Infairness And In Fairytale

"we leave the fate of our world to chance."

2009-07-27T22:22:00.000-07:00

there is only one reason why i look forward to the Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince movie -- or any of the series in fact -- and it's because of Rupert Grint (well maybe not in The Goblet Of Fire because i hated his hair there). it is not a secret among my peers that i have this current thing for Rupert but apparently it comes as a surprise to them. i don't know why but it seems to be weirding them out. was it too hard to handle? HAHA

i'm sure all of you were thinking that this whole movie experience was, again, showcasing how awesome i am in fangirling that it shows on my reviews but it's not gonna be that. no, not today. i tried to analyze the movie intellectually and see if i can understand at least half of it. to be honest, i have never read the book only until after the movie so this explains why i am in awe in the whole sequence of the film. but i have actually read the last book so i may have at least an idea of what is going on. so before watching the film, i reminded myself to separate the movie from the book. and also, i reminded myself to actually analyze the story carefully in which i did and i'm proud. HAHA

the obvious, OBVIOUS comment i've heard about the movie was the one where they said there are contrasting parts from the book to the movie. THAT'S WHY i reminded myself: what you read ain't what you get. David Yates gave his own interpretation of HBP and that's not saying he's better than the author or any of us who've read the book. and it worked. personally, i didn't care if Luna Lovegood was the one who found Harry in the bus instead of Tonks. there was no issue whether the quest for getting Horace Slughorn's memory was altered a bit. and absolutely no problem about the way Mr. Yates had portrayed that Hermione-Ron-Lavender Brown love triangle.

being a fan, i am mostly bothered by people who say the movie was boring and did not liven up to their expectations of the series. well personally i could agree with this only if i did not understand even at least half of it. what makes a movie interesting in a moviegoer's perspective is his level of involvement in the elements of the movie (e.g. emotions, acting, plots). i had this urge to understand in context what the movie is trying to explain and it didn't pass as boring to me at least.

now let's talk about Ron Weasley. HAHAHAHA KIDDING! no but seriously, this paragraph may have a dose of fangirling involved so i'm telling you earlier. you have been warned. i love the fact that the three main characters have grown up so much physically and acting-wise. i was looking back at the younger Ron Weasley in The Sorcerer's Stone and i can't not say how cute he was. the words are just urging to come out of my mouth. and look how he is now, huh. that boy has grown into one fine man. and i'd probably stop myself here to prevent myself for going any further about Won-Won.

Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) have matured enough but the feeling of familiarity is still there. David Yates might have altered the book a bit but he didn't fail to give the audience the same trio that we have come to know and love. and the actors are brilliant as well. and then there's Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), who had at least a bigger involvement in the movie than the last one, and Snape (Alan Rickman) who, in my opinion, are the strongest players in this game. they lived up to their characters so much that it shows. another great characterization goes to Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) who lived up to what J.K. Rowling has intended her to be. disturbed and mysterious with a bright sense of favoritism. Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright) and Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch) are my favorites in the movie one: for being pretty fierce and two: for being fiercely pretty. i don't know if many of you've realized but these two should be given more recognition often.

that being said, i could say the movie is given proper justice by Mr. Yates than what i could with my own interpretation. it is fairly enjoyable considering the amount of information you need to grasp to decipher what was going on althroughout. every scene is important to know this. if you have the patience, then i reckon you could possibly enjoy the movie with or without noticing its flaws. and then you could see how amazing Rupert Grint was in the movie and yes i was only saying that because i am such an admirer. HAHAHA. but he is. :))

now there's a huge part of me that's saying i don't want this to end yet but i can't wait for the next and final installment. even if it's going to be in two parts.

robots versus ego

2009-07-21T01:33:00.000-07:00

let's see if i remember this clearly.....

it was Friday -- that i could easily recall for i voluntarily skipped my morning class not entirely because we had scheduled a movie date. and also, i think it was around that week in which Michael Jackson died and was all over the news and stuff. i'd spoil you first on the details before the main event because it is deemed as entertaining on its own. HAHA. so we ate homemade lunch at LoveLove's and watched a travel documentary for Hong Kong and Korea. Hong Kong was supposed to be for Jeyel's thesis but we ended up watching the Korea one too because Cesca and i are such fans. i remember smiling the whole time and Jeyel never fails to remind me of that fact. LOL. i wanted to go back and eat there again because LoveLove is such a good cook. i loved it even though i never knew what it was called. (LoveLove should owe me something now because i made puri her luto. HAHAHA.) the most interesting item though in their house was the Haagen-Dazs menu that she and her brother took deliberately from the store. i love it because i love looking at food and more so because it's dessert. HEAVEN ♥

SO. FINALLY moving on to the main event. WE WATCHED TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN and first things first, i missed watching movies with my friends because i haven't done it in a long time (DUH?) so it's officially the happiest moment of my life. forgive me if i get OA with these kinds of stuff. LOL. i was supposed to write a review about the movie but i don't think i could come up with a decent one because i am too blinded with the Shia-ness to even bother about what's going on. plus i kind of dozed off for 5 minutes in that scene where they are running and dodging and running from all that tackling and crashing and tackling. BUT I DON'T CARE because i loved it. well, not much love but whatever. it's kind of like a dump for excessive special effects that there's no more room for the actual storyline. what exactly is the movie about anyways? so there are multiple plots and lots of robots and cleavages courtesy of Megan Fox and that robot-chick. oh, well maybe it is a movie made for every ego of every human being. much preferably the guys when they can actually stare at Megan's boobs and not be prejudiced. but what am i saying when i've already confessed that i loved it? :)))))))

i'll give you one: because i love Shia LaBeouf. and watching a movie (and loving it) only because you admire who's in it is pathetic. well sue me but i really do. HAHAHA. there are no troubles in his acting, as i recall. and he's entertaining to watch. but there's one problem though. i'm not sure whether his character is a confused 14 year old boy undergoing puberty or a problematic teenager who wishes for a normal robot-free life because i'm pretty sure i've seen both sides in the movie.

another thing is the special effects. because i understood that the whole movie is made up entirely out of special effects that you can't not notice it. it is, like, practically stampered all over your face. you can see it, hear it, feel it (not sure about the last part though, i thought the impact was huge it gave me goosebumps). assorted vehicles transforming right before your very eyes is wicked awesome unless you are aware that what you see are genetically enhanced creatures from the techno world. it is unbelievable yet imaginative at the same time. i believe there's one part in the transforming that i strived to calculate which part goes where. that only made my head spin. and i actually forgot to remind myself that there will be excessive usage of clinks and clonks had it not rung into my brain for the entire duration of the movie. it's like LSS only tolerable.

overall i think the movie was entertaining. stupid, yes, but fun to watch. i think Michael Bay disregarded his moviegoers' intellect as people who look for logic in everything. he basically dumped us on a diarrhea of special effects but who's complaining? as long as there are robots willing to fight for mankind, then it's sold. no matter how hard you think about it, you'll find yourself entertained anyways.

now you tell me: what EXACTLY is The Revenge Of The Fallen about?

i just wanted to keep this blog alive..

2009-07-20T02:25:00.000-07:00

looking back, i realized that this blog served as my outlet into anything and everything i have in mind for the past 3 years.. and i wanted to update it sooner only if i had the time to do so. oh yeah, the very cliched "i've been busy" quote is ringing in this post again. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT I WANTED TO SAY but unfortunately couldn't go around to doing it. TV shows and movies that i have seen and wanted to share my thoughts to the world.. school and personal stuffs that might go well into writing about them. stuffs that i normally do back then. back when i had all the time in the world. but i wanted to do it again because i missed it so much. it makes me happy.. i'm happy right now because i'm doing this again. you know that feeling, when you look back to the things that make you feel alive inside? the feeling of reviving yourself? that what i feel right now.. i can't promise to write very often but i can trust myself into the responsibility of keeping this blog alive. these thoughts inside my head need to get out once in a while or else i might be talking to myself randomly -- which i do often. HAHA.

so i guess this is just a welcome back post. i'll be back with reviews for Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen and Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince. and keep me reminded about that Boys Over Flowers review that i should've done after i finished watching it -- yes people, i've watched and waited for the finale a day after it aired in Korea as soon as subs are out. i'll keep you posted. :)

in the meantime:

i *heart* these two dorks. <333

i kind of forgot to post these photo shoots here on my blogspot as well so you'll see this just now.. this all happened last May.. editing is TOO SLOW for me since it took too long for me to finish the manips for all pictures.. but all these shoots are fun!.. besides not having a clear concept and all (i say this everytime) FUN, FUN, FUN! :)

"if i could, i want to say it one more time, that i really like you. my heart's desire for you and my words can't reach you anymore."

i am not really that fond of jpop for i listen to a very few songs from that genre.. but what's interesting is how a particular song gets me from the first listen.. be it because i know them already or because i think they're cute, the songs really do matter.. take Tohoshinki for example, i'm not really following their career in Japan and rarely listen to their Japanese songs but i love their ballads -- Why Did I End Up Falling In Love With You and Bolero.. i still think they're better where they came from and i'm just saying that because i'm bias with kpop.. yes, their Japanese songs are good but it's this feeling because i listen to kpop very often that i ignore their works in Japan.. and now they released their latest single from their latest album in Japan and i have to say that i love it.. yes, because it's a ballad and i'm a sucker for sad songs and yes, because the lyrics are sad..

the MV was also wonderful regarding the fact that it is DBSK-less but still the feel of the song is still there.. this is also the first time that i actually loved their Japanese MV.. obviously, i ignored this one just like what i did to some of their songs and to be completely honest, i really have no idea why i ended up listening to it anyways but at least i did, right?.. the lyrics are lovely because it's sad and it is the main reason why i favored this song.. the melody is as sad as the words and it feels like it is making you cry or bawl or whatever.. from a fangirly point of view -- i could listen and watch to this all day.. ;)

THE REST HERE

the hottest time of the day..

2009-05-04T23:59:00.000-07:00

okay so i've been a very, very bad fan.. ~~i deserve to be punished~~ but to make up for it, here is a new updated version with a new video and new pictures.. i'm all for the Hottest if you ask me.. ;)

did i tell you how much i LOVE 2PM?.. i didn't?.. well isn't it THAT obvious?.. oh okay i'll just have to repeat myself.. i got no problem with that, LOL.. i also mentioned that sexy korean guys who speak sexy english are beyond sexy in all levels.. that partly explains my over-the-top spazzing on these boys.. i think i'm being speechless now that i basically have them running around in my mind, LMAO.. what sets them apart from most idol groups in Korea, aside from the oozing sexiness from head to toe, is their acrobatic talents that is so fresh in the kpop scene thus making them one of the most watched out performers in the industry.. so in short, they are seven b-boy hotties that'll surely bring the house down when they perform.. bonus points for being total dorks.. let me give you a rundown on all the awesomeness that is 2PM.. i said, what time is it now?.. IT'S 2PM BITCHES!!.. =))))

so i really, really, really can't decide the order now but for sure taec will always be my number one.. :)) the rest could just all be number twos because they make everything so hard for me.. especially Junho because boy, did he get so fiiiiine.. =P~

PLEASE REFER TO THIS POST F OR MY ELABORATION ON OK TAEC YEON'S DORKINESS WHICH BROUGHT HIM TO THE TOP SPOT.. he never fails to amuse me everytime.. like when there are seven of them dancing altogether, i was like staring at him The. Whole. Time.. maybe because he's super tall?.. i don't know he just appeals to me more.. <3<3<3

another resident cutie is almost maknae, Jang Woo Young.. don't you just love looking at him?.. i know we do.. i just want to grab his cheeks and squeeze it like there's no tomorrow.. well, actually he's the one who i want to squeeze like there's no tomorrow but it's still the same so, yeah.. the one thing i notice about him when i watch Idol Army is that he is such a camwhore.. and a cute one at that.. i don't mind looking at him all day as long as he keeps doing what he does best.. ;)

he is the one you would actually notice right away because of his exceptional charm.. Nichkhun Horvejkul (or pronounced as nit-cha-khun ho-ra-wet-cha-kul in Thai) is the prettiest of the pretty boys in 2PM.. coming from a total fangirl, i swear his wink could knock you dead in seconds.. that's how precious that wink is.. everybody just loves him and i can't really blame them because it's obvious that he is the most well-known among the group.. i love him to death when he sings/speaks in total english (next to taec of course) because he's just that.. just like that.. *snaps fingers in the air ala-raven symone*

you have to be a blind person to not notice the striking resemblance of Lee Jun Ho to Rain.. that's what he is most known for anyways.. i love, love, LOVE his smile.. as in take-me-away-i'm-captured-by-your-smile kind of smile.. BUT that flip he did in the teaser and their intro perf is BEYOND AWESOME that i just have to have a piece of junho with me thankyouverymuch.. honestly, that's one thing i look forward to when they do that dance because you'll never know if he succeeds or not.. and when he does, OMG I JUST HAVE TO LOVE HIM BECAUSE OF THAT..

2PM leader from Seattle represent!.. Park Jae Beom is one hell of a sexy guy.. as in drool-worthy sexy because of the fanservice he gives on almost all their performances.. stripper jay, hello?.. you just got to love those abs man they were so perfectly sculpted as if it was made for a god or something.. i swear i want a piece of that!.. =P~ and he's got a sexy voice to match (Tae Yang, is that you?).. when you listen to him sing Sisqo's Incomplete, you'll have your eyes only on him i guarantee that.. he's like so perfect that guys would want to be him.. seriously.. (ok i'm sensing some 2PM bias here) ROFL

Kim Jun Su, why did i ever forget you in my previous post?.. well i'm just so glad that he got rid of that bowlcut hair of his.. don't get me wrong, i got used to it but it took me time.. however, junsu wore it so well that it's actually not a hindrance anymore.. but now he has this sexy kind of haircut now, i could appreciate him more often than before, LOL.. but his voice is STILL heavenly and his english is getting pretty good too.. if you hear him sing Incomplete (together with Jaebeom), you'll know what i mean.. ;)

i am also thankful for the change of hairstyle of Hwang Chan Sung.. i really don't get guys with long hair so i thought Chansung is gonna make it hard for me to like him.. but look at him now, ain't he a sexy beast?.. LOL.. i love him in Again & Again because his parts were just win.. the way he raps his lines are awesome that i smile differently when it's his turn.. he's adorable once you get past the thought of him being the maknae.. ROFLMAO, just kidding.. oh, and when he danced to Super Junior's Sorry Sorry with the members just watching from the sidelines is so cute i just want to take him home.. :)))))

i think i'll be in this fandom for a while because i'm just so crazy about them and stuff.. and KHottest is the best fanclub ever for cheering them on on their live performances.. i really do hope they make it big this time.. LIKE REALLY, REALLY BIG.. because they totally deserve it.. :)

two rabbits looking at the moon:

rabbit 1: how far is the moon from here?
rabbit 2: it's very, very far that you can't count the distance.
rabbit 1: wow, really?
rabbit 2: yes, really.

[silence]

rabbit 2: why did you ask?
rabbit 1: nothing. i love you..
rabbit 2: i know..
rabbit 1: i love you from here to the moon.
rabbit 2: i love you more.
rabbit 1: you can't love me more, from here to the moon is already countless.
rabbit 2: yes i can. because i love you from here to the moon and then back...

*from ana's text message

and this is the part where we go "awwwww".. i didn't know rabbits can be this cheesy.. this has got to be one of the cutest things i've ever read.. i don't know, i just had to share it, it is begging to be shared.. XDDD

just to fill this space..

2009-04-25T02:38:00.000-07:00

1. What is more difficult: looking into someone's eyes when telling how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when they tell you how they feel?
- looking into someone's eyes when they tell you how they feel?.. idk it's just that i have this icky feeling when i'm in an eye contact with another person.. and then it gets more uncomfortable when you hear them say that.. maybe it's just me, lol..

2. Think of the last time you were angry. Why were you angry?
- i don't know when basta what i do know is it's because my dad discourage me everytime into what i am doing with the computer.. it pissed me off because he doesn't understand and i know we shouldn't get mad at our parents but i just felt it's too much y'know.. haha it feels like i'm ranting over here aren't i?.. :))

3. You will die in three minutes. Last call?
- last call what?.. please don't let me die?.. XDDDD

4. If you could do anything OR wish anything, what would it be?
- i wish for an unending supply of moolah.. i bet i'd be at my happiest when that happens.. ~~or not~~

5. You can have one of the following two things: trust or love.
- TRUST.. in all caps just because.. :)

6. You are walking to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss told you if you are late one more time you're fired. Do you save the dog?
- of course i'm going to.. fuck my boss, he could be a total bullshit anyway if he didn't understand.. XD

7. would you or have you ever blackmailed someone?
- i did when i was in highschool.. but it's not a grave type of blackmail whatever, it's just what teenagers do when they're bored.. =)))))

8. Think of the last person who you know that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give one year of your life. Do you do it?
- no one is really worth one year of my life /sarcasm.. but i honestly can't think of someone right now sorrytosay..

9. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?
- of course i am!.. who doesn't love me?.. [uh, arrogant much?]

10. Does sex = love?
- not really.. idk it's still depends on the persons involved though..

11. Are you old fashioned?
- err i would say yes but i'm more of a no.. it's pathetic AND amusing actually that society made me this way.. XD

12. What would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or that you do not love them back?
- c'mon these two are not even that hard to do.. it's even harder answering this for whose sakes..

14. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up?
- fangirling.. I KNOW, I'M SERIOUS.. =p

15. Romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them?
- uh, possibly never?.. well maybe there were times but i'm just too shy to tell, lol..

16. If you had to go back in time and change one thing, if you HAD to, even if you have "no regrets" what would you change?
- MY FAILED LETTERING SUBJECT IN FIRST YEAR COLLEGE.. [can i be any more bitter?]

17. Imagine. It is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you?
- superman?.. O_O

18. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying?
- i fail at CPR's.. just call an ambulance?..

19. When and how was the last time you told someone how you REALLY feel?
- again, possibly never.. or maybe i am planning to idk.. there's this one person that i really wanted to talk to right now and tell her what i feel regarding her actions.. BUT, as always, i can't really tell her because i might end up not talking to her..

i have a thing for dorks.. i mean those super cheesy dorks that do not mean to be super cheesy dorks.. there's just something about them that makes me happy just by smiling.. that smile.. it's just.. oh i don't know i get too lost for words whenever something like this comes up.. they're so adorkable that everything they do brings cuteness to the atmosphere.. and fine the weirdness of this all brings a sympathetic smile on my face just thinking about those super cute cheesy dorks.. >.<

and with that i bring you the dorkiest dork of all -- Ok Taec Yeon -- with a cover of probably one of the most beautiful songs ever made.. and hearing his voice makes it even more listenable (if that's a word).. i've had it on repeat since yesterday and it still hasn't changed my impression of the song and mr. ok daeri-nim himself.. *oh why must it be this way?* he has instantly become my number one for 2pm (sorry wooyoung but you're gonna have to go to cesca na..LOL) ~~fuck nakaka-inlab~~ *gets shot* XDDD

on a way to find the key to our emotions..
together we will move the clouds to brighter days..
some people question what i say, try to break up you and me..

for i know this love between us is growing stronger..
you can call me whenever from wherever..
just remember that i'll be there through all the stormy weather..
us break up never, no we'll be together, forever..

you don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry..
but i believe so strongly in you and i..
can't somebody answer me the question why..
you don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry..

for you are always on my mind..
you are always on my mind..
girl you know that you,
you are always,
you are always on my mind..
you are always forever..

if you ever get the feeling,
you wanna play around starting cheating, remember

2009-03-24T16:30:00.000-07:00

as part of tradition, like i always say, kpop groups that i have come to like and love deserves a spot in this blog.. cesca pointed out that whenever there's a big group that would be having their comeback, i always get giddy for them resulting into over-fangirling -- even if i didn't mind them when they're inactive in the kpop scene for a while.. i'm obviously talking about Super Junior am i?.. well i just found out that i could come to have a liking for the group just because.. another one resulting to Big Bang's absence.. i'm still waiting for their comeback -- it better be grand or else.. ;)

since they have 13 members, for whatever reason they have of making them that big, i've had the liberty to introduce them one by one for the benefit of all the people asking [namely cesca and marian].. it took long enough to memorize all their names without looking for a reference and i'm satisfied with that because in my opinion, it's still worth it.. :))

and this is according to my order kasi ganun naman lagi diba?.. ;P

to say Choi SiWon is hot would be an understatement.. but to not mention it is pure idiocy.. siya na ang ang aking favorite member from this group!.. kasi ang manly niya at ang hot niya at ang ano niya at kasi ganun basta.. hahaha lost in words amp.. what's even sexier about him is he is 100% christian -- and a very religious one at that.. he is one of the group's sub vocalist whatever that means.. basta i think he's got a sweet voice.. :D

coming in at 2nd place is Lee DongHae.. waw contest?.. actually wala naman akong masabi ee basta na cute-an lang kami sa kanya sa Happiness MV.. hahahahaha so ayun.. :))) he is the group's rapper and also a sub vocalist..

Super Junior also has a foreign member on their team in the form of HanKyung.. pwede ring HanGeng whatever you like, LOL.. he's chinese originally ayun wala lang sharing.. i like him now than yung mga dating perfs nila kasi may something na nag-iba sa kanya na naging more noticeable.. ang hot niya sa mv ayun.. XDDDD another sub vocalist and i think he is one of the main dancers of the group..

Cho KyuHyun is the maknae.. akala ko talaga either si sungmin or si ryeowook yung maknae ee siya pala.. siya yung 13th member to be added sa suju, wala lang sharing ulet.. at siya rin yung naka duet ni Charice Pempengco sa Star King nung kumanta sila ng A Whole New World.. eto ngayon ang pinalampas ni Marian kasi hindi yung maknae yung napili niya ngayon.. hahahaha mukha kasing mas bata yung dalawa sa kanya ee.. main vocalist of the group, obviously..

Kim YoungWoon or most popularly known as KangIn.. i like him in Attack On The Pin-Up Boys ang cute niya.. kahit medyo nagiging chubby na siya cute parin siya.. may pagka childish kasi siya sa movie ee kaya ayun.. the group's sub vocalist.. may distinction sa voice niya na madaling malaman na siya yung kumakanta ee.. cute..

Kim Kibum hasn't been active for their comeback because his mom has been ill and he had to take care of her for a while.. sweet no?.. but whatever i still think he's cute.. he is actually Marian's pick for the team.. i think he's even cuter with glasses just like in Attack On The Pin-Up Boys.. he is also the groups rapper..

Super Junior's pretty boy -- Lee SungMin.. siya ata yung unang-una kong nakilala sa suju dahil sa subgroup niyang Happy.. di lang ako makapaniwala na mas matanda pa siya kay SiWon, LOL.. ang babyface kasi masyado eno?.. akala ko talaga siya yung maknae.. he is one of the group's main vocalists..

Kim RyeoWook is cute but kind of iffy [in a good way].. i'm really not sure what character he plays in Attack On The Pin-Up Boys but whatever it is, it's hilarious.. akala din namin isa siyang maknae.. looks can be deceiving talaga.. he has this thing he does when he's singing na whatever basta i find it cute.. :)) also one of the group's main vocalists..

Kim JongWoon.. mabuti naman he has better hair na sa comeback nila or else i would go *meh* nanaman on him.. hello, lion king hair?.. YeSung actually is a good singer i think siya ang pambato nila.. Super Junior Happy days pa yun nung sinabi kong i'm in love with his voice.. and i still am.. kaya nga siya yung lead vocalist ee.. <3

i think EunHyuk is their representative when it comes to dancing.. pero infairness magaling naman talaga siya ee.. Lee HyukJae real name niya just in case someone wants to know.. a rapper, lead dancer and sub vocalist of the group..

Park JungSu or LeeTeuk is their leader at siya rin yung pinakamatanda sa kanilang lahat.. di lang halata kasi payat siya hahahahahahaha wala lang.. ang dorky din niya minsan lalo na pag sumasayaw siya.. laavet!.. :)))) also one of the sub vocalists..

Shin DongHee or ShinDong is chubby but cute.. pero minsan scary siya pero cute, hahahahahahaha.. he's the groups rapper and he can dance awesomely.. i can't believe how he could dance so flawlessly like he does.. grabe bilib.. XDDD

if there's one member that i am actually afraid of, it would be Kim Heechul.. seriously dude like scary kind of scary.. he's actually the sub-leader [because sa dami nila kelangan siguro nun [student body?]] .. i'm really not sure what to feel about him since he kissed three guys already in a concert [including SiWon, WTF!].. to be fair, he looks good with shorter hair like the one he has now [not talking about the picture] and in the Attack On The Pin-Up Boys movie.. also a rapper and a sub vocalist, yun na lang, ROFLMAO..

grabe ang dami!.. at ang hirap mag edit infairness, LMAO.. anyway, the video featured above is Marian and mine's secret swoon during the times that i'm rooting for Big Bang against Super Junior.. now it's safe to say that all kpop groups can now be equal to our eyes because of this.. Happiness is still their best cute MV and song to date and it makes us so happy just by thinking about it.. =))))))

only you..

2009-03-22T23:18:00.000-07:00

why can't i let go of the memories that have already ended?..
why do i keep holding onto them alone?..
after letting that person left me, go, i live a new life..
i know it too, that it's the way it should be, i know it too..

though i couldn't bring myself to believe it the first month,
after nothing but crying for the second month..
and on the third month, holding onto my whole heart..
i tried to meet other people..
but i couldn't bring myself to smile..

only you, only you can bring me to life..
i can't stop these tears..
so just come and return to me..
only you, if it's not you, i can't be fixed..
i can't bring myself to smile again..
it's only you my baby it's only you..

you were really beautiful.. when you smiled, i was blinded by the light..
to that bright smile, i lost track of all thought..
miss you baby, i really miss you so much..

no can understand me, and also as of now..
why to this day i still have a deep attachment to you?..
though they don't get it, you have known it..

i tried to forget you but,
no matter how hard i tried, i keep finding myself looking for you..
and even until now, i keep remembering that bright smile..
isn't it pitiful, how did it come to be this way?..
i'm unable to quite forget everything altogether..
there continues to exist an empty spot that refuses to be filled..
it can only be filled by you..

are you doing okay?.. i'm not doing well, i need you..

i might not dislike them after all..

2009-03-17T02:12:00.000-07:00

proof that absence does makes the heart grow fonder.. in this case, Big Bang's absence made my heart grew fonder towards other kpop groups.. AND I'LL MAKE THIS CLEAR THAT I'M ALWAYS FOR BIG BANG ABOVE ANYONE ELSE.. since i don't hear news about them often, i reckon i probably needed something to fill in my fanservice-y needs.. and then Super Junior came along with their comeback and their catchy song [nge parang lovelife lang? LOL]..

okay to be honest, i didn't like them initially -- on the days when Big Bang and Super Junior are battling it out for the MTV Asia Awards '08.. SuJu was winning through online votes and i was not happy about that.. siguro dahil nadin dun kaya ako naging bitter sa kanila.. pero wala na yun kasi matagal ko din silang hindi pinansin, parang SNSD lang?..LOL so anyway, ayun nga natuwa ako sa comeback nila and i think their single is super catchy.. LSS na nga ako ee and i think a lot of people are getting interested in the video, sa plurk pa lang ee.. :)) plus i'm beginning to think na some of them looked hot [omg SiWon!.. omg DongHae!.. omg HanKyung!..] i know, i know, i have weird choices ne?..ROFLMAO

no good things come unnoticed..

2009-03-16T23:59:00.000-07:00

The students of the University of Sto. Tomas College of
Fine Arts and Design presented a Rude de Mirage for their year-end fashion show.
It was a whirl of colors and optical illusion, wherein each of the eight groups
brought a specific color and pattern combination to life.

The end results were tailored suit jackets, voluminous skirts, and more. The play on
proportions, volume, texture, and of course pattern and color provided for quite
the visual smorgasbord.

Fuse Sia (red, oriental)
Esquinita (orange,
plain)
Yellow Lane (yellow, plaid)
Green Mod Culture (green, polka dots)
La Fleur de Vestir (blue, flowers)
Ultraviolet (purple, stripes)
Primal Instinct (black
and white, animal prints)
Haute Couleur (neon, abstract)

February 24, 2009
Crossroad77, Quezon City
CFAD Advertising Arts Junior Students Annual Fashion Show

..it has been two weeks already since this happened and i still can remember clearly what went down.. :)) hangover na rin siguro ng pagiging involved mo sa event at yung pressure at excitement altogether during that time.. this is probably one of the events in college that would remain memorable for me at hindi ko talaga siya makakalimutan.. i did sound mushy pero what i'm saying is because i had fun through the process, marami ring nangyari na when i look back at it, a flashback is automated inside my head [and don't smirk because you have an idea of what i'm trying to say..shhh secret lang natin yun, LMAO]..

i signed myself up in the designers committee obviously because of interest.. and i promised myself that i'd be designing for the fashion show since 1st year pa.. purple stripes is the recurring theme of our collection and we named ourselves Ultraviolet.. my design is just plain casual and so RTW lang.. ~~sometimes~~ oftentimes i get dissapointed in the final output of my design mainly because i blame the modista.. my design looked cheap tuloy buti na lang my models were good-looking or else i'd be covering my face in shame.. carry naman siya actually ee kaya lang i can't help but feel uneasy because nga of the quality.. i'm thinking tuloy of having one made again just to calm my nerves, LOL.. and then there are times na i felt my models were uneasy about my designs too [except for the guy because i think he's okay with it].. the girl, i don't know much because i avoid asking her with anything that starts off with a "how's the dress?" statement.. =)) =))

we had our photoshoot for the catalogue a week before the show sa Makati.. i was really, really impressed because of all the hardwork being put out in this shoot.. and you can see that everyone is having fun din -- even the models.. although it got wheezy in a while, but still..LOL basta naaliw lang ako sa photoshoot kasi they set up a studio-like setting with a black backdrop and bonggang bonggang lights to add to the drama.. grabe first time kong maging involved sa ganitong production.. :))

[ photography by Zanti Jimenez ]

our fashion show, if i was to judge it based on the previous fashion shows made by other batches, was so-so in a way because i still think i'm biased in last year's fashion show because it's film-related.. but when you ask people who didn't even see those fashion shows before [according to Ma'am Adonis], they would totally say we've done a great job because, in its context, is true naman kahit papano..pinaghihirapan naman lahat ng events and syempre meron paring mga bad points na mangyayari which unfortunately is yung mas pinapansin.. pero whatever, at least we got to experience this event in college and as i said earlier nga, it's going to be one of those times in college that i would look back and say i was proud to be part of that.. regardless of everything negative or whatever, ROFLMAO.. :))

let me introduce to you..

2009-03-04T01:45:00.000-08:00

Star Golden Bell has now become one of my most watched-out-for shows on KBS World and even though i'm not often familiar with guests on the show, i am really entertained.. nakakatawa kasi madalas lalo na yung part na ini-introduce ng host yung mga guests.. nakakaaliw lang.. :D

and the reason why i blog suddenly about this is because i've never been happy seeing Jung Yi-Cheol in the show -- and for those of you noobs who don't know who he is, he plays the role of JeHa / HaJe in the drama Boys Before Flowers.. super crush ko na siya.. kahit nandyan si SeungRi pero ang attention ko naka focus kay Yi-Chul, oye.. i LOVE looking at this guy kahit super awkward niya the entire show.. and as Jedong points out, he really has a silly charm that he doesn't notice.. cute no?.. here's a sample:

video credited to soshisubs2 @ YT

this episode also stars Girl's Generation minus one [where's Yoona?].. anyway, ako ok lang sakin kahit ganun siya magsalita, eh kung ganyan kagwapo naman ba ang kumausap sayo deba?.. you really, really, really have to watch the entire episode because it is made of so much awesome!.. na-enjoy ko siya ng sobra, swear..

and speaking of Star Golden Bell, i miss that cute kid [i forgot his name, sorry] who does the Level With Me round.. although Nicole, from Kara, is funny and interesting, i think i got used to that kid so much.. too bad he left to "prioritize his studies" whatever that means.. and also the Detective Soo Young round with, err, Soo Young.. she left too and is replaced by that pretty lady whom i also forgot the name [i'm that bad with names].. ayun lang, bow.. :D

i want nobody but you..

2009-01-28T01:22:00.000-08:00

I want nobody, nobody but you
I want nobody, nobody but you
I want no one else but you
Can't have anyone but you
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

Why are you trying to push me away?
you know that I hate it, you ignore what im saying
Why are you trying to send me to other?
You push me away like a little each day why?

Saying that this is for my own good
Saying that you are just not worth it
Please, stop it right now coz' you know me enough that i will come back to you no matter what!

I want nobody, nobody but you
I want nobody, nobody but you
I want no one else but you
Can't have anyone but you
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

All the pushing won't change my feelings
I am happy to have you,
more than willing to please you
i'm begging you please don't walk away from me Coz' i can't be happy away from your side

Saying that this is for my own good
Saying that you are just not worth it
Please, stop it right now coz' you know me enough that i will come back to you no matter what!

I want nobody, nobody but you
I want nobody, nobody but you
I want no one else but you
Can't have anyone but you
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I don't want nobody, body
I don't want nobody, body
Life is unperfect without seeing you
I cannot have anyone but you

and i'm being SO cheesy but this song is just too beautiful for words..

nakakainis sila bakit ang ganda ng harmonization nila.. i love acapella na tuloy, LOL.. parang nakakapapagaan ng loob yung singing grabe OA na kung OA, haha.. although it's mostly JaeJoong dominating in the vocals ~~and very little JunSu~~, overall symphony is just perfect--with some YunHo beats on the side which is made of so much awesome.. perfect with a capital P-E-R-F-E-C-T na bonggang bongga, LOL.. and i'm loving JunSu's total look btw.. :]

2009-01-07T14:38:00.000-08:00

Girl's Generation's new MV was released a while ago and now i had the chance to see it.. honestly, i was kinda looking forward to it from the teaser pa lang.. i know, i used to hate them but since they've been absent in the kpop scene for some time now i figured what the heck.. actually i don't hate all of them, just Tiffany because she's being a bitch pero i don't know i guess i'd come to have a liking for these girls just because..

oh no, it's the attack of the plastic mannequins!.. hehe.. but kidding aside it was fun watching them act cute and all that.. well somebody told me 2009 is supposed to be sexy.. ok sorry na i actually liked the MV.. the only person i really like entirely when i'm having a bitch fit about SNSD is SooYoung.. she's so pretty with those long legs infairness.. TaeYeon and Yuri can sing, i actually enjoyed their parts.. i'm really trying hard to like Yoona because i think wala naman siyang ginagawang masama, hahaLOL.. SeoHyun dances good and is actually fun to look at.. Jessica became prettier and more tolerable.. HyoYeon can actually look good but i really, really think that the cute act is not for her.. Sunny, well i guess i don't really have much to say about her kasi hindi ko siya masyadong napapansin.. Tiffany kinda looks like Uhm JungHwa in the mannequin part.. all in all, the MV is ok but i do believe they can do better than that come on the cutesy image is sooo overrated maybe it's time for a new concept.. Wonder Girls did change theirs and look at them now..

speaking of, hindi naman ako pwedeng mag post ng SNSD nang walang WG deba injustice na yon sa blog ko, hahaLOL.. here is their SBS Gayo Daejun performance which i think is the best Nobody Remix perf i have ever heard.. :D

Ye Eun is, as usual, has awesome vocals.. SunYe, as usual, is an awesome performer.. YuBin is, as always, pleasing to the eyes.. SunMi looks more and more pretty everytime i see her.. and SoHee is just being SoHee, haha.. love the dance towards the end, so fierce.. i think they're getting better live compared to their past performances.. :]

this is a very long post..

2009-01-06T23:59:00.000-08:00

i've prepared a 4-part movie review special[LOL] for those i've just watched.. and they're all korean so my fangirling obviously shows major in these posts.. i think these are old-school movies because they've been around for a long time now.. oo kasi kakapanood ko lang recently kaya ang loser ko masyado, hahaLOL..

being in love doesn't necessarily involve physical attractions.. it must come from what's inside regardless of how the other half looks.. uh-huh, in reality i guess 70% believe that.. the other 30 just don't get it [i'm one of the 30 by the way if you may ask, hehe].. so this is proven by the film 200 Pound Beauty and ewan ko lang kasi hindi naman actually na-inlove si SanJung kay Hanna once upon a time eh.. siguro kay Jenny slash Hanna pwede pa pero diba, hahaha.. anyway, una ko tong napanood sa Cinema One eh na-excite lang ako kasi first time kong mapapanood itong movie na ito.. i've been hearing stuffs about it and many times i planned to watch pero to no avail.. ayun finally kaya medyo ang saya ko nung time na yun.. ayun so yun na lang daw yung kinwento ko.. :))

200 Pound Beauty is not necessarily an all-out outstanding movie but the flow of the film made it so much worth watching.. its humor is fresh and honest and the script is, uh, well made--because i can't think of any other words to describe it, LOL.. i really had a good laugh infairness to the characters and the story ok naman siya despite it being centered to lack of self-esteem resulting to physical transformation through plastic surgery.. siguro wag na lang nating isiping ganun yon, haha.. there's something about Kim Ah-Joong that makes her character more appealing and natural i can't describe in words.. she's so good at looking innocent and her character is not totally forced.. plus, she's pretty and can sing as well.. Joo Jin-Mo is eye-candy material and good for the eyes--in the movie at least.. kagulat-gulat lang ang pagbasag niya ng baso moment which i think is so real because of the impact and the blood and all that [oye i just have to add that]..

what's really, really fascinating about the movie is its awesome soundtrack.. they got stuck in my head the instant i heard it for the first time.. Byul (Star) is a must-hear because of its lovely tune.. i admit i liked it even before i tried searching for its english translation.. the message was emotional but heartwarming at the same time.. Maria showcases Kim Ah-Joong's strong vocals and Beautiful Girl kind of stands in the bubbly kpop kind that i got used too.. all in all a personal favorite.. :)

so back then, everyone is talking about My Sassy Girl and i feel sorry for myself because i feel sooo left out.. well here's to say to everyone who made me listen to their endless blabberings about the movie: i have watched it and i felt it and i love it!.. ~~in your face!~~.. i really don't know why i didn't watch it dati pa maybe this is me trying to avoid mainstream pop [hello Twilight?]..

i love Jeon Ji-Hyun because she's so pretty i think i have a crush on her na, seriously guys.. and the spunky attitude fits her well too no?.. the movie is very watchable all thanks to her.. and the story is touching too, let's not forget that.. i love the time machine concept of the movie kasi dun na ako naging mushy and all.. lalo na sa time capsule part, grabe i can't even begin telling you how mushy i felt at that moment and you know naman how i love it when i feel that way.. way, way better than drugs, i'm telling you, haha.. HONESTLY, why do i think Cha Tae-Hyun is too awkward for my taste.. i mean let's face it, he's not totally good looking but at least he's ~~tolerable~~ fairly watchable.. but i have nothing against him, in fact i think bumabawi siya with his current look.. nagiging mas ok na siya sa paningin ko kahit papano, LOL.. well if i'm gonna talk about acting, Tae-Hyun pulled it off flawlessly.. one moment you'll laugh at him because he's funny, then you'll feel sorry for him because he's always physically abused, then you'll swoon over him being the gentleman that he is and then before you know it, you'll feel like you wanted to cry just because he's living such an almost lonely life.. see, i told you he's an effective character-actor.. well at least that works for me..

Pachelbel's Canon became such a huge hit after this movie was released, IMO.. it actually was the theme song for the film and Jeon Ji-Hyun once played it on their 100th day--in the film.. that piece defined the romantic tone of the story and it is smoothly executed with the moments within.. another personal favorite is the I Believe song sung by Shin Seung-Hun.. one, because it was being played at my favorite part of the movie and two, because it is lovely to listen to.. it's like magic once i listen to the song i automatically shift My Sassy Girl moments in my head.. winner!..

why hello again Ms. Jeon Ji-Hyun.. i remember my friend making kwento to me about Windstruck and how it is somewhat related to My Sassy Girl--that the ending of the former becomes the beginning of the latter.. i also don't know why i did not check that out way back then.. so i gave myself a chance to see for myself about "the wonders" of the movie.. and now i can say that Windstruck has now become my most favorite mushy movie of all time forever to infinity and beyond and i will continue to love it until the end of time.. cheesy much?.. yeah because that's how i LOVE it..

i really can't deny the fact that it is indeed a tearjerker and a heart-melter all in one.. if you are one of my friends, i guess you've probably heard me a million times already that i cried so much because of that movie.. and i'm proud of it because it's true.. i can't help it, it has grown in on me.. Jeon Ji-Hyun--as usual--did so well as KyungJin.. i love her dance in the rain, nakakatuwa.. but the main attraction here is really Jang Hyuk.. he plays a big part in my current obsession with the film.. admit it or not he is eye-candy material.. i love his acting and his facial expressions.. same as Tae-Hyun but more tolerable, LOL.. actually he's my newfound crush.. ok lang kahit medyo mukhang ajusshi na siya at least napapangiti niya ako, oha.. hahahaLOL.. and if you may, i'd like to point out some of my favorite parts from the movie in no particualr order [read: spoilers]..

1.) the giant balloon hand that saves her from falling..

2.) the dancing in the rain together with the Stay Just A Little Bit Longer background music..

3.) the handcuffed scenes..

4.) the pinky promise story..

5.) their vacation/out of town..

6.) her dream that MyungWoo is still alive and had lost a lung [cried]..

7.) the paper airplane and pinwheel scenes [cried]..

8.) the 49th day of MyungWoo's death [super cried]..

9.) the ending [LOLed]..

i guess that's it pero kung tutuusin, the whole movie is really worth the watch as in every scene super heartwarming and unforgettable.. agree?.. and if you listen closely, the part where KyungJin sets up all those pinwheels and the wind is blowing all over her place, Tears is playing in the background.. it's actually Japanese and although i don't really listen to JPop [except for Tohoshinki, i guess] i loved it.. it's perfect for the scene and the only line i understood [because it's english] is now my official anthem for the movie.. "dry your tears with love" [swoons].. and as mentioned earlier, Stay Just A Little Bit Longer is another song that would get me into reminding how much fun i had when watching Windstruck..

i didn't know that The Lake House starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock is a remake from the Korean film Il Mare until Von told me one day.. so i decided to watch.. i haven't seen The Lake House pero i remember adoring the trailer because of the "magical" implications about connecting the present to the past.. i have thoughts of watching the Hollywood version sana pero wala akong kasamang manood kaya hindi ko na natuloy..

i am completely enthralled to see Jeon Ji-Hyun, again, in that movie.. this is like a Jeon Ji-Hyun tribute post because i've reviewed three of her movies agad in one go, LOL.. i didn't recognize her at first because the girl looked older considering Il Mare was done before My Sassy Girl.. my hyung told me they look exactly alike but i digressed.. and now i stand corrected seeing her name in the credits.. to be honest, Il Mare looked boring if you didn't stick your nose to it.. nung una pa nga inisip ko napaka slow paced niya kasi parang ang bagal ng flow ng story.. but as it progresses, you'll feel that you're right all along that you've stucked with it all throughout.. it was a good watch only if you took extra notice on the two leads.. Lee Jung-Jae looks really good in this one.. another one of them eye-candy material lead men.. and can i just say that his smile is so cute that i can live with seeing just that all day.. ngiti pa lang niya busog na ako, hahaha.. the movie was sweet entirely and meron ding mga kilig moments syempre.. i personally loved the idea of the mailbox representing their communication to literally different worlds.. i look forward in seeing them read each other's letters and what they will say considering their time[year?] differences.. the ending was completely amazing that i have to applaud the writers for that.. it is somehow a twist of the unexpected yet you'll feel you know what's going to happen next.. Il Mare is a very good romantic flick about impossible relationships.. it's like transcending the past and present and gives hopes that love is unexpected.. i feel mushy na tuloy just writing about it..

these four movies represent my fangirling experience during my Christmas vacation.. if i haven't gone into my current obsession with korean culture i guess i wouldn't have taken interest in these so i thank myself for that, hehe.. korean movies never fail to amaze me everytime.. they are just a perfect trigger for making me sob and all mushy and i am looking forward for more from them.. ;]

2009-01-04T21:33:00.000-08:00

Dong YoungBae and Xiah JunSu represent!.. hahaLOL..

they both did very well with this perf.. very well as in i'm not being bias as to who did better eh kung pareho naman silang masarap pakinggan.. ang kagulat-gulat lang dito is that they chose to sing in ~~engrish~~ english and pretty much they've improved from what i used to hear them--in english i mean.. here's what i would say na lang: TaeYang's voice is so cool that i could just fall in love with it from the first listen pa lang.. and his english has improved kamusta naman yun from "i don't hungry" to this diba, win!.. and his piano skill is SUPER AWESOME.. i know i just have to put it in all caps because it's awesome like dut.. JunSu is a very good balladeer, i mean he can range his voice to so many levels[LOL] yet still sound lovely to the ears.. i love his voice talaga forever.. and his emotions are well expressed throughout the song because he's cool like dut.. although i really must say that his engrish sounds funny but nice work anyway from him.. :D

ang issue ko lang is bakit walang Big Bang + DBSK joint stage na naganap?.. piano battle and dance battle were there but totally not what i expected.. para saan pa ang mga promo pictures kamusta naman yun.. wala lang masyado lang akong na-excite sana.. hahaha.. :))

i can't believe you had the nerve to say the things you said
they hurt so bad that they ended our relationship
i can't believe it .. four years gone down the drain
oh how i wish things would've happened so differently
i tried to save it so many times but you still couldn't see
you kept insisting and resisting that you would not fall again
and now your trying to tell me that your sorry
and your trying to come back home
your telling me you really need me crying beggin both knees are on the floor
but baby i......

don't wanna try, don't wanna try, don't wanna try no more
you keep insisting when you know our love is out the door
don't wanna try, don't wanna try cuz all we do is fight and say the things
that hurt so bad to where we both begin to cry
don't wanna try, don't wanna try i just 'bout had enough its been a rough road
baby just let it go
don't wanna try, don't wanna try, don't wanna try no more
tell me whats the use of holding on when all we do is hurt our love

credit to mayz34 @ YT

the loneliness of nights alone
the search for strength to carry on
my every hope had seemed to die
my eyes had no more tears to cry
then like the sun shining up above
you surrounded me with your endless love
and all the things i couldn't see
are now so clear to me

oh, oh, you're the breath of life in me
the only one that sets me free
and you have made my soul complete
for all time, for all time

you are my everything
nothing your love won't bring
my life is yours alone
the only love i've ever known
your spirit pulls me through
when nothing else will do
every night, i pray down on bended knee
that you will always be
my everything
oh, my everything

OMG

book review: trading up

2008-12-12T07:14:00.000-08:00

author: Candace Bushnell

The traffic had slowed to twenty miles an hour, and Janey drummed her left hand on the steering wheel, her eighteen-karat-gold Bulgari watch flashing in the sun. Her fingers were long and slender--a fortune teller had once said that her hands were "artistic"--marred only by stubby fingertips with nails bitten to the quick. In the past nine months, ever since she'd been picked, Cinderella-like, to star in the new Victoria's Secret campaign, every makeup artist in town had pleaded with her to stop biting her nails, but it was an old childhood habit she couldn't break. The physical plain she inflicted on herself was a perverse way of controlling the emotional pain the world had inflicted on her.

--Excerpt from the book

to be honest, i didn't get to finish this book when Greychell first lent it to me because i got so bored of the first chapters and didn't give it much thought afterwards.. but seeing it on my shelf for a long time--Greych probably don't mind na i have it pa--i decided to actually finish it so i could return it na rin after.. what stopped me to continue is the fact that it's super thick with just-OK font size and the story was thinning in my opinion because the author wouldn't stop talking about things i'm not sure if it's supposed to be talked about.. what i didn't know is that the interesting part comes after..

so the story is basically about a lingerie model and how she aspires to be part of the elite society.. of course there's this stereotype of glamour galore and all that along with the scandals that usually follow its name.. grabe it's like a bible of all things high-end na din, IMO.. eh what can you expect naman from a story where everyone wants to be above someone.. sounding like a total noob, i suddenly thought of Gossip Girl as an exact inspiration for imagination.. Sex and the City would do sana if only i'd watch at least a full episode, LOL..

the author has her way of making the story somewhat longer because of the added flashbacks and vivid, very detailed descriptions about everything.. that's why it's hard not to understand parts of it.. it kinda pissed me off [well not quite actually] how i find that i'm losing the kwento na pala because of the added extras and whatnots.. so saying it's necessary for the story, i really think it would do without the excessive use of them.. i'm not even a critic so whatever anyway, yes?.. :))

overall maybe i'd rate it a 3 out of 5.. but i find it a good read naman e so i recommend sticking your nose to this one too.. :D

social degradation..

DISCLAIMER: i only grabbed this post from karla's multiply blog and feel like sharing to ya'll its story.. i haven't read and watched the original novel so i won't be giving fair judgment to it as supposed to what i say all the time.. i am neither a pro-twilight nor an anti.. i just have this sudden disdain in mainstream pop culture for i think i always root for the underdog.. the reason is currently unknown.. moving on, sorry guys explicit content to eh so kung mga nene at dodong pa kayo ay mabuting lampasan niyo na ang post entry nato.. thanks much mwah[?]..

Twilight ( Kanto Version )

Kasi pare ganito daw yun. may isa daw babae na hot daw pare. pero maputla siya kasi hindi siya inalagaan ng nanay niya pare. tapos pare emo daw siya kasi nga daw hindi siya mahal ng mundo at para siyang patay na bata na galit sa mundo. tapos pare, lumipat daw siya ng tirahan kasi daw masyado daw siyang emo para sa luma niyang tirahan. sabi niya sa nanay niya "tangina mo nay gusto ko lumipat kay tay". tangina pare hindi nagalit nanay niya. sabi lang ng nanay niya "tangina mo pare wag ka magmura".

so lumipat siya sa tatay niya di ba? pagkarating niya dun sabi niya, "tangina erpat bakit maulan dito?" sabi ng erpat niya "gago "bur" months na! malamig na tangena". so nagtaka yung babaeng simula ngayon ay tatawagin na lang nating "babaeng maputla at emo".

so pumasok siya sa school di ba? binigyan siya ng truck ng tatay niya pare. sabi ng tatay niya "tangina mo sa'yo na tong truck ko". sabi niya "salamat tay".

pagkarating niyang school tsong, may nakita siyang lalaking mukhang bangkay pero pogi. sakto. pogi pero mukhang bangkay. sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "hot pare".

nung chem lab na ni babaeng maputla at emo, natagpuan niyang lab partner niya yung poging bangkay. so nung tinignan siya nung poging bangaky, ang asim ng mukha nito. mukhang nandiri ata kay babaeng maputla at emo.

sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina mo". sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "tangina KA". sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina NIYA oh *tumuro sa teacher nila*". sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "oo nga noh. TANGINA MO". sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina mo gago bampira ako". tapos naghubad siya ng damit at kumintab ang katawan niya kasi linagyan niya ng glitters ang abs niya kasi tigas siya at ganun na ang mga tigas ngayon na nagpupuntang emba. Puta pare sarap niyang isanla sa pawnshop feeling ko kikita ako ng malupet sa kanya! Isipin mo shining shimering ang gago!

so anyways pare na in love si babaeng maputla at emo kay poging bangkay. si poging bangkay naman sige lang kasi sex din daw yun. so ayun. angshweet shweet nila. parang:

"eow poh... ahihihihi"

"bebe mwahugz,..... ^^, ilabshooo"

so tapos nun nagpunta sila sa damuhan kasi.... alam mo na. tapos sabi ni poging bangkay "ikaw na buhay ko ngayon" sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "tangina mo gago patay ka na". sabi ni poging bangkay "TANGINA KA".

so basically pare yun lang yung mga importanteng nangyari sa buong storya. intense noh? kaya pala nahhook lahat ng tao.

ayan kasi tawa ka na lang, LOL.. :))

"As long as you laugh, whether to yourself or anything else, you will feel happier... Even bad things will seem to become better... Let's continue laughing together."
-Xiah Junsu

onga naman.. i want to laugh with him.. kasi gusto kong marinig yung *eunkyangkyang* niya IRL, hahaLOL.. pero seriously, i feel this would be a good mantra for me nadin kasi i've been thinking a lot about life and how it's been to me.. i can't just go on saying life's unfair and stuff like that because i'm only 17 years young and i still have a lot ahead of me to prove otherwise.. onga when ~~super hard~~ trials come my way hindi ko naman maiiwasan na maging bitter about everything.. siguro it's part of the essence why i'm living in this world and why i am like this.. ang iniisip ko kasi palagi is how everything doesn't turn out right for me.. selfish na nga kung selfish pero kung dun naman ako magiging masaya diba.. basta ayun i promise to be happy na lang forever kasi sabi ni Junsu ee, hehe.. and because i know God would never let anything unworthy happen to me.. i'm still holding on to this hope na someday, somehow it will happen.. :D

Your Inner Gender is Male

You are rational, matter of fact, and quite dominant.
You like to get things done, without any emotional messiness.
You truly don't understand most women. And you definitely feel more comfortable around men.
No doubt about it. You're a guy - at least on the inside.

What's Your Inner Gender?

i really don't know if i should react positively or negatively about the result but it gave me a good laugh.. after some ~~deep~~ thinking, maybe what it says about me is true.. that i'm more likely rational and matter of fact.. but what i don't get is that it said i truly don't understand women.. i'm not sure if i would protest or just let the fact state that there's something more that needs to be understood.. i have a lot of female friends and from that point of view, understanding them isn't so difficult at all, IMO..

oh, and the second paragraph is so totally true i can swear on that.. :))

icon dump now open..

2008-11-25T00:24:00.000-08:00

and by that, i could now say that my livejournal can be viewed publicly.. but you won't see much pa because i rarely post there [i think i have 3 pa lang? O.O].. at medyo baguhan pa lang ako sa livejournal, haha.. ayun siguro i'll leave my fangirling and total spazzing there and let this blogspot be my personal space.. wala na lang akong magagawa kung merong occasional swooning na lalabas from time to time sa aking future posts dito, eh ayun ee, lol.. pero i'll try updating it naman para masabing ginagamit ko siya kahit papano.. hoho.. :))

and now on with the icons!.. you can find them all at my livejournal.. i think i won't be able to make another batch sooner kasi malamang lamang super busy na naman ako with school stuffs [read: death-defying plates] and i'm such a noob when it comes to icon making.. oo kasi matagal siya bago makumpleto.. :D pero ayun sige yun nga, lol..

teasers:

moarr here.. Ü

at kung may kukuha man please lang credit me properly.. ~~sana may kumuha nga~~.. ayun haha.. Ö

of strangers and strange people..

2008-11-22T01:50:00.000-08:00

..because there's a huge difference. :)

Another hundred people just got off of the train
And came up through the ground,
While another hundred people just got off of the bus
And are looking around
At another hundred people who got off of the plane
And are looking at us
Who got off of the train
And the plane and the bus...
--Another Hundred People from the musical Company

i just realized that more often than not, i find it fascinating to think that out of all the strangers you see everyday, there might be a chance that you've seen him/her somewhere before in your life.. this may sound delusional but at some point there's this feeling of recognition inside me even though there's no way of meeting in between us, ever.. wala lang it's insane and disturbing yet quite interesting at the same time.. nge?..

and speaking of strange and delusional, i think i may have found myself someone who might qualify as a person of interest and would probably clear my mind to why the hell have i been crush-less for so many months now.. of course, fangirling is beyond the border and could not, i repeat, COULD NOT substitute as reality-flailing regardless of how hot they are.. strange because he isn't that attractive and all and delusional because i think i'm becoming paranoid, again.. or maybe i'm thinking of putting this off until my mind works for the better.. who knows if this is just another overnight thing--i sleep and then it's gone in the morning.. oh and another thing; if he turns out to be one of those ego obsessed species, then it would be off to the drain for him.. facepalm to death, oye.. XD

oh the places i could go..

2008-11-08T07:35:00.000-08:00

i still can't believe i went to Makati Ave. by myself.. that's like something i never thought i could do, ever.. and to top it off, i don't know anything about the place.. i think i've been there before i don't remember pero i was with someone naman nun e so i probably didn't mind where we went..

the funny thing about this is it's not even planned at all.. i'm supposed to have class that day but i came in late [again] for i think two hours so when i got there they're already dismissed.. and then, like fate made my day even worse, the next class is cancelled so i technically don't have to go to school at all.. but i'm already there so i looked for my friends where they were eating and tagged along with them and everything's fine until they wanted to go home na.. i was like i just got there and sayang naman if my 1 hour of travel from our house to the school would be put to waste.. i could invite them for something to do but they have excuses not to go na lang.. i remembered this korean place my friend told me about on P. Burgos St. in Makate Ave. and she said they have a lot of korean establishments there that i might want to take a look at.. since i'm reluctant to go home yet, i decided to go there and check it out.. i have to go alone because my friends already wanted to go home or are afraid they might get lost.. as if being by myself makes it more convenient, hahaLOL..

i have to admit that i did got lost on the way specifically in Guadalape.. my friend told me to take the MRT up to there and ride a jeepney going to Makati Ave.. i literally spaced out when she said i have to look at something that would more likely go in the route of i-forgot-what-street-it-is.. so feeling defeated, i decided to take the taxi which i know is the most convenient way in getting out of being lost.. :D

i finally got to the place and surprised the array of korean groceries lined up all over the street and a bunch of korean restaurants surrounding the place.. i thought that's all i'm ever gonna see there until i saw this bookstore and coffee place just in front of where i left the taxi.. i went inside in the hope of finding something that would at least make my travel worthwhile.. the place looks like someone else's house full of books that you could read from there.. a living room setting with couches are set up in the middle to make it look more comfortable.. i looked around and i saw this shelf with all the CDs in it.. i was really in a shock when i found out those are kpop CDs and concert DVDs and i felt i smiled way too much just looking at all the collections they've got.. they seriously have all from Big Bang to DBSK, and the Wonder Girls to Lee Hyori.. if only i have a camera with me i could have taken a picture of that place for everyone to see.. i was feeling some kind of DBSK bias to the store because they have all their CDs and DVDs from Korea and Japan.. i even saw this CD case with DBSK in it.. maybe the owner is a fangirl?.. :)) it was so tempting to buy something from there if only i had more money with me.. i mean it's not all books and CDs there, they also have souvenir items and cute stuffs.. i wanted to go there again and promised myself that i would buy something na the next time i set foot to that store.. i swear, it has been my most favorite store ever since that day.. :)

but i can't go home without buying something korean-related so i went to the convenient store in front of it and bought these ice creams.. my friend also reminded me that i have to buy their ice cream if i went to a korean grocery.. unfortunately there's no red bean so i ended up buying this cocoa one..

my brother playfully mentioned that the flavor must be bear because it's in the package.. i remember Coffee Prince and Que Sera Sera when i look at these because i saw them eating one just like these.. it's like an ice cream in tube.. parang tunaw na siya sa picture but it's so yummy when it's frozen.. i wanted to buy more but this woman kept following me and asking what else i wanted to buy.. it's kind of annoying, really.. the funny thing about the store is that they're playing Tell Me over and over again.. wala lang i just noticed.. :)

two things that go together..

2008-11-06T17:58:00.000-08:00

so i needed an excuse to go inside a korean grocery.. hahaha whatever.. uh no, it's actually a convenience store pala pero ayun.. i've been eyeing these store for days because it's really near our place and i just wanted to experience what it feels like looking at items which i could not understand [i can read btw].. i thought i can find here that red bean ice cream my friend has been recommending me--which is, according to her, a must try.. UNFORTUNATELY, there aren't any ice creams of any kind inside.. that sucks big time.. so i ended up buying these three items [read: orange juice, coffee-in-can and onion rings].. i know, pathetic.. hahahaLOL.. =))

in other news: BIG BANG is back [well that definitely counts as a cliche in this blog].. after their Japan tour, they have finally come back to release their new FULL LENGTH album and just for kicks, i've downloaded all the tracks which doesn't hurt btw because i really wanted to listen to it first before buying my own.. oye, i am so gonna be buying my own na, hah!.. i'll be posting the MV for Sunset Glow in the next post na lang.. it's a recommended must-hear also with Oh, Ah, Oh, Foolish Love and Strong Baby [SeungRi's solo].. oh, and they also have an added bonus with the remix of Lies and Last Farewell and an acoustic version of Day By Day which is an epic win in so many levels.. =)

a bunch of hilarious nonsense..

"It's not bongjoo, it's bonzoo!" -Micky Yoochun [ROFL WTH?]

msksakdaknwiozcalmksasa -- this is me keysmashing [is that what it's called?] from too much LMAO.. :))

^^this is why i'm a big fan of YooSu pairings.. i love this guys so much.. this has got to be the most dorkiest [if by all means exaggerating] YooSu moment i have seen in the history of ever.. right from the very first part of the video up until the end, i'm giggling like crazy [LOL].. the best part for me though was when JunSu suddenly squealed "i just made first place" and then comes the infamous dorky, strange, adorable laugh--which i love btw.. what cute persons.. and thanks to them, i might not be able to get the "aux champs d'elysees" song out of my head in a long while.. mixed with a little bit of O-Jung.Ban.Hap to make it even more unforgettable..

and just so Micky knows, Junsu was right from the very beginning anyway.. hah!.. =))

they got me under their skin..

2008-10-08T20:20:00.000-07:00

i guess i'm too much of a newbie for this since i just considered listening to this group last week, i think.. and fortunately it's the Mirotic MV--which oozes with so much sexiness and eye candy by the way--that made me want to know them more.. DongBangShinKi/ TongVfangXinQi/ Tohoshinki or whatever [name diversification perhaps?] currently conquers my iTunes these days and they're definitely one of the reasons why i love kpop so much.. probably the hottest korean guys i've ever seen in my entire life [next to Big Bang of course which makes me sound like a total bias because Big Bang has to be first at EVERYTHING..LOL].. i remember when i first swooned over Big Bang in front of my friends, one of them made me watch an MV [Rising Sun] by DBSK and i said "Big Bang has nothing on them" and i didn't really liked them at first because i thought they looked so animated, hahaha.. i don't know that i have this thing about eating my own words sooner pala [read: crazy, greedy fangirl..LOL]..

i've listened to almost all of their songs na [still getting there] and i'm falling in love with every melody they make.. they have an exceptional voice quality that tells them apart from all the groups i've listened to [yes, even Big Bang].. they sing so damn good that i think it could pass as a perfect charmer for anybody who ever listen to and appreciate good music.. i've heard them live too and they're voice is just as hot as they look.. and they really do make me be all-out crazy about being a fangirl because i don't post just anybody i've listened to in this blog.. >.<

as part of tradition [LOL..i do say that a lot, do i?..], it's just proper to introduce them here because i'm really making it official that i fangirl A LOT about these boys.. and they're so overflowing with too much hotness so i felt the urge to share.. and for the benefit of those who drool about perfectly sculpted bodies and awesomely awesome charm.. =)

the first time i watched the Mirotic MV, i already have my eye glued on Kim Xiah JunSu.. three things i love about him: his laugh, his voice, and his dorkiness.. maybe he wasn't lying when he said he is in charge of the group's charisma [as opposed to what the other members say he isn't].. and what's super cute about him is the way he reacts when the other members somehow bully him playfully.. A-DORABLE.. he has the ability to make witty side comments which either makes the others burst out laughing or just be in total silence.. and when he sings, i swear i melt everytime i hear him.. you just have to love JunSu because of that.. he's just too cute for words..

Shim Max ChangMin is the youngest and apparently the tallest member of the group.. and he looks hot in the MV too.. and he's just my age!.. oh just look at that.. *grins* i just found out that he's one year older than me pala but it doesn't matter anyway, hahaha.. well actually Marian T. likes him and it's no surprise since she always picks the maknae unknowingly [first SeungRi, then ChangMin].. i think it's a gift, really.. his smile is just oh-my-gawd-i-think-i-died-and-went-to-heaven kind of sexy.. and he can belt out a high tone too.. what more can you ask for?..

there's definitely a big difference between hot and sexy and i think Jung U-know YunHo, the leader, has more on the latter.. i think it's the eyes.. there's just something in his eyes that makes me want to keep looking at him.. when he's talking, he gets all excited like a kid and when he's not, he got this tough look on his face that's sexy AND hot at the same time.. yeah that's definitely YunHo.. awesome, awesome package.. =P~

Park Micky YooChun is sexy in weird ways, hahaha.. i kinda liked him better with short hair though.. although his Mirotic hair is alright.. ye it's getting better from the first watch.. no it's actually cool now.. awesome voice too.. i'm a big fan of his singing since i've heard so many ballads with him totally bringing it.. and he speaks good english because he grew up in the States--an added trivia for those who didn't know.. one thing though, i smirk everytime he calls JaeJoong and YunHo hyungs because i so totally believe him to be the oldest in the group.. but it's okay since he's sexy like dut.. :))

i know this is weird but Kim Hero JaeJoong sorta kinda looks animated.. even though he has this 6-pack abs that can totally hypnotize innocent fangirls and make them drool like they've never drooled before.. in some angles, he looks like a girl.. but a very pretty one at that, hahaLOL.. he's like a pretty guy who i just don't get.. honestly, he's okay but i have to say he's not my style.. to make up, he's actually one of the voices i admire the most.. he's in the same level of my likeness to JunSu's.. he can definitely compete with that.. :)

the video above is their MV for Balloons way back when they were cute and innocent-looking like that.. okay not really but aren't they such cute dorks?.. totally my most favorite video of them to date.. they look so happy and everything that it takes me into being happy as well.. i love it!.. =)

more reasons to swoon..

2008-10-02T20:30:00.000-07:00

i would just like to say that my computer's internal memory is *gasp* about to go full because of all the kpop songs i've been downloading.. scary! [channeling Ms. Andaya].. but what am i to do since i think i favor kpop even more than any other songs out there.. it's growing in on me, i can feel it.. i have 95 na in fact and it's gonna grow even more, i know it.. :D

so Big Bang is gonna be on a hiatus for their Korean affairs to give way for their Japan chorva tour this October [i hate it that it has to be my birthday month] and they'll be coming back on November with a full korean album.. oye, now that i'm gonna hafta buy [saving starts now].. in the meantime, let me introduce you other reasons i'm swooning over kpop right now.. and yes, i'm still for Big Bang above all others.. :))

DBSK is totally my guilty pleasure this past days all thanks to this MV.. i think i'm cast under their spell--and i love it in so many levels.. i can't stop looking at JunSu [laser lights] and ChangMin [soaked in water?] especially when it's their turn.. i crush Jun Su so much i think he's the only one that makes me want to go crazy and just, i don't know, go crazy!.. total epic win whatever he does.. i think i'm loving him even more just writing about him.. pure hotness guaranteed.. i mean just look at them teasing us all with those clothes.. totally fangirl, drool-worthy material.. i got youuuuuuuu...under my skin.. =P~

i know you're gonna say i'm a total bias in this one and i'm totally gonna eat my words but Super Junior can be cute in so many ways too.. okay, specifically Super Junior Happy--you know, one of their subgroups.. now this i can appreciate since it's not like 13 of them singing at the same time which is kinda annoying because i can't catch up with each one on the first watch.. hah!.. SJH members have loads of comical antics that i find adorable and looking at their MVs prove them so much.. SungMin [first one to sing] and KangIn [blue coat] are definitely eye candies.. YeSung's [red pants] voice is heaven.. and ShinDong [chubby guy], EunHyuk [yellow jacket] and LeeTeuk [ponytail] are just fun to watch.. :]

another one of them eating my words moment: SHINee!.. i remembered hesitating to listen to them because i once saw this picture of them and they're totally giving away thet ghei vibe and i thought they're just gonna be one of those groups who'd do this cutesy-cutesy act while singing.. i love their choreography.. they're so hot i want each one of them in my pocket.. and they're young too which makes me older.. or maybe not because JongHyun [yellow tank top] is just the same age as me and he's the oldest in the group but it doesn't matter anyway because it's still the same, haha.. and he's cute too.. but i still have eyes for MinHo [blue tank top] and his pu-le-yi-ming ka-ri-su-ma.. ;)

odiba?.. and those are just some, haha.. grabe korean guys are so damn sexy talaga infairness.. =P~

i think i just turned claustrophobic..

2008-09-29T20:00:00.000-07:00

infairness ang mga tao sa MRT kapag rush hour.. it's like all hell broke loose.. grabe to the next level.. nagka trauma ata ako[?].. yun lang pow.. bow.. :))

even more Big Bang-ness..

2008-09-16T01:59:00.000-07:00

VERDICT:
TOP = 3
GD = 1
YB = 2
DS = 2
SR = 3

INSIGHTS:
okay so now i have two men leading the scores.. omg it's the two Seung Hyuns!.. hahaha didn't realize that until now.. but then again, Seung Ri's making me feel like he's one of my best guy friends and he obviously cares for me that much--or not really that much considering all those mocking i'd get from him, but ain't he cute?.. i always wonder why TOP's the serious one in these situations knowing that he is most known for his quirkiness and childlike antics [and we both love ice cream and glazed donuts which gained him an added point on the cuteness radar].. which i really wanted to see.. but it don't matter anyway because at least he made it on top.. and oh no, what happened to Young Bae?.. maybe the questions [or situations] are really not his style, i guess.. or maybe because i have to choose only one and his are those i might consider.. haha yeah maybe.. Dae Sung is slowly catching up making him tied with YB for the second spot.. i must say, he is growing in on me everytime i see him.. makes me want to hug him tightly and just go crazy.. and only one question got me to notice G-Dragon and that one, i think, is the most admirable thing to do considering i'd also do that to someone hitting on me [people, i'm speaking hypothetically here, haha]..

it's been 3 years..

2008-08-24T23:24:00.000-07:00

omg, you know what, i just realized, like JUST NOW, that this blog has been going on for 3 years!.. grabe i was a senior high school student pa lang non.. how time flies no?.. looking back on my old posts i remembered how ~~weird~~ awful i write back then pala.. hahaLOL.. with all that arte spelling going on like an uncivilized tween [sorry for the term].. so much has changed through that 3-year blogging process i can say na nagmature ako ng slight.. haha.. e kase naman compare my posts back then with my posts now parang ibang tao yung nagsulat kamusta naman yun.. pero ayun nga naalala ko lang.. so August 19 was the exact date i had my publishing debut and i only found out now so ayun, wala lang.. =))

i then thought of the things that happened to me within this outlet of mine that i call "my blog" and my posts both unforgettable and forgettable....

~~i had a detailed play by play pala of our senior outbound in Mt. Banahaw and all i could say about that is i had fun re-reading it as if it all happened just yesterday.. and how could i forget that ill-conceived bitch who pointed her nasty finger in front of my face.. saya!.. :)
~~that infamous "humiliated" post.. i think i regret even posting that one..
~~promise it's now getting on my nerve how stupid i write back then..
~~November 2006--when i started writing normal.. or at least close to normal [but there are still hints of stupidity].. i had this habit pa dati of including mobile text quotes and dividing them between the opening and the closing of the post.. i also had this idea of short-but-straightforward post titles para wala lang.. actually hindi ko talaga alam ang purpose ng pagganyan ko, hahaLOL.. =))
~~the petition frenzy that kept us busy for the 2nd semester of our sophomore year.. and add to that, my so-called encounters to those people i would like to call "the someones".. =)
~~i had these three blockmates pala dati that i detested to the maximum.. it seems that they're my frequent source of frustation in those days..
~~i found out astigmatism is not what i thought it is.. proves just how little i know about medical terms..
~~OMG CRUSH KO PALA DATI SI ORANGE CHICKEN?!.. o.O
~~i think my interest in kpop started here.. hahaha grabe while watching that i felt Because I'm A Girl is so vintage na pala.. at least i could understand a few hangul na there, hehe.. =)
~~also, i have a play by play of our 120206 mall bonding with some of my superfriends and the UST paskuhan 06 event--if some of you just wanted to check that out.. =)
~~i think this post is my first full-on serious emo-kind-of ranting about, uh, something?.. :))
~~and i think this is where i started being "serious" in blogging..
~~January 2007 pala was the longest page in my archives because it has 22 posts total making it the month with the most posts in it..
~~and oh yeah, i lost my T-Square and blogged about it.. =))
~~i have this post pala dedicated to Ederlyn and it's creeping me out because it looked like i was writing a serious article about it.. sheesh..
~~Tak Bisakah!.. i remembered how LSSed i am about that one.. i think it went for a whole month.. which is finally succeeded by Xtasi Xtano--our official party anthem of the month.. =))
~~then i attempted vlogging because i was inspired by HappySlip.. fortunately, i deleted that hideous video of me talking about whatever i talked about that time.. hah!.. :))
~~this is by chance the most farthest i have gone to ranting and raving about failures.. i think that's the time i needed to let all things out of my fucked up system..
~~i remember when i was writing this i have with me 3 papers with full colored drawings of my plate for my Anatomy 2 summer class and i didn't sleep because the day after that is going to be my first ever plane flight to Singapore..
~~this is probably my most favorite post in my entire blog.. i don't know why, i just loved its content despite it being bitter and all.. next would be this.. :)
~~oh and i had a review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows din pala..
~~line art!.. yay!~^^
~~the day i got my Starbucks Planner--which i rarely use [or rather not use at all].. o.O
~~i made this random facts just because i want my readers to know what kind of a person i am din behind this online world.. and i just want to prove a point..
~~my first ever record of me fangirling over kdramas.. and how i ended up doing this.. wiii~
~~DSLR!.. yay!~^^
~~probably my most interesting posts in the history of ever; this, this and this..
~~OMG MY FIRST BIG BANG POST.. and if you click the tag that says "Big Bang" on the end of this post, all my spazzing and fangirling about them will show.. ^^
~~i realized that i have had two re-openings/comebacks/hiatus enders/whatever you wanna call it and three header changes already..
~~and now this 3rd year anniversary post would be my 203rd post for this blog.. wiii~

so i guess that's it.. Happy 3rd Birthday na lang to my blog and i hope it will continue up until the 10th year.. haha, i was even surprised that my blog would last this long but now it did and i'm so proud of what this has become.. yay!~~^^

it just needs someone to take care of it..

2008-08-22T21:14:00.000-07:00

a cute shirt on monday, hip jeans on tuesday, a pretty blouse on wednesday, chic skirt on thursday, a stylish jacket on friday, fabulous flats on saturday and on sunday, of course, stilettos--will it be fiery red, or sexy black?..

i rode an MRT from Shaw Boulevard going North and all i could hear after every stop is that ad.. seriously can't they change it to something, i don't know, other than that?.. after every course i mean.. not that i despise it but it kinda sounds like a broken record if you know what i mean.. i could still hear it even going back.. sheesh.. --how 'bout both?

so ayun nga because of Karen, classes are suspended last Wednesday.. my class starts at 11am and i left home at the same time--because that's just me.. Karen is bitching outside with her tremendous rainpour pero ako go parin pumasok, hahayea.. as i was waiting for a ride, my dad called me informing me that classes are suspended.. fortunately, Kat texted me first inviting people to go to Trinoma.. i agreed and told my dad i won't be going home pa.. saya!.. so ayun nagkwento lang ako.. bow..

no but seriously this post is about the movie we watched there--and by we, i mean LoveLove, Marian T. and me because Kat and Celeen would be watching something else [read: A Very Special Love] [also read: WTF?!].. Wall-E is our film of choice because a.) i'm excited about the movie and b.) there's nothing else interesting.. i loved it actually besides it being an animated film with the lead character with lines limited only to "Wall-E" and "Eve"--if he said something else i probably had shook it off..

[forgive me for i'm about to go ramble now about possible spoilers] the opening scene seems to go vintage because of the song [i think it's from the musical Hello Dolly!] and the usual Pixar zooming in from the farthest possible place to the actual setting kind of sequence.. it has this I Am Legend feel to it so i wouldn't be surprised if a zombie would just pop out of nowhere.. at first, the movie seems to be, uh, quiet or specifically, Wall-E seems to be in silent mode.. i remember LoveLove ranting next to me about how she's gonna hate the film if she hadn't heard a dialogue sooner and i was like i doubt there'd be any lines at all.. it was like watching a Pixar featurette with all the animation minus the script.. then enter Eve who i, at first, thought would capture Wall-E and bring him to space until i found out that she was actually sent down to examine any living existence on earth and bring it to their mothership.. oh and for a brief background about why there's all this talk about space and ships, the earth in that time--700 years to be exact--was actually covered in garbage and the humans already migrated in a spaceship called the Axiom where they are supposed to live until the earth gets taken care of by robots tasked to clean all the mess.. i theorize that all the robots became technically dead and Wall-E was the last one living there [again, I Am Legend-ish].. so moving on, Eve is a robot with awesome guns--for shooting unwanted things, duh?.. so Wall-E saw her right?.. and he, like, fell in love at first sight for her which concluded me that that happens in machines din pala, LOL.. but how am i supposed to react to a robot, who i expect to be so immature and childish, liking intimately another machine who he met for the first time.. that's for watching to much Hello Dolly! reruns.. and i decided to cut the whole storytelling off here.. you just watch it for yourselves na lang, i don't want to be spoil you more and besides this post is too long na i wouldn't want to extend it any longer.. =)

i almost cried in this one, but then again crying is an impossible action so i would just have to let my heart do the task [yes ang drama].. it opened insights about the environment and taking care of the planet because you'll never know when robots would take over this place and we would be sent to space and we would also gain a massive amount of weight by eating meals in a cup.. i'm afraid of the mere thought of robots taking over humanity--it shivers me to the bones.. so ayan, after watching the movie, we would all have the initiative na to plant a tree and save the environment and now i'm talking about advocacies, FTW?.. the film [dare i say it?] has a lot of cute factors especially when they give you a full-on close-up of Wall-E's eyes that look like he's about to cry.. an added plus to that characters who saved the movie by being hated by LoveLove.. yes, there are lines too!.. but i just love how Wall-E say his name, it was like i want to have an exact clone of him with the exact voice and exact Wall-E-ness cuteness.. it would be so much better than a dog i'm telling you.. =)

currently listening to: Try Smiling - Dae Sung

another Big Bang meme..

2008-08-19T03:15:00.000-07:00

oh noes not again?!.. do i have Big Bang written all over my blog?.. no, seriously.. hahahaLOL what can i do, i love those boys and everything they are.. ch'yeah they're even the reason why i keep on delaying everything i'm supposed to do.. *i've been baddd but i don't care* wahahaha ok enough..

1.Allocate these categories to each member. ((Use Each Member Only Once))
~~aww really?.. this is gonna be so hard................

Best Voice: since i already consider TOP to be the sexiest member, i can't choose him for his dreamy rapping voice that i oh-so-love.. but when it comes to singing, Tae Yang definitely dominates.. his solo album proves that he can win it with his amazing vocals and i'll have to admit that i can't live a day without listening to it.. yes, i gawked.. hahaLOLz..

Best Hair: although i've mentioned a dozen times that i dislike long haired guys, Dae Sung is most definitely an exception.. Dae Sung's smexy hair paired with Dae Sung's infamous smexy smile--WIN!..

Best Dressed: when i see Big Bang perform, i never fail to notice G-Dragon's style.. that boy has his way of attracting attention through the way he looks.. i mean look at his hair now [but that's just another story].. i guess it helps having a sister with a clothing store.. but i have an argument though about this one with their Haru Haru MV.. why does he freaking have to look like a gurrl with the way he assembles the get-up?!.. seriously, it's still weirding me out.. o.O

Most talkative: Seung Ri.. that boy has serious word vomit issues.. =))

Sexiest member: TOP with his sexy voice and his sexy hair and the way he wears those sexy clothes and his sexy appeal, period..

==BASICS==

Favorite Member: Mr. Choi Seung Hyun..

Favorite Pairing: i don't know if there's such a TOP and Tae Yang pairing but if there's none THEN THERE HAS TO BE ONE!.. really.. >_<

==SONGS==

Favorite song: i have a LOT of Big Bang favorites so i can't just name one.. Haru Haru, Lies, Dirty Cash and Fool..

Catchiest Song: B to the I to the G, B to the A N G [fricky fricky] let's do it.. so get them hands up high.. we're gonna get'cha funkdafied..

Most Played On Your Playlist: yay Lies!.. with 135 plays.. =)

Favorite Solo Song: can i say Look Only At Me by Tae Yang, please?.. hurr, but if we're talking about amongst their album, i would definitely pick Trying To Smile by Dae Sung.. i'm in-love with the song!.. =)

Favorite Song (Feat. Another Artist): We Belong Together feat. Park Bom.. because Park Bom's parts are love~~Ü

Favorite Promotional Video [PV/MV]: Dirty Cash because it's laughably cute.. LOL?.. Tae Yang dressed as a woman is definitely the highlight of the MV and Seung Ri's so cute dressed as a banana! [is it a banana 'cuz it looked like it]..

==PERFORMANCES==

Favorite Performance: their debut performance in i think MBC Music Core is epic, no one or nothing even comes close.. the beginning of all beginnings.. XDD

Favorite Concert: uhrr i haven't really watched their concerts in all its entirety but i think i saw some parts of the GREAT Concert and i loved it.. X}

Favorite Concert Performance: GREAT Concert's Fool was really the best i've seen so far..

Favorite Song Performed Live: Last Farewell--fun fun fun!..

Favorite Solo Performance: Dong Young Bae!!.. basically just any song he would sing solo.. oye.. and also TOP's Big Boy on their The Real Concert.. *drools =P~

Favorite Performance (Feat. Another Artist): i don't know if this counts but i love their KBS Music Bank Special Stage with Epik High where they performed Shake It and Fan.. and because i still think Epik High are cool dorks and Tablo is kinda cute.. XDD

==SKITS/CHALLENGES/APPEARANCES==

Favorite Skit:
Coffee Prince parody is still the best.. it has hilarious written all over it.. Seung Ri totally caught me off-guard spoofing Han Yu Ju.. i swear i'm laughing like a total nutcase..

Favorite TV Appearance:
nothing in particular.. siguro KM Idol World?.. or their documentary [is it shown on TV ba?]..Ö

Favorite Promotion:
Baskin Robbins CFs.. i love their goof-off by the beach scene totally LOLed me.. :))

Favorite Photoshoot:
Stand Up album photoshoot because they look so hot that i can't even begin describing them in words..

==ALL AROUND==

1. How did you hear about Big Bang?
long story short: read this

2. What was the first thing you saw them in?
KBS Music Bank Special Stage - Big Bang and Wonder Girls performing Tell Me and Lies..

3. Which member caught your attention right away?
omo~ TOP with his red jacket and shades and the moment he said his part i swear i melted.. =P~

4. Has your favorite member ever changed?
yea most specifically because of TOP's hairstyle.. i'm afraid i kinda lost him when he had that long hair; i'm not really into long haired dudes.. and Tae Yang had just released his solo album which made him the only one to occupied my mind all day.. but i'm just glad he changed it back and spruced it up a bit to the hair that he has now--TOTAL OWNAGE!.. =))

5. What was it that sealed your love for them?
when i have this total fixation with Lies--i just felt that i got to hear all their songs.. i'm even blabbing much about Big Bang in school without me realizing it until my friends pointed out how much i'm addicted to them na pala.. =X

6. What’s the funniest/craziest thing you’ve ever seen them do?
i find it cute when they're playing around with each other on cam and they act like total dorks.. the documentary is a total haha for me because i've seen things that i would've never imagined in my normal life..

7. What type of car can you see each member owning?
hala i know nothing about cars pa naman..
siguro for TOP--something like those in James Bond flicks.. he WILL look awesomely sexy in those thingamajigs..
Tae Yang--a hummer-like kind of stuff.. but he would look so much cooler on a skateboard.. oye!..
Seung Ri--honestly, i can't choose one for him.. he'd be better off walking.. hahahaha just kidding.. probably the convertible one.. i imagined him being playful like a kid with that car.. haha cute~~
G-Dragon--something flashy that's so cool to show off.. haha totally GD-like..
Dae Sung--vintage all the way baby.. hah!.. =)

8. Which member would you never want to have driving while you’re in the car?
G-Dragon.. i'm afraid he would go psycho on me.. hahaLOL..

9. Which member would not surprise you if you found them reading porn?
ay nge?.. PASS!.. =))

10. Do you think Big Bang is going to take an Artist of the Year award for 2008?
i really, really hope so to the highest heavens.. they definitely deserve one since last year pa kamusta naman.. but i'm afraid this is going to be a tough fight since DBSK is set to have their comeback this year as well.. oh no wag po.. o.O

ay it's 3am na pala [oh no~] and i haven't finished my *late* plate pa and i'm getting TOO sleepy to continue.. Must. Resist. Sleep.............. sana matapos na to please.. horhor.. >_<

THIS IS NOT A BIG BANG POST..

nge?.. hahaha kamusta naman kase ang Big Bang spazzing ko this past few weeks?.. i still am today pero i thought of shifting muna kasi i wanted to share something that's been occupying my mind lately.. oo ganun talaga shit kasi siya and all the stuff he's doing to me.. i mean really, how can i detest someone who i have thought of wanting to know deeper?.. shit the feeling no, makes you want to throw up?.. hahahaha at oo ang kumontra ulet susunugin ko ng buhay at ikakalat ko ang abo sa Manila Bay.. ayun lang pow bow.. =))

and i don't want it to look obvious.. haha.. X)

The Way He Makes Me Feel
Barbra Streisand [..LOL]

There's no chill and yet I shiver
There's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
And yet I'm trembling
There's no storm yet I hear thunder
And I'm breathless why I wonder
Weak one moment then the next I'm fine

I feel as if I'm falling
Every time I close my eyes
And flowing through my body
Is a river of surprise
Feelings are awakening
I hardly recognize as mine

What are all these new sensations
What's the secret they reveal
I'm not sure I understand
But I like the way I feel

Why is it that every time
I close my eyes he's there
The water shining on his skin,
The sunlight in his hair
And all the while I'm thinking things
That I can't wait to share with him

I'm a bundle of confusion
Yet it has a strange appeal
Did it all begin with him
And the way he makes me feel
I like the way he makes me feel, he makes me feel,
I like the way, I like the way he makes me feel.

the wait is over..

2008-08-08T14:51:00.000-07:00

how much Big Bang spazzings can i handle?.. =))

omg 08-08-08~!.. Big Bang's Stand Up mini album is out now and i'm really so absolutely spazzing about it and yeah i've been waiting all day for the release of their new single.. and now i don't have to wait no more because, OH MY OH, i just saw their MV for Haru Haru [Day by Day] and i am completely speechless as in my jaw dropped and i'm having goosebumps all over.. LOL.. no but seriously i love how it amazes me and i love how it made me want to watch and listen to it over and over again..

okay so thoughts about the MV; i could say it's sad.. ya especially the last part in the hospital i think my heart just broke down [awww].. and the fighting scene where TOP and G-Dragon are like, uh, fighting[?] and the other 3 are just pulling them apart is so VOLCANIC.. grabe i fell in love with TOP nanaman because of this.. he should definitely keep that style and he's mine forever.. hahahahaLOL.. and GD is sooo weirding me out in this [sorry naman sa super GD fans out there].. if you noticed in the second verse where he's wearing that i-don't-know-if-it's-a-headband-or-what-kind-of-thing, he kinda looks like a girl.. but it's cute though, it's just weirding me out.. LOL.. and they are all wearing eyeliners which is cool because i think they want to get that spunky fierce look and they pulled it off super well.. ok so anyway, i'm not sure what's going on in the whole MV but i think the girl is G-Dragon's girlfriend and she's like breaking up with him with the help of TOP because she has terminal illness [cancer perhaps?] and she doesn't tell GD because it's gonna break his soul if he knew and then she dies in the end.. ya it was so sad and intense at the same time i mean just look at GD going all crazy and stuff you could tell he was SO into it.. okay i wanted to cry but unfortunately i can't so my heart's just gonna do that for me.. hahahaLOL.. ~~now i have to wait for the translations so i could have a proper understanding about the song~~.. looking at the translations makes me more sad.. this is gonna be like Lies over again, it kinda reminds me of the MV.. =)

and by the by, i downloaded the whole album and i've been listening to it for, like, the 5th time now [i know because it only has 6 songs] and i'm loving all of them.. of course Haru Haru is a favorite but Heaven and A Good Man are recommended must-hears.. i love it~!..Ü

current mood: ecstatic
currently listening to: Big Bang Stand Up album.. as in all of 'em.. =)

VERDICT:
Choi Seung Hyun = 7
Kwon Ji Yong = 4
Dong Young Bae = 9
Kang Dae Sung = 4
Lee Seung Hyun = 7

INSIGHTS:
yay!.. i was actually hoping Tae Yang would dominate and he did which makes me laugh because looking at the scenes situated with him kinda reminds me of someone i know.. haha strange.. he IS definitely boyfriend material [yeah in a normal reality].. and amazingly, TOP and Seung Ri came in next with the same scores.. i love how TOP can be a manly man yet be so sweet at the same time.. but i think he's stereotypical though.. the kind which is the embodiment of every conservative girl's fantasies and aspirations.. and i swear Seung Ri has the cutest scenes ever and although for me, he doesn't qualify as a boyfriend but he can pass up as a cute dongsaeng.. A-DORABLE [<3].. and G-Dragon and Dae Sung could be your guy best friends you just love [and proud] to have.. i love having them both at the same time..Ü

pero dibale kasi i'd just do whatever just to have that shirt.. wahahaha..

how not to piss me off..

2008-07-24T22:53:00.000-07:00

"Dude, wag m na masyado isipin dun sa nangyari.. Pbayaan mo cya 2mawag, pbayaan mo cya maghabol bwahahahaha, let it go pag d p u handa makipagusap.. There will come a time na maguusap din kau to clear things out again Ö,"

lovet!.. if you really choose to be sentimental in school, you really have to talk to Celeen.. i mean she has the best ears i ever have spoken to and she has this appropriate sense of humor that it's never an offense [unlike some i know who tries to be funny but ends up making it the other way around].. that's why we always have those stupidly laughable inside jokes everytime we talk.. =)

so anyway, shifting into the not-so-mushy side of life but to the oh-so-pitiful [is there really a difference] portion of my existence, i've recognized that i've been quite running the i'm pissed off record in my brain and i'm having the last song syndrome.. maybe that's why i see things in that perspective?.. or maybe that's just the way it is?.. ya i believe in that option.. and i'm really not the one you want to piss off because i really get so bitchy when this happens.. i'm a guy with a whole lot of respect for my being but when somebody had crossed the line then it's best to put my virtue to rest and it's time to draw the last straw.. [ay parang banta lang?.. hahaha..] i don't want that to happen and neither do you so for the benefit of everyone, i have made up a list on how NOT to piss me off.. DISCLAIMER: this is only partial and does not have the intention to be complete.. and everything is based from experience.. have a nice read.. =)

--don't make me believe that what i see is what i get.. in my book, they don't.. then why do i [almost] believe in them?.. simple.. it's pleasing to the ears.. period..

--don't point out your existence after some unknown jurassic years and reciting the "you've changed na" monologue on me just because you caught me in a bad mood making me into an even more grumpish being..

--don't feel like you don't need to be mindful of things not belonging to you just because my dad pays for your tuition and he's letting you stay in our house.. ginawa mo pang utang na loob namin ang pagtira sayo sa bahay.. shitty..

--don't act immaturely in an inappropriate way.. by some, that could be classified as cuteness sans the inappropriate-ness but to people who don't have a sense of innocence to them should just stick into reading books [or doing plates] and not their "stupidity"..

--having said that, don't also try to baby talk if it doesn't suit your personality, or your face.. =)

--don't butt in to other people's conversations.. this is a must not.. chances are, we might be talking about you.. *smirks*

--don't feel too assured of your appearance everytime someone passed their glance at you.. don't feel like everyone likes you because you're given the pet name as "crush ng bayan" and you're too proud to let everyone know.. don't go walking around as if you are the most known person around the place, even if your groupies say you are.. in short, don't be a 3-in-1..

--don't patronize discrimination in any kind of way.. it only makes you fake talking to me..

--don't overdo your comic ability to the point of disregarding fact and fiction and making it your own.. oh, and don't try to act like you know everything..

--don't give me an excuse of professionalism or talk to me about how things are supposed to be done even though we both understand that it's not really the way the world revolves.. the way you do your work gives me a point of view of how you were living your life in your time; bitter and selfish.. or maybe you shouldn't have failed me in the first place..Ö

--and don't talk about Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu infront of my face.. i mean really, are you effing kidding me?.. seeing them is already enough to ruin my day yet you try to double-kill it by feeding my ears with useless ramblings.. arrgh and arrgh some more..

i hope i have made my point from there.. and i do hope that you know what not to do when you're around me [else you hated me too] or at least try to avoid when i'm near.. i know i'm sounding too demanding but i really just wanted to have a worry-free life where everything just goes the way you planned.. and i also know that i'm too young to be mindful of things that could make older people stressful.. hehe..

lovey dovey kiss kiss..

2008-07-23T23:59:00.000-07:00

i've been sitting here for two hours straight staring at my monitor trying to form a poem that would at least make sense.. i think i'm completely blacked out because of this no sleeping thing.. and something that makes me awake and laughing at this time of day is Epik High's version of Lies.. they're such dorks.. =) okay so anyway, what i'm supposed to do for our art appreciation assignment is to compose a poem using Fragonard's painting, The Stolen Kiss [image below], as inspiration.. and we have to make our own title but it has to have the word 'kiss' on it.. grabe i can't believe i'm having a hard time doing this kind of stuff now when i remember i have written so many damn poems in my high school years.. oye maybe because they're all melodramatic thoughts and whatnots.. and no, i'm not emo ok?.. ew?..

so this is what i have for two hours.. i know it's crappy but.......

The Kiss He Missed

There she is with her long golden hair,
her face is innocent as a child.
There he was standing by the door.
He watched her carefully, not making any sound.

He grabbed her and took her by surprise.
She just stood there startled.
But in her eyes you'd see beyond doubt;
the pleasure that's carefully muffled.

But it wasn't just a kiss, no sir.
There's more to it than that.
For it was a longing gesture, a memento
of the kiss he missed so bad.

ya i really need some sleep.. X_X

Big Bang is back..

9. How do u know when ur inlove?
- [taken from kimcheeze's blog]

Dal Ja: How can you tell?
How can you say if it’s love or not, how can you tell?
Just because your heart beats fast doesn’t mean its love.
Just because you miss the person doesn’t mean its love.
There’s no such person who draws a line and says, “This is where love starts”
It’s not like that.
So, how can you say if it’s love or not?

Seon Joo: Because of that person, does your heart feel unbearably happy?
Because of that person do you feel hurt and weak?
Because of that person, do you feel so alone?
...Then, it has already started.

2008-07-09T23:32:00.000-07:00

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

so i ended up in Wordle when i'm googling infos on Ka Ya restaurant.. strange.. but anyways, it was so worth the frustration because i had fun looking at those words form themselves in a group.. never mind Ka Ya for i could always go there naman whenever.. haha.. so basically it's like a give-me-a-bunch-of-words-and-i'll-arrange-them-for-you kind of thingy and i swear it's so cute that i might be addicted to it [wag naman sana].. and my Big Bang post is coming out of the first page na so i used the text from there.. =)

okay fine so ang chaka na nga ng kulay.. =))

i am so being a perfectionist in this one because i wanted 'Big' and 'Bang' and 'Tae' and 'Yang' to go close to each other so that they could be understandable.. i just realized lang kasi na ang pangit naman kung nag-iisa lang yung 'Tae' na nagmamalaki dun diba?.. pero i ended up choosing this one kasi wala lang.. haha weird.. =))

i recognized that 'just' is my dominating[?] word in that wordle so i have this urge to count how many i could find.. there are 12.. do i really use that word a lot?..

i realized na it includes my 9-word description for TOP's voice which made it the longest line there.. pero it's small nga lang so i doubt if it's readable.. and i bet you can't find 'uh'.. hahaha.. =))

you should try this as well.. wala lang.. pampalipas oras lang.. i love it..Ü

i have pet peeves too.. [friendster edition]

2008-07-04T21:13:00.000-07:00

so medyo mag iba naman tayo ng mood for this post.. medyo magpakacharby muna tayo kasi hindi natin kelangang umemote everyday.. hahaha.. i've been thinking about this post for a while kasi nga super mainstream na ang friendster at kung sinu-sino na lang ang kumakarir nito.. and by karir, i mean todo super over extra exaggerated na nagmumukhang mas mahalaga pa sa buhay nila yun.. i don't open it regularly na nga eh because i'm more focused on this blog.. at least sa pagbablog may nakikita akong mas favorable na outcome kesa magfriendster at tumitig sa iba't-ibang profiles for 10 hours a day.. kasi nga hindi naman talaga masama mag friendster.. personal space mo nga kasi yan eh.. meron din naman ako niyan eh.. what pisses me off [and pissed off is a technical term] is the way some people use it.. so i made up a list of things i don't like about anything that's friendster related.. hindi patama sa ibang tao pero i'm just pointing out my reasons.. actually hindi ko alam kung pano ko siya sisimulan eh so in no particular order na lang siya.. haha..

...hindi ko siya ma-explain pero madalas akong nakakakita ng ganito sa comments.. yun bang akala mo foreign language ang binabasa mo dahil sa arrangement of letters na mukhang puro sounds like na lang.. basta ang hirap i-explain.. yung may excessive use of H na sinisingit in every syllable.. fharang ghanito nlan sha mhagshulat cashi acala nea cute na sha.. shet dude ang hirap.. haha.. isama mo pa ang alternating of big and small caps.. circus na ito sa kabonggahan ng gusto niyang palabasin.. kairita lang kasi mahirap lang magbasa ng ganitong comment.. sorry naman sa mga nagbibigay sakin ng ganito na hindi ko ina-approve.. sabi nga ni eyvril lavahn; "why do you have to go and make things so complicated?".. hahaha.. =)

....okay so counted na rin ang mga bling bling all around na nasilaw na lang ako sa kakatingin.. yun bang mga glitter graphics na kabaklaan ang level kasi mga nagsusumigaw na kung anu-ano ang gustong i-portray.. para nga daw mas may dating yung comment mo.. hahaha.. basta hindi ko lang sila ma-appreciate ng mabuti..

...mga nagsusumigaw na background sa profile.. i know a lot of my closest friends have this kind of 'extravagance' when they want to express themselves.. pero sa taas ng extravagance level nila hindi na nabasa yung contents ng profile nila.. kelangan mo pang i-select all para ma decipher ang hidden code..

...yung mga nang-iinvite ng friend requests pero ni minsan sa buhay mo ay hindi mo pa nakikita ang katauhan niya.. mga feeling close kumbaga kasi sila yung add na lang ng add kahit hindi naman nila kilala madagdagan lang ang friends list nila.. eto pa yung isang nakakairita sa lahat eh.. proud na proud pa siyang 2000+ na ang friends niya [pwede na ba yon?] pero majority dun hindi naman niya kilala.. popularity na ba matatawag mo don?.. over achievers na naman ata sila sa ganitong level.. tapos sila pa yung tipong sa lahat ng message or comments or whatever na susulatan around the world wide web, laging may kasunod na 'add me up please [enter e-mail address here]'.. i swear may nakita ako dati sa imeem.com na super nanggagalaiti na sa galit yung comment niya nakuha pa niyang magsingit ng 'please add me up' sa dulo.. try to imagine na lang.. nakakatawa na nakakainis lang..

...yung mga nagpopost ng pictures na pare-pareho ang pose.. naiba lang siguro yung posisyon ng eyelids nila.. kainis.. waste of space masyado.. kaloka..

...bulletin board flooders.. oo dati kasi akong ganyan eh.. ina-advertise ko yung blog ko non.. hahahaha.. but i've stopped doing that.. hindi siya fulfilling.. promise.. hahaha.. =))

so ayun lang naman.. konti lang naman siya.. sige kung ganyan ka bahala ka.. basta hindi ko na lang titignan profile mo.. hahahaha.. ÖÜÖÜ

this is not me..

2008-07-01T23:50:00.000-07:00

i've been thinking about that person who's always on top of the class, is friends with almost everyone in school, practically responsible about schoolwork, a bit hard-headed but knows how to put it well and that person who always has a direction in life..

i've been living that kind of life in my high school years.. i'm a happy-go-lucky person because i know i can do anything but still remain on the surface.. big regrets did not exist back then.. all i worry about is making the grade.. so basically i was that guy who made it through high school without anything lagging him behind..

i now miss that person a lot.. it's like he won't be coming back again for long.. if he would see me now he would probably be enraged with fury because he might think that all those years just came to waste.. he probably won't even acknowledge me by then.. haha..

no but seriously speaking, i've been thinking a lot about how i've changed from that kid who laughs at people who gets delayed a year down their level to that person who actually becomes one.. i know, pathetic.. i have been carrying this burden for almost a year now and i always dreaded how i did not tried doing well.. i've been wishing everytime that i would go back to once it was and correct that stupid mistake.. that simple stupid mistake that is so avoidable but i insisted doing anyways.. how i hate myself every waking day of my life because of that..

i'm so miserable that i ended up posting this here.. i must've been fed up already because i see my classmates doing what i'm supposed to be doing now, that i'm supposed to relate to them about work and yet i just stare blankly with them expecting nothing from me.. but sorry, i don't need someone to symphatize me.. i just need someone to understand how i feel about that.. just understand..

shit ang emo ng post nato.. sorry naman hindi kasi ako yung tipo ng taong naglalabas ng saloobin personally.. i really prefer to blog about it than speak up.. kasi nga this is not me.. i hope i return sooner na because i really miss myself so bad.. i hope it comes.. =(

i'm in love..

2008-06-30T23:59:00.000-07:00

..no, not with that cute guy but with his glasses.. omg i so need to have one like that na, now na.. i've been looking for one for ages.. too bad tiangges don't have them yet [yeah, i'd settle for cheap knockoffs because that's me].. i even checked some optical shops but they don't have one with large frames which i think is strange.. i saw this on chuvaness' blog..

odiba they look cute naman.. i love the yellow frame, nagsusumigaw siya.. =)

just because i'm a Big Bang fan..

2008-06-28T23:03:00.000-07:00

omg you should totally watch this.. definitely ROFLMAO.. they have done a hilarious parody of Coffee Prince that i couldn't stop laughing.. really.. i love it.. =))

TOP looks so hot.. and Seung Ri!.. hahaha.. oh my..

book review: vince's life

2008-06-24T23:59:00.000-07:00

author: Vince O. Teves

synopsis: From the pages of Seventeen magazine comes the book that chronicles real college life: making the grade, forming friendships that will last the rest of your lives, charting your future, and falling in love possibly for the first time. For regular guy, Vince Teves, every significant experience during the four years that would shape the rest of his life was worth remembering. This is his story.

what i really, really love about this book is its honesty all throughout.. there really is never a dull moment about everything because the story is very realistic that you can actually relate it to you own life.. of course it's a true story about one guy's life and love although the characters, as the author says, are fictional.. i can actually connect to the characters instantly because they are so modern [yeah because this is made for a magazine] and genuine..

the story of Vince's four years in college revolves around his friends, his course and most especially his bestfriend-turned-girlfriend, Andrea.. it shows how it is to live as a guy with too many things occupying his mind.. it gives you a sharp eye about the points of view of a man towards falling in love and struggling for love.. it is so true that it is practically what your friends in school might gossip to you about.. like you actually know what's going on.. it resembles to most college students' life [particularly mine =)] and what it's all about.. and as Maya Calica would put it; 'He'll make you laugh, cry, feel senti [and] fall in love.'

this is definitely a good read most especially to guys who are really a hopeless romantic inside.. and also to girls who would most likely think all men are the same.. take it from this book, they're not.. whoever who wants to experience falling in love for the first time, you have to read this.. i love it.. =)

a message to the queen bitch..

2008-06-20T22:53:00.000-07:00

shit ka..

i didn't know what i have done that extremely disgusts you but i know you do.. i hope na lang na you'd have to keep it to yourself and not do anything else gruelling.. everytime lang kasi na you'll pass me by it's as if all hell would break loose.. i could totally see your eyes firing up.. it's like you're telepathically shouting stupid things in your head and calculating every move i make.. gosh really you scare me some times.. i didn't even have an idea why you're like that in the first place.. i don't even know you for all that's worth.. all i know is kaklase mo nga sila.. and fuck that if that has something to do with why you're like that then you are really a pathetic person.. i could totally hear you saying god-knows-what to your peeps.. i couldn't even care less.. but please, just please, stop that thing whatever you do.. i'm annoyed na kasi for the nth time everytime i see you like that..

so what nga kung kaklase mo sila.. so what naman if i'm pissed of at them.. does that have something to do with you too?.. so feeling mo kasali ka na don.. sino ka naman para maki-affiliate sa ganung bagay diba?.. eto na lang para sayo, i have moved on na so why can't you? [as if naman that has something to do with you]..

Big Bang rocks my socks..

2008-06-19T23:40:00.000-07:00

ahahahahaha.. san ko nga ba nakita yang statement na yan?.. a basta..

seriously, Big Bang is so HOT that i can't even begin telling you how much i love them.. they are extremely volcanic and i'm not just exaggerating.. it only came across my mind just recently that they are most likely the ones i could listen to all day.. even though i admit there are parts that i could not understand.. hehee.. but that doesn't matter because i could always have it translated by searching through Google.. oye..

so anyway, i first came upon this hot group [gahd, i couldn't even stop describing them as hot] only last month just because of Wonder Girls' Tell Me.. i know, right?.. there's this video in YouTube that features them dancing and singing together in one stage.. and they even performed each of their singles.. could you imagine how awesome that is?.. haha.. so lo and behold, Big Bang's Lies caught me totally off guard that i felt i hafta look for that one too.. and the rest, as they say, is history [ahh, the cliche].. =)

the other thing that's so making me fangirly about this group is its super eye-candy-material members.. yung tipong tinitilian ng todo as in to the maximum level of all levels.. i swear i am getting googly-eyed whenever i see them [sa pictures nubeh].. ever.. try ko kayang isa-isahin sila dito.. Cesca, Celeen and Marian T., this is for you [for us pala].. haha.. =)

this is in order of who i like best ha.. pero i am not biased.. may iba-ibang level of likeness lang talaga.. gumaganon..

Choi Seung Hyun or most popularly known as T.O.P.. this is most definitely because of his eyes.. and if you know me, you probably have this idea that i could easily fall for a guy through his eyes.. like this one time when i saw this guy........and i'm totally going off-topic na.. so anyway, i'd admit that there's a bit of erraticism [is that even a word?] in liking him because sometimes he just looks like a dork.. but oftentimes he looks hot.. i don't know maybe because of his hair.. pero his voice is super i-could-just-listen-to-him-rapping-all-day kind of awesome.. it has this hint of deepness that when i listen to it i feel i am hypnotized.. but in a good way.. =)

Tae Yang, Tae Yang, Tae Yang.. how hot really is Tae Yang?.. let me just ask Celeen.. haha, just kidding.. but seriously, that guy's got the bod, man.. the one that triggers excessive drooling.. hahaha.. and he's got the face AND the voice to match.. his smile kinda makes me melt.. hahaha.. he's like an angel from heaven sent on earth to fulfill every fangirl's fantasies [and obviously i'm fantasizing, again].. he even has a solo album which i'm looking forward to listen to.. actually i have in my player one of his songs, Only Look At Me, and it's qualified for last song syndrome-ness.. so hot yet so cool.. =)

Lee Seung Hyun or Seung Ri is pretty much your typical boy-next-door kind of guy.. he is, let's just say, too cute for his looks.. he is adorable to look at.. like your adorable younger brother who always makes you smile.. hahaha.. gosh, i'm making him look TOO young.. actually he's 16 pa lang e so whatever.. oh, and Marian T. has a crush on him [y'know, our baby in the group] and that's just so cute.. actually i kind of like him too but i'm sorry, i'm gonna hafta to place him third.. just because.. =)

Kwon Ji Yong or G-Dragon for ya'll out there.. Yong means dragon pala e that's why.. hahaha trivia lang.. so anyway, he's cute naman e pero there's this strangeness in him that makes me want to place him fourth [sorry girls].. maybe primarily because of their video for Lies.. he's just, i don't know, surreal? [uh, yeah?].. and he kind of reminds me of Chito Miranda of Parokya ni Edgar in that video so, there.. but infairness to him he looks so good with his hair down.. like he's so disente na.. hahaha.. =)

and finally, last but not definitely least, Kang Dae Sung or D-Lite?.. but i really prefer Dae Sung e.. hahaha.. okay so this guy's got the voice.. i love it, i swear.. but he's got the least appeal to me physically.. not that he's panget naman e, mind you there is no panget in Big Bang.. hahaha.. it's just that the other guys got to me first, ya that's it na lang.. and i love his smile.. bumabawi naman dun.. hehe.. =)

did you know that while i was writing this draft, i'm listening to Big Bang and Tae Yang songs continously?.. paulit-ulit lang.. inspiration?.. hahaha.. e i love them ee.. oo, to the maximum level of all levels!.. gosh you.. =))

and by the by, the video above is their orchestral rendition of their song Lies, which G-Dragon wrote [just a bit of a side trivia lang].. i chose that because they all look incredibly, magnificently HOT.. and T.O.P!!.. oh the eyes.. i think i am melting.. and i apologize for the screams.. it's live, they love it, just deal with it.. o.O

minesweeper is....

2008-06-17T22:22:00.000-07:00

...EXTREMELY ADDICTING!
=)

how i became a fangirl..

2008-06-13T22:43:00.000-07:00

eh since napapa-over to the moon na naman ang pag fa-fangirl ko about almost anything korean, why not enumerate the methods on how i became one.. yes naman magfi-feeling Confucius na naman ako sa post nato.. eh eto lang kase unang pumasok sa isip ko when i ask myself 'ano bang pwedeng i-blog today?' tapos super naaliw lang ako sa pagbabasa ng mga kagaguhang posts.. amusement galores leading to inspiring thoughts.. yes may ganon.. haha..

1.) i watched tons of kdramas nang walang katapusan.. and not just watch, identify pa.. yun bang tipong which is new, which is maganda and which is panapon lang.. dyan nagsisimula lahat.. kasi pag adik ka na everything else follows.. amen.. =)

research.. i Googled all the shows i've watched and looked for more info about them.. i looked for sources of other kdramas.. this site has been a big help for me since it has almost everything i need to know about that.. dun na nga din ako kumukuha ng recommendations kung anong shows ang magandang panoorin kasi i found out we share the same tastes in kdramas.. the internet is super universal kaya tanga ka na lang pag wala ka pang makuha.. haha..

2.) i know the shows na kaya knowing the actors comes next.. this is the most interesting part because it's like i'm having the first-day-of-school experience.. yun nga lang hindi intimately ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanila [hiyes gumanon bigla].. kasi ang saya lang ng manonood ka ng other kdramas out there tapos mapapasigaw ka na lang ng 'kilala ko siya.. i have seen him/her somewhere' tapos kung anu-ano na yung mga binanggit mo na na-nosebleed na lang yung katabi mo..

of course you also have to know about their world of showbiz para alam mo din what's going on and who's who and stuff like that..

3.) i studied hangul.. as in 'how to read and write' ang drama ko ng mga days na yon.. i have mentioned here na i'm studying for the sake of it lang.. hindi ko naman balak maging translator ng mga talk shows, news reports, eli soriano events at kung anu-ano pang shows meron diyan sa universe.. natuwa lang ako kasi ang cute ng mga characters nila yun bang tipong pwede mong i-vandalize sa mga pader ng Metro Manila at aakalain ng mga taong MMDA Art parin yon.. bongga!.. =)

4.) i harvested their soundtracks online.. oye i can sing to their songs [but not really following the lyrics].. syempre kasama na din dyan ang pagsearch ng song lyrics and translations para hindi ako O.P. to myself.. syempre pati kpop included sa package na ito.. as of right now, i have 30 32 kdrama soundtracks and kpop tracks on my player.. i know, ang konti.. haha..

i love Big Bang [yes may special mention!] because of their songs [at syempre fangirl din ako ng group na ito].. at ang Tell Me dance ng Wondergirls, kamusta naman at naisasayaw ko naman siya ng mabuti.. hyown lang pow.. =)

5.) food!.. eto precaution lang kasi pag manonood ka ng kdramas you would notice na they always eat.. and not just eat, feast na ito sa dami ng pwede nilang kainin sa isang episode.. mapapalunok ka na lang pag pinapanood mo sila to the extent na kelangan mo ding matikman yon.. hindi enough ang jjampong kasi hindi counted yon.. haha.. [natikman ko na pala yung jajjangmyun at masarap nga siya.. no wonder Dal Ja and Eun Chan are such fans..]

6.) eto sa pangarap pa lang nabuo; travel to Korea.. yun na siguro ang ultimate fangirling experience na makakamit ko sa buong buhay ko.. i could be the most excited person you'll ever meet.. ever.. para ko na ring nakausap si Oprah sa ganitong level.. =)

super tried and tested na tong method na to kaya ewan ko na lang kung hindi pa umepekto yan sa ibang tao sa number one pa lang.. this is what i have been doing all summer kaya i could say na naging progressive naman ako nung bakasyon.. i don't know na lang what would happen if this fangirling could go to the next level.. continuous pa naman kasi ako sa mga pinaggagagawa ko dito.. eh ayun e, i find comfort in doing these e.. maybe i could say that just this could be enough to make me smile.. =)

nagkaroon ka na ba ng 'wala lang' moment?..

2008-06-11T22:27:00.000-07:00

singit lang.. i am currently loving, as in loving, Big Bang's Lie.. as in forever na siyang paulit-ulit sa player ko.. promise.. tapos kinakanta ko pa siya sa school kanina.. ganung level ako natuwa sa kantang to.. oye.. =)

so anyhoo, first day of classes kase.. syempre makikita ko na naman siya.. eto honestly may point na hinanap ko siya pagdating ko agad ng school.. sa dami ng tao na nandon, siya yung wala.. tapos makikita ko na lang siya bigla sa tapat ng beato.. ganun pa rin.. as in sa tingin ko wala namang nagbago sa kanya.. kung ano siya nung huli kong nakita, yun parin kanina.. tapos ako naman gulat kunwari.. eh kasi ba naman pagtalikod ko siya agad bumulatlat sa harapan ko.. feeling naman niya.. hahaha may ganon?.. pero wala lang talaga.. as in wala lang moment ang drama ng araw na ito.. nandun siya, nakita ko siya, wala lang.. nakita niya rin ako, wala lang.. hindi ko na lang siya masyadong inintindi at nagpakasaya na lang ako with my superfriends.. ayoko na kasing ipakita na siya parin.. gets?.. ayoko na kasi.. parang i've learned not to be too affected by his presence.. pero still there are times na naco-conscious yung mind ko about what to think or what to do kaya lang it's not like before na super na-consume ako dahil dun.. oh well, yun lang yun..

wala lang.. ang drama lang.. at kamusta naman parang ngayon lang ulet ako nagtagalog sa blog nato.. wala lang kase.. =))

taking a break from fangirling..

2008-06-08T22:40:00.000-07:00

although i miss my super lovely superfriends a bunch, i am still reluctant to go to school.. it's not because i am so used to being a bum, believe me i have been so much of a bum that i'm willing to go anywhere just to escape from it.. but school is really not on top my list.. not that i hate school, i beg to differ, but the only thing i don't like are responsibilities.. i know, i'm so crappy.. it just makes my head hurt, and when it hurts i become more crappy.. like i'm mad at everything.. like i hate every single thing that i see.. haha, over?.. pero yun nga, you get the drill.. so anyway, what i'm really trying to say is that i don't want to have classes but i still want to go to school for the sake of my bitches.. confused?.. and since Tuesday is the supposedly scheduled day for the start of classes, i won't be showing for the following reasons: a.) i don't want to start my academic year being an irregular student and b.) i'm gonna say this again that my sole purpose [for now] to be actually going to school is to see my superfriends.. ang taray parang ayaw nang mag-aral?.. haha, di naman.. reluctant pa lang talaga ako masyado.. =)) yun lang pow.. bow..

it's like falling in love again..

2008-06-01T23:34:00.000-07:00

"...If your legs are tired, you stop. If you can’t walk, you sit down. If you sit down, someone might come to hold you up. That’s how we live.”
-Sohn Il Gun

oh Who Are You, how you made me laugh with your witty banter and humor.. you even made me cry with your tear-jerking moments, which is so not usually me.. how you made me be inspired about life and love.. how you made me smile just by thinking about just even small thoughts opened up.. i truly appreciate you making me feel so inspired like this in such a long while.. you're like a breath of fresh air.. and with that, i'll always remember everything you showed me.. =)

remember what i said about being connected/caught up with the emotions as an important part in appreciating a well-made drama?.. i'm gonna say again that this is what i felt when i watched Who Are You.. the only difference is, it stayed even after you've watched the final episode in a week.. a good drama, for me, gots to have heart.. and this one has lots of it.. it's not mushy in a boring kind of way.. it's emotional with an inspiring note hanging on to every scene.. truly a heartwarming show.. =)

the characters are super loveable.. Kang Nam Gil [Sohn Il Gun] is, as always, funny and entertaining [i remember him in Princess Hours].. Yoon Kye Sang [Cha Seung Hyo] is an absolute eye candy material.. i love him very especially because of his acting.. how he can properly differentiate being Seung Hyo from being Il Gun is just amazing.. =) and Go Ara [Sohn Young In] is so pretty and lovely as in i-just-can't-take-my-eyes-away-from-her pretty.. and she acts convincing too, having lost a father whom you never get to appreciate when alive but regret all the dreadful things you did when he's gone.. haynako Soccer Ball and Miracle, i love you!.. =))

pardon mois for the SUPER long picture thread.. i just wanted to put here some of my favorite moments from the drama.. take note of the word some.. dami no?.. =)

and for the final thought, i 've decided to cap it off with my favorite inspiring line from Who Are You [and it's got tons of it].. this somehow gave the impression of hope.. of Seung Hyo's progression and the promise of unconditional love..

“Thank you for breathing fresh air into my dried-up, dying life. Thank you for leading me to realize that the pain of my hardened, always angry heart was actually a love toward the world. I will love diligently — the world, myself, your daughter. I might be old, being eleven years older than her, but I’ll do my best to love her enough for both you and me. I won’t push it aside for later, I’ll love her today. Because, of the remaining days of my life, today is the youngest.”
-Cha Seung Hyo

how to relate..

2008-05-30T16:22:00.000-07:00

just because i don't have a flash player.. [demit.. must. get. one. na..] i really fell in love with this song.. and the lyrics are oh-so-lovely.. from the kdrama Who Are You? which i so absolutely love to the highest heavens.. am gonna do a review bout that soon.. i just can't pass by without posting this song first.. heh.. =)

왜 자꾸 내게 오니 Why do you keep coming to me?
내게 묻지 않고 Without asking me?
이런 날 오늘처럼 하늘 푸른 날 A day like this, a day like today when sky is blue,
더는 내 기억에 오지마 don’t come to my memory anymore.
왜 자꾸 서글프니 Why do I keep getting sad,
어제와 난 같은데 When I’m same as yesterday.
이런 날 눈물처럼 비내리는 날 A day like this, a day when rain falls like tears,
여윈 두 볼 가득히 My night are filled with restless sleep
눈물도 비가 되어 tears turns to rain, too.
너무 숨이 막혀와 It’s so hard to breathe and
your heart your eyes your days
그만 내 심장에서 나가 Enough, leave my heart
너무 나쁜 사람이야 you are a really bad person
그저 그 생각만으로도 The person who makes me cry
날 울리는 사람 너야 when I just think of that person is you.
왜 자꾸 곁에 있니 Why do you keep staying by my side
다 없던 일 아니니 These aren’t things that didn’t happen
이런 날 바보같이 서성대는 날 A day like this, a day when I wander back and forth like a fool
더는 내게 오지마 Don’t come to me anymore
꿈에서도 오지마 Don’t come to my dreams, either.
너무 숨이 막혀서 It’s too hard to breathe
your heart your eyes your days
제발 내 심장에서 떠나 Please leave my heart
내겐 아픔일 뿐이야 mine is only has pain.
그저 그 이름만으로도 The person who can make
눈물나는 사람 너야 tears just with their name is you.
You’re my sweeter day
and better day until now
because I gonna never leave alone
너무 숨이 막혀와 It’s so hard to breathe and
your heart your eyes your days
그만 내 심장에서 나가 Enough, leave my heart
너무 나쁜 사람이야 you are a really bad person
그저 그 생각만으로 The person who makes me cry
도날 울리는 사람 너야 when I just think of that person is you.
내겐 아픔일 뿐이야 mine only has pain
그저 그 이름만으로도 The person who makes
눈물나는 사람 너야 me cry just with their name is you.

“I like you. I like you so much. I didn’t mean to…. I wanted to forget… but I feel for you down through to my fingertips… so I just can’t forget.”
-Han Eun Soo

whenever i see these two i always have that nostalgic feeling about the drama and the story and everything in it.. seriously.. i think one word that i could give to describe Que Sera Sera is intense because that's what it is.. at first i didn't even see these two as a couple but as the story emerges they would give you proper understanding that they should be together after all.. like Han Eun Soo and Kang Tae Joo were really for each other.. that's kind of awkward at first because i mean a player and an innocent girl?.. okay maybe that would work only Kang Tae Joo is too much of a player and Han Eun Soo is too much of an innocent girl.. but whatever, it worked anyway right?.. =)

another thing about this is that the music is so lovable in a way that it kind of tells the story about the situations in the drama.. what i'm trying to say is you would really feel the emotions between the characters more fully because of the effect the music gives to it..

okay so the next best thing about the drama is the characters and with this i truly fell in love with each one of them very especially to the two leads.. they have this kind of thing wherein their emotions and your emotions get pulled through together as if making a connection.. at least that's how i feel when i watched it.. all of the leads have strong personalities that when you have all of them in a same room at once, you would get lots of intense feeling all around and that's what makes it more interesting.. Cha Hye Rin and Shin Joon Hyuk [as i call them the subs] also made a significance in the drama [because without them there wouldn't be any conflicts, eh? =))].. having said that, they added an additional flavor to the story and i loved how they made it.. although i must say there are parts when i totally hate that Hye Rin character because he's just being a bitch and all but also at times i feel pity for her.. and Joon Hyuk is just being....... i don't know, Joon Hyuk?.. hehe.. but i really don't blame them.. they just have to be that way, i believe.. =)

although this drama is intense, i loved it because of all the love and dilemmas revolving around.. it makes it kind of steamy and lovely at the same time.. definitely a must-watch.. =)

places i want to visit..

2008-05-15T23:42:00.000-07:00

yeah, in my dreams.. =)) pero infairness pangarap ko talagang makapunta sa mga lugar na to.. sabi ko nga sa sarili ko 'no matter what'.. siguro pag may job na ako.. haha.. libre lang kase mangarap.. =)

New York Times Square

i normally want to visit busy foreign streets just to take a look on their fashion style.. it's like i'm sight-seeing but with people's clothes.. haha.. i remember when i was in Singapore i saw these bunch of fashionista students and i was really admiring their ensemble.. wala lang naalala ko lang.. =) another thing i love about the square is its giant billboard screens na super gusto ko siyang makita in person.. wala lang parang ang saya kase maglakad-lakad dun e.. may ganung feeling?.. aylavet!.. =)

Sistine Chapel

i blame my History of Arts professor because of this.. no kidding.. hah!.. but nonetheless i want to witness for myself the infamous walls and ceiling that brought the chapel to its fame.. as in harap-harapan.. haha..

Seoul

i am obviously fangirling, again, for anything Korean.. just this morning, i felt that i wanted to eat jjajjangmyun only to find out what it taste like.. having watched almost 7 [i think] kdramas, i am always fascinated by the setting and its environment.. in layman's terms, gusto ko lang magkaroon ng Korean experience.. omg what more could this ultimate fangirling bring me?.. =))

Manhattan [i mean all around it]

para sosyal effect.. hahaha.. i can't help it masyado na kasi akong nanonood ng tv.. as in excessive.. haha.. pero anuba same as Seoul, all i really want is the experience.. =)

book review: obedience

2008-05-14T23:01:00.000-07:00

author: Will Lavender

synopsis: When the students in Winchester University's Logic and Reasoning 204 arrive for the first day of class, they are greeted not with a syllabus or texts, but with a startling assignment from Professor Williams: Find a hypothetical missing girl named Polly. If after being given a series of clues and details the class has not found her before the end of term in six weeks, she will be murdered.

At first the students are as intrigued by the premise of their puzzle as they are wary of the strange and slightly creepy Professor Williams. But as they delve deeper into the mystery, they begin to wonder: Is the Polly story simply an exercise, designed to teach them rational thinking skills, or could it be something more sinister and dangerous?

The mystery soon takes over the lives of three students as they find disturbing connections between Polly and themselves. Characters that were supposedly fictitious begin to emerge in reality. Soon, the boundary between the classroom assignment and the real world becomes blurred--and the students wonder if it is their own lives they are being asked to save.

2 facts:

1.) this review is over a month late and i had to reread it again to refresh thoughts about the book. and..

2.) the story is completely, deliberately, insanely disturbing and i am bound full of paranoia to the situations stated..

okay, so i once mentioned a new novel that i bought and as promised, i should give a review about it as, i think a part of my tradition that every book i read must end here.. hah..=) so anyway, what i absolutely admire about the way it's written is that you would really end up sticking your nose in the book because every word, every action, begins playing in your head like you've seen it before but actually you never have.. i know, confusing.. haha.. but what i'm trying to say is that it is deliciously intense.. like you want more of it as if it's some sort of an addiction..

so the story is about this freaking bitch named Polly and how three students struggle themselves to find her even if she's only hypothetical, or rather as what their Professor would want them to think.. the part i love in this book is how they discuss the Milgram theory that if a person of authority or someone you think is of much knowledge than you made you believe in something, you would actually fall for it and believe in nothing else.. or another thing is when that same person asked you to do something out of the ordinary and say there are consequences, you would, by instinct, believe it right away because he has the power.. i love it because i am educated.. hahaha..=)) no but seriously, it made me realize how that works because i notice the same thing after reading that..

the ending, i should say, is kind of a mixture of devastating and unexpected.. i don't even know how to begin stating that.. it's just.....wow.. =)

so the bottom line is that it's a good read.. very entertaining and disturbing at the same time.. but it's fun.. i might end up reading it again for the nth time.. haha.. i love it..=)

i knew it..

2008-05-13T22:32:00.000-07:00

i know, so farfetched.. not that i have anything against Eric, don't get me wrong i totally love his confidence in this scene.. just check out this vid and see for yourselves.. hah!..

and i must say, things are heating up in the Upper East Side.. so many suspense and drama and everything else in between.. this is getting so intense which makes it more looking forward to.. especially that bitch, Georgina surfaces in [gaad i hate her].. will Serena's dreadful secret finally rest in peace, or will it destroy her and everyone she cares about once and for all.. i know, so commercial-ish.. haha.. so when things are cooking up, this is definitely gonna be TMTH.. love, love for more.. =)

i can't even think of a title because i'm just so excited..

2008-04-29T22:19:00.000-07:00

i just got my Sony Alpha350 today and as promised, i took a bunch of test shots just as soon as i held it..

i know, i'm like a mother excited about her newly born child and she just can't wait to let her baby see the world.. haha, pretty much..

next best thing since happyslip..

2008-04-24T23:59:00.000-07:00

but i still love her videos pa.. =)

i know.. i'm really missing out on a lot of posts.. it's just because i'm more comfortable writing when there are no one near me.. seriously.. it gives me the feeling of being free, saying just what i want to say without anyone minding me at all.. odiba ang taray.. haha.. =))

and if you noticed, that's just me hinting that i'm bored and i just wanted a reason to post.. haha..

so yeah i've been meaning to post this here ages ago if it hadn't been forgotten na.. buti nga naalala ko pa.. haha.. i just wanted to share this with ya'll because i really, really love their original song even though i could not understand it entirely because it's Chinese [duh!?].. do i really have this thing for foreign languages that i could not decipher?.. i would want to know that too.. =)

i just thought they're funny with the way they do those weird faces and their over reaction is just priceless.. i am just so amused like a little kid.. haha.. i've just chose their original song because as i said, it's what i like the most.. it's catchy although i couldn't say much about it because i really don't understand chinese.. X)

i want to find the lyrics for this song too.. =))

announcements..

just a few..

there's been a change, apparently, to my plan for this summer..

i don't know if i would feel relieved or pissed off with this.. maybe a little pinch of both?.. i won't be having summer classes anymore.. i think i'm stiffed.. omg!..

reasons:
a.) it might not be approved..
b.) it might not be approved.. or
c.) it might not be approved!..

i don't know why.. thus, i would be having an extra year until i graduate.. fifth year na to boi!.. oh gee..

on the not so brighter side, i think i would be enrolling for driving lessons this summer.. at least that's what i convinced my father to let me do.. he just didn't said anything clear YET.. i think he said something about after we had gone to the province or something like that.. i really hope this would really turn out because i really, really am desperate to learn how to drive.. i got my fingers crossed. X)

and the really brighter than bright side of this post, after i think 5 months, more or less, of waiting and praying for a digital single lens reflex camera, i would FINALLY get my hands on one this coming tuesday.. i really got my calendar marked now.. that's the day my tita's gonna come home and she has with her when she arrive the most precious thing ever on the planet.. it's a Sony Alpha350 DSLR cam, not really the one i wanted ages ago but this one is way, way better.. i'm just so excited and i can't wait to try it out after i take it out of the box.. =)

and i just wanted to grab this chance to commemorate EARTH DAY today by conserving energy in our house.. i've done good.. heehee.. i just love earth day.. promise.. =)

spring comes again, flowers bloom again..

2008-04-04T15:06:00.000-07:00

"There was nothing like an end, or conclusion. And so, there was no 'happily ever after' either. There was only, 'Every day, we start today together again'..."

-Oh Dal Ja

another way i could love a drama is how it affects me even when it ends.. seriously, Dal Ja's Spring has given me tons of good memories which made me feel that this drama had an amazing impact on me.. and fortunately, i could relieve these memories again because i just recently bought a DVD.. hah!.. i so love it..

it's so heartwarming because the drama, i could say, is realistic and there are promises of good memories between them even though there's no 'happily ever after'.. i absolutely loved the ending.. yun lang.. haha..

i love how each episode doesn't get too boring because it doesn't focus on one story alone.. it evolves around Dal Ja's career, lovelife, family and beliefs which i think is a more universal approach in stirring up a not-so-dull show.. and add up those Dal Ja antics which i so love because she's funny, Tae Bong's manly-man charms and mysterious personality, Sae Do's weird but cool vibe and Seon Joo's strong upbringing and confident personality.. oh, and i could not forget Soon Ae's character because she's one of my favorite in the show.. =) also, throw in Dal Ja's funny co-workers [i so love them!.. =)], her mother and grandmother [who also played Han Kyul's grandmother in Coffee Prince] and Tae Bong's family which is kind of funny-weird.. i really hope it would air here in the Philippines because i already missed it on KBSworld..

it is not overly dramatic so i recommend this to all of you who are allergic to two hours of gushing tear moments and straight faced drama conversations like me.. really, it's worth the watch.. =)

an omg moment..

2008-03-26T19:05:00.000-07:00

i'm just too lost for words.. over this!..

it better not be Dan or else i'm gonna hate the show forever.. bwahahaha.. or Chuck.. i love the whole Chuck/Blair thingy.. Nate?.. not that much.. hehe.. i'm not surprised though if it was Eric.. he looks gay to me [no pun intended].. =))

or maybe it's one of the fathers?.. what, with Blair's dad coming out and all.. it's so funny if Rufus has to be it.. Bart?.. maaaaybe?.. haha.. this would just keep me guessing all day..

if it has to be one of them, it has to be Eric.. it just has to be.. hahaha.. i'm not hating him and all but i think it's just proper to be him.. hah.. that's bringing out the critique in me.. =))

disciplinary actions..

2008-03-23T23:59:00.000-07:00

just when i thought i could learn to smile again, strange things suddenly pop out of nowhere.. pwede ba please maging masaya ako kahit one whole day ma-experience ko naman yun.. laging bitin e.. azar..

so anyway, don't mind that previous post for it was meant to release all my bad energy at that time.. and yeah, i was being so melodramatic so there's no excuse for all that words and shit to come out clean.. pure mess.. haha..

so moving on, i just realized na summer na pala and i think i don't have enough time para i-enjoy ang summer because of school and stuff.. oye, i would be going to school on a summer's day.. don't ask.. hehe.. i think it would be best to have a list of what i'm supposed to accomplish before this ends.. since it would work much better if i'm keeping track of it.. haha.. sure, i'm that lousy.. =)

1.) read [and finish] a new novel..
this may go well because i just recently bought a new book, and a hard bound one at that, which costed me much so i think finishing it soon would give justice to it.. i'll tell you a further story about this when i make a review of the book.. =)

2.) finish ALL those series i've been wanting to watch..
i don't know if i already told you this but i have been a big fan of Kdramas since Lovers in Paris was aired here in the Philippines.. and it only grew stronger after i have finished watching Coffee Prince on DVD.. to savor the experience, i borrowed Lovers in Paris [and fell in love with it again] to refresh my memories about that drama.. oye, i'm beginning to feel all mushy again.. and i have yet to watch Princess Hours and My Girl [although i haven't borrowed this yet].. oh and i also bought a Heroes DVD para mapanood ko nadin siya kahit papano.. oh and i'm also watching two new Kdramas online; Dal Ja's Spring and Que Sera Sera.. my fangirling for Korean series still goes on and on.. =))

3.) work out[!]
this may be impossible to accomplish.. since i'm a stick figure, napag-isip-isip ko na din na kelangan ko na din maging conscious sa aking bodily figure kasi super naiintimidate na talaga ako pag nakikita ko sarili ko sa salamin.. haha, ganun kagrabe.. pero yun nga ang problema e, i don't know if i'm going to have a better shape with having this stick for a body.. haaay.. may pangarap din ako kahit papano.. haha.. yes naman.. =0

4.) have summer classes..
oo na kasama na to.. gusto ko lang matapos lahat ng kalechehang to.. haha.. +)

5.) ..and earn more while at it..
new year's resolution ko talaga maging matipid e pero parang hindi naman ata nangyayari.. i think i'm spending more this past months compared to last year na i almost got temporarily broke.. i just need to have more discipline.. kaya ko to.. aja!.. =)

6.) beach.beach.beach..
summer na anuba i need to be out there under the sun and soak myself up.. ang init-init na kasi super gusto ko na talagang mag swimmin'.. haha..

7.) learn hangul!..
this is a must.. haha.. fangirling continues.. i must say, i'm kinda enjoying myself reading those Hangul characters slowly like a kid and felt proud that i kinda understand them although i never did.. haha.. i just wish i could read faster like a Korean native.. maybe it would take months?.. heehee.. =)

i think by listing them here makes it a point for me to really aspire these things and proving na i can do stuff too.. and it really takes my mind out of the blur.. i think that alone could make my summer worthwhile.. =)

this is some serious shit..

2008-03-12T23:59:00.000-07:00

how come everytime i see him..
i get funny feelings all around me..
the kind which i'm not supposed to feel..
gosh, what did i do to deserve this?..
i am not supposed to like someone who i hate so much..
how come?..
this is really hurting me..
he is in my heart..
but i want him out..
i don't care how..
i can't let the pain out because i don't know how..
and now it's torturing me..

"Do you know hope torture? The best thing one can do for someone who loves her is of course to love him back. Loving each other. But if she doesn't love him, she shouldn't leave any hope for him. Because even the smallest hope can be a tremendous torture to him. That's why it's called hope torture."
-Tae-Young Kang [Lovers in Paris]

testing my patience..

2008-03-11T23:20:00.000-07:00

i am beginning to have interest in the Korean language to the point of wanting to speak that way.. oh yeah, i blame it to all the Kdramas i've been watching.. hehe.. i'm studying how to read and write Hangul (Korean characters) pa lang.. grabe sobrang hard work mag-aral ng Korean.. lesson four pa lang ako sabaw na ako.. at least marunong na ako ng konti kung pano magbasa ng Hangul.. think kinder-like reading.. as in every syllable dahan-dahan kong ina-analyze.. parang su-per-man, ganon.. at least i'm trying hard.. ganon ko talaga kagustong matuto.. shet course na to.. haha.. kamusta, meron pa akong mga handouts para lang matuto ako to the highest level.. adik na kasi ako sa Koreanovela, oo na.. haha.. konti pa lang naiintidihan kong mga Korean words.. kaya ko lang magbasa pero hindi pa ako masyadong makaintindi.. gets?.. basta ganun.. =)

너를 사랑한다

noreul saranghe - i love you

kamusta naman diba.. aja na to.. haha..

what a chocolatey day..

2008-02-21T22:57:00.000-08:00

i got this weird realization just this afternoon when i'm munching my churros con chocolate at school.. that is i've been digesting nothing more than chocolates entirely the whole day.. so let's see.. before i go to school i ate and finished one whole bar of Cadbury milk chocolate.. then when i insist on eating ice cream with my classmates, i end up having the choco-banana flavored one.. afterwards, after finishing my baon, i got thirsty and bought a large chocolate flavored Teazer.. and then here comes the churros part dipped in oh-so-yummy chocolate syrup i ended up gulping.. but that didn't stop there.. after dinner, i had a bottle of chocolate milk which i have "for emergency purposes only".. the whole day was, like, made just for chocolate digestions.. it was like chocolate day or something.. i don't know but it felt bizarre since i didn't really plan these on purpose.. oh well..

i so love chocolate, i couldn't get enough of it.. [parang commercial lang a].. =))

how i fall in love with dramas..

2008-02-19T23:08:00.000-08:00

i've gotten this strange addiction to Coffee Prince since i've considered borrowing my friend's DVD copy of the series.. hindi ko naman kasi siya dating pinapansin nung pinalabas siya sa GMA.. i remembered getting annoyed to it because people keep on reminding me of the show.. kamusta naman kasi ang Because Of You na theme song niya sa GMA.. anuba, don't even get me started with this.. dati kasi mas gusto ko yung Spring Waltz sa ABS-CBN dahil kay Daniel Henney.. and after that i got bored [no offense to Spring Waltz fans] because of the dull storyline and the almost tiresome senti moments.. i felt i needed something with a little more kick into it.. then here comes my friends bragging about how they've finished Coffee Prince and how the lead actor is more appealing than the other and how it is more fun and entertaining.. i've begun to think if i would give this series a chance until my friend volunteered to lend me her copy.. i just made an excuse na wala na kasi akong ibang mapanood sa TV.. haha.. so lo and behold, i got hooked big time with the funny antics of the characters and their lovable wits.. i even watch it for four episodes per day everyday since i'm only available at noon.. haha.. did i say too much?..

cuuute!.. alavet.. =)

well anyway, the thing i love most about the show is how it didn't fail to give me the kilig factor without them acting too much.. it's just i love how every movement, every reaction, every conversation seem so natural.. tsaka super kakaiba din kasi yung story.. may pagka typical-Kdrama-cliche kasi siya with a twist e.. wherever would you see a female protagonist turned male turned female kind of churva?.. and, get this, the male protagonist fell in love with the female when he thought she was a guy.. ang chaka ng chukchak!.. kaya nga super nain-love ako sa kwento.. pati narin sa mga characters.. oh, and i so LOVE the personality of Choi Han Gyul.. very, very appealing guy.. haha.. oh, and i also LOVE his tandem with Go Eun Chan.. very, very cute couple.. na-feel ko yung connection kaya nga if they are sad, i feel as if i'm going to be sad, and if they are happy, i'm happy as well.. odiba ang taray.. i love how they play with each other.. their petty fights and silly arguments makes me wanna feel jealous.. i love it!.. kinikilig ako big time!.. i want myself some Han Gyul love.. haha.. =)) [what else do i love?].. i LOVE Choi Han Sung's voice especially when he sang to Han Yoo Ju over the phone.. [i must have been saying too much].. and oh, i also LOVE their sarcastic remarks especially the Coffee Princes.. they're like making the whole series fun.. i LOVE the plot and twists of the story.. i love how they make you want more of them.. basta i LOVE it to the highest heavens!.. =))

i have finished watching the whole series and i'm planning to watch it more even if it means starting from the beginning.. i'm planning nga to buy myself a copy para hindi naman nakakahiya kay Cesca.. hahaha..

oh and i remember, my friends also told me that the one who played the lead in Princess Hours is also the lead in Coffee Prince.. tignan niyo naman ang pinagkaiba nila sa isa't-isa..

odiba.. can you see the difference?.. girly vs. tomboyish.. haha.. =))

take me to paris.. =)

2008-02-12T15:16:00.000-08:00

gusto ko ulet manood ng lovers in paris!.. super nakakamiss.. hahahaha.. i really fell in love with the story.. i even remember the time i'm super excited to watch it on t.v... yun bang tipong inaabangan mo talaga siya no matter what.. haay.. those were the days.. hahaha.. =)

the joy of pepsi..

2008-02-05T16:57:00.000-08:00

i personally think Pepsi has the best commercials ever.. sobrang nakakaaliw kasi silang panoorin.. haha.. anuba tuwang-tuwa nga ako e.. i also love its endorsers which makes it a hit to the young generation.. aylavet!.. =)

Britney Spears

this one i love.. from different generations of Pepsi commercials through Britney's rendition.. aliw.. i love the "bop, bop, bop" tune in the end i felt it was catchy.. =)

Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, David Beckham

this one's hot.. major reason: David Beckham!.. haha.. tsaka ang pretty ni J.Lo dito.. although hindi nagsalita si Beyonce she's still looked good..

Christina Aguilera

i love the song.. actually i have "Here To Stay" on my iPod so i know the song.. tignan niyong mabuti si Christina Aguilera sa parang Muslim[?] scenario.. basta her eyes are lovely..

so who do you think owned it?.. =)

10 things she hate about him..

2008-02-04T20:16:00.000-08:00

i hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair..

i hate the way you drive my car..

i hate it when you stare..

i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind..

i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme..

i hate it, i hate the way you're always right..

i hate it when you lie..

i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry..

i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call..

but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you..

not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all..

-Kat Stratford [10 Things I Hate About You]

i'm a big fan of mushy-touchy-feely quotes from chick flicks and this one would be my favorite.. it's a poem that Kat [Julia Stiles] wrote to Patrick [Heath Ledger] and then at the end of the movie, she read this in front of the class including him.. ang cute no?.. haha.. i swear.. alam niyo kung bakit?.. nakakarelate kasi ako.. [ang drama..] hahaha.. =)

the francis nariz super trivia..

2008-01-25T21:49:00.000-08:00

haha, joke time.. =))

i kind of like did something like this before here.. well actually there were 20 facts on my previous but i guess i would elaborate some of them in this post.. i got this from zanti's livejournal.. she had it open so.....

1.) i super, duper, mega, ultra, love Superman to the highest heavens!.. naging fan lang ako ni Superman dahil sa kantang Superman ng Five for Fighting.. i try to collect Superman items nga e.. i'm starting pa lang.. actually, i have a Superman pin i wear almost everyday at school kasi nga naka-pin siya sa ID lace ko.. haha.. gusto ko nga din ng tumbler na Superman tsaka yung lunchbox na metal.. meron bang medyas na Superman?.. hahaha.. =))

2.) i have a really short temper.. sa tagalog, madali akong magalit/mainis/ma-imbyerna sa kahit anong nakakainis na dahilan.. ha?.. haha.. basta i do get pissed off agad on anything.. be it situations, objects, persons [lalo], weather, myself[?], basta anything whatever under the sun.. siguro kasi i usually put the blame on other things when i'm mad?.. basta..

3.) i have this weak spot for dogs.. siguro kasi i have a pet dog and i can pretty much say that i'm attached to her.. super.. one foolproof example is the way i cried [not necesarilly cried, more like shed a tear maybe?] for Sam in I Am Legend.. i personally don't like dogs suffering.. tao pa siguro pwede.. hahaha.. just kidding.. =))

4.) i'm super paranoid.. yung tipong kahit hindi naman ako yung pinag-uusapan feeling ko ako yung topic just because napalingon lang sila sa direksyon ko.. hanuba ayoko na ng ganon.. kung meron lang akong pwedeng baguhin in an instant yun na yun e.. hayrret!..

5.) i have this super strange habit everytime i pass through the beato angelico building door.. more specifically going out.. what i would do is the moment i set foot outside that door i would immediately stare at the pavs as if i'm looking for something.. or someone perhaps?.. weird no?.. ewan ko lang madaming beses ko na tong nagawa.. may instances din na hindi ko to sinasadya.. bigla na lang akong mapapatingin dun.. haha.. weird.. =))

6.) i am addicted to watching either tv series or movies.. it's like my own way of winding down from all the stress the day has given me.. tsaka i love how i could relate to the story.. odiba, drama?.. =)) it's like everytime i come home from school or if i got bored doing whatever, i would just watch those tv series [Gossip Girl!] or movies i have in dvd.. =)

7.) i have this habit of drinking Yakult halfway through my sleep.. as in every night ganyan ang scenario.. bababa lang ako ng 2 or 3 am para lang sa Yakult tapos tulog na ulet.. ang saya.. i love it.. =)

8.) this post has been going on as a draft for, like, ever because i keep getting blacked out.. like i don't know what else to share.. in fact, i'm always like that in some of my posts.. my mind just seem to rest a lot.. that's even my reason why i'm not writing anything on my planner yet.. oh yeah, i blame my mind.. haha.. =))

**oo na, i tag everybody who would read this.. yun lang, bow.. haha.. =)**

terrible news..

2008-01-23T22:31:00.000-08:00

"Heath Ledger, dead at 28"

this is super sad.. i know.. he is, like, one of my most admired actors so yeah, i'm affected.. super nanghihinayang pa naman ako kasi nga it's so sudden.. sayang.. i'm so sad talaga.. i swear.. at hindi ko pa napapanood yung Dark Knight.. i'll make it a point to see it.. may nabasa ako dahil daw sa character niya dun sa movie na yun kaya siya naging super stressed.. nakakastress pala maging Joker.. haynako, i'm just grieving for his death.. you don't see many great actors like him nowadays.. =((

the unthinkable happened..

2008-01-16T18:16:00.000-08:00

this maybe the most impossible event ever in the history of most impossible events.. this is the second time in a week that we watched a movie.. in a theater.. top that huh.. haha.. just kidding.. pero di nga, super nakakatuwa lang kasi sumobra yung energy namin na manood ng movie.. actually may change sa kasama pero whatever diba.. nawala sina elora at sheena pero sumali naman si jeyel.. ayun..

National Treasure: Book of Secrets was our film of choice.. this was a sequel to National Treasure which i never got to watch.. pero i remember my mom watching it on tv and i actually recognized the Declaration of Independence part.. yun lang ang naaalala ko sa movie na yun.. =) )

thoughts?..

it was, uh, how could i say this, informative?.. well maybe i thought it was because of history and everything.. it all started with Abraham Lincoln's assasination.. i have never read of someone by the name of Thomas Gates being in this plot.. well anyways, he was Ben's [Nicolas Gates] great-great grandfather and he was accused of being one of the people involved in the said assasination.. he was accused because his name has been signed as one of Lincoln's conspirators.. now, it's up to Ben to clear the name of his great-great grandfather and uncover the world's most hidden treasures.. so okay it was kind of like a synopsis of the film but anyway it is rather informative.. i like solving puzzles so it has been easy to be in favor of this movie as well.. inaral ko na nga rin kung pano gumawa at mag solve ng Playfair Cipher dahil lang dito.. haha, i swear..

i love how the Resolute desks have, like, the secret compartments with the switch and the levers and everything.. i mean it was totally fun watching them open it.. tsaka pati na din yung sa Library of Congress.. basta ang cute lang.. haha.. =)

the suspense part happens in Cibola [or at least that's what it's called].. it is like a typical ruins-type of cave with secret traps and stuff like that.. when Riley, Ben, Abigail and Mitch fell on the balancing thingy, i was actually thrilled.. no, not shivering kind of thrilled but suspense-like.. and also when they have to get out and Mitch has to stay.. i don't know but it has thrilled me as well.. =)

wala lang, sabihin ko na din dito.. i thought Riley Poole was hawt.. he was funny, and cute, and, uh, basta.. well at least to me he is hawt.. =))

i'm getting tired..

2008-01-14T23:25:00.000-08:00

..of posting?.. haha.. maybe.. i don't know how to be "in the mood" e.. it's just i'm too occupied lately.. ayoko namang isipin na nase-stress ako kasi hindi naman.. medyo lang?.. i want to push myself para hindi naman magmukhang kawawa tong blog ko diba.. i want more hits!.. haha.. yun yun e..

kami nina superfriends finally had our chance to watch a movie together.. can you believe that?.. for me it's like an accomplishment.. you never get to convince them easily.. pero unfortunately kulang parin e.. yun na yun e.. moment na to e.. =))

so 7 of us [kat, elora, celeen, sheena, cesca, lovelove, myself] were there.. we watched I Am Legend.. funny story about this whole movie experience thingy is that we were never really sure if we would watch it in a theater or at kat's.. dala ni celeen yung dvd niya ng movie na yun para sure na kung gusto naming magtipid, kina kat nalang daw kami.. and kat was never really sure kung available ang ~~super flatscreen~~ tv ng parents niya since sira nga yung player niya.. nagtext pa siya sa kanila.. kamusta naman yun.. so we ended up watching it in a theater.. funny lang kasi it was all sudden.. wala lang.. ganun e.. =))

thoughts about the movie.. it was super tragic.. [not tragic in a bad way.. i mean, tragic as in sad kind of way].. this one i actually liked.. the story progressed in such that you wanted to know each and every detail going on.. three things why this movie is tragic: **SPOILER ALERT**

[the dog] Sam's death.. probably the ultimate, super saddest part of the movie.. what makes it even more sad is that after Robert has given her the cure, he picks her up and sings to her.. sana hindi na lang siya nagka virus.. i literally cried when he has to strangle her.. now i always feel like crying everytime i remember that scene.. that was so hard for me to bear.. hala?.. drama?.. =)) anyway..
his family dies.. it wasn't much but i just thought it's sad..
Robert's suicide.. hindi ko alam kung bakit naisipan niyang magpakamatay na lang.. hindi ko talaga alam.. whatever but nonetheless, tragic..

gusto ko ulit siyang panoorin.. i swear.. =)

book review: the follower

2008-01-09T23:33:00.000-08:00

Author: Jason Starr

Synopsis: Katie Porter is an ordinary Manhattan girl. Working her first job out of college, her life is one of drinks and dates, gym visits and shopping. But someone thinks she's special - very special. And he's following her...

But it's not her boyfriend, Andy. The frat-boy who never grew up is too busy working out how far Katie will go and if her friends are hot, to stop and think whether Katie's 'the one'. Yet someone already decided she is - and he's watching her. He's seen her at the coffee stall she stops at on the way to work. He's seen her at home. In fact, he's seen her almost everywhere, as he quietly follows her. But most of all, he sees her in his plans for the future. Surely, after all this time, he won't let anything stand in his way...

Combining razor-sharp dialogue, black humour and killer page-turning suspense, THE FOLLOWER will creep you out, hook you in, and make sure you always double-lock your door at night.

i actually bought this book as a gift for myself since it's christmas and i had money then so whatever.. haha.. this is like a new hobby of mine, reading novels, since last year pa but i never had the chance to buy one for myself.. i usually buy books kasi as a gift to my friends e so ayun.. so on with the post..

i thought it was a good read.. i mean it's not like it was boring and all that.. it was other than that.. it just felt so, i don't know, bitin?.. kind of.. well, i really liked the third part because that's when the suspense and the thrill happened.. at first i thought it was just some teen romance kind of story because of all the talks about dates and breakups and sex and stuff like that.. i mean, yeah, there are LOTS of sex talk going on around that book [which kind of makes it more interesting, i thought.. =))] and i didn't mean just talk.. i also get confused when the author talks about places and streets around Manhattan because a.) i have never really been to Manhattan b.) i only see Manhattan on television and c.) i don't know where the hell those streets he's talking about are.. i get lost sometimes.. but i just think of the Gossip Girl setting.. Upper East Side?..

the thing about the bitin part is that it kind of left me somewhere to the point where i didn't know what's next.. it just cuts off to the epilogue, which is kind of a silly one i thought.. maybe the author just wants to leave the readers with questions in their heads and mysteries of what had been..

the thing i loved about the book is the modern feel to it.. i mean you really know what they're talking about because you have an idea about it.. i'm actually rereading this book to refresh moments and stuff like that but you get the point.. haha.. =))

overall i thought it was fun.. well at least i had fun.. i give it 4 out of 5 stars.. =)

i still believe in fairytales..

"You know when you were a little kid and you believed in fairytales? That fantasy of what your life would be. White dress, prince charming who’d carry you away to a castle on a hill. You’d lie in your bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them. But eventually, you grow up. One day you open your eyes, and the fairy tale disappears.
Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely. Because almost everyone still has that smallest bit of hope, of faith that one day they’ll open their eyes and it will all come true."
-Meredith Grey [Grey's Anatomy]

what makes me want to believe in fairy tales is that i know there's always a happy ending.. even if it's not what i expect it to be.. there's this hope inside me that says everything's gonna be alright.. i imagine a lot about how i wanted my life to be and i trust these imaginations.. i trust them so well that i often cross the line between reality and fiction.. i wanted to believe in happy endings because that's the only way i could find contentment.. i wanted to be happy and lose myself for a while.. there's nothing really wrong with all this except there's always some point that we realize all these are make-believe.. it's called reality.. i know it sucks but that's how we live.. that's life..

oh happy day..
