English Translation to Navi

Tablo:

Yeah. Girl, you and I, we just friends. I. love. you.

Navi:

I love you love you (I’m just a friend)

I love you love you (I’m just a friend)

You know~ you know I love you~ (But I say I’m just a friend)

I took off my glasses and put on a skirt

Anytime, tell me if it’s becoming on me

Although it’s embarrassing I tried on makeup

Although you laugh, please don't, just tell me who am I being like this for anyway?

I’m going to tell (confess to) you~

I can’t hide my (heart) feelings anymore~

With you, I don’t want to stay friends~

In your embrace, I want to tell you, everyday

That I love you~

For as long as I’ve kept it inside

My heart is brimming full with these feelings~ I love you~

It feels like it’s going to pop~

I love you love you

I love you love you

You know, you know, I love you

The way guys joke when they talk to each other

Don’t treat me like nothing happened~

Don’t tell me that because I’m a girl, I’ll do fine

From time to time, I’m sick of your

Requests to set you up with blind dates

I’m going to confront all of this

From now on, this love’s gonna work out~

I don’t want to stay friends with you~

In your embrace, I want to tell you, everyday

That I love you~

For as long as I’ve kept it inside

My heart is brimming full with these feelings~ I love you~

It feels like it’s going to pop~

Tablo:

At first it was familiar and convenient to acknowledge you as a friend~

But as time passed things changed

Before I knew it You were changing to me bit by bit

Honestly I started to want you too

I was kinda scared

Since it'd be awkward for me to tell you

Since i was afraid we'd grow apart

You still don't get my feelings do you? You probably don't know

When you sitting in front of the mirror, you're probably laughing, thinking about me

Don’t worry, You’re One of a Kind to me

Since I've become you're other half~

You’re already my amazing Sunshine~

Navi:

I believe, You’re going to hug me

That you waited as well

That you also during that time

Liked me too

For as long as I’ve kept it inside

My heart's full with these feelings~ I love you

And it feels like it’s about to pop~

I love you love you love you

I love you love you love you

You know you know I love you (x 2)

English Translation to Tae Yeon - What If

If I should go, should I go close to you

How would you think about it. so I am fallen-heartened.

If you should leave, should you leave me

How could I let you leave. continuously I am scared.

the reason that I, being fool, am only but watching you from a distance

is because maybe I am worried about your heart probably to turn my feeling away

and so becoming more alienated between us

the reason that I, being really fool, cannot say ‘I love you’

is because maybe I am afraid of the pain and the saddening days expected

after falling in with.


If you should come. should you come to me

How I should do, really I have no idea.


the reason that I, being fool, am only but watching you from a distance

is because maybe I am worried about your heart probably to turn my feeling away

and so becoming more alienated between us

Aww...I just loved the Absolute Boyfriend theme song sooo much (clutches her heart). Especially since it goes so nicely with last episode 5. Did you guys watch it yet? It's getting waaay more interesting (dare I say much better than the manga?).

English Lyrics:


Welcome back, sweetheart to our home, yeah…Thanks for your love
Acting like nothing’s wrong again

Covering up all the melancholy tones

Putting on a smile

When you cast away that empty shell,

I feel like I’m gonna overflow

I just wanna hold you tight

Keeping these feelings inside, I move on

Welcome back to where love returns, yeah…

Thanks for your love
The scars from looking for and losing my heart

Became the strength to face myself,

All because I had a home to come back to
Welcome home sweetheart,

Please wait for me,

’cause I’m nearly there

Sweetheart…

WHO ARE YOU-OST 눈물나는 사람 너야 - 우지민 You are the person who is crying - Woo Min Jin

(credit to Jazzholic)

(For those of you who've been in Son Young In's shoes)

왜 자꾸 내게 오니Why do you keep coming to me?
내게 묻지 않고Without asking me?
이런 날 오늘처럼 하늘 푸른 날A day like this, a day like today when sky is blue,
더는 내 기억에 오지마don’t come to my memory anymore.
왜 자꾸 서글프니Why do I keep getting sad,
어제와 난 같은데when I’m same as yesterday.
이런 날 눈물처럼 비내리는 날A day like this, a day when rain falls like tears,
여윈 두 볼 가득히My night are filled with restless sleep
눈물도 비가 되어tears turns to rain, too.
너무 숨이 막혀와It’s so hard to breathe and
your heart your eyes your days
그만 내 심장에서 나가Enough, leave my heart
너무 나쁜 사람이야you are a really bad person
그저 그 생각만으로도날 울리는 사람 너야The person who makes me crywhen I just think of that person is you.
왜 자꾸 곁에 있니Why do you keep staying by my side
다 없던 일 아니니These aren’t things that didn’t happen
이런 날 바보같이 서성대는 날A day like this, a day when I wander back and forth like a fool
더는 내게 오지마Don’t come to me anymore
꿈에서도 오지마Don’t come to my dreams, either.
너무 숨이 막혀서It’s too hard to breathe
your heart your eyes your days
제발 내 심장에서 떠나Please leave my heart
내겐 아픔일 뿐이야mine is only has pain.
그저 그 이름만으로도눈물나는 사람 너야The person who can maketears just with their name is you.
You’re my sweeter dayand better day until nowbecause I gonna never leave alone
너무 숨이 막혀와It’s so hard to breathe and
your heart your eyes your days
그만 내 심장에서 나가Enough, leave my heart
너무 나쁜 사람이야you are a really bad person
그저 그 생각만으로도날 울리는 사람 너야The person who makes me crywhen I just think of that person is you.
내겐 아픔일 뿐이야mine only has pain
그저 그 이름만으로도눈물나는 사람 너야The person who makesme cry just with their name is you.

A poem from Jazzholic's site convey how sweet and touching "Who Are You" is:

I'll remember this moment, even down to a tiny breath,
I'll remember you, who will be forever uncomfortable,
everything that's meant for me,
Thanks, be here for me...
from "Who are you?" 누구세요 OST

Bill Clinton in Vancouver!!!(November 1, 2007)

(Warning some rambling included so don't mind me if I make an idiot of myself)

Note: This was quite a while ago but I thought since it was one of my coolest memories,  it'll be a shame not to share it........


November 01, 2007:

Today's the first day of my job as a banquet server for corporate events since I've left S from (A) (Due to privacy concerns I'll just give initials.)

But it's also the first time I ever get to be this close to someone soooo cooool in the politics area, Yaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!!! It was stressful at first, especially since I didn't know my co-workers, the place, or what to do........but as time passed, we hardly did anything and the gig came only at 11am when swarms of people dressed formally in business attire came by. I was up on the top floor (guessing it's the balcony area in the Arts Performing theater) and looking down, they all came up to the food.

That's when it got crowded that I had to squish between people eating their precious food away.

Luckily though, they all left to rush for the former president's presentation. Bill Clinton-presentation


(BTW, these are not pictures I've taken. I was working there so there was not much time to take any.)


After my 4hr shift, I got lucky to just sit outside the theater to look if the president was going to come out of there. Too bad though, my intuition about him leaving through the back exit instead was right. No-one from the public got to meet him up close I think (only through the presentation with bodyguards I bet). An awesome presentation btw. Tons of reporters did bother to come by though, and judging from my view they interviewed people instead for their opinions on how the presentation went. Although, I couldn't get a close enough look and hear because of the huge crowd, at least I've gotten a view of Clinton from darkened windows of an elegant black car.

Althought all the spotlight was gone, to this day, even though I could not talk or see him face to face; I'm at least happy that Bill Clinton was my first guest of honour on my first day of work (unfortunately I did not get to ask him what happened between him and Monica Lewinski, LOL) .

Albert Einstein denying there's a God?


Whenever I have time, I always love to look at the msn articles to see whether there are any newsworthy articles. To my surprise, this article caught my eye:

http://technology.sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/Belief+in+God+a+product+of+human+weaknesses+Einstein+letter/News/ContentPosting.aspx?isfa=1&newsitemid=einstein-religion&feedname=CBC-TECH-SCIENCE&show=False&number=10&showbyline=True&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc&date=T

Ironically, the night before I was thinking about Albert Einsten's religious views; thinking that perhaps he has contributed so much for this world that he must have believed in him. Alas, my assumption came wrong.

In the article, I was checking first if anything was biased from the perspective of the journalist who wrote this, but plenty of evidence was found, including a letter he personally wrote in his life.

Now I'm not really an active catholic but my belief in God has been always been present; especially in difficult times. So there's no surprise to see how disappointed I was to see that one of the greatest intellectuals rejected someone I loved dearly, especially when I read this quote:

[Einstein writes "the word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish." ]

Though I was glad that as I read the article, what consoled me was that Einstein was neither an Atheist.

["John Brooke, professor emeritus of science and religion at Oxford University, told the Associated Press that the letter lends weight to the notion that "Einstein was not a conventional theist" - although he was not an atheist, either.
"'Like many great scientists of the past, he is rather quirky about religion, and not always consistent from one period to another,'

Brooke said Einstein believed 'there is some kind of intelligence working its way through nature. But it is certainly not a conventional Christian or Judaic religious view.'
Bloomsbury spokesman Richard Caton said the auction house was '100 per cent certain' of the letter's authenticity." ]

Also from this blog, this at least made me feel a bit better knowing that he wants to understand him the least,
http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vY2xvc2V0c29uZ3MuYmxvZ3Nwb3QuY29tLzIwMDcvMDYvaW4td29yZHMtb2YtYWxiZXJ0LWVpbnN0ZWluLmh0bWw=: [Einstein wrote: "~ I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.~ ]

Nevertheless, even though Einstein did not truly believed in him, he will always be the greatest accomplished achiever on this earth.

Flowers for my Life


Like everyone else, I've been reluctant to watch this series because I knew that the ending would be bittersweet rather than happy. But the moment I've watched it, I instantly felt in love for its profound story.

It's about death. And that alone would scare off anyone. But for some odd reason, it reminds me a little bit of Ernest Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" except without all the dooomed drama.

But unlike the other dramas, this one doesn't dwelt on cheesy plots screaming off that there's death in life and vice versa. Instead each episode conveys an everlasting lesson that would surely touch your heart.

The story presents the usual protagonists: the hero and heroine and the antagonists that make up the love rectangle complete. Although, you would expect to hate the antagonists, we are surprised that we are able to love them because of their weaknesses that make them human. In other words, there is not only one main character in this story because all of them are presented equally with a story of their own.

Everyone has someone you've loved so dearly that has passed and you've missed. Someone so precious that you do not want to forget but you know you cannot forgive them for the pain that they caused.

This drama tells a meaningful message that its best to forget the pain and forgive them. Because it is much more endearing to think of the cherished moments and it is better to let them go so that they can easily rest in peace in heaven.

Rude Women (aka Outrageous Women)


I loved this drama soooo much that I just felt the urge to recommend it.

Personally, I don't really like dramas that are waaaay to melodramatic nor too dark. So I was a bit reluctant to watch this at first about a divorced woman who's been deeply hurt in love. What struck me though was that Wikipedia described as the Korean version of Desperate Housewives so I thought it should be playful at the very least.

Rude Women (a.k.a Outrageous Women) (Warning some spoilers)-

What happens to a female character who had a previous hurt marriage due to her ex-husband abandoning her? Would she:
(a) forgive him and forget what pain he caused her or
(b) chase after him until he repents

Wikipedia describes it as the Korean version of Desperate Housewives. I describe it as being similar but without the ridiculous plots (or crazy antics) where characters die and come back from the dead. (No offense to Desperate Housewives fans; I liked it at the beginning but the latter part of the popular show seemed to meander into crazy territory just where it felt so desperate to catch viewer's attention because they couldn't think of any more plots. Ie. Characters that died and come back from the dead? Hello???)

The synopsis enough caught my attention due to the protagonist's dilemma and its endearing protagonist. For some reason she reminded of the wholesome protagonist - from"My Girl's". On the outside we see her as the most successful dentist and a strong single mother and yet as the episodes present - we are slowly seeing her vulnerabilities due to the scar her ex husband brought upon. The story though is not dark at all but more light-hearted similar to "My Girl's". Comedic moments are plenty and brilliantly brought up right when we are caught up in its touching scenes.

I thought that the actress who plays the protagonist, plays the perfect interpretation of a woman who has been hurt, who can't forget and so takes control of making her ex repent instead of just waiting. But unlike the familiar hurt character who easily might go at deep ends, we see her compassionate heart is what prevents her from going into the dark side.

Oh and for those who hate sad endings but also hate clique happy ones, you will surely enjoy this one.
P.S I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism since it's my first time blogging so feel free to comment! ^_^
