Oh Man Seuk - Jang Taek GiYoon Eun Hye - Lee Ji Hyun
Can a city girl fall in love witha farmer? Can someone who dreamed of becoming rich choose to live a simple life?
Well The Man in the vineyard will definitely answer your question. Impossible indeed but this could happen in real life.
Lee Ji Hyun was a fashion designer working on a very popular clothing line. She dreamed to have clothes branded by her name yet she didn't have the money to do so.
Being very optimistic about getting rich, she did her best to make beutiful designs to impress her boss. Unluckily, her boss was the one who took everything away from her as she stole Ji Hyun's newly designed clothes and admitted it as her own.
Having no work, Ji Hyun still didn't stop dreaming about becoming a famous designer until her grandfather came to Seoul and asked her to work in his vineyard for a year before letting her inherit the land.
Knowing what life she may have in the countryside, Ji Hyun refused her grandfather's offer but thinking about the future use of the Vineyard, she was forced to leave her city life and live in the countryside as a farmer. There, she met another farmer whom she already met in Seoul because of some embarrassing circumstances.
Jang Taek Gi was a very kindhearted but hot-headed farmer. He worked at Ji Hyun's grandpa's Vineyard since he was 7 years old. He was assigned to teach Ji Hyun farming but unfortunately, they never got along well ever since they met.
Taek Gi always made sure that Ji Hyun will have a hard time working in the Vineyard. Being a city girl, she was always reluctant in doing hardwork. But since her mom wanted her to inherit the Vineyard, she saccrificed everything just to impress her grandfather.
Together with Taek Gi, Ji Hyun learned how to grow good grapes, learned how to drive a tractor, learned how to flirt with a hot doctor who happened to be his college friend, learned how to spray insecticides, learned how to take a shower outside the house, and also learned how to LOVE.
As Ji Hyun spent her life in the vineyard as a farmer, she didn't realize that she was already falling for the simple farmer whom she despised so much at first sight. Although Ji Hyun already had a boyfriend, she still can't help noticing Taek Gi especially the things he has done to her.
Taek Gi was never Ji Hyun's type. Aside from only being a farmer, Taek Gi wasn't really good looking unlike her boyfriend who's got the looks and money at the same time.
But as unbelievable as it could be, Ji Hyun and Taek Gi slowly fell for each other despite all their arguments and grudge with each other. They both learned how to help each other and even how to show care for each other.
Indeed, Ji Hyun finally realized that it isn't money that she needed. It is someone to spend her life with, someone who loves her not because she's a city girl but because she's herself, she's Lee Ji Hyun, the girl who worked hard and cried simply seeing the result of her hardwork.
On the other hand, Taek Gi realized that a nice girl wasn't what he needed, but someone who will understand him despite his hot temper and one who will try her best to learn even the hardest things in life.
Love indeed moves in mysterious ways and you've got to experience it first before finally telling yourself that you are in love. Sometimes fate may bring the future to you and sometimes your own choice may also lead you to happiness. Had not Ji Hyun followed her heart, she might not be happy with the doctor whom she thought she liked.
Realizing that love is just right under your nose is sometimes unbelievable because we tend to think of the future first rather than the present when you could be happiest.
Five stars for this series! :D

Park Han Byul - Kim Soo HeeSong Ji Hyo - Park Jin Sung
This is the third installment of Korea's Whispering Corridors series which is so far the best out of the four installments.
A story of two bestfriends torn apart by greed and a single wish.
Kim Soo Hee and Park Jin Sung were bestfriends majoring in ballet. They were so close that even teachers find it hard to separate them.
Soo Hee was their ballet teacher's favorite and whatever mistake she made, the teacher never scolds her instead blames everything on Jin Sung.
Because of this, Jin Sung started to envy her bestfriend even though Soo Hee did everything for her.
Soo Hee loved Jin Sung so much that she never wanted to be away from her. She usually dreamed of them together going to Europe to perform onstage. But Jin Sung took everything for granted, wanting to be on her bestfriend's place.
When there was a competition for a representative to be sent to Russia, Jin Sung found herself competing against Soo Hee. But knowing that she can't beat Soo Hee, she became desperate. Until she found out the solution.
Han Ju, a girl obssessed with Soo Hee told Jin Sung that the staircase leading to her doemitory grants wishes if she finds the 29th step. According to legends, the fox grants the wishes of whoever has found the 29th step in the usual 28-step staircase.
Thinking that it's true and because she was so desperate, Jin Sung tried what Han Ju told her. Putting all her faith and heart to it, she started counting the steps of the stairs until she really found the 29th.
But she didn't know that a simple wish could lead to a big problem. Jin Sung only wished to win the competition against Soo Hee but the stairs seemed to have more in mind than that simple wish.
Becuase of too much greed, Jin Sung even managed to put some shards of glass inside Soo Hee's toe shoes, distracting her toes. But nonetheless, Soo Hee still managed to dance gracefully in front of the judges. This maddened Jin Sung more, that she pushed her bestfriend down the stairs injuring both her legs.
Because of depression about what her bestfriend did to her, Soo Hee jumped off from the hospital building killing herself. This became a huge shock to Jin Sung but she ignored it knowing that she didn't have any competition anymore to represent Russia.
But weird things started to happen after Soo Hee's death. Jin Sung has been haunted by nightmares of her bestfriend and worse was Han Ju started acting very weird after wishing from the stairs to return Soo Hee to her.
She was then possessed by Soo Hee's spirit scaring the hell out of Jin Sung. After killing her rival in arts, Han Ju started following Jin Sung as if she was Soo Hee.
In the end, Han Ju killed herself on a fire, thinking that Soo Hee has never liked her and believing that Jin Sung also never liked Soo Hee as much.
But the story didn't end here. Jin Sung was still haunted by Soo Hee and so she decided to go back and wish from the stairs to return everything back to normal.
But as unbelievable as it could be, instead of the 29th step, Jin Sung saw Soo Hee waiting for her up the stairs. Telling her how much she wanted to be with her and that she never wanted to leave her alone. She hugged Jin Sung, saying that she cannot wait for her bestfriend anymore, thus killing her the way she was killed on the stairs.
Scary huh! After watching this movie, I even told myself that I will never have a bestfriend anymore. Well this movie will really show how much one can do because of greed.
Friendship can sometimes be taken for granted especially when dreams are in line. Because of selfishness, terrible things could be done and friendship could be ruined.
But still, friendship can find a way to put things back into place. In this movie's case, killing Park Jin Sung so she can be with Kim Soo Hee once again.
Never take friendship for granted. It is only once when one can find a true friend and sometimes letting that friend go could either be hard or couldhave consequences.
Five stars for this movie! =)

Kim Gyu Ri - Lim Ji Oh
Choi Sae Yeon - Youn Jae Yi
Jookran High School looked so typical fromthe outside, but inside, terrible happenings could be known. Apart from terrifying teachers who would really hurt their students, some dark secrets lie within the school which will be unveiled bythe comeback of the school's alumni, Hur Eun Young as a new teacher to the school.
Lim Ji Oh was a high school student in Jookran with high dreams. She isn't popular yet she isn't bad in school either.
Youn Jae Yi was a quiet and very dependent girl. She and Ji Oh became friends when they were assigned as the school's maintainance for the week.
Things could have gone well when the school was shocked by the death of a faculty member. Fearing that her best friend who died 9 years ago might be behind this, Eun Young found ways to solve the puzzle running in the school.
Still bizarre killing happened in the school without any trace of possible evidences until such time that Ji Oh found something she wasn't supposed to find in the place where Eun Young's bestfriend died. The puzzle was solved and Ji Oh found out that Jae Yi wasn't whom she supposed to be.
Jae Yi has been killing the teachers in school because they love to pick on Ji Oh all the time. Being the only one to accept her, Jae Yi promised not to let anyone hurt Ji Oh. But Ji Oh never asked for this to happen and so she convinced Jae Yi to finally stop the horrors happening in the school so everyone will be at peace.
This is a Korean Horror that will somehow leave you hanging. Well I admit that I didn't find this movie amusing. This isn't somehow the type of horror I was expecting as I started watching. I realized as I've watched through the end that the story has a very poor plot although the characters have been so good. I was kinda disappointed in this movie because apart from "no" ghost appearances, the ending seemed a bit peculiar.
One star for this movie =/

Joo Ji Hoon - Lee ShinYoon Eun Hye - Shin Chae Gyung
Kim Jeong Hoon - Lee Yul
Song Ji Hyo - Min Hyo Rin
Monarchy in modern Korea? Is it really possible? Well think of it, tradition and modernity going together. Do you guys think it's a bit slightly off key?
Well not for this most popular series in South Korea. This series dared to change the people's perspective of a Korean Monarchy.
Goong means Palace in Korean. Yes, it is indeed very significant since most of the plot in this series happened inside the palace where love and tragedy bloomed.
Lee Shin Goon was the current Crown Prince of the South Korean monarchy. Upon discovering the illness of the king, the royal family quickly fulfilled his request to have his grandson married to someone to be the Crown Princess. Shin's grandfather has made a promise with his bestfriend who was a commoner to have his grandson and the commoner's granddaughter married. Fulfilling the promise, the royal family made ways to convince the girl about the marriage.
Shin Chae Gyung was one of the commoners in South Korea who goes to an exclusive high school, majoring in arts. She goes to the same school with the Crown Prince, but unlike him, no guys or even girls flocked around her when she arrived in school except for her three bestfriends. Her common life would change though when she found out that she was the one destined to be married to be the Crown Princess.
Min Hyo Rin was the school's outstanding ballerina. She and Shin were dating when Shin found out about the political marriage. Shin begged her to marry him just to escape from that said political marriage yet Hyo Rin rejected him, fearing that she might have to give up her career as she tried to be the Crown Princess. But her decision was so wrong.
Lee Yul Goon was the original Crown Prince but because of the tragic death of his father, he and his mom were forced out of the Palace. Because of anger, Yul's mom brought him to London where he grew up. Upon hearing the Crown Prince's marriage, Yul and his mom went back to Korea for revenge in getting Yul's postion back. There, he met the Crown Princess and fell in love with her.
Complicated story? Well quite, yes. As Chae Gyung and Shin spent their married life inside the palace where Chae Gyung received training as a Crown Princess at the same time going to school, obstacles came between their relationship and the royal family as well.
Hyo Rin realized that she should have agreed to Shin's proposal. Being under the brainwashing of Yul's mom, she did her best to get Shin back from Chae Gyung, even though it meant ruining her dancing career and even her reputation.
As for Yul, his desire to become King again grew when he started falling in love with Chae Gyung. Knowing that he was the one who was orignally agreed to be married with her, he did his best to take back what was "originally" his even though his mom hated the Crown Princess so much.
These desires to get back what was lost lead to a tragedy and a great controversy ever to happen to the Korean Monarchy. But as what a story should be, everything was solved in such wonderful ways.
Hyo Rin finally realized that she cannot get back Shin's heart since Chae Gyung already had it and even though Yul still wanted Chae Gyung, he gave up his desire to be the Crown Prince just to spare his cousin from injustice.
In the end, Yul didn't become the Crown Prince anymore and Shin gave up the position also, putting his older sister to the throne as the new Queen of Korea.
What happened to Shin and Chae Gyung then? They went to another country and started a new life there. Marrying again this time not for political reasons but for love reasons.
Having a monarchy in modern Korea isn't easy. In this series, it is shown that tradition and modernity hardly coincide since the elderly have different perspectives that the younger ones. But this could make us realize that even though old traditions must be relieved in a monarchy, things could also change like the forcibly political marriage and keeping the family of non-Crown position away from the palace.
And of course, who could forget love. Well this story shows us how love can develop even between two strangers who grew up in two entirely different worlds and also how love can sometimes hinder happiness but bring back what you deserve!
Five stars for the longest Korean series ever! :D

But love is really strong and impatient. After further thinking, and after Bok Sil admitted that she's in love with the director, he finally confessed his feelings for her.
Although they are full of love for each other, they still can't show off their relationship freely because Bok Sil's real mom disagreed of their relationship because she also blamed Seung Hui for Hye Su's death.
A lot of things and tragedies happened to their relationship. They even decided to break up just to make Bok Sil's mother happy. But Bok Sil was very weak. Every single day that she was apart from Seung Hui, she became more weak. Until one time when she broke down and cried, telling her mom how much she missed the director.
This incident made her mom think and finally deciding to let her and Seung Hui continue their relationship.
This is a typical forbidden love story but the destiny of seeing each other is what made this story wonderful. "Which Star are You From" refers to Bok Sil who was almost the same girl Seung Hui loved. Despite all the hardships and pain and despite all the arguments and arrogance, they both coped and stood up together declaring their love for each other.
Undying love indeed. it doens't really require time or fate, just FAITH.
Five stars for this series! :D

Im So Jung - Song Eun Chae (Celine Song)
This is a tragic love story that shows what love can do.
It all started in Australia where Moo Hyuk and Eun Chae met through a tragic incident.
Moo Hyuk was a gangster who was abandoned by his adoptive parents in australia. He longed to see his real mother so he worked hard to earn money to be able to fly to Korea.
Eun Chae was a coordinator to a popular singer Choi Yoon whom she has loved secretly for years, suffering while she watched him fall in love with another actress.
Neither did they know, fate will make them fall in love with each other. Even if both of them already spent a night together when Moo Hyuk's friends robbed Eun Chae, they didn't know that they will see each other again because of some circumstances.
Moo Hyuk was shot on the head twice on his girlfriend's wedding. His life became critical because one bullet cannot be removed or it would be fatal.
Having only a few months to live, he went back to Korea to look for his real mother. As unbelievable as it could be, he found out that he has an abnormal twin sister and his real mother was also the mother of Choi Yune.
That's the time when he met Eun Chae again whom he barely remembered. But she remembered him so well. Thinking that Moo Hyuk likes her, Eun Chae tried her best to send him away.
But as they spent good times together, Moo Hyuk started to fall for Eun Chae, wishing her to stay with him and to take care of his sister and nephew when he is gone.
No one knew about Moo Hyuk's identity except Eun Chae's dad who was responsible for throwing the twins away when they were born and the man who took care of Moo Hyuk's sister after they were left outside the orphanage.
As months passed and Moo Hyuk's health deteriorated, his love for Eun Chae grew stronger and Eun Chae also started falling for him, wishing Yoon to let her go and hold Moo Hyuk's hand. But because Yoon has a weak heart, she was forced to leave Moo Hyuk whom she thought was healthy and went with Yoon.
Until such time that Eun Chae found out that Moo Hyuk was sick and dying. She promised to be with him until the day he dies and promised to take care of herself when she was gone. But Eun Chae was so weak. Althought she showed Moo Hyuk that she was strong, Moo Hyuk saw right through her and decided to get away from her before he died.
Indeed, before his death, he gave his heart to Yoon and called Eun Chae on her mobile saying, "Rockhead, I'm Sorry, I Love You"
Moo Hyuk's death was a huge blow to Eun Chae that she went back to Australia to reminisce the times when they first met, until she lied down beside his grave, drinking poison, with a promise to fulfill the things that she hasn't done while Moo Hyuk was still alive. There, she died beside the man she loved the most.
This is indeed a very sad and tragic series but you can't help but be satisfied with how it ended because aside from the death, the truth is also revealed about Moo Hyuk's mother and Yoon's real relationship with him.
I'm Sorry I Love You will really make you cry and smile at the same time. This is like the typical Romeo and Juliet story where the phrase, "Till Death Do Us Part" really works. It shows how strong love is and how it satisfies every person even in death.
Five stars for this series! :D

Kim Hyun Woo felt so lucky when he was accepted at Harvard Law School. He worked hard to surpass the course, even the most toxic professor of the school.
Here he met another Korean girl whom he thought was working around Harvard as a prostitute, knowing later on that this girl Lee Soo In indeed was a student at Harvard Medical School.
Beeing so poor but with a gentle heart, Soo In worked as a volunteer in the Medical school to help sick people as well as to support her education.

The wonder of this story is all about the patience of love and how long a love can wait for that one person it is willing to sacrifice with. Amidst hardship and pain, love will still get in between two people to survive.
Five stars for this series! :D
Starring:
Lee Dong Wook - Seol Gong Chan (Julian Seol)
Lee Da Hae - Ju Yoo Rin (Jasmine Ju)
Park Si Yeon - Kim Sae Hyun (Anika Kim)
Lee Jun Ki - Seo Jung Woo (Nico Seo)
This story started when Ju Yoo Rin acted to go after her boyfriend just to get into the plane where her costumers are supposed to board. This was the time when she met the self-centered stubborn Seol Gong Chan who has seen through her pretentions.
Next stop? Gong Chan was already paying her to act as his long lost youger cousin just to please and to make his grandpa better.
The story went on, Gong Chan was taking care of Yoo Rin until such time that she fell for him which of course shouldn't happen. Little did Yoo Rin know, Gong Chan was also falling for him as well.
Risking everything, they continued on showing each other the love they are feeling until such time that grandpa found out about the pretentions and they were forced to be separated.
However, fate and true love brought them back together, this time, never letting go of each other even if their past have been so full of lies.
This korean series has been full of fun since the beginning then followed up by touching sad scenes toward the end, leading to a HAPPY ENDING...
We think it's just like the typical series that ends up the way it should end up. Indeed, it is. But what makes this series one of a kind? The way the story was carried out and because of the actors who are extraordinary in their acting.
Lee Dong Wook played the stubborn but very funny Seol Gong Chan and Lee Da Hae played Ju Yoo Rin, a poor, lying, bubbly but very loving girl. Fate met them up but choice brought them together.
This series shows us how two different worlds can be together if choice will be made and of course, love is indeed inportant to make a lasting relationship.
Five stars for this series!

But something shocked us as we arrived in our community. Houses were broken down by Gaisano's demolition team. It was a surprise seeing that those houses were still standing up the day before then now, you can see nothing but all foundations left, being hammered down.
This is one example of the pain of poverty. Of course, these people have nowhere to go now that their houses were destroyed. I understand the owner because in the first place, these people are just squatting. But what pains me is seeing the hopelessness on their faces, destroying their own houses since that'll what happen.
These people haven't been promised for a relocation. No one knew where they would go. They have been promised with it before, but it sisn't turn out good. Now, seeing them grathering all their things, saying goodbye to what they once called home is what really pained me a lot.
Even though they do not have their own place to build a house in, these peiople still have feelings and even though I saw the smiles on their faces as they left, I still know that deep inside them, the pain they feel is as worse as the way their houses are destroyed

It has been a while since I've seen movies. And when I borrowed a DVD of Just Like Heaven from my friend, I never knew that I would fall in love with this one.This movie stars Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo who both came from two different worlds.
Reese plays a very busy Doctor, Elizabeth Masterson who devoted all her life in the hospital. She has no husband, no family to take care of. she only has her sister whom she seldom visits because of her schedule.
One night after she was accepted in her hospital as an Attending Physician, she met an accident on her way home.
Three months after, David (Mark Ruffalo) arrived at san Francisco and rented a nice little apartment owned by Elizabeth. There he started seeing Elizabeth's spirit who doesn't know she's already dead.
Or was she really dead? As David and Lizzie found out who she really was, they also found out that she isn't dead but on a coma for three months.
They both looked for a way to stop Lizzie's sister from signing the agreement on pulling her life support. Finally, because of his love for Lizzie, he finally decided to steal her body.
As an ending to the movie, Lizzie came back to life when david kissed her lips. But she can no longer remember him. not knowing that only a touch could bring it all back together and that happened.
This movie tells the fun of meeting someone in the afterlife. Or in the present life but not really alive. David and Lizzie were supposed to meet each other through a friend of David and Lizzie's sister the night when she met an accident. They met while Lizzie's on a coma, meaning they really are meant for each other.
See the joy of seeing someone you will love in the future. Even if it's a live person or a spirit.

But guess what, as I've been through all my sufferings, I've finally learned and realized that physical pain is just a pinch from emotional pain.
Yes I laugh. Yes I joke around. Yes I make people happy. But those people didn't know how I truly feel inside because they do not look beyond what they can see.
I've shed so much tears in the past. I've busied myself with work so I can forget everything.
But why are the tears I shed in the past coming back right now? Why am I so bothered with the person who hurt me, who made me feel that I'm the weakest girl on earth?
Why do I still cry fo rhim? Why do I still think that it could still work for the two of us? He's long gone, he's happy. He doesn't even care about how I feel anymore.
Friendship is all that's left in us, and I should keep it. Keep it although my heart bleeds, keep it although my eyes cry out buckets of tears.
Because only friendship can spare me from dying.

nurses and nursing students out there, you definitely have to see this movie...this will somehow test your faith between religion and science...got me?...
this is a story about a girl named emily rose who was believed to have epileptic psychotic disorder after experiencing bizarre things in her school dormitory...as a college freshman, she was quite keen about things that happened to her...she then started seeing things, demonic things to be exact...she started seeing people as demons and then she also started to have frequent seizures after having those illusions...
doctors explained that emily was schizophrenic...she was having visual hallucinations and illusions followed by extreme epileptic episodes...
but her family as well as emily thought otherwise...being very religious, they all believed that emily was being possessed by a demon...so then, they called on father moore to check on emily and exorcise her as well...father moore suggested that emily should stop taking her anti-psychotic medications as this would alter her health and make the demonic possessions stronger...they abided, emily giving her full trust to father moore...
nothing happened, though...then emily got into a decision of stopping her medications and the exorcism because according to her, she already accepted her fate of letting the people know that demons really exist...later on, she became weak not to mention she often hurt herself...then she died...
the rose family of course didn't complain after witnessing all the effort of father moore to exorcise the demon out of emily...but the state decided to file a case against father moore...the case was negligence homicide...they believed that emily wasn't possessed but she was really psychotic and epileptic...
science can prove a lot of things...especially her hallucinations/illusions and seizures...during the trial, father moore played a recorded exorcism for the court to hear...in this tape, emily often scream and speak aramaic(ancient language apart from hebrew and latin)
i reckon it's really hard to say which to believe...being a catholic myself, i have reasons to say that i do think emily was really possessed...but on the other hand, being able to grow up in a medical world (i'm a nursing student), many facts proved that emily was just psychotic and sometimes having mood swings...
i'm not saying that i'm actually slipping off from catholicism...my friends even say that i'm near into being an atheist baing the only one who agreed with the atheist's arguement about having no God...well, i was just sticking to the facts because honestly, we can always doubt our beliefs, can't we?...
but according to father moore's lawyer, facts leave no room for possibilities and honestly, facts are more believable that those possibilities that are hard to prove...

This is the 6th book of the accounts of Harry Potter’s adventure in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…Havoc and chaos overcame the Wizarding World but then, Harry still went back to Hogwarts for his 6th year with Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and the other kids as well…
In this book, maturity and adolescence are clearly stated since the students’ stay at Hogwarts have developed love and jealousy…however, the rising of Lord Voldemort in power and the loyalty of his followers hindered Harry and the Order of the Phoenix from having a peaceful year at the school…
Harry’s still a bit haunted by Sirius’s death and some members of the Order and other innocent witches and wizards have been reported lost and dying…Professor Severus Snape’s loyalty has been tested since Narcissa Malfoy asked him to do the Unbreakable Vow with her saying that he should protect her son, Draco Malfoy and whatever it is that the Dark Lord asked Draco to do and he can’t do it, Snape should…
Nobody knows what was Draco Malfoy’s task…all Harry knows is that he has been planning this since before the start of term and he doubted that Draco had been the member of the Death Eaters…
This book will really leave you hanging and anticipating for the upcoming 7th sequel…this book is shorter than the Order and it was more precise…in every chapter, you’ll realize how every witch and wizard in the magical world lie in danger…you’ll keep on asking what would happen next even though it’s already quite obvious….
I can say that the title Half-Blood Prince is quite far-fetched if you really think about the theme of the story but somehow, you’ll realize that the Half-Blood Prince is on either way related to how the story ended…
Let me pick up some lines from the book…this was from chapter 27: The Lightning-Struck Tower:
“We’ve got a problem, Snape,” said the lumpy Amycus, whose eyes and wand were fixed alike upon Dumbledore, “the boy (Malfoy) doesn’t seem able—“
But somebody else had spoken Snape’s name, quite softly.
“Severus…”
The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading.
Snape said nothing, but walked forward and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.
Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
“Severus…please…”
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.
“Avada Kedavra!”
A jet of green light shot from the end of Snape’s wand and hit Dumbledore squarely in the chest.
Okay, okay…for those who haven’t read the book yet, forgive me for being such a spoiler but honestly, Dumbledore’s death is all over the internet and it is not true that he will come back to life on the 7th book…as Dumbledore mentioned, no spell can bring the dead back to life…so definitely, Dumbledore can never be alive again…
The question is, does Snape really wanted to kill Dumbledore?...is he really back on the dark side?...
Well here is my theory
Oh, this book left us many unanswered questions…mind you, there is no Dumbledore anymore who will do the explaining by the end of the last chapter…in addition, the half-blood prince also showed the life of Lord Voldemort and his parents even before he was born…what he was like before finding out that he was a wizard and what happened during and after his stay at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…Dumbledore has been away from the castle most of the time and the Order of the Phoenix had been very busy guarding and protecting the whole Magical community…
I guess J.K. Rowling planned to kill Dumbledore because of the prophecy about Harry…this is what the prophecy said:
“The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…And the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not…An either must die in the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.”
Harry has always been dependent to Dumbledore ever since he has been accepted at Hogwarts…every year, Dumbledore has to make sure that Harry would end the term alive…but after Harry found out about the prophecy, “…the Dark Lord will mark him as equal…” maybe Dumbledore thought that the time has come for Harry to face the Dark Lord alone…Not that because Dumbledore doesn’t want to face Voldemort anymore but maybe because he knows that Harry Potter will have the power to vanquish Lord Voldemort on his own…Sirius Black and Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, two of Harry’s most trusted people have died because they just did…they are relly meant to die so that Harry will learn to stand on his own and that Sirius and Dumbledore have confidence in him that he can indeed defeat the Dark Lord without their help…
And by the way, did I mention who the Half-blood Prince is?...hmmm…never mind…I don’t wanna be much of a spoiler anymore…just read the book, you’ll love it…
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is truly a frustrating book to read yet, it’ll really make you rack your brains for conclusions and theories…plus, after reading this, you will really doubt whether you wanna read the next sequel or not…but honestly, you will really can’t wait for the coming of the 7th book because of the fact that you’re anxious with what’s coming next for Harry now that the only one Voldemort has feared was already gone and that the Hogwarts staff are planning to close the school…
Well, just go on and read the Half-Blood Prince and don’t forget to read the Order of the Phoenix yet before that book…lol!...
Hope you enjoyed reading!...

l've seen the movie last saturday at NCCC mall with elai, dhawell, karen, cj, donna, madel, erickson, joseph and matet...then, last sunday, i watched it again with my cousins...
i can say it's too much to watch again considering the amount of money you spend but i can prove that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is worth watching over and over and over again!...
here are the probable reasons:
1. the Hungarian Horntail scene...that was so far the best scene in the movie for me...that is, the first task...i have never imagined that the horntail moment of harry would be that dangerous but as you watch it, it'll make you hold your breath for about more than 5 minutes, actually...the scene where harry flies above the castle, when he nearly fell, nearly burned his firebolt, damn!...
2. the arrival of beauxbatons academy and durmstrang institute...beauxbatons has been ecompassed with pretty french gurls with their headmistress madame maxime...their very feminine entrance to the great hall caught the attention of gurls and guys alike... now gurls even love imitating their swaying moves with all those butterflies...then comes the handsome durmstrang guys followed by viktor krum and their headmaster igor karkaroff...their macho entrance with that blazing staff and fire makes it even more enchanting...then the dramatic entrance of the bulgarian quidditch team seeker who also happens to be studying in he school made all the gurls scream and freeze in their seats...
3. lord voldemort rising..."bone of the father unwillingly given...flesh of the servant willingly sacrificed...and blood of the enemy forcibly taken...with this, the dark lord shall rise again..." these are the lines of wormtail when he did his ritual of making voldemort rise again...that scene is quite dramatic and the rising of the dark lord is so cool...the summon of the death eaters through the dark mark, it's so essential...plus, i like the scene when voldemort almost forgot about harry...lol!...that was quite funny...
4. cedric diggory's death...exactly as i imagined it on the book, cedric's death really pained the hearts of the viewers... the way i've cried in the book is nothing as the way i've cried in the movie...cedric digorry landing lifeless on the graveyard with his eyes open was so emotional...i could cry over and over again as i watch it...
5. the yule ball...who could forget it?...krum inviting hermione, cedric inviting cho and harry, being with parvati patil...the dancing part is so nice and who couldn't miss hagrid and maxime?...that sucks but was way funny!...then the heated row between ron and hermione clearly shows the adolescence stage of the characters...
finally, who couldn't miss the hottest guy in the movie?...STANISLAV IANEVSKI, the bulgarian actor who played viktor krum...every gurl who have seen the movie can't help saying that they admire the gym enthusiast bulgarian a lot...
whew!...i admit, i'm kinda frustrated with the movie because there are a lot of scenes that i expected to see which were not shown in the film...the second task is quite boring and the maze in the third task did not contain the creatures that i was dying to see such as the blast-ended skrewt and of course, the sphinx...only viktor krum was the catch but he looks so good we can't blame him...lol!...then there were fewer scenes with voldemort
well, that was kinda frustrating but if you'll think of the possibilities of making it worth a watch and if you're just a naturally harry potter fanatic, definitely you will love this fourth sequel the way you loved the other prequels!...
HARRY POTTER & THE GOBLET OF FIRE definitely owns!...

er, not much of a blog, though...
i'm just who i am...i'm just who you wanted me to be...i live in a world of fairy tales where i try to pretend to be what i'm not but then i just end up snapping back to reality being who i really am...
i just can't figure out why tough girls like me get weak and hurt a lot by the people we love...
oh well, i guess it's just as fair as saying, "can i have the side of your donut?"

3. Pick up the pieces but never put them back
2. Feel the pain but never keep it
FINALLY...
1. Move on...
Trust me, it works...ÜÜÜ
Finally, I found someone that could make me feel at ease...Akasha the Queen of Pian...Nice abilities...Blink, Shadow Strike, Fan of Knives and Sonic Wave...Been using her all the time...Er, still a noobie though...hehehe...Then there was Chen the Holy Knight...He's a nice hero but i didn't quite like him because I didn't know how to use him...I'd rather stick with Akasha...I'm noobier with Chen...hahaha!...
We started playing random
So, after so many randoms, picks and all, I got stuck with the Bone Fletcher...He doesn't look good, though...He's skeletal...
Anyway, addiction...hmmm...Only DotA can convince me to go out of the house nowadays even if I do not have classes...Only DotA makes me forget my problems and even though I have appointments, when my friends say we'll play DotA, I'll cancel all for DotA...God I love this game...I'm always stuck in front of the computer surfing dotaportal.com for guides and item builds...Nice game...I love it totally!...I never thought I would spend my money for this kind of computer game...I admit, I'm getting addicted and I won't stop until i Meet my goal...
After meeting my goal, I still won't stop!...hahaha!...Find good DotA players in Boyztrek Jacinto...Cool!...
You've got to love Warcraft III-Defense of th Ancients!...ÜÜÜ

I'm not sure how..
Or because of who..
The days are as long as ever..
And the nights are even more lonely..
This picture of your face haunts me..
Why won't you let me be?
I thought I was doing fine..
And then I looked at the stars..
Because of you my heart is filled with scars..
The pain has become to real..
This is not fair to have to feel..
I miss you..
But I know what I have to do..
So I wipe away another tear..
Knowing my biggest fear has come true.
Today is the day I have to get over you.
Follows everything you want me to do
Gives you all the things I can afford
But you only took these things for granted.
By the time that I was getting serious
I knew that you were just playing with me
I never thought that it would end up like this
You broke my heart.
But now I realized I’m more happy without you
It’s the time to go out of your dark shadow
And do better things without you
Starting now and forever … GOODBYE!
it means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for,
but to care about.
To let go is not to fix,
but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more
Remember: The time to love is short

Just like a silent whisper, my heart longs for you
It may sound absurd and weird but that’s what I feel
You didn’t only hurt me once, you hurt me like twins
With a teardrop I cry thinking about my fears
Fear to be hurt, fear to be alone
Although I’m strong I become weak with you
Although I know how to fight, I’m willing to lose for you
I want to get over you, I want to forget you
I want to move on but how could I?
You are always around; you are always making me hold on to a wrong love
I wanna let go but each time I try to pull my hand away, you pull it back even harder
Your hold gets tighter every time I wanna pull it loose
I just wonder why you keep on doing this
You made a fool of me, you hurt me, you made me cry and yet you don’t want to let go of me
You stab my heart each time you’re with her but you don’t wanna see me with other guys
You’re being so unfair yet I tolerate your doings
I keep on thinking why am I doing all these sacrifices
Well maybe this is the only answer: I LOVE YOU
I love you although you hurt me
I love you although you made me cry
I love you although you make me feel stupid
I love because I just do and that won’t change even if I want to
My heart is closed with you inside
It’s hard to open it for others to fill
You locked it tight and you held the key
That’s why I feel like I’m lost with you all the time
I don’t know where this will bring us
I don’t know what will happen next
All I know is you’re in my heart
My thought runs with you
And all that I know is that until you won’t give me back the key to re-open my heart
I will always love you until my day ends

Okay, let’s skip those icky mushy stuff…why did I fall for you?...you wanna know?...well it’s because you made me do and I hated you for that!...I was in the midst of my happy life being your best friend then with just a snap of a finger, I fell for you wishing that you’ll catch me but you didn’t!...let’s say you did “partially”…nothing happened though…we’re still the best of friends…you still show me the same YOU that I’ve known before and I’m showing you the same ME you’ve seen before but now, my heart skips more than a beat whenever you do special things for me…but why do you do those things?...was it because you’re my best friend or you love me too?...you never told me you do but you always show me…hmmm…action speaks louder than words, I think…despite all those annoying things that you keep on doing, I don’t know, I’ve kept on loving you for that...hei, can you remember that promise that we made for each other?...well, if you’ve forgotten it, well, let me just remind you a bit…it’s not much of a great thing but it’s one reason why my life changed a lot!...we promised not to leave each other no matter what…we love each other but as the song goes, “we had the right love at the wrong time”…what wrong time?...for you it’s a wrong time but it’s the perfect time for me…okay girl, just keep quiet and keep on loving him he’ll notice soon…
Notice soon?...that soon came and went without a trace of difference in our relationship until one day I found out something dreadful!...you’ve got a new girl!...man, my heart was crushed!...all the things you did for me seem to flash before my eyes…all the things you told me, the promises…promises?...yeah!...your promise…you f****n forgot about our promise!...I never left you, but you did!...damn it was a disaster…but then you told me there’s nothing to worry about because there’s nothing between you and her…oohhhhhhhhh that was such a relief…at least you told me honestly about the two of you…at least you realized that each passing second is very crucial for me for I do not have any strength to approach you and ask you about it. We remained as we are and I kept on loving you wishing that somehow that thought will cross your mind.
Well guess what, moron!...that girl’s got friends who cannot quite keep a secret…know what I found out?...I found out the truth between you and her…the truth that broke my heart into a million pieces that I didn’t know if even God can mend it…I got stuck between doubt and trust…of course I trust you…I trust you enough to believe your stupid lies!...I doubted you 10% but I did trust you 90%...if you only knew how painful it is to have felt this way, maybe you will never dare touch my heart and crush it…but guess what?...I’ll stay as cool as I am and I will never let you know that I’ve been hurt…why should I?...you didn’t even bother to think of me when you hurt me…don’t worry, I’ll get over you soon…
I thought I was…damn!...I wasn’t planning to see you and talk to you but why the hell does destiny force us to meet?...and you know what?...everything bad I said about you seem to float away when I saw you smile at me and when I said hello, I realized I wasn’t really that over you…you still make my heart race, you still make my knees weak…you still make me feel stupid telling myself that just a smile and I am willing to forget everything…
GUESS THIS ISN’T GOODBYE, YET…
GUESS I STILL LOVE YOU FROM THE START…:’c

So I know when people are
Creeping about
These people are
Freaking me out (these days)
It’s getting hectic everywhere that I go
They won’t leave me alone
There’s things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can’t anyone see
I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x7]
I rock a
Lawsuit when I’m going to court
A white suit when I’m gettin’ divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I’m home alone
Talkin’ on the phone
Got an interview
With the rolling stone
They’re saying
“Now you’re rich and
Now you’re famous
And fake ass girls all know your names and
(Lifestyles) of the rich and famous
Your first hit are you ashamed?”
Of the life [x2]
Of the life we’re livin’
I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
Stop your messin’ around boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said everyone of my teachers
Lookout
You better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your way
We say
Where we’re coming from
We’ve already seen
The wealth that this life can bring
Now we’re expected everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know
I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
Just wanna live [x3]
I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]
I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Just wanna live [x3]
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone!

Oh things are gonna happen naturally
And taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
A little bird who'll sing about the magic that was you and me
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
Others only dream of the love that I love
See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
Others only dream of the love that I love
And with this silence brings a moral story more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy
you and I both loved what you and
I spoke ofand others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of
and it's okay if you have go away
just remember the telephone works both ways
and if I never ever hear it ring
if nothing else I'll think the bells inside have finally found you someone else and that's okay
cause I'll remember everything you sang
you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of words.
Thursday, February 03, 2005
Do the words I speak before you make you feel
That the love I have for you will see no ending?
Well, if you look into my eyes then you should know
that you have nothing here to doubt nothing to fear
And you can lay your questions down' cause if you'll hold me
We can fade into the night and you'll know
The world could die
And everything may lie
Still you shan't cry'
Cause time may pass
But longer than it'll last
I'll be by your side
Take my hand
And gently close your eyes
So you could understand
That there's no greater love tonight
Than what I've for you
Well, if you feel the same way for me
Then let go
We can journey to a garden no one knows
Life is short, my darling
Tell me that you love me
So we can fade into the night
And you'll know
The world could die
And everything may lie
Still you shan't cry'
Cause time may pass
But longer than it'll last
I'll be by your side
Forever by your side...
I want you to know
The world could lie
And everything may die
Still you shan't cry'
Cause time may pass
And everything will last
I'll be by your side
Forever by your side
So you won't cry...
