[Now Playing] CNBLUE - Come On

Come On - CNBLUE

Current Love Affair - Arang and the Magistrate

So it started last night,  after a 3-hour extension in the office. I was supposed to go and have a little retail therapy but my heel isn't cooperating so I go home straight and just leaned into Doritos. I thought of rebelling on my diet (ha! I am not even starting and here comes "rebelling"), I ordered along with Ate Sardy's sprite, 2 Cokes in can.

Now as my Coke came, I ripped open my Doritos and played Arang and the Magistrate. I love Shin Min Ah in fact I envy her dimples. It just that when she was portrayed a very beautiful lady in Gumiho, boy, I was really convinced. But in this drama, I came to watch it because of Lee Jun Ki. And my.. my.. my.. does he has the perfect jaw line? I laughed hard as I read the comments in dramabeans about seeing his abs, post military abs that is! You don't need to go down to see those comments. One commented that LJK is not pretty but someone beg to disagree and posted beautiful pictures of him! And yes, I think he is pretty! 

CNBLUE Live in London - Screams, screams and more screams!

It was announced rather abruptly that CNBLUE will have a concert in London (haha! as If I can fly to London just to see them). It was yesterday and I didn't post about it here on my blog, because we are so sad because of the possibility of seeing them here in Dubai is rather slim.  Though we are happy that CNBLUE's popularity reached UK or at least reached the Asians there and the Asians at heart. It may not that big of an event, but for a fangirl like me it is big and its our pride too! A proud CNBLUE fan. I remembered Shiwon for a moment there. Ha!

Dozens of fancam flood my tumblr, twitter and cnbluestorm.com, but this one is more than 1 hour video, which also mean an hour of screaming from this fangirl (BakaSensei2011). Thanks for sharing!

I will still whine about us not getting anything from BLUESTORM concert that we attended early this year in Hong Kong not to mention that my camera got busted and I have to deposit and pay 20 HKD which equivalent to a decent meal in McDonalds. BOOOO! Every time that I'll see a fancam I will always remember that I attended a CNBLUE concert and I failed to have a fancam of my own.

Hope to see another concert of CNBLUE with Odie. :)

Desktop - Clean with an aegyo from Joo Won!

Sigh, things I do when things sort of turned a little bad. I blame the one who gave me such unpleasant day yesterday and you know how they say that if your week started bad it will roll over to the rest of your week. For me its rather infecting with the rest of the week with badness. I prayed for the incident yesterday which was just over the phone for it not to ruin my entire day and the remaining part of my work week. It did not happen though,  and I'll view it as a test. When bad things happened I am so careful not to post anything on FB where all of my friends will get to see my frustration over a matter as if seeking sympathy. And no I would not do that for I have a Father that I can call on to anytime and would hear, understand and comfort me. I told it to 2 of my friends after, and tweet it (I have 2 followers, ha!) just to let it out.

Today, well as I said it rolled over to next day. I received an email that one of my post was removed (it was not really removed, the status was changed to "private" meaning its not searchable) due to DMCA something. I just posted a link and was not even hosting the site but that entry was killed. Which is rather sad. UGGGGGH! I just thought of something to say but it may end up a 10 paragraph bickering with the world that we cannot change.

I usually would do a tedious job to set aside anything from thinking about it. Now I "cleaned" my Desktop. Awww, I should have taken a screen shot of my old desktop and you can't help but gape on my desktop, as I like to deposit any type of files that I am working on in there. ha!

I read interviews of Joo Won and  Park Ki-woong posted in dramabeans and I saw that aegyo from Joo Won (there are tons of it) and I felt that it should grace my desktop.

I feel better. :)

How to become Yoon Yoon Jae - Getting into SIG fever!

I just have to post this! I enjoyed watching SNL. If I do channel surfing and see SNL, I'll definitely stop and finish a skit or two. That show never failed to give me good laughs. Now it landed into Korea's boobtube on cable (tvN).

With the popularity of Answer me 1997 / Reply 1997, which ended last this week and still have hang-over (just saw it with subs last night this morning), it also invaded SNL and it could not be more suitable for us to have a feast to see Seo In Guk on it!

Check out the skit below: How to become Yoon Yoon Jae. Its so funny! Its a BWAHAHAHAHA funny!

Many thanks to karenkristie!

I had a great day -- daebak day! Mixed emotions and a lot of laughs! But this one seals it! Goodbye Answer me 1997.

The Finale is Up (Raw) - Answer me 1997 and Recap

So its here, the Answers! I'm sure its DAEBAK! Off to watch!

Subs may come later tonight but if you would like to know about the conversation especially towards the end about first loves, you can read the subs here! Thanks gurls!

Code Name BLUE!

I made a silly mistake when I ordered this album last August 28.  I forgot to check the option, "Contact me for changes in shipping" (something like that) and the result was cancellation of my order. I got hysterical and almost ordered in CDJapan which the charge for shipping is so expensive even if using EMS. Good thing I was talking with my friend who bought the album along with me and I got into my senses that the cost of shipping will let us buy one more CD, so that was  a big NO WAY! I communicated with HMV, but then ordered again. And that is when I learned that I forgot to tick that option and that is why I am not receiving the email for the confirmation of my order even if there's a change on the price. He! Even on my second order, I forgot to tick it and good thing after I ordered, I emailed them saying that it is completely fine if they have to adjust the charges. Whew! Charge to experience!

All the time this morning, I jolt in my seat whenever somebody comes from the door. I just wanted to see a man dress in a red shirt, telling me he is from Empost -- a mail man! When the man in red finally comes, he called my name and I didn't say, "Yes its me" but rather "Yehey!" and he was like "Are your Flora?" apparently there are 2 parcels for our office. Haha! I told him "No" and gave the my package and I gladly signed it.

[caption id="attachment_2452" align="aligncenter" width="480"] Code Name BLUE on my office desk[/caption]

It did not take a long time for me to pop it inside the CD drive and play it! My face is wearing a big grin all the time the Code Name BLUE plays. As I said before, I did not download the album for I wanna hear if from the CD. The same thing I did for Ear Fun. Some of the songs were released on their mini albums and there are new ones too! Its so worth it! Ugggh! that looks like an understatement.

I like track no. 8, These Days, and Have a Good Night is so catchy it landed as my ringtone already! I like it when someone sings about coffee, my can't-live-without beverage! I'm surprise to hear Track no. 7, No More its a track that you can dance with. CNBLUE indeed has evolved. I noticed a lot of great guitar works.

Its so nice to see a lot of "Jung Yong Hwa" on the inlay card for the Lyrics and Music! One hot talented front man! One thing that I like about CNBLUE is the combination of Yong Hwa and Jong Hyun voices. They both sing the right part of the song. There is no song that you could say that "It should be Jong Hyun's part or Yong Hwa's part" for me its perfect till now. Although its very clear that the boys are venturing out to different genres (yes, even dance), which I like, and I hope they will not lose their signature. I still want to remember that they are the same band that brought us I'm a Loner.

Good luck to your concert in London and the series of shows in Japan in October! Yes I am bitter for not being in any of those countries.  Hope they will stop by Dubai and I know who will have a heart attack just with that thought! haha!

[UPDATE] Kimchidrama is BACK!

But with a new URL mykimchidrama.blogspot.com! I knew they will be back in no time! Just in time to post the subbed Answer me 1997 tomorrow or maybe the next day.. please!

The new URL is http://www.mykimchidrama.net/, though you can still use the above URL, but its better to bookmark using the new URL and its (again) mykimchidrama.net. :)

[Lyrics & Download] Our Love Like This - Answer me 1997 OST Part 2

At first I didn't like the song, well as much as I like All For You. As soon as it was released, I downloaded the MV and ripped it to mp3. I sent it also to Odessa for her to enjoy and we kinda the same with the not-so-liking-it-as-much-as-All-for-you kind of thing. But after I've seen the duet in Mnet Countdown last week, I fell for the song. It seems that it has more heart now that All For You. Just now I thought of searching lyrics the romanized so that I can sing along a little bit, and the English translation which blew me away!

Can you love me even though I’m not enough for you?
I have nothing but love to give to you so do you still love me?

Let’s not say those kinds of things from now on – your heart right now is enough for me
Because we have loving hearts, which are bigger than anything in this world

Someday (far ahead) even if we get old and tired (get tired)
Let’s promise to love just like now – till the day you are in my arms
And we close our eyes (even on that day) let’s be together

I was always lonely – without you, time was long and dark
Now I feel happiness because I have your scent with me

I feel something as I pass the darkness to meet the sunlight
Now I’m not afraid of anything because I am in your arms

After time passes (far ahead) and life becomes hard (becomes hard)
Let’s promise to lean on each others shoulders
Remember today until the day we are together

I have no regrets because we have our love

Far ahead in the days, when life gets hard, let’s lean on each others shoulders
Till the day you are in my arms and we close our eyes (close our eyes)
Until the end of the world, let’s be together

Just like now (just like now) Just like right now (just like right now)
Forever

Awwwww, this will be a good wedding song. You can download both songs here, All For You and Our Love Like This. I still have to see the movie which it was first used as OST. I've got the original version too but its on my laptop at home

Whew! A new banner

Its 1 am, what am I doing? Its Friday, well now early Saturday. I spend the whole day at church. I am glad to see them, hearing concerns about my well being, I am really touched. Recently I've been quite a cry baby. Going back to the "banner", I am glad to create a new one, to celebrate how AWESOME, Answer me 1997 or Reply 1997. Its ending on Tuesday and we will (hopefully) get all the answers and wishing it will be a good one. Its pretty much given, well one answer that is, about Shi-won's husband and the baby's father, which the writer can still make it as a big joke, thus turning us into a big joke ourselves! But I think the writers love their dear life, so they will stick to what the people of Kdramaland wants, for Yoon-jae and Shi-won to end up together.  Reading back what I wrote, hehe, there is a hint of threat to the writers as well. haha! You guys (writers) are daebak!

Gaksital ended last last Wednesday, and its time to move on but to yet another goodbye -- Answer me 1997. I still have not posted anything on Gaksital's last episode. I think I owe this blog an entry, after all the things I posted about my love to Joo Woonie and of course Gaksital! I still have to buy a Pickachu toy to be named after him (I have a panda plush toy named Yong, hehe). Just saying Gaksital makes me sad to realize that it ended and I should move on, thus the closing down of my old banner.

Its difficult to come up with a banner really, especially if you know little of Photoshop. Wish I am artistic and would start to practice more Photoshop.

I wonder which drama will I watch next, though I am seeing To the Beautiful You (TTBY), not really watching I just go the cute parts for I know the story also. I have the same feeling still about the second lead not that Lee Hyun Woo is so cute A.DO.RA.BLE, but I think he deserves the girl, because he is the one who takes care of Jae Hee from the beginning! I still have to see episodes 9 and 10 again to see Lee Hyun Woo, and to see Minho my SHINee bias at first, till I saw Taemin dance!

Answer me 1997 Episode 15 - Recap Anyone?

No matter how popular that drama is, subs gets a little later the week. It is actually comes earlier now compared to like 3 weeks ago. I remember watching  the first two episodes and waited another 2 weeks to get the next two.  The only thing that can help us -- Hangeul-challenged-kdrama-addicts is a recap. For me dramabeans is the ultimate recaps blog, decent, sleek and neat and hilarious as well. Its intelligent and maybe that is why I was drawn to that site ever since we started reading recaps.

Going back, if you are dying for a recap of last night's daebak episode of Answer me 1997, you can read it here. Amazing work as well and love their pseudonames :)

Answer Me 1997: Ep 16 Preview [UPDATE]

double AAAACCCCCKKKKK!

Answer me 1997 episode 15 is up!

Its raw but its better than nothing! See it here.

Answer me 1997 episode 14 subbed!

It's finally here! Too bad that i am so sick. My throat hurts a lot even swallowing water is painful. Been down for 3 days and this fever just won't leave me alone. Tuesday is just around the corner! And we know what that means! Yay!

Shipping Seo In Guk and Jung Eun Ji!

The thing that I don't fancy much about fandom is fanfic, and part of the fanfic is the shipping. Shipping from the word relationship and yes I just encountered another meaning of that word because of Kpop fandom. Now as I wish that the characters in one of my contender for Kdrama of the year, Answer me 1997 or Reply 1997 namely Yoon-jae and Shi-won to end up together (please not with hyung Taewoon!), I realized that I am a shipper now. yay! Last night as I cannot get a decent sleep because of my fever, I scrolled into twitter and found tweets from soompi about them singing on stage for Mnet Countdown! The stage was setup nicely and really those two Seo In Guk and Jung Eun Ji have some chemistry! This maybe influenced by their kiss in 32 minutes of episode 14 (yes I know exactly which part hehe!) but really I like to see them together, thus me being a shipper!  Below are the videos I got from soompi.com. They are so adorable and decent singers!

Now given those two duets are they (the writers) securing us that they are the one who will end up together? Still questions lingering and Shi-won ending up with Taewoong is gonna be a big blow for me and I already said to my kdrama friends that I'll boycott kdrama for a month! If only I know how to reach the writers and beg for the ending to be good, which will remind you a scene from this show about Shi-won's mom calling pestering the writer to change the ending of her show to uplift and give hope to the cancer patients which the writer gladly obliged.

Episode 13 - Answer me 1997 is up with subs!

Its here finally! Thanks to our kdramafairies!

Gaksital - Some Good Things Never Last [SPOILER]

Yes its from  a Barbara Streistand's song, and Gaksital is like a lover to me, like most of the kdramas that I watch. But Gaksital had taken a big part of heart since June when I considered watching it after QIHM.

Tonight it will end. I am seeing bloodshed and tears from my eyes. Somebody will die! I fear for the ending, as I commented on one website, sometimes a drama can ruin the whole thing by a tiny bit of a scene. I hope that the ending will not be sloppy.  I want the ending to be as perfect as possible, swiftly executed.

Those shots kills me. I screamed "Kang-to, you can't kill Shunji!" Really you can't kill your best friend.  Sobs..sobs..sobs..

Its good to see a smiling Shunji again. That is what Kang-to remembers, the kindness of the then Shunji. There is still hope in Shunji's character, though we may not see it fully, but I am sure we will see redemption. I hope Shunji will not die. I hate it when drama kills all the baddies and sometimes the good ones too (the second lead usually) as if they don't know what to do, so lets just kill them.  I saw it in Moon/Sun that is why I hated that part. As for Kang-to, its also been a while since I see a genuine smile and I can see his dimples too! And if I may say this, I am really a sucker when it comes to dimples! Going back, I love the ring made from a wildflower. I wish I could get myself with HD copy of Gaksital episodes for the cinematography is just daebak! I will not talk about the romantic part between Kangto and Mokdan, for I didn't feel anything. And I blame you "Stairway Kiss" of Yoon-jae and Shi-won! He!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="580"] image credit: dramabeans.com[/caption]

I didn't get to see the last part of this episode, for I have to come to work. I watched the 3 parts while choosing what to wear and ironing them! As for Rie, I know that she got nowhere to go, but still I like to see your character to have that final kick and sometimes its better to be with the one who loves you, and the sword contrary to what you said, can cover it all! Aaaak! hehe!

It ends tonight, I am bracing myself. I will watch it RAW even if I will only understand, a few worlds.  I was not that successful in AM1997 with this technique, Pausing the video when I think the dialogue is really important, and try to type it in Google's translator and have it translated! Is that cleaver a thing to do? For a moment it was.. until I am lost in translation. haha! In which I planned to resolve by seriously self studying Hanguel.

Its (episode 27)up and subbed in English over at kimchidramas.net and dramacrazy.net. Oh dramabeans posted the recaps too!

UPLOADED! - Answer me 1997 - Ep 13 and 14

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeee! I don't care if I don't get to understand anything, but I will see it now! Hope to see it with subs tomorrow night!

Its over here at dramacrazy or dailymotion

Answer me 1997 Episode 12 is subbed!

Super bitin! That's what I've been feeling the whole time after watching episode 11 of Answer me 1997. I got home late and tired. So tired and sleepy that I can't get myself watch Gaksital for I know it will be heavy and my mind and body just can't take it.

I chose to watch episodes 10 and 11 of Answer me 1997. Even with the knowledge that it will never be  enough and that I'll just crave for more and that somehow I will not mind spoilers that Shi-won ends up with Yoon-Jae! hehe.

If only I can see it now, episode 12 that is! It was a good morning to me for tonight, I'll see episode 12 and it will be all about the RING!
