under the weather

Hi folks... been under the weather again..one blow after the other but we move on ..don't we? Anyways glad Yong Joonssi is back.. Sometimes me and many sis probably worry where he goes and what he does. We become protective of this man but that's just being part of this one big family.. So there's a wedding this weekend??? yes, no?? pretty sure someone's getting married in a weekend so looking forward to seeing him out and about I suppose and take note sisters I like the new hair.. Is it me or it was cut short? It was short, was it.?? ok I have to get back under the duvet and get myself wrapped warm.. thank God the central heating got fixed today considering there was no problem according to the engineer.. I don't know.. Just thought this MV from a 'great gal' would lift the way I feel today after being given by my GP a big dose of anti... till then sisters. ;-)

A picture.. a picture

This is just one picture of him in the airport posted by Suehan in Quilt.. From the look of it the person who saw him meant he/she went back to Seoul on the same plane so BYJ must still be in Guam.. Sounds clear to me now.. just waiting for some more pics from somewhere but to be honest I don't mind not seeing a lot of him if he is resting ;-) OK???

winter wonderland????hardly

Hi sisters! It's been a cold week here in England and the ice from the previous teeny weeny snow, days ago didn't budge at all... Now that's saying something. Where I am at the moment we didn't have snow last year and when it did, it melted away .This time seem to be different. Apparently it was -10 degrees last night and we are expecting more cold nights ahead.Not that I complain too much since other countries really have piles of snow and harsh weather condition than us. We love to snow hard but it's never good anyway for transport and businesses. I suppose we couldn't have everything. I have to get active though otherwise I get lazy ;-)

So we went out today for food shopping and had to be careful since it's still slippery. After, we headed off to our favourite restaurant. Frankie and Bennys, a New York Italian Restaurant and Bar. The description made me wonder too...But never mind it's cozy and the food is very tasty.

I got myself a Mozzarella and Tomato Salad (feeling healthy). Not until I ordered a Barbecue Baby Back Spareribs with chips and had Cinnamon Wafer with ice cream.. I love it ;-) So not feeling the cold now.. just have to take it easy dinner time. Oh, wait a minute is the central heating on??? no wonder.

travel and travel..Guam we go...

Whether YJ's flying to Guam was strategically chosen to promote tourism, goodwill relation from both sides, business agenda(CF making) or personal reasons we could only guess. When I found out that he left but still around Asia the list for countries went on.. Honestly I was thinking of him going back to Indonesia or stopping at Singapore but then again a new visit to another country is plausible. So news said he'd be in Guam.
I immediately tried to remember where Guam is ..oooppps sorry I was thinking of Borneo so Guam is here..

Just to refresh my memory folks. It's right side of the Philippines and just outside the Philippine Sea. So close yet so far..

This is a nice aerial shot of the island from Davies Web. It was apparently the stopping-place between Mexico and Manila from 1565 to 1815 (Wiki).

Places to see: Many beaches and a visit to Cocos Island, fishing near the Marianas Trench (now that's interesting) which still holds a good number of Blue Marlins , landmarks such as the Latte Stone and Apra Harbour to name a few...For further details just click here

That's a little trip for me. Hope you learn something cause I did ;-)

Away from home..

Back from work today and just found out BYJ has left for abroad.. where is he going? Perhaps when I get back tomorrow again someone would spot him in one of the airports (sigh) I hope he is going to somewhere nice. Alright folks I think I'll have a glass of Piedmont tonight. A white wine from this Italian region.. Something to put a smile on your face too, I found this from dear Naomi.shhhhhh I suppose we all love him in different ways than one ;-) Connection might be broken...;-( just let it play and play again ..phew!

On Watching the MBC Awards

I found this edited version of the MBC awards by KayaputenQ. I just happened to watch the full version of this conversation and thanks for Suehan for providing a translation. I could understand what I was watching.

Shin: Now, we will announce the honorable Grand Award Winner of 2008 MBC Grand Awards as the last award.

Han: Yes, for the announcement of the honorable Grand Award winner, previous year's winner, Bae Yong Joon is waiting for it.

Shin: It has been one year since wuri Yonsama has appeared. Actually, it might be difficult to watch the scenes if not watching this MBC Grand Awards. There are so many rumors floating around.

Han: What rumors?

Shin: There were rumors, like his hair has grown to about his waist, or his hip..something like that. There are so many rumors. A little later, we will be seeing him in a year and confirming it. What kind of appearance will he show today? Here is last year's Grand Award winner, Bae Yong Yoon ssi.(The screen is showing last year's ceremony)Song: Bae Yong Joon ssi of TWSSG!

Shin: Congratulations, Bae Yong Joon ssi!

Bae Yong Joon: Thank you. I really appreciate the viewers who have trust in us and been waiting for our drama all the way.(caption: Then, who will be the Grand Award winner, today?)

Bae: Annyeonghaseyo, this is Bae Yong Joon.

(Applause)

Bae: It has been a year since I have appeared. Many directors, staff, actors, actress, and seniors, have put forth hard work to produce good dramas this year. It looks like the end of this year is more difficult compared to other times, but I hope MBC drama will give hopes and laughs to many people of the new year. I'll work hard as an actor as well.

Shin: It has been a year, Bae Yong Joon ssi. I'm glad to see you. There are so many rumors about your hair, like your hair is near your waist, or hip, and someone said that your hair was braided, but now we can confirm that it's not true. I have a personal question for you. You have been waiting quite a long time backstage.

Bae: Yes.

Shin: I'm wondering if you were curious about the Grand Award winner and already opened the envelope.

Bae: I didn't because I heard that it would be marked if I had opened it.

Shin: That's why. We work hard to have the envelope explode with stuff to keep it from being opened backstage if we have enough production costs.(laughs)

Shin: Do you remember his black crutches, which were the biggest topic last year and were the fanciest ones that I've ever seen in my life?

Han: You even had special crutches.

Shin: I asked you before what you were going to do with those crutches later on. Do you still have those, or did you give them to someone as a present? Or did you put them up in an auction due to your financial difficulties?

Bae: They're at my house.

Shin: I've never thought that I wanted to keep them as well.

Shin: Do you remember last year? I asked you when you were going to get married. You said that you would marry in three years no matter what happened. One year passed already. Two years are left, please share the story if you have good news that we don't know about.

Bae: It seems that there is something can't be achieved even with plans and efforts. And still 2 years remain, I'll try hard.

Han: Many women dreamed about that, didn't they?

Shin: Actually 2 years will be passing quickly. You might marry a strange girl to keep the promise with your fans and to marry within 2 years if you're not prepared, so please work hard. Now, Bae Yong Joon ssi, will you please announce the Grand Award winner.

Han: Who do you think will receive the Award?

Shin: It's a very difficult question.

Bae: Well. It might be a boring answer no matter how I answer.

Shin: then..Bae: Ah, personally, I hope my close junior SSH would get the Award, but there are many competitive actors whom I have been impressed with. I really don't know who would get the award.

Han: You might have answered a difficult question.

Shin: I thought you would answer conventionally because it was a very difficult question but you showed your thoughts.

Shin: We're curious about and look forward to who will be getting the Award. Now, please announce the Grand Award winner of 2008 MBC Grand Acting Award.

Bae: 2008 The Grand Award goes to Kim Myung Min nim of Beethoven Virus and Song Seung Hun nim of East of Eden.

H: I agree that there should only be one winner but for me Song Seung Hun deserved to win the Daesang. Because of watching his drama in the past starting with Endless Love twice; first in Autumn in My Heart which made way to knowing Bae Yong Joon in Winter Sonata, this award is long overdue. I also saw him in the international film So Close which I watch now and then . In fairness I don't know Kim Myung Min and I am pretty sure he's a very good actor to have won the title too but my support goes out to Song.

Boyzone - Better Lyrics
Our love has changed
It’s not the same
And the only way to say it
is say it..it’s better
I can’t conceal
This way I feel
For all the times we spend together
Forever just gets better
Seem what I’m try to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it’s better
I stand by you
If you stand by me
I think it’s time that I reveal it
Cause I believe it
It’s better
Seem what I’m try to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
If you’re here it’s better
Ooh the more I write song to you
I’m fall in love with everything you do
Seem what I’m try to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it’s better
Our love has changed
It’s not the same
And the only way to say it
is say it… it’s better
