Just finished all 32 episodes of my [Legend/Taewangsashingi] and i'm already feeling the brunt of the withdrawal symptoms. Argh.
One thing i detest about watching drama is reaching the end of it. Well, its not always the case with every single one i watch but this time, [Legend] definitely belongs to that category. Just like [Hong Gil-Dong], [Coffee Prince], [Boys over Flowers] etc. had been..
I miss Damdeok already..
I like the name alot actually. Beats me why. Damdeok just sounds nice. Ha. Even Kiya sounds nice.
Time for some indulgence in Damdeok reminiscene.
I'm listening to the OST as i'm writing this entry and the feeling is just so strangely overwhelming. I especially love the last picture.. Though im pretty sure this wasnt a scene from the show itself. He looks so darn good i would say the role was practically tailored for him. 
N of course, Philip. Who plays the role of the guardian of Azure dragon. Eh. The person lying besides him was supposed to be Sujini (Lee Jia) but apparently somebody photoshopped it with Damdeok's face. Lol. I like this better anyway.. ha.
Another photoshopped picture.. Joon bear! But i dun understand why its hairstyle look so different from Damdeok's.
The life size version. Damn. I didnt see this at the teddy bear museum in seoul so it must be at the one in jeju.
This is the only one i saw.. if only it was on sale! Its really called Joon Bear..
See i am not kidding.
It even comes with its own introduction on our yon-sama.
This is a random collage that i found and it was when the guardian of the White Tiger awoke after being fatally speared. And philip was taking revenge. Yeah, he gets pissed off now and then though most of the time, he's emotionless.
This is even more random. But it was the closest i ever got to be with bae yong joon. LOlx. Yup the filming site of [Winter sonata]. But i have to say that i dig his style in [Legend] more than in [Winter sonata].
Frankly speaking, i dun have much interest in uncles but he, won bin and joo jin mo are the few exceptions to the rule. Heh. So yeah, im not afraid of admitting im a BYJ fan. ^^
ps/ 허락 is so so so so nice~ I should consider getting the OST to add to my collection.
Lol. The title was supposed to have been [태왕사신기] but i typed philip lee instead. This guy is a pure gem. And im NOT kidding. Born in America, has a wealthy father who owns a global IT company, graduated from ivy league university, speaks perfect English and stands at 186cm! And i have no need to emphasize his looks or sex appeal. XDD.
I am so disappointed with myself for not watching [Legend] earlier. The graphics totally blew me away.. especially when philip's character awoke to save Damdeok (the king played by bae yong joon). It was damn awesome. Haa. Loved bae yong joon in the drama too. How can anyone not be attracted to someone with such intelligence?? And of course how he's always so calm and collected just adds to his overall charm. Ok philip does a better job at that. Always brooding and silent in the background but there's no way you can miss his presence. Rofl.
Okie after [Legend], its time to catch [Slingshot].. cos of Philip~
^^
Im practically drowning in drama nowadays..

Pats on the shoulder for being slightly more hardworking today but i still need to push myself harder.
Was watching ss501's performance at the recent L.A Korean Music Festival and i am further convinced that my favourite student really resembles hyungjoon. Heh. Kinda miss having him around on mondays. Recently i have this new student and it seems like he likes being in my class. I bet its cos i always give him As and Bs on his evaluation chart. Lol. But it was kinda weird that upon hearing from 2 teachers that he likes me and speaks well of me, i don't feel much emotions being stirred, in contrast to when i hear negative remarks about me.
I guess i would be a much happier person if i would smile at positive remarks and ignore negative ones, instead of being nonchalent towards positive remarks and getting overly affected by negative ones. -___-'''
After all these years, i realise i am still yearning for 30 hours in a day. 24 is just too little..
Jae is just so incredibly pretty..

I can understand perfectly why gers squeal their heads off when nickhun horvejkul appears.
This guy must have seriously accumulated tons of good karma in his previous life to be born with such blessed looks in this life. Even i have to cave in occasionally and admit that he's more gorgeous than jaejoong. (Nah, jae is still the best to me) But he is helluva lucky guy.
That said, i still love my leader-ja as much as khun. *^__^*
Anyway was watching Jang Geun Suk's [Baby and I] today and he did the action i love most to Kim Byul!! He patted her head twice~~ haha. I dunno why i just adore head-patting. But of course, that works only if the guy is tall. (I accept Jaebum as the only exception lol)

Somebody said this to me.
'I mean find someone who you can love again. You love korea, then you can love one from where you love.'
I thought it was pretty amusing. Especially since it came from my xiaodi. But nah. He meant well of cos, but i have no intention of doing what he proposed.
그 사람은
그림의 떡이자 하늘의 별 같은 사람이라서
멀리서 볼 수 있다면 되지 뭐..
아니야
지금처럼 볼 수 없어도 어딘가에 행복하게 살고 있다는 걸 알면 충분해..
나 욕심쟁이이거든
여기까지 와서 나도 깜짝 놀았어.
어떡해 참을 수 있는지 잘 모르겠다
살다 보면 이런 저런 일을 겪게 마련이다
되게 기뻐해주는 것도
많이 슬퍼해주는 것도
다 경험해야 하지 않을 까?
그래서
나야말로
인생이란 게
싫다.
Caught the ending of [Hong Gil-dong] again this morning. Reminded me of how empty it was.. the futile attempts of the king to claim his kingdom at the expense of his own soul, whatever was left of it by then..

Something unexpected came in the (e-)mail today.
Something that i had already resolved to forget. Or rather, resolved to keep latched up securely in a chest of memories, never to forget; yet, never to bring up again.
However, i didnt count on it to resurface by itself.
Six months have passed. To be exact, 164 days since 26th december 2008. Which makes that 3936 hours. Or 236160 minutes. Or 14169600 seconds.
That's a freaking amount of time.
But apparently it was barely enough to forget someone. Frankly, i am sometimes amazed by myself. I stand awed, at rare occasions, just reflecting on my stubbornness and the firm determination i equip myself with. Maybe its pure ignorance and stupidity on my part. For all i know, i may be slightly retarded. Which.. doesnt seem that bad.
If it can dull one's emotions and ability to miss someone.
ni hao weebee~
너 삐졌구나?!!ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
하여간 웃겨~~ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
미안하다~ 내가 연락이 한동안없었지~
지금은 예전에 weebee처럼 어학당에 다니고 있는데
9월달에 대학교에 들어가야해~
중국어 너무 어렵다....ㅠㅠ
지금 컴퓨터할시간도 없이 공부하고 있어~
정말로 조금만 있으면 weebee랑 중국어로 대화할수있을꺼 같아~
조금만 기다려~ㅎㅎ
그리고 너 삐진거같아서 사진보낸다^^
나 군대 있을때 사진도 있어~
너무 많이 웃지마~!ㅎㅎ
자주는 못하지만 가끔 연락할께~~
그리고 국제 전화 하는 방법을 잘몰라서 ㅡㅡ;;;
ㅋㅋ 조만간 연락할께~~
One of the attached files that came with it.. i kinda thought the overall shot was pretty good. Ok, it wouldnt hurt to admit that i chose this pic (over the rest) to put on the blog cos i liked his lanky frame in there. Lol.
If the post above projected a depressing feel, rest assured that reality is far from it. 164 days may be insufficient to obliterate him entirely from my memories but it was more than necessary for me to come to terms with it. I rarely feel dejected over this nowadays; its more of a dull throbbing ache that manifests now and then. In fact, im rather comfortable with the feeling: it being an old acquaintance that serves as a fond memory of the days i spent in korea.
Yesterday was the longest day i ever had at Readingtown. Was there at 9 to prepare for the morning program which was from 930 to 1230. That was followed by an hour of lunch break before i had chinese lessons with jiwoong. Ok i did have another free hour after that but the classes for the rest of the day were all full i.e. 3 students each.. That coupled with a whole pile of homework from the kids that i have accumulated.
Did i ever mention how much i hate marking?
Teaching is fine. But marking is like.. YUKES.
I was ready to collapse from exhaustion by 9 before my last class wrapped up for the day. -__-

Yup. I officially adopted a second xiaodi. Lol. Truth to be told, i aint that close to my first xiaodi anymore as compared to a few years ago when i first met him. Well, he's all grown and sophisticated now to the point i think he is such a fashionista-cum-social butterfly that he belongs to the category of people i would never come into contact with in real life. Yeah yeah i lead a mundane life. The feeling is kinda weird how someone grows apart from u but i guess its just a normal phase that all kids go through. So as long as he's sensible and happy now, its more than adequate. Hopefully he wun forget me if he becomes famous in the future! XDD.
Yup my DDD (he became my da didi after he reached 18) is really a good looker. I'M NOT KIDDING 'KAE. Lol. Interested parties, please leave a tag on my board and i will provide the link to his blog. Haha.
Anyway, my second xiaodi is none other than the ex-student who listened to my advice and got a gf previously. Knew him when he came to Readingtown for classes before i left for korea. So yeah he's korean. He's such an amusing blockhead who is so full of himself that i had to adopt him as my xiaodi. Lol. In a way, he kinda echoes jaebum in the arrogant way that he carries himself but obviously, jaebum is cuter. =p
Sorry that comment was uncalled for. But yeah he's the kind who thinks he is tall, handsome n smart. Ok he's freaking tall alright (standing at 1.8m for a 14 year old kid) but handsome n smart?? Err.. i would leave that decision to everyone's own discretion. He keeps on bugging me to treat him these days.. argh. Apparently i have to do so, being his 누나 (older sis). ㅠㅠ
Hee and i have half the mind to adopt a third di. I know, its getting to be a bad habit but i rarely extend that invitation unless i really feel that close to the kids. And of course, the third di i have in mind is my favourite monday class student! ^^
He's opening up more nowadays and getting more relaxed with me in class. To the extent he would put his head on the table at times, ask me lame questions and lean back against the wall etc.. Lol. Considering i have been almost teaching for like 1.5 years (including the time i was away for nearly 4 months), i have kinda developed the knack for analysing how students feel towards me and the lesson. Whether they like me, whether they are enjoying the lesson or even if they hate it.. its pretty evident in their attitude and behaviour in class. I wouldnt go as far as to say that every student delights in attending my class, but i do know that i have my supporters who enjoy themselves in my company. In teacher marissa's words, 'every teacher has her/his own fans'. And this favourite student of mine.. definitely appreciates being in my class as much as i fancy teaching him. =)
ps/ I soooo wanna go shopping, for GSS is here~ keke
