yes I have

I think this is one of the sad songs I've heard... and somehow I can relate... there are questions in the songs that I can answer with "yes, I have"

my band's album cover

I've always wondered how my CD album cover would look like if ever I'm a band member or a singer... and I got an answer while reading through Chico Garcia's blog. Apparently Chico got this idea from a certain Engr. MOKS where you can follow simple instructions to come up to your own album cover design.  Here's how it works:

1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and click on “Random Article”. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to http://quotationspage.com/ and click on “Random Quotes”. The last few words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/ and click on “Interesting photos from the last seven days”. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. And in case you decide to post the final product, even if we’re just doing this for fun, don’t forget to acknowledge whoever owns the original image!

4. Use Photoshop (for me I used picnik) to put it all together.

5. And voila, you’ve got you band’s CD album cover!

Here's how mine turned out:

Album title: "A worse pain doesn't make present pain hurt any less"

It turned out pretty cool huh?! It actually looks like a real album cover... Hehehe!! :)  Pwede!!  I also got a pretty cool sounding album name! :)  According to Wikipedia, Gask Ridge is the modern name given to an early series of fortifications, built by the Romans in Scotland.  The Gask Ridge consisted of a series of forts and fortlets with signaling towers.


Go try it, it's fun :)

I sooo miss my hubby Gong Yoo

As I was checking out youtube for an old drama series of Gong Yoo entitled One Fine Day, I saw this video with my hubby singing the soundtrack of his latest movie Finding Mr. Destiny and just watching him made me happy!!!!  I realized how much I miss my Gong Yoo!! LOL!! Ok, I know, I'm a little pathetic... but what can I do? I have a big crush on the guy?! LOL!! If only he's in my world... 

Kalamay Addict, I know you'll love this too ;)

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.
