Synopsis

Jeon Jinho, a budding architect, is a straight guy who pretends to be gay in order to become roommate to Park Gae In, the owner of a mysterious house that has never been opened to outsiders. Gae In is very trusting, which people take advantage of constantly. However, that doesn't stop her from giving people the benefit of doubt and Jin Ho is no different. How will Gae In react when she finds out that her gay roommate is not actually gay at all and that he has fallen for her?

*At first, I had a second thought watching this drama because of the female lead star. :) But I decided to watch it still and glad I did. This drama is hilariously beautiful. From the first episode up to the last, you are guaranteed to laugh, smile, and fall in love.

Happy Heart's Day! ♥

Love is patient and kind;

Love is not jealous or boastful;

It is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not insist on its own ways;

It is not irritable or resentful;

It does not rejoice at wrong.

But rejoices in the right.

Love bears all things,

Believes all things,

Hopes all things,

Endures all things.

Love never ends...

So Faith,

Hope,

Love abide,

These three;

But the greatest of these is

Love.

— 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

Sports Fest '12

2012-02-03T10:00:00.000+08:00

Last January 27, 2012, my daughter's school had their first ever Sports Fest. It started with the parade in the village. From nursery to graders joined the parade. After the parade everybody headed to the clubhouse for the program. The program started with the singing of the National Anthem, then the opening prayer, and then their school directress gave her speech for the fest and even recited a poem that is related with the program. Students from grade 3 up to grade 5 played either basketball, volleyball and some board games (ie. chess, scrabble, etc.), while the students from grade 1 to grade 2 played some kind of party games since they are still small to join the basketball, volleyball, and some board games.

Ahjussi as he ran away from home because Yoon Seung froze his cards because of high bills due to home shopping.

Yoon Seung as he tried to calm down Ahjussi and asked him to come back home.

Nana watching Yoon Seung and Ahjussi having their lover's quarrel. LOL!

Ajusshi: You promised that you’d make me happy here and that I could do whatever I wanted, but all I ever do is get beaten up by strange men and pose as insurance salesman for a con, and… I’m going back to the Triangle!
Yoon Seung: Go? Where do you think you’re going?! You know I can’t live without you!
Ajusshi: What do you mean you can’t live without me? You’re always nagging me! Like you can’t live without me.
Yoon Seung: I can’t live without you. I was wrong.
Ajusshi: I’m not doing any of this for me. I’m just trying to feed you and take care of you.
Yoon Seung: I know, I know. I was wrong. I’ll let you use your cards, okay?
Nana: Um… maybe you can have your lover's quarrel outside…

Synopsis

The story starts in 1983. The South Korean president and his delegates are visiting Burma (now Myanmar) when a bomb planted by North Korea explodes, killing some high ranking officials. This historical event is called the Rangoon bombing (also known as the Rangoon incident). To strike back, five South Korean officials plan an underground operation to enter North Korea and kill North Korean agents. Unbeknownst to the South Korean president, Lee Jin Pyo (Kim Sang-Joong) and Park Moo Yul (Park Sang-Min), two bodyguards at the Blue House (South Korean presidential palace), organize a 21-men troop to execute the plan. However, as the operation is taking place, five high-ranking officials change their minds and abort the plan in order to avoid an international crisis if the mission is discovered. Their major concern is that the United States will withdraw its nuclear protection if the mission is made public.

The operation is successful, but as the troops swim to the submarine which is supposed to take them back to South Korea, snipers from the submarine shoot and kill all of the troop members, except Lee Jin Pyo, while they are still in the water. An already injured Park Moo Yul uses his body to shield Jin Pyo, thus saving his life. Jin Pyo swims back to shore and returns to South Korea, where he finds out that there are a total of five officials responsible for aborting the operation.

Vowing to avenge his fallen comrades, including his closest and best friend Park Moo Yul, he kidnaps Moo Yul's infant son and flees to Southeast Asia's Golden Triangle, specifically the mountainous Burmese-Thai border. There, he raises the child as his own and trains the boy intensively in combat. Following an attack on the village, Jin Pyo confesses his long-term plan for revenge to the child, Lee Yoon Seung (Lee Min-Ho).

Seven years later, after successfully finishing his college years and attaining a doctorate in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yoon-sung returns to South Korea to fulfill his step-father's plan for revenge. He enters the Blue House as an IT expert under the National Communication Network Team. He is warned by Jin-pyo not to trust anyone and never to fall in love, as doing so will put the people around him in danger.

In Blue House, he meets bodyguard Kim Na Na (Park Min-Young). The story of love and revenge begins. Eventually Kim Na Na helps him to take revenge, as they discover that they have the same goal in mind. Both of them start working together, but problems occur during their revenge plot.

A twist occurs as the full truth is revealed. Lee Yoon Sung discovered that his biological father is the president, Choi Eung Chan, the last of the five council members who decided on killing the special ops team that was sent to Nampo waters in North Korea. Choi Eung Chan is also the last target of Lee Jin Pyo, and supposedly, the city hunter's last target as well.

So far it is the best Korean drama I've watched. From the great actors down to the intense scenes. I like how Lee Yoon Seung stands for his own method of revenge while his step dad wants a blood for blood revenge. I like how pure his heart is despite of all the betrayal he experienced.

Pompoms

2012-01-25T10:30:00.000+08:00

Roxanne's old pompoms that she used when she was still in HSS.

We bought this pair of pompoms a year ago for Roxanne's activity when she was still studying in HSS.(Holy Spirit School) She wasn't able to use this because she had to transfer to another school before the program due to some personal stuff. We just kept the pompoms for future use.

And lately, my child told me that, she joined cheer dancing. Their teacher said that they will be using a blue and white pompoms (since it's their school color) for the cheer dancing. We weren't able to buy pompoms with the desired color yet. But since it isn't the actual cheer dancing yet, I asked her to just use her old pompoms during her practice and she agreed. I told her not to worry for she will be using still the blue and white pompoms on their actual program.

After sometime, she will be using this pair of cute pompoms again even just for a practice. :) But at least, this pair of pompoms is useful. :))

"I free myself from hatred through forgiveness and love."
- Paulo Coelho

I thought I am already ready to forgive her for what she did. Even thought that she is more forgivable than... alright let's not mention any name but you know who you are. I was wrong. I'm not just ready yet, maybe because what she did, hurt us so much. Anyway, as they always say, time heals all wounds, so who knows. But am sure that, that time isn't now yet. I feel sorry for her but at the same time, I won't deny it, but somehow I feel good when you made her look stupid last night. :p (how bad, sorry.) For sure they are thinking bad things about me na naman. Iniisip nila that I am maldita talaga. But who cares? :)

I know, the title of my blog doesn't fit to its contents. Hahaha. The title of my blog is 'Milestones' , therefore it should be filled with lots of memories (happy or sad), my opinions, or anything that interests me, but sadly, it is filled with nothing. My last post was actually last Oct. 14 last year. Oh my! :/

Anyway, Good luck to me. I'll try to post things as possible as I could. Hahaha! :))

Why Settle for Less If You Deserve Simply the Best?

2011-10-14T12:25:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I wonder why there are people settle for less if they know they can have and deserve only the best. Some people go for cheap things while the quality isn’t good enough and some people go for too expensive things where prices are not reasonable enough and the quality is the same with the cheaper brand. Well, sometimes you just have to be wise. You have to consider both the price and the quality and not just the price nor just the quality.
