Get ready for Raizo!

Raizo is gonna take out those evil murderers in January! Yes you read it right! Ninja Assassin is gonna be released in January 16, 2009 in the US. In the Philippines, I think it’s safe to assume that the release date is the same or within the week. Hehehe…

Yay! So we’re gonna see him that early in the year. I was excpecting sometime in summer. But of course, I’m not complaining… XD

We watched Kung Fu Panda yesterday at SM Megamall and all I can say is: AWESOMENESS! lol

It’s a really fun movie. It’s undoubtedly made for the whole family to enjoy. Not just for kids but also for those who are kids-at-heart. XD I swear…I think we enjoyed it more than the kids in the cinema who watched it along with us. I didn’t dare hold back my emotion whenever I felt like saying ‘woah’ or ‘ahhh’. All those ‘kung-fooey’ scenes are just…plain awesome. It’s definitely a MUST see!

Vacation’s over. It’s time to go back to my 4-cornered cell a.k.a classroom. ><

But I’m kinda excited to go back to school this time for 2 reasons. One is because I already have a big big BIG hole in my pocket and I need to stitch it back a.s.a.p.. And two is because I’m getting really bored at home without anything to entertain me..or to put it simple, I miss the hell out of Ji-hoon so I want to get thoughts diverted for a while. Uhh..yea right. Lame reason, I know. As if it can really divert my attention even for a second. XD

I need a 1T HD..

Raia’s homework:

What: 5th album; 4th drama; 3rd movie; and etc.

Requirements: at least 160 GB of free hard disk space

 

Raia’s answer:

Total size: 200 GB

Free space: 20 GB

 

Raia’s correct answer:

-140 GB of HD space

 

ㅠㅠ.  Ouch. That sucks. Hurts like hell. Seriously. ㅠㅠ

I know it’s SO stupid, but I’m seriously thinking of giving up the chance of owning a laptop next year for a 1T HD a.s.a.p..

Dead serious.

Because I’m bored..

ㅋㅋ..넘 귀여워 근석오빠!! Jang Geun Seok, my new candy. XD I couldn’t help but…gah..he’s so cute! >O< LOL. And it didn’t help that I’m currently watching Hong Gil Dong for which he played the role Chang Hui. ㅋㅋㅋ Don’t worry Bi, I still love you. I just find him cute, that’s all. :D

Now this one’s old, but still, a big WOAH. YEH’s sexy back caption was from the 2007 MBC Drama Awards last year.  I seriosuly didn’t expect her to wear something like this. XD But she had carried it well I guess. =D

와~~ 못진 공유오빠!ㅋㅋ.. 하나씨 미안해 ..I stole this from your cyworld. XD I just found it cute that he’s wearing a Full House shirt :D

Would I forget this beautiful lady? =D An old pic though I can’t help but admire her beauty. She just looks so…perfect, at least for a guy I know. ;)

And of course, would I also forget this man? ㅋㅋ 지훈아 you’re such a dork, the most lovable one that is. XD You even find time to pose for the camera when you have a press conference coming up (or was it after?).

 

Nonsense entry? I told you I was bored.. ㅋㅋ

Reviews and Ramblings

I said I wasn’t really a fan of historical dramas right? But hey, I am starting to get addicted to Hong Gil Dong every minute watching it. XD Gil Dong and Yi Nok are just too cute and funny at the same time to abandon! hahaha! And how am I supposed to leave Chang Whe?! He is so damn handsome!! XD

[사랑해]

So when I whine, he answers eh? I should whine everyday then…hehehe. =D

The full MV of Samsung Anycall which Bi filmed in China last month is already out just this morning at an ungodly hour of 1am, which made it hard for me to sleep. XD But damn he looks so hot in a wifebeater! …what am I saying? He ALWAYS looks hot in a wifebeater!! XD

There is still no HQ release so I’m not gonna post anything yet. =D

[사랑해]

Hwang Jini

I know it’s a shame on my part that I had this movie since last year but I only get to watch it yesterday. XD I’ve read some good, not-so good and bad reviews about this movie but after watching it, I just know I’ll give a good one. =D

I’d say Song Hye Kyo’s acting is almost perfect here. Even if some says she lacks that ‘gisaeng attitude’ in the parts where she’s already a gisaeng, I think it’s because Jini was brought up as a part of a noble family in the first place, so even if five years later of being a gisaeng, she would still carry the royal etiquette in her right? So the royal part in her must be hard to lose especially when royalty is highly regarded in Korea.

Jini and Nomi’s love story… although they undoubtedly love each other, I somewhat feel that they’re a little..detached? I dunno if it’s because of their long separation from each other that makes it come out that way. But I can feel the love when both sacrificed themselves for each other. Jini gave herself to the magistrate so that Gaetong will be freed from prison because she knew that should Nomi hears about it, he will surrender himself. Nomi on the other hand, surrendered himself so that Jini won’t be having hard times anymore. Too bad it’s too late for Jini already gave herself to the magistrate the night before.

One side comment before I end up this review…

Damn that magistrate is so ‘effin lucky to have the chance to run his hands into Hye Kyo’s legs up to her knees. XD I bet someone bit his lower lip or index finger (his habit) when that scene came so as to control himself when he watched the movie. >:]] Bwhahaha I’m sooo bad..

[사랑해]

 

I Like it Hot / Hellcats

I’ve been expecting this movie since last year when I became a fan of Wonder Girls and I found out that Ahn So Hee will act in it. Now after watching it, it somewhat didn’t meet my expectations but I’m not a bit disappointed at this movie and it’s a good one nonetheless. And I like it that they used WG’s song I Babo in the bar scene..hehe.

  • Kim Ah Mi - Na Won Suk - Oh Seung Won

This love triangle got the most airtime..hehe. Ah Mi and Won Suk portrayed the new generation couple well but I think Ah Mi would do good if she chose Seung Won too. I seriously think they’re a cute couple especially when she visited him when he was sick. Though I also believe her when she said she liked Seung Won but she’s too confused about her feelings for Won Suk so she rejected him instead. Too bad..I was rooting for them..hehe. XD Also, I know it’s a heartbreaking scene to see your couple goldfish die, but using the toilet seat to cry on is just ..eww.  >o<

  • Kim Young Mi - Choi Kyung Soo

This couple somewhat reminded me of the movie Sweet Sex and Love because of their aggressiveness but differs in the way they feel for each other. In this movie, I can feel that both are trying to help each other in a way..

  • Kim Kang Ae - Lee Ho Jae - Yoo Mi Ran

I was hoping for a longer screentime for So Hee..hehe. Her mandu face is all over this movie. Anyways, she did good in this movie considering it’s her debut as an actress..and she already had 4 kissing scenes. XD Oh and Kim Bum? Was he included here too? LOL just kidding don’t kill me. XD I seriously didn’t feel him at all. Well except that he is Kang Ae’s love interest at first but he didn’t seem to like her the same way. Kang Ae’s liking on her bestfriend is what I had expected starting from their first kiss at the early part of the story.

Good Friday, Bored Friday

It’s Good Friday today but this doesn’t stop me from whining. XD

나 오늘 지훈이 너무 보고싶어요.. And re-watching his dramas doesn’t make it any better. Add the fact that it’s vacation time and I’m stuck at home doing nothing.

[사랑해]

Autumn Tale

What can I say? This drama is definitely a classic! I already watched the tagalized version but seeing it in Korean makes it even more beautiful (the main reason why I don’t like dubbed dramas).

Here I am making an 8-year-long delayed review. XD

This drama defines the word love really well. Be it love for family, friends, or for that special someone. And the couples - JS-ES, TS-ES - have done it great! Joon-seo and Eun-seo…should I say more about their love for each other? XD Tae-seok and Eun-seo would do great too in my opinion, if only ES wasn’t so inlove with JS. And with an exception for Joon-seo and Yumi because I didn’t really feel them at all. But I think it’s because they made it to be like that in the first place. JS never really loved her but he undoubtedly cares for her, it’s in his every action when she fractured her hand, but the reason he became attached to her is just because she wanted to be a tree too should she be reborn, just like Eun-seo. So yeah..I’ll forgive them for that LOL..

Also just like everybody else, I cried buckets for this drama…but not as much as what JS and ES have shed. There’s like a bucket of tears shed in every episode! I must really give them the props for that! And no, it’s not considered overacting at all. It’s just right to the flow of the story.

One thing I do not like about this is Joon-seo’s death. He didn’t deserve that kind of death…I mean after all what he has gone through, he died just like that by being hit by a truck? I know it’s the most common stereotypes in k-dramas, that the main characters will be hit by a car just because the driver forgot that he can step on that stupid break when he’s still metres away from the person. (A miracle happened in Ijuksa though… XD lol) Some says that it’s ok because they can finally be together in the life after death but spare me! I still believe that the PD should’ve given him a much better death worth remembering like Eun-seo…

The Great Procrastinator

What makes a person lazy? Cause I seriously need to get that off my system…

I have a research paper to edit and it’s due tomorrow but I don’t feel like opening MS Word one bit. Final exams are coming, and I really have to pass that, but I am here lazing my butt off on this yellow chair. XD My Theology project is due Friday but all I could come up with is a friggin intro!

School rocks; schoolwork sucks.

[사랑해]

Last Monday, I was again watching Full House (AGAIN for the nth time!) with my mom and our housekeeper. We were watching the last episode, the dating scene, then my mom suddenly blurted out,

Mom: “Siguro mag-syota yan (LYJ and HJE) sa totoong buhay..tama ba?” (maybe they really are a couple in real life…am I right?).

Me: O_O….out of the numerous times I have watched that, you only noticed it NOW?! LOL..nah I didn’t really say that.

Me: “I dunno…ask them *with a stupid grin on my face* XD”.

Mom: ”Really, now?”

Me: “Well they’re still single…or so they say *with a stupid grin on my face again* XD”.

Mom: “Oh really? I think they’re perfect for each other…”

SEE?! Even my mom, who’s never a fan of love teams, said that! And what makes it funny is that I never mentioned a word about them while watching that episode. I just sat there silently and smiling sheepishly to myself until she uttered those words!

[사랑해]

It’s almost 12nn, Germany time. I hope he has already taken/is already taking his lunch. By lunch, I mean a real one - not an apple-a-day-is-ok lunch! Because last month in China, he was spotted eating just an apple for lunch…

I swear I’m gonna go on a food strike myself if I see him still having those hollow cheeks…

[사랑해]

White Day is approaching! Most people may not be familiar with it, and to be honest, I only knew of it yesterday..LOL. So apparently most couples in Korea and Japan celebrate White Day. It is celebrated a month after Valentines Day wherein guys are expected to return the favor that they received on V.Day on this day. So yeah..in those countries, majority is that only the girls give gifts to the guys on V.Day.

So I wonder how he will return the favor to her when he’s in Berlin and she’s in…I dunno, Korea? Or maybe also in Berlin… XD

Random Sunday

Why is my brain not working when I badly need the hell out of it?!

[사랑해]

Coffee is supposed to make you stay awake right?…but why do I always fall asleep after drinking a cup? …what’s wrong with my system?!

[사랑해]

The making of Bi and Hyo-ri’s KB Card CF is out…and some BiKyoers are already at it on Hyo-ri, giving her a virtual kick :]]. Me? I guess I can’t be bothered. I dunno why but I do not see her as a threat to my couple. XD

[사랑해]

What would I do in those 4 long months without him? Seriously, besides surfing the net, I basically do nothing in summer. I just lock myself up in my room surfing the net all day in 2 months. What do I always do when I surf the internet? Easy - everything is Rain-related. But he will be locked in Babelsberg Studios until July…나 어떻게?!

[사랑해]

I want to buy a new Full House DVD just for keeps. My copy is all scratched now…hehe…blame me for watching it countless times. But will I be able to get the Director’s Cut again?

Looking back 3 years ago..

I was supposed to make this entry yesterday but my brain somewhat forgot it….hehe. XD

The picture below was taken from my first ever Korean forum because of my Rain/FH addiction three years ago, March 03,2005.

03/03/05  was not the actual date that I first became hooked, that is, the first time I saw Full House on my television set..but since I can’t remember when I actually started watching FH (yes..I missed the pilot episode on Feb.21.05), I just considered 03/03/05 as my “debut” in the Korean world because of the registered date on that forum. hehehe..XD

I can still remember it’s the same time that I had a bone fracture in my ankle and it had me casted for a month. I dunno if I should thank that incidence or what…but because of that, I stayed at home for a week and since I was so bored, and it was the time I was so hyped about FH and Rain, I decided to surf it up on the net - for a whole week. hahaha!! And from then on, I became your resident self-proclaimed koreana. rawrr. :]]

I never thought I would stay with him for a long time. Back then, I searched him to ‘just know’ him and then it’s finished like other artists. But the more I know about him, the more I get attached to that guy. He had proved me, and is still proving everyone that he isn’t just a hot body. He is Jeong Ji-hoon, the man striving to become a better person in his chosen field, and; he is Rain, the performer who works himself triple just so that the fans will be proud of him in every way.

I don’t give a damn to those people who keep asking me about what benefit could I get from loving someone who doesn’t even know I exist because they don’t know a single story behind the masterpiece. They don’t know who ‘Ji-hoon before Rain’ is, and; they don’t know what used to be me 3 years ago.

Now you know the reason why I despise the idea of the one posted below so much…

[사랑해]

Someone mentioned about having a Filipino remake of Full House a few days ago…but I refused to comment since I don’t know how true that is and also to spare myself from some cussing… XD I was gonna ignore it and wait for a confirmation first, that is, until my friend told me that she read about it and made an entry on her blog and that I should comment about it..demanding much eh? lol XD

So as to save some space in my humble blog, and also to prevent myself from further comments, please go here to view the article and my comment…

I want to ask this again though….do you seriously think she would look nice should they pursure that project and make her sing and dance Three Bears? I just know one thing for sure… that I would laugh the hell out of me once that happens. XD

Valentine Randomness

Yesterday, it has been confirmed that Ji-hoon’s next movie will be Ninja Assassin, where he will be playing the lead role of Jubei. That movie was said to have violent and bloody scenes, and also involves sex. I just don’t know who will be portraying what there..I just hope he’ll not do the mature part.

For now, I honestly don’t wanna put much faith in it…but since it’s Ji-hoon, the most unpredicted one, I just might have to eat my words afterwards. XD

[사랑해]

It just dawned on me how I missed playing the piano. I learned it when I was 6 but with lack of practice, I eventually forgot it. I can’t read the notes now and the only ones I can play are the ones I used to back then. It’s just sad that my parents won’t allow me to take lessons anymore…

I love listening to the soothing sound of Pachelbel’s Canon in D, Chopin’s Nocturne, Bach’s Goldberg, Yiruma’s Kiss the Rain, Ueda’s Konayuki and many other piano instrumentals that I come across with. Hearing them somehow leaves me a feeling of love, happiness, sadness and warmth all together. I may be in the 21st century, where rock is the ‘thing’, but a piano piece tops all of them - hands down.

[사랑해]

My computer’s been acting weird lately. IE won’t let me store some cookies and the time and date format will change once I turn my pc off. I guess it’s time for a new battery…hehe. *rushes off to Alexan*
