Lyrics
English:
It’s you, It’s you,
It’s you, It’s only you
It’s you, It’s you
I don’t need anyone else, it’s only you
When you ask again, it’s only you
Even if you already have another love
I can’t forget you, I can’t turn back around
Oh ~
The moment my eyes began to burn
The moment my heart was captured by you
I have no regret, I chose you
That’s right, it’s you

Chorus :

Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you

It’s you

I don’t need any words. it’s just you
“ It’s too late “ , but for me it’s just you
I know our love is wrong
I can’t give up, I can’t let you go
Ah Ah
My lips, cold as can be, are even more blue
I cry out to find to find your warmth
I call, even though I call for you
And there’s no reply, I’ll wait for you

Chorus
:
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you

For me, it’s you, it’s you
Why don’t you know, why don’t you know?
For me, it’s you, it’s you
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by

It’s you

そばにいて あいする ひと。。。

Stay by my side, my love 

I've been in a very sentimental mood lately. I had a very interesting dream two nights ago...[I will not describe it]..it put my heart in a melancholy mood. And so lately I've been listening to this song a lot. I used to listen to it last year every single day but some how grew out of it and now I've come back to it. I have always been a fan of Ayumi Hamasaki's song. I've heard that most people don't like her as much any more but I have yet to dislike her. I love her music, there is so much soul and power into them. How can you not? Or at least i listen to her previous songs...I haven't listened to anything recent. I've been her fan for 10 years and still counting ^_^
 
浜崎さん、私はいつものふぁんになるです!
Hamasaki-san, watashi wa itsumo no fan ni naru desu! :)


It was tough finding a video of her song so I found the next best thing. It's a music video of a movie with her song inserted. The movie looks cool, i think i will see it later but for now..just listen to the song without looking at the video because then all the feel of the song goes away. lol. 

Heaven
Lyrics

Japanese:

最期に君が微笑んで

真っすぐに差し出したものは

ただあまりに綺麗すぎて

こらえきれず涙溢れた


あの日きっとふたりは愛に触れた


私達は探し合って

時に自分を見失って

やがて見つけ合ったのなら

どんな結末が待っていても


運命と呼ぶ以外他にはない


Lalala… Lalala…


君が旅立ったあの空に

優しく私を照らす星が光った


側にいて愛する人時を超えて形を変えて

ふたりまだ見ぬ未来がここに

ねえこんなにも残ってるから


側にいて愛する人時を超えて形を変えて

ふたりまだ見ぬ未来がここに

残ってるから


信じて愛する人私の中で君は生きる

だからこれから先もずっと

サヨナラなんて言わない


あの日きっとふたりは愛に触れた


Romaji:
Saigo ni kimi ga hohoende
Massugu ni sashidashita mono wa
Tada amarini kirei sugite
Koraekirezu namida afureta

Ano hi kitto futari wa
Ai ni fureta

Watashitachi wa sagashiatte
Tokini jibun o miushinatte
Yagate mitsukeatta no nara
Donna ketsumatsu ga matte ite mo

Unmei to iu igai
Hoka ni wa nai

la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la

Kimi ga tabidatta ano sora ni
Yasashiku watashi o terasu hoshi ga hikatte

Soba ni ite aisuru hito
Toki o koete katachi o kaete
Futari mada minu mirai ga koko ni
Nee konnanimo nokotteru kara

Soba ni ite aisuru hito
Toki o koete katachi o kaete
Futari mada minu mirai ga koko ni
Nokotteru kara
Shinjite aisuru hito
Watashi no naka de kimi wa ikiru
Dakara kore kara saki mo zutto
Sayonara nante iwanai

Ano hi kitto futari wa
Ai ni fureta


English:
What you offered straight to me
With a smile for the last time
Was just so beautiful
That I gave way to tears


Surely, that day
The two of us touched love


We sought for each other
Lost ourselves at times
And found each other at last
So whatever result may be waiting for us


It's nothing but
Destiny


la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la


In the sky you set out for
Stars are shining tenderly upon me


Stay by my side, my love
Crossing over time and changing your shape
You see? The future we haven't yet seen
Remains here like this


Stay by my side, my love
Crossing over time and changing your shape
The future we haven't yet seen
Remains here


Trust me, my love
You live within me
So I'll never
Say good-bye to you


Surely, that day
The two of us touched love

A Child is a mirror of the Parents' methods

Baker King! Kim Tak Gu


I FINISHED IT TT_TT 
This drama was one of the highest rated dramas during 2010..and I have to say..It lead up to that expectation. The ratings were minimum 30% and 50% maximum...which is amazing compared to the usual ratings of 20% or less. 

Genre: Family, Romance
Younger Tak Gu as  Oh Jae Moo
Younger Yu Kyung as Jo Jung Eun
Joo Won as Gu Ma Jun     aka. Seo Tae Jo 
Younger Ma Jun as Shin Dong Woo
Younger Ja kyung as Ha Seung Ri

From now on...my view of bread has forever changed. lol. This was my first cooking drama and I'm glad I picked it. The only reason that drew me towards this was because Kyuhyun sang one of the OST songs..and so for a year I was debating when would be the right time to watch this. When I read the summary, it reminded me much of Stairway to Heaven but I like Baker King a little better [Sorry Choi Ji Woo ssi]. I like it when the main character doesn't DIE. Although there were enough deaths to go around in Baker King too. T_T
So this one is about Kim Tak Gu, an elder son of Gu II Jung, president of Geosung Bread company. Even though he is the rightful heir, he is an illegitimate child of II Jung's mistress, Kim Mi Sun, and so the battle begins as soon as both brothers are born. The younger brother, Gu Ma Jun is a son of Geosung's first lady, Seo In Sook and Han Seung Jae [president's best friend], as Seo In Sook could not produce an heir from II Jung she decided to produce one from Seung Jae. Through out the drama, besides the president, II Jung's family plots against Kim Tak Gu in every way to shatter his hopes of living and in becoming the heir.
Along the way Tak Gu meets his life long friend and lover Shin Yu Kyung, there were very few moments of happiness before she gets snatched away by Gu Ma Jun. And one more person, Yang Mi Sun, who Tak Gu befriends in a bakery that he apprentices and later falls in love with.

For some reason it's a trend for me to watch family related dramas...maybe cause I have enough reality dramas of my own that I go hide in fantasy world..lol. whatever the reason might be I really loved, hated, loved, hated, and then loved this drama. It was a tug of war all the way. 
I love these dramas not because of the love/hate relationship but because they always have a hidden message beneath all the love, lies, hatred, and death. 
This one definitely proves that HOPE IS A DREAM THAT NEVER SLEEPS.   [Kyunniee ssi :)]
I will forever be connected to Kim Tak Gu by his keen sense of smell and his never ending faith.
I can proudly say that no matter how bad life gets I will never give up and to this day, I haven't. 
This drama helped me a lot with my feelings towards the world and family. My mood was quite bitter and sad for the past months and thankfully it all changed. I hated feeling bitter and I wanted it to go away so I'm grateful in discovering this drama. My bitter feelings towards the world and family are diminished. Or at least I know what I have to do to solve the problems. I honestly believe that without hope a person's heart can never be happy.
It was relieving and surprising to see that the feelings the children felt are the same feelings I've felt. I'm glad this drama showed it from the children's point of view, it really shows how a child goes through the world while parents manipulate it. In reality, the child knows everything and parents brush it under just to avoid and keep peace but nothing will go away like that. A child's struggle for freedom from the hands of a parent is a very difficult task...it takes years to accomplish. Well that's just one of the hidden messages this drama has. 

Another one is brother rivalry. I have to admit, I enjoyed the mini arguments Tak Gu and Ma Jun had. Although I did not like how Ma Jun did not play fair..and WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STEAL YU KYUNG???whyyyy? That pissed me off so much. I was also disappointed in Yu Kyung for choosing that path to get even with Ma Jun's mother but it also taught a lesson for her so I do sympathize with her. 

I spent 30hrs on this drama...ah~ time well spent!! One episode a day...relieved my world's stress and increased my drama worlds'.
In the end every thing turned out well and justice always prevails ^_^ The bad person deserved what they asked for. I really wanted Tak Gu and Yu kyung to be together they were such a lovely couple! :( Oh well...Mi Sun works well for him too. As soon as Mi Sun told Tak Gu "Don't use your fist for fighting, your fist is the last resort" I knew at that moment where this drama was going....

There are a lot of memorable quotes in the drama...one of them is all the way at the end.
After all the struggles Ma Jun and Tak Gu talk. 
[Episode 29, 40:00 - 42:09]
Ma Jun: Hey, Kim Tak Gu
Tak Gu: What's up? Seo Tae Jo.
Ma Jun: How can you be like that? How can you keep smiling like that? You've only had things taken from you until now. Your mother was taken and your father was taken. And you were kicked out of Geosung. Shin Yu Kyung was taken and everything else was taken. How can you be like that? Do you not have a heart, are you dumb or...are you really okay?
Tak Gu: How can I be okay? It's not that I don't know anger, it's not that I don't feel it's unfair, and it's not that I can't feel pain in my heart.
Ma Jun:Then? How can you bear it like that?
Tak Gu: Because I need to live. While I'm alive, nothing is over. Just because today was good, my life isn't over. And just because today was bad, my life isn't over either. Good things and bad things...they all go away. 

 I don't think I need to explain this one :) 

P.S I really loved the OST.

희망은 내겐 잠들지 않는 꿈....


Hope is a dream that never sleeps...   :)
OST: Baker King Kim Tak Gu
Performed by: Cho Kyuhyun [Super Junior]

So currently I am watching this drama..Baker King Kim Tak Gu and it is so amazing. It reminds me of Stairway to Heaven although this drama progresses very well. Stairway to Heaven just makes me want to kill every annoying character. I understand why Baker King was very well recognized when it aired in 2010. Once again, this drama has every single scenario one can think of happening to the characters. It is such a SAD drama but filled with so much perseverance! I'll talk more about it when I finish watching it. As of right now...I think the way I want the drama to end won't happen so I'm trying to fight that battle within myself. 

On to jollier things! I heard this song sung by our maknae Kyuhyun last year and I fell in love with the lyrics. It is a sad love ballad but very uplifting. As you listen to it it cheers you up..or at least that's how I feel.  It gives you hope. As the title is "Hope is a dream that never sleeps". Plus add Kyuhyun-ssi's voice and it is so beautiful. He is a very talented man and I'm glad he survived to pursue his dreams. To think that if Kyuhyun had lost his voice or was not able to be in this world...that would be very scary...nevertheless he has been through a lot and I thank him for singing this ballad.

I added a clip from Baker King's episode 16...this is the first time the song played in the drama.
I was waiting for this moment in every episode...waiting for the song to finally come...and when it did..I can assure you I jumped off my seat in enjoyment and cried like a baby in relief. Plus I love when they insert the song in the drama...the feeling becomes stronger. The scene is when the two brothers are forced to stay together tied hand in hand by a rope for three days, and they have to endure each others presence in order to diminish all the resentment they have for each other...{the interesting part is that Kim Tak gu, older brother [brown shirt], does not know that Ma Jun is his younger brother [Blue jean shirt] }. It's up till 4:04 but you are welcome to watch the rest of the clip.

English:
It doesn’t matter if I’m lonely. Whenever I think of you
A smile spreads across my face.
It doesn’t matter if I’m tired. Whenever you are happy
My heart is filled with love.
Today I might live in a harsh world again.
Even if I’m tired, when I close my eyes, I only see your image.
The dreams that are still ringing in my ears
Are leaving my side towards you.
Everyday my life is like a dream.
If we can look at each other and love each other
I’ll stand up again.
To me, the happiness of those precious memories
Will be warmer during hard times.
For me, hope is a dream that never sleeps.
Like a shadow by my side you always
Quietly come to me.
To see if I’m hurt, to see if I’m lonely everyday
With feelings of yearning, you come to me.
Even if the world makes me cry, I’m okay.
Because you are always by my side.
Like dust, will those memories change and leave?
I’ll keep smiling to ease my heart.
Everyday my life is like a dream.
If we can look at each other and love each other
I’ll stand up again.
To me, the happiness of those precious memories
Will be warmer during hard times.
For me, hope is a dream that never sleeps.
No matter how many times I stumble and fall
I’m still standing like this.
I only have one heart.
When I’m tired you become my strength.
My heart is towards you forever.
So I swallowed the hurt and grief.
I’ll only show you my smiling form.
It doesn’t even hurt now.
I’ll always hold on to the dreams I want to fulfill with you
I’ll try to call for you at the place I cannot reach
I love you with all my heart.

Hangul: 
나 외로워도 되 널 생각할 땐
미소가 나의 얼굴에 번져
나 힘들어도 되 니가 행복할 땐
사랑이 내 맘 가득히 채워
오늘도 난 거친 세상속에 살지만
힘들어도 눈감으면 니 모습뿐
아직도 귓가에 들려오는 꿈들이
나의 곁에서 널 향해 가고 있잖아
내 삶이 하루하루 꿈을 꾸는 것처럼
너와 함께 마주보며 사랑할 수 있다면
다시 일어설 거야
나에게 소중했던 기억속의 행복들
힘든 시간 속에서도 더욱 따스했던
희망은 내겐 잠들지 않는 꿈
늘 나의 곁에서 그림자처럼
조용히 너는 내게로 와서
나 아파하는지 매일 외로운지
그리움으로 너는 내게 다녀가
세상이 날 울게 해도 나는 괜찮아
항상 니가 나의 곁에 있으니까
먼지처럼 추억이 변해서 떠날까
그저 웃으며 마음을 달래어 봐도
내 삶이 하루하루 꿈을 꾸는 것처럼
너와 함께 마주보며 사랑할 수 있다면
다시 일어설 거야
나에게 소중했던 기억속의 행복들
힘든 시간 속에서도 더욱 따스했던
희망은 내겐 잠들지 않는 꿈
수없이 넘어져 비틀대도
나는 이렇게 서 있잖아
내 맘 하나뿐인데
힘들 때면 니가 이렇게 힘이 돼 줄래
너를 향해 영원히
이렇게 상처 속에 슬픔들을 삼킨 채
미소 짓는 내 모습을 너에게 보여 줄게
이제는 아프지 않아
언제나 너와 함께 이루고픈 꿈 안고
갈 수 없던 저편에서 너를 불러볼께
내 마음 다해 사랑하는 너를

The One and Only

Toyota Camry 2012


Today, I got this car! I would never have imagined to get this car. This is a very surreal moment...i'm still in a daze. lol.
I've watched this ad at least six times a day, every day for a month..so I've basically have this imbedded in my brain. [I watched enough Korean dramas on Hulu...and that website played this ad ever since Lee Min Ho started making it] 
This is a very memorating event for me. It's the first time I've co-signed an ownership of a car. Honestly, I didn't want to be the co-owner but things turned out this way. I don't really think of this car any more than just a means of transportation...is that so bad? for all you car lovers out there. :P
Nevertheless, the first time I sat in it..I imagined Lee Min Ho driving around and I couldn't resist but to drive it myself. It is a very smooth ride! I refuse to get into the specs of this vehicle because I think you guys can do that by yourself.


Here are pictures from the mini-drama that Lee Min Ho has released.

It's Okay

Come Rain Come Shine
 
    

Trailer
Woman: "I've made up my mind, I'm leaving you"
Man: "Can I help you pack...is this the last room? "
Woman: "You are too nice, you help your unfaithful wife pack...Why aren't you mad at me?"
Man: "Can I change you once you've made up your mind?"
Woman: "Do you know how selfish that is?"
Screen: I wish I could hate you

Other Man: "It's me, you haven't changed your mind, have you?"
Man: "I wish I could get rid of things with no regrets...You should throw this out"
Woman: "Why? You made this for me...
Maybe it's the rain but somehow it tastes better today"
Man: "Really, I'm okay"
Woman: "I'm okay...those seem to be your favourite words...
The bridge is blocked due to the flood"

Screen: Can't we just start all over again?


subtitles

Genre: Melodrama, Romance
Actor: Hyun Bin as Ji Seok
Im Soo Jeon as Yeong Sin

This was an amazing movie. Personally, I am a big fan of mundance, psychological movies and this caught my attention, from the start. Also I am big fan of Hyun Bin's work ever since I watched him with Lee Yeon Hee in A Millionaire's First Love. The story is about a 5 year married couple that spent their last day together forced to stay inside their house by a rain storm.

Let me just say...I think I'm in love with the director, Lee Yoon Ki! I love his use of camera, lighting, costume and dialogues that deliver this master piece.

This is not a fast-paste action movie or a comedy, you really have to sit down calmly and watch it with every detail. Every action and expression matters, every angle of the camera matters in showing the hidden meaning. I love this one scene where there is a camera at the top of the staircase and both characters walk the opposite direction. The wife moves up the steps while the husband stays below. Even though they both are walking in the same direction they both are heading into a different path. :) This movie shows the inner tensions between each character as the distance keeps growing but also trying to maintain it. Not to mention, the constant solitary shots of each character beside a rain drop window background...such a melancholy moment! lol

I'm having fun just writing about this. I can watch this movie over and over not get bored :P
Definitely recommend it for those who want to see into the inner functions of the human heart.
