Dream High

I am in the middle of enjoying my summer vacation when Dream High was aired in the Philippines. I have no idea about how the story goes, who's going to be a superstar or what. But after few weeks of watching this drama, they got me in.

Dream High started in year 2018, as we ride on this drama's time machine to the future, we see Director/Jung Ha-Myung on his TV interview about K, who owns the pendant. And as the story continues, it went back to the current year where the six leads starts their own different stories, struggling  to meet goals and success in their lives. 

I won't tell as much as I can about the drama because a lot of spoilers are written for all of you. But for a good one, I suggest dramabeans.com because they have written amazing recaps in every episode. (They should notice me for the ads. Hah! Kidding.) I love this drama, for real. First, I am amazed how dreams and goals in life are achieved in here. Even some dream's are not that perfect that you can meet what exactly you want. Still, they got success in a different way that maybe is the best option. Second, I love  almost all of the performances. Especially when I watched their cover of SNSD's Genie! That's how they get me into this kdrama. After Genie, I fall harder on every sing and dance they do. And third, I got really hooked on the six leads especially to Marco/Sam Dong or Kim Soo Hyun. I always see the Sam Dong in his face and acts, I can feel his emotions through his undeniable talent. And another points for his singing. I love the fact that he really didn't sing at all. I bet he's really a good actor.

And I love the ending, even though I hate the fact that it's the last. I still love it because Marco/Sam Dong gets the K and the girl. And after being the first korean in Grammy's, the drama didn't end up with him. As it all started with Kelly Go/Go Hye-mi, it ended with her.

"..But I say, if you loved Dream High, you’re a winner. Cheers!" - Girlfriday, dramabeans.com

This drama is one of my favorite! Anyway, I only have few dramas in my list. Meteor Garden, Secret Garden

 ... and Dream High complete the lists. :)

And another reminder, always push hard, strive and do your best, and Dream High. Fighting!

Let's talk about movies!

One of the reason why my summer isn't boring is because of movies. I do movie marathon some time, especially months like this where I do nothing at all. I beat my last summer vacation's record of 19 movies. 'Cause I watched 38 this time! Thirty-eight. Yup, you read it right. Haha. And I became an instant fan of movie rental shops because I hate cinema-copy-DVD/CDs, it's quite annoying to watch. And hard. And I missed a lot of movies in theater in a while. So here's my 2012 list with no specific order:

• Thelma (Maja Salvador as lead, an inspiring story, 3 stars)
• Fuschia (Something you want to watch if you get a full boring hours. Gloria Romero as lead, 4 stars)
• Death Note, Death Note 2: The Last Name and Death Note 3: L Change the World (I annually watch these 3 films every vacation over and over again! Hardcore fan. 5 stars)
• Bad Teacher (This teacher is not that bad dude! Haha. So I give 3 stars)
• 27 Dresses (Seriously good film especially for ladies out there! 4 stars)

• Crazy, Stupid, Love (I love the crazy part, so much! Can I go with 4.5 stars? :D) 
• Drag Me to Hell (Thought I'm gonna be a scared kid, but I'm not! 3 stars)
• A Mother's Story (Movie for all OFW's out there especially made for moms, 4 stars)
• Ligo Na U, Lapit Na Me (Edgar Allan as lead with Mercedes Cabral, a good indie film from Eros Atalia's novel with the same title, 3 stars)

• Ninja Assassin (Rain as lead, also a good one, 4 stars)
• The Darkset Hour (About alien destroying the world, awesome, 3 stars)
• Pathology (For people who loves to eat strawberry pie while watching bloody people, 3 stars)

Well, don't mind my ratings because all of us have different point of views. That one only depends on me, 5 stars to must-watch movies and great ones, 4 with awesome films, 3 with I'm expecting more or something else in the movie, and 2 of course are the least of my favorite.

So if you want to go movie marathon next time, catch up with some in my list!

Summer

I'm so lazy. I didn't blog for a while, I stopped my daily exercise and I ate a lot during vacation. I lose my discipline. Where the hell have I been? As I am typing this thing now I really don't know what to say but I'll just continue it anyway. Summer vacation made me spoiled like Paris Hilton (or am I exaggerating a little). I spend a lot of money, went here and there, do these and that.

I reunited with my brothers and sisters - high school friends! We went out of town for a day at Paradise Resort (somewhere in Bulacan). I haven't spend a lot of time with them during university days. And It feels good having fun with old friends and seeing they're still the same people you knew. I love them a lot. They are great people.

 We just arrived. Morning at resort.

Hotdogs and Us. Haha. Grilling hotdogs plus team work! :)

 The girls

 Swimming time!

The drowning puppies. Haha!

Farewell time :((((((((

We don't have a lot of pictures and I didn't even bring camera. Maybe we focus with each other's company. Damn, I hope there's another thing like this next year.

Next, another I-smell-a-reunion-here event. Wilma May @ 18. Oh my! She's already a lady. We went here and I didn't expect that I was giving up a speech so there, I don't even say a sentence or two. I'm one of 18 candles, the 7th if I can recall. And it was my first time so no doubt I fail to say anything. Haha! And I'm not good at speaking (stop it, you're having a lot of reason). I see friends whom I haven't seen the most, like Louis and FA and more. The night is beautiful, and so are we. Haha.

My bestfriend and I - The early birds! Haha.

Kurt

Hurjae

    Friends! (L-R: Bim, Hurjae, Judeline, Me, Chelsi and Mel)

Swagg bessy! Haha. (L-R: Hurjae, Camela, Chelsi, Me, Dave and Judeline)

 THE UNEXPECTED CANDLE SPEECH! Haha. (Aka seconds of embarassment)

Us.

After the party, I stayed at my best friends house and I wanted to stay awake for long to have fun but I really can't get into it. So I sleep early while she was dating with her laptop. I bet she have fun too. Haha.
