The Most Romantic Love Story



a while ago i'm just reading through articles, laughing, smiling, and crying! omg! i read this article from asianoffbeat.com... a chinese man who carved 6,000 steps up a mountain only using his hands for his wife...

the way they tell the story is so simple but its meaning is so touching!

how will you react if you heard that a 70-year-old man hand carved 6,000 steps up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife's convenience? and that their love story is like Romeo and Juliet... their families were against their relationship...so they decided to hide and live in a cave together...

what made me real cry...

At the beginning, life was harsh and Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, "Are you regretful?"Liu always replied, "As long as we are industrious, life will improve."

omg! it's like so sweet! and then the man died... awww!

Liu and his wife were not present at the award ceremony due to their age, but their son, Liu Mingsheng, came with a kerosene lamp that his father had made from an ink bottle."My parents have lived in seclusion for more than 50 years because of their love for each other. They had no electricity and my father made kerosene lamps to lighten our lives," he said."My mother seldom goes down the mountain, but my father cut the 6,000-plus stairs for her convenience," Liu said. "It's a ladder of love."



aww! what can you say with this true love story?

Korea's best bodies

from shape magazine

4. Han Eun-Jung

3. Hyun Young


2. Ivy


1. Kim Ajoong



i don't have any violent reactions...lol

Kim Ahjung...

Kim Ahjung is from 200-pound beauty movie... she is really gorgeous! but then when i found out that... she had pastic surgery... i'm like..."what?!" then i said "ok." lol



Voted as “best body” by Shape magazine readers, Kim A-joong was not always the beauty that she is now. It is really amazing what a little makeup, hair, weight loss and plastic surgery can do! Looking at the before picture, she has obviously lost some weight since highschool (many Korean girls who through a high-school fat stage, like the frosh fifteen). After losing the weight and gaining confidence, the next step is getting the double folds in the eyes. Getting the eyes done is no big deal - almost every girl goes under the knife to make the eyes bigger. In her case, I think (although I am not an expert) that she also got her eyes widened- the whites of the eyes are more visible. After the eyes is the nose. For Kim Ajoong, it’s very obvious that she got her nose done. For celebs, the minimum nose lift is about 5mm. If you are a regular person, an extra lift of 2-3mm is usually the norm. At the same time, celebs usually have to have cosmetic dentistry. Again, Kim Ajoong looks like she has veneers and her front teeth are larger (and whiter). To straighten teeth quickly, many celebs just get their teeth pulled and re-planted. The flip side of this is that your gums may turn grayish which is not attractive (check out Kim Heesun - she never shows her gums when she smiles). Also, it looks like that she might have gotten an implant in her forehead to make it look rounder. All this work at the cost of millions of won has helped Kim Ajoong be the beauty that she is now.*


Photoshopped pics of suju!

i got these 2 pics from superjuniorfan.multiply.com... they are all so cute! lol



Kangin without toilet paper!

ok, so i'm reading this from a forum...it really made me laughed so hard...

Friday's Chun Bang Ji Chuk was about "How would you respond if someone texted you saying...
"And today's theme was "I'm in a public restroom but there's no toilet paper"

So KangIn texted a few people, telling them he's in the toilet without the paper to see how they respond...he texts the super junior members.

EunHyuk: ???? (ROFL.)
HeeChul: I'm at a restaurant right now (i dont think he appreciates knowing that. LOL especially wen he's eating.)

SungMin called him instead of texting him... so KangIn called him back so that the conversation could be heard on air.Sungmin's the only nice one... so he asked KangIn where he is and said that he'll go over and bring KangIn the toilet paper lol.But he was talking in the respective form to kangin about half the time...(i thought they all speak lowered form to each other?)

Then he calls HeeChul... HeeChul's ringback tone is "Chutcha"... only his part
Heechul's talking with his mouth full.
kangin: Hyung, Im in trouble... (explains the situation...)
HeeChul: Hmm just let your "dung" dry ('dung' = POO. LOL DISGUSTING HAHAHAHAHA THAT MADE MY LAUGH)
KangIn: HYUNG!
KangIn: Hyung, im not gonna leave here until you come. i'm gonna just stay here
HeeChul: Mm okay.
KangIn: What?
HeeChul: Mm okay.
KangIn: You're telling me to just stay here?
HeeChul: I think MinSung hyung's gonna go to you right now.
KangIn: No no hyung im just joking. this is on air right now, this is radio broadcast.
HeeChul: Oh its radio broadcast? Oh... Dont even think about ever seeing me again.

Towards the end of the show, KangIn read all the text messages he received from the other members.KyuHyun finished his schedule so he dropped by to visit kangin...

Then he received the text so KyuHyun took a roll of toilet paper and he went inside the chunji restroom looking for him ... but of course KangIn wasnt there so he told kangIn...Hyung, i think someone sent me a prank text message. (AWW, he's so innocent. LOL. he's adorably cute. love kyuhyun ><)

Eeteuk : Oh is this for radio broadcast? How should i respond? (that guy is clever.)
DongHae: Hyung, dont worry. Im your dongseng fishie DongHae. I'll be there soon, just wait a little. (he's cute too ROFL)

Yesung: KangIn-ah, just flush the toilet down once...Then with the clean water that's left afterwards, you can wash with that.

Bangkal adventure?

last sunday, i was very excited because we will be going to bangkal... my sister tried to wake me up three times: 4:30 am, 5:00 am and 6:00 am... isn't it obvious that she's excited?

anyways, we got lost on our way... we got to ayala and roxas... so lost.... our dad, told us that he really knows that place... but, unfortunately, he overestimated himself... he is not really familiar with the place....

so once we got there, about 8:30 am... all shops are closed....awwww! only the wet market is open...

so guess what we did...

we just went to a mall...

and guess what again....

the mall will open at 10:30 am... and it's only 9:30! we just waited for it to open...sigh...

what we have learned from this trip is to know first if your place you want to go is open on that day you are planning... don't get too excited.... and don't put so much trust on your driver (or in our case, our dad) because they are just boasting and lying... sometimes... and also, prepare for plan b and c... always!

A very Unforgettable Experience

Yesterday, i hanged out with my friends... we ate, laughed, chat and things-that-friends-usually-do... by about 4:30 pm, we went home...

a very unforgettable experience....

...

...

...

ok, i forgot my very unforgettable experience...

...

...

of course, I'm just kidding!

so here's the story... i decided to ride FX in order to go home...because no one can fetch me and that's the only mode of transportation that i know to ride...

while waiting for the FX going Tikling or Junction, I kept studying my environment... well, in short, i met a whole bunch of strangers with different stories... i really don't know them but you could actually guess their jobs, why are they there, and all that...

5:30 pm

still there waiting for an FX to come...

6:00 pm

i decided to ride a jeepney... so i went there and waited... there's a a lot of jeepneys there but i didn't know what to ride... if Calumpang, Parang, Angono, Taytay and a lot more.... there's also a lot of commuters there... but i'm too afraid to ask because they all look tired and had a bad day...

6:30 pm

i decided to go back looking for FX coz that's the only thing i'm sure... and there's a different set of strangers now...

6:40 pm

i called my dad to fetch me... i already surrendered and i'm really tired! walking and walking and looking and looking...with my heavy bag and all that...

7:00 pm

i went to the LRT station and decided to wait there for my dad...

7:30 pm

finally, there's my dad to fetch me...

there are a lot things i learned and i realized...

first, i thought i know a lot of things in life but no... i'm too innocent and ignorant to be alone in this world full of strangers...

second, i'm too fortunate to have a lot of blessings in life... some people don't...

lastly, that my dad loves me so much... haha... so mushy!

anyways, that's a really great experience for me...a very unforgettable experience...

One Litre Of Tears Review



I finished One Litre of Tears last friday night and oh my goodness! I haven't cried like that since birth! Feels so good after all... I mean, NO! After crying and sobbing, my head really hurt that much and my eyes were really swollen and I can't sleep at all! I finished watching it at 11:30 pm and I'm kinda scared because I'm all alone, in front of my computer crying and sneezing. TIP: If you're planning to watch this wonderful drama, prepare a lot of tissue beside you because based on my experience, you wouldn't want to know where I sneezed and what I used to mop my tears.

So much for exaggeration.

At first, when I learned about this drama series, I was really not that interested in watching it. But then, when I gave it a try and cried that much in episode ONE (part ONE), I just said to myself, "I haven't cried this year!" (Since, yearly, I cry over small things, right now it's different.)

And then, I can't stop watching, crying and, loving its story and characters.

Things that made me fall in love with it and made it very effective to me are:
  1. it's a TRUE story.
  2. the CAST. (they are really good actors most especially the one who played Aya Ikeuchi (Erika Sawajiri))
  3. MOTHER's love. (very evident)
  4. the FAMILY. (how they value and love one another and everytime they take a family picture.)
  5. DREAMS and HOPES. (how Aya lost all of her dreams because of her illness. so hurtful)
  6. FRIENDSHIP. (how her friends sacrificed just for her.)
  7. falling in LOVE. (I also fell in love with Haruto!)
  8. the background SONGS. (they are all sad and really sets the mood)
  9. the slide show of PICTURES of the real Aya at the end.
  10. the TITLE itself.
There are a lot of lessons in this drama and you will really reflect after watching this. It's worth watching and I can say it is the BEST.

Watch it now at crunchyroll!

My rating: 10/10
