Lol. I know exactly what you mean. I get jipped every year even though my birthday is like 10 days before christmas. Gah for people who combine gifts. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Thank you! I'm awful with the birthday thing. I do countdowns and remind every single person I know. But yay!! It's december. It's freaking freezing outside. Yesterday too. Windy!! I was trying to walk my dog, and we both half froze to death on our way to the park.
Lump of coal? Pouts. I was thinking more along the lines of Lee Seung-gi with a nice bow. Preferably green. I like green :).
@ Tangled Aw, that's crap. I was supposed to be born on July 4th (U.S. Independence Day for any non-US people here), which would have meant having my birthday on America's Most Important National Holiday. Every year. Forever. Fug that noise! I came nearly a week early. I was NOT sharing my birthday. Luckily 4th of July isn't a season (unlike Christmas), so it doesn't interfere with the celebration of me. Woot!
Totally with you Lahlita. My doctor was aiming for April 13th as my due date; it's the Thai New Year, Songkran. Ugh. I can't even imagine. I'm gonna come off sounding selfish but no way could I have handled sacrificing my birthday to attend to all the traditional new year stuff. Aren't birthdays the one day you can afford to be a little me-focused?
Just like you, I was like, uh, no and popped out a full week early. It's still a holiday, but a more minor one with no obligations and I get the day off! :D
It's 'kay mommy, I am already hiding behind Siwon. She won't dare hit me when she might accidentally hurt him! :)
*peeks over his shoulder* My darling, darling ahjumma-nim, Why are you so mad?! *wounded puppy eyes*
I am only following your wishes and being respectful to you. I mean, you did go to great length to stress that you are sooooo much Older than me, and that I should address you formally. Ahjumma-nim is a very polite form of address! Or, we can go back to me being the didi, and you could be the sweet, noble little sister who suffers her forbidden love for her brother-in-law in silence! Your choice. ;)
Why are people so mean sometimes? Yesterday, this woman came to the computer lab, and started complaining about three people who were working on a project a table away. Apparently their very very low whispering was bothering her. I asked them to please be even quieter, and they very nicely moved three tables away. A few minutes later they actually left the lab, but before they left they said bye to their friends and actually got audible! gasp!
So the woman started berating me about how I wasn't doing my job in keeping people, and she was going to do something about the noise, e.t.c. Lady, the already left! I smiled politely and didn't think much of it.
A few hours later, when I was closing the lab, she started again about how, working in the lab isn't that hard, and if I couldn't do such an easy job maybe it isn't the job for me and that I should be fired. She used such incredibly venomous tones, and she looked so mad that she was practically spitting out the words.
This isn't even the first time she did this. During the summer she yelled at me for five minutes straight, about how I am incompetent, and a disgrace and how I should be fired! Because get this, I laughed with a patron while helping her! She has such a cutting, poisonous tone that it just shriveled me up inside. I cried.
I am friends with all the regular patrons and some even tell me they come to the lab only when I am working. I try so hard to be helpful and nice to everyone. Heck , I even helped her several times with the most basic of computer tasks that even my computer illiterate mother (not lessaofpern) can do! I was extremely patient and polite too I might add.
So, because of this I ended up staying later to close, missed the early train, waited for the bus in 30 degree windy weather for 40 minutes, gave up and walked through deserted streets and finally got home at 12:45 a.m. :(
Phew, I am all better after the rant!! The unicorns roses and sunshine are back! Tra la la Tra lala *skips down to la la land* :)
I swear, I'm gonna make my way up North just to have a talking to some of the people who live there! How DARE they talk to my dongsaeng that way! I'd give 'em a what-for they'd never forget! You call me next time and I'll let 'em know just how far they can take that stick that's shoved... okay, I can't say that in front of my little sister.
I'll tell them to go buy some ice cream and have a nice day. Then I'd teleport myself up to that computer library, make you go outside, and physically adjust her attitude.
@ Viola You want mommy to take care of her? When you are not on duty, and she is there, I'll put up such a stink that she will never think of returning!!!! All jokes aside *hugs* people like that get me hopping mad. You are such a sweet and RESPECTFUL person. Unfortunately there are a lot of crabby people out there, who aways seem to have their knickers in a twist. They just like to make other people's life miserable because they are not happy themselves. Don't worry, your Supervisor and the other patrons appreciate you :D You also know we all love you to bits, so keep on smiling :D *POOH BEAR HUG*
Viola-yah, you've miscalculated. My lust surpasses my pride. Therefore, I will wear my Ahjumma moniker with honor and invoke the right of the elder. Flick away from my Siwon, you dongsaeng, you!
Lessaofpern Mata-ji, you are a good mother, but you can never shield her from the WRATH THAT IS LAHLITA PROVOKED. This is the next step in our epic saga. Now the two sisters must turn against each other, and dis ahjumma is about to be evil.
But before the evil begins...hugs! I'm sorry about that library patroness. Stupid ingrate wench. Don't let her get to you. You're absolutely wonderful, and it's not your fault she was like that. She's unhappy, and unhappy people take no joy in life. Reaffirm to yourself that you are beautiful and loved, and just continue to live your life.
OK, back to the evil: Viola-yah, if you EVER stick your tongue out at me again, I will relieve you of it! You will never merong again.
Dr Fatimus Act V Scene 1 *looks at a picture of Siwon.*
Was his the face that launched a thousand ships
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Siwon, make me immortal with a kiss.
……
I will be Paris, and for love of thee,
Instead of Troy, shall Dramaland be sacked;
And I will combat with weak Lahlita,
And wear thy colors on my plumed crest.
……..
For, thou art fairer than the evening air
Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars;
More lovely than the monarch of the sky
And none but thou shalt be my paramour!
Yes, I just compared Siwon to Helen of Troy. :p
*wears a flowing white dress* *Arms held open*
I have implored you, Lahlita my fair sister, to give up your false claims on my rightful husband. But, you, burning in the fires unholy lust have stopped you ears against reason - only the mad light of greed and desire now burn in your once gentle eyes. *tears*
*bows head in sorrow* Since you would not accept the love that exist between Siwon and I, then let there be War between you and I!
*A single perfect tear rolls down face*
:) XD
Thou mayst orate from dawn till dusk, indulging in hollow speeches writ for thee by Kit Marlowe, untalented knave. Thou mayst weep thine cinematic tears, but still, thou art ever outmatched. Verily, shall I do epic shit to thee! Siwon loves thee not. He knowest thee not. He cares naught for thee.
Now, Viola, take thine claim back again,
That late thou made to me;
for all who go against me doth fall; their souls
Are but a little way above our heads,
Staying for thine to keep them company:
Either thou, or I, or both, must go with them.
Unni, you're funny. I think it'll be the other way around, now that I've seen Yeppeo-goon. The boy is a child-model cash-cow, and I want my cut. Apparently he's a 6'0"-tall, 14-year-old now, hey? How quickly they grow.
Speaking of cute boys, how has brother-in-law T.O.P. been lately? Still bringing the sexiness?
My baby is doing great... and I think he might actually be 6'1" now. He's working on his science project as we speak... he and his dad are working on anti-gravity... nerds.
My other husband, T.O.P is about to release an album in a little over a week. I'm retardedly excited about the whole thing... although Girlfriday said that it was bad that I still think he's hot even with his new hair.
Yeppeo-goon is 6'1"? He was just 5'11" a few months ago! Unbelievable. Shopping for him must be frustrating. When my cousin was 14 he went from 5'9" to 6'5" in a little over a year. His bones were growing so fast that the doctor had to put him on pain medication. My baby spent that entire year in a medicated haze. But he has been at 6'6" for four years now so we think he's done, thank God.
I'm curious about the anti-gravity science project. How are they illustrating gravity defiance? They do sound like total nerds, which is adorable!
I never have to shop, boy has eight grandparents who're all sending all sorts of clothing for him once I complained about keeping him in clothing that covers his ankles. I love family.
They're working with this T. Townsend Brown thing called a Lifter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bicra-36fBo&feature=related and people are arguing if it is really anti-gravity or what. I call it anti-gravity 'cause I don't care what it actually is, it just looks cool. I'll see if we can't film it and upload it when he's finished.
Huggles back! My presence might be sporadic, but I'll be around. I've really missed you ladies. I've been going back through the Open Threads and *snerk*, y'all are sick. LOL.
Us? Really? Are you SURE? We are not sick? Are we? Hold on a second ( hides from the men in white coats.....OK the coast is clear now.) What was I saying? ...........
My boyfriend ALWAYS forgets my birthday. He actually doesn't remember anyone's birthday, and I've sort of gotten used to it, but still . . . . I wonder if sharing my birthday with a major holiday would help him to remember.
Your recaps have been keeping me updated with Secret Garden and Mary Stayed Out All Night. Unfortunately I have had so much to catch up on at school, boo.
And this weekend and next week will be no fun because I have a bunch of papers to write and finals next week. I'm only thankful this semester is practically over so I can finally start watching these two dramas.
But on not so happy Xmas news, my sis refuses to buy me anything from yesasia because they look 'sketch', and none the cds I want are on amazon. Seriously, I will never get my korean indie fix.
LOL @ the song title as I was going to say exactly the same thing. Boiler broke down. It is snowing in London. For those who don't live in London, boiler working = hot water and heating. Broken boiler = wearing thermals and puffy jackets indoors, going to friends' places to shower and turning the oven on to get heat. Woe is me. :)
Unfortunately it is not fixable. Need to get a new one. British Gas is supposed to come by today to give me a quote. It's 4pm. They haven't arrived. Woe is me. :P
I feel for you. My hubby is attending a conference in London on Monday. Hope the trains will be running! Down here in Dorset, there's no school and dodgy roads but nowhere near as bad as it's in London.
Catch the latest episode of MSOAN on Kimchidrama.blogspot.com That'll warm you up!
oh God, EVERY YEAR our boiler has issues, every winter for the last couple years we have lost our hot water. when we complain Dad starts on about not taking things for granted. ><"
Good luck dealing with British Gas. They never show up on time. The part about the snow, some of my family lives in Manchester and when it snows a little bit, they say the roads become awful. I grew up in New York and you needed at least a foot of snow to fall, before you were allowed to complain about it :P
British Gas came and went. Gave me a whopping quote of £3,000 to replace my boiler. Woe is me :(
Yes, a foot of snow sounds like a reasonable amount before one starts complaining but we're not equipped to deal with any amount of snow here. It's too funny. :D
I was out shopping with a visiting cousin after the boiler broke down cos it was warmer in the shops than my flat. Saw a nice pair of Mui Mui heels. Had to remind myself that I have a broken boiler and that a warm flat and hot water is more important than new shoes. But then remembered I had vouchers for that particular department store which I could use to buy the shoes ... because the vouchers can't be used for the boiler. Score! :P
Maybe you can rig a set-up like MG in MSOAN - now THAT would grant some major kdrama addict cred. I swear, every time they run a scene at his place I mostly focus on the heater set-up. I keep trying to figure out the venting - I'm pretty sure its too long a run for the diameter of the vent, but oh well - its just a drama.
Is that a burner/stove that MG has? I always did wonder how she cooked the bean soup on that thing if it was just a heater. But yes, feeling MG's pain re cold apartment at the moment...
Huh. Could be, I guess. I just assumed it was a heater. We used to boil water and cook soup occasionally on top a woodstove when I was a kid - also worked well as a cheapo humidifier.
oh no i feel for you. really. i'm in uk, and there was once my boiler broke and i had to camp in front of my tiny fire place with all that soot. gah :(
plus this winter is really bad! -2 degrees and it's not even jan. i had to drive on icy road.
i would.... eat at kim sam soon's bakery (ogle at her hot boyfriend),
..go to 63 tower (?) and namsan,
...chill a little a 1st store of prince coffee and see all the "prince baristas", check out "princess" coffee (haha maybe i'll see harim and eun chan there!)
... buy a few books at that coffee shop/ bookstore where that crazy writer lee also lives. :P
...i'd watch the sunset and have dinner at "my friends" beachside house. she's a writer and he's an actor (who just made his comeback! haha)
...check out the curriculum and grounds of shinhwa university, maybe look at some scholarship possibilities :P
...go catch a A.N.Jell concert with the buds after dark. i heard their singer is awesome. like that guy who sings Oh my bus at hongdae
...drink some soju and eat sam gyup sal at the nearest pojongmacha
....and lastly, once sufficiently drunk, i fully intend to go to the han river and... break up with my boyfriend. or blackmail someone.
Don't forget to put "drunken piggyback ride from Hongdae my bus singer" in the itinerary, I think it would be best placed somewhere after the Han river breakup/blackmail shindig.
Or you could enter into fake marriage contract and break it in one night after finding out he was just playing around with you to get back at his male, chaebol drama-producing lover. But you're okay with it, because who can compete with all that man-pretty?
I am sure we are all believers here, but if there were any doubts about who is the OTP of MSOAN, I am sure these lovely videos by Diadda will put them to rest ;)
NO ONE! no one COULD compete with all that man hotness!!!!! diadda is right, ya'll. let's face it: a girl sometimes has to admit that she'll only EVER come in 3rd! .....also, do we have enough time or operation-seduce-chaebol-and-rocker-then-break-up-at-the-han-river? .....we only have 36 hours!! LOL
Because it's K-drama land, the Han river sequence will only take five minutes as a series of longing stares, close-up eyebrow furrowing, and single-tear-rolling-down-cheek shots. The only lines used by all three characters will be a combination of: "how could you?" "I'm sorry" and "stay by my side forever"
If we go as a group... will this be part of Operation Obtain a Plane? Will we take home "souvenirs?" That might be a little hard to get through Customs...
NOOO there will be no k drama again after cause we will take them all the pretty boys and re-manufacture them in each of our country so everybody will have their own "souvenirs" and no war because of it.
weeeeeell, i've NEVER seen anyone go through customs in kdrama land.. have you?? ...ergo, i conclude, it does not exist! LOL ...operation Obtain a Plane is ON! hahaha
Thanks cille for the article. I've been trying to plan a trip to Seoul since beginning of this year and not it is almost end of the year. Work has gotten in the away.
All this Travel information will be helpful...
We don't have snow here in the desert but it has been very cold the past few days.
I thought it didn't work, but as a child of the 80's the first one didn't work either. It was only a really cool effect back then. And I am guilt of chuckling at this version too.
Not sure if you've seen Mary Stayed Out All Night. If you haven't, please try it. It is addicting! The lead starts JGS and MGY are awesomely adorable! It is now in Episode 7. JB and GF have been generously recapping it here in dramabeans.
definitely following MSOAN, and digging our main couple, but the rest seems...off to say the least. I guess i'm just waiting on some (more) conflict and 2nd lead heart tugs. Anyways, thanks for the suggestion
You're welcome chisaicherry. Thanks for the kind words regarding my name. I thought your name is cool too. I'm not sure but is "chisai" a Japanese word?
I was going to suggest "Secret Garden" too and I see others have already done so...Just by reading the recaps from JB/GF, I find this drama very interesting drama. I could not stop laughing :) after reading the yesterday's "spoiler" Article from JB.
the new captions on the new headers (instead of "blogging my kdrama obssession") are amusing. props to whoever put those in. ..... "well, that's dramatic" kind of made my day. :)
so.. in other news, i am NOT feeling christmassy yet, and i've been marathoning Bones for almost 100 hours (not straight, of course....i sleep. and eat. .........sometimes.)
aaaanyway, my point is: BOOTH AND BRENNAN <3
HAHAHA! Almost like the year when I decided to hold an NCIS marathon (after all my finals were done with), beginning from the episode Ziva first appeared. Non-stop watching to the point where I forget about food. XD
But, I wanted to ask if "Beaners" is what we're called now. I mean, I've been going with Dramabeanians, until I saw a post where it said "OTers" or "Open Threaders" (of course, that's for those that come to OT on Friday). Has there been a consensus yet on what we're called? (What? I love nicknames. They're cool. Like TMNT. NCIS. PigRabbit. Eh teh cah.) With Secret Garden on, I'm tempted to call everyone Beanies, in honor of Binnie! XD
the OTers are pretty tight, the people give you a real family feel, but i don'[t know what we're called. as for dramabeans-readers in general, i've been on this site for almost 3 years, 4 years? (WHOA. EVERYFREAKINDAY for ALMOST FOUR years?? what is LIFE. lol) .....and i've always sort of gone with "beaners"....
...on wordpress, jb used to really go by javabeans, and then she sort of transitioned to dramabeans (am i remembering this correctly? anyone? ).... so "beans" wads the common thing.. SO. HAHHAHAHAHAHA what is an impromptu history lesson.
But, please, for the love of God, let's NOT call ourselves "Beaners." HAHAHA. My mother would shit a brickhouse if she knew I was going around calling myself a Beaner on the internet (her people are partly Hispanic, although not Mexican). She would slap me into next week. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=beaner
Anyway, I sometimes call Javabeans 'Beanie-unni', so I'm chill with being a Beanie.
@ JOmo
" press the red play button, then the green play button," hahahaa. You crack me up! Don't worry, I will avenge you!
:)
@ Diadda
Aunty dear, you should be made to take your own medicine! Now imagine it's Daesung, in the mask of Hades whispering hotly in your ears " press the red play button, then the green play button," in the soft, velvet dark.... Now, you know how Jomo felt! :)
P.s. You just smacked into a wall, turn left for the cold shower. :)
Dang nab it!. I had no idea it was that bad for others. I am soooo very sorry for my corrupting ways. I shall never repent, but I shall have more sympathy in the future. :)
Jomo Darling, you get a not only the regular Pink Heart that I bestow on the deicated Yummy fans, you get the Hot Pink Heart for this!! It's the first of its kind ever given out!! :)
Happy Friday everyone! I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! :)
I have one more thing to add to Theasianstalker's wonderful "You are a K-drama addict."
*You know you are a K-drama addict if you freak out when your friend says she had a nosebleed. :(
Yesterday, I ran into my classmate in the bathroom, and I asked her why she was so late to class.
Friend: "I had a nosebleed for the past twenty minutes"
Me: " OMG!!!!! Why didn't you tell me you were sick?!! Are you okay?! Omg omg omg!"
Friend: 0_0 it's just a nosebleed.......
Me: *stops hyperventilating* .... You are sooo lucky you don't live in K dramaland!!
My brain had automatically went to nosebleed= cancer mode. I was totally freaked out, especially since I had just watched an episode of Snow Queen. Well, after about 10 seconds of defcon 5, my brain finally remembered that the dry air of winter causes nosebleeds and in the real world it's not a symptom of every single deadly disease!
hahaha lmao! That's hilarious. My friend told me she was going on an arranged date, and I suggested that she take a fake husband along to discourage him.
Didin't Samsooki come up with a law of humidifier? One humidifier you might recover, Two humidifiers you are in trouble. But four means you are dead! :)
I'll never look at a humidifier the same way again!!!!
HUBAND...... Here is a humidifier I got for you.
WIFE...... Do I have a terminal illness I don't know about yet?
Haha yes Samsooki did come up with that law. :) It's great and pretty much stands true to almost all kdramas lol, which obviously transfers into real life, right??
LOOOOL i miss humidifier shorthand scenes.. in my head, there's a very amusing montage of My Girl, Brilliant Legacy, ALL the "season" dramas (autumn in my heart, summer scent, spring waltz, winter sonata) hahahaha!
samsooki's law of humidifiers holds!
LOL Out of the blue last month I got a nosebleed. It kind of freaked me out too. Then I thought, what might have triggered it? Before I would have thought I had some thing too HOT ( in my culture, we believe that food has both HOT and COLD properties). After watching tons of Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese dramas, and reading Mangas, I have a different take on nosebleeds now. I was thinking OMG are there H thoughts running through my mind? Oh No, Oh No!!!! Then I remembered I had just watched a Badgirl MV!!!!!! You Badgirl Diadda !!!! <3
How characters in K drama always get cold after caught in the rain always make me "are you kidding me?" or "no don't say you will faint caused of cold after this". But not after I experienced it my own in few days back, 2 times I caught in rain, 2 times I got cold after it.
This fact made me LOL through my high fever and dizziness and I think I guess I'm living in K drama land now. And half doubt my self : what if my sickness is only some process of internalization of k drama? ha, ha, ha "K drama what have you done to me??"
I am sorry sis you got a cold! Lessaofpern and I were talking about giving the K drama people the Bollywood immunity to rain a few weeks ago. 'Cause you know those actors can dance for hours in the moonsoon rain, and run around trees in wet saris for extended fantasy sequences and they NEVER catch a cold! :)
Happy Friday Dramabeanians!!! XD Or should I be saying "Open Threaders"? A shout out to all Running Man fans. I'm really loving how the show is picking up momentum. I hope it has a longer run than the flop that was FO2. Does anyone else love how Gwang Soo was on a role in episode 14? I can't wait to watch the episode on the cruise line. I know I'm behind, but I wait patiently for the subs (the subber group of which, by the way, have been picking up speed like crazy lately). So, Merry Weekend to all and to all a good cheer. And to my fellow "stuck in school" mates, good luck with Finals and Dead Week (what my school calls the week before finals... and when Professors literally try to kill students. I have 3 20+ page papers due the same day, plus 4 presentations that same week. EEK!).
Can't fall asleep so just decided to join in on the OT while in bed on my iPhone.
I'm finally graduating tomorrow, yay for me!!!! no more classes and exams for the rest of my life :D
Baby is doing good. I did find out I'm having a boy (thank you drunk husband. i like having my surprises ruined. NOT!). but it's all good cuz now i can get more things prepared. 3.5 more months to go!!
I haven't posted a lot lately, but I'm always reading... lurking mode activated. :)
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. I am really looking forward to the second OT baby! :) Please remember to post pictures for the attic full of crazy aunts! :)
Omg! That is Wonderful!! I am so happy and so jealous of you. I have been stuck in the limbo of undergrad years, and it feels like I will never graduate. Judging from your handle are you graduating from med school? :)
over-exposure to the sun = skin problems
over-exposure to the Moon = disabling consequences
it was a struggle replying to all these shared Moony stuff here, because at the instant of Moon exposure, my psycho-motor coordination began to falter.
excuse me, i need my meds... (reaches for my external hard drive where tons of YAI photos are stored)
sorry for the very late reply. I was feeling very tired yesterday and could only drop by and leave a couple of posts before catching up with sleep and rest. workday was so eventful yesterday at it was an insane tug-o-war between good and bad things happening one after the other.
speaking of insane... :)
LOL! this loony-noona couldn't help but giggle at the sight of the astonished crazy horse. :D gosh! it's been only a few days but I felt like I missed the Moon so much! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this one. not posh, but definitely LOVELY! ;) here we see a different side of him.
well... in the true sense of being a Moony-loony-noona, I scanned the entire photo and observed two things:
(1) i love the silver thumb ring. :) it doesn't jive much with his getup but it's a tiny statement that says: "Bad Boy on board." :)
(2) considering that k-fashion is going all mighty-tighty, why is he wearing loose clothes? esp. the pants. the waist part is sagging and it looks like the trousers are gonna fall - not that I really mind! :D I have the urge to give him a belt, and Imma be the one to put it on him. nyahahahaha!!! :D (fighting off guilt for the Moony looks bloody young in the pic.)
TGIF peeps ^^
I need the 17th to get here post-haste, finals need to be over >.<. I want to go home and just marathon every drama I'm behind in because of exams lol
I can relate Semigemi. Only, for a slight difference. My finals are supposed to end on the 17th, but since I only have papers, I'm cramming to get them finished by the 10th so I don't have to stay an extra week. As much as I love college and being free from my parents, the people in my dorm tend to get annoying after awhile.
But it also works out because Athena starts airing a few days after I move back home.
Awwws, I doubt I could live in the dorms. I stayed in an all-girl house in my first year and knew that I needed to stay in an apartment after that to keep my sanity lol. Yeah, rents are good in moderation..
It's not that bad; there's just these people living above me and my roomie who like to stomp their feet or bounce a basketball...whichever it is, I just want it to stop.
My second year of undergrad I got an old apartment with my then-best friend. She and I were totally thrilled that our upstairs neighbors were hot guys who preferred to walk around without their shirts on in the hot Memphis weather. One night, I heard some weird sounds coming from the bedroom above me, and my first assumption was that the guys had put a trampoline in that room. I pulled my roommate in to listen with me, and then we heard... some other noises. We figured out that it was not a trampoline. I had problems looking at the guy for about a week afterward, especially because my roommate felt the need to tell him about my thoughts on the trampoline.
My birthday was yesterday, so looking forward to this weekend. Time fly so quickly. I remember the break-up. Something feel like I am going older and need to look for a husband and have babies...haha. HAPPY FRIDAY...
Have some rest pipit it is over midnight now (are you coming from country in South east asia region?). If you have good rest today, you will do your job better tomorrow.
I am finally back in Texas after spending the Thanksgiving with inlaws in Florida...and I can re watch Secret Garden because I was just relying on the recaps. So nice to be home although a little bit cold here though...
Tomorrow is Saturday....Saturday!! I never am so excited with weekends months ago when SKKS was airing...lol
Have a safe weekend everyone...and before we know it...Christmas is here. Never done any shopping yet....*sigh*
Can't wait for new Secret Garden eppies this weekend!
Can't wait for this week to be over too. Work has totally sucked and I just need some quality time with my laptop lols.
I think I'm getting sick though, boo! :( That's what I get for going out during the work week... this is my punishment for my glutinous behavior (ayce kobe kbbq on wed and din tai fung dumplings last nite)... oh well, i guess it's worth it! haha
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Can't believe it's december already...
dude, dumplings sound so good right now. may have to make another stop at dosirak to get mulmandoo again. YUM! oohh.. and an order of yaki mandoo should be good too. thanks alot, twin.
i have done zero xmas shopping so far. and i still have finals the week of xmas.. so when am i gonna get any shopping done? xmas eve, stores better not close too early. LOL.
Happy Friday beautiful dramabeans people!
I'm sitting at the Dr's office waiting for my ride home (thanks to Eve for eating that apple). Thank God for wifi from the school across the street, my waiting time is quite joyful :). Where's my Jin Ho when I need a stomach rub? :).
I should be working on my proposal...but mostly waiting for new Secret Garden eps and rewatching You're Beautiful clips. I had the 'brilliant' idea of putting Shin Woo in one of my fanfics, and I now have to refresh my memory on his mannerisms. Lol. I care more about that that my work. That's addiction, right? :D
And when on earth will Song Joongki have a new drama? That much cute should not be idle. ;P
Happy friday!!.....currently enjoying SG and MSOAN...so glad i'm done with the last set of exams before finals...really not something that cheers me up.....glad to know i'm not the only one feeling christmasy yet......the cold is killing me and i'd rather than go christmas shopping right now
OMG, Secret Garden! So wonderful. I was just imagining last night while watching it, how it would be if Jang Hyuk remained the Joo Won rather than Hyun Bin. HB is just so fantastic, I just can't see it. Also because Jang Hyuk is so much more masculine than HB is, I don't know if it wouldn't fit right or if it would just be even more funny to see the body switch. Can ya'll imagine? Either way, I'm absolutely loving Binnie in this. I think he's so perfect as Joo Won/Ra Him, it may have all been for the best. =)
same here. i bet jang hyuk's dissapointed in not taking the drama, considering how popular it is. but i cant quite imagine him in the sparkly blue tracksuit unlike hyun bin :D
I only have a week left of this semester (technically two, but I don't need to be around for finals week). But that week will be filled with:
2 6-8pg papers. One analyzing Margaret Atwood's written voice. The other an introduction to an anthology on plays having to do with the American Dream (using three plays we read for class).
1 3-5pg paper analyzing a social movement (I'm thinking I'll write about the women's suffrage movement here in the USA).
1 Portfolio including a 2-4pg cover letter and the final drafts to all papers from the class.
1 Instruction set (for a business communications class) explaining how to put together a lego creation. <--best assignment ever. I mean come on, any class where you get to play with legos for the entire class period is pretty cool.
But I have until the 10th to finish it all. Ugh. Being an English major has it's downsides in all this work, just because I want to work in publishing.
I'm catching up on all the dramas I neglected this past week and trying not to cringe at the amount I'll have to catch up on next week cause there's more than I thought...
Sending you a Supper Duper Oppa HUG your way! ( Please select the Oppa of your choice right now) :D This service includes a complementary kiss as well :D
My friday has had a super early start and its gonna have a late finish!!ayaya!
oh boy! I have a major confrontation thing going down today!(Dont you hate it when people are just so awful to the point where they force you to some major confrontation)
Luck darling! Remember to take your magic crystals with you! :) I hate confrontation, I avoid avoid avoid them! I am glad you have the guts to stand up for yourself! :) <3
just had myself a confrontation with a bunch of JERKS at the car dealership i just bought a vehicle from. talk about lack of service after the sale!!! they has it! i sat around their office for SIX HOURS on Black Friday while they "fixed" the heat and heated leather seats so we could finalize the deal on purchasing the vehicle. was guaranteed that they fixed everything.. so i signed and gave them a check. only to go out and find that they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fix either problem. was informed that they had to order a part to fix the heated leather seat so they will fix both things when that part arrived. to make things convenient for me, we would go on a saturday, so i didn't have to miss work or school. they would call to let me know when part arrived, as i am 4.5 hrs away from the dealership, so i don't waste a trip down and the part now be at the shop yet. well, it's been a week and i hadn't gotten a call, so i called today since no one called me.. and the part is there. but they can't do it on saturday, because they are booked up. WTF??? i am supposed to be on that schedule that booked them up!!! but because "sales" promised me and not "service", "service" doesn't have the time to fix my vehicle, even tho "service" is the one that was supposed to call and let me know the part was in... but "service" left that for "sales" to do, so "service" is supposedly not at fault for "sales" not calling me back.
much longer story cut to just long: DON'T EVER BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP!!! they totally lack customer service once they have their check. and they are JERKS!
and i still have to miss work and school to bring the vehicle down to get fixed... there i go, driving for 9+ hrs in one day to sit in their offices for god knows how long. AGAIN.
r u available to accompany me on Monday when i go to have my heat "fixed" again? :D
i mean, if they couldn't fix it in 6 hrs the first day, i wonder what's gonna change to make them be able to fix it another day. incompetent bass turds.
I could go with you and make sure that they knew it was in their best interest to help you out... and I promise that I won't break anyone or set them on fire or even make a sad face while doing it.
I'm coming! I'm coming! I ready to chew some ear off Tyson style!!!!! We'll show up with some burning torches and pitchforks!!!!! (You don't live near San Jose do you? If you do I will really show up and give them a talking too MAMA style!!!!!)
Lol. Brookeeve I must confess, after your raves about TOP a few OTs ago, I finally googled him. And I have to say you have fabulous taste. I might be a little in love myself. Actually that's a lie, I lurve him. So cute. If only he was older.
And I've got more than a few years on him myself. My little sister Lahlita assured me that it was fine to marry him anyway... and since this is True Love age don't mean nothin'! :D
I'm telling you guys, younger men are where it's at! And we're only gonna get older, which means more and more noona-killers. Rejoice! Also, TOP is hot.
dear, i love u for what ur willing to do for me about those JERKS! (but we won't talk about that in order to not incriminate ourselves) but i do have to let you know that my twin, lovenyc52, has claimed TOP since OT83 (or was it 85) so he is no longer up for grabs. just letting you know she'll fight til death for him. or timeshare, which ever gets more TOP for her. LOL.
omg total complete nosebleed. I'm going to need a billion of those humidifiers! Sigh. Since I'm stuck with a puppy named Lee Seung-gi, I don't mind Top coming over once in a while to help me walk him :).
Comcast blows turd but this building is wired for nothing but comcast. No verizon, no Att, no Optimum, no anything. And they like charging me 200$ for basic cable +internet. Their defense? Recession and Inflation. =.=
@lb_tmi- its okay that she thinks that TOP is hers. I understand that a lot of women are delusional about such things. I'm completely cool with it. She doesn't even have to admit that TOP is mine, 'cause she can be happy in her little reality where ever she is.
Oh Boy!! Someone has already claimed TOP from Brookeeve?! This is going to be so so epic, as in Ragnarok and Wagner epic. Since Brookeve loves fire, I guess your twin have to be one of the frost giants? Yeah.... I am going to go get my survival kit and my nuclear shelter ready. :)
Don't worry ladies. Brookeeve has the HAMMER system in place to protect her beloved TOP. Plus TOP is a very duty-full husband. He would never cheat on his beloved Brookeve. Let some hussy try to steal him!!!! Don't worry your family has your back!!!! Warning!!!! All bystanders please evacuate to your prospective FALLOUT shelters ASAP!!!!!!
hehe thank you Viola!!hugs~~ I made sure to wear my headband,grabbed my crystals and tucked a pic of Yong Ha in my pocket kekeke to power me up!
It went ok I guess..ah well these confrontations are awkward but it had to be done! I never usually stand up for myself(tragically) but hahah I guess its like my new sort of resolution or thing I want to change about myself so I went for it!
You can use Aegisub (free download), loading the subtitle, the video & the audio from the video file into the program, then using the "shift time" option under the timing tab. It is pretty easy if there is just a consistent short lag, somewhat more time consuming if the lags are intermittent.
The only thing I can figure out is the ending was left open for perhaps a future second season. (Didn't the main actor recently go into the army?) Therefore the writers didn't want to tie things up neatly - darn them! - so they could come out with 12 more episodes to explain what the heck happened.
Hi there, I know you have heard it before, hundred or thousand times perhaps.... that you both are sooooo
A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
It maybe your passion doing your craft, but being appreciated is a bonus, right? yey! Guess what, I am officially a Fan of yours. (I must be hearing things , did i just hear lots of clapping somewhere? :) ) Supporters? Count me in guys .^-^
This site is soooo addictive. REALLY. (okay, enough of this. I don't wanna overdo it. hehe, but really.... genuinely like you guys.)
@Charlene You haven't gone overboard, friend. It is right to give the goddesses thanks and praise. Even when I'm not actively watching a K-drama, I come around every now and then just to bask in the awesomesauce. Once I went so far as to offer Girlfriday my first-born child, and I asked her to let me know where she'd be later, because I wanted to worship the ground she was going to walk on before she even walked on it. :-) They keep it fun.
I'm going Wednesday! I'm so excited! One of my non-KDrama friends called me and said she was interested in being initiated with this particular movie, so I'm sooooo excited it hurts!
On the topic of movies, I just watched ESP Couple (aka Sensitive Couple) and loved it. Highly recommended. Nice blend of sweet and sad, but not a tearjerker.
btw: Will Dae Mul be getting a recap? just wonderin'. Not because it have some politics issues. right?... eeer maybe? Anyway, just the same, hopeful :) On the second thought, is it because the drama is nearing its end?
happy friday everyone! and happy birthday to all the december-born people.
just wanted to share the dream I had last night, which was essentially Yoo Ah-In exploring the forests of South America. Lush rainforests, huge, gorgeous waterfalls, raging rivers, and the hotness that is Guh-ro makes for awesome scenery :) Unfortunately I wasn't with him - it played out more like I was watching a documentary or TV special. I could totally see him as the lone explorer type, though. *sigh it was particularly hard getting up this morning - I didn't want the dream to end!
Weird I just dreamed about Joong Ki two days ago, since he is like everywhere doing some endorsements.
Can we say the feeling of not enough sleep caused by dreaming Guroh & Yeorim is the side effect of too much Vitamin Y and vitamin M? If there some antidotes for vitamin Y and vitamin M over dose, I would like to buy some, you know it is good to have prevention action cause I can not get enough of vitamin M, wee....
park shi hoo
you're so fine
please be mine
shi hoo! shi hoo!
---
i have fallen completley in love with park shi hoo watching him in qor. that also got me marathoning prosecutor princess (which i thought i would never, ever watch after the dreadful 1st ep) and now i have three more eps left and im hook, line and sunk...damn it, i should have spent a longer time to watch this!
sigh...park shi hoo is such a talented man. we need more men like him in the world.
----
and, im so disappointed in daemul at the mo. i've just finished ep 9,and its leaving me cold, not giving the same excited feeling as queen seon duk. please tell me this drama gets better!
To all my Dramabeans friends, i'm just having these wild imaginations ..... thinking, what will be the DB's holiday features for all the readers/followers. I'm guesing...
Would it be an interview with a big Kdrama/KPop star?
A big treat recap for a highly requested Kdrama series or movie perhaps?...hmmm, what else?
Any guess? what do you think?
Happy Friday to everyone... how´s your weather? In my country it´s about -12°C, soon i´m gonna change myself into icicle. But hey, what´s sweeter than cozy warm room with my favourite dramas while outside are all devils marrying? :)
It's 58 degrees Fahrenheit over here... which I guess is 14.44 Centigrade, according to Google. It might rain tomorrow.
It won't get cold here until next month, and then it'll quit being cold two and a half months after that. Watching dramas kind of makes it colder, 'cause I feel the need to wrap up in a big old scarf and a floppy hat after watching Mary Stayed Out All Night.
....from where i'm situated right now,it's cold, but no signs of now yet. (satisfied.)
Downfall? .. one of my computer's motherboard crashed down. Meaning... i need to run to a Best Buy or HHgreg for a new toy ( cry)
....that delays my Kdrama marathon.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a VERRRRRRRY tipsy Diadda!!!!
We all love you!!!! Sending you over another bottle of soju. ( you need some excuse for your Princess Carry) :D
Did you see your presents on FB? Pokemon cupcakes, Daesung with flowers and Daesung carrying presents (he doesn't know that HE is the present. heehee ;) )
So I'm enjoying my sick day by watching SG 5. Don't remember reading this in the recap. This is right before they begin the bike ride.
Ra Im: Are you tellin me not to come out?
Jo Woon: I'm worried about you , can you really do it?
Ra Im: If I say I can't will you give me a piggy back ride?
Jo Woon: I'll carry you in my arms so that I can see your face.
Sinterklaas is downstairs o-o (not the same as santa claus btw) with zwarte pieten D: omg i was afraid to go downstairs, but i still went and ;_; theyre not nice i didnt know what to say it was so awkward ;_;
I found the Venn Diagram listed in the article http://mashable.com/2009/09/07/nerd-venn-diagram/ to be very helpful with the classification. We are all definitely Geeks, but I'm not sure how socially inept anyone is...
Depending on who the company is, I'll probably be all tong tied or will hyperventilate, if I ever run into any of my Drama heroes in real life. As long as I don't turn into that fan that kept yelling OPPA at the top of her lungs. Otherwise I can talk to about anyone. I've been known to strike up conversations with complete strangers :D
who else can't wait to watch episode 7 of secret garden?!!!!!!
omo!!!!!! the teasers left me o_0, this drama has great actors, a storyline that can be played around with in so many ways, it's going to be EPIC!!!!!!!
I can't wait!!! I totally love this drama. I'm usually so far behind everyone because i have to wait for subtitles, but they are coming out so fast! Love the subbing team at Viikii for that!!
I am looking forward to a marathon view of SG. looks like fun.
So far I have found MSOAN to be a little disappointing. The
infantilization of grown women to the point of being shocked
at a kiss has really gotten old in Kdramaland for me. The cliches are all there but the actors are in a tunnel looking for the light......... and the fun. if it were not for the cast I would not have bothered.
I was just wondering how easy it is to find certain k-dramas on dvd? I've been trying to find Dal Ja's Spring on dvd.
Is it simply popularity that determines dvd releases? I noticed that My Lovely Samsoon and City Hall have been released to dvd. Also they have English subtitles, which I would need....
I hope Secret Garden has a release with English subtitles. Especially, if it continues to be this strong throughout the series.
Anyone like to watch dramas stoned because I have something I'd like to ask.
When you watch dramas (stoned) do you tend to focus more on how people look, the way their lips move...their facial expressions and body language in general than what they are actually saying?
Because I've realized several things because of the way I tend to watch dramas
1. They wear A LOT OF MAKE UP
2. Some people are just so beautiful
3. Does everyone wear contacts or have something that makes their eyes look...sort of watery?!?!
Can't say I've watched a kdrama while stoned, but I was drunk once and listening to Ol' Dirty Bastard and thinking "Yeah, I get it now! This fantastic!"
Dude, it's been years since I've chiefed, but I'll say this:
I've noticed everything that you have noticed while I was sober. Yeah, they do have weirdo contacts, yes they are amazingly pretty, and if make-up were a continent they would have already planted their flag and written their constitution.
I was told once by a wise old English man concerning taste;
“In matters of taste personal preference is paramount”! I dare to ask what he meant by that, and he responded by saying; “Have you ever drank a glass of wine that cost £100. a bottle? Only to tell yourself that that's the worst tasting wine that you have ever drank in your life, only to drink a glass of wine from a £5. bottle of wine to discovered that that's probably the best tasting wine you have ever drank!
I think 2009/2010 has been a good year for K-Dramas but along with the “Good” dramas we have the ones that totally “Fail drastically”.
I was checking the episode ratings for the drama “Take Care of the Young Lady”, a drama that IMHO was “Great” since
Yoon Eun Hye is my “Favorite Korean actress”, most critics claim that this has been her worst piece of work and she was criticize all trough the run of the drama, granted not her best work but better than most IMHO!
“Take Care of the Young Lady” TNS Ratings:
Average: 15.5%
Top : 19.0
Lowest: 13.6
“My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox” TNS Ratings:
Average: 14.6%
Top: 21.3
Lowest: 10.7
I think if we look at the numbers alone I can say with all the “Pride” in the world that even when “My Fair Lady” was not Yoon Eun Hye's best drama she still beat all this other dramas in “Ratings” alone, but if we apply the above wine example than we know why “Playful Kiss” have thousands of followers in cyberspace while their ratings where abysmal!!!
I loved Take Care Of The Young Lady!!!!! Everyone is talking about OSKA in Secret Garden, but I thought his acting as the Butler was fabulous. I really liked his character. Eun Hye was also a great spoiled Miss :D
I was hoping someone would be so kind as to provide me links with their favorite photo spreads of:
Song Joong Ki
Yoo Ah In
and
Lee Hong Ki (Can I call dibs on him for today?)
I put up a pretty good link up there for your Vitamin Y (Yoo Ah In). I don't know that anyone has claimed Lee Hong Ki (have they? he's awfully cute!) so you might have a permanent claim on him anyway... not just for today. Good luck!
erm... u know how addicted i am when it's almost midnight, i'm having exams on the 8th and 14th of december, but i am still surfing dramabeans and reading all the replies on open thread!!! and checking every hour for MSOAN ep 7 subtitles!
i suppose when one is procrastinating, every drama looks freaking good!! i must say that MSOAN story line was getting disappointing but the angst was upped in ep7 and i so want to watch it instead of studying :P so is ep7 really good? or am i imagining it so that i don't have to study? ha.
i wonder if i will slave over studying or slave over kdrama this weekend :P
december is suppose to be a good month, birthday (happy birthday december babies!) & christmas but no.... i had to voluntarily go and take professional exams. and this paper that i am taking on the 8th is really giving me nightmares. i think i might just go and fail it.
at this point of time, i really just want the exams to be over so that i can enjoy december. i'll spent my birthday and christmas in the states! my hubby better give me 2 presents (hee he knows better).

@ Tangled Aw, that's crap. I was supposed to be born on July 4th (U.S. Independence Day for any non-US people here), which would have meant having my birthday on America's Most Important National Holiday. Every year. Forever. Fug that noise! I came nearly a week early. I was NOT sharing my birthday. Luckily 4th of July isn't a season (unlike Christmas), so it doesn't interfere with the celebration of me. Woot!

I'm gonna come off sounding selfish but no way could I have handled sacrificing my birthday to attend to all the traditional new year stuff. Aren't birthdays the one day you can afford to be a little me-focused?

Warning: Rant!
Why are people so mean sometimes? Yesterday, this woman came to the computer lab, and started complaining about three people who were working on a project a table away. Apparently their very very low whispering was bothering her. I asked them to please be even quieter, and they very nicely moved three tables away. A few minutes later they actually left the lab, but before they left they said bye to their friends and actually got audible! gasp!
So the woman started berating me about how I wasn't doing my job in keeping people, and she was going to do something about the noise, e.t.c. Lady, the already left! I smiled politely and didn't think much of it.
A few hours later, when I was closing the lab, she started again about how, working in the lab isn't that hard, and if I couldn't do such an easy job maybe it isn't the job for me and that I should be fired. She used such incredibly venomous tones, and she looked so mad that she was practically spitting out the words.
This isn't even the first time she did this. During the summer she yelled at me for five minutes straight, about how I am incompetent, and a disgrace and how I should be fired! Because get this, I laughed with a patron while helping her! She has such a cutting, poisonous tone that it just shriveled me up inside. I cried.
I am friends with all the regular patrons and some even tell me they come to the lab only when I am working. I try so hard to be helpful and nice to everyone. Heck , I even helped her several times with the most basic of computer tasks that even my computer illiterate mother (not lessaofpern) can do! I was extremely patient and polite too I might add.
So, because of this I ended up staying later to close, missed the early train, waited for the bus in 30 degree windy weather for 40 minutes, gave up and walked through deserted streets and finally got home at 12:45 a.m. :(
Phew, I am all better after the rant!! The unicorns roses and sunshine are back! Tra la la Tra lala *skips down to la la land* :)

You call me next time and I'll let 'em know just how far they can take that stick that's shoved... okay, I can't say that in front of my little sister.
I'll tell them to go buy some ice cream and have a nice day. Then I'd teleport myself up to that computer library, make you go outside, and physically adjust her attitude.

All jokes aside *hugs* people like that get me hopping mad. You are such a sweet and RESPECTFUL person. Unfortunately there are a lot of crabby people out there, who aways seem to have their knickers in a twist. They just like to make other people's life miserable because they are not happy themselves. Don't worry, your Supervisor and the other patrons appreciate you :D You also know we all love you to bits, so keep on smiling :D *POOH BEAR HUG*

Viola-yah, you've miscalculated. My lust surpasses my pride. Therefore, I will wear my Ahjumma moniker with honor and invoke the right of the elder. Flick away from my Siwon, you dongsaeng, you!
Lessaofpern Mata-ji, you are a good mother, but you can never shield her from the WRATH THAT IS LAHLITA PROVOKED. This is the next step in our epic saga. Now the two sisters must turn against each other, and dis ahjumma is about to be evil.
But before the evil begins...hugs! I'm sorry about that library patroness. Stupid ingrate wench. Don't let her get to you. You're absolutely wonderful, and it's not your fault she was like that. She's unhappy, and unhappy people take no joy in life. Reaffirm to yourself that you are beautiful and loved, and just continue to live your life.
OK, back to the evil: Viola-yah, if you EVER stick your tongue out at me again, I will relieve you of it! You will never merong again.

So it begins! The epic saga of two sister divided by the love of one man. Cue O'Fortuna! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP_CSQgBPpQ
Dr Fatimus Act V Scene 1 *looks at a picture of Siwon.*
Was his the face that launched a thousand ships
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Siwon, make me immortal with a kiss.
……
I will be Paris, and for love of thee,
Instead of Troy, shall Dramaland be sacked;
And I will combat with weak Lahlita,
And wear thy colors on my plumed crest.
……..
For, thou art fairer than the evening air
Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars;
More lovely than the monarch of the sky
And none but thou shalt be my paramour!
Yes, I just compared Siwon to Helen of Troy. :p
*wears a flowing white dress* *Arms held open*
I have implored you, Lahlita my fair sister, to give up your false claims on my rightful husband. But, you, burning in the fires unholy lust have stopped you ears against reason - only the mad light of greed and desire now burn in your once gentle eyes. *tears*
*bows head in sorrow* Since you would not accept the love that exist between Siwon and I, then let there be War between you and I!
*A single perfect tear rolls down face*

Thou mayst orate from dawn till dusk, indulging in hollow speeches writ for thee by Kit Marlowe, untalented knave. Thou mayst weep thine cinematic tears, but still, thou art ever outmatched. Verily, shall I do epic shit to thee! Siwon loves thee not. He knowest thee not. He cares naught for thee.
Now, Viola, take thine claim back again,
That late thou made to me;
for all who go against me doth fall; their souls
Are but a little way above our heads,
Staying for thine to keep them company:
Either thou, or I, or both, must go with them.
*Unsheathes longsword*

Yeppeo-goon is 6'1"? He was just 5'11" a few months ago! Unbelievable. Shopping for him must be frustrating. When my cousin was 14 he went from 5'9" to 6'5" in a little over a year. His bones were growing so fast that the doctor had to put him on pain medication. My baby spent that entire year in a medicated haze. But he has been at 6'6" for four years now so we think he's done, thank God.
I'm curious about the anti-gravity science project. How are they illustrating gravity defiance? They do sound like total nerds, which is adorable!

I never have to shop, boy has eight grandparents who're all sending all sorts of clothing for him once I complained about keeping him in clothing that covers his ankles. I love family.
They're working with this T. Townsend Brown thing called a Lifter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bicra-36fBo&feature=related and people are arguing if it is really anti-gravity or what. I call it anti-gravity 'cause I don't care what it actually is, it just looks cool. I'll see if we can't film it and upload it when he's finished.

Good luck dealing with British Gas. They never show up on time. The part about the snow, some of my family lives in Manchester and when it snows a little bit, they say the roads become awful.

Maybe you can rig a set-up like MG in MSOAN - now THAT would grant some major kdrama addict cred. I swear, every time they run a scene at his place I mostly focus on the heater set-up. I keep trying to figure out the venting - I'm pretty sure its too long a run for the diameter of the vent, but oh well - its just a drama.

...i'd watch the sunset and have dinner at "my friends" beachside house. she's a writer and he's an actor (who just made his comeback! haha)
...check out the curriculum and grounds of shinhwa university, maybe look at some scholarship possibilities :P
...go catch a A.N.Jell concert with the buds after dark. i heard their singer is awesome. like that guy who sings Oh my bus at hongdae
...drink some soju and eat sam gyup sal at the nearest pojongmacha

HAHAHA! Almost like the year when I decided to hold an NCIS marathon (after all my finals were done with), beginning from the episode Ziva first appeared. Non-stop watching to the point where I forget about food. XD
But, I wanted to ask if "Beaners" is what we're called now. I mean, I've been going with Dramabeanians, until I saw a post where it said "OTers" or "Open Threaders" (of course, that's for those that come to OT on Friday). Has there been a consensus yet on what we're called? (What? I love nicknames. They're cool. Like TMNT. NCIS. PigRabbit. Eh teh cah.) With Secret Garden on, I'm tempted to call everyone Beanies, in honor of Binnie! XD

I sat straight up in bed, awakened by the sound of beads hitting the floor.
When I looked to the source of the sound, I saw the Gu Yong-ha, hatless.
“But how? How are you here?" I asked, "We are continents and centuries apart.”
“It’s easy in my time machine,” he replied, “ I pressed the red button, and then, the blue button, and it brought us to you.”
“Us? What do you mean?”
I fainted as Moon Jae-shin stepped into the light.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! :)
I have one more thing to add to Theasianstalker's wonderful "You are a K-drama addict."
*You know you are a K-drama addict if you freak out when your friend says she had a nosebleed. :(
Yesterday, I ran into my classmate in the bathroom, and I asked her why she was so late to class.
Friend: "I had a nosebleed for the past twenty minutes"
Me: " OMG!!!!! Why didn't you tell me you were sick?!! Are you okay?! Omg omg omg!"
Friend: 0_0 it's just a nosebleed.......
Me: *stops hyperventilating* .... You are sooo lucky you don't live in K dramaland!!
My brain had automatically went to nosebleed= cancer mode. I was totally freaked out, especially since I had just watched an episode of Snow Queen. Well, after about 10 seconds of defcon 5, my brain finally remembered that the dry air of winter causes nosebleeds and in the real world it's not a symptom of every single deadly disease!

LOL Out of the blue last month I got a nosebleed. It kind of freaked me out too. Then I thought, what might have triggered it? Before I would have thought I had some thing too HOT ( in my culture, we believe that food has both HOT and COLD properties). After watching tons of Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese dramas, and reading Mangas, I have a different take on nosebleeds now. I was thinking OMG are there H thoughts running through my mind? Oh No, Oh No!!!! Then I remembered I had just watched a Badgirl MV!!!!!! You Badgirl Diadda !!!! <3

How characters in K drama always get cold after caught in the rain always make me "are you kidding me?" or "no don't say you will faint caused of cold after this". But not after I experienced it my own in few days back, 2 times I caught in rain, 2 times I got cold after it.
This fact made me LOL through my high fever and dizziness and I think I guess I'm living in K drama land now. And half doubt my self : what if my sickness is only some process of internalization of k drama? ha, ha, ha "K drama what have you done to me??"

Happy Friday Dramabeanians!!! XD Or should I be saying "Open Threaders"? A shout out to all Running Man fans. I'm really loving how the show is picking up momentum. I hope it has a longer run than the flop that was FO2. Does anyone else love how Gwang Soo was on a role in episode 14? I can't wait to watch the episode on the cruise line. I know I'm behind, but I wait patiently for the subs (the subber group of which, by the way, have been picking up speed like crazy lately). So, Merry Weekend to all and to all a good cheer. And to my fellow "stuck in school" mates, good luck with Finals and Dead Week (what my school calls the week before finals... and when Professors literally try to kill students. I have 3 20+ page papers due the same day, plus 4 presentations that same week. EEK!).

Hi Sumee! :D
sorry for the very late reply. I was feeling very tired yesterday and could only drop by and leave a couple of posts before catching up with sleep and rest. workday was so eventful yesterday at it was an insane tug-o-war between good and bad things happening one after the other.
speaking of insane... :)
LOL! this loony-noona couldn't help but giggle at the sight of the astonished crazy horse. :D gosh! it's been only a few days but I felt like I missed the Moon so much! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this one. not posh, but definitely LOVELY! ;) here we see a different side of him.
well... in the true sense of being a Moony-loony-noona, I scanned the entire photo and observed two things:
(1) i love the silver thumb ring. :) it doesn't jive much with his getup but it's a tiny statement that says: "Bad Boy on board." :)
(2) considering that k-fashion is going all mighty-tighty, why is he wearing loose clothes? esp. the pants. the waist part is sagging and it looks like the trousers are gonna fall - not that I really mind! :D I have the urge to give him a belt, and Imma be the one to put it on him. nyahahahaha!!! :D (fighting off guilt for the Moony looks bloody young in the pic.)

I can relate Semigemi. Only, for a slight difference. My finals are supposed to end on the 17th, but since I only have papers, I'm cramming to get them finished by the 10th so I don't have to stay an extra week. As much as I love college and being free from my parents, the people in my dorm tend to get annoying after awhile.
But it also works out because Athena starts airing a few days after I move back home.
Good luck on finals!

My second year of undergrad I got an old apartment with my then-best friend. She and I were totally thrilled that our upstairs neighbors were hot guys who preferred to walk around without their shirts on in the hot Memphis weather. One night, I heard some weird sounds coming from the bedroom above me, and my first assumption was that the guys had put a trampoline in that room. I pulled my roommate in to listen with me, and then we heard... some other noises. We figured out that it was not a trampoline. I had problems looking at the guy for about a week afterward, especially because my roommate felt the need to tell him about my thoughts on the trampoline.

OMG, Secret Garden! So wonderful. I was just imagining last night while watching it, how it would be if Jang Hyuk remained the Joo Won rather than Hyun Bin. HB is just so fantastic, I just can't see it. Also because Jang Hyuk is so much more masculine than HB is, I don't know if it wouldn't fit right or if it would just be even more funny to see the body switch. Can ya'll imagine? Either way, I'm absolutely loving Binnie in this. I think he's so perfect as Joo Won/Ra Him, it may have all been for the best. =)

Happy Friday Everyone!
I only have a week left of this semester (technically two, but I don't need to be around for finals week). But that week will be filled with:
2 6-8pg papers. One analyzing Margaret Atwood's written voice. The other an introduction to an anthology on plays having to do with the American Dream (using three plays we read for class).
1 3-5pg paper analyzing a social movement (I'm thinking I'll write about the women's suffrage movement here in the USA).
1 Portfolio including a 2-4pg cover letter and the final drafts to all papers from the class.
1 Instruction set (for a business communications class) explaining how to put together a lego creation. <--best assignment ever. I mean come on, any class where you get to play with legos for the entire class period is pretty cool.
But I have until the 10th to finish it all. Ugh. Being an English major has it's downsides in all this work, just because I want to work in publishing.
I'm catching up on all the dramas I neglected this past week and trying not to cringe at the amount I'll have to catch up on next week cause there's more than I thought...

just had myself a confrontation with a bunch of JERKS at the car dealership i just bought a vehicle from. talk about lack of service after the sale!!! they has it! i sat around their office for SIX HOURS on Black Friday while they "fixed" the heat and heated leather seats so we could finalize the deal on purchasing the vehicle. was guaranteed that they fixed everything.. so i signed and gave them a check. only to go out and find that they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to fix either problem. was informed that they had to order a part to fix the heated leather seat so they will fix both things when that part arrived. to make things convenient for me, we would go on a saturday, so i didn't have to miss work or school. they would call to let me know when part arrived, as i am 4.5 hrs away from the dealership, so i don't waste a trip down and the part now be at the shop yet. well, it's been a week and i hadn't gotten a call, so i called today since no one called me.. and the part is there. but they can't do it on saturday, because they are booked up. WTF??? i am supposed to be on that schedule that booked them up!!! but because "sales" promised me and not "service", "service" doesn't have the time to fix my vehicle, even tho "service" is the one that was supposed to call and let me know the part was in... but "service" left that for "sales" to do, so "service" is supposedly not at fault for "sales" not calling me back.
much longer story cut to just long: DON'T EVER BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP!!! they totally lack customer service once they have their check. and they are JERKS!
and i still have to miss work and school to bring the vehicle down to get fixed... there i go, driving for 9+ hrs in one day to sit in their offices for god knows how long. AGAIN.

December 3, 2010 at 11:03 AM
You can use Aegisub (free download), loading the subtitle, the video & the audio from the video file into the program, then using the "shift time" option under the timing tab. It is pretty easy if there is just a consistent short lag, somewhat more time consuming if the lags are intermittent.

The only thing I can figure out is the ending was left open for perhaps a future second season. (Didn't the main actor recently go into the army?) Therefore the writers didn't want to tie things up neatly - darn them! - so they could come out with 12 more episodes to explain what the heck happened.

Lush rainforests, huge, gorgeous waterfalls, raging rivers, and the hotness that is Guh-ro makes for awesome scenery :) Unfortunately I wasn't with him - it played out more like I was watching a documentary or TV special. I could totally see him as the lone explorer type, though. *sigh it was particularly hard getting up this morning - I didn't want the dream to end!

So far I have found MSOAN to be a little disappointing. The
infantilization of grown women to the point of being shocked
at a kiss has really gotten old in Kdramaland for me. The cliches are all there but the actors are in a tunnel looking for the light......... and the fun. if it were not for the cast I would not have bothered.

Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering how easy it is to find certain k-dramas on dvd? I've been trying to find Dal Ja's Spring on dvd.
Is it simply popularity that determines dvd releases? I noticed that My Lovely Samsoon and City Hall have been released to dvd. Also they have English subtitles, which I would need....
I hope Secret Garden has a release with English subtitles. Especially, if it continues to be this strong throughout the series.
Have a Great Weekend!

Anyone like to watch dramas stoned because I have something I'd like to ask.
When you watch dramas (stoned) do you tend to focus more on how people look, the way their lips move...their facial expressions and body language in general than what they are actually saying?
Because I've realized several things because of the way I tend to watch dramas
1. They wear A LOT OF MAKE UP
2. Some people are just so beautiful
3. Does everyone wear contacts or have something that makes their eyes look...sort of watery?!?!

*Ratings v.s. Personal Taste*
I was told once by a wise old English man concerning taste;
“In matters of taste personal preference is paramount”! I dare to ask what he meant by that, and he responded by saying; “Have you ever drank a glass of wine that cost £100. a bottle? Only to tell yourself that that's the worst tasting wine that you have ever drank in your life, only to drink a glass of wine from a £5. bottle of wine to discovered that that's probably the best tasting wine you have ever drank!
I think 2009/2010 has been a good year for K-Dramas but along with the “Good” dramas we have the ones that totally “Fail drastically”.
I was checking the episode ratings for the drama “Take Care of the Young Lady”, a drama that IMHO was “Great” since
Yoon Eun Hye is my “Favorite Korean actress”, most critics claim that this has been her worst piece of work and she was criticize all trough the run of the drama, granted not her best work but better than most IMHO!
“Take Care of the Young Lady” TNS Ratings:
Average: 15.5%
Top : 19.0
Lowest: 13.6
“Sungkyunkwan Scandal” TNS Ratings:
Average: 10.1%
Top: 13.7
Lowest: 7.2
“Pasta” TNS Ratings:
Average: 15.2%
Top: 21.5
Lowest: 11.9
“Playful Kiss” TNS Ratings:
Average: 4.9%
Top: 8.2
Lowest: 3.0
“My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox” TNS Ratings:
Average: 14.6%
Top: 21.3
Lowest: 10.7
I think if we look at the numbers alone I can say with all the “Pride” in the world that even when “My Fair Lady” was not Yoon Eun Hye's best drama she still beat all this other dramas in “Ratings” alone, but if we apply the above wine example than we know why “Playful Kiss” have thousands of followers in cyberspace while their ratings where abysmal!!!

I loved Take Care Of The Young Lady!!!!! Everyone is talking about OSKA in Secret Garden, but I thought his acting as the Butler was fabulous. I really liked his character. Eun Hye was also a great spoiled Miss :D

Song Joong Ki
Yoo Ah In
and

Also, Secret Garden !Fighting!

I put up a pretty good link up there for your Vitamin Y (Yoo Ah In). I don't know that anyone has claimed Lee Hong Ki (have they? he's awfully cute!) so you might have a permanent claim on him anyway... not just for today. Good luck!

HAPPY FRIDAY!
erm... u know how addicted i am when it's almost midnight, i'm having exams on the 8th and 14th of december, but i am still surfing dramabeans and reading all the replies on open thread!!! and checking every hour for MSOAN ep 7 subtitles!
i suppose when one is procrastinating, every drama looks freaking good!! i must say that MSOAN story line was getting disappointing but the angst was upped in ep7 and i so want to watch it instead of studying :P so is ep7 really good? or am i imagining it so that i don't have to study? ha.
i wonder if i will slave over studying or slave over kdrama this weekend :P
december is suppose to be a good month, birthday (happy birthday december babies!) & christmas but no.... i had to voluntarily go and take professional exams. and this paper that i am taking on the 8th is really giving me nightmares. i think i might just go and fail it.
at this point of time, i really just want the exams to be over so that i can enjoy december. i'll spent my birthday and christmas in the states! my hubby better give me 2 presents (hee he knows better).
