i love him already... Saranghae Jang Geun Suk

I started watching the Korean drama series entitled You're Beautiful and I think I've fallen in love with Geun Suk!!! He's a real hottie!! He doesn't look like he's only 23 years old (turning 24 on Aug 4 -- yes, I know his birthday already!! hahahaha!!).  He looks more like late 20s to early 30s, and that makes him a lot yummier! He's so sexy... and dang, I love the eyes!!  Especially when he smiles!! Oh, he sings great too!!! He's ruggedly handsome and very, very sexy! Where can I find someone like him??? Tell me please?!! 

JGS's really cute pout in You're Beautiful... I can kiss him right there!! =P

I like this look better, more mature and manly! Ugh! He's too gorgeous!! ;)

Anyways, I was browsing through youtube, waiting for someone to upload more of this drama series when i came across this vid where Suk sang this song which made me cry while I was watching the scene.  This is the last episode, I had to skip several episodes because I cannot find them anywhere in the internet.  I have to look for the DVD and buy it.  

Here's the song he sang:

Here's the link of the last scene via mysoju :  Episode 16 part 5 , the translation of the song is there... and of course, the happy ending :)


Translation (bear with it though, it seems to be a direct translation so it sometimes doesn't make sense):


For every step I send you away my tears flow
For every step that you go away my tears flow again
You're going to a place where I can't reach, 
Even if I spread my hands
But unable to stop you and I stand here crying.


Chorus:
What do I do? What do I do?
You are going away
What do I do? What do I do?
You're leaving me here
I love you, I love you
Even if I call it out you can't hear it
Because I'm only yelling it inside my heart


All day I try to erase you, but I remember you
All day I say goodbye, but I only remember you
You're going to a place where I can't reach, 

Even if I spread my hands
But unable to find you and I stand here crying. (chorus)

What do I do? What do I do?

You're the only one for me

What can I do? What can I do?

You're going away

What do I do? What do I do?
You're leaving me here
I love you, I love you

Even if I call it out you can't hear it

Because I'm only yelling it inside my heart

Koreanovela addiction

I just finished watching the Korean romantic comedy series Playful Kiss a couple of days ago starred by  Kim Hyun Joong, also known as Ji Hoo in Boys Over Flowers.  The story is so so, but it's kinda cute, except during the times when the lead female actress becomes too stalker-ish and too dependent on the guy! I was still entertained watching it, so it's ok, though I still like BOF better than Playful Kiss.

I was wondering what Korean romantic comedy series to watch next and I have no idea.  Then I remembered a friend and previous co-worker, Sandra, from Taiwan being addicted to a Korean actor.  I asked her what series her "husband" (hey, that's how she calls him! =P) starred in and she said Mary Stayed Out All Night.  I checked out youtube if there are vids uploaded with English subtitles and voila, there are!! I already buffered up a couple of episodes and will watch it later =). Let's see if this will be a good one.  Sandra also mentioned a couple more interesting series My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox and Secret Garden.  I have to check it out if there are sites with english subtitled vids.  At least I now have a line up of series to watch out for.  The only problem is it gets tiring to read the subtitles and sometimes it's hard to truly enjoy the scenes since you have to read what they are saying.  Oh well, I guess it'll have to do for now or I'd have to study their language, which I don't have the time and money for.

Sandra, bless her soul, also mentioned that my "husband" (hey, that's how I call him!!) Gong Yoo has a new movie entitled Finding Mr. Destiny that was released December 9 last year!! Now this I definitely want to see!! I wonder if some good-hearted soul uploaded this movie in the internet somewhere.... I sooo want to watch it... this is Gong Yoo's first project after being released from the army!! 

tug of war with kingking

I was browsing through my non-work files and came across this video of king king and I playing tug of war.  She was barely a year old (5 months to be exact) when this vid was taken.  I learned my lesson the hard way  not to play this game with a dog (even if it's just a puppy) especially if you're using your hair to tug it with!! LOL!! I'm telling you, you'd always lose and feel the pain!! LOL!!  

cuteness overload

With FB being totally blocked in our office and not having much to do, I'm back to reading the blogs of the people I follow.  As expected, Chico Garcia's blog is updated with cute and funny stuff, and that's where I ran into this video of a REALLY cute kid who sings pretty well and he actually knows the lyrics!! I think with enough practice and more vids posted in youtube, this kid can become the next American Idol or the next Justin Bieber.  Anyways, here are some of the vids in youtube so you can see for yourself.

Welcome 2011 (Year of the Rabbit)!!

First of all, I want to greet everybody a Happy New Year (1-1-11 today)!!! I wish everyone a great year ahead full of love, happiness and of course good health :)

Ok, before I post the "forecast" for 2011, let's have a recap for the 2010 forecast and let's see how much of it came true, or at least came close to coming true.  Here's what I posted in FB last time, I will take note of the items that came close or those that are far-fetched :)

From www.moonslipper.com :

"Forecast for 2010 The Year of the Tiger will be an exciting and lively year for the Horse. On the home and family front, there may be some changes with family members moving in, moving out or relocating to another location altogether (CURLYTOPS: yep, there had been some travels for a couple of my family members, but not me). On the social front, the Horse will be in much demand with invitations to parties and gatherings increasing as the year moves on (CURLYTOPS: hmmmm, I don't think I was in demand with invitations...my 2010 wasn't crazed with parties). Health wise, with such a busy year and added pressures, the Horse must ensure that he looks after his diet and gets adequate rest. Otherwise, irritability and heated arguments could arise unnecessarily. Those born under this sign will do exceptionally well career-wise this year (CURLYTOPS: Hmmmm, I don't really think I did anything exceptional... I was my boss' secretary and didn't really do anything earthmoving in our company.  At least I wasn't given a chance to do anything earthmoving! I'd say my career has been quite stagnant for some time now). However, they must follow up leads and career openings with vigor in order to take advantage of the fast paced energy of the Tiger year. A word of caution for the Horse – they need to keep a careful eye on their finances as overspending could happen very easily. August through September will bring fantastic opportunities for those looking for love (CURLYTOPS: HAH!!! What opportunities at love?? I didn't even see its shadow!! Not unless you'd include my love for Gong Yoo and Ian Sommerhalder... but that's like wishing for the stars and 100% one way street, not to mention they don't even know I exist!! So this statement right here didn't happen in 2010! LOL!). March through May will be lucky for changing jobs or careers while November and December will bring fun and lively social gatherings (CURLYTOPS: About the changing jobs and careers, well there definitely had some changes, but they didn't happen or start to happen until latter part of the year. I think the timing of this forecast is pretty off.   Of course there are social gatherings in December, it's the time for Christmas parties, right? Haha!)."

 

Ok, now let's now see what my 2011 holds according to the same website: 

The Horse

Fun, charming and attractive sums up the Horse’s traits perfectly. They love parties and crowds and being the centre of attention. They can also be egotistical, hotheaded and impatient. The Horse is a considerate and protective friend and partner and when in his company, there will always be excitement around the next corner. 

Forecast for 2011 The spotlight will have been on the Horse for much of 2010 with his
sparkling company and friendship being frequently in demand. In 2011, the focus for the Horse will be on his career, with unexpected developments and promotional opportunities on the cards. He should watch events carefully, for when an opening occurs he will need to act fast and be alert. April, May and October and November will be encouraging months for moving ahead in work or indeed finding a new job altogether (CURLYTOPS: The months look pretty off, coz I think the new job will be starting on March.  Oh well). Health and well-being will be on the minds of many Horses in the Chinese Year of the Rabbit and it’s a perfect time to re-think fitness routines and diet (CURLYTOPS: YES!! I definitely need to start re-thinking about the diet part..and also act on it! The execution part is the toughie *sigh*  Where can I buy discipline? LOL). Socially, as always, the Horse will be busy, with May to September and December being full of fun opportunities with friends. Attached Horses will fare better than single ones in 2011 (CURLYTOPS: WHAT!! No lovelife again this year!! UGH!). If a new romance is on horizon, the Horse would be well advised to relax and let the relationship develop slowly and without rushing. (CURLYTOPS: So IF there is romance, I still need to take it slow? Ugh! Can't I just snatch and marry him ASAP?? LOL!)  March, September and October are prime months for finding someone special (CURLYTOPS: Ok, I;m taking note of the months! LOL!). The Horse is an adventurous soul by nature and may do some traveling to far-flung places in the Year of Rabbit (CURLYTOPS: Oooohhhh!! Yes, I'd love to travel this year! 2010 was a no travel year for me and I am so missing plane rides! Far-flung places huh? I'm all for it! Anywhere baby!! I'm excited already!!). Financially there is a definite chance for the Horse to increase his earnings over the year and he should make every effort to manage his money carefully (CURLYTOPS: I'm welcoming increased earnings with big open arms! Give it to me baby!! ;P).

Hey, don't get me wrong, I don't let these predictions or forecasts lead my life.   God made each one of us unique and special, and I believe that each person defines their own destiny and future.  It's all about the choices we make with the opportunities given to us.  It's just fun to read how these Chinese astrology stuff sees my 2011 which makes me look forward to the year ahead :) 

I'm hopeful (of course with help of the Lord Almighty) that this year will be a better year for me (and my family), career-wise, health-wise and on the spiritual level.  I'll keep doing my best to be a better person and learn (and try not repeating them) from my mistakes in the past years.  As for the love life... well, I have already lifted that up to the Lord, it's all up to HIM.  In HIS time. :)

Once again, HaPpY NeW YeAr everyone!!!
