Skip beat - LAD ep 3

I'm quite disappointed to be honest, it feels like they totally copy the anime.. but drag out every scene.
I mean fine if it's similar, since it's built on the manga and all... but for me... I rather watch the anime since at least they look to fit their age.
Compare to Hana Kimi and HYD.. they are similar but different which is fine and I loved the dramas. (Japanese version)
And they showed it's possible to change the storyline a bit.. also the Taiwanese dramas are always long aprox 1 h. I think it'd be fine with a 45 min drama.


In this episode Donghae looks younger than Ivy and it's supposed to be the other way around...
I wonder if I will last watching this. Maybe the power of Siwon will help me?

In the 3rd ep it's more of "Kyoko's" audition and start at LME.
She also gets her pink outfit... but it's still quite boring, I hope it will get better in the middle part... from ep 15 smth!

Bad dreams

I wouldn't call them nightmares but bad dreams.. or at least weird.
I went travelling in Japan and forgot my bag on the express train with all my clothes and stuff, for some reason the money was still in it when I finally found it but all my clothes were gone, a sign of that whoever robbed me liked my fashion style? XD

Next dream... I walked somewhere on this road and the rain kept on pouring down and I had no umbrella so guess how soaked I became!? Still no idea where I was or why..

Then another travel, but in Paris? Me and the ones I travelled with got lost in the underground system.. we had no phones to contact each other for some weird reason!?


I have no idea why I had all these bad or weird dreams... and now when I finally is awake I'm tired as a rock!!

Good luck studying today (T_T)

Today's quote

"Life is not just about the grades you get in school, Life is so much more - living the best you can, create your own personality and be around your loved ones... Tomorrow is already waiting for you, it might not be as you want it too but it will make you reflect on what the next day might bring"

WGM 20120107

First show of the year..

We start of with JW and EJ couple, EJ is abit sad that JW hasn't called her asking her out for her birthday. So after some talk with her girls she called JW and asked if he saw her on TV which he resonded he didn't due to work, shooting his drama.
Then he started to sing Happy B-day for his wife. But EJ answered a bit harsh, why are you singing.. my b-day is tomorrow. JW sounded so tired and said he know but anyway ^^
Continuing EJ should come to him... EJ a bit posh as always XD where is that then? why should I come? JW answered: I miss you.
Hyomin asked JW if there were any good looking actors at his location, JW said that Cheon Jeong Myeong was there, making HM wanting to follow EJ to JW's location ^^;;

Back to earlier when JW prepared for EJs b-day. He first went to a cake shop and designed the cake himself followed by buying a b-day present...
3 days later we found him on the set of his drama.. to put the SECRET camera in action ^^
He asked Cheon Jeong Myeong and Kim Yu Seong to help out, which they of course offered to do!

EJ finally came to the location but the guys were so weird and she had no idea what was going on.
Then the boys started to raise their voices which made EJ to step outside..
The boys had their fight making EJ worried and taking care of her hubby, in the end CJM and KYS brought the huge cake JW had prepared!
After some small talk and JW was "forced" by his hyungs to give EJ a kiss...
CJM suddenly took off his jacket making them wonder why, he just said he was hot XD
EJ also asked what to call CJM, in the end he said.. call me oppa (^^)

They carried the cake to a coffee shop and she got her b-day present.
Headphones he had custom made, on one side it says Woo and other Jeong and on the top it says We got married 2011 April 9 - the day they got married.
JW also wrote a cute b-day card.. (sorry too tired to translate)
EJ also handed over a present for JWs mum, since she hadn't had the time to give one before.


LT and S met up in the morning, and took on the gloves they were given on the show in the studio.
then with the hand left over...well.. they got a home in LTs pocket ^^
LT brought up the talk about their house, he said he got a call from the realestate agency so they should go and check it out.
At the agency they sat down and LT brought out his notebook asking what was inside the house, how many toilets, if it had tv etc. He also asked who lived there before. Accoring to the agency it was newlyweds and they got twins so they had to move out.. too small I guess ^^
S asked if it had bathtub and "sauna".. and said she'd give LT a massage later on.

After checking out the house they finally decided to take it ^^
Left alone they started to set up house rules ^^
Then they went shopping for furniture and other house supplies.
The couple had much fun doing so XD
While they packed the things they could bring back themselves they had a bit fun, joking around - police/criminal.
When it came to the payment S said she wanted too but LT didnt let her.
S got to look at LTs id card and was surprised when she saw the photo, LT said it was taken 6 years ago ^^ and S said she was still in middle school at the time, making LT burst into laugh saying he was an old man XD
Afterwards they went shopping for ddeokbokki ingredients at the super market ^^
S told LT he could just relax while she'd cook ddeokbokki for him, however in the end they made it together... S asked why LT was so good at opening the food packs, which he replied he had lived on his own for quite some time. ^^;;
LT laughed abit seeing his wife was bad at cooking ^^ S tried to find a recipe to follow but in the end LT said they should just do as they wished instead... so cute


Next week we'll see if it was tasty or not ^^

A true friend

It doesn't matter how many months/years we haven't seen each other, when we do meet, it feels like we saw each other last week. That's what I call a good friend.


Thank you for being there!

Final Goods

I finally got my final goods from the Arashi Beautiful World Tour.

It's weird it's already over and I'm loning for the concert dvd already since I was unable to attend the concert myself.

A friend of mine went to the venue in Nagoya and picked up a few things for me.. :)

T-shirt

Hairband

Clearfile Group

Clearfile Matsujun

She asked me why not Sho-kun but I wasn't to fond of his photo this year XD

I think Matsujun looked much better and since he is my ni-ban (^0^)

Will post photos when I get the goods! ;)

Today's quote

"Chocolate makes you fat, still you eat it now and then and feel good about yourself, so don't try to deny yourself happiness even though it won't last for a lifetime"

An old one for the record

I heard this one for the first time when I was 10 years old...
And after all these years I still like the song, so I'd thought I'd share it just for the record ^^



Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

KPOP on Spotify

I used my dad's computer today, he has Spotify.. I gave it up after I quit my job at EA.
Don't ask why.. I used it at work every day, loved to find all the great music, to listen and work at the same time made my working days XD But I guess living in S.Korea and I couldn't use it there and I got even more into Asian music at the time, when I came back home I didn't feel the need to use it anymore.

Anyway.. today I searched around and guess what I found?!
Lots of Kpop music! All from 2am,2pm, 2NE1, Big Bang, SNSD, Wonder Girls, Lee Seung Gi and more.
I was surprised to find it! Not all songs but many. So I guess there are something to be happy about. At least for Kpop fans in Sweden who uses Spotify.

Also for the future we can hope they will be able to provide even more :)


*Note: when searching they might fall under various names..like: snsd, girls generation, So Nyeo Shi Dae

Hahaha.. what happened!

My mum insisted to wash my Hello Kitty pillow for some reason, calling it dirty I believe.
And I was in no mood to argue so I let her do so.
However now when I got it back, it's twice as big as before... it's more fluffy and actually looks overweight XD

I wonder what happened... and NO it's not a chinese copy.
This one I got from the HELLO KITTY store in Japan!

Also.. it doesn't look much cleaner.. as my mum said: BUT we know it's clean.
Still I cannot get over the fact that it's doubble the size!!

Wish I had more time

I've been so busy lately that I have had no time to follow my regular dramas or shows.
It's a part of life I suppose.. no.. part of being a student!
Life was easier when I was working full time, the work itself could be hell from now and then however after my hours I could go home and relax. As a student you have to be able to study 24/7.
No vacations, weekends etc. You are supposed to be there to stay alert and study study study.

I wish I had more than 24 h a day....

Total failure!!

I sometimes hate being a woman...!
Today I was sitting on my bed reading all the essays and didn't even notice it...
a few hours later I walked in to the bathroom and noticed it..!! (_ _)
My pants were all red so I rushed back into my room and guess what, so was my bed! And I just changed my bedding, less than 24 h ago! What can I say but total failure!!
Now I have to wash it all again... (T_T)


The small things in life kinda sucks!! Why did it have to happen? I'm already busy with other things, I have no idea to manage my time these days.
No time to cry or be angry, just fix it... my life is in a mess until next Thursday afternoon.

My top 10

Arirang TV showed who their viewers saw as their fave Korean men they'd like to go on a date with... However only Top 7 and mostly members of Big Bang and Super Junior.
I could agree to some of them but.. well I thought I'd make my own Top list. (I know some are a bit older, but after seeing them on TV etc I think it could be fun too, lots to learn from them!)
I made this list now, and I guess if I had more time to think it'd be a bit different.. but these were the guys who came to my mind (^^)


KOREAN GUYS TOP 101 Choi Si Won (Super Junior)
2 U-Know/Yun Ho (DBSK/TVXQ)
3 Hyun Bin
4 Lee Seung Gi
5 Lee Byung Hun
6 Won Bin
7 TOP (Big Bang)
8 Lee Min Ho
9 Lee Min Woo (Shinhwa)
10 Alex Chu

JAPANESE GUYS TOP 101 Sakurai Sho (Arashi)
2 Mukai Osamu

4 Kimura Takuya (SMAP)
5 Saito Takumi

WGM 20111231

We continue where we left of last time..

Part 1 - Secret TALK
First keyword "Dimwit"
SuJu's Sungmin talked about the promise the boys and Sora made before the SuJu Super Show 4.
She said she was going to hook the girls up on blinddates, however so far they havent been invited to such meeting.
T-ara members said that EJ tries to act cute infront on JW but they said it wasn't cute at all making EJ burst out PARK JIYEON XD
The Soyeon continued saying that EJ are acting cute to so many these days so that JW shouldn't flutter himself XD

Second keyword "A women you know", making all the guest wanting to share a story!
SM said that while LT worked as radio DJ he asked women guests for their phone number ^^ LT immediately burst out: When did I ever do that? and left S with an open mouth XD
SM continued saying he never called the women, so is the collecting thing his hobby?!
Continuing asking S if LT is nice to her, after saying yes... SM said: He's nice to all females XD
Making the members of T-ara agree with SM's words.
Then switched off to the rumor that EJ wanted another husband than JW.. making JW saying: Are we gonna get a divorce today?
The girls continued saying that EJ likes a romantic and warmhearted guy..also likes when the guy creates an "event" for her, and these days she's talking alot about Baek Sung Hyun.

Finally they came out.. Bae Ki Sung, Sung Min and Jiyeon and Soyeon.
EJ scoled her band members saying she knew they'd be like this.. a bit mean XD


Part two.. They were asked questions which they all had to answer.. First the guys.. their questions were like: When do I think my wife is loveable? When do I find my wife sexy, When do I find my wife scary etc.
They shared cute stories.. JW loved EJ's sexy dance, LT had 3 topics.. among them her lips when blowing soap bubbles ^^

While the focused on JW and EJs talk about when JW found EJ scary.. LT wrote a message to S saying she shouldn't be nervous when talking, she should try to be relaxed when talking. When it was brought to attention the other boys felt left out saying: If you do such then what are we XD

Girls questions: The event my husband made for me was just so-so.
EJ answered when JW set up a secret camera for her B-day.. It will be aired next week! (Jan 7)


Part3 Find your wife
The guys got blind folds and had to feel different hands and say stop when they believed they found their wife.
Too bad for JW and EJ couple who were the only one to miss.. I bet EJ wont forgive him for some time XD
LT really did it well since he and S havent known each other as long as the other couples.


Part 4 Shown your strength
EJ who has done Taekwondo even got through 2 pieces.
When S tried it looked like it hurt quite alot and LT was fast to support his wife.
When it was time for the guys... they said since they were guys they should be able to get through all 10.
JW really put strength into it.. breaking all!
Before LT smashed his ones.. S said: Oppa I want to eat rice. Making LT take of his jacket and show what he was made of XD
But.... it didn't work very well, only smashing 5 bricks.


Part 5 Feed you partner
So funny and poor guys... Who could finish a portion the fastest? prize: Box of Black been noodles
Both JW and LT asked their wifes to take out the chopsticks from their mouth since they could not chew the noodles with them stuck in their mouths XD
Congrats to LT and S :)

Part 6 Award time
Most jealous - EunJeong (from Yoga time XD)
Best Sound - Lee Jang Woo (His laugh)
"Ogle" (Not sure how to translate it into English) - LeeTeuk + Kang Sora
Cry award - Kim Won Jun

Fruit smoothies

Last week I came across this one...

I thought I'd try it out and I really like it!

So yesterday when I went to the supermarket I also picked up the other flavour..
It was also good but not as good as the other one.
Anyway I found something new to snack on when I feel like something sweet(^^;;)

It says it's sugarfree but then I wonder what else they have put in it to make it so sweet XD

What a joke!!

Today.. lunchtime.. 1,5 days before the one of the exams begin our teacher sends out what we need to read!!! BUT since we have a holiday tomorrow it's only half a working day?! or actually not even that...most working places only work until lunch today!!

He is really stupid! He should have had sent it out right before Christmas.. I mean we sent it in before Christmas so he should have done it the same day or the day after!! OR at least at the beginning of this week!!

I want to laugh and cry!! wonder how this will turn out... he's stupid for sure!!!

I just want this class to end... and I hope I will pass!!
