The Wild Thornberrys

2011-04-16T22:09:00.000-05:00

Before you jump on your seat,

I want to explain myself.

In a sense, this is not an anime that

comes from Japan.

The word anime is short for

animation,

and this is an animation (from us).

I love this series, and hopefully

there will be many out there who

know or remember it.

So far I am watching the 1st

season on Netflix, but here are some

other places you can get some

episodes at.

もやしもん

2011-04-16T22:01:00.001-05:00

In a world where, a few can see microorganisms,

life is full of adventures.

Sawaki, a first year college student,

has entered at a agriculture uni.

where he takes part in a laboratory

with fellow classmates,

and 2 fellows who are always up to no good,

trying to make schemes in order to make money.

There are also other characters who are equally funny,

but I will leave their descriptions up to you.

So far, I have watched the drama first.

I have not seen the anime yet,

although i thought it a good idea to include the anime.

There is also a manga series,

but at least for this story I don't think I am a big enough fan

to also read the manga...

Mushi shi Anime

2011-04-16T21:53:00.000-05:00

In a world where there are mushi,

there are those who are born with the power to see them.

Mushi are creatures that are in their simplest life form,

as described in the first episode of this series.

And Ginko is its main character who is a mushi master.

Personally I am watching it from Netflix,

but I have some other sources where you can watch this.

It is extraordinary, and of course,

there is also a manga!

What I am watching now...I figured I would keep watching "Take Care Of the Young Lady" after this one since it felt a little weird to watch a guy in his mid/late 30's in a sort of 'relationship' with a girl that looks like she's only 20. In real life, she's about 25 or something, but still.....felt a little odd. So I'm watching this one for now, and heck, who doesn't like to see a pretty face from Super Junior?

Atleast, I think he's handsome...

After watching the Style, I started to like the story but the ending felt a bit rushed? or just not an actual ending that ensures that no other Style will be made. There is a posibillity for another one to be made, just like other dramas and movies as well. Now I move on to my next watch, Take Care of the Young Lady. I figured with Yoon Eun Hye casted as the main role, this drama can either be very good or extremely bad. But as I progressed through the story thus far, I can confidentally say that the producers were up to something. I will be happy to say that this is another drama where I will keep watch of the story to unfold. A clash between the rich and poor, many things can happen. ^^

Goong

2011-01-16T16:45:00.000-06:00

I have finished watching this drama,
only because I wanted to know the ending.
I didn't like it very much.....
and without my "I have to finish this" way of thinking,
I would have not even seen the 3rd episode.
Thought I figured I would put it, just to let you know it exists.

There is another drama called Goong S, but that one is entirely different from this one,
and I have not yet watched it.
I will put it into consideration.

Summary From Dramawiki:
Goong is a story about young love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. In the imaginary world, modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with the sudden death of the reigning the King. Faced with the decreasing popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the Crown Prince, Lee Shin, is decided to be the best publicity move to improve the image of the Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae Kyung that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae Kyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather.
After 14 years of living in England with his mom, Lee Yul appears all of a sudden. He is Shin's cousin as well as the former Crown Prince. Everything seemed to be going normally until Chae Kyung's optimistic spirit wins the heart of internally lonely, Yul. As the Crown Prince Shin and simple-minded Chae Kyung's relationship appear to developing deeper feelings, a series of scandals are exposed to the public right after the pair were officially announced married. Will love prevail all in a world of political pressures and martial hardships? Or will being in the spotlight of the public be too much for the young newlyweds to endure?

My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho

2010-11-10T11:24:00.000-06:00

For those of you who don't know what a Gumiho is, it's a nine tailed fox who supposedly eats peoples livers. There are many different versions for this story in Korean myths and legends, so if I happen to find any type of information, I will let you know. :)

SUMMARY:
Cha Dae Woong(Lee Seung Gi) is a cowardly and extremely immature man who accidentally set free a nine-tail fox (Shin Min Ah) who was imprisoned for 500 years. The fox began to take the form of a beautiful woman who follows the man who set her free around, causing misunderstandings that she is his girlfriend. Although the man enjoys the attention and envy that people around him is giving, he is also always in extreme fear that the Gumiho may want to feed on his liver to become human. But when both of them falls for each other as time goes by, the Gumiho’s enemies appears causing an unexpected twist in their lives.

Main Cast
Lee Seung Ki as Cha Dae Woong (also in Brilliant Legacy or Shinning Inheritance)Shin Min Ah as Gu Mi Ho
Sung Dong Il as Jung Doo Hong
Hyo Min as Jung Seon Nyun (T-ara member)

I greatly enjoy watching this drama, and I was even more excited to find out that an amazingly hot guy is in it. xD Plus a singer from the group T-ara is also part of the main cast, and not just a side character.

Another surprise that got to me was seeing familiar faces that I have seen in previous dramas. :) It's always nice to have that "OMG I KNOW THAT PERSON" thought. SInce I rarely get to see the celebrities over here, I go skippy-happy whenever I do see one. It's not a bad thing, I'm just excited. :P

SungKyunKwan Scandel

2010-11-10T11:00:00.001-06:00

Nation’s highest educational institute and the oldest university in East Asia that has distinguished history of 500 years; it is Sung-kyun-kwan University. But if you are thinking of Sungkyunkwan as a boring study place, you underestimated it. It is the place full of vitality, where youthfulness is flowering, and the school where you learn to be harmonized! And there is a young Confucian scholar Kim Yoon-hui, who gets into this forbidden place for women, hiding her gender. Yoon-hui’s father, Kim Seung-hyun was a scholar at Sungkyunkwan and also a good friend of the Crown prince. King Yeongjo calls him before the day of his death and asks him to hand down his secret book Kum-deung-ji-sa across the generations. However, Kim Seung-hyun gets killed by the opposing faction and the book has disappeared. Yoon-hui was only 7-year-old when her father got murdered. Yoon-hui has a talent for writing, which had inherited from her father. She starts to stay at Sungkyunkwan and meets three good friends: Seon-joon, Jae-shin, Yong-ha. And Yoon-hui slowly gets fascinated by King Jeongjo’s vision and becomes to understand what her father truly dreamt of.

Can you guess my first reason for watching this? ---> Micky is in it. xD Hey, I'm just a fan supporting my fellow devotee.
And for a drama that takes place not in the 21st century, it is actually very entertaining. There are only 20 episodes total, and it has its comedic moments too.
I guess the only thing that frustrated me was the main girls character. Because I thought she was suppose to be seen as someone who cares for getting an education when in reality she is the type of person who wants to get things done and pass by things without catching any attention. Therefore leading to her not realizing the potential that she is not taking.
And it especially irritated me how Micky's character towards the end was being kind of a jerk. Why do Kdramas insist on the girl falling for the jerk? And the good guy always looses the girl.

This is something I have learned from watching many Korean dramas:

1. If there is someone who is going to die or has already died, the reason for death is always cancer or some illness that has no treatment.

2. The main girl always falls for the main jerk, and the main good guy is always left behind.

3. At a restaurant, most of the time they are eating meat.

4. If they're not drinking at a bar, they are most likely at a coffee shop drinking coffee.

5. The character in agony goes to a alcohol bar (or any type of place that sells alcoholic drinks) by him or herself to 'ponder' about what just happened.

6. When people get drunk, they almost always pour out their emotions to whoever is near, hick-up uncontrollably, and saved by the person they are attached to.

7. When you are drunk, you are allowed to receive a piggyback ride from the person that cares about you.

8. In frustration, a character will almost always end their sentences with something that roughly sounds like "aisssh".

9. If a character misunderstands something, they will never be told until the very end. And then they will feel guilty for not knowing.

The list can go on, but this is all I have for now. :) Meanwhile, enjoy these lovely pictures from the drama.

Although I am still not done watching it right now (as of 10 November 2010), I have to say that it is entertaining to watch. And mostly because I am not the type to be interested in these type of things, it is interesting to see how the drama builds up between these characters. :)

There are some actual members of the group who aren't in this variety show, but they done't seem very important to begin with..

The Birth Of The Rich

2010-10-13T23:35:00.000-05:00

A lovely story of the higher class and those below them. Within the circle of a spoiled brat who only cares about having everything fabulous including, a man who's main ambition is to increase his company's wealth even if it means blackmailing and stabbing, a daughter of one of the richest card company who is so cheap with money, and a man (Seok Bong) who believes he is the son of a chaebol (chaebol= meaning someone of great wealth and social status) but finds out he has a life threatening disease but does not have the means to pay for treatment, a lot of things can happen. :)

I really liked this drama, and it kind of revolves more around the small percentage of the high class in South Korea.

Plus, it's pretty hilarious too. I learned a few phrases from this drama.

Genre: Drama, Romance, Comedy

To try to make Choi Han Kyul settle down, she makes him go on several blind dates, when he bumps into Go Eun Chan. After Choi confuses Go Eun Chan as being a girl, and needing money desperately, Go Eun Chan accepts Choi's offer as acting as his girlfriend. Both of them then start working at a Coffee Shop where Choi Han Kyul's grandmother put him in charge of. As time passes, the two create a bond that can't be broken.

I really liked this drama, although it didn't catch my attetion at the first episode since I was watching another drama which I will mention later ^^, but it's very sweet and funny. And if you find watching a townboy girl trying to mask herself as a guy interesting, then what is better to watch than Coffee Prince? :D

Beginnings Of Summer

2010-04-20T15:21:00.002-05:00

Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while. School gets in the way....especially when you add homework due in every class + procrastination = one hell of a mess. xD I brought it up on myself anyways so I'm just dealing with it. I have no complaints. Well maybe if I actually did my homework on-time....that would make things work out better. Anyways, yes I do have some free time even through all this chaos. Actually, one of my close friends told me there's a drama for one of my fave mangas (that just happens to be one of his favorites too), so I'm watching that now. Marmalade Boy? Heard of it? ( aka 橘子醬男孩 / Ju Zi Jiang Nan Hai )
Released in 2002 with a taiwanese cast and a total of 30 episodes (i know! wow!!), it's mostly about family issues and how it brings these two together. ^^ I don't know if I'm actually enjoying the drama because I've already read the manga like 4 times already. I guess it's just fun to watch and see how the producers put the story together compared to the book. And you know, their names are translated so that's a little twist right there. A lame one but a twist nonetheless.
To watch Marmalade Boy click here .

   Besides watching Marmalade Boy, I've started watching this new drama called Personal Taste. Other websites have it under 'Personal Preference', but it's the same thing anyway. I've tried to get my friend to watch it, but I guess he just doesn't like pretty boys in general.... T.T The drama is really good too! TT_TT It even has the main actor from another kdrama called Boys Before Flowers.
   Personally I prefer the japanese drama, simply because it's a lot closer to the story from the manga and I don't like how the korean version because makes it seem like these jerks that run the school really are cruel with nothing else to do except bully people. I don't know, to me they just make the situation a little bit too extreme for me.
  [ For Hana Yori Dango watch here: 1st Season, 2nd Season, Final Movie. For korean version 'Boys Over Flowers' watch here. ]
   But back to what I was originally talking about!!!! Personal Taste released in 2010; broadcasted on MBC as we SPEAK, it's about a guy, Jeon Ji Hon, who pretends to be gay in order to stay at the SangGaelJae. Meanwhile, the owner has a habbit for sloppiness, and not being the most flashy girl.
   I guess you just have to see the drama to know the other details of the story. Basically the first episode starts out like this= girl has a girl roommate. girl finds out her roommate is about to marry her boyfriend who's also ends up breaking up with her. girl finds out her best friend took a BUNCH of money from her to invest in what he thought was a good deal, but ends up being swindled by gangsters, and runs away. What is this girl to do with a broken heart and an empty bank account? To watch Personal Taste, click here.

In The Process of Making My Decision A Fact!

2010-03-09T16:47:00.001-06:00

As of now, I'm not sure what I'm going to watch next
since the time before spring break [in college] tends to
be very busy, and I really need to get my math grade up.
Otherwise, I'll be forced to leave the class....not good!
And, from this thursday [mokuyoubi] I will start taking
Japanese classes in Chicago city. So much for that extra time. :P
But oh well, it's worth it.

I was thinking about watching something like:

Kami no Shizuku with one of my so-so favorite actors,

but I'm still not sure. I'm on the last episode of Pasta so

I don't know if i want to watch another one about food.

But who knows right? Oh, and btw. For all the girls out

there who like Pasta, you'll definitely like episode 13. :P

The guys take their shirts off!

In other news, I had watched Nobuta wo Produce.

It's actually really exciting,

since I found myself in a similar position. [Just found out

that one of my friends likes me.]

It's such a sweet

story, and I fell into a crush with one of the actors again. ;)

My story? Right now I'm going out with someone, but

recently got really pissed and many things that he did. I told

him about it too, but he doesn't seem to understand my

viewpoint of it. But let me take you waaayyyy back!

Before I even asked him out the first time, I was hesitant

about it because I was kinda crushing on someone else at

the same time [though I got the vibe that this person just

wanted me as a friend], so that's how I made my decision

to go out with the one I am currently with. But now, that

situation has changed. This is the second time that I am going

out with this person. I don't know why I asked him out again,

because since the beginning I just wanted to be friends.

But anyways, so the person I had mentioned earlier just

happens to be my friend now who I just found out likes me?

Maybe I heard wrong....but it would have been nice if he

told me that LONG before all this crap happened.

But don't get me wrong. :P

He asked me if he was just a nice guy like in the video,

and I told him that there is potential for him to jump to

the other latter.

Want to know what video he was talking about?

Here it is! Blam! [lol, i know. I'm a nerd]

Great Concert

2010-02-04T13:02:00.000-06:00

An update on my life:

went to Utada Hikaru concert and,
IT WAS GREAT!
it was at The House of Blues in Chicago City.
the room was a bit small too, but it was sold out!
it was all standing,
so now i deal with back pain. ><

nonetheless, it was great and she sounds great
live.

now, with first 2 weeks of 2nd semester,
I have 2 tests coming up, so I really have to study. ><
I hope I don't fail math class.

You're Beautiful

2010-02-01T22:11:00.002-06:00

Now that college is keeping me busy (here and there) with homework, I've found awesome ways to avoid it. xD Gosh, I'm so lazy....and a procrastinator. >< But, who cares? As long as the work is done, and turned in, and I get A or B....I'm good. So besides reading Hot Gimmick, and finally finishing up with the drama Kiina, I decided to watch You're Beautiful. The guys seemed hot....and I saw many people liking it, so why not?

Also known as: 미남이시네요/You’re Handsome, A.N.JELL
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Family
Release: 7 October 2009
Episodes: 16
Cast of A.N.JELL:
Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung
Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam / Go Mi Nyu
Lee Hong Ki as Kang On Yu / Jeremy
Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo (my fave ^^)
Summary: Go Mi Nyu is a sweet nun-to-be and dreams of nothing other than to be a full-fledged nun. But when Ma Hoon Yi pops up in her life, everything changes (ironic right?). He tells her there is bad news with her twin brother Go Mi Nam and he needs her help until his problem is fixed. How can she help? Join a famous music group and pretend to be her brother until he gets back. The problem? This is a boys' group. How can she keep her secret to the rest of the band members, and will she be able to fulfill her brothers' dreams?

At first, I didn't want to see this drama because I figured: korean drama = someone getting cancer or girl liking the jerk guy leaving the nicer guy to the curb. Ok, so it is pretty much predictable after episode....7?, but it's interesting to watch. It's entertaining! I love kpop, so watching a drama about a 'kpop' group with a gender-mix is a dream come true. Although there are things that I don't agree with, but nonetheless I still watched it. What the heck? I wanted to know the ending. I mean, it would suck to watch 10 episodes and all of a sudden quit watching it!
Oh yea! The main girl in the drama...a lot of times she can be very innocent which makes me go "CMON! CAN'T YOU SEE HE LIKES YOU!?!?!?!?!?!", .... but that's part of the fun of watching a drama, right? xD

2010-01-21T16:53:00.002-06:00

I wonder if they will make a second series...

I just watched this movie yesterday, and I was entertained the whole time. It's a LOT different from the typical stories of the girl having cancer or something untreatable. I laughed and smiled as I watched this story unfold before me. I hope you like it too.

Thoughts of the New Year

2010-01-08T21:18:00.000-06:00

For a while now,
I was thinking of writing another blog
that is a bit different from this one.
But I didn't know what to write about...

One night after my mom and me went
home from shopping, I was rambling how
parents in America piss me off.

And it hit me!
I should write about the things that piss
me off, or at least things that irritate me.
What do you think?

I thought,
it may be too opinionated and people
may not like it, or the opposite.
I'm still waiting to hear what others say
about this.

Instead of rambling about things many
times, I could write about it!
Who knows? Maybe it can turn into a
book (hon).

Happy New Years 2010!!!

2010-01-01T01:10:00.009-06:00

Starting the new year a new way!

So I did learn that ---'s brother doesn't really like me...

but who cares right?

Anyways,

I never did practice japanese during the break,

with all the work i put into the presents?

there was no time left! T_T

Though,

as I write in the new MacBook Pro Laptop that

we purchased with the money we got from the car

crash,

I am happy to say that this year will end in a good

way.

My hair is black, --- is back, everyone is healthy,

and it looks like I have a huge book list waiting for me

to read! How fun! (really it is)

The only thing I need to fix is the Ipod and Itunes,

but I don't really feel like doing that right now.

Let's start the new year with a new favorite song no?!

Normal Day

2009-12-23T21:07:00.001-06:00

For some weird reason,
I don't feel very happy after --- came over.
First because he was about 2 hours late
(not really his fault).
Second, my mom was in the same room so
not much privacy for talking.
Third, he was picked up earlier than I
expected. Which means,
I had no time to give him the part of the
present that I had finished for him.
Overall, I received something I didn't
want (not literally).

I'm a little confused and not sure what
to do or what to think of today.

What I ate today?
edamame and tiramisu cheesecake

2 days before x-mas.
Hopefully my spirit will come back. >_>

---, missing you.

Happy Birthday

2009-12-20T22:38:00.000-06:00

Yesterday (19 December)
was my birthday. It was ironic since I turned
19 years old on the 19th day.
It's been snowing outside for a while, and it won't
stop.
In other news,
the day before Ted and me got to see each
other. He wants to hang out again, but he makes
it impossible for me to make his present in time. xD
It's going to be something small for this year,
but in the end I hope he likes it.

And about the car accident,
the car ended up being totalled. Meaning they
cannot fix it since the cost of fixing it is more that
how much the car is worth. It is ok though.
We managed to use only 1 car for the last week
of school.
Next semester, school for me will end a bit
later so I will not have to wait that long for
my mom to pick me up.

Mini Ninjas:
An awesome Wii game that I am totally addicted
to right now! It is taking me a while since I need
time to make the presents for both ted and my
mom. But I somehow still find time to play it.
And now that I don't have homework to worry
about, I can call him just to talk and not worry
about staying up to late talking.

Although,
last time it did worry me. I heard him and his mom
arguing about something.....and it was a pretty
long arguement. He told me he was mad, but
i hope he's ok.

Happy Holidays to everyone out there!

Christmas Season

2009-12-12T20:25:00.000-06:00

So here is the book that I am reading right now.
It's called Witches' Forest by: Mishio Fukazawa.

It's sooooo
addicting!!
I'm still not
done with it,
but now that
I know there
is 3 more books,
I can't wait to
read the other
ones. Now,
I just have to
ask my toshokan
to get the other
ones, that way, I can check them out and read them.
Woho! It's so hard to find books from Tokyopop
PopFiction for some reason....I don't know why.
Either way,
I have other books on my desk, in my room, that are
also fition from tokyopop. And, now that the 1st
semester of college is ending this coming week,
I have more time to read these. ^w^
Maybe ... just maybe there will be some time to see Ted.

New Book I Bought

2009-12-12T20:01:00.001-06:00

Brave Story
by: Miyuki Miyabe
Release: 2008

This friday,
I went to [Barns
& Nobles].
Their manga
section,
is not that great...
And most of the
time,
there's a lot of
really annoying
people there.
Which by the way,
I couldn't avoid. >_> First there was a group of girls,
that would not stop screaming and running around.
Then there was a group of high schoolers that kept
swearing after every 3 words...and talking REALLY
loud. Ugh! Why do people go to a bookstore if they
do nothing with books, just talk and annoy everyone
else?
Anyways,
with all the noise i was able to find this book. And
another one, but I did not bring that much money
with me...
Here is the summary for the first book:
"Alone after his father his hospitalized and his
mother attempts suicide, Wataru Mitani ventures
from the real world to the land of Vision, where he
seeks five magical gemstones representing the qualities
of charity, bravery, faith, grace, and the power of light
and darkness. With these, perhaps Watari can change
his fate and bring his family together again."

And I just found out that the same author is coming
out with another book on 19 January 2010.!.!.
It's called The Book Of Heroes. Sounds really
interesting too!

Summary:
" When her brother
Hiroki disappears after
a violent altercation
with school bullies,
Yuriko finds a magical
book in his room. The
book leads her to another
world where she learns
that Hiroki has been
possessed by a spirit
from The Book of Heroes,
and that every story
ever told has some truth
to it and some horrible lie.
With the help of the monk
Sky, the dictionary-turned-mouse Aju, and the mysterious
Man of Ash, Yuriko has to piece together the mystery of her
vanished brother and save the world from the evil King in
Yellow. "
I'm really looking forward to seeing this book.

On the other side,
this is the book I did not have enough money to buy.
TT_TT

Battle Royale
by: Koushun
Takami

This one really
interested me
because it
seemed like one
of those survivor
stories that has
some
psychological
stuff to it too.
Plus, now that
I'm reading
[Witches'
Forest by:
Mishio Fukazawa] adventure type things sound
kinda cool. For a long time, I really didn't like reading
those fantasy/adventure books. Mainly because
the movies are so much better, and the books
are WAY to long and describe too many details
that don't have much to do with the story.
Like that Scorpion King book, its really interesting,
but after a point i just felt like ''when is something
going to happen.
So next time I have money, then I'll go buy this book!

If you want to see more details, and maybe
other books that have more or less the same theme
as these, go here.

CRASH:
So.....I got into a car accident. ><
Both air bags came out, and smoke
was coming out too.
It was scary....
It was the first accident I have as the
driver, and it was snowing and cold....

I hope they won't total the car. ><
That would mean buying another car.

JAPAN PROGRAM 2010:
In my teacher's blog, he mentioned
'' there are many enthusiastic for ---
this year", so,
I am hoping that 'these' people are
not otakus and actually have a 'normal
gene' in them. Other than that,
I also wonder if I have to stay with
a host family with another student too.

FINALS:
The tests no one likes, and the week
that we most fear.
And it's here! ADM!
What is cool about college? Not every
class makes a final. O.O!!!
This semester, I have finals for
Sociology class and Philosophy class.
I am a little worried about Sociology
because it's hard for me to remember
hard words. xD
But we (where i go to college), will
have a break after it. So, it will give
time to rest and enjoy x-mas.
After that, a new semester starts.
Woot woot!
On this note,
this will keep me a little busy since
I need to study.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE:
OMG!
They are featuring Wondergirls.
So ExCiTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honey and Clover

2009-12-09T18:46:00.000-06:00

Although I had a poster of the manga version on my bedroom door,
I never bothered to watch it, or even read it.....even though they had it
on ShojoBeat Magazine. I guess I am a bit prejudice about manga that
doesn't look good. If the drawings look really bad (in my eyes), I tend
not to read it. Most of the time, atleast...
But this time, I changed! (=^=)O
Since I do not have much time for reading for fun, I decided to start watching
the drama of Honey and Clover. --> ハチミツとクローバー Hachimitsu to Kurōbā [Release: 8.1.2008 Theme Song: Canvas by Hirai Ken
It's actually very entertaining, and I couldn't help but notice one of the actors from Hana Kimi, another from Atashinchi no Danshi, and the young actress that played in the movie Gigolo Wanabe. It's so awesome to point these things out now!! I'm so excited about it.!.

When I went to Mitsuwa Marketplace,
I felt so proud of myself because I recognized a lot of the actors on the magazines. Even my boyfriend is a bit surprised from all that I know now. Last week, he asked ''how the hell do you know these things?''. Yeah, it sounds a bit prejudice, but he wasn't completely serious when he asked.
Anyways, the story takes place with 5 young adults in college, and the things they go through. The story is mostly seen through the perspective of Takemoto Yuta [played by Ikuta Toma<--- so hot!!!], and how it takes him a bit to confess his feelings...if he ever does.
I am still watching it, since I have this HUGE freedom paper I am working on for English class. So, I do not have as much free time to tell you more details about it. Nonetheless, it's really good (from what I am seeing right now), and I'm sure any girl would like it. It's mostly geared to girls/ teenagers and maybe those in college. Unless some guy out there likes to see these type of things, then go for it! Maybe I'll motivate my mom to watch some of these. xD or start a drama club at school. yea....right.

Angel's Tale by: HYDE ~English Version~

~ Japanese Version~

For some time, I had the album Roentgen in my Ipod, but I didn't bother to

listen to it for some time. Especially because I was hocked on phoenix. Haha

no not really. But seriously, I was listening to Salyu and Utada like no other.

But once I started listening to it, I fell in love. The music is so soothing, that I

had a hard time driving to school and not fall asleep while driving.

So I warn you now,

if you don't want to fall asleep, don't listen to it! Otherwise, it's a really cool

song and a really cool Album.

This singer is also featured in the movie Moon Child, although the movie

isn't the greatest. I've seen better vampire movies than that. And the biggest

plot of the story is different ethnicity s living in the same area. That idea

really isn't new. Just look at US> and the question is answered.

Anyways, here is the track list, and if you want to listen to it, the link is

available.

2) White Song

5) A Drop of Color

Ninja's Assasin

2009-12-09T18:40:00.004-06:00

Ninja's Assasin

I LOVED! this movie!!!! Not just the fact that Bi was the main role, but all the action

and the blood was cool! The director really did a good job on making it look realistic,

and not to fantasy like. At one point, I felt like i was on my toes hoping for the good guy to win (that's Bi).

Also, it's a bit ironic how it's a 'japanese theme' movie,

yet there are no japanese people in it, and the lead role is korean....?! How does that work? But it's not the first time that it has happened. Remember the Memoirs of A Geisha movie? Yea, the lead role was chinese in a japanese movie. wtf? Just like how they chose Jennifer Lopez for the Selena movie, yet she is an american/puertorican playing the lead role of a mexican woman (which btw, i love Selena's music). The reason why I don't call her Puerto rican (100%) is because she was born and lived all of her life in New York. Even I know more than her. The point is --> movie producers/directors should get a more accurate person for a role.

Although I don't object of having Bi as main role since he's hot. xD Maybe if they found some japanese guy that build up his muscles like that, it would have been even more awesome! Overall, it was an awesome movie, lost of anticipation, action, etc...

Hopefully, I will be able to see it a second time with my boyfriend. The first time, he was not able to go because he had family issues and couldn't get away from the house (long story). I am hoping for a next time.

Hataraki Man

2009-12-09T18:40:00.003-06:00

Hiroko Matsukata is a busy woman in the magazine business, with no time for romance. Therefore, she is known as 'Hataraki Man' (a.k.a working man).

She is at the right age to get married and finally settle down. But will her relationship with Shinji be enough for this hataraki man?

Title: 働きマン/ Hataraki Man

Genre: Work, Romance, Comedy

Theme Song: Ukiyo CROSSING by UVERworld

Ending Song: Hataraki Man Ondo by Hataraki Mitsuru

I really enjoyed this drama. Also because it has the actor from Absolute boyfriend! OMG! xD Anyways, it may sound boring because of the 'work' part, but you don't need to know much. It's not like one of those dramas that only centers on work, and half the time you don't know what the heck they're talking about. In this one, you also see Matsukata as a human being that doesn't know whether to choose work, or a life with Shinji.

And, I just HAD! to tell you the songs for this drama! As soon as I find them, I am definitely adding it to my Ipod. Plus, the ending song is so hilarious! There is a group of guys that do the same dance after every episode, in working suits. And to make it more funny, the main dancer in the front, has an afro going on. That's different for a japanese guy right? xD And is it just me or is Matsukata's best friend not just japanese? To me, she looks like a mix between something.... like half japanese half caucasian. Or I could be imagining things... > .>

Either way, the drama is really funny and I'm sure anyone would like it for its comedy (or something else).

Spice and Wolf Vol.1

2009-12-09T18:40:00.002-06:00

By: Isuna Hasekura

"The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which Kraft Lawrence is well acquainted. Wandering from town to town with just his horse, cart, and whatever wares have come his way, the peddler has pretty well settled into his routine—that is, until the night Lawrence finds a wolf goddess asleep in his cart. Taking the form of a fetching girl with wolf ears and a tail, Holo has wearied of tending to harvests in the countryside and strikes up a bargain with the merchant to lend him the cunning of “Holo the Wisewolf” to increase his profits in exchange for taking her along on his travels. What kind of businessman could turn down such an offer? Lawrence soon learns, though, that having an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be a bit of a mixed blessing. Will this wolf girl turn out to be too wild to tame?"

I'm actually very excited for when this novel comes out! I already read the 1st chapter that was featured in the YenPluss Magazine.

It will be available around December 2009. (for the novel. the manga will be out April 2010.)

Although,

it's a bit odd how they have a 'normal' cover for it.

The reason, because they are trying to attract more

readers; mainly those who don't really read light novels because they have anime on the cover.

I guess it's a good strategy, but I still like the original version of the covers.

I always get so excited when the novels come out. For example, when Shojo Beat magazine had advertised some books, I immediately went to Borders Bookstore to get them. I also subscribe to the OtakuUSA magazine, and they had featured a 2 page spread of the book. It was kind of cool, although OtakuUSA tends to be opionated, and spend more time on the anime pictures and graphics than accurately giving a summary on things or saying when these things will be available.

Which one do you like? Do you think it's a good idea to change the covers in order to attract more readers and make more sales?

In continuation of this post, I was thinking of posting about other books that I think are interesting. Does this sound like a good idea?

Updates On My Life

Meeting GTS
It was really interesting...
I think it was the first time I ever saw a teacher
wearing an abercrombie-looking-red sweater,
with jeans and slim gym shoes.
All of this while teaching in the morning,
and doing my interview.
Nonetheless,
he gave me the packet at the end of interview.
This is the part where I fill out MORE papers for
Japan trip (including physical to check if I am
healthy, social security, とかとか。。。).
He asked somewhat-personal questions too, like:
~have you ever traveled outside the country?
which i said: well, it would be imposible if i did not,
because i was not born here...
~do you speak other languages? do you speak them
at home?
i said: yes -->spanish. mostly at home 99%, and when
family visits. then i explained how my おばあさん ,
(私のおばあさん) does not know a lot of english, so
i have to translate everything for her.
Overall, I was happy. Still am.
Hopefully, I can finally finish those papers before my
birthday and xmas.

7 - 9:30 pm: Japanese 1101                     no classes

I looked at the schedule, figures...there is no
Japanese 1101 during morning (for credits). TT_TT
This semester I end MONDAY, WEDNESDAY,FRIDAY at
1 pm, and 12 afternoon on TUESDAY, and THURSDAY.
So next, I will leave later, but i will have no classes on
thursday, and tuesday i only have the japanese class at
night time.
So i guess is ok. ^^
As long as I take the japanese class, I am satisfied.

Thanksgiving.
This week many people I know are talking about it.
Personally,
I have never celebrated it. In puerto rico, this is not
a holiday, so there is no reason for me to start anyway.
Although, I enjoy the time off from school.
That means---> *drum roll* ----> more sleep time!!!!!!

Japanese
I finally finished human japanese(trial).
It really wasn't that hard.....it just took me time to
memorize vocabulary to use around the house.
To help me, I wrote the word in kana, color with
highlighter, and put them around the house. I used
romaji (under the kana) because my mother was
interested too, and she doesn't know how to read kana.

And from the book that I learn from, I finally finish
memorizing family / かぞく, and major family members.
The patern is really easy too. Now i just want to learn the
word for cousin; just for fun, and because I like to study.
I feel very proud of myself that I have taught myself
this, with no help from teacher. ^^
Maybe I will take more time to study during Thanksgiving.

Huge Paper On Freedom.
After my english teacher said "she doesn't like to give
work during break, because the whole point of a break
is to have a ..break." Well well well, now I have to
work on a huge paper about freedom, and how
freedom is a great thing with the proper usage of power.
I will focus more on international issues, since only US
freedom is kind of boring...for me at least.

Don't Ask Me
Some people I know, recently, have asked me: which one is
better, Japan or USA?
Please, I hate answering these kinds of things,
because then I have to explain there is no right or wrong.
This type of question is only based on opinion.
And what makes a person think they are right?
This is like asking me: which one is right and which
one is wrong.
There is many aspects of both countries that are good,
and there are bad ones too. But I do not believe US is
better, or Japan is better.
Example: I don't agree with the fact that Japan has a
constitution, though it is more like "guidelines" than law.
And US still does not have equal pay between women
and men. It's proven that for every dollar (1.00) a man earns,
a woman earns 3/4 of it (.75 cents).

I comes down to the question of: where would you
rather live, Japan or USA?
This I can actually answer --> USA, but I would travel to
Japan often. Everyone has their own things they like,
and dislike. Not everyone is the same, so this answer
does not need much explaining.

Ending On A Good Note
In maybe,.....3-4 days, we will receive the Training
Pacekt for Wii. This will be fun. muahahahahaha.

A person told me about this site.
And, actually, i saw it as an add too.

After looking around, it seems interesting
and reliable,
although I will probably be spending time
with the money exchange rates.
I found the page with the cute characters,
which is really not that hard...
But anyways,
I figured it was a good site and thought
maybe 'you' would like it.

I'll Give It My All....Tomorrow
By: Shunju Aono
Release: 7.23.2009

The website does a WAY better job
at describing it, so here goes:

"This is the story of a forty–year–old salary man who quits his job to pursue his dream of
becoming a manga artist—and the family that has to put up with him. While not terribly
unhappy, Shizuo Oguro can't fight the feeling that something in his life just isn't right, so
he walks away from his stable (yet boring) day job to embark on a journey of self–discovery. Unfortunately for his family, this journey also involves playing video games all day while
his teenage daughter and elderly father support him. Will Shizuo succeed in creating a true
manga masterpiece or will he be just another drop–out living a life of slack?"

The artwork is not GREAT, but it doesn't totally suck. Personally,
I barely read manga that doesn't
have good art, because it distracts me from the story.
Instead of thinking "man, this artwork really sucks", I want to think
"wow. he's a total *****".
It's a manga online, and it loads pretty fast.
The story is not slow-pace.
But, I think it is more for older teens....Basically, a 13 year old may
find this boring.

This is new, so the story isn't over, yet.
Please bare with this. ^^''o

Walking Your Way To A Better Life by: Kimiko

2009-12-09T18:37:00.000-06:00

The cover looks good right? That's what I thought!
After reading the article from Otaku USA Magazine,
it really sounded interesting.
Although, it really doesn't make any sense why they
wouldn't print this on their magazine?!?! Yen Press
promotes books! Why not this one?
But anyways,
the book sounds really interesting. It's about 'literaly'
walking with better posture. It's not for speed walking,
or when you walk in the mall. This is just for doing
little things in your life that add up in the end. And how
to have a better attitude about yourself.
It has simplicity,
and I'm definitely going to run to Border's Store to see
it!
Gyaaaaa!

I cannot say how happy I am right now!
YYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I am going to see GTS next week, monday.
I think this is the meeting/interview part.

I was so excited!!!!!!! And still am. ^^
Un otro paso para 2010 Japón.

Otras noticias:
now that my mom drives the new Hyundai car,
I am not stressed about thinking about the train,

Yesterday, I even stopped at [Noodles & Company] <--a restaurant,

[Orange/Mango Juice].
Another huge step for JESSY! Un otro paso jigante para JESSY!

Still learning katakana. > .> there is alot of
homework these days, i barely have time to
study during free time. TT_TT

Just received my passport picture.....
it looks ok. I had to get in person, because there is a law
that if you get a passport under 16 years of age,
when renew-ing it, you have to come in person.
My first passport, i got it when i was 12 and in spanish.
In my older
picture, I look younger, but still the same. xD
Now, just have to send it to office and they are suppose
to make a new passport and mail it to our home.

for laughing, because it was really quiet.

I hope you like it as much as I did.

Consumer Economics

2009-11-04T14:41:00.001-06:00

Here is the new Ne-yo music video [Never Knew I Needed],
featuring in the new Disney movie [The Princess and The Frog].
WOW! They finally have a princess that's black, and not white with
blonde and blue eyes. xD
Personally, I have met ne-yo in person (parent works at mcdonalds
corporation so you get to meet people. kinda cool), and he's kinda boring.
But this is only my opinion.

But, back to the point of this post.
When i took the Consumer Economics class, I was bored a lot. xD It was
easy<-----that was the problem. So now that I look at my notes, there is
something I wrote. It's really funny too. xD xD
Here goes:::

To my dearest Sugarplums,

The 1st time i met you, i fell in love. It was love at first sight.

Everytime you were not around me, there was an empty

feeling inside me, yearning for you. When I do see you,

I don't know what to say.

My heart starts beating for the 1st time.

Your eyes are like the meatballs in my spaghetti, your hair is

like the noodles in my ramen soup; curly and hard like stone,

then smooth and silky.

Your face is like the picasso painting in my memory (which is

extremely fuzzy right now. In fact, I don't think i like picasso

that much anyway, to tell you the truth. I mean, come on!

Was the guy on drugs or something? Even a grade school

student can draw better than him!) Your body is like the pen

I am using to write this; flat, gray, and no curves at all.

Your smile is like that half watermelon I bought last weekend,

but went rooten because I forgot to eat it. Your feet

are like the steamed potatoes I ate yesterday, which were

actually not that great, but if you let the taste

linger a little bit, it actually tastes ok.

Your fingernails are like the Sun-Day chips, waiting

to get some sun (or finally have the cheese underneath

eaten). Your belly is like the ice-cream cake I saw in

a bakery last night, that when you look really

close, it actually has holes in it filled with I don't know what.

Your legs are like the kimchi my friend forced me to eat;

not much eaten but never forgotten for its weird look.

You have always been on my mind, even when I hired

someone (who's name shall not be revealed) to take

pictures of you and how i secretly wrote your name

all over my notebook,

hoping that you would not notice, but kinda notice.

My heart yearns for your lovely alfredo sauce touch

of your skin.

Please write me back when you read this. You can

write me at: desperatelover@yahoo.com!

Yours Forever (until the ketchup bottle runs out),

Señor Kole Esterol. <3

By the way,

the email i used in this letter is not real!

None of this is real!

Obviously, i was bored and had nothing to do.xD

what do you think? is it funny?

Hyundai Elantra 2010

2009-11-01T11:06:00.003-06:00

This week (on Friday),
we got the 2nd car.
It's a Hyundai Elantra 2010. ^^v
I am very excited, because
now I don't have to run to the
train, or wait for the bus.
My schedule is more flexible now
too. So instead of waiting 3 hours
at school for ISO club to start,
I can go home, have ramen, sleep,
then come back.
And, now that it is raining more
and the weather is colder, I can
just drive home. ^^v

This is a similar model, how it
looks in the inside.

Although,
this is the car my mom will drive.
I am driving the older one. Because
if I was primary driver of the new
car, the insurance will be A LOT
more. x_x

Other news:
Yesterday (Saturday), I went to see
[Astro Boy] and [Good Hair]. Astro
Boy was pretty good, but i thought
the cherry blossom tree in the end
was too much. Too dramatic for a kid
movie. But it did look pretty. ^^

Daylight Savings Time now changed.
Which means, more time for sleep.
Woot woot . o^^o

On Wednesday, it was raining, and I
had my hair straight. So, after a
while, my friend says, "Woah. How
did you put your hair curly? I just
say you 30 minutes ago...".
How can I explain this? >_>

Absolute Boyfriend (Zettai Kareshi)

2009-10-27T17:35:00.006-05:00

OMG!!!! I can't believe I have not
written about this before! TT_TT
It is one of my all-time favorite mangas,
and it was the first Japanese drama
that i ever saw (during junior year of
high school. grade 11)!

Release: 15 April 2008
Alternative Title: 絶対彼氏
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Japan Casts:Aibu Saki, Hayami Mokomichi,
Irie Jingi, Maya Miki, Mizushima Hiro <3,
Nakamura Shunsuke, Sasaki Kuranosuke
Summary:
Izawa Riko is a temp worker in search of
a boyfriend, and she ends up in possession
of a "robot" known as Night Tenjo, who is
programmed to be the perfect boyfriend.
However, this creates a love triangle with
a distinguished young man at her company who
has feelings for her. Oh no.

As you will see here,
you can also notice some of the same actors/
actresses from other dramas/movies I have
talked about in this blog. ^.<
Now, that I am watching more dramas, it seems
like Hiro's face just pops up everywhere! wtf?
I mean, is he that good actor that he has to
have a role in almost everything i see???? Just
asking...>_>. He's hot anyways, so I am not
complaining.

Antique Bakery Live Action Movie

2009-10-27T16:49:00.007-05:00

Alternative Title: 西洋骨董洋菓子店, Seiyō Kottō Yōgashiten?,

Korean Cast: Joo Ji Hoon as Kim Jin Hyeok (Tachibana),
Kim Jae Wook as Min Seon Woo (Ono),
Yoo Ah In as Yang Ki Beom (Eiji),
Choi Ji Ho as Nam Soo Yeong (Chikage),
Andy Gillet as Jean-Baptise Evan
Genre: Drama, Comedy

I never thought i'd have to say this,
but the movie is actually
better than the manga. xD
Well, considering
I am not really into yaoi manga, because
they make the characters so "feminine",
that they seem like lust-seeking,wimpy women.
But, that is not the point! xD
The movie is the same: 4 guys who are working
in a small bakory shop. The owner has a
childhood past that he cannot get over,
the chef and the owner used to go to
high school together and the chef 'used' to
have a crush on him. The young helper in
the kitchen used to be a boxer, and the quiet
but mysterious servant (who worked for the
owners family) had suddenly arrived to the
picture. What quirky thing comes next?
And.....they're really hot. xD

I guess if you like comedies about gay men,
and love pastries (yumm), this is the
movie for you. ^^b

For more info: http://www.antique2008.co.kr/

Antique Bakery by:Fumi Yoshinaga.

100 Days With Mr.Arrogant

2009-10-25T15:06:00.004-05:00

Alternative Title: My Love Sagaji / slave love
/ 내 사랑 싸가지
Release: 16 January 2004
Time: 95 minutes
Korean Cast: Kim Jaewon ... Ahn Hyung-jun,
Ha Ji-won ... Kang Ha-yeong ,
Kim Tae-hyeon ... Yeong-eun,
Han Min ... Hyeon-ju,
Kim Chang-wan ... Ha-yeong's Father,
Hong Ji-Yeong,
Kim Ji-yu,
Kim Min-kyeong,
Lee Eung-kyung ... Ha-yeong's Mother

" After being dumped by her boyfriend just
before their 100 day anniversary, Ha-Young
(Ha Ji-Won) meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon
when she accidentally kicks a can that hits him
in the face and causes him to scratch his Lexus.
He demands she pay him $3000 on the spot.
She escapes from him, leaving her wallet behind.
Hyung-Joon stalks her, demanding money to pay for
his car. Since she is a poor high school student
Hyung-Joon writes up a “Enslavement Agreement” for
Ha-Young in order to pay for the damage to his car.
Ha-Young is thrown into a nightmarish slave life
for 100 days, cleaning his house, running his errands,
doing his homework and cleaning his car.
By accident she finds out that the damage to
Hyung-Joon’s car only costs $10! She then takes her
revenge. However, before she knows it Hyung-Joon
shows up at her house as her new tutor! He once again
takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds
herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. But
what happens when he drops out of her life just when
she needs him most? "

Honestly, I don't think this movie is very good. That
whole story about the girl working her ass of, and the
buy being a huge jerk...it really pisses me off! I
didn't even end up watching the whole movie since
it bored me so much. So, I'm just putting this out
here to see what you think???
I'm not sure. Many people like this movie, but I
just don't see why.

Kong <3, Park Si Yeon
Genre: Drama, Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 16

So,....wikipedia has a rediculously long
summary (synopsis) on this drama, which then,
it defeats the purpose for it being a SUMMARY!
Maybe my summary will help you. Although,
if you feel like it is not 'enough', go search
at wikipedia or some other website for more
info on the story.
Basically, Joo Yoo Rin (Lee Da Hae) works as
a tour guide in Jeju Island, South Korea. Her
father has a long history of gambling, and
ripping people off, but she manages to go
through them all. Meanwhile, Seol Gongchan is
still trying to find his lost cousin because
his grandfather is dying (and it's his last wish
to see her).

Through one of Joo Yoo Rin's father's
problem, she ends up meeting Seol Gongchan at
his summer home. Seol Gongchan gets the crazy
idea of 'hiring' her as his cousin, so hopefully
the grandfather wont die, and it gives him more
time to find the real lost cousin. But after
some time, Joo Yoo Rin start liking Seol Gongchan
more than just a hired cousin, and maybe Seol likes
her back? Will they ever find the real cousin?
And what about Seol Gongchan's famous tennis player
girlfriend Kim Seo Hyun (Park Si Yeon)? And
how does the hottie Lee Jun Ki fit into this picture?

Smoke

2009-10-14T09:56:00.003-05:00

I am writting from the computer in school library. >.<
There is not a lot of privacy, so I will keep this
short.
There is a rule: "If smoke, you have to be 25feet
away from the door". Obviously no one follows this.
When I walk out of the doors, to go to bus stop,
I smell smoke.
If side door to 'lounge area outside' is opened, the
smell of smoke comes inside, to the hallway.
If someone in my class smokes, the smell stays on
their clothes and breath. Yuck!
I'm sick and tired of these people.

When I wait for the bus, there is always someone
smoking next to other people who are not smoking!!!!
Yesterday, I told a guy to smoke some other place
unless he really wants everyone else to die with him.
He looked at me like I was crazy. I didn't care. He
made a rude comment, and left. Mission acomplished. ^^v

Don't ask other people, "Do you smoke? Do you mind
that I am smoking?". wtf people?
If I smoked, I would be smoking with you. And of
course people would mind! Such a stupid question. (> .>)

2009-10-12T16:44:00.003-05:00

So, I still have homework,
I just don't want to do it. xD
Then, when I AM bored, i think,
"maybe I should do my homework".
Is it bad to procrastinate? >_>?

I really just don't feel like doing
anything, unless it has to do with
studying japanese. And that class
will not start until next semester. TT_TT
I wonder if Teacher Shingo teaches
kanji in 1101 class... Then I will
REALLY have to study. xD

Just found out I got B in philosophy
test (Friday). Woho! I only got 4
questions wrong, and 1 of the questions
was the 1 that I knew I was not going
to get. xD But, didn't fail. ^^
This Thursday? More testing. =_= For
Career Development class.
and English class? My teacher is still
mean as always. >_>

::My schedule after school end::
wait for 12:59pm bus to Naperville
Train Station ---> wait for train that comes
at 1:33pm(more or less)---> get off train
---> walk home (about 6-7 minutes or less).
When I walked home today, it was so cold!!!!
>.< I could not feel my fingers, or
my feet. Tired?もっと Good news? Did not
have to pay for train today. xD

I really felt I should post about this,
since the song writer song the song "You're My Melody"
to not just SM Entertainment, but to WOW also.
I was kind of disappointed because most Americans
will not know that there is a group around the globe
singing this same song. Hmm....sad.
So, here they are.

Suposedly, he was framed because he copied
a rhythm from Lady Gaga:Pokerface. So, I will
let you argue about that issue. In the meantime,

Hello Schoolgirl

2009-10-08T18:52:00.004-05:00

Alternate Title: 순정만화
Release: November 2008
Korea Casts: Ji-Tae Yu ,
Lee Yeon Hee
Genre: Drama, Romance

Summary:
"" Yun-woo Kim works as a low level civil servant
in a district office. Although he is thirty, he is
still innocent for his age and has been on numerous
unfruitful blind dates in search of a suitable wife.
After moving to a new place, he runs runs into
Soo-yong Han, a high school student who lives downstairs.
Soo-young Han is a cheerful and eccentric 18-year-old
who lives with her mother that acts like a princess.

Meanwhile,
Sook Kang has just started to work at the district
office straight after graduating from high school and
falls head over heels for Ha-kyuing Kwon, a woman who
always smokes in the same spot, becuase of her beautiful
smile. Ha-kyung is still holding onto an old flame and
keeps on looking for traces of that love every day.
Sook Kang continues to keep wooing her, irregardless
of her living in the past. Can their futures lead to
a happy ending?""

I think it was ok... Not greatest movie, but entertaining.
It's nice how they added they guy from [Super Junior] as
one of the main characters, other than in the TV show
[We Got Married].
One of the stricking things you will notice, is the fact
that this guy [Yun-woo Kim] is 30 years old!!!! I thought
that was a little.....odd.
Nonetheless,
its a good movie, but I would not expect too much from it.

So,
the drama has finally ended!!!! o(^ 0^)O
WOOOOHOOO!!!!
Even when I went to the japanese market,
I saw this drama being advertised and
talked about in one of the magazines. ^__^
I was excited, even though I could not
read a lot of it. ^^'''

If you were at that stage of your life
where one decision can make a HUGE
difference in your life, would you take
it? Do you let it go?
This is what Kamiya Naoki had to face.
He is a basketball player that belongs
to his company, but is weak when it
comes to pressure, work, and romance.
Although, his relationship life is about
to take a huge turn (which you will find
out on...the 1st episode xD), he is able
to keep his cool.
Will his troubles catch up to him? And
what's with the new girl cheering him?

Sudenly,
a middle-class girl is
starting at Saint Lucia's High
School after both her parents

acompanied by a butler. (Rule: There

a student and her butler.) But when
Mei enters the school, she is in the
lowest rank possible.
Will she survive this school? What will
happen?

This one is pretty good ^^v
Although there are times where I'm like,
"I know where this is going",
but it is entertaining to see what
happens.

Weird is it?

2009-09-05T22:17:00.003-05:00

I sent my 1st letter 2 weeks ago. ^^
I am waiting for reply. Maybe
it will come soon. When I recived
her letter,
she put magazine pages. I still
cannot read katakana ^^''',
so I am trying my best to memorize now.
Maybe I can use words from magazine
pages.

And,....
again I have to go to Mr. Liu for
recommendation. -_- (for Nippon summer program)
I hope I will not
bother him at new school Matea.
With that,
there is so much reading for college!!!!!
I will not have a lot of time for mangas. TT_TT
or dramas. >_>

More days,
I think I am too excited for
something I am not sure will happen.

Por eso,
¡¡¡¡¡¡espero que puedo ir a japón, i sacar MUCHAS

Hotaru no Hikari

2009-08-24T17:20:00.003-05:00

Alternative Title: ホタルノヒカリ / Glow of Fireflies [Firefly's Glow]
Release: July 2007
Japan Casts: Ayase Haruka, Fujiki Naohito,
Itaya Yuka, Kato Kazuki, Kurotani Tomoka,
Maruyama Tomomi, Takeda Shinji,
Watabe Gota, Yasuda Ken

Hotaru works for a famous design company.
She is the average, normal girl when it
comes to work. Once she steps foot in her
house, she turns into a different woman.
Hotaru is what society calls a [himono onna].
A dried up woman. She stays all her time
at home, dressed in baggy clothes with
old stains, drinking beer, rolling around
the floor.
But this life does not stay a secret when
her boss shows up at her door. Soon, she is
told to move out. What will she do?

So,
this one is older than Mr. Brain {the
same woman plays in this drama too^^}. but,
it is very entertaining. Some times, it's
like watching a live anime with people since
she talks about her emotions alot. The story
is also about how she starts liking this
guy , and her way of coming out of her bad
habbits.
I really liked this one. ^^ And is entertaining.
Personaly, took a break of a couple days after
episode 6 because it was a good ending for the
time being, and then continued. ^^ But that's
just me.
I hope you enjoy it. :3

An awesome fantasy movie about a girl
named Sophie, who receives a bad curse
from a witch, that makes her look like
an old lady. And her journey with a
guy who she falls in love with.
How will she get rid of the curse?

I don't think there is really one way
to describe a movie, since there are many
things happening.
It's really cool though!
The artwork is again awesome, the story
is awesome. It's all awesome. xD xD

By the way,
the link that is attached to is the 1st
one that I wrote below.
I attach more links to see if the 1st one
does not work, and if you are a little tired
of subtitles. All work.
Please leave a message or comment if there
is any problem.
