WHY I LOVE CITY HUNTER

www.wikipedia.org

Two weeks ago, a friend introduced me to a new Korean TV series entitled City Hunter. This was regularly shown in ABS-CBN but I was not able to watch it from there. So, since I am on a holiday last Friday, I choose to watch the show in my SU (the name of my laptop) until I am addicted with the story that I was able to finish watching the 20 episodes until Saturday afternoon.

This is not my first time watching some TV series but since I do not have a relevant topic for my blog aside from my emo-ness, I just want to share it here. City Hunter’s genre is a combination of action and romance. I am not going to write the plot here since it can be found in the Wikipedia but I will put here what I admire in the TV series.

I like the battle between City Hunter, Lee Yoon-sung and an intelligent prosecutor Kim-Young-joo. While City Hunter is taking revenge for the death of what he thought as his father, the prosecutor is trying to catch him. And when the prosecutor found out who the city hunter is, they became allies as they realize that both of them have a common goal.

On romance side, I also want the love story between the City Hunter and Kim Na-na. City Hunter doesn’t want to involve Kim Na-na because of the risk in his mission, so he tried to protect Kim Na-na by not showing his true feelings. While Kim Na-na is waiting for Lee Yoon-sung until he finished his mission alive, she helps the City hunter on her own way.

Lastly, the most wonderful part is the opportunity of watching the beautiful face of the actor Lee Min-Ho. For me, he is the most handsome Korean guy. Obviously, I have a crush on him and maybe he is the reason why I love watching City Hunter. LOL! Thanks to my friend who has given me a copy of this series, at least I would be able to watch Lee Min-ho whenever I want to see his beautiful face again. LOL Again. 


And just a thought, will this blog post make me a certified City Hunter addict or just a Lee Min-Ho fanatic? 

HUNGER GAMES

I first heard of hunger games from the facebook statuses of my friends. I thought it was a famous online game replacing angry bird or plant vs. zombies, but I was wrong when people keep posting their excitement on hunger games in theatres. I asked myself how come I didn’t know this thing and told myself that maybe this is just a famous movie or something; So I erased the thought of it in my mind. However, I saw it in MSN News and they keep comparing it to Twilight. With it, I realized I am dead to Hunger Games.

So, I watched the movie as my friends suggested.  I like the movie – of course I am not disappointed with it since I did not yet read the book.I like its unique story – enough with the vampires and werewolves thing. Hunger Games is somehow new in my mind that I bought its three books not knowing if it is a good read or not.

These past few days, my mind is preoccupied by the book. Whenever I read it, I feel like I am with Katniss – the protagonist. The book is in first person that you begin to feel whatever Katniss feels. I can see before my eyes the District 12, the arena and the Capitol. I love the book because it made me go and see a different world - the world of Hunger Games.

The book also taught me how to be like Katniss, the girl on fire. She has a passion deep inside her which has been realized when she went into the arena, when she is fighting for her life and for the life of her loved ones. Katniss has the courage to fight for what she thought is right even if she feels other people just take advantage of her.  With her family and friends believing and fighting with her, she defeats the enemy and wins her game.  And that is Katniss.

Suzanne Collins, the author of the book, had made it – She made me hook into the story. I am not actually trying to have a book review here because I do not know how. I just want to express how I am fascinated by this book. And after two weeks of reading it, here is the compilation of my favorite quotes from it.

“At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead.The hard thing is finding the courage to do it.”  ― Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

“My spirit. This is a new thought. I'm not sure exactly what it means, but it suggests I'm a fighter. In a sort of brave way. It's not as if I'm never friendly. Okay, maybe I don't go around loving everybody I meet, maybe my smiles are hard to come by, but i do care for some people.” 
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“So after, when he whispers," You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real.” 
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“As long as you can find yourself, you’ll never starve.” 
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“If he wants me broken, then I will have to be whole.” 
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love.” 
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“I can survive just as fine without any either of them” 
― Suzanne Collins

“Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you.”
-Katniss Everdeen

“Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games”
-Peeta Mellark” 
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.”  ― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

15 POSSIBLE WAYS TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART

This is for people whose heart was broken like mine. 

1. Cry and cry the night you feel your heart is broken 
2. Drink until you get drunk (Ooops, I shouldn’t put it here, should I? But for some, this will help them move on)
3. Go out with your friends and laugh with them
4. Drink sleeping pills if you can’t sleep at night (you might also like to drink milk instead)
5. Read a fantasy or sci-fi or suspense book ('coz your mind will  be busy thinking of the story instead of the person who made your heart broken)
6. Watch movies or series when there is nothing to do
7. Write what you feel and what you think
8. Eat your favorite foods but don’t forget to do number 9
9. Exercise and exercise to burn your fats

Hopefully, My Last Love Letter For You

Sometimes, somewhere in my heart I want you again; I want you to go back. But every time I think of it, I know that it can’t be and it will never be. Life gives us a chance to be together but only for a while. Destiny already gives its verdict and that it’s over between the two of us.

Life with you is good and I will always remember the memories we have shared. It was a wonderful feeling when I’m with you; it seems I am so secure when you’re around me. The day I give my yes to you seems to be the happiest moment of my life. Because I know you have captivated me.

Then one day, I have decided to go back in the province. So, I really thought that everything will be over for us. Surprisingly, you allow me to go back and continue to hold on to what we have. Then, months passed and we are still together. Many times when I feel giving up, you ask me to hold on and fight for it. So, I did what you have said.

Days and weeks passed again and we are still clinging into each other’s arm. Then, there was an incident that happened which I believe weakens you and me. My father becomes too jealous and dislikes you. It made me sick that I did nothing when he confronted you. Although I know that when you went home that night, I have fought for you; I have fought for us.  And starting that event, I know that something was change in you.

Then one Friday morning, I woke up differently. There was a feeling inside me that you’re gonna burst it out any minute, I know that the one thing which scares me will gonna be happen. And what I feel that day suddenly happen when you have told me that you are giving up. You have said that we cannot force ourselves to be together when the world began to turn against us. Our dreams become so different from each other and our loved ones become our enemies.

It hurts me so much that you have said the words I never thought you would said. I am not sure if you made me a fool before when I believe that you are fighting for me. I feel stupid because you made me believe in every word you have said. Even there is so much hurt in my heart at that time, I just let you go because I know that no matter how hard I will try to convince you to fight, your decision is irrevocable.

Tomorrow is our three months apart from each other, but I am still wondering how you are doing with your life now without me on it. I cannot hide the fact that I still miss you. But my miss will only end there because I know deep inside my heart you will never come back again.

So, I am hoping that this will be my last love letter for you. I am now accepting the fact that we are just friends and nothing more. So, I hope one day, when we see each other again, there will always be peace between the two of us. I am wishing you all happiness as you continue to chase your dreams. Thank you and Good bye. 

I WILL WAIT WITH GLADNESS

I’m not sure where you are right now. I do not even know who you are but I know that you exist. I know that you are there doing your own stuff, whatever it is. Well, I am not doing anything right now which made me think of you again. I just feel the urge to write to you even if I do not know you.

You see, I’m waiting for you for a long time that I became impatient. I have settled for less which made me feel sorry. But, I just want you to know that I still want you. That even if it’s hard to wait, I will wait for you, because I know that you will come.

Right now, I am thinking of you. I imagine who you are. I wonder how you look. I want to know what kind of eyes you have. Do you have an almond shape or round eyes? Do you have clear eyes or do you wear eye glasses? Are you tall or not for a guy? Is your hair straight or curly? Do you have a dark or fair skin? I do not know but my mind begins to ask. I want to know. I desire to see and have a glance of you.

I am not just wondering about your physical appearance. I am also speculating on what type of a person you are. Are you an artist or not? Do you sing or dance well? Do you love to write or read books? How much do you love your family? Are you a responsible person? What are your dreams? What do you want in your life? But above all, I want to know how much you love God. I want to know all of these. I want to know who you are. I want to hear your story, I am eager to meet you.

But no matter how much excited I am of knowing you, I know that today is not yet the right time. You see, I am not yet ready to face you. I have troubles of my own that is needed to be solved. So, I have to wait and make myself ready before we meet because I want that day to be perfect.  I will wait even if it seems too difficult, even if people are teasing me that I might end up being single for the rest of my life. But still, I will wait. And I will wait with gladness. Because I know that my waiting will be worth it.  

JUST TOSS A COIN

"When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for." – Anonymous

I find it so hard to decide on some things lately, sometimes I feel a broken wood lost in the ocean and just follows where the wave would go or a fallen leaf and just follows where the wind would bring me. So, last night I tossed a coin. And the moment I saw the coin in the air, I whisper my wish which made me realize what I really want.

I know it was a funny thing but still it made me recognize what I really yearn between those two good choices. And now that I have my decision, I pray to God to give me courage to let go of something beautiful in order to grab something that would make me happier. I know that it really doesn’t matter to Him what would I choose between the two because either way or another, I believe that He would lead me and guide me to the place where He wanted me to be.
