Without Words

So, I made an English Translation of the Song Without Words from the series You're Beautiful. I know I can't speak Korean, so I based my lyrics from the different English translation found in the web and I made the words fit the tune of the song.  It's like, I can't get over the song. It's soooo good!





I should have never done it
I should have just ignored it
like something i wouldn't see, like something i couldn't see
why did i look at you at all?


i should have just run away
i should have just feigned to hear
like it wouldn't be heard, like it couldn't be heard
i should have never listened to your love


without a word, you've shown me what is love
without a word, you've given me your love
oh you surrounded me, you made me hold my breath
but now you leave me just like that


without a word,this love has left me alone
without a word, this love has tossed me aside
not knowing what to say and what'll happen next,
my close lips were shocked on their own cause
you came without a word


why does the pain hurt so bad?
why does the hurting just stop
though i can't see you again
and that you're not here anymore
if not, it will be like the same before


without a word, you've shown me what is love
without a word, you've given me your love
oh you surrounded me, you made me hold my breath
but now you leave me just like that


without a word,this love has left me alone
without a word, this love has tossed me aside
not knowing what to say and what'll happen next,
my close lips were shocked on their own


without a word, my tears starts to fall down
without a word, my heart is breaking apart


without a word I waited for your love
without a word I hurt because of love
oh i have only let myself become a fool
cause I cry looking at the sky


without a word, farewell encounters me
without a word, the ends come to me
it took me by surprise to send you far away
so unexpectedly and now,
it came without a word


without a word, it appears
and after, it does vanish
it's like a fever i've had,
maybe i just need to get hurt for a while
cause only the scars leave in the end




The cover will come soon. I promise. :D

You're Beautiful it's True

It's official. We've finished watching You're Beautiful. It was fun while it lasted. Ugh. I can't help but to download the songs from the series which are ironically K-Pop. However, these songs aren't like those silly WTF K-Pop songs. I find these interesting. They portrayed emotions especially the songs What Should I Do? and Without Words. Ahh. I love these two songs. If only there were English recordings of these. So, I've researched for English lyrics so that I would sing them in English. Haha. 


Waaah. Asians are really good at making soaps like this (hmm. maybe i'll exclude Philippines for a while. haha). Woah. I don't want to compare Nodame Cantabile with this show because they're totally different.


What I liked about the show is that, they did not make things literal. For example, Tae Kyung has night blindness. This sickness never went to waste. There was a deeper meaning from that. Another thing. The stars were not just seen. They were representations of Tae Kyung from Mi Nyu's perspective. These made the story more flavorful.


If I were to rate this, I would give it a 8.5/10. Excellent!


Gosh. Without Words and What Should I Do are stuck in my mind. Haha. 






Waaaaaaaaaaah.

James Blunt meets Korea

So my brother brought home another DVD. This time, it's Korean.


So far, this is the first Korean series I grew to like. At first I was like, "okay, this is gonna be good." But now I am like, "shucks. It's great I need to watch the next episode right away!" If you know what I mean. Haha. 


The name of the show is, "You're Beautiful," and it speaks of a woman who became a man and become a part of Korea's greatest band, A.N. Jell. (Though this band is only fictional.) Now, she, I mean he has to face every challenge there is, including falling in love.


I'm not good at making reviews so it's a must-watch! Haha.


Actually, there is already a Japanese remake of this series and it's starting this July. I hope they will meet my standards, like this Korean series did.

Max is Ill

Max is ill right now and I can't help thinking how to help him.

He has not eaten for days. And the net says, cats not eating must be treated instantly because it's fatal. I'm panicking right now. I don't want Max to go so soon. I love him so much to let him go. He's like a part of my family already.

I hope he gains energy already.

However, a while ago, I had a breathe of relief. Max ate a small piece of chicharon. The crisp of the food being chewed by my cat made my smile bigger. I know, there's still hope. In Christ Alone, my hope is found. :D


Hoping that Max will be very well soon. I pray.

Untitled. :D

Dragonflies

I always wish that I'm this silly little eight year old boy whose only stress is completing a puzzle and whose only problem is looking for  his playmates during hide and seek.

Right now, I can't lie down while watching television without any problems. I often have many problems. Before a problem has been resolved, another problems approaches me, with a wide grin on his ugly face. Then, I would sneer at the mirror and say, how I wish I was a child again.

A child would only run around without thinking of how Algebra can be applied in life.
A child would laugh without thinking of what love is.
A child would play all day without memorizing stupid Scientific names.

I mean, life right now is so complex, so stressful, so problematic, so.. ugh. I can't even think because there are so many of them.

Then a dragonfly appears. Little children would either be scared and run away, or follow the little insect until they caught them. As they graze on the green grass, they would chase the dragonflies or they would chase themselves. Ahh. It's so nice to be a kid again.

After that, we would play pirates. They would play princesses having tea parties. Then, all of us would play a family on a house made of pillows and blankets. Reminiscing is really uplifting.

And we'll play, paint ourselves with gray. Life before was simple but so surreal with reveries that we feel that is so real. Like all the dragonflies, we are so free. We all run, we all play, all of us are filled with glee. But as the insect dies, we all grow up, and in the end, die.

Moshi!

I want to speak Japanese (and Spanish). This time, I'm serious. I want to speak like the natives do. I want to relive my dream of going to Japan and witness the marvelous cherry blossoms as I caressly breathe in the sweet scent of the dusty country (at least, that's what Chiaki said).


So, I want to study hard in learning Japanese. No more hesitations, for in the end, I know it will just be my frustration if I don't learn Japanese.


P.S.
I also want to speak Spanish. I want to speak the language of the foreigners who once invaded my country for more than three centuries.


Then I want to speak like what a British do. I want to speak how the royalties speak (after being inspired by the novels I've read).


Plus, I want to go to those countries. Haha.


DREAMS...

Just a short note...

I can't get over Nodame Cantabile!


The music. The plot. The acting. Everything. Why is it perfect?


Japanese are so damn creative! Haha



Nodame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It left me teary eyed, heavy chested, and speechless.

I really don’t know what to say. Nodame Cantabile sure is very outstanding. I’ve got one word to say to it, “BRAVO!”

I just finished watching the first season of it and, ugh, the feelings gushing from my heart are leaving me breathless right now. The story is so magnificent anyone who watches it may be overwhelmed. The actors and actresses were so outstanding it’s like they really are their characters!

Nande?

I can’t wait to watch the second season of it.

What now?

I benefitted something after watching it. Right now, my interest in playing piano is coming back. It’s like, I want to play piano again. I was a Nodame, who was playing by ears (I usually read notes before, but I lost interest so I stopped for a while) but was eager to play by notes again. I wish to be like her. No. I want to be like Chiaki Sinichi. He’s versatile and he’s so good at playing piano.

Gosh. I still can’t get over it. The Rhapsody in Blue played by S-Oke is still circling my mind. Tat-tat-ta-tat-ta-ta-tat-ta. Haha.

Ehhh?

The last episode did really gave me chills as the montage of clips from earlier episodes flashed before me and they were playing the first symphony they ever played. I was teary eyed that moment. No, I did not cry, but was just struck by it.

I hope and wish and pray that I can watch the second season, plus the two movies of Nodame Cantabile Real Life. Plus, I hope and wish and pray that I will soon be as good as either Nodame or Chiaki. Haha. It’s not bad to dream, is it?

Gyaaaaaaaaaaboooo!

Gametime! Presents: Pokemon Pearl

I forgot to update about me playing Pokemon.


Last June 26, 2011, I finally caught Reshiram with only using ultra balls! :D (I only used two, for the record.) I fought N one time only, and I fought Ghetsis one time only! Was it crazy or what?! Haha. After finishing the game, I literally jumped for joy and excitement. It was, marvelous!


After playing the game, there were few things to do like arresting the other sages, but, I got bored, so, I kissed Pokemon Black in the face and waved farewell to it. It was fun and challenging while it lasted.


Now, you can see me playing another game: Pokemon Pearl version. It started really mind-blowing because I do not know what starter to pick. I began with Turtwig. But since water Pokemons are hard to find, I started it again and now, I have Piplup which now evolved to Prinplup. Though I regretted choosing Piplup because I saw Buizel in a nearby place so, I must have chosen the fire-type Chimchar in the first place.


So, for the record, I now played on all the regions! This calls for a celebration.


And after Pearl and catching Palkia, Pokemon Blue and Pokemon SoulSilver are the next in line.


Pokemon Blue?! Yes! Haha. I wanted to play the silly 2D game which started it all. I haven't played Red or Blue or Yellow yet (on emulator..:D) so that will be the time.


I'm an addict, right? Hahaha

Liberty Day

I ALMOST FORGOT.


HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY PHILIPPINES! :D
(July 4, 1946)












...and America, too. :D










[June 12 is the Philippine Independence but I regard July 4 as the true Philippine Independence. Why? IT was on July 4, 1946 when the last invaders of the Philippines left the country and at last, we gained liberty. :D)

An Enchanted Evening

It's past 12:00 am and I'm still awake.


The lizard beside me drowsed of to sleep. I can already hear the wild snore of my brother. The night is dark, as dark as the black hole. Yet, I'm still awake.


It's this stupid report I am going to say tomorrow -- which I'm not really sure if I will report this tomorrow. My eyelids want to close and rest already yet my mind says that I must finish working.


I must have drowsed off a while ago. However, Port Blue made me quite awake all night. The wavy melodies captivate me, inspiring me to work more. The instruments give me chills, which gives me a waking up pill. Those are such lame words to describe a majestic music of Port Blue. I can't even describe its greatness. 


I may not have finished my report yet, but, thanks to Port Blue, I finished 1/3 of it already. Gosh!

I Hate Hypocrites!

Hypocrisy. Noun. Insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have.

I despise hypocrites. I really do. I hate how they pretend to be good and all that, but hidden within them are bad attitudes and actions. I hate how they can persuade people to do something wherein fact, deep within them, they also do these things.

Let me get this straight. I know of many hypocrites in this world. They can be a friend, a family member, a mentor, an enemy, or any stranger. But here are some hypocrites I know very well.

John is a leader. Since he is a leader, he must persuade people to follow all the rules of the school. What’s harder is that, he must be a model himself. But, as he tries banning vices inside the school, we can see him proudly smoking and drinking outside. He shows of his cigars. He bluntly speaks of the alcohol he drinks. Proudly Hypocrite.

And then enters Ariel. She scorns all plastics and all bad people around her. She hates persons for no reason. She wants that everything she says will be implemented. If others’ work will be implemented, she will go wild and get mad at that person. She hates plastics but, she is plastic herself. Does this mean she hates herself? Wild Hypocrite.

Cynthia enters. She’s a funny teacher (basing on the looks). She says, she’s not into favoritism. She says she is fair to all her students. But, then, when her favorite is absent, she looks for him, asking everything why he is absent, and gets bored without him. He is everything to her. Then, other students enter. She says that discipline is important, but, I everybody knows that she keeps something under her chair. She says be honest, but, she’s not. Argh. Favorite Hypocrite.

Here is Michael. He is an education student. He aims to be a teacher but, he likes copying. How did he became a hypocrite? Simple! He loves copying but when he will be a teacher, he will already ban copying or cheating? Over Hypocrite!

I must say, I am also a hypocrite myself. And I hate myself for being one. Just a note. I try to change, but with a bolt of lightning, I go back to the old me. I’m only human – I guess. Still, I hate hypocrites.

Oh yes I’m the great pretender pretending that I’m doing well.
-- we all are. :D

10 Myths about Introverts

Owl City did it again!

It was my routine that once a week, I go to owlcityblog.com to read what is on Owl City's mind. I was mind-blown by his latest post. He actually talked about introverts! I read it and as what he said, "struck a major chord with me." This needs to be known by everyone! Haha

So the post goes this way:

I recently stumbled across a blog written by Carl King about the phenomenon known as the introverted human being and it struck a major chord with me. After each bullet, I felt like standing up and shouting “YESSSSSSSSS!” at the top of my lungs because these points (made by author Marti Laney, Psy.D) are total home runs. As an extreme introvert, this is like sweet manna from heaven.
