Well, I'm officially addicted to The Mindy Project tv show.
Have you given it a try? If not, please do. It's so funny that I have to put this show on the top of 'How I Met Your Mother' in my favorite tv show list. Yeah, I did. Sorry, Mindy easily kicked Ted Mosby's uh..um.. 'behind'. So, here's how the new ranking look like;
The Big Bang Theory
The Mindy Project
How I Met Your Mother
I think one of the reason why I like the show is because you can easily relate to Mindy. It's real and it's hilariously normal. It's what you would have done but keep it a secret because it plainly embarrassing. It's the little habits that you think were unnoticed. But Mindy, she rocks it all. I tell you, it's so funny that it's hurts not to talk about it.
I mean, my God, just look at him. What kind of mortal who owns face like that? And his eyes are one of the most beautiful thing i ever seen. Those deep intense gazes would easily send one heart's rushing to the Emergency Room.
His playful side. But those eyes were still saying something like, "don't be a fool, i know it all and i'm gonna strip your soul bare". Intimidating, yet makes you want more. All pictures are taken from his twitter account.
Anyway, the reason he caught my attention was because i just found out that he's actually a Korean and not Japanese. The story goes like this, i watched the Japanese drama Sweet Room, fell in love with the soundtrack "Stand by U" by Tohoshinki, and obviously his voice is the sweetest. But then, that's not enough drive for me to google him, yet.
Time passes.
Seasons change.
This time i saw a video clip of the song "Why Did I Fall In Love With You" by DBSK. It's the same faces, same voices, but they are called DBSK instead of Tohoshinki. That definitely stirs some confusions. I searched only to find out more names. DBSK? Tohoshinki? TVXQ? JYJ? I dived further. Koreans not Japanese? Now you got my full attention.
In the end, after having to learn almost everything about Tohoshinki (let's settled with Tohoshinki cause i was introduced to them as Tohoshinki first), i cannot help but come to adore Kim Jaejoong.
According to Wikipedia, Kim Jaejoong, at the age of 15, he moved alone to Seoul to pursue his dreams. And in the same time he has to earn in order to pay for food, rent and schools. After 2 years, he's the lead vocalist of Tohoshinki aka DBSK aka TVXQ. Since then, he never stop but keep rising and marching forward. And now, as of right now at the moment, he's already an accomplished Singer, Composer, Actor, Model and a Director! He is already all that at the age of 25.
I can't help but to gape and admire. It's true that he has the complete package. But to embark on such journey from young age and be that successful, the combination of talent-look-luck is not enough. So, my bet would be that he is also brave, smart, creative, hardworking and most importantly tenacious.
Thinking back, me, at the age of 15 i still believe in Santa Claus. There's nothing that i really want. I wrote my ambition was to become a scientist when i don't even know what scientist do for real. Dream? I thought dream and ambition is just the same thing. Love and romance? That's beyond my comprehension. When i was 15, there was a senior that has taken an interest in me. And despite his many efforts to woo me, i'm still scared of him until the end. That's one of my funny memories. I remembered asking my friend all sorts of questions about dating. I don't understand why he wanted to know more of me and what good could the info of me possibly benefits him. I just cannot imagined the feeling of needing someone other than my family. And to be at the receiving end, i thought it was just creepy, that someone somehow harbored such thoughts on me. Back then, life to me was just about catching butterflies and smelling the roses.
That is why i have such a GREAT RESPECT for Kim Jaejoong.
Anyway, besides singing he also starred in a few dramas and movies. I haven't see any of his act but i'm looking forward to it. I actually have a dvd of his movie Heaven's Postman. I got it for quite a long time and until now it's still on the rack, unopened and un-watched.
After my father pass away, which soon followed by my grandmother, then my uncle, i don't think i have the guts to go through the similar kind of heartbreaks. Even if it just a simulation, i wouldn't dare to. Cause i don't know what will it take for me to recover and get back on track.
I read from Youtube's review that it's quite a movie. It seems that Kim Jaejoong has stepped up his game. And he even composed the soundtrack himself. I'm so impressed by him. This guy really is exceptional. His limit is probably somewhere beyond the sky.
Even so, i do hope that he'll enjoy his life to the fullest. I think happiness is just a state of mind. So, i'd rather wish him to have a contented life.
I watched Soul Surfer yesterday, unprepared and no expectation in mind. All i knew was that the movie is a true story of a young girl surfer who was bitten by shark.
The moment AnnaSophia emerges from the sea, and the song "Blessed Be Your Name" started playing, my eyes also started to get teary. I don't know what it is with this song, but when voices are combined harmoniously, the results are beyond beautiful.
I've been downloading a lot of korean dramas recently. Last night, i've finished watching "Marry Me, Mary", also known as "Mary Stayed Out All Night". And like Santana from Glee said,
SO FREAKING CHARMING!
The things about korean drama that make me addicted to it are, because of the story plot is simple and i had a good time laughing watching from the beginning to the end. It's stress free drama. This is the kind of drama that i would recommend to young adults. I watch this with my 10 years old niece, and we had a good time laughing together. The only awkward moments were during the 5 secs smooches (top!), which make my niece blush. Well at least it's not like those passionate kisses from the Notebook movie.
Yesterday i was just talking about La Vie En Rose, and today i watch this movie Jeux D'enfants. And the whole time in this movie were only playing the La Vie En Rose song as soundtrack. Talk about coincidence, right? I did not plan any of these to happen. Well, maybe i help a little in unconscious way. I do admit that these few months I've been having a french fever. I quit learning Japanese and start learning French instead. In my defense, Japanese is not easy to learn okay! And to make the matter worse, Japanese has 3 types of writing, Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Omg, Kanji is the hardest of them all. Till this day i only know to write 12 Kanji characters, which are, number 1 - 10, river and father. So, that's it. I give up. I simply give up. Don't judge me.
So, why French? Why not Italian? I did do some weighing between those two. I must say that i was tempted to go for Italian after reading Eat Pray Love. Attraversiamo, Liz Gilbert favorite word. True though, my tongue nearly have an orgasm pronouncing that word alone. I bet Italian must have words that far more exotic than that one. And that is the problem. To me it's an exotic language. Too hot for me to handle. And if i may get a grip, i afraid that i just lost control. That is why i choose French. It's soft and warm to my ear. You know, i have been practicing Jai Deux Amour song for a while now. I should have no problem karaoking it now.
Okay, talk about the movie Jeux D'enfants, any of you who might interested to check out this movie, it has an english title Love Me If You Dare. Overall this movie is okay. Kind of sweet in it's own way. But i don't understand the ending. Did they grew old together or did they end their life together?
I never noticed that Tom Cruise is actually very very very good looking until i watch this movie. As for Cameron Diaz i never realize that her eyes are blue till now. Really blue like ocean blue. I did not seem to remember what color Toms' eyes are, because i was too distracted by his awesomeness. This movie definitely in my top-10 lists. When i say top-10 means that this is the kind of movie which i would watch over and over again. It's EVERGREEN.
Never mind Diaz's sweaty armpits. Just don't ruin this moments.
Back then when i used to celebrate Christmas merrily, i received a classic novel title Wuthering Heights from a friend as we exchange gifts. I was never a reader and I have trouble focusing on the book for more than 30 seconds. I prefer reading comic books instead, everything was beautifully illustrated for your eyes to enjoy.
For more than 10 years the book is well kept and undisturbed in the shelf. As much as for my curiosity I could not even care to want to know what the book is trying to tell. I did try to give it a chance once but I was defeated when I reached the 2nd page.
And now after so many years, on a fine day I stumbled upon the Wuthering Heights the movie. Ahh, finally, I said. Even better than comics. I was damn excited. It was like finally meeting your long lost brother or sister. But then they were not like what you have imagined them to be. The feeling was indescribable. It was not dissapointment because I never hoped. It was not betrayed either because I never trusted.
It was never a love story kind of movie. It was much like a tragic story. The 2 hours I spent watching the movie was full of tension and hate. The two childhood lover was ignorant, childish and stupid. Heathcliff the hero was a revengeful psycho while Catherine the heroin was a naive spoiled brat. Eventually Catherine married to someone else and Heathcliff who has gone away finally reappear as a new wealthy man in town. Of course Heathcliff still love Catherine and tried to make her jealous by marrying her sister in law (who later cried to Heathcliff "After all, it is better to be hated by you then to be loved by you", that bad huh?). Then Catherine constantly looking for Heathcliff despite the fact that she is now has a husband. Catherine got pregnant (with her legally wedded husband, of course) and died. Heathcliff spends his life living in grief and hatred. Many lives around them destroyed including their own because of their actions.
I thought love suppose to be kind, patient, not envy and not boast? It is fair to say that both of them were lacking of experience in relationship (I should know!). If they were to live nowaday, they should know that there is a term called MOVE ON.
