BYJ Update

[Sports Hankook: 2010-07-16 06:06]
He has been in the States for 15 days.. plans to visit Hawaii.
It has been confirmed that Bae Yong Joon went abroad and has been traveling around the States for fifteen days..
Bae Yong Joon is working on his schedule while traveling the States including San Francisco. It has been known that he is working on another future plan while filming the CF and pictorial. His agent, Keyeast said, “He will stay in the States until the end of July. Because his personal matters are also included in the itinerary other than his official activities, it is making his trip longer.”
Bae Yong Joon plans to visit Hawaii while staying in the States. Ironically, The Wonder Girls will have a concert on the 16th and 17th. That’s why there is a careful speculation that he might go to their concert.
His agent Keyeast collaborated with the Wonder Girls’ agent JYP Entertainment for the drama ‘Dream High’. So, the rumor that he might attend the concert to work with Park Jin Young in full scale is persuasive. Someone related to the entertainment industry said, “He went to the Park Jin Young’s concert even before he made an announcement that he would work with PYJ. It’s a part where his detailed character stands out as a businessman. It looks like he will draw the blue print that Keyeast will pursue in the future while he stays in the States for one month.”
His agent is in a cautious position. On the 15th, in a phone conversation with someone related to Keyeast, he/she talked carefully by saying, “He has been in San Francisco until recently. I need to check again whether he went to Hawaii or not. I can’t release any information now about the kind of filming that was processed.”

A Blessing

Hi everyone! I hope your Monday is perfectly fine. The weather is not very happy but rain is quite welcome these days as we were having long spells of good weather. The crops would certainly love it.

I have been meaning to share to you  a wonderful news but I have waited for a little while. I am delighted to inform you that my husband and I are expecting our first child which is due in January.
I hope this news has found you in good spirits and would wish us all the best. Thank you.

think blue

Today has been quite challenging for me. I was working on white balance and got stuck with tungsten..I guess I'm running out of creative ideas. However despite several attempts on various subjects I decided to settle on flowers (again). I actually like them plus they're handy.

Above was edited using HDR while the first was the original shot. I wonder which of the two you prefer.

feeling pink..

I have been working on my module today and hoping to finish it this month. It's taking me longer than I thought but it looks like there's some light in the horizon. Would it be the same in Baeland? Has the rumor reach you of YJssi's trip to LA? If it's true it would be great if we see him and know what the trip is all about.  While waiting I leave you the photos I took today. :-)

a new day...

Hi there! Beginning of another working week and as for me I'll spend the couple of days resting after the weekend.
I wasn't able to make a comment on YJ's new hair style the last time. I actually like this one as it reminds me of Junsang plus it suits him really. Here's a photo from BYJ mobile for July lifted from BYJ Gallery by miemi. Thanks.
I hope your week will be productive..

Two pennies worth

These few days have been hard seeing what had happened to PYH.. I tried to move one and actually with my deepest respect refrained from not talking nor showing any more sad images. I'd like to remember him as the cheerful Sang-hyuk in WLS but what really got me is the mystery that brought his young life to an end.

It's been speculated that depression was a factor but later on the news revealed that alcohol was the main culprit. In my opinion a clear minded/normal person who just drank so much would likely make himself paralytic and eventually get alcohol poisoning in which case he would then be brought to a hospital but if lucky would just have a miserable hangover the day ahead which means he'd be in bed feeling sorry for what he did. But a person suffering from a mental illness such as depression combined this with alcohol would certainly produced a catastrophic result- one is suicide. With PYH this could be the case.

Why am I delving on this matter when in fact I should have left the whole thing out? I couldn't as I am too close to the issue and for my peace of mind I'd like to air what I feel about this. Few months ago I had bouts with the illness. Coming from a culture which shoved this thing under the carpet plus knowing people who actually asked why you feeling that way made things even worst. You continue living as if things are fine, put a happy face, bombard yourself with errands which you can't certainly cope then comes a traumatic experience which you try to endure. One day somebody said something and the world fell apart. Days of crying became weeks then months. You feel so low that your brain couldn't handle it anymore, no joy could uplift your spirit, and you feel so alone and nobody wants you or needs you. You feel like a failure and all the good things you did in the past didn't matter as if they didn't exist at all. It becomes a cycle and it feeds itself everyday until you just want to disappear from the face of the Earth. As the feeling grows you plan how to do it. It's so strong that if you are on your own it could be the end. Luckily on my part I found the will to call my husband but even that needed so much effort and inner strength to do.

I feel so sorry for PYH. If only there was someone with him or he found that will to grab the phone and speak to somebody then it would have not ended this way. We can only speculate what these celebrities go through but let's not forget that they are only humans like us who feel the same thing- pride, happiness, disappointments, loneliness and fulfilments. Problems in life don't choose the bearer nor so depression.

If you find that your friend stops talking to you for a while, take time to ring them. Don't fall on the trap that she/he hasn't rung you so be it and if you feel low and lonely try to speak to someone about it. Don't be ashamed or afraid. Someone is always there to listen and could lend a helping hand..have faith.
