strange how interesting this is. and how i'm rooting for the other side.  strange.

crazy obsession: RESTART

i find Jung YongHwa to resemble kim hyun joong but look a lot younger and manlier.  i guess he looks like KHJ before his surgery. haha OMG i apologize for the following craziness...

he's so cute and talented! i lot his hair! and his style (or maybe just korean guys)! his band has a pretty good song out right now called Lonely and dang can he sing! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!! sooo cute!!!

his character is totally jinhoo from BOF but more aggressive! i like!  indulge in the following pictures and clips will come later bc it's already midnight soon! :)

  look at those lips! yum ;) lee min ho mixed with kim hyun joong anyone?

  very Kim Hyun Joong

Very him, perfect in his own way :)



sorry for the fangirl blog!

Updated wishlist

i probably should call this a new one because i don't even remember what i wanted before! i'm going to try the laneige strawberry yogurt peel gel tonight and see if i like it...well see if my skin is okay with it!  i hope i do and it is! and i also want the mask! ok ok, so here's the list:

laneige strawberry yogurt peel gel
laneige strawberry yogurt pack
shiseido face color (blush) in pk304 (BUT i just saw a different shade at nordstroms so i might have to check that out first before i decide on which one)
shiseido color stick in champagne or peach blush
lancome eyeshadows (because i love them and lancome is having a promotion with a super cute tote bag!!!)

i want so many things but i don't want to be broke :(
i guess all the makeup is not as important as the face stuff so i'll work my way down the list?!

drama update

WOW, i had a really intense Friday evening.  I watched the season finales of Grey's Anatomy and Gossip Girl. AND i watched the last 2 episodes of Personal Taste.  okay, since i watched PT last, i will start the rant about it first.

AND WOW. it was such a good drama.  the story line was new and different.  the characters were really developed (well, at least the 2 main were).  and Lee Min Ho and Sohn Ye Jin are both amazing actors.  they were so expressive!  okay, on to the last 2 episodes.

i have to say ep. 15 disappointed me a little in that there was a small amount of dumb heroism.  jin ho (LMH) wouldn't tell his side of the story straight. granted that it was in line with his character but it dragged it on a bit.  i also got a bit irritated with how Kae In (SYJ) was so quiet when it came to the other dude and his dad. omg were they annoying.  but overall, i guess the episode was okay and ending great because it showed the beginning of Jin Ho regaining his backbone and stepping up to Kae In's dad.

But ep. 16 really took the cake!  it had angst, sorrow, happiness and sheer sugar (if you get what i mean).  so many kisses and even a semi-sex scene? well i wouldn't call it that but they supposedly slept together finally. it was really sweet how it was carried out tho.  no laying the female lead down and blacking out the scene.  i loved how Kae In grabbed Jin Ho's hand and let him feel her heart beating quickly.  it was so Kae In and the way Jin Ho reacted was also Jin Ho-esq.  it was super sweet and really brought those 2 together. then it followed with silly sweet moments and Jin Ho finally proposing to Kae In.  i thought it was also a nice touch with Kae In losing the balloons. hahah. overall, great episode and a great ending to a great drama :)

i was wondering why i liked Sohn Ye Jin so much since The Classic.   i think i've liked her in almost all of her movie works (i.e. a moment to remember, the art of seduction etc.) and this would have to be my favorite drama of hers.  okay, back to the topic.  i think Sohn Ye Jin is quite beautiful and natural in her looks.  she doesn't look like a typical korean girl or actress.  and i bet she wears very little makeup.  she's just so gorgeous naturally and cute at the same time.  and she has so much depth in her acting and expressions.  she is definitely my favorite korean actress, if not simply my favorite actress.

And Lee Min Ho has been redeemed by this drama.  i HATED him in Boys Over Flowers because he overacted so much and i think i have a very biased opinion because i hated goo hye sun.  gosh she is such a terrible actress and annoying.  ugghh, i'm not going to ruin my happiness from talking about her. honestly, i think BOF was a big failure and didin't capture the essence of hana yori dango.

ANYWAYYYYY i will definitely miss Personal Taste and i laugh at the people who don't enjoy it.  seriously, SERIOUSLY? there's so much to appreciate in PT that if you don't recognize it, you're either really slow or lack taste.

onto Grey's Anatomy.  it was an intense finale and really good and really exciting and fun overall. not overly bloody to me either. i think that was what caught my attention at first.

Gossip Girl was eh. it was okay and interesting. i guess my favorite part was the bitching out blair gave to jenny and how jenny was sent away and won't be back for a while :)

i'm going to continue with You're Beautiful. it's funny but nothing compared to PT.  and hopefully i get to watch more of sunao ni narenakute. but that's unlikely :(

ja ne!

food photos

so taking pictures of your food is really big right now.  but i always forget to take the picture before digging in.  on the rare occasions when i do manage to remember to take one, i would forget about it or its location on my computer. 

today, i actually found a few.  these are dishes at George's Thai Bistro in Costa Mesa.  I think they're from different visits but one is of a chicken pad see eew and the other is a duck curry dish.  both were DELISH.

New Love

i am absolutely in love with corals right now.  i've always found the shade to be attractive and beautiful but recently, it just seems so perfect for the season.  after finding my nail polishes to have somehow disintegrated into a substance almost like water, i went searching for the perfect spring nail color.  and i found my favorite shade of coral in a bottle of Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro in Sunset Orange. the color is so pretty and it's supposed to last up to 10 days.  the polish itself is neither too thin or thick.  i spent $ 3.75 on it (i think) and it is my first nail polish that isn't less than $ 2.  i'm cheap when it comes to polishes because i always think of them as being too temporary and will usually end up dried or separated somewhere on my nightstand. but for this gorgeous, i made an exception.

i didn't do a very good job of painting my nails because i was watching Kick Ass at the same time.  that movie was....well let's just say the last few segments made up for the entire movie :)

toodles :)

sitting on a full stomach

just got back from dinner with my dad at kabuki. i didn't realize it was happy hour so we ate more than usual.  i'm super full and so is my dad.  too bad all of my favorite items weren't on the happy hour menu. but anyway, my craving for kabuki has been satiated which is good because we're on a tight budget this month.

on a different note, i am totally in love with these pictures.  erika sawajiri looks absolutely beautiful in them and her eye makeup is gorgeous! if only i could do that for my eyes...

Spring 2010 Drama List

I am currently watching

Sunao ni narenakute (Japanese)
Personal Taste (Korean)
Oh My Lady (Korean)

That's it? yes, i'm surprised at myself too.  the other series don't interest me much but maybe i'll sit down and watch Cinderella's Sister (Korean).

I just finished Oh My Lady yesterday and I will miss Chae Rim and Choi Si Won.  It was funny when the ex-husband was singing Sorry Sorry right as he met CSW. :)

Sunao's release is soooo slow. it's losing my focus because it takes forever for it to be updated and be watched by me.  I hope it picks up.  I don't know who i'm rooting for because Eita is cute with Ueno Juri but Jaejoong is cute and sweet too.

My favorite this spring would have to be Personal Taste.  Although i disliked Lee Min Ho in Boys Before Flowers, i absolutely ADORE him as Jeon Jin Ho.  He's funny, clever and sweet.  and of course i've always loved Son Ye Jin since The Classic.  she has aged a bit tho but i think she's still compatible with LMH in this series.  i don't know if i should wait for all the remaining episodes to be released before i watch them or continue on with the 2 a week pace.  last time i waited, i wasn't into the drama anymore.  but that was Autumn's Concerto and i think it lost steam towards the end. anyway, i'm on ep. 12 and i'll probably wait till 13 and 14 are out before i consider watching it.  i'm sure more angst sets in from this episode on out with the evil ex best friend and ex bf. heee heee.

stuff i want to buy

mac moisturizing lip tint
mac blushcreme
100% pure eyeshadows
milani eyetech liquid eyeliner

i'll probably go to the mall for mac and wait for 100%pure to come back on hautelook.  who knew makeup could be so addictive? even when i'm not wearing any!

UPDATE:

i bought the MAC lip tint in petting pink (for $14.50) and i love it! it's very smooth and the color is sheer.  decided to wait on the blushcreme because i don't use makeup often and i have a lot of my shiseido powder blush left.

i'm still waiting on the 100% pure stuff and passed on the milani eyeliner.  i think it will probably be very similar to the covergirl one that i bought a while back and NEVER USED.  the liquid eyeliners don't work on my eyes because they take a while to dry and i tend to smear them when i blink.  i'll probably give it away or throw it away. or let it sit in my makeup bag until it dries up...=/
