My friend djes asked me to jump ahead so here I am. She was getting sick and on wits ends getting constant comments from me about Yang Kang. I mean Yuen Hong. I mean Yang Kang. Anyway, so she asked me to get lost and put my comments here instead. What can I say, she doesn't share the same passion as me. She prefers her boys youngER with six abs.

I started watching LOCH simply because I love this series (story line) more than any other wuxia stories. This is my favourite and I've watched all the series ever made and read the novel (translation - cos I suck at Chinese). I'm a couple of years late but I only managed to get my hands on them now. With djes' help, I must add.

Coming on to the series, I knew I was going to worship Hu Ge. I still do that, but since the first pedicure incident, I started to put my foot on Yang Kang's ship. Now I'm on episode 18 and I don't look back. Both feet are firmly planted on Yang Kang's ship. I still love the chemistry between Huang Rong and Guo Jing, but Yang Kang rocks my socks.

Yuan Hong managed to portray a brooding, intense, charming, playful (doesn't that remind me of Edward Cullen, my other obsession!), and of course utterly handsome Yang Kang. Did I mention intense? And charming? Ohhh.. I never liked Mu Nianci's character before this, because I thought her character is very weak. Had she been strong like Huang Rong, she could make Yang Kang (who's really just a good, loyal kid) stay in the good path. However, while watching this current series, I can't help but feeling jealous of her. With that Yang Kang, I will call myself Mu Nianci anyday.

Yuan Hong is the best Yang Kang! This series strays away from the novel in so many details, but instead of feeling annoyed, I found myself enjoying the new details.

Anyone else has watched the series? Or is watching it right now? Or sharing my shameless obsession with this new Yang Kang?

@ yen_nguyen

thanks! I have an Ethan already.. and my friend's daughter is named Jocelyn. not twins, that i know of. i don't think that i wanna know beforehand the sex of the baby, so i want to have both a girl and boy's name picked out. i wanna be prepared, yet surprised.

@ kappaieru

santa claus was visiting in august, that's all. lol.

yes i'm the one who 'drag' Monica here...
I think she'll meet other Yuan Hong lovers here, because yes, she literally writes comment about every move Yang Kang does in the series.. " Aww he's so handsome" "I really envy Nian CI"
OK I get it Monica, I won't touch Yuan Hong. :P

We enjoy LOCH, and I really happy to watch together like this. Last time we did crazy chats like this was when we were watching It Started with A Kiss.

Anyway, I'm excited with My Girlfriend is Gumiho! The trailers are very interesting.
I'm contemplating whether should I download I am Legend or not, javabeans' first impression made me interested, but I guess I'll wait for few more episodes before I make decision.

Happy Friday!!!!

@ twin
hehe now the WORLD knows. well, the DB/OT world, the only one that matters? I actually like Jaxon and Elayna. So you're gonna switch it up this time huh? OMG please have twins and it'll be like SURPRISE!!! Hope you're feeling better these days... If not, just check shizz's site and it's sure to bring a smile to your face :D

Totally excited about MGiaG - the posters look super duper fun.

Totally dying cuz I'm all caught up on HnH2 and all I want is to watch more. Ahomiya and Buchou are too freakin adorable together... and yet I'm having 2nd male lead syndrome.... but can you blame me? Mukai is just so delish. He's very "Sho" in this... with slightly better clothing hehe. I actually went back to the HYD Movie cuz I read that Buchou was in it... I remember watching the movie the first time and thinking the guy was really hot but had no idea who he was... and now I know... and now I lust. <3

Hi y'all!

I so love Friday nights...

Just started reading recaps of IAL (I am Legend), and I found it quite upbeat, even tho I pity Seol-hee for her lifetime (or will it be?) predicament of a bitchy mother-in-law, a no-good husband whose qualities of cheating, coldness, & inability to even show a little intimacy with his wife can drive even the most cruelest persons to laugh and boast a little of himself...

Just waiting for GG (Gumiho Girlfriend), SS (Seonggyungwan Scandal), & (a little of) PK (Playful Kiss) to even start and get rolling...

I'm content...

And...

OMG!!! "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL" IS FINALLY GONNA BE SHOWN IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

A.N.JELL PHILIPPINES, LET'S UNITE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so unhappy with Bad Guy's ending last night, I feel the need to curse at the writer. Few days ago I posted a wild prediction of what I think will happen in soompi, never thought my wild guess was EXACTLY what the bad writer had in mind. it has been a day now and I am still really mad.

Gosh, I love this song. Is it by the same 'Stars' who sang Calendar Girl?

@2 lb_tmi

Depends on what you want , something that's romantic or something that fits the times? Also, a lot of names have religious connotations whether it's Celtic or Christian or Jewish or something else.

Before Twilight, I actually really liked the name Edward. After Twilight became popular, everyone was rushing to name their kids Edward or Eddie or Ed-something. Too common now.

Used to think up dream names for kids and then worry about the nicknames they'll get and then I'd choose the one that seemed safest. Or you could come up with a name yourself. Everyone's giving their kids unconventional names nowadays.

I like Elijah or Eli too.

Names that start with E.

Eamon
Emerson.
Evan
Ethan
Edmund (protector)
Edwin
Edvard/Edward
Edrian

Or if you change your mind and use E for the girl.

Eden
Emmeline.
Emma
Esther
Estelle
Eleanore (so romantic)
Elizabeth

Names starting with J

Boys

James
Jason (really common)
Jeremy (also really common, I know about 10 Jeremy's, but it's up to you, really)
Joseph
Joel
Jayme
Japheth
Jacques
Jamie
Johanan
Johannes
Jorge
Jose

Girls

January
Jenna
Jace
Janie
Joelle
Jacqueline
Janelle
Jocie
Jamie
Jacinda
Jupiter
Jonquille (it's a flower)
Jasmine
Jennifer
Jael
Joy
Josephine
Jessamyn

There you go. I'm pretty sure there are a million choices out there.

oh, and some adds...

from Wiki, I read that Jay Park would gonna be visit in the Philippines around September.
Omo omo omo omo omo omo!!! I hope I'm not too busy then!!! I wanna be part of the Jaywalkers...ehekhekhekhekhek... :b <- (just as how Nichkhun makes his emoticonnies in his Tweets...)
...oh, and I hope his role in "Secret Garden" pushes thru...Jay's in a good year this year (redundant, ryt?)...

at above statement in bold, I just saw the (teeny-weeny) teaser trailer, and it's renamed "He's Beautiful"...cutie title...FTI (esp. Lee Hong-ki)'s efforts didn't go in vain... :D

@lb_tmi

@12
Oh, so you predicted EXACTLY how it was gonna end? Good for you. Why would the ending piss you off so badly though? I, for one, actually found it...appropriate to say the least. At least he had found peace! And the truth and the real truth for once.

juz bear me for ranting here....hehehe.... :P

okayy, basically blood pressure is rising high now....my stupid broadband goes detected and undetected..... urghhh!!! damn bb!!!

*now dat i dy cool down*

i'm so cannot wait to watch I'm A Legend, Playfull Kiss and My GF is A Gumiho...those are on my list once i go back home (of coz after its premieres on tv not now) hehehe... ;)

i can't stand Bad Guy anymore....pray dat ep 17 comes fast....reading the recaps make me less suffer wif the weird storyline...hahaha....

although Kim Hyun Joong is not so established actor but i'm anticipating PK because of JUNG SO MIN....i think she's going to shot stardom from this drama...take example BOF.... ;)

let's pray PK is not a failure.... Ariel Lin did a good job potraying Ziang Qin's annoying, stubborness, bla...bla...bla... character dat JSM needs to work hard a bit...ganbatte JSM!! hehehe... :)
(btw, i watched the taiwanese version not the original japanese version)

I'm going for my first Korean BBQ next week in Bournemouth :))))))))))) Can you tell a Brit from Blighty what would be the best thing to try? I'm taking my two daughters aged 16 and 13 and we're not used to food being over spicy. We're very excited (well, alright, I'M excited. My girls are used to my Korean obsession now and they're indulging me).

Watching I Am Leg end. Good so far :)

@ 2 lb_tmi

Yay for expecting. Congrats!

@ 13 therainhouse

Tell me about it. I really loved the names Isabel and Alice. . . .but now not so much.

Anyways! I used my Turbo Jam this week and sweated up a storm. So excited and found out who my roommate is today. Haven't found her on facebook though so I'll have to wait before creeping on her profile. =P

I Am Legend had a good start. And I cannot wait for My Girlfriend is a Gumiho!

BTW. Is anyone going to watch Step Up 3D? I'm just kind of turned off that the movie tickets are going to double because of the stupid "3D effect."

Have a great August weekend! <3

For all the 2pm/ Cinderella's Sister fans out there, have you seen the parody 2pm did at their concert? It's not subbed yet, but I think people who watched the show will get the gist, lol. Enjoy!

Congratulations, my dear! I'm assuming that it's you expecting and not some random person we don't know. :-)

@ 20 ladymai

I saw that parody yesterday for the first time and laughed quite a bit. I won't go so far as to say it was better than the actual drama, but it was certainly funnier. I much preferred Chansung's Ki-hoon. But Wooyoung-Hyosun was absolutely the best! :D

@ Girlfriday, wherever thou art

You're recapping Playful Kiss, right? I was wondering if Santa could do a recaplet of each episode of Playful Kiss before the full recap is released, like with what happened for Bad Guy episode 15. Television Without Pity also does this and it has always cracked me up. Maybe not every episode. It could be a surprise every now and then. See, I have a feeling that the combination of Santa's distilled recapping style and mangas and Kim Hyun Joong would be epic, and distilling it to ten lines would be epicker.

There's a first-born in it for you, along with those grapes and the ambrosia.

I don't know why I used "distilled" twice. One would think I'd just learned that word. Anyway, Happy Friday, everyone!

@lb_tim

Congrats!

Some suggestions for names:
Boys- Eric, Elliot, Edison, Emmet, Eren, Jason, Jacob, Jerome
Girls- Eireen, Ella, Elaine, Ellie, Janet, Jean, Jonie, Joanna/e, Joelle, Joy

I need to find a new hobby(baking/cooking is really starting to tire me)...and start writing more prose...and stop thinking and obsessing about what will happen in the future, because we only get to live in NOW.
