Tribute #4

Fourth Confession

I love Donghae's eyes so much. Every emotion that he feels, his eyes show them well. I think Donghae is an open-book type of person. He is not afraid to hide things from his members and loves to express himself a lot.

Tribute #3

Third Confession:

I bought a replica of the bracelet that Donghae used to wear. I didn't start wearing it because he wore it, but because it was the only link that joined us together. I felt closer than ever.

Tribute #2

My second confession.

The first song I listened to was 너라고[Its You]. To this day, it is my number one song. I love that Donghae was featured first in the video, his voice and eyes were what captured my heart.

Tribute #1

The month of October has started. It means Donghae's birthday is in 15 days. So, I wanted to make a tribute in his honour. I will be posting my own version of Donghae confessions each day until his birthday. I have already posted my first confession in the previous post, but for this new month, I will start with a brand new confession.

This idea is actually from one of the fan based websites online, they also posted on Tumblr. I would like to thank them and hope that I, too, am able to write my own confessions.

Without further adieu, here is the first confession:


Even though I discovered Donghae in 2009, I feel as if I have grown and matured along with him, with every step of the way, with every song, every drama, every photo shoot, and every emotion.

You

Video

I've been living on the western part of the world for about 16 years, and I have had many phases where I would listen to different types of music or world music, such as American, European, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. These phases have always come and gone and then come back again. I think lately I have gotten a phase of western music, American music to be in particular. I have been catching up on listening to the past 2 years worth of English music that was released in America. Some songs I find interesting, some are breathtaking, some put a smile on my face and some are not my kind of music. I am still going through the list day by day, but I happened to come across one artist, his name is Bruno Mars.

After listening to some of his music, I can officially say that I am one of his fans. I have always heard his music on the radio, on T.V. on talk shows, in movies but I never paid attention to it. Its like saying, if you are used to some thing, you hardly pay attention to it [or some thing along those lines]. And so, while living in the western world, his music was always around and people around me always listened to him but I hardly paid attention or made the effort to listen....until...I got curious. His music is definitely interesting but what struck me more was his voice. His voice is amazing, I think fell in love with it. lol.

I also uploaded a song from Bruno Mars, its called Young Girls. I think this is a song for his fans or just his past girlfriends? Either way, I think it is really wonderful. At least whenever I feel sentimental and need some soul music, I know who to listen to. :)

On another note, as I was listening to Mars' music and I understood why Donghae loves him so much and that he is very influenced by Mars. I think one reason why I started listening to Mars was so I can understand Donghae better. I wanted to know what Donghae saw, and felt and especially why he listens to Bruno Mars. I understand it now. I understand it more, the kind of music Donghae makes and the different types of genre he wants to experiment with.
Lately, for the past months, I have been afraid....afraid of the day when I no longer need Donghae. I'm afraid that I will grow out of this infatuation that I have for him. I'm afraid that every emotion, every sense of hope or encouragement that Donghae has given me will someday may not be useful. I'm afraid that I don't know what will happen to me if he is not in my life. I don't think I can let go, and I don't think I want to let go. I really hope that the day I no longer need Donghae does not come. As a result, I listen to his music little by little everyday because I know that every day in my life, I need him.


My confession to Donghae

Wait

A Werewolf Boy 늑대소년 - "Love That Was Not Bound To Happen But Felt So Right"
Director: Jo Sung-Hee
Actor: Song Joong Ki, Park Bo-Young

I watched  this movie a few nights back. I had completely forgotten that this movie existed until my friend told about it. And I have to say...WHY...Why didn't I watch this before!!?? 내가 왜 전에 안봤어!!
lol well this was truly a heart warming movie. Usually, I watch the trailers of the movie before seeing it, but this time I didn't and I think that was a really good choice. I could only tell the context by the title and even then I didn't want to imagine what it was going to be like. And that was perfect. The concept of the movie was redundant but with a bit of change, the trailer actually dramatizes what happens. Its a very calm pace movie.

A werewolf boy is about a young girl and her family, mother and youngest sister, move to the country side in order for her to recover from her ailing lungs. They soon discover that the house they live in has a locked barn that is inhabited by a wild boy. The family takes him in thinking he is a lost orphan boy with a bit of lack of social skills. And so, the movie goes through the interactions of the family and the boy.

Now, my take on this movie. I really liked it. It was one of those movies that I will not get tired of watching. There was so much hidden meaning behind every action and personally, I really love movies like these. I was really moved by the acting of the two main actor/actress. Well, first the main actor Song Joong Ki is my all time favourite actors. He is right beside actor Kwon Sang Woo. Song Joong Ki did remarkably flawless acting with the talented Park Bo Young. Their connection together truly brought out the sincerity of each moment. This movie also reassures me that Song Joong Ki is a great actor and when he comes back from his mandatory military service, he gets much more opportunities to act. Plus it is a good movie about young love or even first love experiences. It brought me back to my first love memories and how innocent and unconditional it was. I cried so much in this movie it was so wonderful and I can feel every emotion the girl was feeling.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone wanting an international take on young love and fantasy.

So after I watched the movie I was having a fan-girl moment and looked up fan-made music videos of the movie or videos of Song Joong ki and Park Bo Young and I found two that were well done! I will share it with you guys. I can't stop watching them! :D

Courage

Movie: We Bought A Zoo

I recently watched this on T.V. This is probably the 10th time I have seen it and yet it never ceases to amaze me. I haven't seen much western movies in a long time so for the past few days I decided to browse around and see what is new. Some things caught my eye...other things not so much...but this movie always catches my eye.
The synopsis is told in the trailer, the family of 3 end up buying a new house that comes with a Zoo. So not only they have to take care of each other but also of the 47 other species that live around them. And so the journey begins...
I love the story line and the amazing acting from Matt Damon {Benjamin Mee, father}, Colin Ford {Dylan Mee, son}, and Scarlett Johansson {Zookeeper}. Every time I watch this movie, it always make me cry. Its so wonderful T_T

There is one quote that I have always remembered.
Benjamin: "You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just, literally, 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."  

When I heard it, it struck my heart...because I am some one that lacks courage and for the past 3 years I have been trying to gain that courage. I hardly had much courage when I was growing up but also I didn't need it as much. I always followed what other people told me. But as I got older I began to think for myself and decide for myself. However, as time went on, I discovered within myself that I lacked courage to do what is necessary within a pressured situation or even just life long decisions. So for the past 3 years I have been working on that courage so I can be a better person.
I really agree with this quote. I really think some times when life gives you big moments, all you truly need is 20 seconds of massive courage...and the outcome will be amazing! I, too, have experienced with those moments and I have to say...they are wonderful. Simply the most memorable moments in life. The ones that bring hope and keep one going.

Also, there is one thing that have brought me courage. {Picture}
I am using this picture from Donghae Confessions from Tumblr. Link
That website consists of many every day confessions about Donghae written from other fans. There are many that I agree with but I will make a different post for those. As for now, I want to share this one. Especially cause today was a not-so-good day for me and its mostly from the people around me that make it bad, I was in a good mood until half way. But at the end of the day, when I see Donghae's smile it makes every thing fade away. I am the type of person that looks at the little moments in life and this little moment will always capture my heart. Plus its one of my favourite pictures! 고마워요 동해 씨!
