Love Rain (Korean drama)

2012-11-09T05:04:00.002-08:00

There's just few days left before the start of another semester and by that time I will be very busy again in many school stuffs.

I know a lot of you guys out there are a fan of k-pop and Korean dramas who wouldn't be? with their stylish looks, inviting setting of every scene in the drama, catchy songs and cute stuffs you'll probably get hooked and be a fan!

I just finished watching a K-drama entitled "Love Rain", actually I'm just planning to watch only "SungKyunKwan Scandal" but I got curious on the story of this drama so I give it a try. First episodes immediately gave me a reason to cry and to be sad.

70's

Yoon Hee and In Ha, they love each other so much. It's really saddenning because they cannot be with each other no matter what they tried to do, there are so many hindrances and people against them.

In Ha thinks of others feeling first before him, so he just tolerated what is happening knowing his very close male friend Dong Wook has the same feelings for Yoon Hee.

It really hurts when you see the one you love with someone else :"(

Hye Jung saw the portraits of Yoon Hee

Truth hurts. Hye Jung just can't accept the fact that it's Yoon Hee whose inside In Ha's heart.

Because of Yoon Hee's serious illness she had to move to the United States together with her grandmother for her treatment.

In the end, Yoon Hee and In Ha had to separate... :(

Modern Time

Hana and Joon's first meeting

The idea that Joon's dad (In Ha) fell in love so deeply within just 3 seconds and Joon can easily seduce girls in 3 seconds is just so cool for me. (hana, dhul, seht! *ching* --love is in the air!)

THE BOYS

Omo! I totally envy Hana (Yoona of SNSD) she is surrounded with many handsome and hot guys! >.<

Tae-sung (Kim Young Kwang), Hana's sunbae (senior/mentor) and first love.

Action speaks louder than words. Sun Ho (Kim Si Hoo), may not say it but his actions shows that he really cares for Hana, he is the wall that would just listen to whatever Hana wants to say.

FAVORITE SCENES

Omo! Omo! This is where the hot kiss happens. Oh gosh! I can't breathe while watching this scene it's just so hot and Joon (Jang Keun Suk) is so manly here. The background music (Kiss by Tom Jones) added flavor to the scene.

The Proposal

This scene really made my heart jump, it's just so sweet especially when Joon spill out the magic word "Will you marry me?". Ahh! I shouted and jump in our living room like crazy! And when Hana says her yes, the smile in my face went from ear to ear as if I'm Hana.

The Wedding

What's next after a sweet and heartwarming proposal? Ofcourse the wedding!

Maybe their parents (Yoon Hee and In Ha) are not fated to be with each other as lovers because the diary of love have already set their love story. <3

CUTE STUFFS/ MEMORABILIA

"Love means never having to say you're sorry"

The Watch and Diary

In the 70's In Ha gave Yoon Hee a watch because once she said that he loses her watch given by her parents. Also in the modern time Yoon Hee gave In Ha a watch.

The Diary of Yoon Hee consists of all her love expectations and some background of her life and family.

When In Ha (Joon's dad) saw Yoon Hee from the windows of I think building of Arts Department, he immediately draw her. In Ha says that the only girl she will paint is the girl he loves (so sweet!).

The Necklace

In Ha gave this necklace to Yoon Hee expecting that she would accept it, but later on Yoon Hee wears the necklace.

The Couple Ring

The ring was bought by Hana and it was really intended for Tae-sung but some things just happened and came to their lives that's why it became Joon and Hana's couple ring. It was also used when Joon asked Hana who will she choose, at the bridge where many says that if a couple watches the mist in the river together they will live happily..Hana wears the ring to Joon's finger meaning she chooses him.

First, watching the Diamond Snow together in Japan and Second watching the mist in the river which both promises a happy love story for a couple like them :) (Just cute!)

CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE 2: The Missing Years?

2012-06-09T02:26:00.000-07:00

Who didn't fall in love in this movie? I can watch it over and over again! :)

Crazy Little Thing Called Love (CLTCL) is based on true story of everyone . It is about a young girl named Nam. She is a very unattractive girl with big nerdy glasses and a dark skin tone. She has a big crush on Shone, whose handsome and very popular on girls in their school. In order to be recognized by Shone, Nam did things that she doesn't normally do like applying in classical dancer club, playing a lead role in a stage drama, being a drum major, improving her physical looks and be better at studying. But seems like all of her efforts were hardly noticed by Shone.

CONFESSION

HEARTBREAK

I also cried on this scene. :''(

But behind all of it...

was him.. who's secretly loving her

HAPPY ENDING :)

CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE PART 2?

All of us wanted a sequel for this movie, first of all because of its ending you will really crave for more! But because it is based on a real life story, the producer (SahaMongkol Media) who made the movie wanted to end this with a strong impact to its audience, so for a sequel to be released.. is far from reality.

From a fan of CLTCL:

But... there's a good news for all the fans out there!

The Sahamongkolfilm International confirmed that the long awaited Part two of this inspirational movie is now in its pre-production.

Now all we have to do is wait until the release of its sequel. This will surely become another hit like the first one.

CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE :)

Let's hope for the best!

Let's talk about problems

2012-05-29T23:21:00.003-07:00

Everyone has a problem. No person could say that he or she never experienced having a problem. We just differ on how we handle these problems.

Top 3 problems in life

Photo credits goes to its rightful owner

1. Money- I really hate it when people fight because of money.It's true that you can't live without money because almost everything in this world isn't for free, if you want something you should buy it. That's why I can't blame those people who are willing to do anything just to have money. But our world should not stop because of money, its not worth fighting for even if we need it badly, we shouldn't do things that can put us to a more worst situation. If we will let money control our lives nothing will ever go right.

Photo credits goes to its rightful owner

2. Family- If there's no perfect person, there's also what you called "unideal family". Sometimes this is the reason behind the unlikeable manners of bully, quiet and violent people. Parents fight in front of their children. Husband or wife cheating on their other half. Parents who uses violence as disciplinary actions. Favoritism, lack of attention and other family problems.

Parents, they are the one who should guide and protect their children. They shouldn't be the one who would bring them in danger. They shouldn't be the one who will let their children feel alone and unloved. Family is a child's foundation. Before anything and everything, first lesson in life are learned from home.

Photo credits goes to its rightful owner

3. Love- Nowadays relationships gets shorter and shorter. Some people treat love as game or past time and not a serious thing at all. Others just want to have relationship with the opposite sex or with the same sex because they can't find the attention and love they wanted from the persons they considered as loved one. Because of this they end up in a wrong relationship. Quarrels, blaming oneself and the other and misunderstandings are always in the air.

Love shouldn't be treated like this. Its a gift from God that we must cherish. Having someone who could make you smile when your down, a shoulder to lean on, a best friend, a lover and the feeling of undefined happiness is great isn't it?

Cosplay in the Philippines

2012-05-04T00:08:00.001-07:00

COSPLAY short term used for "costume play", this kind of art originated in Japan where anime,manga and J-pop music are also popular. Unlike what others think, cosplaying doesn't only centered on role playing a character from anime,manga or video games it includes fictional characters and famous artists as long as it can be cosplayed.

In order for a cosplayer to portray the character well, he must love the character. A person who knows every detail about the anime, manga or character he loves is often called an otaku.
Cosplayers also catches the attention of many photographers especially those freelance photographers. This is because some of the cosplayers exhibit their photos in their own websites and others use their photos to give or sell to their fans. Cosplay has become popular in other countries including the Philippines.

In the Philippines cosplay is also becoming an interest of many teenagers even adults. You could often see cosplayers in malls where cosplay events are usually held, like SM Megamall and SM Mall of Asia where a lot of Cosplaying Contest, Conventions and other related activities are held. Even while walking in the streets or going to school you could see some of them.

ASIANOVELAS in every Filipinos Heart

2012-04-23T02:23:00.003-07:00

I don't know when did all Korean drama, Taiwanese and Japanese drama started to invade the television of every Filipino.

But early this morning, while I was cleaning our house I saw pieces of paper with a list of different titles (and I think it's a title of shows) like Beautiful days, My MVP Valentine and Endless love. And I remembered back when I was in grade five I used to write every title of Korean or Taiwanese drama on that pieces of paper. I even write their titles at the back of my notebook, books and keychain of my bag. All the drama that I listed in that paper was all aired in one TV station. When I was a kid, I don't like watching other shows from other channels that's why I only watched Asianovelas on that TV station.

The actual papers ^_^

Here are the listed titles:

1. Beautiful days
2. My MVP Valentine
    * I'm a big fan of this series from its first airing to the end, I always make sure I watched every episode of it. I also have a collection of posters of the series.

3. Endless love (Autumn in my heart)
    * I cried a river in this drama. After watching its finale, I cannot sleep at all because I thought the leading man and the leading lady will finally get the love they wanted. It's really sad. =(

4. Bright Girl
    * I think this is the first ever Korean drama that was aired here in the Philippines.

5. The Poor Prince
    * The Leading actor here is Vic Zhou from Meteor Garden.
6. Miki Loves Yuu
7. My Love Cindy
8. Lavender
    * When this was aired in television, it was the time when those "lavender" became popular, even the stores outside our school sell them but it's not real it's just for fun. Lavender is another sad story, I cried a lot too in this drama.

This is my own lavender item. :) This is the one that is sold outside our school when I was in elementary.

9. Love Talks
10. Secretly in Love
11. A promise of love at the dolphin bay

My own dolphin figurine! I bought it when A promise of love starts airing on the television, I also start to love dolphins because of the drama.

12. Funny Wild Girl
13. In love with angel
14. Starry Starry Night
15. Loving You
16. Love Letter
17. Endless Love II (Winter Sonata)
18. Endless Love III (Summer Scent)
* I used to be a fan of Britney Spears, so when I heard on the television that a song of her was used to be a background music or theme song of EL 3 I was so happy. Actually it's not really a part of the theme songs of EL 3 it's just used by the TV station, I think to add some good atmosphere while watching the drama.
"Everytime" is the song of Britney Spears used in the drama.

19. Twin Sister
20. Guardian Angel
21. Snow Angel
22. Stairway to Heaven
23. White book of love
24. Glass Shoes
25. Full House
26. All About Eve
* Very intense! It will make you feel angry like you never experience before (me and my cousin was so into it, that's why everytime the leading actress was hurt,sad or happy we feel for her too).
27. Sweet 18
28. Irene
29. Senorita Mae Mae
30. Attic Cat
31. Sassy Girl
32. My 19 year old sister in law
33. Jewel in the Palace
34. Friends
35. Frog Prince
36. Romance
37. Date with Tifanny
38. 18 vs. 29
39. First Love of a Royal Prince
40. Sad Love Song
41. Le Robe de Marriage
42. My name is Kim Sam Soon
43. Love Story in Harvard
44. Gokusen
45. Love of the Condor Heroes
46. Ms. Kim's Million dollar quest

As you can see I stopped listing the titles at "Ms. Kim's Million dollar quest", because I got tired of listing them all and I think if I will list them all a piece of paper is not enough.

Today, a lot of nice Asianovelas are still there, making us Filipinos cry, laugh, dream and love over and over again!

Here are some other good A-Novelas which are not listed above that also aired here in the Philippines:

1. Meteor Garden

DREAM HIGH!

2012-04-14T23:00:00.000-07:00

I was first captivated by the theme song of this drama. At first I really don't know what its all about. My friends keep on telling me that it is a must-watched drama series, so because of curiosity I downloaded Dream High.

I was already by just watching its first episode. As I continue watching, I remembered my dreams in life. I remembered all of my failures in life, how to not lose hope and just keep moving on.

Dream High is not just your ordinary K-drama, it isn't just about love or a husband cheating to his wife. It is more of an educational drama but not in a boring way. With the help of catchy musics and oh-so-good dance moves, dreaming high could never be that easy.

What are your dreams in life? Share it to the whole world and don't be afraid to DREAM HIGH! :)

Here are some of the songs from DREAM HIGH:

* Someday - IU

* Genie (Tell me your wish) - SNSD

* My Valentine - Taecyeon & Nichkhun (2PM)

* Maybe - Sunye

* Winter Child - Suzy (Miss A)

* Marshmallow - IU

* Dreaming - Kim Soo Hyun

* Dream High - Taecyeon, Suzy, Joo, Wooyoung, Kim So Hyun

For a full list of songs from DREAM HIGH you can go to this site:

It has all the songs used in the drama from start to finish. :)

DREAM HIGH 2

I was so excited when I finished downloading Dream High 2. I was really hoping that it would also turn out great because its first season was really good they even got to manage organizing a special concert for its success.

But I was a little disappointed because I never felt the drama at all, from start to finish it was just too plain for me. Unlike its first season, here I never felt on dreaming high its more of 'loving high' because of existing love triangles between the characters you wouldn't even notice how they've gotten their dreams.

Nevertheless, its still good. If it was determination in Dream High, well what could I say? They used inspiration in Dream High 2.

Here are some of the songs from DREAM HIGH 2:

* Super Star- T-Ara's Jiyeon, Ailee, SISTAR's Hyorin

* Hello to myself- Wondergirl's Yenny

* B Class life- 2AM's Jinwoon, Kim Ji Soo, JR, Kang Sora

* Together (JB and Ji Yeon)
