New RP personality!

Since I've got nothing to do, my favorite Korean drama, Gu Family Book just recently ended, I am again left with nothing to do. Jobless, home girl, lazy, crazy person. So, there's one habit, I dropped just a year ago or less, I thought I could start with it all over again. Oooh, sounds good. Snitchseeker roleplaying! Yay! So, I visited the site today and peeked at my friends profiles. Some of them advanced in their ranks in the site. They were the ones who never really left SS, the loyal ones. I guess, I should learn from them. Actually, I felt detached. Haha. But in just a matter of time, I know, I'll be able to link myself with them again, just hoping. After all, we're once FRIENDS. *nods*

So, what I am preparing at this moment is, who my new character will be. As much as I don't wanna give up on Erin Heyman because of the Hogwarts friends who are still holding on to her myself included, the situation  wasn't the same anymore. She's been gone twice already, the first reason was kind of unconvincing, what more for the second time? And I think, because of my incapability in characterizing the first time, I somehow gave her a shallow personality, a character I couldn't even fully understand. Erin Heyman is my very first character, a character I personally attached myself into, a character I built with my own imagination and I think it's time to let go of her. AND make a new one. Ha!

So, I've been thinking of a few names, celebrity names, hehe, OR NOT! Actually, I already had someone in mind, Another Korean, I just can't get enough of Koreans and their single eyelids. So, from Ahn Sohee tooooooo....................

Bae Suzy

So, before introducing her to the world of Hogwarts, I wanted first to prepare myself of how am I going to attached myself into this character. I wanted to know who she really is. I don't want to make some decisions that wouldn't suit her personality. I wanted to create a personality chart in detail, where I could always go back whenever I will RP her in the future. I wanted to make a character who has depth, who has emotions, who knows how to live, who knew who she is and what she can do. I also wanted to make her pre-Hogwarts background a SOLID edge towards other students. I wanted to make her likable yet NOT. Because that's the nature of people. They have likes and dislikes. And so, I wanted her to be human. A human who is perfectly flawed yet knew how to work out her way with life. I wanted to explore every bit of her personality. So, starting it off would be....I guess, her personality. I think, I'll have to divide them into, traits, flaws, likes, dislikes, fears and FACTS about her. Yay, I am loving this characterization. From there, I'll try to look for a suitable name.

TRAITS:

So, after writing those letters above, I'm kind of shut down, I guess, this isn't easy as it seems. How the hell did I came up with Erin's personality? Oh, I just acted her out like myself. Since I am unpredictable and shallow, she came out the same. 

Maybe, I'll start with this girl's prominent traits, and then I'll just work that way out. 

FOLLOWER, CLINGY, GULLIBLE, RESERVED, WITHDRAWN, WARMHEARTED, PLACID, PATIENT, KIND, AMIABLE, HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY

So, there it goes, actually it barely took me an hour to decide on which traits I wanted my character to be. Hehe, I know I kind of made my character as Go Dok Mi (Park Shin Hye's character in Flower Boys Next Door) because I totally love her in there but this Ravenclaw Eaglet couldn't survived Hogwarts if she was that reserved, right? So, I needed to do some touch ups about her personality, one I still needed to study for a couple of days...or HOURS maybe. I am just super excited about this one.

THE NAME:

HANA EUN

Family Background

Hana came from a broken family. Her parents separated when she was 5 years old. Reasons weren't raised in front of her and she was either afraid or not interested towards the matter. Because of her reserved personality, she'd rather stay on her eggshell than to do something that would changed and shake the things around her, the things she spent her whole life fixing. Just like the broken pieces of the flower vase her mother threw while her father was leaving through the door. She knew that broken things couldn't be fixed the way it was before but trying, could make it look like the way it was before. Though she did her best in fixing that flower pot, whenever someone would put force on the table, it would always fall into pieces again. And that was how Hana spent the entire 6 years of her life. Mending the pieces left. Mending her mother's broken heart. Mending the family's problems. Though she knew her Mom was angry towards his father, she couldn't deny the fact that the mother still loves the father and yearns for him every minute of every day. There were times, she would ask herself, why do they needed to go separate ways when they still wanted to hold each other? But that was the way of life. Life is unpredictable, hard and really, really, really weird. 

With Dad out of the house, it felt really empty. Though not exactly sociable, Hana could still feel emptiness and the deafening silence inside the house. The loss of Dad wasn't easy to deal with. It was hard being left alone. It was hard being abandoned. And that was what happened to little Hana. And she grew used to it, only dealing with Mom, other than school. She learned how to tend to herself alone. Do her own food, pack lunch, do house chores, and live life independently. The fact that she enjoys being alone made it easy for her to deal with everything that happened. A couple of years passed and Mom started to moved on. That's the best she could do, after all. It was only the two of them and Hana was very happy. She was really happy to have that one person that she knew would never leave her alone. Though still keeping connected with Dad, she couldn't linked the parents anymore. Sometimes, Dad would invite Hana to go have dinner with his new family, Hana would always say no. She couldn't stand being with people she doesn't exactly know. And adapting to new environment is the most difficult thing for her. So, she never had the chance to bond with the new family and her new siblings.

When Hana was 7 years old, her Mom told her that she made a completely wonderful decision. Since Hana's starting school this year, Mom decided to go to her parents' place in London and live there. That meant leaving Dad in Korea and starting a new life in London. Though reasons of her parents separation wasn't explained to her, she somehow assumed that it was because of her father's new family. With him, she had two brothers and one sister. One brother is older than her. Probably, it was something about of him. 

Arriving in London, it was entirely different from Korea, not only the place but people also looked different. They seemed foreign. They have different kinds of hair colors. Usually, in Korea there were only black colors, but here there was a variety of them. They have double eyelids too, big eyes and pointed noses. They were also tall, taller than her Dad probably. 

If living in Korea is hard for Hana, living in London is even harder. Aside from her reserved personality, the fact that she is not fluent in the native's language, limits her from interacting with the people. It took her a year to start to get used to the London life. It was hard at first but her Mom and her family helped her a lot.

My Bae Suzy and Harry Potter obsession!

So, here's the deal. Lately, rather say, after taking up my electronics engineering board exam which I passed should I boast (hehe! Kidding), I had this inkling to everything Korean. Food, drama, music, even their culture. Okay, so I am the person who gets easily obsessed with something but as much as I fall faster, I could easily get tired with almost anything. I've been a Korean drama addict, self confessed actually, but there were times in my life that I chose English dramas than Korean dramas. Furthermore, I am also a self confessed Harry Potter fan. That is the one thing, everyone of my friends will not argue about. I had all the book and film collections of the series. I even joined a roleplaying website called Snitchseeker (SS) where I could roleplay and interact with other Harry Potter fans. Some had been very close to me, to the point that we're adding each others in Facebook. I found a family in them.

However, circumstances could change your preferences and priorities, like when I needed to drop snitchseeker to focus more on my electronics engineering board exam review. It took me almost 5 months to prepare for that exam. My SS friends would normally message me through phone and facebook when I will be able to return and roleplay my character Erin Heyman. Of course, I gave them the date of my exam. So, they were so eager waiting for that day of my comeback. One thing, I 've been surprised is that when the time of my comeback approached, it suddenly occured to me that I wasn't enjoying it like I used to. They were still the same people but what changed isn't the site, or my friends, it was me. My likes and my wants changed. So, I decided to drop it and looked for other things that would make me happy. That's the time, I came into Korean dramas, my love was ignited once again, from day to night, I would just lay down my butt to watch korean dramas. Then I bumped into Gu Family Book.

Choi Jin Hyuk as Wol Ryung, Lee Yoo Bi as Chung Jo, Bae Suzy as Yeo Wool, Lee Seung Gi as Kang Chi,

 Yoo Yeon Seok as Tae Seo and Sung Joon as Gon

It didn't strike me at first sight, might be because I have no interest towards the two leads who are Lee Seunggi and Kpop idol, Suzy of Miss A. So, once upon a time, I realized, I've already seen these two, just not that unforgettable to a typical korean lover like me. I've seen them in two of my favorite korean dramas which are My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and Dream High.

Maybe, because they weren't the center of my attention that time. Shin Min Ah and Tara's Ham Eunjung were the ones who caught my interest in those dramas. What made me stick to Gu Family Book.... is probably the ...........kiss!scene (hehe, BAD ME!) which says darn you for missing the first 17 episodes of the show. Now that it's over, I can conclude that it's been a beautiful journey. Not only the forest kiss made this show shine but also the unforgettable lines of Dam Yeo Wool, the way Ma Bong Chul(funny sidekick) speaks, the hotness of Gon-ah, the beautiful words of Admiral Lee Soon Shin and of course, the struggles of Kang Chi-yah as a half beast. There may be bumps in the road, the girl might have died (SPOILER, sorry!) but the sequel possibilities still made me happy.

Also, Gu Family Book is the one who opened the door for me to give Kpop a try. When I was in college, I would go to internet cafes and I would see fangirls watching Youtube videos of their favorite Kpop groups. I would find their acts really weird. But now that I am sufferring from the same fever like them, I can finally understand how it feels to fangirl over boygroups and be envious over girl groups. Kpop music is truthfully beautiful. Because of Suzy, I came to love Miss A and enjoying every bit of their songs and performances. Also, starting to give a try and watch other kpop performances. But as of now, let me focus on one person, root for her, because no one knows when I'll get tired of her. But really, right now I don't want to get tired of her.

Isn't she such a cutie! Oh noes, I forgot to add, I've also been recently fangirling over Jung Yong Hwa, flails! 

Fifty Shades of Grey Book Review and Reaction

Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I heard about the book from Twitter. Er, I haven't really paid attention to it, a bestseller at the National book Store. And then I saw my bestfriend professing in Facebook that she's reading it and I almost cursed her but in the end, I thought, maybe, I'll give it a try. I had the E-book. All i need is  temptation. One night, I was preparing for a Final exam in one of my subjects, I was tempted and yes, it was at night.

I finished the entire story because of the heat of the moment. I was totally hooked into it. Who wouldn't? It depicts every human beings'  humane desires. Because all of us are hypocrites to say that we don't like porn movies or porn books or porn magazines but deep inside to our very core, we enjoy every bit of it. All we need is just a little temptation.

FINALLY, I've finished it. Because once you had the first book, you'll always yearn for more because we're all like them, we're all like Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, we find pleasure and happiness with what we are created to do, to make sex, although, that wasn't the term used in the books by EL James, I don't wanna use his terms. It's just so not me. When I was halfway through the second book, I decided myself that I needed to stop or I could just live a life like them. Ugh! I don't want that. >.<

So, what I did is I deleted every single bit of Fifty Shades from my laptop and from my phone because I feel I was doing the wrong thing. Damn, I shouldn't have read that.

From the looks of it, it really is a fan fiction because in every aspect of it, it pleases the readers. That's what you aim for when you're doing a fan fiction. You need readers and so, you need to go by the quote, 'The customer is always right.' So, here it is, a fan fiction for Twilight by EL James.

This is a review I made for Goodreads but I just wanted to share it here too. :)

Well, we may all have different opinions about this book, I am actually contradicting my very bestfriend but we are both entitled to our own beliefs.  Yeah?

Endless Love Autumn in my Heart

Hi there ya'll! 

Okay, first of all, I ended up having this idea because I am such a K-drama addict. I love almost all the genre. I somehow know some of Korean actors and actresses because of my obsession.


Endless Love Autumn in my Heart (since it's the very first K-drama I've watched)

Oh yes.

Have you ever come across a site that you cannot get away from? Like from the start of your very day up to the end of it, you're still browsing the page? Downloading and reading and writing? I am such a geek when it comes to writing. I love it as much as I love collecting papers, yes, I'm a paper lover. My friends would say, "You buy them but you refuse to write on it." It's something of a personal satisfaction whenever I've got myself a new design of a notebook or a sticky note or anything that I can write into. Maybe, it's my personal satisfaction to collect papers. Others would find it from collecting robots or from collecting pens, or from someone they love or from a food. Everybody's different. My other interest would be in books. I love collecting books and of course, reading them. Reading, I wouldn't say, all the time. I can read whenever I'm in the mood but if I'm not, no one could ever force me to do it. I have a fair share of favorite books like Harry Potter series, Twilight series, Hunger Games trilogy, My Sister's Keeper, The Notebook, Dear John, The Alchemist, The Winner Takes It All, The Golden Acre, Time Traveller's Wife and a lot more. I love romantic novels but most of the time, I stick to what's "uso". If many people reads this book, then you'll find me looking for it in the nearest bookstore.

Currently reading the last book of Hunger Games. I have enjoyed the first two, I hope this will give me the same feeling. :))
