* Thursday, September 29, 2005 * "I'll never go far away from you..."Seeing the Stained Glass : Once Again teaser at 1:30 in the morning made me want to scream, cry and faint. (Wag muna die, saka na yun!) I was one of the Pinay LDG Dreamers who first saw the teaser, and was online at the time so siyempre mega-balita ako sa Donggun Domain. Excited? Super. Now, Stained Glass isn't really my favorite Lee Dong Gun drama, but the thought of seeing him again on Philippine TV made my heart really happy. I rarely watch Sweet 18 on GMA-7 kasi it's too early (puyatera kasi ako), and Sang-Doo Let's Go to School's (ano ba title nito sa GMA???) timeslot is within my workshift so I really don't see much of oppa these days unless I camp out in Donggun Domain nga. So... sige na nga. Kahit siniraan ng ABS-CBN Publishing si oppa sa The Buzz magazine last month, I'm happy pa rin because ABS-CBN's going to air Stained Glass again. Meaning, I will be able to see oppa's crooked ties, droopy eyes and one-sided smiles. Not to mention the kissing scene which took 6 hours to shoot! (Curse you, Ha Neul! Curse you! Hahaha! Jus' kidding!) I'll never go far away from you... even the sky will tell you that I need you so... I can still remember one of the lines that Lee Dong Gun's character said in he series, which reflects the emotion I have right now (I might be paraphrasing, okay?): Pakiramdam mo, hawak mo ang buong mundo habang hinihintay mo ang mahal mo... And I definitely, I feel like I own the whole world waiting to see my Lee Dong Gun. <3 Stained Glass : Once Again airs over ABS-CBN 2 beginning this Sunday after ASAP Fanatic. * Wednesday, September 28, 2005 * ... ingI'm missing my *beb*. Actually, I'm missing the rest of the Wazzup people I've been close to. Allow me to reminisce and remember my closest Wazzup friends... and what I miss about them. THE STAFF I miss Chaps and... :: His impersonation of Mike Enriquez (Mga kapuso... ehem, ehem, excuse me po!). :: His funny face even though he's not trying to be funny. :: His "angry" disposition during Monday, kasi episode niya. Ngarasst siya. :: His OC-ness with the newspaper rations. ("Pag ginulo niyo yang mga yan, papatayin ko kayo!) :: His REALLY big hug and the words, "Tara, ipinahamak ba kita?" I miss Jigs and... :: His impression of the announcer in Flirt, a bar somewhere in Cubao. ("Allan get up on stage right now, Chappy get read-eh (ready)!) :: His hilarious (but anonymous!) notes in the Wazzup logbook. :: His impression of a photocopying machine when he writes his Reklamador scripts. (Sumusuka ng script is more like it!) :: His very big and chubby tummy! I miss Allan (bakz) and... :: The way he walks around ABS-CBN. (According to Chaps, parang sawa na raw sa buhay niya.) :: His impersonation of Ms. Noemi, with matching piyok! :: The way he laughs when he makes kuwento of his gimik the night before. :: His immortal line >> (Over the phone, at 2:00am: "Tara, ano'ng gagawin ko???) I miss Ate Shey and... :: Her extremely long notes in the Wazzup logbook. Minsan kalokohan, minsan kadramahan. :: The fun times we had shooting Reklamador. :: The agony of shooting Marinara. (Na-miss ko raw? Bwahahaha!) :: Our kalandian when there are guwapo guys around the set. I miss Ate Bebeth and... :: Her kajologsan. (Wahaha! Mabuhay ka, Ate Bebeth!) :: Making kulit about Tonioke. :: Practicing Tonioke with her. :: The stubborn way she makes pilit her lyrics para magkasya sa stanza. :: Her sweetness and caring nature. I miss Papa Eric and... :: Our very GAY song games we played in North Harbor. :: His mp3 player which has If I'm Not In Love With You and Like A Prayer. :: His being very patient with me. As in. :: Him calling me Mama when I call him Papa. (Kiligin daw ba?) I miss Mark and... :: Eating in Mr. Kabab with him! :: The way he laughs, na parang wala nang bukas. :: "Gusto mo yon..." -- Mark's staple lines. :: His "innocent" kabastusan. Kabastusan pero feeling inosente! Asus! I miss Red and... :: His car! (Wahahaha!!!) :: His cd player and headphones. :: Yung pagka-feeling niya na asawa niya si Kitchie Nadal. :: Our "bull" session in Gerardo's... without the "bull." (Anu kaya yun?) I miss Sheiden and... :: Our very intimate bonding moments. Usapang heart. Sa loob ng CR ng ELJ 2nd floor!!! :: Calling her "beb." :: Daydreaming of Drew with her. (Wahahaha! Bukuhan na!) :: Eating adobo mushroom in MIP with her. :: Listening to "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Just Take My Heart" with her sa Wazzup office. Hay... I'm missing a lot of people and a lot of things. Generally, I miss the Wazzup people because they're as insane as me... and sometimes even more! But, however insane they may be, they're still my first family in ABS-CBN! Shout-outs to the original Wazzup gang! You know who you are!!! *wink, wink* Hope to meet you one of these days! Chongmal saranghanda... <3 My Sassy GirlI know that this post is long overdue. As in LOOOONG OVERDUE. I've seen My Sassy Girl quite a few times already, and it never fails to amuse me. It's not the first Korean movie I've seen, but it WAS the first Korean movie I've seen in FULL. Most of the movies I've seen in Arirang I started in the middle or towards the end already. So... technically, this is the first Korean movie I've seen. (Dami pang sinabi, ganun din naman pala ang kalalabasan. Shet!) Anyhoo, I think it's cool that My Sassy Girl is gonna be shown in Philippine theaters soon (October 13, mark your calendars, people!). I haven't seen any other Korean film shown in local theaters other than those horror movies. I wished they show more romantic comedies, because Koreans really make good ones. I swear. No "Sarang hae yo." Some people say My Sassy Girl is a wonderful romantic movie. Some people say it's overrated and there's nothing really special about it. I say, My Sassy Girl really amazed me. Koreans have this knack for putting in little elements in their movies and serials that somehow don't make sense or don't seem to matter in the beginning. These elements continuously appear throughout the movie until we all realize in the end that they are really important plot points or themes. My Sassy Girl is no different. It has little elements scattered all over it that you might miss when you watch it for the first time, and then when you go watch it again, you'll be able to say, "Ah... oo nga noh!" I liked My Sassy Girl because of its elements. (I'm not going to enumerate them one by one because not all of you might have seen it.) It made me watch the film with a keen eye and an open mind for symbolisms. More than that, the movie also taught me that you CAN make a romantic movie without making the actors say "I love you" to one another. For those who've seen the film, did you notice that never once in the entire film that the lead actors said "I love you" to each other? And yet when we get to the end of the movie, we believe so earnestly that the two leads (played excellently by Jeon Ji Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun) are completely in love with each other. Hayop 'diba? Just when we thought romance consisted of constant "I love you's," roses, kisses and embraces, here comes a movie that totally breaks through that stereotype and tells us that love can blossom from constant "Wanna die's," short futuristic stories, face slaps and shoe exchanges. It's that good. Hmmm... Makapanood na nga sa October 13! Mitzi, magtawag na tayo ng mga ka-relihiyon natin!

Actually, I'm just trying this Flickr function for blogs... kaya eto, text post. I don't remember when this picture was taken. Basta... I was in Wazzup pa then, and I think si Kapatid na Red ang kumuha nitong pic na ito. Hahaha! Busy-busyhan ang lola niyo! * Sunday, September 25, 2005 * "Kuya" ManiaI haven't really been able to watch Pinoy Big Brother that much since it started because of my shift schedule, but I try to learn about the happenings in the show through their website and the Up Late episodes. Yesterday was the second eviction night, and I'm quite contented that the person I wanted to get evicted was the one who got evicted. (Hahaha! JB-hater!) Personally, my bets are Franzen, Jayson, and Nene. I hope they all stay longer inside the house, and that one of them wins the Grand Prize. Anyhoo... my friend Wella sent this over today, and I was really laughing my head off at this. Let me now direct you to the person beside me in the succeeding pic: ![]() Click on the picture to view its original size. It's UMA!!! I got to meet Uma around this time last year in Starbucks ELJ Building. He was with my friend, Kuya Ruel, and another friend, Ayan. Wella and I were waiting for Michael to finish an interview, and they became our instant chatmates. Nakakatuwa lang, after losing contact with Uma and Ayan (I saw Ayan a couple of times after pa), bigla na lang nasa Pinoy Big Brother na siya! Hahaha! Well... all I can say is good luck to Uma, although hindi ko siya bet! Wahahaha! Ang sama! It's still interesting to watch him in PBB everyday, marami akong natututunan sa kanya! Wahahaha!!! *sings* Pinoy ikaw ay Pinoy, ipakita sa mundo... * Saturday, September 24, 2005 * Lee Dong Gun Film Festival!!!Wow... September 09 was my last post? Jeez! I'm so sorry to those who have been very patient with me, waiting for updates on my blog right here. It's just that nothing really THAT eventful is happening to me right now, that's why I have nothing to say. Hahaha! Actually, the one thing that keeps me really kippeun (happy) these days is Dong Gun Domain. The people there are just so michoso like me, I love it!!! So yeah... I've been hanging out there basically everyday, and I've been sharing my artworks with them. Quite frankly, it's the only facet of my existence (naks, lalim! Anu yun?) that's worth sharing right now, so... without further ado, here's my new collection of Lee Dong Gun fantasy movie posters. Note: I've resized them so that those with slow connections could access my blog quickly (ehem, Peter!). Just click on the icons to see the original version. ;) Hope you like them! ![]() Left: Out of Reach : Adobe Photoshop 7.0 [ Texturizer, Opacity Changes, Shadows ] Right: Rebel Without a Cause : Adobe Photoshop 7.0 [ Poster Edges, Opacity Changes, Shadows ] ![]() Music of my Heart : Adobe Photoshop 7.0 [ Luminosity, Free Transform, Healing Brush, Shadows ] May I add that the Rebel Without a Cause poster was inspired by a conversation sparked among Dong Gun Dinnertime Gang members @shley, suz and yours truly? Thanks to my lovely sisters, I made a really strong-looking poster like that. Loving it! ROMdotCOM: Love is online. My Dreamer sisters and I recently started a collaboration fan fic collectively entitled ROMdotCOM. It stars seven different couples in seven separate but somehow interconnected stories. The funny thing about it is that all seven stories star Lee Dong Gun in his different soap and movie characters! Currently, we are "webcasting" all the Chapter Fours of the fan fic in Dong Gun Domain, so if you guys wanna have a whiff of just how crazy we all are, do drop by at our domain and camp out with us! Meanwhile, here are five (I just finished five) of the fantasy movie posters inspired by five of the seven fics under the ROMdotCOM fan fic umbrella.

That was quite a lot, wasn't it? Well, that's what's occupying my time right now, besides work, of course! I hope you enjoyed my little Lee Dong Gun fantasy Film Festival!!! Till next! * Friday, September 09, 2005 * Tags and Random ThingsDarn. Would you believe that I got sick (I'm asthmatic, hindi lang halata) and absented myself from work on my baby John's birthday??? (September 6, Tuesday) Ampangit ng timing, diba? Demmet. ![]() Baby John and Eliza posing like Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa. Cuteness! Anyway... I wanna greet my baby John a belated Happy Birthday! Sorry dear, wala pa yun gift ko sa iyo. Hayaan mo, magbe-belated visit na lang ako sa set niyo one Sunday para mabigay ko sa iyo ang gift ko. I hope you had a great one. Love you always!!! Okay, moving on. Hay... I hate getting sick. You tend to just lie around the house and think of things that ahave passed. In my case, I was transported to my Wazzup days. Especially because my sister managed to "unearth" some Wazzup pictures I've forgotten were in my possession pala. So ayun, mega-reminisce naman ako. Siyempre, uber-text rin ako to the Wazzup people I'm close to. Nakakatuwa. The best text message of all??? It's the one that came from Drew. Ahihi. Hindi pa rin nawawala yung pagka-crush ko sa kanya 'noh? Kainis lang, when he texted me back, I fell asleep that I didn't get to answer right away. So ayun... when I texted him again, hindi na siya nakasagot. Huhu. Babo. *sigh* Ay tama na nga! Ayoko na munang mag-reminisce habang wala pang alak sa tabi ko. Hahaha! (As if!) For the record, I don't drink. I have such low tolerance for alcohol, I swear. Okay! Let me answer some people's tags first: mtz: lola mukhang haggard ang kagandahan mo ah wala bang post jan? dont tell me ur still keeping long shifts? gah. mis ya lots ^_^ Hay naku, Mitz, when you get back I have lots of kuwento about work.
