym, now we have seen both, what's new? What's good?

    Check it out!

    Have a nice weekend.
