Pyaar Dosti Hai

woah-ho!!!

2008-07-23T15:30:36Z

EARTHQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!
That lasted pretty long. Or at least longer than normal. I wasn't sure whether I should stay on my bed or wait it out or not. Kind of freaky.

>~< Aghh...there's absolutely just not enough time in the day.

2008-07-21T14:53:20Z

I should seriously be reading the next volume of Special A that I have but I haven't had much time to do so. In between studying, video-gaming, napping and reading パパアイラビュー, I've not been able to read it much. Well, I guess I can try to start it tomorrow while I'm on the train.

Anyways, I was reading パパアイラビュー by Mishima Kazuhiko earlier. It's such a sweet story. Although it's a simple BL, stories like that really touch my heart. haha...Plus Akio, which in Japanese is 秋生, is so cute. Love his name too! ^D^
For some reason, I find names that end in 生 or 王 to be very cute. (笑)
And stories that involve young children are so adorable.

Today was Marine Day in Japan, so it was a holiday. Thank goodness. It was nice to get an extra day to relax and chill.
The weekend was good. Tried to save money and not go out so much so stayed home on Sunday.
On Saturday, we met with hinoai for some karaoke time and after met up with _miyuchan_ and Alice. We tried to go to the English pub in Shinjuku by the Keio Plaza Hotel but got lost somewhere along the way. XD
Instead, we ended up going to an isolated Dennys. I ate curry and rice and some chocolate brownie with ice cream dessert. It was pretty good!

Ok, I've gotta finish up some things before bed. Chau!

Fated to Love you 18...

2008-07-18T15:04:03Z

had me ROFLing throughout. Well, at least until the last few minutes. That's when things really get good and we all get left on the cliffhanger of the week. ;________; Waah, can't wait for next episode!

Anyways, I love this episode. It made me laugh so much. My neighbors were probly wondering what's going on. XD

Also, I think Anson was way too calm about being in the bed naked with Cun Xi. LOL
But man I loved when he went to the Chen Family house and he and Xin Yi's sister were flirting with their eyes...and intermittently having some sort of secret conversation just with their EYES. ROFL. That was too funny! Even funnier is when they each explained what they were saying to each other but they both had different interpretations of what was being said. OMG! Love the writing for that scene, too funny!

And the actress who plays Xin Yi's mom, also doubling as the role of the Mamasan at the host club was just awesome hilarious. haha. Cun Xi kept trying to touch her mole. XD

I am seriously going to miss this show when it ends. I think there are only 4 more episodes left. It'll be so sad when it ends. :( This drama's such a blast!

And finally!!! Cun Xi knows!!! ...Now go tell Xin Yi what really happened!

p^0^9 Jia yo Cun Xi! Jia yo!

This chapter of Special A has gotta be one of my favorites. It's so cute when Hikari realizes that she's the only one in the group who still calls Kei by his last name only. And due to their "rivalry", she refused to refer to him by his first name since they were little. x3

So she realizes that she always refers to him as simply Takishima and seeing that everyone else calls him Kei, Hikari decides she'll do it too. But despite all her efforts, she just can't seem to blurt out his name...at least not properly. Just when she thinks she's got the hang of saying it...she ends up saying some other "Ke" word like "Kero." LOL. Which makes for an amusing read and even sweeter scene once Takishima realizes what she's been trying to say all this while. I love how he got her to say his name without her even noticing it. And when she did notice it...ahhhh, so sweet!! >D<

I really love this manga. So, I'm nearly finished with volume 7 and will probly get to volume 8 tomorrow. Only a few more pages to go...as I was reading it on the train earlier. I also love that in this volume Tadashi and Akira start dating. Akira's confession to him was really awesome. It was nice to see her finally let out her true feelings for him.
Plus serious Tadashi is so damn HOTT!!!

Also, OMG!!! Yahiro and Megumi dating!! Waaahhh!??! I totally didn't see that coming. Despite Yahiro's really sadistic ways, he's really a nice guy and I've always loved him. haha...so I'm really glad that he'll be able to find happiness. Plus ZOMG!?!? MEGUMI friggin' talked! That doesn't happen everyday. So rare! So you know, Yahiro has quite an impact on her.

OMG! This totally made my day...Dhoom Taana baby!!

2008-07-12T17:55:34Z

Learned about this courtesy of wasabi_girl1.
Those of you on my FL who've not already seen it, really should!

Dhoom Taana on "So You Think You Can Dance"

And this would be the original "Dhoom Taana"

Yeah, Bollywood totally rocks! Hope they do more of it on So You Think You Can Dance!

And so marks my return to Korean period drama...

2008-07-12T16:32:46Z

Iljimae

Once upon a time, in the Joseon Dynasty, there lived a young boy born to a noble family. His name was Geom. This young boy was kind-hearted and quite intelligent. Just from looking at him, you could tell he was destined for greatness. Despite his elite status, he lived a respectable and humble life. Geom's father, Lee Won Ho was a well-known nobleman, schloar, poet...whatever, in his own right. He was also quite close to the king----a relationship that would end in betrayal. Geom and his father were quite close, as well. And Geom lived a very happy, priveledged perfect life with his mom, dad, and older sister. That is until one fateful day, when his dream life was shattered and his whole world came crumbling down before him. In just an instant, he went from utter riches to pure poverty.

Unfortunately, the king has it in for Geom's dad and has him killed. Luckily for Geom, his father locks him up in a wardrobe closet just before the men come in to kill him. However, Geom still witnesses his father's death and becomes traumatized. He is luckily saved by kind-hearted theif who eventually takes him in and treats him as if he were his own son. Seeing the trauma the boy has been through, the kind soul decides it is better for Geom to forget his previous life. Geom eventually forgets his past and grows up believing that the theif and his wife are his real parents. The thief gives Geom a new name, Yong, and a new life for Geom is born.

Years later, we see how Geom has changed. He has become the total oppsossite of what he was. He hates going to school, goofs around all day, and is always getting into trouble. In short, he's a mischiefmaker for his poor parents. Not a sign of his nobility anywhere to be seen within his current personality. xD In fact, he gets bulllied by the nobles when he tries to go to school with them...well he's pretty much forced to at his father's urging. //sigh// If only they knew who he really was...well...maybe not because then he'd get killed. Ahhhh...well, it's complicated. hehe. ^^;;;

In anycase, various people come to kill Yong because they suspect him of being the long lost son of Lee Won Ho. There are many who are skeptical about whether the young boy that was thought to be Geom and killed earlier was the real Geom. So, many suspect Yong is he, However, he has no idea what they're going on about and why all these ppl think he's Geom. So sadly, Yong has to put up with several punishments and attempted captures, etc time and time again.
Such a pitiful guy he is really. Anyhow, in the process of all this Yong's memories begin to come back to him. He again remembers who he is and where he came from. He returns back to the home of his childhood but angry at himself that he allowed himself to forget despite promising that he would never forget. And so begins his quest to find his mother and sister and to avenge his father's death. And soon after this, begins the story of Iljimae

Illjimae seems to be my new k-drama fix. The beginning where Lee Jun Ki is seen as Iljimae is kind of cheesy but once the story got the children's storyline...now that's when it got to be really good. Man, the kid actors in this drama are soo good. I adore Shi Hoo/Ja Dol! Both child and adult version of him. haha. He's so kind and nice. And he looks really good with Eun Chae.

Alot of things within it, remind me of Hong Gil Dong. Although, I may like HGD better, but we'll see. I like alot of the connections between the characters in Iljimae. I mean to think how Ja Dol is actually Geom's half-brother. That's really something I'm looking forward to in seeing the two of them discovering this. Especially now, that Yong practically hates him. There are just alot of tragic things within that relationship.
I can't wait to see what happens in episode 11. Things are really getting good.

I'm actually quite torn between the relationship between these two. It's kind of hard to believe that both Bong Soon and Eun Chae fell in love with Geom after only meeting him once (well maybe twice for Bong Soon) when they were children. I mean sure you might like him when your a kid but isn't their a point when you grow up and you realize that it was a childhood crush. I mean you were just kids for goodness sake how the heck could you be in love already? haha So in that sense, the whole childhood love thing kind of is a bit far-fetched. And I don't usually say such things since I'm such a romantic at heart. X3

But yeah, I'm torn between rooting for Geom/Eunchae and Shi Hoo/Eunchae. I mean at least let BongSoon be with the one that's leftover, right? haha

At this point though, Eunchae seems to hate Geom. It seems like she'll be more in love with Iljimae, himself.

Well, at least, Lee Jun Ki continues looking hott! lol

Congratulations Mommy!

2008-07-09T15:32:19Z

Congrats

to my mom for winning a new flat screen TV!!! XD

Ok, now I've got to get to sleep so I won't feel drowsy in the morning. Just got get through one more day.

Jia yo, chiharu! Jia yo!!

Fated to Love You 16

2008-07-06T15:39:37Z

Damn you, Ji Cun Xi...you really know how to make a girl's heart melt!
OMG, he was soo absolutely cute in this episode. I really loved it.
And finally, Xin Yi can see Cun Xi's good intentions. I really can't wait to find out the truth behind those documents. Ana should've just confessed to both of them about what really happened. She's the one who ruined both their lives. Grrr... >[

And man, I can't believe they're implying that Ana could be Dylan's long lost sister. WTFnHzorrrs?!!??! Where the heck did that come from!? It totally threw me for a loop. In any case, I think that little storyline is completely unnecessary and only distracts from the main plot. At this point, I could care less who Dylan's sister is. So long as it's not Chen Xin Yi, who cares? LOL. x3

Catching up!

2008-06-22T15:08:16Z

Just caught up to Junjou Romantica 10 and Itazura na Kiss 10. Still have two more eps of Special A to watch. But yeah, slowly but surely I'm catching up on my anime.

Junjou Romantica is total love, of course. Always leaves me gushing.
I actually cried at ItaKiss with Non-chan and Yuuki. Also love seeing Naoki showing his feelings more. As for Special A, Shimono Hiro is just being too cute with his previews as puppet Tadashi. Haha, makes me wanna just squeeze his little cheeks. Also, feel bad poor Kei-kun. Hikari is seriously torturing you man. x3

Also doing my best with manga. Currently reading Secret Diplomacy of the Minster Excellency volume 2. I'm also still in the middle of catching up to Uwasa no Midorikun and Special A. I've just been so distracted with drawing and gaming. Especially gaming. Didn't even get to play RO much today which sucks cause this week is 2XP week. x3 I don't think I'll have time to fully take advantage of it.

Not to mention I still gotta study. Ugh...there's just not enough time in the day. Hope tomorrow will be an easy day at work.

I at least managed to somewhat clean up my room yesterday. Still have more to clean but I'll do it gradually throughout the week.

Today's Mission:..

2008-06-21T02:58:48Z

Operation Clean-up Room!!!

I've been at it since 9 this morning. And I've just realized I've got a ton of clothes. Now, to figure out how to organize them all. >o

yatta!!

2008-06-18T09:42:41Z

I've been in Mingle mode since I left Meguro and so far I've run into 2 Civvies and 1 ESP'er...which means there must've been someone else nearby playing the same game. xD

waaah...my glasses

2008-06-13T06:03:34Z

P>.< doh! I broke my glasses. Well, one of the screws from the right side came out. I managed to screw it back on with a pair of scissors from sewing kit but gotta go get an eyeglass repair kit to make sure the screw is in their tightly. In the meantime, I'll have to rely on my contacts.
Urghh...

Ok, gotta get ready for bowling tonight. Haven't been bowling in so long, so I'm really looking forward to it. xD

Xin Yi in Shanghai

2008-06-12T15:03:47Z

It was a rather nice and relaxing day I had today. Although I had so much stuff to do, I didn't know what to start on first.
I did however manage to watch Fated to Love You 13. SO DARN GOOD!!

I do really wish that the writers hadn't killed off the baby. I had grown so attatched to Ji Nian Pin dammit. How could they do this to meeeee.~ I could really feel Xin Yi and Cun Xi's pain after all that drama. 'Cuz I was feeling it too. Way to throw a curve ball at us writers!

Anyway, I loved the story like feel they gave to the advance in storyline in ep 13. It kind of makes the drama more moving that way and almost like I'm actually reading a real novel. It's gonna take a while to get used to Xin Yi's new hairstyle tho. Urghh...can't blv I have to wait until next ep to see those two meet up again.

And a meme, as seen on _miyuchan_ 's lj.



		I will marry Ethan.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in Tokyo in our fabulous Shack.
		We will have 4 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Blue Prius.
		I will spend my days as a News Broadcaster, and live happily ever after.

.....?

2008-06-02T14:40:32Z

Um...say what?!?!?

What the heck1?!? I just found out there's a Filipino version of My Girl. OMG! I don't really have time to check it out tonight, but I'm definitely checking it out tomorrow. This I gotta see.

And it looks like Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson are playing the leads. =o

Tough day but making it through

2008-06-01T14:59:37Z

Woke up today feeling nauseous. Realized later that it was a case of the runs. >0<
I reckon it was the Thai chicken rice I had at Jonathan's the other day. Either that or the tap water.....U~U I don't knowz.

So couldn't go to church today because of that and just rested until the late afternoon. We went to meet friends in Ikebukuro around 5. And ate at this new Korean restaurant in Sunshine City. It's really great. Especially for those Korean drama fans, because it's set up to look like a giant stall on the streets of Korea. Next time I stop by there, I'll try to take a picture. It's a really cool theme afterall.

Of course, they had the usual Winter Sonata playing in the background. Man, no wonder Japanese people have such a narrow view of kdrama. >D<
Not that I don't love Winter Sonata, it's just that they overplay it over here.
Reminded me of Who are you? when they were talking about how crazy Japanese people are about Yon-sama. haha XD

Anyway, I wanted to have bibimba and kimchi chige ramen but I couldn't eat the ramen all by myself. And my sister didn't wanna split it unless it was the udon version. >~<
So I sufficed with having just ishiyaki bibimba. It was good but not really spicy enough. I kept adding the chili paste to it to make it hotter but it still wasn't hot enough. XD

There's actually a nice place in Meguro named Chegoya that is a lot more authentic than this place. This one just seemed more catered to Japanese people's taste. But it's still a good place to go. Next time, I defnitely wanna try their kimchi chige.

After dinner, we went to the bookstore and I bought Uwasa no Midori-kun 4&5 and Mayonaka no Ariadone 1 . I'm almost finished with Mayonaka no Ariadone so will begin Uwasa no Midori-kun tomorrow. I know there are at least 3 more volumes out so I'm looking forward to catching. ^D^ Go Midori, Kazuma and Tsukasa!!

Igiari! and Cun Xi, I don't know what to say about you!

2008-05-28T13:39:58Z

IGIARI!!!
haha, I love that word!
I've been playing Gyakuten Saiban whenever I have free time alot lately. And just finished the Turnabout Sisters storyline moving on to the Steel Samurai storyline now. Man, it's too much fun.
I thoroughly enjoyed bringing Mr. White and his flamboyantness to justice. He was a really rather amusing character, afterall.

FTLY OST: I Love Him 99 Times --I didn't really think much of this song when I first heard it during the first episode. But it's really grown on me and is pretty catchy. I love it now! It's rather cute, too.

Fated to Love You 11
And I continue loving this drama.
Crap! I thought that part of the reason why Cun Xi floundered in going back home when his grandmother stormed in and demanded he do so the last episode, was because he just didn't really like the idea of his grandma telling him what to do and of course, he had thought Xin Yi had betrayed him. It seemed like his intention was to go back once he made sure Anna was healed enough or more mentally prepared anyway.

But now, what this with him saying he'll complete his agreement with Xin Yi and be there with her until the baby's born. Then, he'll go right back to Anna?!?! WTH!??! What's the purpose of that? Why go back if he's gonna end up leaving Xin Yi again anyway!? Dude, wake up!!

I mean I can understand his stuck position. She did pretty much get fired because of him and she was only trying to live out her dream. (>o<) Unfortunately for Anna, she chose a bad time to leave him by himself.

Now, it seems he's just confused. Of course, I don't know why he's confused. The obvious choice would be to choose to go back to Xin Yi and Ji Nian Pin. xD

Poor Xin Yi, too! I can't believe she made that baby book and put Anna's name on it. You're Ji Nian Pin's mother Xin Yi, not Anna.

I love how he kept asking </b>Anson</b> about Xin Yi. And I don't know how many times I can say that I love Anson. He is just too funny and cute and too bullied around by his boss. I love that he's grown a sort of affection toward Xin Yi now. Also, love Anson and Grandma teaming up to bring Cun Xi and Xin Yi back together.

OMG, Cun Xi's duck scene with Anson was way too cute too!!LOL.
He was so enthusiastic about explaining what the duck does to Anson. Too hilarious! Does he realize he's cute he's being?? ROFL. Probly not.

Not to mention, Cun Xi getting all flustered about what to say to Xin Yi when he ran into her in the house was just too cute. haha He's fallen and doesn't even know it. kekekeke...>D<

Oh and so far, I don't hate Anna. She's only human afterall. And I don't feel like she really did anything wrong. Well, except the numerous times she stood Cun Xi up. But other than that she's pretty much in love with him and stuff. It's just she's not meant for him.

Can't believe I gotta wait another week for the next episode. Ugh...gonna hafta fill in the time with distractions until then.

feeling better

2008-05-27T14:49:13Z

On day 4 of being sick, but I'm feeling alot better today. I woke up pretty blah and just felt like that most of the day. I think I started to feel better once I got back home. The throat is better but I feel weird talking so tried to keep talking at a minimum today.

Hopefully tomorrow, I'll be even better. Taking it one step at a time, day by day.

I've also noticed alot of my lj friends are also sick. Hope you guys get well soon, too! Jia yo!

Feel awful

2008-05-26T13:00:59Z

I woke up today and still had the sore throat that had been lingering with me since Saturday.
And was just feeling all around sick the whole day...even felt nauseated on the train.

In any case, went to work anyway and somehow made it through the day. I'm hoping this heavy feeling will go away by tomorrow morning. I really don't wanna be working feeling this sick again.

Aaj Hum Bahut Kush Hai!! 누구세요? drama ♥

2008-05-25T11:14:57Z

Ugh...withdrawl!
Withdraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawl, I say!!~~~

Well, this past week I've been glued to a certain Korean drama. I've been finishing up watching Hong Gil Dong and therefore wanted to start another drama. It just so happened I came across 누구세요?/Who are you?. I know I'm a little late in watching it, but hey at least I could watch the whole thing at one time.

What really caught my eye about this drama was Yoon Kye Sang being in the cast. This was the first drama I've seen him in since he left for the army. I'm really glad he's back 'cause I missed him. ^-^
The last drama I saw him in was 형수님은 열아홉/My Sister-In-Law is 19. I know I was impressed with his acting in that drama...as evidenced in this post from back then. But he really, REALLY WOWed me here in Who are you?.

Who are you? stars Yoon Kye Sang, Kang Nam Gil, and Go Ara. Kye Sang plays tough and strict business representative Cha Seung Hyo. Seung Hyo is hardworking and rich but when he deals with business matters--he mainly only cares about making money. He doesn't lets anyone in his life, doesn't allow anyone to get close to him. His tough shell is a product of having to grow up as an orphan and survive in a world of adversity. Seung Hyo also struggles with OCD. He doesn't even dare to step on the floor of his own house without his socks and slippers on.(￣◇￣;)
(Although I find his OCD rather enduring. hehe)

Seung Hyo, unfortunately due to his impatient and stern character, ends up getting into a car accident and facing life in a coma.

Kang Nam Gil is Son Il Gun. Il Gun is the complete opposite of Cha Seung Hyo He is happy-go-lucky with an extremely positive outlook on life. But most importantly, he is a proud father. His life is dedicated day and night to his daughter, Son Young In (Go Ara). He teaches his daughter the phrase "Aaj hum bahut kush hai!" to start off her day ( Loved that they used Hindi!) Il Gun works as a "Quick Delivery Man". Sadly, he ends up dying in a motorcycle accident. It is he that will change Seung Hyo's life forever.

After the accident, Il Gun becomes a ghost and for 3 hours a day takes over Cha Seung Hyo's body. His main goal is to spend more time with his daughter and do the things he didn't get to do with her before dying. For this reason, Il Gun brings Seung Hyo and Young In together. And love develops between the two.

Only Seung Hyo can see the ghost...which leads to many funny incidents in which Seung Hyo ends up appearing as if he is talking to himself. ^0^ Also, because the two are such opposites...seeing Cha Seung Hyo dancing and smiling so happily adds to the crazyness of the situation and of course hilarious moments.

Also, with Young In's dad sharing bodies with Seung Hyo. OMG, so hilarious! Especially, when SH would treat her like a daughter. And when Young In kissed Seung Hyo in the lips not knowing her father was using his body at that moment. So, the expression on Seung Hyo's face was like it was so disgusting. Control yourself girl! LOL.

One of the scenes, I liked from 누구세요?
Young In catching Seung Hyo together with her father's girlfriend and thinking the two of them were dating. Jealousy!

Loved this moment at the end, where Seung Hyo reflects on his moments living with a ghost, Il Gun. And promising to take care of Young In and cherish her for all his life.

I really liked the finale. I think it's actually one of the best and most satisfying that I've seen in a kdrama. I didn't feel it was rushed and just about everything was pretty much resolved.

It's one of those endings that make you feel like you're really gonna miss the characters. As if there's something missing....ahhhh~~withdrawl.
I knew it had to end but didn't want it to. Really miss Seung Hyo. xD

And I will go and rave about Kye Sang a little more. He was soooo, sooo cute here. He still looks so young with his cute babyface, too. He really proved his acting skills in this drama since he was playing two polar opposite chars. I was so impressed. Love Him!

Oh well, I may start on Crazy For You or On-Air next. I also really wanna see 6 Years in Love with Kye Sang and Kim Ha Neul. It looks really cute!♥♥

Fated to Love You 8

2008-05-11T05:02:47Z

Just finished watching ep 8. It's such a cute and hilarious episode. I loved the part where Xin Yi dressed up as a chicken. It's really true. This drama tells a touching story through comedy which is one of the reasons why it's so much fun to watch. X3 I also liked that Dylan made an appearance in this episode. Also, loved when Anson fell into the water. And how he was saying to Cun Xi not to criticize him for the clothes he was wearing (aka his robe and pjs x3) since he had woken up in the middle of the night to help him with his so-called "emergency". LOL.

Oh and can you really beat having the same birthday as the person you love? xD Talk about fate!

I really hope that Cun Xi will also realize that the pen was bought by Xin Yi.
I can't wait for the next episode. It looks like things will get even more interesting with Anna around. I kind of feel bad for her. Not only does she seem to be losing her role as Odette in Swan Lake but she also seems to be losing her boyfriend. Little by little, day by day...he is falling for Xin Yi. \-^D^9

Happy Golden Week!!

2008-05-04T16:07:19Z

Happy Golden Week everyone! And Happy Birthday Christopher!
So, it's been Golden Week the past few days which also means a 4-day weekend for us here. xD
I've been spending most of this weekend going out so have been pretty exhausted coming home.
Will talk more about what I did tomorrow, if I return home early enough.

May go shopping and karaoke tomorrow. Plans haven't been finalized just yet. x3

Hanging with my DS and just relaxin' today

2008-04-29T14:44:18Z

So today was a holiday. I let myself sleep in. And for most of the day just lazed around. But I did also get some Japanese studying in.

I had been meaning to get some new games for my DS for a while.
So last night after school, I finally did. I stopped over at Big Echo and bought a couple of games and accessories for my DS Lite. I got the Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Great Adventure of the 7 Islands and Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun games.

Taiko no Tatsujin: I had read nitaspitas mentioning this game a couple of days ago and thought it would be fun to play. Plus, it's got L'Arc~en~ Ciel's Daybreaks's Bell as one of the songs. That was an added bonus. I was also recc'd it by one of my students. xD Now, I can practice taiko anytime.

I also wanted to get a game where I could practice my kanji. I ended up getting Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun. It's a pretty cool game. And it allows me to practice kanji from 1st year elementary up to high school. It's a great resource. And it teaches you proper stroke order, all the different readings and meanings and even example sentences, as well as tell you where you went wrong when writing the kanji. So you can practice writing, reading, do kanji drills and take kanji tests based on your level. In the kakitori section, you get graded on how well you wrote the kanji if you score in the 90s you get a gold star. xD So yeah, I really love this game.

I also got some Mono Gachapin Mukku accessories. The green one is screen cleaner and the gray one is a game cartridge holder. But I can only fit two games in it. That's not so terrible though, since at the current moment, I've only got 3 games total. And I expect to get more games soon. haha

The bad news is that these games will keep me pretty busy. I could spend hours on them...when I should be studying or catching up on my shows or reading. >D

Tips on Catching a Guy from Zhi Shu //ANTM

2008-04-27T14:36:16Z

LOL.

Gotta love Zhi Shu telling his brother how Xiang Qin won him over. And how he ended up loving a girl who is his complete opposite. I mean him saying he can do 90% of things, but she can do 10% of the things he cannot do. Like she's the other half that makes him whole. Plus, he says all this with a smile on his face and so fondly. So sweet!

So, I learned in ep 17 how to capture the heart of the one you love. XD It's all really quite simple actually. Simply just tell the guy you love him everyday until it becomes customary and a natural thing for him to hear. It will be something he expects to hear from you. Then, one day out of the blue just say you don't like him.

He'll be shocked. Then, he'll realize he actually likes you and has grown eager to hear you confess your love for him everyday. haha

I actually think it's a great strategy.

Also, love the brotherly bond between Zhi Shu and Yu Shu that's been going on lately. I love seeing how much Zhi Shu has been seeing himself in his brother...even down to the type of girls they like. I love how Zhi Shu has even found it amusing. Xiang Qin had noticed it a long time ago but Zhi Shu is starting to see it more and more.

ANTM, Cycle 10
On another note, watched ANTM today. Lucky girls got to go to Rome! I wanna give that Cover Girl CM a try myself. The fact that they had to do it all in Italian made it even more fun! I so wanna try it!!! >D< There final takes were so hilarious, especially Dominique's. Although I have to get Dom some credit cause she at least tried. Lauren just gave up before it even began. I'm glad she went home. She had a lousy attitude and one of the worst runway walks I've ever seen in the history of ANTM.

I'm not really sure who I want to win. I think Anya's too dag on blonde. Her accent takes more than alot of getting used to and she can be a bit ditzy at times. But she was really nice to Fatima when she was sick. Must give her kudos for that.

Fatima has alot of potential. I mean she's hecka gorgeous but she still has a lot to go in terms of having that X-factor.

Whitney is pretty too, but she's really fake. Even if she doesn't realize it, she just comes off as too beauty queen but really unnatural. I do feel bad when the designers are like your body type is not what we're looking for in our shows. I mean Whitney's right about real women not being size 2s.

Katarzyna is pretty too. She's just been too under the radar the past few episodes. It's hard to remember what her personalities like.

I'm assuming Dom will be the next to go. She can be a little biatchy and alot of times she comes off as looking very manly/drag queen. Dom can be confident but sometimes she takes that confidence way too far and comes off as egotistical. But lately, she seems to soften her personality a bit and somewhat has been able to get along with the girls. I think one of the reasons she was ragging on Fatima for being sick was because she sees her as a threat. >~

Happy Earth Day!!

Happy Earth Day everyone!

Today was a really beautiful day here in Tokyo. Wish it would continue to be so the rest of the week. But saw that on Thursday the forecast is calling for some rain. But maybe it'll change between now and then.

I meant to go to bed about 47minutes ago but wanted to finish up the rest of episode 12 of ISWAK2: They Kiss Again before going to bed. Xiang Qin is so cute as a nurse. Seeing her go through her training and classes kind of makes me wanna become a nurse. haha XD

But yeah, I love the old lady she's taking care. So hilarious! Her first patient is bullying her like crazy. And best of all, the old woman is in love with Zhi Shu. Gotta love it! =D
I just wish granny would go easy on her more. I know she gets her fun and games out of bullying Xiang Qin but poor Xiang Qin works so hard to please her.

She could've at least given her one of the hundreds of pictures in her stash that she has of Zhi Shu. He's so hottt as a doctor!!

Jia yo Xiang Qin!! Jia yo!!

waaaiiiii >D< Joe and Ariel are so cute together!!! XD

Ever since Zhi Shu made up with Xiang Qin about being jealous of her and Qi Tai, Zhi Shu has been nothing but sweet to her. OMG!! Such a lucky girl!!
