Pot calling the kettle black

Hi everyone! I was kind of expecting something nice today (since it's a Monday), read a good article or find something interesting. It looks like I'm going to express a little rambling which to start with I'd rather not talk about but I think the feeling I have about some issues have been put aside for a while and it's coming out of the pot boiling away. So let's plod along ok?

Being the captain of this little boat I do think about where this journey would sail in the end. This year I'm going to change the domain and wondering do I have to keep the Bae Yong Joon idea. Sure I started it out for him but after a while I am seriously considering to reshape it using my own  after all I have to move on that is if I have to continue.

I touched on this aspect because to be honest I am sick of hearing grunts on YJssi, the marketing company, all these deal on how the projects are handled. Why I'm annoyed? In my opinion those who live near him or he tend to see more in terms of launching projects (the market) are very lucky. If you are  a true fan that would be bliss but for those who live far, they are not so lucky at all. Plus let's not forget this is show business, there is certain amount of politics and selling of these and that which unfortunately the unpleasant  side. People have the choice to buy them or  join in any event. It's your prerogative. If you think you have enough of all these, then resign and do things you'd like or forgotten to do.

On my part after realizing about the Tour Packages my excitement went. Do you think the fans have come to their senses that the time have come for people to better use their money than go to any more of these tours?  If they offer it for free I don't mind at all. I'd rather wish BYJ would focus on doing more projects and truly get a grip on how things have been handled. I still want him act in the big screen or be a farmer if that's all he'd really want to become in the end but this franchising is a bit of an old tactic for a man/actor like him who have been there, done this and that.

I am actually fed up and if others are then something isn't right. Perhaps it's because I have been a victim myself or caught red handed in this situation. Not literally but for continuously hoping for something which might not even come or happen in the end. I have joined the 'Bae family' a bit late and  these events are  new experiences to me as a fan but for those who have been there longer I understand the sentiments and disappointments.

There are only two sides of the coin here. The drama which made him famous and loved may start or end a what seem to be a very long winter story.

Dear Hyds:
Greetings on a beautiful though cold monday morning.
Brava for your stand! Yes, you should move on, whatever is your choice, and have your own life.
I understand how you feel about the comercializations and commodification of BYJ products.
Please read my Knol by google searching "Koreanization of Philippine and Asian Art". You might be able to resolve certain issues with insights from cultural studies.
I hope you have a nice work week.
Sarang Hamnida,
josephine

Dear Hyds,

I respect you for voicing your concerns. Like Josephine, I feel this BYJ journey should be joyous and fulfilling to us. Our time is precious too and we should spend it on areas that we feel are most rewarding.

Whatever decision you make, I am sure you will do well on. Best of luck!

love ... Jaime

Dear Josephine,
Thanks for the invite. I haven't got problems with acquiring things as I try to be sensible in making decisions. If it's a want I think a hundred times before getting it if I really have to. Some people get on my nerves but I'm trying to ignore them now or even be in the situation. Thanks.
love,
Hyds

Dear Jaime,
One thing for sure I am not backing out yet but I can't say I am happy hearing how things have gone in the Bae front. I am probably still protective of YJssi that it gets to me when I hear about some people moaning.
If the upcoming tour doesn't appeal to some then I don't see the point of them talking about it nor attending the event then organizers might have to rethink for a sensible option.
Also if family would like to see YJssi then I'm happy for them. Others should respect that too. We all are given options in this life and it's up to us to make the right decision.
My BYJ journey have been a good one and still strong. I just have stay on still and clear waters. Thanks a lot Jaime.

Love,
hyds

Hi, sister HYDS,
If I have said anything, in any of my rants on American Bae Fan, which has upset you, or any of our dear sisters, in any way, please accept my apologies. I am even newer to the family than you, of course, but I have read some things on other (nameless) sites which have annoyed me, too. I know how you must be feeling, overall. I may just be feeling the same way, a bit. Dear girl, you do whatever you feel is right for you; we are family, after all, and will support you. I know I will. You must follow your heart in this matter. Take care.
Love, Anna

Dear Anna,
No it's not you dear..so don't apologies. I read your writings and you are completely entitled to your opinion and I respect that. I am not offended by any of it. So we are OK. :-)
I know it was a bad idea looking at sites early in the morning. I learned that now. I am still a Baefan, always will be. I know things like this come up but all I could do now is put it behind me and look forward.
Take care.
Love,
hyds

Dear HYDS,
It's fine. I understood what you meant. Thank you. You have been so kind and caring to me since I began to comment on your blog, and I am grateful to you for making me feel at home in the BYJ family. I will always be his fan, too, In spite of little annoyances, (not from our Baesisters, of course), and his absence from our lives, right now. It is difficult at times to know that many fans are not happy with circumstances, at the moment, but that is where we can help each other, with encouragements and love, like family should. You have done that for me, and I hope I have done same for you and many other family members. 'hugs'. Anna
