Love Rain

I'd say I'm glad that I came across JGS this month, at a time when I'm feeling low, feeling down.  It is a good diversion.

At a time I feel I need someone to talk to, a time I feel disappointed, tired and buried into a pile of blue clouds, at least this series made me forgot all the bad...

Love Rain.
Set in the seventies and the present day, it tells a heartrending love story over two generations.
The 70s is all shy and blue, old-fashioned, classic and melancholic.
The present day is fun, playful photographer meets the innocent girl, then love develops. Then later on realizing the conflict is a bigger problem, the continuation of their parent's love story against theirs.

The fun part

And of course, JGS sang this song that moves my heart.

My take:
I like the versatility of JGS's acting skills, of how he portrays the 'torpe' guy in the 70s, which is in total contrast of the playful naughty boy in the present times. The girl 'Yoona' is likeable and not maarte at all. The ending is a bit dragging because of too many drama between the 1st generation and 2nd generation. But as a whole, it got me hooked for another 1 week sleeping at 3am again.

More JGS Movie Craze

So Jang Geun Suk is not only good in singing, he can dance as well.  Here's a short video of him singing 'Mandy' in his movie 'You're My Pet' where he is a ballet dancer for musicals. I am convinced he is soft and gayish! Arrgh and I never like gayish guys, he is an exception.  Oh well, there is nothing absolute in this world, in the end it's all about branding and packaging. :)



Apart from this movie, I've also watched 'Baby and Me' which is actually a better movie. Go have some fun and get your youtube streaming these movies!

My Unexpected Infatuation

Ok ok I know the title sounds a bit strange. The latest fangirl mode after a long while (the last one being In Love With You's Li Da Ren), I found myself going gaga over a 25yr old Korean star. Eww why is he so young! :p

I watched taiwan's first few few episodes of the remake 'You're Beautiful' and became intrigued. I know the original Korean version was a sensational hit last 2009. And I also know the guy was quite strange-looking, with all the eyeliner look. I digged my old DVD, and the rest was history. I've been sleeping 3am for a straight week just to finish this. And oh boy, I get drawn to this eyeliner guy like magnet. His name is Jang Geun Suk.

Wiki summary for 'You're Beautiful':
'Korean drama about a fictional boy band A.N.Jell and the relationship between its members when a female, posing as her twin brother, joins the group'.

It was a really funny and kilig drama. The leading man again a typical arrogant jerk who gradually transforms into a gentleman because of the leading lady.

Here's a picture of JGS. Ain't he cute? (I must say a bit gayish too but then who cares!)









And it doesn't help to forget him easily if he is not just an actor, but rather can sing well too.

And after You're Beautiful, I became engrossed with 'investigating' all his previous works. Few more posts to come until I completely get over JGS. :)

I gain 10lbs!

I went for a check-up yesterday and my clinical records show I am 10 lbs heavier than my vist last year 2012. Omg!

But actually my weight dropped significantly last year when I just moved back to Philippines. So it means my weight now 2013 = 2011. (as per the records). I know for sure I can't fit into my favorite little black dress again, I didnt even want to try. :p

Good that I have purchased gym vouchers and now diligently back on the gym habit, at least once every week!

Just when I thought I can close my eyes in my workdays, just last week I was given some challenging new assignments and I worked OT for 3 nights :(. Huhuhu. I shouldn't blog or brag too much on good news in my blog next time.

Feels like a lot of people around me have good news to share. I want to feel happy for others.

There are times I expect some things to end and was cool about it, somehow I am also caught vulnerable realizing the end is indeed the end. Yes, I am affected.. to some extent.

These are things I could no longer change.

Thy will be done.

When Past is Past

Did it ever occur to you that when you open facebook, suddenly you realized bits and pieces of the past start to haunt you, remind you, and you end up giving a buntung-hininga, 'what was I thinking back then'. :)

What was I thinking. I don't know. I can't remember. My brain and my heart were not coordinating properly. :)

I was pre-occupied with the wrong things, wrong people. I had several distractions that were time robbers. I invested on the wrong things, wrong people, oops.

But if given a chance to do it all over again, would I have done something differently? No point, because fate is fate. Destiny is destiny. Life is life.

I cherish the good, bury the bad. Cheers to better days ahead. I can feel it. :)  Good vibes.
