Precious Inspiration

Creed - Full Circle

2009-12-20T23:40:54Z

I bought this CD in Miami and never got around to posting about it. I love this CD so much! It's the best one Creed has done (they had a lot of time on their hands to complete this CD). I feel sad though since I like Alter Bridge as well... I hope I hear from them soon.

Anyways this post is about parts of songs that made me feel much better, even though they are kinda depressing, since I can relate to them.

Time

This time I have nothing left to lose
I’m stuck the second hand won’t move
It’s about time that I speak my mind
It’s about time, about time I find
Pieces of me I have lost
Without any choice I move on
Hey time you’re no friend of mine
Hey time you’re no friend of mine

Will you be there to catch me when I stumble
When I fall, when I fall
It’s so very clear you left me when I had no one at all
No one at all

I love this song so much. I feel that parts of this song is what I'm feeling at the moment.

I'm stuck, I have nothing left to lose, they've seen it all and I should speak up. I did loose pieces of me, but I'm still me and stronger... maybe. I don't have a choice and will have to move on soon and time, really isn't on my side now. I'm wondering what's going to happen to me now.

On my sleeves

The eyes around me are so cold
With every chance they steal my soul
So walk with me, talk with me
Hold my had I'm stumbling
In consequence it buries me alive

Can you fix what's made to be broken
I can't fix what's made to be

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I'm not hiding
No
It only hurts to breathe

My heart is tattooed on my sleeve
I know it's blinding
No
It only hurts to breathe

Standing now and alone
I need answers tell me everything you know
So heavy is the night
Exhausted
Whispers tend to crucify my mind
I'm fighting, but I'm blind

Rain

Can you help me out, can you lend me a hand?
It's safe to say I'm stuck again.
Trapped between this life and the light, I just can't figure out
How to make it right.
A thousand times before, I've wondered if there's something more...
Something more.

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days,
So let it rain down and wash everything away.
I hope that tomorrow's sun will shine,
With every tomorrow comes another light.
I feel it's gonna rain, for days and days.
I feel it's gonna rain.

Song you sing

woke up and had a face to face
guess my reflection had a lot to say
why let my worries steal my day
it just brings me down

does the song you sing
have enough meaning
inspire us to sing along
does the song you sing
keep echoing
inspire us to sing the song you sing

what's wrong with the world today
tell me what's all the talk about
lately I've been in a real bad place
can't let the world bring me down

does the song you sing
had it lost meaning
inspire us to sing along
does the song you sing keep echoing
inspire us to sing the song you sing

I suggest you buy this CD, it's really good.

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge Live Action Drama

2009-12-14T02:26:24Z

According to animenation whose source was ANN, the popular manga will become now a Live Action drama!

I'm excited about this and I hope they cast the right actors for this series.

OMFG! He's back!

2009-12-10T01:02:31Z

He's back!!! I read it over at dramabeans that Goon Yoo has been discharged on December 8th, 2009!

He's the actor from First Shop of Coffee Prince. In 2008 he was enlisted and now he's back. I'm looking forward to what he'll do in 2010.

P.S.: I am feeling very down and depressed for some odd reason... I'm going to need a "you're beautiful" dose (LOL).

Best moments of You're Beautiful

2009-12-05T05:51:37Z

It had to happen. I will be posting my favorite moments of this series (don't panic, everything will be put behind a cut and there will be tons of pics).

I found this funny. Tae Kyung sents Mi Nam away after she has a battle with his bidet (LOL) and he looks at it as if it will attack him and he says: "a bidet is actually more dangerous than it looks, I have to be careful" LOL!

LOL! She kicks him! Mi Nam goes into the water to hide from the guys, Kyung goes in after her to save her and she kicks him and he flails down to the bottom... so frigging funny!

LOL! I doubt any normal human being wouldn't wake up after that. Kyung jostled her left and right for her to wake up, but she didn't... HAHAHA

This is my 2nd place funny moment winner. Kyung has no sense of direction and they keep circling around the same ice cream parlor. At first he tells Mi Nam there are more of these (hahahahahaha!).

Just fan service. His smile is just too adorable for the human eye.

More fan service. I love it when he does that, it's just too cute!

3rd place winner funny moment. Kyung hears that Mi Nam left and he gets in his car and angrily speeds away, nearly running poor Hoon Yi over (see arrow) and it was frigging hillarious!

Our 1st place winner funny moment has to be Kyung running away from the boar. HAHAHAHA! I laughed so hard re-watching this part.... HAHAHAHA! Look at his face!

I just love this part for some reason. I found it really cute and possessive on Kyung's part.

More cute moment between these two. I loved how Mi Nam said that she wished she stuck all her fingers together if she knew it would distract Kyung and maker herself useful to him.

Just loved this scene. It was powerful the way Mi Nam was ripping into Kyung for not seeing or knowing anything and of course the kiss!

Kyung finds out Mi Nam likes him 100% LOL and he goes all girly on pig-rabbit.

Funny moment 4th place is the guys adding extra ingredients too Yoo Hey Yi's spaghetti and their reaction when Mi Nam interrupts it.

Heartbreak moment alert; Jeremy sings "I Love you" and his emotions just boil over. I loved this scene so much! He got his heart broken.

This is just too cute! Kyung drags Mi Nam to a movie theater but they both fall asleep and if you see my post about episode 14, you'll see what they did after the movie hehehe...

This has nothing to do with best or funny moments. I just wanted to point out that I have the exact same necklace! Yippeeee!

Mi Nam saying to Kyung she is going far away. It's a very sad scene and she rips into Kyung about him only caring about himself, he can't see she's hurting more than him. I omitted the scene with Shin Woo and Mi Nam at the church. She stands up and with a firm voice tells Shin Woo to stop forcing his feelings on her... I love that scene as well.

The best scene in the entire series is this parting scene. Mi Nam is saying goodbye to Kyung and you see him not wanting to let her go and grabbing her hand more tightly... my heart just melted into a big pool of sappy (LOL). I also loved how they paused (or made them stand like that) for a long while. Just loved it!

I know... something's missing right? Nopes, it's coming up now. It's the hallucination (sort off) scenes!

Jeremy is thinking what could have happened between Mi Nam and Kyung and it has Kyung acting really funny.

This is Hoon Yi. He's thinking of how Mi Nam could have fallen asleep on top of Kyung. Hilarity ensues. He first thinks it's Kyung that attacks her, but Mi Nam is on top and so he thinks Mi Nam attacked him!

This is Kyung. He's thinking of what Mi Nam wanted to say to him about the hair pin. He thinks she doesn't care about the cheap thing and she does the same facial expression he does! LOL.

The winner is the boy's love fanfic! HAHAHAHA! I'm still not going to spoil it, just watch it.

Also a funny scene that I found really funny is my icon. It was sooooo funny!

So that's the best moments from You're Beautiful. I wanted to add so much more, but since I did reviews on the series and I have some moments there, I decided to go with these.

I can now finally close the "You're Beautiful" chapter.

Darker than Black season 2 & Inuyasha Final Act

2009-12-05T00:39:07Z

I loved the first season of Darker than Black and when I heard about season 2, I was happy.

The series is up to episode 8 and it's dragging too much! It's pissing me off! They're dragging Souo's storyline way too long and are not explaining about Yin or if Hei really lost his contractor's power. It's really boring and there isn't much action. I hope it picks up real soon!

I'm happy to see the old Li (Hei) back (sort off).

In Inuyasha news... Kikyo finally frigging died! I never liked her in the first place and I am happy with her death.

You're Beautiful 16 (the end)

2009-12-04T03:57:35Z

Yeah, it was gonna happen.

Last night (after I got home, started up the PC and went to watch the final episode) I saw the end of this series. I love this series and I am satisfied with the ending.

Kyung sees Mi Nam, she bows and then she disappears. Mi Nam thinks it's best not to acknowledge him in the presence of fans. Mi Nam sees Manager Ma (Hoon Yi) and start talking. Mi Nam is thinking of going to Africa. Suddenly there is a crisis (manager Ma is something, I tell you) and he forces Mi Nam to dress as Go Mi Nam.

Meanwhile Kyung goes into paranoid mode and is analyzing why Mi Nam didn't greet him or come to him. He thinks (a) She became a nun once more, (b) she prefers to become a pharmaceutical's wife (LOL) or (c) she prefers to be only a fan. He comes to think that maybe she's over him and that he's been dumped. Seeing Mi Nam (Go Mi Nam) he tells him (he thinks it's Go Mi Nam) to tell his sister that he's fine and all sorts of things. Mi Nyeo is really sad and says that she won't have to say goodbye.

Mi Nyeo & Manager Ma are attacked my Sung (label director) as he has set up a special meeting. Seems that Go Mi Nam is pursuing Yoo Hye Yi and he has set them up. The other guys are all coming to the restaurant and for them not to realize that it's Mi Nyeo, Hoon yi makes her drink. She is soon passed out and the gang sits at the table. Hoon Yi's phone rings (it's Go Mi Nam) so he goes to answer it and that leaves Kyung next to Mi Nyeo. She stirs and falls in his lap. He's annoyed and goes to pull him away when he realizes something. Her face is softer and so is her hand. He holds it and covers them (so cute). Shin woo catches on, but Kyung says he's taking Mi Nam home.

She wakes up and finds herself with Kyung. She does all kinds of stuff (bathroom & drink water). Kyung asks her what he's holding up and she says "five", Kyung tells her it's wrong, it's a "palm" (see earlier episodes, they had a similar situation) then she says to Kyung for how long he knew. I love his answer:

Kyung: "I know a lot more about you than you think, didn't you think I'd know it was you?"

something like that. She tells him that she's glad he's OK. She goes on saying that seeing him again is making her heart ache and that she's going to go far away. She falls asleep and he tells her he's been trying really hard to see in the dark, but now she will go away.

Kyung gets rid of pig-rabbit (stuffed animal) so sad.

I love this part. Mi Nyeo meets with Mo Wha Ran and she tells her that she has to go ask Kyung for forgiveness, that he's the person who needs it most. All he wanted was his mother.

I found this one even better!

Kyung meets with Jeremy:

Jeremy: "is Mi Nyeo coming? Where is pig-rabbit?"
Kyung: "I threw it away"
Jeremy: "weren't you waiting for her"
Kyung: "why should I wait? It's over"
Jeremy: "did you tell her you waited?"
Kyung: "why would I say that"
Jeremy: "because not telling her is the same as not waiting, you arrogant butthole!" HAHAHA!

Kyung meets Yoo Hey Yi and after some jabs he tells her that he's over Mi Nyeo and she answers him:

Hey Yi: "You aren’t embarrassed about being caught faking, but it’s embarrassing being caught for real, isn’t it?" - referring to Kyung telling her that she was embarrassed to tell him her feelings for him, but wasn't embarrassed to faking being a fairy.

Kyung meets Shin Woo and he tells him not to mention anything.

Shin woo: I bet she didn't go away, you pushed her away. Letting go is something you do after you've hold on till the end. Have you held onto her? What you saw in Japan was me trying to hold onto her till the end, it must have looked pathetic, but I can say that I've hold onto her and that's why I could let her go. You didn't did you? Keep holding onto your pride mighty Kyung".

Something like that.

After that Kyung sees his mother and she asks for his forgiveness and relays her conversation with Mi Nyeo. He tells her that he can't forgive her now, but later he'll hear out her apology and tells her goodbye, mother.

He's in a hurry now to go after Mi Nyeo, he gets to to convent but the little girl tells him she's gone and shows him stars (the whole room is covered in stars) and the girl tells her that she went to see her star before she left. He's headed back to the concert full speed. He comes up on stage and all the girls go wild. Mi Nyeo is happy she can see her star before she goes. He can't see a thing and goes back inside. He asks to change the order of the concert. He comes up and starts singing Mi Nyeo's song (her fathers). She's about to leave, but Kyung yells loudly:

Kyung: "You’re listening now, aren’t you? It’s so bright here and your side is so dark that I can’t see you. Please, don’t be where I can’t see you! Give permission to let me see you!"

Shin Woo asks the stage director to turn on the lights. They go on and Kyung sees Mi Nyeo. He jumps down and makes his way towards her. He hugs her and holds her thightly and says to her: "I'm going to keep telling you everyday, so listen closely. I love you"

OMFG!!!! LOL

After that they are in the patio and Mi Nyeo is still going to Africa, but she's coming back. Kyung plucks a star out of the sky (figuratively) and dangles the necklace. After some cute moments Kyung hugs her and it ends.

Sorry didn't want to type the whole finale dialogue. It was super cute and I wished they ended it with a kiss (LOL).

I loved this whole series, everything got tied up nicely and just loved it. I loved it how the guys ripped into Kyung, both Jeremy and Shin Woo confessed their love, got rejected and moved on, he was the only one being stubborn and holding onto pride.

I also loved that Kyung sang Mi Nyeo's father's song. I find it annnoying to type Mi Nyeo now after saying Mi Nam in 15 episodes... Bleh! Anyways I also loved that they didn't show Go Mi Nam all that much. It'd be weird. I just loved all of it.

I don't think the should come up with a second season, but a movie! I would just love to watch them all again in a movie.

Till next time!

You're Beautiful 15

2009-11-27T02:16:28Z

I really love this drama so much! I particularly loved this episode, it was beautiful.

I love the scenes with Mi Nam & Kyung. So powerful and beautiful. They are good together (acting) and very emotional. I also liked the part where Mo Wha Ran realizes she wasn't loved and I love how Mi Nam asked Kyung to stop his mother from singing that song.

I hate hate hate!!!! That I won't be here to watch the last episode. I'm in an emotional turmoil and I need the happy ending the cure me! LOL. Anyways when I come back home I will watch the finale of this and write lots and lots about it hehehe.

I love this drama!

You're Beautiful 13 - 14

2009-11-22T01:05:54Z

I freagin' love this drama!!!

OK now that's out of the way I'm going to start with episode 13 (spoilers will follow and I will skip tons).

I love the scene with Mi Nam and Kyung. She misunderstood his way of saying she can like him as that he allows her to become a fan. To hide his disappointment, he hugs her and tells her that she's a special fan and that he welcomes her... you can see though that he's in a super glee mood and all smiles (LOL).

I forgot to mention this in my previous post, but I love the reporter... he's wrapping things up nicely.

I like Shin Woo, but it's getting to the point where he's annoying me. He's forcing things on Mi Nam. He had tons of chances in the past.

I love this scene so much that I laughed like a lunatic.

Kyung sees Mi Nam has joined his fan club and so in order to test her, he sends her a message saying she has to pass a test in order to become a member. What ensues is pure hilarity. She keeps giving him low scores and he averages a 5 and so he goes in for the final kill; How much do you like Hwang Tae-Kyung?

She replies... 100!!!

LOL! Kyung goes into super cute mode and acts like a girl (LOL). He sends her a message (phone) and tells her it's fan meeting time.

Now is another funny part.

Yoo Hey Yi announces herself and wants the boys to make her spaghetti, they don't want to, but she forces them. She's about to eat and Shin Woo whispers to Jeremy...

Shin Woo: "It's not going to taste good, I added lots of salt".
Jeremy: "you too? I added loads of sugar".
Kyung: "I also added something extra".

Just as Yoo Hey Yi is about to take a bite, Mi Nam comes home and she asks Mi Nam to taste it. Mi Nam doesn't mind, but Jeremy steps in and we find out what the secret ingredient was...

Vinegar!!! LOL!

Mi Nam tells Kyung that she and the rest of the gang are going to Busan. He can't come since he's busy and comes up with ways to make Mi Nam come back home the same day (all in vain).

When they reach the airport Hoon Yi announces that Jeremy had a change in schedule and that they have to go with him, so it's her and Shin Woo (damn Hoon Yi). Shin Woo goes all annoying on her telling her to not pretend, let them start a new with their feelings and that he wants to present her as his real girlfriend. He tells her he will wait for her.

Kyung is all paranoid when he finds out what Hoon Yi did, he thinks his score will drop 1 point and he can't allow that (LOL). He goes to the airport, runs around and can't find her. Shin Woo goes inside and he has his answer (I hope he stops). Kyung's outside thinking he can get to Busan in 5 hours and he sees Mi Nam. She didn't go and he hugs her!!!!

Episode 14

*Squeeeeel*

Kyung tells her he likes her!!!! Wo0o0o0o0T! They are all cute together afterwards. Kyung makes Mi Nam feed him and asks her if she likes all kinds of food (has another meaning... kekeke). At the restaurants they talk about random things and Kyung mentions fanfics (lol) and most of the time it involves him, Shin Woo and Jeremy.

A parody ensues (won't spoil it, just watch it)

Jeremy is a big fan of it and he's reading the fic (the above mentioned sequence). He also sees the pic of Kyung and Mi Nam at the airport and wants to confirm something and rushes off.

Kyung and Mi Nam arrive and Hoon Yi asks why Kyung always interferes and Kyung hugs Mi Nam and Mi Nam does her pig nose and Kyung tells Hoon Yi that he's the reason behind the nose (hehehehe he's getting bold). Hoon Yi asks Mi Nam since when and why and Jeremy hears them and aks if it's true and he runs away.

Mi Nam finds him on his magic bus. He tells her to get off. This made me cry.

Jeremy: when you were a boy, I was fine. When I found you were a girl, I was also fine. But that you like Kyung, I'm not OK with it. Why can't it be me?".

He was supposed to make an appearance on a radio station, but instead he sings through the phone. He sings about love (it's dedicated to Mi Nam) and he cries.

Afterwards he goes back to normal and they go eat ice cream.

Kyung is working hard on Hwa Ran's song and he notices Mi Nam hasn't called him. He thinks she's waiting up for him and calls her... she was sleeping! HAHAHA So he wakes her up and makes him accompany him to watch a movie. It was soooooooo cute!!!!!!

Later they are outside and they can't see the stars and so Mi Nam draws one and finds one on her shirt and another one. Kyung asks her to come over and he tells her:

Kyung: "If I do this to you, I bet you can see five":
Mi Nam: "No! You're really going to hit me?!":
Kyung: "1, 2, 3": and he...

KISSES HER!!! OMG! SQUEEEEL MODE ON!!!! *Squeeeeeeeel*

That kiss was so smexy!

All that follows after this, I frigging hate.

That stupid bitch doesn't want Mi Nam and Kyung to be close. She's set on telling Kyung Mi Nam is the child of her lover. Kyung finds out and a hurtful scene starts.

This is too much!!!

In episode 13, the mother superior makes out a prayer to keep both of them shining and to guide them through the darkness... let's hope her prayers will be answered. Hwa Ran is the most hateful person in this series. Mi Nam rips into her and tells that the love she had with her father wasn't love, that that can't be love. Making her dad abandon her mom and she abandon Kyung. She is so right!

Also the kiss scene... yay! other series have their characters kiss once (the big "I love you moment") and then they don't kiss anymore or even hug or be affectionate. Mi Nam and Kyung kissed thrice (one was accidently, the other spur of the moment and this last one was super cute), hugged multiple times and showed lovey dovey moments and I hope that these two last episodes we get more fan service.

I want to cry because I won't be here when the last two episodes air! I will be in Miami *sobs* I will catch up with them after I return, which is the 2nd of December!

You're Beautiful K-drama download

2009-11-17T01:47:17Z

OK so I'm ubber obsessed, it's not something bad X<

I never download dramas since they are too big in size (I should start since I have a DVD burner now), but with You're Beautiful I just couldn't resist. I'm up to episode 7 in downloading *yipeee*. It took me two days to download 6 episodes...

Anyways if you are interested to own the episodes you can go visit ohmyg00dies page (under the tag "you're beautiful". I just couldn't pass up Hwang Tae Kyung, Kan Shin woo & Jeremy XD

I should go to sleep.

You're Beautiful 12

2009-11-14T19:40:47Z

Holy mother!!! This is getting good

This show has shown me over and over again why I love it... don't end (but please do end). I am not sure what will happen in episode 13, but since there is still 4 hours of story to tell, I'm pretty sure there will be a couple of more twists.

The after kissing scene was hysterical since neither knew how to react. Kyung was even funnier doing a fake laugh and saying to Mi Nam: "You're funny" <- lol seriously? Also how he tries to work it out in his head why he did it... keke lol.

Not much happens in between, just that that damn b*tch keeps pissing me off. Anyways the stylist dressed up Go Mi Nam as a girl. I must say Park Shin Hye is very pretty.

Anyways Kyung sees her (thank you Yoo Heeyi, you made him realize it sooner) and mocks her. She cries and shin Woo tells her not to cry because of Tae-Kyung and he tells her that he knows about her feelings.

Kyung is very angry and he sits there to mull it over and Hoon Yi is going through the pics and finds one where Mi Nam is doing her pig nose (dun dun) and Kyung asks why she always does that and Hoon Yi tells him, he browses through the photo's...

Nope not Shin Woo...

Yes, it's you she's always looking at.

He's stunned and can't believe it. Hoon Yi being Hoon Yi tells him to be nicer to her since she looks up to him and that she even kept the cheap pin he bought her, even though it's cheap and on top off it, now broken. He goes through her bags and finds the pin.

I love this scene between Go Mi Nam and Mother Superior so much.

Mi Nam is crying and the Mother Superior comforts her, telling her that Mi Nam's love is beautiful... just lovely.

Mi Nam is sitting and crying when a car comes up to her. It's Kyung and he leaves the headlights on and the scene goes something like this:

Kyung: You can't see me now because of the headlights, but I can see you. Have you been crying like this when I couldn't see you?
Mi Nam: please go on pretending you can't see me.
Kyung: How can I do that when I am looking at you! I want you to look only at me. I give you permission to like me.

I missed a few lines though :( anyways this is getting good. I don't think that with this scene they will start a relationship. Kyung hasn't really confessed... but damn it's good *Squeeeeeel* I have never gone fan girl over a drama before, but I am so obsessed with this show!

You're Beautiful 11

2009-11-13T02:01:04Z

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL

Holy shit this totally shocked me. I usually see the two episodes on Friday (such a kick to watch them back to back), but it's too damn hard to contain myself... I love this series!!!!

Anyways much happened in this episodes as truths were revealed (boy are they huge) and deceptions unfolded. I'm not going into much details about this episode, but it's a good one and we are nearing the end, so it's getting goooood!

Love this scene; Mi Nam got her fingers stuck together (LOL) and Kyung is helping her to get unstuck (LOL).

The best scene has to be the last part, where they have a huge argument... BEST!

Can't wait until tomorrow!

Look what I made XD (images found on the official page for this series)

P.S.: I love this song so much! ;_;

Easy Fortune, Happy Life

2009-11-08T17:26:28Z

I frigging hated this drama! This is the first series I've watched that I wanted the leading lady and the secondary leading guy to be together. This was poorly written and I hated Da Feng.

Summary
The Yan family's company is worth NT$80,000. Grandpa Yan has dropped a bomb on the family, that whoever marries Xu Fu An will inherit the company. Xu Fu An is a country bumpkin living with her grandmother and brother. She is knowledgeable in medicine. Her grandmother's also a medicine woman and when she was young, she fell in love with Grandpa Yan, but grandpa Yan only used her for her medicine recipe and left her with a lie and thus created Bao Bao Company(I think that's the name). Grandpa Yan got sick and started feeling guilty and after learning of Fu An's grandma's death, vowed to protect her and her brother, thus he dropped the bomb on the family. Da Feng is cold and ruthless and only wants the NT$80,000 and hired some guys to go after Fu An and get rid of her. After some devine intervention (grandma you sure are mean) Xu Fu An and Pi Dan (her brother) went to live with they Yan family and thus starts this hateful drama.

Cast
Lan Cheng Long as Yan Da Feng 嚴大風
Chen Qiao En as Xie Fu An 謝福安
Roy Qiu as Han Dong Jie 韓東杰
Jocelyn Wang as Jiang Zhen Zhen 江珍珍
Xiu Jie Kai as Yan Yang 嚴陽

Opinion
As I said before, I hated this drama. Han Dong Jie deserved to be with Fu An. You think that after what Da Feng did to me (Fu An in this case), I'd forgive him? F*CK NO! Han Dong Jie was with her through all her problems, comforted her and just was there. He never grabbed her and lost his chance. I would never forgive (Da Feng) someone for doing that to me. He lied, used her and killed her frigging grandmother (well he didn't commit it, but his action lead her to her death) for crying out loud and for money! He fell in love with her, but does that give him the reason to stay with her? NO! This was poorly written and I watched it till episode 15, cuz I just couldn't take it anymore.

So I rate this one 4/10 (only because Roy was so frigging hot and I just wanted to huggle him and never let go). I hope Roy gets a better role and another drama.

The best part in this whole series came from Roy's character in episode 15

Roy learns whom his grandfather is (the rival of Bao Bao). They have an emotional scene at the hospital in which Dong Jie rips into him. At home he's looking at the picture and there is a date on it, behind the pic there's a note written, where he wishes her daughter a happy b-day. Han Dong Jie meets with him at Lucifer's Restaurant and tells him that his mother left him when he was little and he never knew when her b-day was, so he's happy to have found out and that today the two of them can celebrate her b-day (I cried). It's so touching.

The thing I hated the most (saw the last part of episode 17) they brought in a plain girl whose supposedly is going to be an intern and you see Han Dong Jie looking at her. That's the ending for him... a plain girl! Come on bring him someone whose also a gangster chick style and can match up to him, that suits him! UGH! OK this pissed me off so don't think of watching this series... ever!

Charlie's Bar

2009-11-07T12:40:02Z

Charlie's Bar was founded in 1941 by Charlie and Marie Brouns. It's a unique place unlike any other place. There are tons of memorabilia, autographed pics, dolls, old jackpot slots etc. etc. tons of really cool stuff.

Yesterday a few colleagues of mine went there for Happy Hour. It was fun and it's my kind of place. I took some pics! We drank and ate snack platters (to die for!!!) and we chatted about life in general and the slogan "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" has been transformed in "What happens in Charlie's Bar stays in Charlie's Bar" LOL!

Those are some pics. We've been informed that every 2 years they take down everything and clean them up.

You're Beautiful episode 7-8

2009-11-01T16:14:52Z

OMG!!! The suspense is killing me! This is by far the best drama I've seen so far (#2 is now Fated to Love you). It has everything in it without being boring, predictable or same storyline as countless other dramas. It's just great ! I will use the short version of Tae-kyung's name and will use Kyung for him.

Spoilers will follow below

Episode 7 was really sweet and I cried and was so freaking funny! I was laughing like mad. The part I like best was when Kyung and Mi Nam were sitting near a tree looking at the stars and moon. The line goes something like this: Mi nam says that Kyung is the sun to her.

Go Mi Nam: "So I'm like the moon that's always sticking to the sun".
Kyung: "The stars all shine brightly, but the moon is the only thing I see". <- holy shit that just killed me.

Go Mi Nam says that if it's OK for her to like the star and Kyung tells her to ask the star since she's seeing it. Go Mi Nam is looking at him, while he's looking up at the star trying to find the one Go Mi Nam is talking about. That's just the sweetest scene ever!!! I also loved how Jeremy also got some "aww" moment.

In episode 7 Jeremy tells Go Mi Nam that it isn't a sin to love and that to love is a really great thing and lends him/her a book. This is just sweet, without knowing he totally told her that it's OK to love and that it's not a sin. Just loved this moment.

This is in episode 8. After Go Mi Nam sang her song, she left the studio crying and was comforted by Shin Woo. She later is sitting in the park and wants to be invisible, Jeremy pops up and tells him/her he can see her. They hang out the whole day and Jeremy let's Mi Nam ride his secret magic bus. He tells him/her they'll meet again in an hour and he says:

Jeremy: "Since it's all going back to normal in an hour, just for now let me like you". Aww man this is just killing me.

After that it gets cute again with Kyung and Mi Nam, they are shooting the video for her single and they have to act casually and they start throwing leaves at each other and Kyung tackles her and starts cackling like mad (so damn cute) and Go Mi Nam makes a pig nose (you have to watch the episodes to understand why :) )

Now is the sad part.

It's Kyung's B-day (he celebrates his B-day another day, but that day was the day he was born on) and his mom calls him to come meet her. Kyung acts all bratty saying "Oh now she wants to meet with me" but you can see that he's happy about it. Upon arrival he sees she's not alone. She's with producers and what not. You can see he's sad about it and he excuses himself. His mom follows him and is angry at his behavior. She says that she is planning on telling the media that he's her son and that it will help her (career). She wants him to remake that song for her, she wants that legacy. "Is that how much you loved him" and she says "yes". She says that by having him, she lost the love of her life. He angrily tells her that because of him, his world shattered as well. She angrily tells him:

Hwa Ran: "because I had you, I lost it all. You think it was terrible I abandoned you, but because of you, it was horrible for me to have lost him. Since it's your fault, help me keep that memory".

Holy shit that was so frigging horrible thing to say to your child!

At this moment he's all welled up and turns around and tells her:

Kyung: "f you want to take credit for giving birth to me, at least you should remember when that was".

She is all still and says: "was it today" and he just walks away.

Mi Nam heard and saw it all.

Inside Kyung can't stand the pain any longer and collapses against a wall and starts crying and I cry along with him. Mi Nam watches him and says:

Mi Nam: "Mother superior, in the dark my star is crying, what should I do?"

Reviews: New Anime for October 2009

2009-10-18T15:18:55Z

I will start with the crappiest one, I'm even thinking of dropping it.

Hanato Kobato is a girl whom needs to collect broken hearts in order for her wish to be fulfilled. This series is one of many of Clamp's. I really don't like this one. Kobato is really annoying and grates on my nerves. There is the lead guy who puts Kurogane to shame :) He's hot! I also like Loryogi (?), the stuffed dog. Kobato is from another planet (really, she is, I think) and is unacostumed to the human world and she screws up sometimes... that's the annoying part. I know it just started and maybe after a few more episodes, she will become less annoying... I am giving her one more chance.

This anime has 24 episodes.

Miracle Train is centered around a train that only appears to lost girls. If they are troubled by something, the train will appear and find a way to help the girls. On the train there are 6 train stations (6 good looking guys). I'm not sure about this one. I saw the first episode and I just don't know what to make of this... I think it's kinda pointless. The guy characters are hot!

This anime has 12 episodes.

Inuyasha returns after a 5 years hiatus and will continue where it left off and run until the end. So this time it's the last of Inuyasha (thank god! I can't stand Kikyo). One thing I have to say, I am sooooo pissed they killed Kagura. She died looking at Sesshoumaru... I'd like to die that way... Anyways it's really good so far.

This anime has 26 episodes.

Darker Than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini Follows two years after the first season left off. This time the story takes place in Russia and we see a different Hei. We are not sure why, but maybe the death of Yin... This is still so confusing, but damn this series is good. They start off by killing a lot of the contractors from the first season, I liked April, to be bad she died. I am so looking forward to more!

I am not sure, but they have written on ANN that it's 12 episodes?

Lady Castle & You're Beautiful

2009-10-17T16:55:14Z

Take care of the young lady - aka Lady Castle - aka My Fair Lady etc. etc. (They still can't make up their minds on the name).

Stars actress Yoon Eun Hye (Goong, First Shop of Coffee Prince) and Yoon Sang Hyun (Queen of Housewives). Although the drama came to an end a week ago, if you still haven't watched it, I suggest you do.

Kang Hye Na (Yoon Eun Hye) is a spoiled rich brat, whose grandfather owns one of the biggest companies in Korea. Seo Dong Chang (Yoon Sang Hyun) is a retired host, whose mother's death gave him a big debt. He's trying hard to pay the loan sharks. He meets Kang Hye Na when she rams her car in his truck, so ensues a dangerous cat & mouse play between the two, until Seo Dong Chan wins by becoming her personal buttler. They soon become very close and Seo Dong Chan helps her to become a strong person. She meets the love of her life, Lee Tae Yoon (Return of Iljimae actor Jung Il Woo), but she soon starts having feelings for Seo Dong Chan.

It's a cute drama, funny and I love Yoon Sang Hyun (he can sing! He's hot and is adorable when he smiles). Yoon Eun Hye is so pretty in this one, the dyed her hair red (o0).

I give it 8/10 ^^

You're Beautiful

Stars Jang Geun Suk (Baby & I, Beethoven Virus) and Park Shin Hye (Goong S) as members of an Idol Group called A.N. Jell (Angel anyone?)

From L-R; Jung Yong Hwa (Kang Shin Woo), Park Shin Hye (Go Mi Nam/Go Mi Nyu), Hjang Geun Suk (Hwang Tae Kyung), Lee Hong Ki (Jeremy).

Jemma (Park) is a nun in training when one day, a man tells her to pretend to be her twin brother, Go Mi Nam. She refuses, but fates has her deciding to accept. Hwang Tae Kyung is reluctant to accept him and makes her sing. She sings a church hymn that has Kyung accepting him/her in the band. Fate decided to be crueler to her by having her screw up everything that has to do with Kyung. To make things worse, Shin Woo knows she's a girl and now so does Kyung, Jeremy is the only one missing half of his brain (LOL). But Go Mi Nam (er..) has decided she will stay no matter what, because her brothers dream was to find their mother.

This is too funny! It's really cute and Kyung is so freaking hot!!! He gets so paranoid over her, it's too funny to watch. He gets into all kinds of bad situation because of her... so hillarious. You still have a chance to catch this series, as it's still airing.

Not rating this one yet.

All of these series you can find by heading over to Mysoju and for the OST for "Take care of the young Lady" head over My Sugoi

Inuyasha & FMA: Brotherhood

2009-10-05T01:35:58Z

I'm happy to announce that I watched the first episode of the new season of Inuyasha!!! This season hopefully marks the end of Inuyasha. I followed Inuyasha for a long time now and I hope this marks the end.

Also on a very sad note, FMA: Brotherhood episode 26 is out and things are unraveling. I loved the first version of FMA. It was good, this one... I cry too damn much! It's too sad and depressing, but yet I can't stop watching it, it's damn good.

In this episode Ed and Lin are trying to get out of Gluttony and Ed comes with a plan to get them safely through, while traveling back to the door, he sees a lone figure sitting there with long hair... at first I thought that must be Ed, but it wasn't... just thinking about it, I well up. It's Alphonse.

That was one sad moment... that tops all the sad moments in FMA and Hughes death was first. This damn anime better end soon!

Ponyo

2009-09-30T00:02:45Z

Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo!!!

I saw this movie recently (big Hayao Miyazaki fan) and I must say that Howl's Moving Castle is still his best one (my opinion, Castle in the Sky comes second).

I found Ponyo very charming and adorable, but sometimes it dragged (no dialogue). The artwork is amazing (duh) and love the characters. Miyazaki is a genius!!! If you haven't watched Ponyo yet, I suggest you do.

If you missed what the story is about... Ponyo is a goldfish who wants freedom, swims ashore and meets a boy. She then longs to become human to be with the little boy. No drama, just a sweet story.

My New Tattoo

2009-09-14T01:50:03Z

I got my second tattoo yesterday. My uncle is a tattoo artist so it's convenient XD

I got it on my wrist... that sucker hurt like mad! My first one didn't hurt, but this one... holy moly! It didn't take long, but when it heals, I have to go to fix some of it.

It's characters from tokidoki, well as close as it could get 'cuz my wrist is tiny, but looks awesome!

Here it is:

San Nicolas Branch

2009-09-02T00:16:23Z

Today was my first day at the Aruba Bank's San Nicolas branch. I had an adventure getting to work (took the wrong bus, so had an extra 15 min. trip... oops). It's a nice place. Customer friendly (so far) and the people there are nice. Had another adventure getting back home (got on the right bus though). It was OK. I can now say I've worked at ALL the branches (wo0o0o0o0). Can't wait for my car to get ready!!!

Also if you want to listen to good music, I advise you to listen to 98 rock on iTunes. Love that station and the presenters (if you call them that) are really cool to listen to and can talk shit.

Anime Line-up DEF!!! gonna watch

2009-08-30T17:49:53Z

OK right now there are no good anime's out there for me to watch. Most are targeted for guys and the girls are left hanging. My fave ones ended or are on a break (damn you FMA!!!) and Bleach has gone to filler mode (AGAIN!).

Anyways the anime line-up that are coming up are so yummy!!!! I can not wait! Hope they get subbed QUICKLY!

Blood: The Last Vampire

2009-08-24T05:03:51Z

I saw this movie last night... OMG!! It SUCKED!!!!

The beginning was good, then she went to the military base and everything went to shit. The girl Alice just pissed me off. She was an annoying pest that could have been left out. Next was the "blood suckers" (holy shit, the special effects sucked!) the "blood suckers" were ugly as hell (that's the point) but really badly done. I think they could have come up with something better had they watched Blood+ (the Chiropterans are better done in the anime). Oh let's not forget to mention the epic battle between Saya and Onigen. Well it sucked. Onigen did the "I am your mother" thing and then Saya just killed her. Easy as 1, 2 & 3. The ending... well we see a buzzed Alice in interrogation. Instead of conjuring up a story, she tells them the truth and she looks like someone on a powerful drug... it was bad.

The fighting scenes were alright and it was gory (fake blood spurting everywhere!) as there were people being blown apart. It was really idiotic.

I think the problem lies with the movie being done in English and having an American cast. I didn't see the anime version of this. I only saw Blood+ and if they did a story similar to Blood+ this would have been a good movie.
