Seoul!

I'm coming home, I'm coming home,
Tell the world that I'm coming home!!

I'll finally be making that trip to Seoul come July! Woohoo!!! I know it's not exactly right around the corner, but it's near enough innit??

I'm going the the Land Of The Morning Calm, and will be pigging out on all my favorite goodies (alert the weighing scales, I am so gonna pack on the pounds, but it'll all be SO WORTH IT!)

This is definitely something I want to try in Seoul, as the last time I had it, I was in Kuching and IT WAS FANTASTIC! But this seems a little lonely without the mayonnaise and cheese sauces that was dripping off the potato in Kuching, I wonder if there are any sauces like that in Seoul... Hmm..

Anyone gonna be around in Seoul in July? Let me know!!

Love,

Chonsa

After a long silence

I am back!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am well and slowly coming back out of the shell that I have been in over the past one month. It's been a long time since I last posted, or basically done anything fun on the internet, so I am dreadfully behind news and dramas and such.

Oh well...

Anyways, I will be making my presence felt every now and then, so see you guys around here soon! I've missed everyone!

Love,

Chonsa

^^

Love,

Chonsa

And it's...

... the last month of the year again...

So 2010 has been a somewhat exciting, tumultuous, exhausting yet refreshing year for me. Did a lot of things that I never thought I'd do, and met with a lot of friends that I had not seen in ages. This year was also another one that made me realize that there are so many other things that I can do, that I should do, but I had refrained from doing.

Which isn't right, is it?

SO I guess 2010 was a year of enlightenment for me? In a way, yeah...

Looking back on the year, I see that I have sort of moved on and away from a few things. Friends have drifted away, and some have grown closer, but we all know that we do think of each other and care right? I love you guys! *hugs*

I think I will be going back to law, been tutoring first years, and it's weird seeing how different it is to be a student and to actually impart knowledge. And it made me realize how much I missed law. How weird is that? I used to feel trapped by it, and now, I feel like I need to go back and see a family member that I have missed for ages.

And it's been great having this place as an outlet for things in my life, and to know that I am not alone here in my realm of fandom. Even though it may seem that I am a fan of something that has been forgotten by time, I really don't think that it matters. Why should me liking something have to have a time limit? Why must there be an expiry date on something as simple as that? I won't stop doing anything I want to do just because someone else thinks that I need to wake up and smell the coffee. I do smell the coffee, and it's great. I just like having my cake with my coffee as well, thank you very much!

Which pretty much says that I will still be blogging here, even if it may not be as often as before. But I won't give this up! ^^

Anyways, I have been watching both Secret Garden and Mary Stayed Out All Night and both dramas are simply AMAZING!!! Especially Mary, I would wanna get married too if I had a Kang Mu Gyul in my life.

Ya, Kang Mu Gyul! Where are you? I am waiting!

Christmas is coming soon as well!! The cheer and present buying has started since what, September? But it's finally starting to kick in now that it's DECEMBER!!! ^^

So how has this year treated you guys? Good? Bad? Let me know, I always feel that I don't know you guys enough, and I wish that I did. So share with me sometimes, yeah? I do read comments and stuff, despite my lack of replies.

But I will reply!

Eventually.

Hehe.

Love,

Chonsa

Just because...

I smile.. doesn't mean that I don't hurt...

I laugh... doesn't mean that I don't cry..

I pretend that every thing is okay... doesn't mean that I have forgotten every thing that has happened...

I sleep soundly at night... doesn't mean that I don't have demons haunting me...

I walk with my head held high... doesn't mean that I am not broken inside...

I sing and dance... doesn't mean that I don't feel like hiding away by myself in sorrow...

I drink my wine and be merry... doesn't mean that I don't try to numb the pain I feel in me...

I walk away from everything... doesn't mean that I don't want to hold it within me...

I seem like I can love again... doesn't mean that my heart is whole again once more...

I reach out with my arms wide open... doesn't mean that I will receive as much as I have given...

Just because I want you to be happy... doesn't mean that I am happy...

It's been practically a month...

... since I last updated here! I know, I know, I am a horrible correspondent.

Or a blog upkeeper.

Oh well.

Been going through some revamping in my life, made several crucial decisions and finally come to live with the fact that while I do make wrong decisions sometimes, they have been important parts of my life.

Anyways, to cut a long story short, I've done quite a fair bit of readjusting and basically brought everything back to point one.

And I am happy.

Now I have a little more time to do things that I enjoy, and to think of where I am headed off to now. Plus, I recently bought myself a HUGE TV to hog in my room, and I am truly enjoying watching everything supersized!

Ah, bliss!!

My parents are enjoying seeing me do that, as can be seen from the way they keep opening my door to check in on me and to ask if I want anything. I think they're just happy that I am home. Haha!

I will be updating a bit more later, just trying to sort out what I want to do first, so hopefully there'll be quite a lot of buzz from me over the next few days!

Later, guys!

Love,

Chonsa

My lovely land of the long white cloud

Aaahhh....

I never thought I'd miss Wellington this badly, but I do. I remember thinking that Welly was a great place, but just not happening enough. It was a nice place to lead a stoic, but fulfilling life, but just not enough excitement.

Which was what I was craving for the minute I was done with uni.

And so I moved, and tried a series of new things, new experiences. Did a lot of things that I think I shouldn't have, but, hey no regrets!

Until a friend from good old Welly came to visit. It was fantastic meeting him again, discussing our favourite haunts, talking about what has changed. Remarkably, a lot has changed in the years that I have not been back. Not drastic changes of course, but enough to make me feel like I've been away for decades. It's just one of those personal things, that only I'd feel I think.

And he's going back home this weekend.

And it struck me.

How much I longed to be on that flight back as well. I miss my coffees, I miss my library. I miss Hell's pizza and partying down Courteney. I miss the pies from the local delis, and the chips from Mr. Bun. I miss my good old TVB aunty who used to smile at me and ask me 'Sik jor fan mei ah, sai mui?' and would always keep the episodes of the dramas that I wanted on hold for me, despite the fact that others would want the same episodes as well.

I miss the ajumma from the Korean restaurant on Manners who would always cook up a pajeon for me when I go for my jajjangmyun. The ajussi who would always ask me if I wanted a fried egg on top of my jajjangmyun. And his familiar smile and wave goodbye as he says 'Kungbu chalhaeyaji. Nei il do ua!'

I miss the regular buses, I miss the train station. I miss the bookstores, the countless cafes dotted all over darling Welly. I miss going to Mt. Victoria at night and seeing the lights all over the city. The firework displays on Guy Fawkes. The cable car rides to botanical gardens, the familiar walk up Kelburn to reach my classes at Murphy, shopping at Glassons and Shanton and all around Lambton. Taking the bus to Karori to meet my friends. Going all the way to Newlands just to have dinner.

I miss Te Papa, I miss the harbour, heck I even miss New World and their daily specials.

But most of all I miss my friends and family. I miss everyone whom I used to see everyday, at any time.

Gosh, Welly... I just miss you.

I want to go back too...

*Sigh*

More on 장난스런 Kiss

More on Hyun Joong's latest drama project!

The posters and the trailers are out, and it seems like the excitement is mounting for this drama! I have to admit, Jung So Min is absolutely adorable in the posters and trailer. I have a strong feeling that this drama is going to garner a lot of fans rooting for their pairing.

Hyun Joong seems to be a lot more smiley in the trailer compared to the Japanese and Taiwanese male leads, who carried on a more sullen, nonchalant air about the female lead.

Although I think that he's just being smiley for the sake of the trailer. I mean, the pics that were released during their walk to school had Hyun Joong looking every bit as sullen as Joe Cheng.

And Joe Cheng is absolutely fantastic! I loved him in all his roles, but my absolute fave has got to be the androgynous role that he took on in The Rose. Now who can hate Kui, who was so confused yet so determined to love, and be loved in return?

Plus he was just so super adorable when he was bratty with his siblings, and so full of himself!!

I heart Kui.

But I digress. Back to 장난!!

The drama looks so cute! I can't wait to watch it already!

장난 Fighting!!

P/S: Trailers are up on YouTube, just type it in and uber cuteness will fill your screen!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO....

ME!!!!!!!

Yes, I have aged another year, but I still feel not that wise. Hmmm... Which means that I still wanna be a kid.

YES!

I am a child at heart!

I want a PSP, You're Beautiful Director's Cut DVD Set, a ticket to Korea, and the list goes on and on...

But mostly, I wanna have an outing where all the cave women are present!

And I want everyone to be happy, healthy and always loved!

Love,

Chonsa

Hyun Joong says 'Goodbye'

Hyun Joong finally made the plunge and left DSP Entertainment. I know that there are countless of reports out there churning out all the same info that he has left DSP for Bae Yong Joon's Keyeast, but I thought that I'd just share my thoughts on this matter.

It's been something that has brought about much speculation ever since news came out that his contract with DSP was ending and that he was being scouted by other companies. Would he stay? Would he move on? Some people viewed this as a test of his loyalty and of his character as DSP were the ones who 'found' him, moulded him, made him the 'Kim Hyun Joong, Asian superstar' that we all know and love today.

Honestly speaking, I am grateful to DSP for polishing this stone into the fine gem that he is today. One cannot deny that without the backing and smart marketing of agencies, even the most talented people can go unnoticed. But does that mean that he should stay on just because they were the ones who gave him the opportunity to be where he is today?

Maybe, to some people.

But there's also another faction which believes that one should always look forward, look for ways to further improve oneself. As well as learn how to grab opportunities when they come knocking, especially when one feels that one can achieve so much more in another place.

I don't know what his reasons for leaving are, but all I know is one thing, that as a fan, I'll support whatever decision he makes. Only he knows what he's going through and to be able to make such a decision, I believe that he has thought everything through and found out that at the end of the day, this is the right choice.

So my take on the matter is, congratulations Hyun Joong! I look forward to seeing more success from you!

Plus it wouldn't hurt if you added some extra, extremely favorable news as well!

Just my two cents on the matter!

Updates on me!!

Hey there guys!

How has it been going for everyone out there? I've been busy finishing up some work and clearing out things before I set off jetsetting again!

I will be holidaying in Singapore and Malaysia, although just for a few days. Gosh, I'm looking forward to spending time with friends and eating glorious food....

How about you guys? Taking some time off to enjoy life too?

Love,

Chonsa

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HYUN JOONG!

It's the 6th of June once more!!!

Happy, happy birthday Kim Hyun Joong! I wish you happiness, success and most of all, LOVE!

Have a great day!

P/S: To all you guys

I read about the present that you guys sent him, and I must applaud everyone of you for all the effort and the love shown to the both of them. KUDOS GUYS!

I'll definitely try to participate in Hwang Bo's present, so do keep me updated on the projects yeah? ^^!

And, I was planning to post something else up today, but I'm not sure if I can get it done in time, but I will try my best! It's nothing much, but I just felt like posting something different this time. Hehe!

Love,

Chonsa

Heyya guys

Heyya guys,

It's me! I'm back! ^^Y!!

Well, not really though.

I know that it's been really silent here for ages now, and I'm sorry for that. However, I think that I may be a little quiet for a while more. I can't really say anything at the moment, but I'll try to update a little every now and then.

It's been really bad for a while, I missed so many events like their 2 year and other projects and stuff, but it's great seeing the love continuing to grow! I just wish I played a more active part in all this now, it's gotten to a point where it's almost like it's time for me to retire and see the rest carry on the flame.

But being the greedy person that I am, I insist on staying on for a long time more!

Thanks guys for being so understanding all this while, I know that you guys are the best out there!

I love you guys, you know that right?

Love,

Chonsa

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the lovely mothers out there, MINE especially!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I know I don't say it as often as I should, and I know that I can come off as one of the biggest ingrates in the world, but honestly mum, I love you to bits.

As much as the skies and the land, I love you.

사랑한다... 엄마...

I love you all!!

Heyya guys!

Thanks for all the words of encouragement, hope and love that you guys left me after my rather emotional post. It was really gratifying to read whatever you guys said, and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I think I have fallen in love with all of you!

Although there was that occasional weird advertisement... why would anyone try to promote their goods when I'm baring my emotions is seriously beyond me.

Please advertisement people. Try to advertise on happy posts only. ^^

I am feeling loads better guys, loads loads better. And I will pull myself back to becoming the happy go lucky, optimistic person that you all know!

Saranghae!!!!!

Love,

Chonsa

Reflections

Hey there guys,

I've been thinking a lot lately. Had a few things happen, and a few things that didn't happen.. A bit of this and that, but then hey, that's what life is about innit?

Reflecting back on the past two years, I think I have kinda done quite a few things. But I've also paid the price for such actions. I don't know if I can really express myself, but I wish I treated some people better. I wish I was more honest with them. And I wish I could make it up to them, but in a way, it's too late. I took too long. And I can't do anything about it anymore.

Oh well. That's just the way things are sometimes.

Gosh, I just feel so negative.

I think I'm gonna go watch Joongbo again. For the first time in about a year. I need to watch something sincere, something real. Something... that puts the faith back in you.

And maybe, I'll be more positive. And real. And more... me.

My life's events, events, come my way! Y^_^Y

Sorry about the emo post I'm writing, I just needed to get it off my chest.

Love,

Chonsa

Hwang Bo Picspam

This is to make up for the lack of Hwang Bo updates... And because I wanted to decorate my blog a little!

I miss Hwang Bo.. and Hyun Joong.. I miss Jins... I miss that happy little family..

Blurryfella, o Blurryfella, where art thou? I need your trusty sleuthing skills to uncover more goodies for us! Come back soon!!

*Credits: Naver.com*

Heyya guys!

Heyya everyone!!!!!

A brief note for now, I've been a little preoccupied lately.. Haha, I know I know, I just said that I'd be updating more often and look at me. I apologize!!

Anyways, I have just received some really good and promising news!! As of now, it hasn't been confirmed or anything, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

I will be sharing the news with everyone soon and although it may never get confirmed (or at least not so soon), I think it's nice to have some hope!

Another thing is that Blurryfella87 will be joining on as a guest blogger! Most of you guys will know her from Soompi, and she's a really great person and spazzy friend to have! She will also be posting more news that she sources from places that I'd never think of looking! Plus she's a really good person to analyze and search for CSI bits with! All I can say is, thank goodness she's on holiday now!! So do look out for more posts added by her!

Love and support all the way for all of us!

Thanks guys!

Love,

Chonsa

Greetings guys!

Hey there guys!!! It's been so long, I've missed everyone!

I know that it's really late and the year has already started in full swing, but I wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I was meaning to leave messages during the holiday season, but I got too carried away with my holidays, muahahahaha! It was a good break from everything, and I'm now raring to go!

A new year, a new start, and a whole load of things to look forward to! I'll be posting more often this year, promise!

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas, a smashing New Year and a wonderful holiday!
