Movie Posters Collection (Part 2)

And here are posters of two people who really look good together in their pictorials. Man... if I didn't know about these two I'd immediately conclude that they're a couple! You'd be surprised at their chemistry in pictures... just amazing. By the way, they are Kim Rae Won (Attic Cat, Love Story in Harvard) and Im Soo Jung (I'm Sorry, I Love You).

Ride With Me

The title Ride With Me was inspired by the clothing line that this couple is endorsing: clride. It is in the clride pictorials that we discovered this couple's chemistry because they look so good together and comfortable with each other!

The main picture of the poster is from the fall/winter catalogue of clride, while he other pictures are from the spring/summer catalogue.

Be With You

I was listening to Mr. Big's song, Be With You, the day I made this poster. I was just randomly checking out Rae Won's thread when I saw this adorable picture of them in the motion picture "...ing" and immediately, the song was stuck in my mind.

I'm the one who wants to be with you
deep inside I hope you feel it too...

Movie Posters Collection (Part 1)

I've been having a blast creating movie posters in Adobe Photoshop lately, of course, starring my one and only oppa (the love of my life at this moment) and I've been sharing them in soompi for two weeks now, I think. Today I've decided to share it here in my blog too... for the whole world to see (and figure out how michoso (crazy) I am for Lee Dong Gun oppa.

Here are some of the posters I made:

Chasing Rainbows

Basing on a song entitled "A Million Miles Away" originally done by Joey Albert, I created this poster with a "Nottinghill" inspired storyline in mind, thus explaining the appearance of the picture and the supposed "glares" from cameras flashing. The phrase "chasing rainbows" is included in the song's chorus that says:

Just give it a try, though I'm not chasing rainbows in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams and make believe that it's true
although I know, I know that it's impossible to do
coz' you're a star, people love you as you are,
you're a million miles away from me...

Could You Be Loved

The blurbs I used for this poster starring Lee Dong Gun and his lady-love Han Ji Hye were taken from the song "Happy Together," while the main title is also a title of a song... although I don't know how to sing it or who sang the song. Hehe. Anyway, the picture is an outtake from a scene that was cut from the motion picture "My Boyfriend is Type B" starring these two beautiful people.

So there, I found the picture cute... so I decided to make a movie poster out of it. :)

Return To Me

Return To Me is the mother of all movie posters... it is where all the movie posters I've been churning out had started. It was inspired by the sad back shot of Dong Gun ui oppa which was taken from Lovers in Paris. I found myself just staring at the picture for a few minutes and felt really sad that I decided to make a really sad movie poster out of it. The other picture is a screencap from Lovers in Paris too. If you've seen the series, you might be able to figure that out by yourself, huh?

Fan Fiction Advisory

Hello My Cloudy Eyed Girl readers,

First of all, thank you for all your comments and good remarks about my first Lee Dong Gun inspired fan fic My Cloudy Eyed Girl. I appreciate all the love you've given this blog, and continuously inspire me to write and share what I write. Komapsuhmnida, everyone! You make me happy with every comment you post here... and with every show of support you give to my oppa. :)

Currently, I am writing a new fan fiction entitled Be Still, My Heart, also starring Lee Dong Gun and Kwon Sang Woo. I'm aiming for it to be a beautiful yet tragic love story of four souls who found love in each other but have to eventually let it go.

For that, I'm sharing with you a sample artwork I made for the next fan fic. I hope you guys like it.

Be Still, My Heart: Artwork by Tara
Edited as of August 26, 2005


I am hoping that you will welcome Be Still, My Heart in the manner that you have embraced My Cloudy Eyed Girl. Hopefully also, I can finish the story as soon as possible so that you will not miss the fictional but still lovable Lee Dong Gun filling in a new role.

Again, thank you very much for the time you have given My Cloudy Eyed Girl. Heaven bless your hearts!

Tama ba 'to?

Just logged in to soompi and stationed myself in my oppa's thread when I saw these animated gifs of him in Stained Glass posted by cometgao... she posted four gifs, but only one really caught my friggin' attention!!!

It's this one!



Waaaahhh! Tama ba namang lagyan pa ng arrow yung dibdib ni oppa... eh kahit hindi niya lagyan dun talaga ako napapatingin! Parang may subtitle na: "Katawan ko lang ba ang habol mo?" Waaaahhhh!!!

*dies*

Stage Mother Syndrome itoh?

Daym! It's Thursday today and I haven't even seen an episode of Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin! Nakakainis! It's just good that Pauline gave me these beautiful screencaps:


JC Cuadrado as Stephen Cheng in the ABS-CBN teleserye Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin.


Shet!!!

Pa-rant lang ako ha?

Ang guwapo naman ni JC dito! He looks very matured for his age, which is ONLY 19! And I heard from some people I trust that he delivered his lines well in the show! Grabe... hindi na talaga ako makapaniwala na artista na ang anak ko! Hahaha! Parang kailan lang eh magkasama kami sa isang dressing room at naglalabas ng mga angst sa buhay, pumupunta ako sa mga guesting niya, nili-link kami ni Kuya Vhong sa isa't isa, binibigyan niya ako ng cotton candy galing sa set ng Showbiz #1 pag may taping... tapos ngayon, huhuhu... isa na siyang STAR (in a Million?)!!! Hahaha!!!

Shet... ito na ata ang nagagawa ng sobrang pago-overtime.

I miss you JC... and I'm so friggin' proud of you!

My "baby" is now an... actor???

My last picture with JC. Christmas 2004.I just got off the phone with my big "baby" JC Cuadrado (I call him "baby" despite his relatively huge built because I called my TadJock Questionables my "anaks" back then and he was the closest to me), and my hands are friggin' shaking!

Why?

Well, his first guesting episode in Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin aired tonight, and as I read this news passed on to me by my friend Mitzi, my head suddenly started spinning. JC is an actor now? I can hardly believe it. Not that I don't believe JC's abilities and talents... it's just surreal to think that someone I've grown that close to is now beginning to really make his mark on TV through a TV drama.

JC told me it was just a "guesting" thing... that his episodes might just run for a week or so... but it's thrilling to know that he was considered for a role in that production. Just this moment, I forgot the issues I had been wanting to talk to JC about and just congratulated him for being in that TV drama. I'm just so proud I was actually teary-eyed when I talked to him over the phone.

Jace... "baby"... Sobrang proud si Mammi Tara sa iyo. Swear. Like I always say, don't be afraid to explore all the possibilities and opportunities that are served to you. I know you have your own dreams and you're aiming for something in your life, but enjoy all the stops while you're at it. Be real... be yourself, don't forget where you came from, and most especially, don't forget the people who are always, always praying for your success and will be doubly happy to see you succeed.

I love you, "baby JC!"

If you wanna catch JC's acting debut, watch Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin every weeknight (this week) on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida.

Life is Cool

I'm sharing this really cool song by Sweetbox called Life is Cool. It's a song that tells you that we might be experiencing bad moments in our lives every once in a while, but if we look at our own lives through the eyes of other people, we might just say that "Man, my life is so cool."

Further backstory: I first heard this song the night I was in Dusit Hotel, hoping to catch a glimpse of my oppa Lee Dong Gun. I met up with fellow soompiers who were there: Quellie, moshimoss and lalyn. Unfortunately, because we came in late already (around 11pm), we were unable to see oppa. However, I was delighted to get to know my fellow soompiers, and Quellie introduced me to this little video of oppa created by his Japanese official site members (Donggunazooms).

The video featured Dong Gun ui oppa in lots of little takes where he was smiling or laughing, and I swear if you watch it you will smile and laugh yourself. In the said video, Sweetbox' Life is Cool is playing in the background, and the song was stuck in my mind ever since.

So here... I'd like you guys to listen to it too. Just click on oppa's picture to download. Please wait patiently as it may take some time. :) (Link expires on August 25.)

Download Life is Cool by Sweetbox
"My life is so cool from a different point of view."


Enjoy!

Artwork: Don't mess with Lee

Here's something I made out of my oppa's sexy picture for a clothing brand in Korea. Wah!!! I'm going ga-ga over him... really! All I do nowadays is bask in his glory over at soompi and create movie posters for him!!!


Don't mess with Lee. Created in Adobe Photoshop 6.0. August 18, 2005.


Dayum! My oppa is so sexy!!!

Sharing is cool!

Lately I've been having a blast spending time in my second home on the net: The Soompi Forums! Not only do they have the widest forums for Kdrama-holics like me, they also "house" some of the nicest people on the planet!!!

I've been getting to know people from several threads I'm frequenting, namely, The Lee Dong Gun thread, All Things Kim Rae Won thread, Jung Woo Sung thread, So Ji Sub thread, and many more... and one thing I noticed with the people there is that they're very nice and generous for Kdrama-holics like me who hunger for information and wonderful photos of my Korean hunks.

As you might have noticed, this blog of mine has already been invaded by Korean faces... and most of the pictures I've posted here are from the soompi forums. If you're a Kdrama-holic like me, and you want to get to know your K-hunk better... you might want to try joining in.

My cousin just joined soompi two weeks ago and didn't start posting until last week, but she's been getting so many warm welcomes already. The people on the thread she's frequenting (Kim Rae Won, Im Soo Jung threads, etc.) have been very generous providing her with info and a humongous amount of pictures we've been planning to make wallies out of.

I just wanna give you examples of the marvelous photos I've gotten from soompi. Here we go... First off are pictures of Kim Rae Won (Attic Cat, Love Story in Harvard). My cousin likes him so much... and I liked him also when I saw My Little Bride. He has a cute face which always seems to smile. The people in his thread refer to him as "Prince Rae Won." Cute, noh?

Found on the All Things Kim Rae Won thread.


Here are some pics of everyone's CHOLO! Hahaha! Kwon Sang Woo (Stairway to Heaven, Sad Sonata) is my bestfriend Macri's crush. I also like him because I think he's a very versatile actor. He can make me laugh, cry and fall in love... I especially like his dancing stint in Love, So Divine.

The people in his thread are divided into two groups: The Dreamers and the Droolers. The Dreamers are those who want him and Choi Ji Woo (Stairway to Heaven, Beautiful Days) to end up together, while The Droolers are the ones who would like to keep Sang Woo for themselves!

Found on the Kwon Sang Woo thread.


So Ji Sub (I'm Sorry I Love You, Memories of Bali) might be known to most as Ryan Kang from ABS-CBN 2's Memories of Bali, but he will always be the one who made my cousin Pearl cry for nights on end while we watched his every agonizing moment in I'm Sorry, I Love You. People on his thread are so generous as to translate his DVD commentary for others to appreciate the package (the commentary didn't have subs, just the series). Sa'n ka pa???

Found on the So Ji Sub thread.


If So Ji Sub was Ryan Kang, meet Paolo Jung or Jo In Sung (Memories of Bali, Spring Days), my ajushi... hehe. (Mitzi and I just had to separate "oppa" from "ajushi") His thread is relatively inactive in soompi because he has his own forums, Sweet Insung. Mind you... the people there are very nice too! Majority of them are Filipinas, by the way!

Aww... it's Jo In Sung ajushi!!!
Jo In Sung pictorial. Gorgeous, isn't he?
Found on the Jo In Sung thread.


And finally... of course. My oppa. ;) I've been receiving lots of love lately from my oppa's thread. Heehee. The people are very nice and sweet. Actually, most of the people I've been interacting with in soompi are nice and sweet, but of course, iba magmahal ang kapamilya... and I consider my Lee Dong Gun sisters as family.

In oppa's thread, there's a big family called The Dreamers. The Dreamers are the ones who wish that Dong Gun oppa and Han Ji Hye would end up together. The Dreamers are divided into two more sub-groups, The Fainting Club and The Dying Club. ;) Go figure what their members do when they see oppa. Hehe. And guess which club I belong to!!!

Really guys... I swear if you're Kdrama-holics you will enjoy posting, picture-collecting and bantering with other holics like you! So... join soompi now! Wag niyo kalimutang i-visit ang thread ng oppa ko ha??? ;) See you there!

Special shout outs to my friends at soompi: quellieph, Rafaelle, szne09, kellee, mikku, mirca, gracie_babe, moshimoss, luckycarrie, midnightblue, zekeshocks and the rest who make my everyday more Korean!!! Love you all!

No time to blog

Great. I have an internet-based job which requires me to be in front of the PC for eight friggin' hours, and I DON'T have time to BLOG!!! How sad...

Hey, so anyway, I just want to answer these tags. Tinatamad akong sumagot sa tagboard. Maiksi kasi lang dapat.

Here we go:

marion: wait... paano ba naiiba yung comments na link dun sa haloscan???

Hi Marion! Just go to the Settings page of your Haloscan account and look for Comments Link Text. You can fill up your desired Comments Link there(in my case, it's kiss mo naman ako) and then save your updates. You might not see it agad sa blog mo, so I suggest you click the Force update link below the settings page so that the update you did will appear already.

Got me? Good. Thanks for dropping by. See you at Pex!

Rix: Waaah. Dapat surprise yung fic ko eh. LOL. Di pa kasi tapos, la time para tutukan e.

No problem with that, girl. Nakakatuwa nga yung ginawa mo eh. Siyempre... kasi inspired ni oppa. I do hope you could post new chapters soon. Para naman may mabasa rin akong iba bukod sa sinulat ko. Hahaha!

chris: ate tara, kamukha ni rustom padilla yung nasa taas na pic... hehe. ganda ng d anothers! =)

Linsyak ka! Hindi kamukha ni Rustom Padilla si In Sung ajushi ko noh? Azar. Minsan ka na nga lang pumupunta sa blog ko, mang-aasar ka pa.

Buti na lang, nanood ka ng D' Anothers. You're off the hook this time. Hahaha.

argh: astig naman ng layout nito..

Hi argh. Astig ng name ah. Hehe. Just kidding.

I visited your blog. I laughed my head off with the Job Predictor thingy. Thanks for tuning in to my blog! God bless.

faye: hi ate tara!!..how r u doing?

Hello, bunso! I'm fine, I'm getting by. I miss you na. Kayong dalawa ni Kuya actually. Sorry kung hindi ako makapagtext nang madalas ha? Alam mo naman...

Ingat ka always. Love you.

wella: kamustasa?

Wella! Heto... masaya naman. Medyo problemado nang kaunti. Meron akong gustong bitiwan pero hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa kanya. Parang pang binitiwan ko siya, na-betray ko na yung trust niya. Alam mo na yun.

Nakakainis kasi eh. Hindi ako makaporma. Hindi ako makabuwelo sa gagawin ko. Try pa rin naman ako ng best ko, pero yung katawan ko iisa lang. Parang totoo yung kasabihan na "One cannot serve two masters at the same time."

Nalulungkot ako dahil doon. Seriously.

pauline: gands naman ng pic nyo ni kuya Vhong!! LOL. Hangkyut! Hehe.. tag me back naman oh ate Tars! TC!!

Hi Pauline! Mukhang nagiging suki kita ah! Maraming salamat! Hehe... matagal na yung pic namin ni Kuya. Last year pa yan... parang May ata. Teambuilding namin... nakakatuwa.

Ayan, na-miss ko tuloy siya.

This is all for now, guys. Love out! xxx

What can I say? The words have it all. Man, I'm a sucker for sad lovesongs.

Heaven Knows (The Angel Has Flown)
Orange & Lemons

There are times 
when I'm lying in my bed
Hug my pillow and cry 
from this tip again
And my eyes are like windshields 
on a rainy day
Almost rubbed down, 
swelling, as I keep on
Dipping my face in these 
cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how bitter I am

Chorus
'Cause this angel has 
flown away from me
Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings 
and made her mine
For all eternity
Now this angel has 
flown away from me
Thought I had the strength 
to set her free
Did what I did because 
I love her so
Will she ever find 
her way back home to me
Aah...

I'm so tired, 
I feel like catching forty winks
Being up all night 
in this elbow room
That puts me in a trance
Where hopes and 
dreams come true
Now my lips are burning 
and my eyes are hurting
From this fuse I mixed 
till I light another
Cigarette just to pass my time, oh
Heaven knows how bitter I am
