Have a seat…

 

          relax…

 

    read this slowly…

 

                                and

 

 


                                     

 

This sums it all up.

 
I believe -
 
   …that just because
two people argue, it does not mean they don’t love each other.  And
just because they do not argue, it doesn’t mean they do.
 
I believe -
 
   …that we do not have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
 
I believe -
 
   …that no matter how good a friend is, they are going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for it.
 
I believe -
 
   …that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.  The same goes for true love.
 
I believe -
 
   …that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
 
I believe -
 
   …that it has taken me a long time to become the person I want to be.
 
I believe -
 
   …that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.  It may be the last time you see them.
 
I believe -
 
   …that you  can keep going long after you think you can’t.
 
I believe -
 
   …that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
 
I believe -
 
   …that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
 
I believe -
 
   …that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
 
I believe -
 
   …that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
 
I believe -
 
   …that my best friends and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
 
I believe -
 
      …that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you are down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
 
I believe -
 
   …that sometimes when I am angry I have the right to be angry, but that does not give me the right to be cruel.
 
I believe -
 
   …that it is not always enough to be forgiven by others.  Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself too.
 
I believe -
 
   …that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world does not stop for your grief.
 
I believe -
 
   …that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
 
I believe -
 
   …that you should not be so eager to find out a secret.  It could change your life forever.
 
I believe -
 
   …that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
 
I believe -
 
   …that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who do not even know you.
 
I believe -
 
   …that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.
 
I believe -
 
   …that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
 
I believe -
 
   …that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I hope you believe
too.  If you have any you would like to add to this, please leave them
in the comments.  We may not all share the same beliefs, but we can
still support each other in the ones we have.
 

Thanks for believing with me!

My Girl (Drama - 2005/06) - 마이걸 (Ma-i Geol)

December 25th, 2007 by billy-the-kids

Well, this is a korean drama out during Dec 2005. Maybe it’s too late to review, but I just love it. It came before "Goong @ Princess Hours". I was recommended by my friends about this drama. I bought the dvd and started watching on Wednesday.

Gosh, I was totally hooked up by this drama. One episode after another, I just couldn’t stop watching. My curiosity made me sit at my bed in front of my desktop for the whole day wondering what will happen next in this beautiful, romantic and touching story. I missed my breakfast, then lunch.. I just couldn’t help it. Watched the final episode yesterday. I’m gonna miss this drama. I rate this drama 5/5.

"My Girl" is a SBS production that spans 16 episodes. Funny as it sounds, 16 episodes to me is very short. However, at least this drama don’t drag and lives up to the moment. Compared to Goong, 28episodes, there was some drag in the middle.

I’ve read some reviews from others, well, I totally agree. This is a very un-Korean like drama. We often see people dying and lots of sobbing. But in "My Girl", there is way more laughing than crying.

"My Girl" is not a completely melodramatic drama. The first thirteen episodes were seriously physiotherapy for stomach muscles. I laughed a lot. It’s very funny and exciting. Until the last 3 episodes, the comedy became tragedy. It’s touching and depressing. Well, I have to admit, I did cried. I just can’t control.

I’ve found this video. How the two characters’ love story will turn out if it was a ‘TYPICAL’ Korean Drama. LOL

Option 1: They finally found that they are brother and sister
Option 2: GongChan is actually adopted.
Option 3: YouRin actually have few months left. She’s having cancer.

Synopsis
When Gong-chan (Lee Dong-wook) meets the lively and beautiful Yu-rin (Lee Da-hae), he notices the resemblance between her and his long-lost cousin, whom his dying grandfather has been searching for. He hires Yu-rin to stand in for his missing cousin as a final gesture to his grandfather - but his own growing feelings for her threaten to ruin everything. The real drama begins when Gong-chan’s ex-girlfriend, a pro tennis star (Park Si-yeon), enters the scene determined to win him back.

As Yoorin spends more time with Gongchan’s family, she gets showered with the love she never received as a child and finds herself drawn to Gongchan. She finds herself changing from the liar that she once was to a person who tries to tell the truth when she can. But she knows all too well that her one-sided love will never materialize as the difference in social status between Gongchan and herself is too big.

But unknown to her, Gongchan is also slowly being drawn to her…

Goong

December 25th, 2007 by billy-the-kids

Majestic? Well, Goong’s fan will scream with anxiety when browsing these pictures. This is the Korean drama I’ve been watching lately. I spent 3 days to watch 24 episodes of it. I was attracted by the discussion going on in the public, friends and radio station about this drama. Thus, due to my curiosity I bought the dvd and start watching. First day, 5 episodes then next day 10 episodes and just finished yesterday 9 episodes.

A high budget drama portraying life of a royal family during 20th century. Daily life of Prince William (England)? no… although he does appear in this drama. It’s a story of a Crown Prince in Korea.

Goong is story about the love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with a startling diagnosis that the King is terminally ill. 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 Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae-gyung that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae-gyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin’s grandfather.

A high budget drama portraying life of a royal family during 20th century. Daily life of Prince William (England)? no… although he does appear in this drama. It’s a story of a Crown Prince in Korea.

Ever wonder ‘What if modern Korea were a constitutional monarchy with a king?’ A royal family story.

For Goong (Princess Hours) fans, hope you enjoy the pictures. While, those who never watched this drama before, well, it’s worth to watch. Although it’s a bit draggy in the middle.. the climax is worth to be waited. Something different from this drama with others is that we can learn lots of korean culture and an imaginative world of royalty in Korea.

The Road Not Taken

September 23rd, 2006 by billy-the-kids
Robert Frost (1874–1963).  Mountain Interval.  1920.
The Road Not Taken
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;         5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,         10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.         15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.         20

I like this poem very much when I was in middle secondary high school…for more detail visit…. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken
