New Year NA.

            With just a couple of hours to wait for, we’ll leave the year 2007 and start anew.

 

            2007 has been a tough year, it signaled the end of my HS years and the beginning of my college life. When I was still a senior, I’m looking forward to college, but now that I’m finally one, I want a way out.

 

            Studying in the university is as hard as hell. There are a lot of adjustments to be made, not only in my studies, but as well as my relationship with others. Not to mention the feeling of homesickness since I have to be away from home for at least 5-6 days. I’d always wanted to study in Manila (Manila = independent), however, given the days and months that passed, I was awaken by the harsh reality that it could offer. Now, I am thinking, what would have happened to me if I were in Cavite.

 

            When I mentioned the thing about studies being hard, I really meant it. Pheewwww. No wonder it’s called UP, it makes one’s brain cracked (not for those geeks). In UP I’ve found out that the stuff that I’ve learned in HS are just the basics, especially in MATH, there are a lot of concept that is totally foreign to me. I was clueless. I even failed my first exam (1^st sem). But at the end of the first semester, I’ve managed to pass all of my subjects, well I nearly failed a subject, ES 1 (Drawing), luckily naka tres ako, ayoko talaga sa drafting. LOL. As for the present semester, I don’t know if I’ll be able to pass all of it, I have this feeling that I’ll fail in EEE 11 (Programming Fundamentals), inihahanda ko na nga sarili ko eh.

 

            Enough with those things na lang, anyway tapos na naman yon. Sa ngayon unti – unti na akong nakakaadapt sa college life. Di na din ako masyadong nahohome sick. Sobrang nag-iingat na din ako sa mga magnanakaw. Masaya naman ako sa Dorm Life ko, though minsan napakaraming activities. Kahit na siguro di masyadong maganda itong year na ‘to for me, thankful pa rin ako kasi nandito pa rin ako at masaya naman kahit papano. Sana 2008 will bring me a whole year of luck. Sana tumama ako sa lotto. HAHA.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR SA LAHAT!!!

 

My New Year’s Resolutions:

 

♣ Mag diet na.

♣ Mag – aral ng mabuti.

♣ MAG IPON.

♣ Act Maturely.

♣ Be realistic.

♣ Stop na ang addiction sa mga dramas (may bakasyon pa naman)

Spring Waltz

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Other

I think one way to attract viewers to watch a show is a good Promotional Video. When I mean good, the gist of the story should be presented in a nice manner, plus it should be accompanied with a good song. Why a good song? It’s because it’s the thing that attracts a person’s attention – well it worked for me.

Spring Waltz has always been on my list of to-watch asian series, but it only remained that way for I am hesitating, I’m not that certain if the plot’s good. I don’t want to risk my money for such. Then I’ve gotten feedbacks on how good it is, but it still didn’t urge me to watch it. One day when I was channel surfing, there’s this commercial, from the looks of it it’s a kdrama – Spring Waltz, then after watching the CM, this line (from the song used) keeps popping in my mind “And I Love You So x infinity , the song’s really great and the video’s good. It’s an addition that they mentioned that some of the scenes were taken from Austria. [and Daniel Henney’s there]

And so, I’ve watched its Pilot Episode on ABS, you don’t have to guess what happened next, I was hooked, I was thinking, “I’ve got to buy this.” Another day passed, and still I haven’t bought the copy, I was still watching it in ABS, and I’m growing impatient, gusto ko na talaga siyang panuorin ng tuloy tuloy. Bigla ko na nga lang nasabi, grabe na talaga ko, di ko na kayang maghintay, sobrang addict na ko. Maybe that’s the reason why I don’t watch asian series on television – I don’t want my attention to be sustained. Two days after, I’ve gotten my copy. YAY, and now, I’ve just finished marathoning it.

Spring Waltz is the last installment of the Endless Love series. I’ve watched almost all of it, except for Summer Scent (only watched the first epi, din’t like it). Winter Sonata and Autumn Tale are my fave, though I’ve really cried a lot on the latter. As of now, Spring Waltz is also a fave of mine.

My review:

Story
Overall, the story’s beautiful. My favorite would be from episodes 1 – 11. My addiction may be rooted from watching its pilot episode, it’s an attention getter, believe me. Austria’s magnificent, such a nice location for a nice story, and poof, you’ve got an excellent show. So many kilig parts, and bagay na bagay talaga yung One Love (OST), minsan nga tugtugin lang yun kinikilig na ko eh. (Magtatagalog muna ako) Pero medyo mahaba yung series, kaya minsan may mga episodes na boring at nakakaasar. Base nga din sa isang blog na nabasa ko, mas okay kung mga 14 – 16 episodes lang siya. May mga parts na predictable na yung mangyayari. Pero love ko pa din yung story. Medyo mahaba yung part nung mga bata pa sila kaya finest forward ko na lang. LOL

Actors
First time kong mapanood yung dalawang lead. As for Daniel and Lee So Yeon, I’ve watched some of their dramas.

Jae Ha (Seo Do-young) – though di siya ganung ka gwapo, kering keri naman niya yung role, bagay sa kanya yung tahimik na may pagka mysterious, galing pa niyang magpiano (sana lagi na lang siyang nagpipiano). And bagay talaga sila ni Eun Young.

Eun Young (Han Hyo Joo) – Here’s the face na kahit titigan mo magdamag eh hindi ka magsasawa, tuwing nakikita ko siya, nasasabi ko na lang “ang ganda ganda niya”, ang inosente niyang tingnan lalo na pag tumatawa siya, siya yung nagbibigay kulay sa series.

Philip (Daniel Henney) – what more can I say? Sige nga, tindig at porma pa lang pamatay na. Hunk talaga siya, sobrang nikikilig ako pag nagsisimula na siyang magpacute sa mga girls. Pero siguro kahit na ilang beses siya lumamang ng kagwapuhan kay Jae Ha, Jae Ha – Eun Young pa rin ako. Ewan ko ba, pero mas like ko si Daniel (na siya). Buti na lang napakaunderstanding ng character niya.

Ina (Lee So Yeon) – first watched her sa Super Rookie, as usual kontrabiad na naman. Sa totoo lang effective siyang kontrabida, asar na asar kaya sa kanya yung brother ko, sa sobrang kaasaran eh tuwing siya yung nasa screen e pinapa fast forward ng kapatid ko. HAHA. But second most hated ko lang siya sa series, pinaka hate ko yung nanay ni Jae Ha, sobrang nakakaasar.

Till here na lang. This review’s so long (got carried away). :D

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (real review)

Since my pc’s already fixed, might as well do a good review of this jdrama (just go to the reviews section to view my older review).

         

          I’m familiar with its story since I’ve already watched the TW version of this. I tell you, don’t expect that the story would be exactly the same, the Jap Version strongly adhered to the manga. Just like Hanadan and MG.

 

          Confession no. 1: The first reason for me watching this is because of OguShun, I’ve also liked him in Gokusen, GTO and especially in Hanadan. It’s good to know that he will be the lead in this one. So while I was waiting for my first look in HnKe, I was like “OguShun, OguShun, OguShun!!!!”

 

          Confession no. 2: There were only two Japanese actors that I’ve seriously liked, MatsuJun and OguShun, however, that was before I’ve watched this series. Now there are three, MatsuJun, OguShun and Ikuta Toma.

 

          Confession no. 3: After watching the TW version, there is no doubt that Quan is the perfect guy(Sano), so before watching Hnke, I only have Sano in my eyes. After watching it, there is still one guy, but it isn’t Sano now, it’s Nakatsu Shuichi.

 

          Here’s my review:

 

          I think that both the TW and Jap. Version has its good points, but I’ll focus on the strong points of the Jap version (sorry if I’ll be comparing both versions).                                                                                                                                  

                                           

                              

           First, the three leads, hmmmm, I think that Shun, Maki and Toma are the most perfect actors to portray the roles. They surely complement each other. No one is above the other, so it’s truly great.

 

          Second, the series doesn’t only focus on the relationship between Sano and Mizuki, it’s not only about love, but it’s about friendship, trust and hope.

 

          Third, the story is fast paced, but although it is, one can still grasp the story better. And in a way it creates no boring parts. All episodes are enjoyable.

 

 

          Fourth, almost all of the casts have good exposures. It doesn’t only concern the brewing love triangle of Sano-Mizuki-Nakatsu and Sano’s problem about his high jumping, but it never fails to include the scene between the three dorms, whether it’s a contest, an event or a panty stealing case, always expect that Dorms 1, 2, and 3 will give you a laugh. Maybe, it’s one of my favorite parts in this series. I always love to see Tennouji, Nanba and Himejima [see above pic] (together with their respective co dormers) battling each other with their different personalities.

 

                 

 

          Fifth, the biggest revelation to me here is Nakatsu Shuichi. I’ve always thought of him as this crazy, immature and laughable guy. It may be attributed to Jiro’s (TW version) portrayal of him. But after watching the first episode of Hnke, I realized that there is depth in his character. For the first time, I’ve seen a different side of Nakatsu. And as the story progresses, I find myself admiring him, especially the part when he is starting to like Mizuki. Ikuta Toma, surely knows how to act, no wonder he won best supporting role in this drama. Don’t get me wrong, Nakatsu is still Nakatsu, he’s still crazy, esp. when he talks to his self, so kawaii.

                           

 

          Sixth, Before I’m a strong admirer of Sano-Mizuki, but now, I’m more into Nakatsu-Shuichi. Lol. Seriously, the director has made the right decision in casting Toma for the role. Now, Sano has finally met a note worthy rival. And in a way, the fans will be torn between the two. Whether Sano or Nakatsu, I really can’t tell because Shun and Toma are so DARN HOT. Unlike in the TW version where in you would definitely root for Chun (hey wu zun is so gorgeous).

 

          Lastly, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e’s ending is the best. Best because, even if there is no sequel to it, I’m totally fine with it, for it has completely satisfied me. All problems have been resolve, and all the students are happy. What more could you ask for? Though it would be better if there is a SP where it shows the residents of Dorms 1, 2, and 3 flying over to California. :)

 

          I still have a lot of appraisal for this, but the space won’t be enough. All I want to say is that I’m thankful that I’ve watched this, because if not, how can I discover Ikuta Toma (seen him first in HYD 2)? LOL. >=) and of course the rest of them???

Snow Queen

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Other

I’ve just finished watching this series. Yes it’s a Korean series and not Andersen’s Snow Queen fairy tale. Actually it was just when I’ve purchased this series that I’ve known the existence of such a fairytale. The story pretty much included details from the tale, but since I haven’t read the book yet, I’m as clueless as you may possibly think. All I know is that the Snow Queen’s heart is made of ice (not literally), and I think that it has some connection with the lead actress in the series (perhaps she’s like the snow queen???). But don’t get mistaken as to thinking that this series follows Andersen’s tale (I can’t explain..)

If you’re not so into the heavy type of drama (i.e. Endless Love, Stairway to Heaven, etc.), then don’t watch this. If you don’t want to witness a tragic ending, don’t watch this. But if you’re a Hyun Bin fanatic, you should definitely see this. If you’ve already watch Kim Sam Soon, you would know that the Hyun Bin in Snow Queen is way way different from it. If in KSS he is this happy go lucky guy, in SQ he is this person who carries the burden of the world, his role is so mature, that I was impressed of how well Bin acted, I’m still in awe that he can really act to that intense. The truth is, I wasn’t ready to see him in such a miser role, but since he’s Bin, I know you know what I mean.



The story revolved with Tae Woong’s (Bin) best friend’s unexpected death. Since before his death, the two quarreled, Tae Woong put all the blame to himself, to the extent that he dropped out from High School, left home and started to live a new life as a boxer under a new name. I really hate this part, because you know Tae Woong is a genius, I mean he’s so so bright, he has won this international math Olympiad, and therefore he has beaten his also genius best friend, the rest is history.



The story is a little bit complex because of Bo Ra (the girl whom Tae Woong loves), I wouldn’t elaborate much. I pity Tae Woong all through out, for he has experienced all the problems that the world has to offer (I’m a bit exaggerating). It breaks my heart watching him suffer. Honestly speaking, there are boring parts, especially at the middle, but it didn’t affect my interest in watching this. The story’s okay, the ending has brought me tears, but I somehow find the ending lacking, I was expecting more tears (from myself).

I’ve watched this with my bro, it’s pretty amusing how he managed to sit through those long hours watching Snow Queen (we stayed up to 3 am for two days), to add up, not so many men watched Koreanovelas. I was really happy that he appreciated it, and I’ll leave it up to you if you decided to give Snow Queen a try. ^^

Boku wa imoto ni koi o suru (I Love My Younger Sister)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

From the moment I’ve heard that Jun will be doing this film, I was excited to watch this. Even though my friends told me that the story’s sort of odd and disgusting (sorry for the term), I’ve just replied that this only proves that Jun is really a good actor, for he can handle such a role.

The story is about Yori and Iku and their forbidden love. Forbidden because they are twins. After learning this, I didn’t find myself disgusted. However, while I was watching it, I found out that I can’t bear to watch it, for I have a brother, and to think that that kind of relationship exists, it freaks me out. Ewwwww.. haha.

The movie is boring (gomen, gomen). It’s a slow one, believe me. I’m just fast forwarding it to the important scenes. And the thing that helped me from watching it till the end is my admiration for MatsuJun. I’ve liked him since I first laid eyes on him on Gokusen 1, and till now, it’s still the same. If you’re Jun’s fan I know you could still watch this (just like me).

Lastly I liked its OST, it’s nice.

Why Why Love Opening

Tong Jia Di needs a life besides work, paying down family debt, and more work. So her best friend Jiang Xiao Nan sneaks in a “Love” coupon in Jia Di’s raffle box praying that the lucky guy who draws it will sweep Jia Di off her feet. As it so happens, Huo Yan, the compassionate manager Jia Di has secret crush on, is the lucky guy. But, tho' the prince can exchange the coupon for Cinderella’s love, it doesn’t mean he will, especially when his devilish younger brother is determined to exchange his “Master/Angel” coupon for her servitude.

I can't make a good review of this as of the moment but here's my little say:

I've watched this because OguShun was here, but after finishing the series, I found myself liking Ikuta Toma's character. I'm so happy because they've chosen the right person to portray Nakatsu Shuichi's character. Nakatsu's like my fav. person in this series (gotta give the credits to Toma). Bec. of him, my attention was diverted from Sano (and shun).

p.s (gomen ne minna san, but as soon as my pc's fix, i'll make a good review of this,truth is I've enjoyed watching this.)

Why Why Love / Huan Huan Ai

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

After months of waiting, I've finally gotten my copy of Why Why Love, this review should be long overdue, but since my pc crashed (ugh), I didn't have the time to post this.

Thoughts on WWL:

Mike He is super duper hot in here. His looks has definitely improve since Devil Beside You though I much prefer Ahmon over Huo Da. Rainie's acting has also been good.



WWL is sort of like a reunion of the leads in DBY, if you've watched DBY you could see the similarities in the story line. Mike's still a devil and Rainie's his subordinate, while Kingone is her knight in shining armor. WWL has kept me laughing at all episodes. However towards the last few episodes, one could see the gravity of the plot, I've cried, yes, maybe it's because of Mike's character. He Jun Xiang has definitely improved.

I recommend this series to you, not just bec. I'm Mike's no. 1 fan (lol), but because it's worth spending your time. I would rate this an eleven (out of ten stars). ^^ (though i love DBY more) I do really love Mike and Rainie's tandem. Hope they could make more projects in the future.

Oblation Run / Christmas Party / Meteor Shower

Base pa lang sa mga titles diyan, more or less alam niyo na kung tungkol saan ‘to.

 

Oblation Run – since nung nalaman ko yung existence ng oblation run, I was really looking forward na mapanood yun, so nung nalaman ko yung actual date na mangyayari siya, sobrang excited talaga ako, pero when I looked through my sched, grabeng disappointment talaga kasi may class ako, and by that time alam ko na na kahit anung mangyari di ko na siya mapapanood, Chem Lec kasi, eh yung prof pa naman naming dun ay sobrang sipag (to the max). So habang nagdidiscuss kami ng Gas Laws, nagsisigawan naman ang mga tao sa labas, kahit anung try kong magfocus sa lesson, di ko talaga magawa, inurge na nga ako ng aking mga “mababait na blockmates” na kunwari daw ay naccr ako, pero di ko pa rin ginawa.

            A few days after the run, nakita ko yung mga pics ng O.R sa blog ni Shayne. And alam niyo ba nanaginip ako tungkol dun, actually nightmare siya for me. I was there daw, then from afar parang nakikita ko na silang paparating, and what did I do? I covered my eyes and from that point on, nalaman ko na di pa pala talaga ako ready para dun. Siguro by next year, ray na ako. LOL. ^^

 

Christmas Party – Christmas Party namin sa Kalai last Wed (12), di talaga siya Kalai wide, ang ka exchange gift namin ay ang 2^nd floor boys, FYI sila yung dati naming corridor partner last sem, this sem iba na partner namin, pero it seems na sobrang naging close na talaga ng BA at 2^nd floor. Pinagawa kami ng wish list, nung sinusulat ko yung akin, I wasn’t concentrating, kasi ang nasa isip ko di naman ‘to seseryosohin ng mga boys eh. BTW ito yung nasa wish list ko (almost ito yung nakalagay)

            ♥ Plushie doll ni Hitsugaya Toushiro (Bleach), meron nun sa Comic Alley sa SM North (I think so), kung wala naman nun eh kahit anung bagay na associated kay Hitsugaya.

            ♥ Gummy Worms, yung nasa Tupperware

         ♥  DVD 9 ng Spring Waltz or kaya yung movie collection ng Detective Conan

While writing this alam kong mahirap hanapin yung # 1 sa list ko at tsaka mahal, so alam kong yung gummy worms talaga ang makukuha ko, alam kong yun talaga ang makukuha ko. Maidagdag ko lang yung name pala ng nabunot ko is PAUL, yung nasa wish list niya ay Red High Socks, kaya naman madali lang mabili. Nagpunta kami sa SM North, and then nalaman ko (accidentally) kung sino nakabunot sakin. It was Trick, pano ko nalaman, kasi may hawak siyang Tupperware na parang gummy worms, haha. Pero di niya alam na nakita ko siya. So the party started, nung nakita ko yung hawak niya na gift parang na disheartened ako, kasi di naman mukhang Tupperware iyon eh. It turns out na siya pala talaga ang nakabunot sa akin, haha. Afte the party inopen ko yung gift ko, and I was so surprised nung may makita akong keychain ni Hitsugaya (aside dun sa gummy worms)! Tapos nakakatouch pa yung note ni Trick, sabi niya 3 comic alley na napuntahan niya para makahanap nung plushie, halos makapatay na siya ng clerk para lang maglabas ng Toushiro, hehe. Ang saya ko talaga, grabeng effort pala talaga ginawa niya para mahanap yun.

 

Meteor Shower – ayon sa mga kumakalat sa text nung Friday, magkakaron daw ng Meteor Shower that night, tapos habang nagstart na kong magreview para sa exam ko sa EEE 11 the next day, may narinig akong sigawan sa labas. Totoo pala ang balita, may meteor shower nga, maraming mga dormers ang nasa basketball court at nanonood, with my roommate an friends, e pansamantala kong iniwan ang pag aaral at bumaba. That was around 10 pm. Matagal akong nakatingala, may nakita na ang iba ako wala pa, nagkastiffneck na ako sa kakaabang, paluha at pasuko na sa kasawian sa pagmamasid at dun nga, nakita ko ang pinakaunang meteor sa aking buhay, ang ganda niya. Anung oras na ko nakabalik sa room ko? 12:30 am. Ilan ang nakita kong meteors? Sampu. May gana pa ba akong magreview nun? Wala na. Pero sa kadahilanang kailangan kong mag aral, ay 2:30 na ako natulog, kailangan kasi, kasi naman wala akong kaalam alam sa itetest. Computer Programming kasi.

            Anung nangyari sa test ko? Wag mo nang tanungin. Ayoko nang balikan pa, yun na ata yung pinakamahirap na Exam na nakuha ko, at sa kauna – unahang pagkakataon, sobrang nangamba ako na babagsak ako sa subject na yun. Pero sa totoo lang di ko pinagsisisihan na nanood ako ng Meteor Shower. Pramis.

Coffee Prince on GMA (January)

                                                                  OMG, OMG as in OMG. It’s official, GMA has the rights to air Coffee Prince. Just saw the trailer a while ago while watching the boxing thingie. I was shocked for I thought that ABS got CP, it has been circulating forums for months (I think so). No offense, Kapuso ako, but then I do hope that they hire a great dubber, pretty please, and put it in a good time slot, sobrang sumikat kaya siya sa Korea. Disappointed na nga ako dun sa ginawa nila sa Foxy Lady eh. But then I’m alarmed, maeexpose na si oppa Gong Yoo. Dadami na ang kaagaw. LOL

 

            However, I’m kinda disappointed because nauna pang iair ang Coffee Prince kesa sa Devil Beside You. Bitter ako, I admit, kasi naman dati pa kaya pinapakita yung teaser na iaair nila yung DBY, pero hanggang ngayon wala pa in. GMA umaksyon naman kayo, ano ba yan. Pati Hana Yori Dango 2 iair niyo na (sana sa summer)! Kesa naman yung ibang koreanovela ang iair niyo why not try chinovela naman? Sana iair na din ang Hana Kimi sa ABS (medyo off topic).

The Beast and the Beauty/He Was Cool/Seducing Mr. Perfect

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romantic Comedy

Since medyo nabore ako kagabi, I’ve watched three Korean movies straight.

The Beast and the Beauty – I watched this kasi recommended ni Joanna, maganda daw yung story. Nakakaaliw naman siya infairness, kahit kapatid ko na bihira pa sa patak ng ulan na samahan akong manood ng mga movies na iba ang lenggwahe at puno ng subtitles ay pinanood din ito. Naturally base pa lang sa title alam niyo na how the story goes. Sabi ni Joanna cute daw yung prosecutor dito and chaka naman yung bidang guy kaya naman umpisa pa lang kay prosecutor guy na ako (di ko pa siya nakikita nun), pero sa totoo lang mas gusto ko si Dong Gun (si beast), mas okay siya kaysa kay prosecutor, nakakatouch yung mga efforts niya for Hae Joo. BTW, I think Hae Joo is played by the girl who stars in A Love To Kill (opposite Rain).

He Was Cool – I really enjoyed this one. Kahit na medyo cliché and gasgas na yung story line ayos pa din. Medyo typical na talaga yung story kasi parang ala Meteor Garden, Hana Yori Dango siya. May badboy na nainlove sa isang ordinary girl blah blah. Pero sobrang nagustuhan ko talaga siya, iba pa rin yung kilig na naidulot niya, maganda talaga. Puno ng mga sweet moments. Nakakatawa pa. Ji Eun Sung (bad boy) was played by Johnny, yung nasa Endless Love 1. Unang impression ko nung pinapanood ito is sana iba na lang yung guy for the role, kasi parang di talaga bagay sa kanya, pero nung lumaon ayos na rin. As for the girl, medyo familiar yung mukha niya (siya ba yung bida sa Attic Cat?).

Seducing Mr. Perfect – Daniel Henney. The reason I’ve watched this is because of him. Siya yung isa pang guy na nagstar sa Kim Sam Soon. Nung nakita ko na siya yung bida, go na! watch na. Nakakatuwa yung story, walang boring parts at ang ganda ng set nila, I was wondering nga kung sa Korea pa ba ito shinoot. The thing is puro English ang sinasabi ni Daniel all throughout, I was thinking, nagkakaintindihan kaya talaga sila, nakakaintindi ba talaga ng Korean si Daniel or what, kasi sa KSS di din siya nag Ko-korean. Over all, must see pa din ang movie na ito, that’s all I can say.

Generalizations after watching these movies:
Mga di mawawalang scenes sa Korean movies and series:
♦ Lead actors showing off their body
♦ Karaoke singing
♦ Inuman time
♦ Nalasing si girl and then binuhat siya ni guy
♦ Almost all of the time ay CEO or mayaman si bidang guy

Pasko na

Then dahil isa yung rum namin sa BEST ROOMS, may privilege kaming mainspect lahat ng rooms sa KALAI, meaning pati BOYS wing. ahehehe. hmmmmm, ano masasabi ko? sikwet, basta nakakapagod siya and one thing more, after kong makapunta sa Boys Wing nagbago na pananaw ko sa Kalai, para bang di siya yung kalai na alam ko.

Thursday: Lumabas na result ng Calculus test ko, pumasa ako! wahaha.. Pero kahit na ganun di pa din ako masyado okay, di pa kasi ako pwede umuwi ng Cavite sine may class pa ko sa Sat.

Rain on the Clear TV Commercial

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

Has anyone seen it? Or I was just behind everyone else (since I’ve been living in a dorm = no television)?

I was watching SOP and I accidentally turned to QTV, and there was this commercial, at first I didn’t recognize the guy, but then Rain appeared saying “My name is Rain” (btw, the commercial is nearing its end). I was shocked, bigla ko na lang nasabi, “kailangan kong makita ng buo ang commercial na yun.” And one thing more, bigatin ang Clear, kasi napakadami niyang commercials tapos ngayon international star pa ang model nila. (for Singapore pala talaga yung commercial na yun) ^^

Luckily, pinakita siya sa ABS, maganda yung commercial, mas bagay kay Bi yung hair niya ngayon, mas gwapo siya pag short ang hair. Pero at the same time, naisip ko, ginagamit kaya talaga niya yung shampoo? LOL. Kasi personally, ayoko sa Clear, natry ko siya kasi maraming nagbibigay ng free samples sa UP nun (syempre tanggap lang ng tanggap, libre eh), ayaw ko sa amoy, haha. Yung commercial lang talaga ang gusto ko, astig. Hopefully, mafeature din ang ibang asian stars sa Pinoy TV Commercials. Kasi probably si Rain yung pinakakilala ng pinoy dahil sa Full House. Hay naku, kailan pa kaya maeexpose ang ibang asian actors? (ABS, GMA magpalabas na kayo ng ibang Asianovelas, asap)

Just a random thought: magkano kaya binayad nila kay Bi?

Must Watch Scenes in "They Kiss Again"

pls take with credits

Must watch scenes

Xiao Zhong and Ariel recommend several must watch scenes to us. They were really touched by them while filming these scenes themselves.

1. When ZhiShu becomes a doctor, XiangQing, who wanted to be more comparable with her husband, has decided to go for the nursing course. Having to learn the ways to give injection to the patient, creating all kinds of mishap. ZhiShu wanted to help out XiangQing and decided to let her used him as practice. [If you don’t really love her, you wouldn’t let her do this to you. This is one of the greatest ways to express your love, very touching.

2. At episode 15, after both of them (ZhiShu and XiangQing) had been through all the misunderstanding, ZhiShu finally knows that, the one he loves the most is, XiangQin. In the end, he said “Wo Ai Ni”. These words usually definitely wouldn’t be coming out from the arrogant ZhiShu but since he needs to let XiangQing has more confidence toward his loves for her, he finally said it. [Really touching, don’t missed it.]

3. The scene recommended by Ariel would be, filming her shedding tears. That would be when ZhiShu and her were helping a patient together. Having to face the line between life and death. [That moment, the way the camera used was sort of using a door to separate Xiao Zhong and me. Having the feeling of pain that one-day we might face this kind of separation and it just makes me shout out loud. It reminds me a lot of things about people being separated like that (between life and death), very touching, don’t missed it everyone.]

2nd sem classes.

            So far, napasukan ko na lahat ng class ko this sem. What can I say about my classes?

 

Math53 – Clueless ako dito. Ni isa wala akong alam sa mga topic. Kung Math 17 pa nga lang hirap na ako, Calculus pa kaya? (Wala naman kaming Calculus nung High School eh)

 

Chem 16 – Hay Chem, sa totoo lang wala na akong matandaan dito, nung 3rd year pa namin diniscuss 'to eh. At sa tingin ko kung ikukumpara yung Chem ko dati sa Chem sa UP, di hamak na mas dobleng hirap ang aking daranasin (o kwadruple pa kaya?)

 

Chem lab – Wala akong kaalam-alam sa lab, kasi di naman kami naglalab nung High School, kung maglab man eh yung simple lang (as in simple). Plus di naman kami complete sa mga apparatus eh. Ano kaya mangyayari sakin dito? But kahit ganon, mukhang magiging masaya pa rin ang lab ko. ^^

 

EEE 11 (Fundamentals in Programming) – Hindi ako marunong nito. Haha. At pano kaya ang mga homeworks ko dito? Wala naman ako computer sa dorm (i'll find a way). Terror daw ang prof.

 

EEE 31 – Mukhang medyo kakayanin ko ito, ang kaso lang para maview mo ang mga lectures, magsubmit ng assignments, etc., kailangan pa rin ng PC at net. Sana lang magbigay ng hard copy, mas sanay ako din at mas convenient siya. Hirap talaga pag malayo sa bahay.

 

English 11 – Ok naman siya, magaling ang prof, the only problem is madaming assignments and readings, pero kakayanin ko pa din. ^^

 

            Ano ang course ko? Computer Engineering. Bakit ito ang napili ko? Di ko pa din alam eh, Accountancy kasi talaga ang nais ko, yun nga lang sa kasawiang palad, di ako natanggap, triple quota pala yun, dahil sa pag aasam na sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas makapasok, tinanggap na rin ang CoE, pero malay natin, baka magustuhan ko din ang course ko.

Memories of Bali

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Other

Kaya siguro MoB ang title nito kasi puro memories na lang ang natira sa Bali. LOL

Again, di ko na naman napanood ito nung pinalabas sa ABS a few years back, kasi parang di ko type ang story at tsaka yun ata yung time na di talaga ako mahilig manood ng mga primetime shows (just like KSS). So dahil sa may hangover pa ako sa movie na The Classic at kay Jo In Sung na rin, pinanood ko ‘to. But before that basa muna ako siempre ng summary nito.

Tragic ang ending nito. Siguro alam niyo na, pero di ko sinisisi si Paolo (JIS) kung bakit niya pinatay sina Ryan and Erika. Di naman talaga siya ang may kasalanan, I think na kay Erika yung fault, di naman kasi niya malinaw sa sarili niya kung sino talaga ang mahal niya eh, personally I would prefer Jo In Sung (haha). Pero we couldn’t put all the blame on her. And for that masasabi kong okay na din para kay Ha Ji Won yung role, pero di talaga maiiwasan na kainisan mo yung character niya.

One thing na napansin ko dito ay yung story, nung una light pa lang siya, may pagkacomedy ba, pero as the story thickens, nagiging dark na. Para tuloy ayaw mo na panoorin, the only thing that made me continue it is because of In Sung pati na rin si So Ji Sup (minsan), kaabang abang talaga sila. I would rate this siguro an 8 (out of ten).

Lastly, napaka disturbing ng pag iyak ni Jo In Sung dito, ang sagwa, imbes na maiyak ako, natatawa pa ko. No offense, kahit like ko si Insung, di talaga maiwasang di mapansin yun.

Sorry, but I didn't really enjoy reading this book. Kaya ko lang siya binasa is because nakita ko sa mga friends ko (sa friendster) na isa itong book na 'to sa mga favorites nila. But then, di naman ako nagandahan sa kanya, di ko type yung story. Ewan ko ba, ako lang ba ang may ayaw nito?

Second Semester

            Start na ng second sem yesterday. Medyo magulo pa kasi marami pang taong kulang sa subjects. Ako naman, ayos na. Parang feeling ko nga isa ako sa mga swerteng tao, kasi naman nakuha ko lahat ng class na inenlist ko. Bonus pa dun eh yung math 53 kasi yung prof ko e yung prof ko last sem (go sir carl!).

            Since unang araw pa lang ng class, yung iba sa mga prof ko ay hindi nagpakita, pero that's ok, para mas maraming free time. Hmmm, ano ba ang masasabi ko this sem, before magstart ang sem na 'to, sinabi ko sa aking sarili na kailangan ng mag aral ng mabuti, marami kasing majors ngayon. Ayon pa sa aking nasagap na balita, terror daw yung prof ko sa EEE 11, gaanong katotoo kaya iyon? Well, di dapat magpasindak, kailangan ng mag focus sa studies at ayusin ang buhay. Sana lang matapos ko on time ang course ko. Sana, sana.

            Huling pahabol: sana maibalik na sa dati ang tuition fee, masyadong pahirap sa mga estudyante, mintakin mo bang yung isang nakasabay ko na student eh one fourth lang ng tuition fee ko ang kanya. JUNK TOFI (tamad na kong magtype, lol)

My Lovely Sam Soon

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

Although pinalabas na siya sa GMA before, wala naman akong chance na mapanood ang KSS nang buo. I’ve watched a few episodes, and nagenjoy ako.

After about a year (or more), napagisipan ko ng bilhin ang series na ‘to. Di naman nakapagsisisi, kasi sobrang ganda and sobrang nakakatawa, trust me. Simula sa simula hanggang katapusan, tawa na ako ng tawa. Typical yung story na nainlove ang isang rich guy sa isang commoner but the only difference is si Sam Soon, ‘coz she’s fat. This is the first series na napanood ko na fat yung bida, plus ang kakaiba pa, di tinry ng mga writers na papayatin yung character niya. Very inspiring yung story lalo na sa mga chubby girls, kasi kahit mataba ka di pa rin naman katapusan ng mundo, you could still find the man for you, at malay mo he’ll turn out to be just the same as the one Sam Soon’s got. Di ba sobrang hot ni Hyun Bin? He’s not gwapo (aminado ako dun), pero he’s hot, may something sa kanya na talaga namang mamahalin ng mga girls.

Ang nakakainis lang sa series na ‘to eh si Hannah (name used sa GMA), kasi ang ganda ganda niya, sobrang hinhin, mayaman and mabait, habang pinapanood ko nga eh naisip ko na lang, ano kaya ang laban ni Sam Soon diyan? Pero luckily, nahulog pa rin si Cyrus (name used in GMA) kay Sam Soon, o di ba bongga? My fav. Scene would probably be nung birthday ni Sam Soon nung umakyat siya sa bundok (or hill?). Nakakatouch. ^^ BTW, same writers pala nagsulat ng Foxy Lady and KSS (no wonder).

The Classic

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romance

Is it possible for someone to fall in love at a movie? That’s exactly what I was thinking after watching The Classic.

Watching this movie is not originally on my plan. I was watching America’s Next Top Model and I’m on the next to the last episode, when it came to the season finale, I’ve found out that the dvd didn’t contain the finale. So I was scanning through my dvd’s and I’ve decided to watch a movie, and The Classic struck my attention, not that it’s pretty, at first I wasn’t enthusiastic to watch this, but since I’ve read in a forum that it’s good, I decided to try.

Before watching it, I have my mind set that the setting would be from the 70’s (as in old), so when the film started rolling, I told myself that “prepare to be bored”. However a music that I was so into came into the picture, CANON in D is playing, and you know what, I so so so so love canon, and that started my interest in the film. Then the name of the actors/actress began to appear at the screen, and this name completely aroused my attention – JO IN SUNG (Memories of Bali). OMG, as in o-m-g. JIS is like one of my ultimate crushes, and I wasn’t really expecting that he will be one of the lead in this movie. Hooray, I was in for a trip. Haha.

Okay, the story is very good. There’s sort of two stories in it, one is about the past, and another is about the present. Sobrang nakakakilig, especially yung story dun sa present, I was blushing, and I told myself, asan ang puso ko? nasan na ang puso ko? At that point, I knew that I am totally in love with the movie. It’s perfect, plus, there are no boring parts. There are twists and I so love them, they made me think, and all the while I was wondering, how the hell did that happened? So what I did is I replayed it a few minutes before, and I get it. It’s so sweet. My favorite korean movie ever.

Death Note

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Other

hmmmm.. most frustrating anime i've ever watched. only watched this because of L, and when he died, nothing make sense, even though N came as a replacement, no one can replace L. (cries)

I can't even think of a reason why Light became the Protagonist, so much for intelligent people. See, if you watch this, you'll see that intelligent people are indeed scary, so does that mean that people studying in UP are scary? (yabang eh).

The story's kind of tiring, too much mental fights, honestly the only part that i've liked is when Light's memory was wiped off, and he and L sort of "bonded". But after he regained his memory back, the plot grows darker, and there seems to be no hope for the people. How can an anime be this hopeless? (sighs) I want L back!

A Trip Back

            Yesterday, I, together with my previous classmates visited our former school. Nothing’s change that much, except for a few. Our main entrance is far prettier than in my senior year (unfair!). There are a few more new additions to our school, and I think given a few more years, ASJ will improve a lot (since it’s only 5 years old), which makes me envious, haha, wished I get to experience that.

 

            I’ve seen almost all of my teachers; it’s good, seeing them. Kinda makes me want to go back into high school. We exchanged a few words, relating some of our experiences. Some have said that I’ve grown fatter, some said the opposite (I believe that I’ve grown fatter, honestly).

 

            We watched the CAT, naki”epal” kumbaga. ^^ Hmmm, about the new batch of officers, I think I can’t comment on that. Harhar. We stayed till 7 in the evening, and then we walked (as we usually did).

 

            One thing’s funny, my old classmates didn’t change a bit, they’re still as funny as far as I can remember. We shared stories, laughed our hearts out, teased each other, etc. They’re still as cool as before. We also talked of our other classmates who weren’t present. Like this male classmate of ours who is now “crush ng bayan” (daw) in his school, the thing is he isn’t that noticeable during our senior year :D.  Then another classmate of ours (who isn’t present too) ace his chemistry subject (as in naka uno!), but he only sleeps in our class way back. There are still many stories to tell, but I wouldn’t tell them. Baka magalit na sila sa kin. Mwahahahahahaha.

200 Pounds Beauty/Daddy Long Legs/100 Days with Mr. Arrogant.

I’m not only into asianovelas, but Korean movies as well. This is probably the effect of being bored to death. Anyway, these three movies are the last ones I’ve seen. (no pics this time)

 

200 Pounds Beauty – Okay, the reason why I’ve watched this is because of Joo Jin Mo, remember my post about how I am addicted to Fashion 70s? Well it’s because of JJM. However I do not like his character in this movie, but the movie’s still okay. The OST’s are good. One thing more, I didn’t truly enjoy watching this because of the subtitles. It’s crazy, grrr. What more could you expect from a pirated copy? LOL

 

Daddy Long Legs – hmmm. Still familiar with the show Judy Abott? It’s sort of the same with this movie; the only thing is this movie is TRAGIC. Why kill Daddy Long Legs? Hmmpp. Another confession, I’ve thought that Hyun Bin (from Kim Sam Soon) would play the lead, so I was like waiting for him to pop out of the screen, and I’ve finally seen him, but then as the movie is nearing its end, it seemed like he is not the lead. Huhu. It would be better if he is Daddy Long Legs, it suits him. Hmmmm, all in all the movie’s good, so much twist, I’ve also cried at some part.

 

100 Days with Mr. Arrogant – this movie’s hilarious. I was laughing the entire time. No boring parts. However, I do not like the lead actor, I’m not a fan of him, you see. Wouldn’t it be great if some hotter guys got his role? (ooppsss sorry.) No offense. Haha. And one thing I’ve noticed Ha Ji Won (the lead actress) has so many movies. She’s also the lead in Daddy Long Legs and so many other movies, is she really that famous? Well, well, try watching this movie, it’s really funny. Haha. Plus, it’s sweet.

 

 

Note.

(I’m not really a fan of Korean movies, and koreanovela, I love chinovelas more, but because the titles that I would want to watch aren’t available yet, so that’s why I’m sticking to koreanovelas.)

 

Soon to watch (hopefully):

Why Why Love

Romantic Princess

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e

It Started with a Kiss 2

 

(I’m waiting for the vcd copy of this titles, I wouldn’t want to buy dvd 9 of these, ‘coz the subtitles s*ck, one thing more most of my favorite asian series are on vcd format. Haha, so one would know if I really love a series.)

 

bored.

i'm bored. as in so soo bored. sa unang pagkakataon sa buhay ko sobrang natatamad na ko sa bahay. Ginawa ko na ata ang lahat, manood ng walang humpay, kumain ng kumain at matulog kung kailan ko man naisin pero bakit ganun pakiramdam ko wala pa ring nangyayari sa buhay ko. Ayoko pa din namang pumasok sa school. Sobrang may kulang. Yun nga lang di ko pa rin malaman.

Ano bang nagyayari sakin? sarap sanang magbakasyon sa ibang bansa, yun nga lang wala akong pera. gusto ko sanang magmarathon ng iba pang mga series kaso nakakasawa na, sarap sanang kumain pero minsan nakakaumay na. Pilitin ko mang matulog ng matulog minsan hindi talaga kakayanin. Hay sana mayaman na lang ako, para wala ng iisipin. grr.

bored ka rin bang kagaya ko?

Coffee Prince

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Other

The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye, Goong) is not easy: she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to setlle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul’s grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his “homosexuality”?


Coffee Prince is worth the laugh. All the actors/actress have done perfectly well. But what’s more interesting is Han Kyul’s dilemma about his sexuality. HAHA. It’s somewhat the same as Hana Kimi, but I would prefer it more if CP includes more romantic scenes between the two lead. There is no antagonist in this series, which is good (I think). Anyhow, there’s no boring part. One thing I noticed in Korean series is that the males always love to show their body. LOL.
