Korean Drama Review: Dream High 2


If you are able to watch Dream High 1, then you must be familiar with Kirin High School of Art – the school that aims to produce the top Korean idols. This is where everything happened.

Let me introduce you to the characters which, I considered, played a big roll.

Rian played by Park Ji-Yeon
For me, I think she’s the center of the story. She’s pretty and hard working. On the outside, she looks fierce plus the heavy eye make-up, but if you’ve get to know her, she’s playful and gentle. She loves her mother so much even though they always have quarrels. Even though she’s part of the popular girl group HerShee, she’s like a normal girl when in love. She gets jealous and insecurities. But when she cares, she really cares. Her dream is to become an A-Rated actress. However, due to lack of acting skills, she’s being ranked as B. What to do Rian?

Shin Hae Sung played by Kang So-Ra
She’s called the ugly duckling. Rian even said, she’s the epitome of plainness. Yes, she’s the total opposite of Rian. She barely even have make ups. She dressed simply. She’s just a normal student on Kirin Art School plus her intellectual skills. But remember, Kirin Arts School is not merely relying on academics, you should have talent too. Unfortunately, she was embarrassed many times for her unpleasant voice and she doesn’t even dance well. Poor Hae Sung! But even though she lacks skills, she still works hard and tries hard to do things the best way she can. Whenever she’s stressed, she solves math problems. Like seriously? She’s a bit weirdo. Her dream is to become a singer. But what will you do when the song doesn’t want you Shin Hae Sung?

JB played by JB
He’s a cutie. Oh well, I think his role is not so challenging for him because he acts very natural. He has a good, rhythm and blues voice. He dances well. He’s like a Neyo-Usher type. He’s stubborn. He does things his way. He seems to be cold at times but his weakness is girl’s tears. Bwahahaha! (Evil laugh) Isn’t it cute? He’s part of Eden – a boy duo. His dream is to become Korea’s superstar. When he likes a thing, he’ll treasure it so much. He’ll treat it as part of his life, maybe as his life. But nothing lasts forever, when the things you cherish the most were taken away from you, how are you going to let it go JB?

Jin Yoo Jin played by Jinwoon
Rock spirit! That’s his favourite line. Yes, he’s a lover of music – specifically rock music. He turned his back from his parents due to an unfavourable childhood memories. He was once a child star but he considered it as part of his history and doesn’t want to reoccur. He doesn’t have any plan to be famous, not at all; he just wants to play his kind of music. But what if the only way to compete for your special someone’s heart is to be a Super Idol, will you grab it or continue to live by your principle, Yoo Jin?

Si Woo played by Park Seo-Joon
OMG! I like him. Seriously, I find him cute and hot? Lol! That’s the reason why I think he’s a ladies’ man here. Yah, he’s a player. He takes life so easy but he is sweet. I think that what makes players cool. They might treat everyone special but doesn’t it feel good when someone makes you feel special? Uhm, yes. Lol! Oh Si Woo, you can’t please anyone. What will you do when someone you consider incompetent beats you on the heart of someone you truly like?

Nana played by Hyorin
She’s the singer of HerShee and we can’t throw an argument on that. Oh God! She has a powerful voice. Aside from that, she’s very pure at heart. She doesn’t have any greed. For her, what matters is her voice and singing has been her life. But Nana, what will happen to you if one day you woke up and you can’t sing anymore?

Director’s Daughter Lee Seul played by Jung Yeon-Joo
She’s cold. At first look, she looks like a person who’s born out of sadness. One question she asked was, “What if the person that you really like keeps doing things that you hate?” and I myself can’t help but think of the answer. She’s rebellious toward her father but she adores him so much.

Unforgettable Moments
1.       Kim Soo Hyun’s cameo role which reminds me of Dream High 1. Yes, he was Song Sam Dong – the world renowned singer.
2.       IU’s cameo role which reminds me of Dream High again and how cute Kim Pil Suk and Jason’s love story was.
3.       Suzy Bae’s cameo role which reminds me of the brattish-but-kind-hearted Go Hye Mi. She’s pretty, really pretty.
4.       JB and Hae Sung on church. This is one of the sweetest scenes I watched. Can you imagine when your super-duper crush fell asleep on your lap? Not only that, when you fell asleep on your super-duper crush’s shoulder? Then when you woke up, he was singing a song for you? Oh my! I can’t imagine how I would feel. Thinking about it gives me chills! Lol! Happy chills, though.
5.       Director’s daughter performing on stage and gave her father a balloon. Okay, so this scene made me cry. I think I’m just weak on family tie scenarios. I had witnessed how cold-hearted she became because of her hatred to her father but when she went near her father and handed him the balloon during the performance, it moved me. *tears*

Overall Verdict

Story – Very Good
Artists – Very Good
OST - Excellent

Korean Movie Review: The Flu

Casts: 
Jang Hyuk as Kang
Ji-Koo Soo-Ae as Kim In-Hae
Cha In Pyo as South Korea President 

Verdict: 
This film depicts the outbreak of bird flu on Bundang – a suburban in South Korea not far from Seoul. It came from a cargo shipped from Hong Kong containing several illegal immigrants of which one was infected by bird flu. When the cargo arrived in Korea, all the people inside were dead except for one – Moon Sai, a Filipino. The mob’s younger brother who opened the cargo was the first carrier of the virus. The virus spreads fast and should be stopped as soon as possible before it reaches other cities in South Korea. At first, the symptom of the bird flu is just like an ordinary flu but it has no cure. The person infected will cough until it spits out blood and there will be red marks all over the skin until he/she gave his/her last breathe. The plague brought ruckus all over the place. The government and medical experts work together to stop the outburst of the horrible disease. 

In my own point of view, these are the major characters that represent the diverse people of the society. 

Kang-Ji Koo is part of the rescuer team and is very passionate towards his duty. Even if the situation is horrendous, like flying bullets everywhere, he still chose to help and rescue his fellows. He is a person who would not think twice to sacrifice even his own life for the sake of others. Let’s hope and be thankful for people that live this way. 

Kim In Hae is a doctor by profession and a single mother. As a single parent, we all know how hard it is to raise a child and at the same time, how precious the child is for her. I think there’s no mom in this world who would want to suffer her child. Unfortunately, her only daughter Kim In Rae was infected by the bird flu. Her only hope is to produce an antibodies from the survivor of the cargo that brought the virus in South Korea. When the survivor was caught, tests were done immediately to check if he can really produce the antibodies. However, time is playful; Kim In Rae’s condition is getting worse, she’s dying. Dr. In Hae didn’t wait for the result of the test even if it means breaking the rule set by the head doctor. She got the serum and injected it to In Rae. As a mother, you would risk everything for the sake of your child. In Rae recovered from the flu and has become the source of antibodies for the thousands of people infected. By the way, the only survivor was killed by the mob as a revenge for killing the mob’s younger brother. 

President has the hardest role. As the president of a country, you should always consider the situation of the people. President faced a lot of weighing pro’s and con’s. The first plan was to isolate the place and gather all the people in one place. The infected and the uninfected will be separated. Some of the uninfected people are complaining as to why they need to stay on the camp when in fact they are not infected. To stop the epidemic virus, there was an inhumane order made – burn the infected people. This was done so as the virus will only be isolated on the area. Even if there are decisions that break his heart, he has to make a choice. He must. That is his sole responsibility. 

The film is very realistic. The personalities of the characters are natural. This is one of the best films I had watched so far. Thumbs up for this!

The Reason Behind My Film Reviews

Hi everyone! Let me introduce this part of my blog and share a brief history of how this started. 

I am a lover of Asian movies – Japanese, Thai and Korean. I most love Korean movies and series. So yes, I am a fan of Hallyu. It all started when I watched Lee Min Ho’s City Hunter. Come on, it’s Lee Min Ho! Like, who’ll not fall for him? So, after being captured by Min Ho as Johnny, I watched all his other series. I even read reviews and news about him. Then suddenly, I got interested to watch other series as well. I even look for “Top Korean Drama Series” things online. I don’t know, but for me, Koreans are so cute. I mean, their lifestyle and Seoul are wonderful. I really want to visit Seoul someday and go to those cafes I often see on the series I watched. Sounds funny huh? But really, I’m being genuine here.

Aside from being a fan of drama series, I am also a lover of not-a-happy-ending movie. Hahahah! No, I’m not bitter! I just find it moving and more impactful. I also love watching horror movies and on that note, who’s the best? Isn’t it Asian Horror Movies? Exactly! So I enjoyed watching tear-jerkers and heart-thumping movies. Am I weird? No, I’m just being me.

So one day, I realized to write a review with every series and movie I watched. This is not to brag how many movies I already watched, but it’s a way for me as well to remember the story behind those movies. I am not so good on long-term memory. Hahaha!

I hope you’ll enjoy reading my reviews and keep on supporting the film industry. Fighting!

SK Election Postponement – Bitter Sweet Reality?!

I have nothing against the government – in fact, I believe in the government. However, the postponement of the SK Election which was passed on thru the third reading in the House of Representative really broke my heart. If I were on the shoe of a teenager who volunteered to be registered as an SK voter, it would be a big “WTF?!” First, it’s 100% obvious that our government system is still not so into technology. The COMELEC still went through manual processing of papers for registration. Also, there is no comfortable waiting area to house hundreds of people while waiting for the registration to be done. It would be good of they have free Wi-Fi zone or free snacks to fill in the hungry stomachs of these kids. Can you give it? Or you don’t want to give it? The “first-come-first-serve” basis, also, contributes to the pressure of push and pull in the line. So, just like in marathon, to finish the line, you have to be in the COMELEC earlier than the sun. The worst thing, I’ve known people who went there the night before the day of another office day, only to be given a “priority number” by nearly noon. How was that dearest bill passers? On another note, if I am one of the candidates running for the chairman or councillor position – postponing election in less than 30 days before the “Election Day” is SUICIDAL. Come on! You don’t prepare campaign materials the day before the election! Postponing the election would only mean that all the conceptualizing, planning and speeches will gone to waste. The most painful part is gathering up all the supports and deep-diving to gain enough confidence is USELESS. The question, “Bill passers, are you willing to give a reimbursement of all the campaign materials printed and made? Can you compensate for the moral damages caused?” I know that the postponement of the SK Election has a good goal – it is mainly for the reconstruction of the Sangguniang Kabataan. It’s good, actually, BETTTER. But they should’ve rolled out the bill several months before the election. They should’ve planned and brought the topic one year ago, not on less than a month before the Election Day. Gallons of sweat and nth hours were wasted. Isn’t it unfair? Whoever passed the bill, try to put your shoe to the shoes of the SK Members. EMPATHY.

Diploma


I admit I am not perfect but I strive to be one. I appreciate things easily but not people. I have a boundary line between people and things. I have a standard of beautiful things and beautiful people, and of course, it differs a lot – a huge difference. Now, why am I saying this? I actually do not know either. I just feel like blogging my thoughts right now.
During my student life days, I’ve been through what other students went through. I celebrated the most popular event of the semester, “The Hell Week” I also asked the question, “Why do we only have 24 hours a day?!” Stuffs like a normal student had experienced. However, the feeling I had when I finally executed my final march in the red carpet of XU Gym, it was unforgettable. I feel like I’m flying. I want to shout out to the world that “I AM A SURVIVOR!”
Then here comes my 1st job. I realized a lot of things.
My diploma is just a paper to be framed and hanged in the wall of our house not unless you’ll go out, look for a job and work to earn a living. Yes, you are a college graduate, but did you use your profession to earn and be independent? If not, then your diploma is just like any other home decoration – nothing more, nothing less.
Your in depth knowledge in school is quiet USELESS. No matter how great your grades are, even if you memorized all the theories, all the formulae – it’s nothing. In the real world of business, 90% of your performance depends on what you learn in your work. The remaining 10% is your 1st level knowledge.
Your educational attainment is just a title – not unless you act according to your degree. Even if you have a master’s, a doctorate and whatever degree you have, if your attitude is lower than life, than you’re considered to be no one.
It’s not a matter of what school or university you’re into, it’s a question of whether you lived up the values that your school has been inculcating in you. Even if you’re in the most prestigious university, but your thoughts and deeds are thrash, than certainly, YOU ARE A TRASH.
So, if you stand in front of me right now and say that you’re a doctor in whatever field, I don’t care. I’ll not judge you by that. I would be more curious on how you handle tough situations.
In the end, it’s not your education that defines who you are, it’s your attitude.

Crap In My Face


While the jeepney I'm riding into was waiting for the vacant seats to be filled up, I was staring at nothingness. Suddenly, a guy stepped in and sat across me. From my observation, I guess that guy is around 5'8 tall, wearing a white body fit shirt and jersey shorts - that college basketball-varsity-college-hunky-cool-dude type of guy. I would say he has an appeal and he is charming. Sitting beside him is a woman - a plain, older than him, motherly looking woman. At first, I didn't noticed the woman beside that hunk because my attention was all captured by him. It was only when the woman handed a face towel to him did I acknowledge her existence. I told myself, "Oh, what a very supportive mother he has!" I enjoyed looking at them because I find them cute as a mother and son tandem.  Deep inside, I even said, "Ay! He's a Mama's boy. How cute! I pity whoever her daughter-in-law will be. Bwahaha!" So, when the time the konduktor asked for the fare, she said while facing the cutie hunk, "Magkano nga pamasahe BEB?" I WAS STARTLED. I forgot how much were the coins I'm counting in my palms. Did I heard it right? Did she called him "BEB"? I think I'm wrong. Maybe I heard it incorrectly. Maybe it's not BEB, maybe it's BEN. Maybe his name is BEN. I hope so. He answered, "Eight." After a few minutes, the hunky said, "Manong, para ho." He turned to the woman and said, "Tara na BEB." BEB?! REALLY. They call each other BEB. Not "anak" and "mama". SHE'S NOT HIS MOTHER and HE'S NOT HER SON. I was shocked. I had mixed emotion inside. I don't know what to think. When they got off the jeepney, the guy grabbed the woman's hand and they cross the road...


My youth was insulted. Age doesn't matter. Love is blind. This is bullcrap.

My Tuesday Story

So, there's this guy in the office, late 20's, seven work stations away from me. I noticed his existence several months ago. I noticed that he is cute two weeks ago. This morning, while I was about to put some eye drops, a voice from behind said: "Hi. There's something I want to ask about your report." SHOCKS! It was him. It was the first time I saw him up close. He is not cute, HE IS GORGEOUS. Those black, deep eyes that can melt every girl's heart. That nose moulded like the Greek Gods’, his scent, everything. It feels like I'm looking at a superhero. It took for me like 10 seconds to respond and said, “Yes?” (Of course, with a very soft and demure voice). While he was discussing stuffs, looking at my monitor, I am also busy studying his face. Lord, is this an angel? After a few minutes, he left but his fragrance remained. I don’t know if it’s just my nose but I think the scent of him was stuck in my nostrils. Hahahaha! Since he is one of the recipients of my report, I know his full name and YES. I want to confirm if the beautiful face that I saw was real. Before I went home, I searched his account in Facebook. While the page was loading, I feel so excited. After one moment, I wanna jump! I WANT TO JUMP AND KICK THE MONITOR. The profile picture is a baby - cute, cuddly baby boy. HIS BABY. He is happily married. So my world drifted. I FELT SAD.


This angel is real but this angel is not for me. </3

Mother's Day When Mom's Away

Another Mother's Day celebration this year, tomorrow. Another moment that reality confronts me of the fact that my Mama is far away from me ---- FOREVER.

A mother is she who can take the place of all others. - Cardinal Mermillod

She had a lot of dreams for me, actually, more than I have for myself. She always put my happiness first, even before hers. She my best friend. I can comfortably tell her everything. She is my adviser. She knew when I have a problem. She provided me solutions for my problems. She is my partner. We sang together, we laugh together and we even stroll around together. :)

And just like anybody else, I can proudly shout to the world that my Mama is the best mom in the world. I will not ask for anybody else than her. How I wish she's still with us right now. I should have treat her something special. We should have gone to a beautiful place, eat delicious food, go shopping. How I wish...

I miss her a lot, I miss her everyday..


I love you Mama. Blowing you a kiss to heaven. Happy Mother's Day!

Sometimes.Something.Someone.

We wish that all the time, everything is fine. We want everything to be like paradise. We want everyone to love us. We hope that everything is alright. But this is not a fairyland. Sometimes, you will feel sad. There are times you will be hurt. There are things you cannot achieve. Some things are not meant to be. There is no guarantee that the one you love will love you back, forever. Someone will come in your life and someone has to leave. In reality, sometimes you have to cry, somethings got to change and someone has to let go. This is the real world.

Farewell On The 8th of May

When I woke up this morning, I felt that this day is not just another Wednesday. Am I missing someone’s birthday? Any meeting? No.  No. All throughout the course of my preparation to the office, I had a deep thought. What is something special to you 8th of May?

When I arrived at the office, I opened my computer, checked my mails and checked my social networking sites (SNS) – sssshhhh! News feed… I saw a photo of a young couple eating mango float. I then thought, “Oh how sweet!” And BOOOOOMMM! I remember now, I can clearly remember now what is so special today.

It was the same day on 2010. Summer’s heat is burning. I’m craving for something sweet and cold. I’m sick of fruit salad, fruit shake, fruit juice. I want something new. I want mango float. At that time, I’m “exclusively hanging-out” with a guy, the boy-next-door type of guy. I admit I like him the first time I saw him. He’s playing basketball at that time and there’s something in him that magnetize me. I told him I want to eat something like mango float. He told me that he also wants to eat one. After a few minutes, he’s standing outside my house. He told me to come with him and we’ll make mango float. EFFORT. That’s what I called it.

While eating what we made, I constantly take a glimpse of him. The way he eats. The way he talks. The way he smiles at me. The way he laughs. I know, I know … I have fallen for him. Everything is wonderful. Everything around me is beautiful. I appreciate all the things around me. I felt like flying. I felt like an angel. My heart is so light. How I wish this day would not end. How I wish every day would be like this. 

Later that day, we hugged each other and bid good bye. I felt something strange. I knew something’s wrong. When he arrived home, he called me and asked if I was able to arrive home safely. We exchanged text messages. After an hour, I haven’t received any response from him. I texted him again. No response. I then texted him: “Good night. Thank you for the time and mango float. I enjoyed it a lot! See you tomorrow.”  Enter. Sent.

After 5 minutes, at 11:59 PM, my phone beeps: One Message Received

I excitedly opened it…

“As much as I want to see you and be with you, I can’t. We can’t be together. I love you, I really do. This will be my last message. I am very sorry.”

And comes 12:00 midnight.

With tears, I have to say goodbye to him and to May 8.

Miyerkules, Marso 27, 2013

Mr. Right

Right now, I'm honestly bored. I'm tired of watching movies and so my plan is to identify the characteristics of the man who can take my breath away. Seriously, I'm still confused but I'll try to be honest and straight-forward as much as I could to build up my man.


Physically, I want a guy as tall as 5'8 - 5'11 ft with a good body-built. You know, someone who can fight over a bunch of pranksters. So like, when I'm walking in the middle of the night, which I love to do, and for instance, a drunkard asshole crossed my way and try to play a fool around me, my man will be there to rescue me and with just one kick, that monster will be gone. The superman - spiderman - captain america type of hero.

For the hair, I like guys with clean-cut hairstyle - may it be spike, v-cut, shark, as long as no hair is passing through his ears, it's fine with me. That's how I define "clean cut". I like it more if at times he'll wear a cap. It's cute, right?! :)

I find guys cool with a pierce on their right or left ear. Take note: one pierce only and stud earrings. Most preferably, small diamonds. I don't like those black flat button look a like stuff. For me, it looks... dirty?! Hahaha!

I appreciate guys with watches too. For me, time is important so we should spend it wisely.

Skin tone? Hmm... Fair complexion will do. Actually, I really don't mind. Hahaha! :) What matters to me more is his value of hygiene. I like guys who value personal hygiene more than friends. This only means that he'll not go to bed without taking a shower. As if?! Who would want a stinky smell in bed? Eww. Definitely not me!

Lastly, one major turn on for me, physically, is a guy's sense of fashion. I want a guy with simple yet hot and strong appeal. I don't like guys that overdressed. That's a NO, NO. Too highschooler. So gay. a guy that doesn't need a top-branded shirts and pants to look expensive. A guy, even only on his slippers, still looks elegant and cool. Simple yet attractive. :)

I find guys hot when they are into sports such as basketball, soccer, taekwondo. I would be very supportive and will cheer him to the max once he is on game. I'll feel very proud. I can even imagine myself, sitting in one of the benches, basketball court is in front of me, then my man has the turn for the make or break shot. When he lifts the ball in the air, throws it, it went through the ring and they won! :) He'll then come near me, with a very happy face, gives me a kiss and says that he'll be back in a while. Sweet right? :)

I like guy who is into music also. One who can play a musical instrument, preferably a guitar. One who'll not be ashamed to sing me a song although he doesn't have a golden voice. A guy, when dedicating a song for me, really means it. A guy who can put meaning to every lyrics of the song as if it is written for us, for me. A guy who'll sing with me. But it would be nice when that guy can compose a song for me, right?

I want a guy who knows how to swim. Because I love to swim and I'm not 100% confident in swimming, I want him to be my life guard-coach. :)

I want a guy who loves to travel. I've always dream of travelling and I want to do it with him. I want to see beautiful places and be in different places with him.

I want a guy who'll give me time to spend with my friends and insists on picking me up when I'm about to go home. Even though I'll say , "No, I'm fine. I can go home by myself.", he'll not quit, but instead, go to where I am and watch over me.

I want a guy who'll never get tired of worrying if I was able to arrive home safely. A guy who'll only sleep peacefully once I've fallen asleep first.

I want a guy who will spoil me but will not let anything bad happen to me.

A guy who will not get mad at me when I get drunk but instead, will take care of me and bring me home safely.

A guy who will not take advantage of my weakness to fulfill his satisfaction.

A guy that will not get bored in greeting "good morning" and saying "good night".

A guy who will introduce me to his friends with head up high and proud ambiance as if he is the luckiest guy alive because I'm his girl.

A guy that will not dare compare me to his pasts.

A guy who'll be worthy of being prideless.

A guy who'll have the courage to introduce me to his family and if situation calls, will fight for me no matter what.

A guy that will never break his promise.

A guy who'll always be there even in my downturns.

A guy who'll appreciate my looks even during my bad hair days.

A guy who'll never forget my birthday, our monthsaries and anniversarries.

A guy that will say the truth even if it hurts.

A guy that can mingle with my friends, play with my brothers and cousins and talk with my Tita's.

A guy that never make me cry not unless the day he'll propose to me.

A guy that'll be a good father to our children.

A guy that loves his mother so much.

A guy who have a dream and goal.

A guy that will love me more as days passed by.

To this guy, I know you're out there somewhere. I'll patiently wait until the day that we'll meet. Please take care of yourself. I hope to see you soonest and build our dreams together.

To My Future Hubby

Dearest You,

Hi! How are you? I hope you're doing good for the past years in your life. I hope you're physically fit and healthy. I hope you are well-groomed and feeling excited, as much as I'm feeling right now, to meet me, your future wifey. I have been busy these past few months and so I don't have much time to mold my love life but don't worry, I'm fine. I'm not the type of girl who'll commit to someone for the sake of "having a boyfriend", no I'm not that type. Actually, I avoided commitments because I don't want to intrude my studies with false relationships because I'm preparing for our future. i hope you too is also doing the same. Now that I'm through with my college studies, maybe we can meet already, get to know each other and slowly put up the foundation for our lifetime relationship. I have no idea where you are right now and what's your personality, name and such but I want you to know that no matter who you are, I will love you beyond your imperfections. I'll be writing more letters for you in case the time has not yet come for our roads to cross.

I am patiently waiting until you find me.

Lovingly yours,
Ms. Kristina Cassandra Escalderon

A Broken Hearted Girl

“I want to be free …''
It was the statement I’m afraid to hear from him. It sounds awful, just like a lamentation around. It took for him a second to say those words yet for me it seemed an hour where every syllabication is being indulged in my ear through my veins then to my heart like a needle pricking it. I can still remember that day. I thought that conversation will refresh the week long less communication of our twelve months affair. But I was so wrong … totally wrong. That talk marked the end in our relationship. 
 
It was my eighteenth birthday. I never expected that on that day, I will not only open another chapter in my life but I will go through it with someone. 
 
This person has been my friend since the summer of that year. We usually beep each other and sometimes he came by our house just to sit down and talk about life and its surprises. He was just an ordinary friend whom I love to talk with, laugh with and hang-out with. He had a girlfriend and I was trying to move on from a heart break. I haven’t noticed that he is filling up the emptiness inside. The friendship I offered to him vanished. It was replaced with something else. He was an ordinary person in my life that suddenly became special. I don’t know where to put my self in that situation that time for I know that he was owned by somebody else. However, I’m trying to run away from him to avoid being the talk of the town but he is doing stuffs that give me reason to stay and keep in touch.

Until that day, my day where gone are the days of lollipops and dolls … it was the day he opened up his feelings. I never wish for that moment to come yet it sound so good. I decided to give my trust to him on that day. It was a mistake but I never regret with what I have done. I received rumors that he and his ex girlfriend were still together. I calmed myself and confront him about this. He made immediate action and officially broke up with that girl. He cut whatever connection they had. I knew it was a hard thing for him but he have to decide. With that, I would assure him that he will not regret of having me as part of his life. I learned to love him more as days passed by.

One day, while I was checking my social networks, I unintentionally dropped to his account. I read a message that torn my heart into shattered pieces … he was going out with this girl coming from another school. That moment, it seemed as if I was carrying the biggest burden in my back. I would rather suffer from a physical pain than the pain my heart is feeling right now …

Reader’s note:

The heart of a young lady speaks as she reveals the pain she felt from her love … This note was found by her friend as she checked the files saved by this young lady.
It was an unfinished note … four hours after typing this, her friend found her lying on the floor, breathless … pale … dead.

Summer Love '09

“You are the reason that I breathe…

You are the reason that I still believe …

You are my destiny … JAI HO!”


I’m currently listening to my music player while my mind is running through one thought – the thought of HIM and nothing else. I can still recall everything that happened. One month had passed since I received that heart – breaking message. It was June 1, 2009; evening … I was waiting for his message when suddenly my phone beeps. It was the person I haven’t heard anything about for five days, the person I have been waiting for. He texted me at last … the last. 
 
He broke up with me … 
 
I was in the state of confusion, pain and tears. I ran in my room and locked myself up. I want to be alone. I want to convince myself that I’m only dreaming and if I were, I want somebody to wake me up from this nightmare. But I’m wrong; I’m not dreaming … it was for real. My baby left me …

I like the way he played basketball, I like the way he stand. I like the way he talk. I like him. Blue jersey, white shoes … good enough to catch my attention. I like him the first time I saw him and I thought it would end there. Unfortunately, they have had lost the game but for me they are the winner – he won my attention. The second time around, he is in green jersey and white shoes … and I like him more. They lost again but it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the second chance I saw him. I thought it was it. Period. But again, I’m wrong. Fate provides the answer. I got his number from a very good friend of mine and I tried to send him a message. I don’t have any intention than to be his friend. It was late in the evening so I was about to sleep when my phone beeped and it was him. He replied and we exchanged messages. That night marked the beginning of my wonderful summer – one that is very unforgettable. April 17, 2009 might be pain staking but he’s worth the pain. The following days, we texted each other, start seeing each other, talk as if we have known each other for quite sometime, laugh with each other … All those memories are preserved in my heart and it’ll always be here. ♥♥♥

He is so kind, so sweet and a real man. I’m so lucky that I got the chance to meet him and be with him for even a short span of time. He treated me like a baby, like a princess, like a queen. I miss the way we were. I miss the times when he combed my hair. I miss the times when he hugged me. All those times we exchange talks and laughter. I miss the times when he’ll remind me to eat well. I miss the times when he called over the phone just to ask if I’m already home. I totally miss him so much …:(

Thank you for the one month of wonderful memories. Thank you for being so good to me. Thank you for being so natural and loving me for who I am. Thank you for letting me feel the real happiness and teaching me the idea that love is all about sacrifices. Thank you so much.

I’m tired … I just want you to know that you will always occupy a part of me.

I am now letting you go. It’s time to open up new chapter of our lives. For the last time, I want to shout to the world that I LOVE YOU …♥
