another journey

Hi! I am not particularly sure how to begin this post. Thinking about it made me realize that things start from somewhere from nowhere or the unknown. How many of us really know what's coming? Even if we do, circumstances change and we can only react depending on the situation. I would admit that I am still starting to learn about a lot of things. New experiences are yet to come and growing, well depending on how you define it, is still a work in progress on my part.


What I'm trying to decipher in this post is how prepared are we of the unknown. That something  has heppened to you and you haven't any precedent or a slight clue how to handle it. Would a person's instinct be your guide to survival or you leave it to the force stronger than yours to help you get through the experience?


Surely life is beautiful and full of surprises. You really never know what there is until you have it. Never in my wildest dreams I have thought of being where I am today and trying to gather my thoughts for others. They said things happen for a reason and my true reason has just arrived. In this journey I wouldn't know what the expectation would be.

When I saw BYJ again I didn't know what to do but little did I know that it was only the beginning. A time when I would meet people, embark on new adventures and get driven to do something. It's funny how it all turned out to be. And though it seems that we are stuck in a cold snap there are only two things we could do- remain cold, bitter towards the situation or accept with warm hearts what nature is capable of then we'll find true solace in what seems to be a never ending winter.


As for the unknown, it can stay wherever it is. As long as we remain true to our hearts nothing could extinguished the flame that kept us together all these years. Seasons come and go to make way for a new life- a new journey.

Out of the Blue

Hello!
How are you feeling? I hope you are  well and lively. Me? mmhhh not quite as alive as I should be. Really, it's been snowing here again and I'm actually dreading the next  couple of days. Our central heating is struggling to keep up with these conditions although it's nothing to worry at the moment.

The only thing I don't like in winter is the short days. You could count the days when the sun is up. Most of the time it's cloudy. You would think it's bedtime soon.While writing this I feel like I could fall over and sleep..cups of coffees don't seem to work with me these days.. I should move on to water and plenty of it.

It's not only us who's affected by this harsh winter. Seoul and America has been badly hit too. Is it the end of the world? Maybe not I hope. I am not complaining about the amount of snow we get as it's nothing compared to other countries.(I hope I haven't spoken too soon.)

So what else to do at this time? Keep warm, drink hot chocolate, exercise if you're up for it, endure and well sleep if you have time or you can always sit by the fire and read your book. Take it slow and be one with nature. It's the time to plan, watch and put things to rest. I better start.. Cherio!

Drops No More

Hello there!
Perhaps you have heard of the big news that the production of The Drops of God featuring BYJ has been cancelled. According to reports  using various wine labels in the manga would violate the advertising law of South Korea so Keyeast decided not pursue the project.

Many of us would be left disappointed as we have been waiting for this but let's hope for the best.

Cute Animations

Hi! I hope the weekend has been a good one wherever you are. These lovely drawings of Koshuka cheered me up after a tough weekend at work. I hope they'd bring joy to you too. Posted by Style/BYJ Gallery. Also thanks to Liezle for sharing.

A Sweet Exit

Hi! It's the New Year a new beginning but I'd like to make a space here for my favorite TV program. It will probably reach your country and if it does give it a chance and watch it. I am not a big Scifi fan but Doctor Who is one exception.
I have never cried this much for a while and certainly not in the first day of the year but  David Tennant's exit was just painful to watch. He's one of Britain's favorite Doctor  but everything has an end. :-( I certainly enjoyed watching all of the series and all I could say now is thank you Doctor.

Year 2010, a new year with family has started.
Dear family, happy new year!! (sae-hae-bok, mani-ba-du-se-yo!)
It is already fourth year to give my greetings through this blog.
Looking back last year, personally, I was able to create a good family
and with the birth of my adorable daughter, I had a most meaningful year.

What can I say to everyone at this blog this year, I am excited and nervous as I am writing this.


Last year, Bae Yong Joon-ssi appeared to you in new styles, he had worked as writer for “Beauty of Korea (Discovering the Beauty of Korea),” and did dubbing for Animation “Winter Sonata.”


There are high expectations what kind of style he will show this year.
To make this year a year to respond to family’s love, and to grant to everyone’s wishes,


Bae Yong Joon-ssi and myself will do our best in year 2010.

I wish every family will have all their wishes come true and have a happy year.
And, please be well and have pleasant time.

Kamsa Hamnida.


Sincerely,


Yang Geun Hwan

That's kind of him. Rest assured we will all be waiting patiently. Many thanks tomato99.

A New Day

Hi! We are finally in 2010. I don't know about you but today actually feels fresh and new. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. Although the bitterly winds prevailed it didn't hinder us to go out for our first walk this year.
Recently I have been drawn to the natural world. I hope this year I could explore more places in Britain and share them to you. I am also considering of doing a long walk following one of the trails of Alfred Wainright. There are so many beautiful places in this country which I'm truly looking forward to visit.
In the Bae front I wish out man would continuously provide us with exciting projects to watch and enjoy although we all have wished him a healthy and successful 2010.
I hope your first day of 2010 was just as good and promising.
