sincerity

2012-02-02T08:52:00.001+07:00

Just yesterday I watched on TV someone quite famous has died of his sickness.It got me thinking of something crucial about human being, about being sincere. It reminded me of one Korean Drama I've watched before, 49days, especially the part when the soul reaper showed the lost soul of a coma girl one funeral scene and taught her about sincerity based on tears. There are tears of happiness - happy because of someone's death, symbolized by black colored tears.Questionable or mixed feeling tears-between sad and happy, sad because of losing someone important and happy out of greed because of the insurance policy or the inheritance s/he will get, symbolized by colorful tears.Tears of courtesy or as act of manner, just because of the situation and being polite someone shed the tears without feeling truly sad,symbolized by red colored tears. The last one is tears of sincerity, whereas usually shed by family member like parent or siblings who has true love towards the one who passed away, symbolized by crystal clear tears.

As i saw it on the news, i kept thinking the tears of his friends, was it real or fake? was it truly come from the heart or just another act of modesty to gain some sympathy?well i would never knew that anyway, cause the depth of one's heart can never be discovered by other but only him/herself and the Mighty God. I just hope I can always be sincere and honest to everyone I love,always return their feeling, their trust with the same amount or even more and never betray or hurt them as long as I live.I hope they can feel it, cause nothing really matter the most but share the true bond of affection that comes from sincerity.I do believe in karma,it's like getting what we deserve, if we do good deed it will return to us the same way or even better, however if we do bad things, then just prepare ourselves for the consequences, even the worst nightmare we'll ever get.

the princess man, 49 days (Korean Drama 2011)

The Princess man

49 days

Synopsis: a lost soul search for a sincerity.click here for complete info.

Review after watching: First, the princess man (tPM), The beginning was promising and I thought the story line would be lighter than all the previous dramas I've watched before,such as Iljimae, painter of the wind, etc, but I was wrong. This was the exact mainstream of Korean drama with old time setting.In the end, the protagonists who had suffered a lot gained a little bit of happiness meanwhile the antagonists didn't get what he deserved. I know revenge is not the solution, however its not the best choice either for the ending of the story by making the protagonists became so wise and forgiving toward the enemies who have killed his family members. All in the name of love, what a tiring love story, quite predictable,although the chemistry built rather nicely between the main casts.Overall, quite nice about the love story but so so for the whole plot.

And now about the 2nd drama, 49days. Actually my sis offered me to watch the DVD a few weeks before its aired on the local TV(currently still airing) but that time I wasn't interested. After I watched several episodes, I decided to borrow it to watch the whole episodes without waiting everyday for it. It was interesting, also offered some funny parts where we can laugh but on the other hand, cried a lot because of some devastating scenes. It worshiped the divinity of love, taught us the real human figures and personalities, ambitions,etc. We may see what we want to see, but not what we need to see.I may expect the ending to be different but its also reasonable with what they showed anyway.

comment:It's a good drama, although somehow reminded me of 'Painter of the wind', when the prettiest gisaeng had a crush on yoon hee who pretends to be a guy.Overall it's a good drama and enjoyable to watch. currently airing in local TV.Inside the story the writer of the scenario cleverly mentioned about the forbidden love between the same sex/gender. Well, in the end it will be other than that, a happy ending of a normal couple.

comment: currently airing in one local TV. quite interesting,but the pace is too slow. the plot should be tighten and faster.It's pretty similar to the drama I've watched before,'wife temptation'; although the drama I've mentioned just now shared great intrigues, faster plot, good ratings, acting and unpredictable scenario. The only thing that catch my interest is only because I'm wondering how they wrapped the end of this story.
Something I learn along the way, there's no end to greed over money or revenge, it can never satisfy our soul or bring peace to our life, for God has a secret plan for us behind every disaster we've been through.

pretend to be blind

2011-12-03T17:02:00.004+07:00

When I read this article, I was like waah, how exaggerating the leader of my country was. He spent a lot of money by closing his eyes of how poor most of the citizens are, just to celebrate his 2nd son's wedding.

I had enough of this shitty news about the government, the parliament, the politics, especially their life style. As if they were greedy rats who eat out all, everything even if it means killing the rights of millions of people.
They should be ashamed of themselves, for they were to be claimed as well or high educated people,but the reality is, they act as bunch of people who'd never taste the sweet life full of luxury. They have been turned themselves as shallow-minded pygmies who act like the devil after consumed the corruption and gratification money. Not to mention the money laundry to feed their disgusting appetite of wealth and power.

I wonder where their consciousnesses have gone? are they no longer human for they have lost their humanity towards other? or their brain are just too stupid to think too much but only about their own.

I'm sick of them, and never felt proud of them even a bit. They have put money above everything, turned it as their mighty God.What a silly and stupid people. True God won't see how good you are about money, power, education but your devotion towards Him.

comment: I watched last night, and this one was a very good movie :). recommended to watch. Just to add a little bit more, when we're watching this movie, it would be better if we don't miss every single scene cause it will be confusing if we do.fast plot, quick moving from scene to scene, every angle carefully built and taken. It's one good movie for people who seek the quality and not only entertainment.

Its recommended for teenager to fill their youth with something useful rather than waste it for nothing.

it's all in your head

2011-11-29T20:35:00.001+07:00

Hello!

are you there? are you alive?.If you try to talk to someone whose not even understand what you mean, then it's useless. Hey I'm not ms perfect, I don't even try to be one, not at all, just try to do the best.That's all.

If I have new friend, I will always being cautious not that I don't trust them but never want to let anyone get into my personal life that easy.However, one thing for sure, I will never make anything that will cost anyone's damage.If I start to trust them I will slowly reveal the real me.

I divide my personal life which is the real life in the real world and my professional life,including my hobby which is mostly connect to my imagination. I never put a limit to my imagination cause it's not something I've done in real life. I respect and appreciate my life very much to the point of keeping myself from being influenced by other that easy. I believe my religion wholly, I never had any doubt in it, and I never let myself intentionally drown in sins or things that forbidden by the rule. Take a simple thing, shaking hands with a man, watch a movie in a cinema,etc. I'm a very conservative person concerning my personal life.Even my ex-bosses whose coming from Europe appreciate my principles.They never force themselves to shake hands and we respect our own religion our own way of life.I don't care if they as western people, drink alcohol or live together without marriage, I don't care as long as I didn't do the same and stick to my own believe.I respect and appreciate their decision and they do the same with mine.

As for my professional life and hobby, I've never restrained myself to do things that I like.I've never set a limit to my imagination because imagination is not something real, it's an idea, a fiction.I've designed so many clothes, short pants, daring clothes or tend to pervy comics but I didn't do that in real life, I didn't even wear tight pants and clothes for crying out loud.

How unfortunate if some people judged me only for what i chose.I'm a person who love peace, and I try my best to fit in the society without making them uneasy because of my existence.I thought every one I knew is the same as they suppose to be,a mature and grown up person who would kindly and willingly accept to be criticize.Hence, I often let myself being criticized if it makes me better,but I was wrong. Some people still trapped in a mature body with a childish personality from years ago.

Yo! wake up! good friends will tell you the truth not the sweet lies.I didn't act to be nice with hidden purpose, I just want to help if i can help as a friend.I don't know who the hell are you for God sake, but if it's a bitter criticism that will make you a better person why don't you just take it or leave it,just as simple as that, period.Not by trying to make quick analysis on something you hardly knew. I've been through a lot but you'll never understand since we don't speak and comprehend 'the same language'.It's all up to you now, I don't care with whatever you do or want, I will never bother to care anymore.it's your life, and it's my life.we live it our way. Don't expect anyone would understand you always when you don't try to do the same.

comment: This is a good movie.I finished watching it like 2days ago. The plot was great and really entertaining.love it :) I bet the place where they shoot this movie is mostly green layer :P for the effect of the computer used is i think more than 50%.Sadly, in the end there was no happy ending cause Thor is separated with the girl he loves by place and space.

comment: I watched 2 episodes of this drama very early in the morning around 3-4 AM, when I got insomnia a couple of days ago. This is so predictable, since I can guess the overall story of this drama after that 2 eps. Nonetheless, I still want to see the end of this drama and how the resolution is going to be.It's quite nice for early entertainment, although for the chemistry, it was less better than Meteor Garden and Mars.

comment: I just finished watching this movie a couple of minutes ago, well, I must say, this movie was rather boring. The story line is too simple and quite predictable. As other typical superheroes story, accept the dark knight, the main characters were a pair of what so called perfect couple, so this was just too good to be true. the guy saved the girl, bla bla.It was so much different for the eagerness I had if I compared it with the X-men:1st class and Pirates of Caribbean.Ryan Reynolds just less expressive compare to Tobey Maguire when he portrayed Spiderman and less chemistry with the girl character, also why the bad guy has to be that ugly?. Now I wonder about Captain America, I hope it's better than this.

Sensei/teacher, this is simply 'Amazing'

2011-10-13T22:07:00.001+07:00

I've been thinking and wondering lately then the questions just suddenly popped up and surround me.Is it fair to claim things that you don't deserve to have? is it fair for good people got rid by cheater?Is it fair to treat kind people by misuse their generosity?is it fair to judge smarter and lazier people into the same level without ever trying to distinguish the differences? And you know what? it's happening in real life! it's SIMPLY AMAZING.

I know life was never meant to be easy but I just can't stand to leave it this way. As if I watch the movie, I don't want the protagonist to be the loser but the winner and I think all people would agree with me on this.I can't understand why on earth this is happening all the time.Good, honest, smart people lost because of the unfairness from some bad, cheater, lazy people.I do believe we would get a good thing if we do goodness towards other, and in the opposite bad things will happen as a karma when we do awful things.However, the good thing that suppose to happen just ain't happening because of -God knows why- recklessness of some people who claimed themselves smarter, a know-it-all loser who never even care to take a look at themselves for once and do things right.

Nobody I mean NOBODY can guarantee once they get older they'll get wiser, better, kinder,not at all. Some people just choose to stuck on their childish personality and refuse to look at things in other perspective.It makes me sick to my stomach to deal with such people. Nobody can assure themselves of becoming highly intelligent creature after studying for years and had a prerogative right to underestimate younger people than them.Please look at everyone in closer view and learn their effort and feeling, for they are also try hard, at least some people are trying hard to do their best. Don't kill the passion for studying by giving unfair judgement towards them,towards us.All in the name of good and noble occupation and profession to lead one better generation for the future of this nation.I do believe good guidance would bring good result.try to forget about faces, names, appearance as if you're blindfolded so that u can't see anything and simply do the right thing with your heart and conscious mind.

live honest for I believe we'll get blessed and bigger outcome/feedback from the actions.

Desire(Kotano Kenichi) - Manga

2011-10-08T12:10:00.006+07:00

synopsis: Takashi Fujii is an elite salaryman who had graduated from a high class university. One day he meets a mysterious lady by the name Rikaco, and his 'DESIRE' starts to silently, but intensely burn... for more info you can Google it :P

comment: If you can guess from the cover of the manga, then you'll know what type of manga it is. This is for adult, +18 reader, seinen, ecchi, whatever you might call it for mature viewers.

The story is close to daily life of one salaryman, about his experiences for coming across so many beautiful girls(which is really imaginative) and shares a 'romantic moments' with them.At first, it was really interesting with the Rikaco character appearance,but somehow after several chapters, she's missing in story without proper explanation.The rest of the story was about having one night stand after one time bumping to each other,or meeting people from the past. If this was the pioneer which released earlier before Virgin Na Kankei and Love junkies, then the two I mentioned later on were the followers for sharing typical almost similar stories. I partly disturbed by the ecchi thing but I love the twist and turn in the plot along the story, where the main character is not just a player or cheater who stupidly gave up only on his lust which were described in the other 2 manga.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

2011-10-08T10:55:00.004+07:00

It's not merely seven words without meaning. It has deep perspective of how we see each other as social being with the needs that would drawn us in one place, one point of view. It's a bond of brotherhood and sisterhood which sometimes even closer than real siblings ever will be.There are pureness, sincerity, kindness, honesty, respect,appreciation,as the ropes of hopes for life, for future in a long term relationship.Holding hands, trust your life to the other, sharing the good and bad times, remembering the obstacles you've been through, acknowledging their existences, are some of the applied forms of those ropes.

However, when one of you neglecting the essence of it and doing the reversal application, then there will be a session to start questioning yourself,what's wrong? or what exactly did i do wrong this time?. Thus, not all the questions will get proper answers but wider and larger mystery concerning human's heart. You will only find a dead end for no one will ever knows the depth of the heart and mind but themselves and God.

Human is capable of acting true,pure and honest as a bare naked body that visible for anyone to see or hid behind the mask to cover all the stinky thoughts they don't want others to know. Between black,white, there is always grey. I don't want to be black, but I'm not too white either, just one thing for sure, I try as much as I can not to turn into grey. In brief, I will not hold on to the hands who let me go like I was invisible, because to make a sound from a clap needs 2hands and not one.

you're my pet / kimi wa petto 2 versions

2011-10-06T09:46:00.004+07:00

You're my Pet/Kimi wa Petto is a 2003 Japanese Drama with manga-based story from the same name created by Ogawa Yayoi.

Recently, this popular drama/manga romantic comedy story has been remake in Korean version but not in form of drama like the previous Hana Yori Dango-Boys before Flowers and Itazura Na kiss-Playful kiss, instead this is directly made into movie. The duo of Koyuki(Sumire) and Matsujun(Momo/Takeshi) will be portrayed by Kim Ha neul and Jang Geun Suk.

I can't wait to see the latest version since I already watched the previous version more than 3 times and fave it so much.It will be a huge pressure for the new casts to bring the story into Korean taste and also satisfy the fans of this drama/manga at the same time.Well we'll just have to wait and see. Although I must say the trailer on Youtube rather not really convincing, or is it maybe because I'm a big fan of Japanese drama comedy.I might add later on after watching it.
this is the info about the drama and this is about the movie

comment:This is another Korean manhwa that I start reading for like a few months ago,however the story is getting annoying after a few chapter.Unlike Japanese shojo manga that is sometimes unpredictable, this manhwa is very predictable and typical mainstream of Korean love story.

Golden Boy /Kindan no Aku (manga)

2011-09-30T23:14:00.005+07:00

synopsis: Oe Kintarou is a Tokyo University Law School dropout. However, he had completed all the course work needed to graduate before leaving school. Since then, he has wandered through many jobs all over Japan as a student of life with little more than a journal, a pen, and his trusty mountain bike (the Mikazuki 5). On his journeys, he runs into various compromising situations with beautiful women, and he must use his unique talents as a jack-of-all-trades to survive, let alone have a chance to find his true calling in life. But he is far more skilled than he appears, and he is determined to succeed no matter what he does. He could be the man who will save Japan--no, the world... or maybe not. Packed with hilarious hi-jinks, lots of ecchi, ramen noodles, gracious kindness, and even some toilet hugging, Golden Boy is full of non-stop fun.

comment: Well, I read the manga earlier today from the very beginning.At first, I found it very interesting and inspiring, however as I read the next volume, I have to say that I got a little bit disappointed, especially the part when the chapters about Kongouji's story and the girl band. Some part of the story also didn't make sense to me, I mean, it can't be like that although this is just a manga. In brief, although I haven't finish reading all the chapters, I need to say that it was an unfortunate for something which started of good had to change this way.this is for mature reader above 18.

comment: I started reading this manhwa because I was interested in the art, a very well-drawn comic and theme for the storyline.however as I read it chapter by chapter I began to get bored and tired with the plot and typical conflicts I found in Korean mainstream. so I didn't let myself so eager to read it as for the story is no longer attractive.

comment: the movie is interesting, although I need to say this is for +18 audience. Willingly Taking benefit of each other between the cougars and the boys was the main idea in the storyline, and the good thing is, this movie also provided the hidden moral value for the viewers about family matters.
