Today's Drama: Shark/ Don't Look Back/ The Legend of Orpheus Part I (Spoiler Alert!!) (Ongoing)

Annyeong!!!

It's holiday!!! Well, at least for me. We got a week full holiday started in the Monday before we jump into the new study. But this holiday wasn't felt like usual holiday (tough it just within these 2 days), why? Task! So many undone works before I started this holiday. So, since Sunday I was busy finishing what left. Sad news we will have test today. So, I was supposedly study right now, right? But I wanted to take short break and write the next part of my previous post. Taraaaa...........finally I watched the first 10 episodes of Shark!! (Actually I'm in the 12th episode, ke ke ke)

So, before we begin my review about this drama, I'm pretty sure that not much of u knowing what 'Orpheus' was. If I remember correctly, I even didn't find that name on the drama this far (well, the possibility was 50:50 since I skipped some scene that I thought were boring). Actually I didn't know that this drama had another tittle beside Shark. It was when I searched on google about Shark then another tittles came up.

Orpheus actually was a legendary musician, poet and prophet in ancient Greek religion. At first I thought that orpheus was a latin term of shark. but it turned out to be the name of person (tough I wasn't sure whether he was real or not). Orpheus was known to have a special ability to charm all living things, even stones with his music. He had wife named Euridice whom he tried to retrieve from underworld (did she died before him?) since he loved her so much. Although he had great ability with his music, sadly he died in hand of those who couldn't hear his divine music (a hard hearted people? Or simply just deaf people??). If u were interested to know more about Orpheus, u could read more about him from wikipedia here.
Wait, I think I remember where Orpheus name appeared. It was on ep 2 when the two main saw a drawing named "Orpheus" by Chagall. The girl said that Orpheus was her ideal man. Hm, I still couldn't connect why they put Orpheus as the tittle since as far as I watched, then main male lead wasn't resemble him at all.

Back to the drama. This drama had 20 episodes, so if u didn't stand long drama (20 was pretty much right? But I still watched it if they had interesting story line) u maybe chose to skip it. But hey, Shark was pretty good with it own complicated story that u couldn't guess anything right. I thought it would be more understandable if I wrote the review along pictures of the character. So here it is,,,

Han Yi Soo (young)
(Yun Jun Suk)

He was just ordinary high schooler at first, a son of Chauffeur for Jo family who had Gaya Hotel. Due to his family situation, he and his younger sister (Han Yi Hyun) together with his father began to live with Jo family in their house (it was the same house in Heirs). The drama started with old video from past where Jo Hae Woo recorded Yi Soo. Yi Sootold Hae Woo that hee like shark out of the animal the most. He explained his reason for this and that turned out that he felt pity for shark since they needed to keep moving around despite on their sleep to make sure they survive under water. It surprised me. Fact that shark didn't have gill was pretty much known, but it never crossed my mind how tired they live would be just to able to breath. Good point! By the way, did u notice that the actor played young Yi Soo was the same with the one played Go Eun Woo, Go Eun Sung's younger brother from Brilliant Legacy?? At that time I was mesmerized by his real acting as autistic young boy.

Jo Hae Woo(young)
(Kyung Soo Jin)


Actually before met Hae Woo on her house, Yi Soo had met her before when they played with their own friends. From time to time, the two got closer and triggered Hae Woo's father hated Yi Soo since he felt insecure toward their huge social gap. Hae Woo found that Yi Soo was so caring in nature and looked like they two fell each other. Alhtough they never stated loved, it was quite clear from how they worried each other. Hae Woo's father had an affair that made the young girl loss much respect to him. Due to that scandal, Hae Woo's mother left the house, made Hae Woo sank in deeper sad. The day Yi Soo's family moved to Jo family was the day Hae Woo's parents fought and that affair also known by Yi Soo's family.

The actress played young Hae Woo (Kyung Soo Jin) was shocked me. She was born on 1987 which made her and her co-star (Yun Joon Suk) had quite big age gap (Yun Joon Suk ws born on 1995). No, not hte gap that surprise me, but how well she matched high school uniform and how they looked good together, as if they were from the same line. I also found out that she was the one played as Jo In Sung's past love interest on That Winter The Wind Blows (2013) as his dead girlfriend. They were the same person but Soo Jin looked much younger in Shark. Beside, Soo Jin had really strong resemblance to adult Hae Woo (Son Ye Jin). They could pass as real sister in real life I think!

Oh  Joon Young (young)
(No Young Hak

Hae Woo and Yi Soo's sunbae,  his family was pretty close to Hae Woo's family. He was known as school gangster, although that was only his way to showed his distress toward his brother's death. He showed some affection toward Hae Woo and his interest toward Yi Soo. They became closer after Joon Young saw Yi Soo protected Hae Woo from some bastard kid. He also accepted fact that his two dongsaeng were in love, typical of cool guy with warm heart. Young Oh Joon Young wasn't get much exposed like the other two young characters.

Contrary from Kyun Soo Jin, the actor, No Young Hak looked much older than his actual age. I even believed at first that the actor played young and adult Oh Joon Young was the same at first (pardon me, but both the actors weren't look familiar to me, so I got confuse for a moment). But Young Hak only 2 years older than Jun Suk.

Han Yi Soo/ Kim Joon/ Yoshimura Jun
(Kim Nam Gil)

Yi Soo looked much more delicate here rather than his true character on Shark. He was handsome when he smiled but he sure radiated mysterious aura when used his mask. I'd said mask since naturally, Yi Soo was a good kid who had been through hard situation. In his young age he had lost his mother from cancer, years later he lost his father too. But not from some natural cause like disease, his father died in accident, moreover his father was offended as hit and run culprit and died in that status. Yi Soo who was smart found something smelly. He tried hard to prove that his father wasn't. The real hit and run culprit was actually Hae Woo's father (Jo Eui Sun) who drove while drunk. He dropped his gold watch that actually could lead the investigation to him. Unfortunately,, the detective in charge was someone with corrupt mental, he quickly learned that the culprit was the Gaya Hotel's successor. He found his own way to get some money easily and fast. At the night the hit and run accident happened, Hae Woo's grandfather (Jo Sang Gook) and also the head of Jo family, had a guest in his house. The guest was Kang Hee Soo. I wasn't sure about him, but it seemed that he was a professor from university who had research about independent day. Apparently, Kang Hee Soo found something that could lead into controversy involving the Jo's head family.

Kang Hee Soo then drove into his own apartment by Yi Soo's father. There another scene appeared. It looked that Kang Hee Soo and Yi Soo's father had dark past that forgotten by Yi Soo's father. Coming from Hee Soo's apartment, Yi Soo's father had document that Hee Soo Showed to Jo Sang Gook before. Due to his layality, he had trouble to believe what written inside, but still, he had a little doubt that made him hid the document in some locker. The locker's key was hidden in music box that he gave into Yi Hyun.

Shortly with unclear reason for me, Yi Soo's father would take the blame and responsibility for Hae Woo's trouble. Also, for unclearing reason at the last time, Yi Soo's father realized by giving his own self to police wouldn't solve his own past trouble. He went to police office to tell them about his own crime, not the hit and run accident. Stupidly, he called Jo Sang gook and told him his plan. That was what lead him to death. In front of Yi Soo he collapsed on the street due to poison injected by someone unknown.

Jo Hae Woo (Adult)
(Son Ye Jin)

Yi Soo found a witness that stated he saw a gold watch was dropped by the culprit. Too bad, the witness was a young 5 years old boy. The detective in charge of the case of course didn't take a damn to this witness.  Later Yi Hyun found a key inside her music box and gave it to her older brother. Smart Yi Soo went to the locker and read th document just to get shock after revealing the truth. Unlike his father, he seemed no trouble believing what was inside. Jo Sang Gook knew about what Yi Soo's doing and had someone tailing at him. The night Yi Soo found the document, she called Hae Woo and asked her to stay strong no matter what would ahppen (Before they fought since Yi Soo already found out who was the real culprit but he had no heart to tell Hae Woo). Blank Hae Woo knew something was wrong by hearing Yi Soo's voice. At the moment, a truck, yes A TRUCK, hit the telephone box where Yi Soo was in hardly. To tell u the truth it was hard for me to accept that someone still able to live after that accident. I was pretty sure that the truck hit Yi Soo's body scarily. Yi Soo's body had never been discovered. But many believing that he was died.

Yi Hyun then adopted by another detective (the real one, u know!) who was in charge of Kang Hee Soo's death. He knew something went wrong with his case and how that case was related in unexplainable way to Yi Soo's father death.

Oh Joon Young (adult)
(Ha Suk Jin)

12 years had passed by.Hae Woo got married, and the groom none other than her high school sunbae, Oh Joon Young. They seemedly love each other until Yi Soo appeared again on their wedding day as another person. Nobody recognized him. He had been turned into some cold hearted man. Yi Soo aka Kim Joon began his revenge. His first move was kidnapping that bad detective that investigating his father's case. What surprised me was, even I knew beforehand that the main theme of this drama was revenge, I never expected the main lead would murder someone. Yes, he did. He killed the bad detective and called Hae Woo (right at the night of her wedding) into the scene. There was a red circle on the scene drawed using that bad detective's blood. Oh oh. Murder, no matter what reason was apart of crime. Huge crime (unless u did it to defense urself). . How came this drmaa turned the main lead into cold murderer who only cared about seeking revenge?? Hm, interesting!!

Cold Yi Soo

In short, it was impossible for me to retell all 10 episode, so I would give u my thought after watched the drama
The Characters
I remembered that Kim Nam Gil was the one acted on Bad Guy but I never had chance to watch that drama. To tell u the truth, I hate a man with mustache since most of them looked older than their actual age with mustache on. But it seemed that in this drama the mustache was part of the actor's life. After watching this I began to think that mustache wasn't that bad.
The character came out really strong in Shark. Not some, but all of them. No character that stand out too much. As the main, of course these three came out the most. But the role of the other was so important that I felt no useless character here.
The younger version were really good in their acting that I felt I didn't want them to grew up. But I was tore on my curiousity to know what the hell was happened here! The adult ver also had great way to express their emotion. I wanted to continuously see young Hae Woo and Yi Soo, but the adult one was threw pieces of puzzle into my head that lead me into frustation.  TOP!!!
I especially enjoyed how they made Hae Woo's grandfather looked so noble outside but actually could be more cunning than the most cunning gumiho.

The Plot
Headache. That what would u got after watched this. The line was so complicated that I needed to solve all of my real problems from my real world before I let myself faced another trouble here. When I had my head full, I restrained myself from watching since it would add another vessel appeared on my temples.
Usually, when watching drama or movie, ur head would automatically worked on guessing. Guess what would happen next, guess who was the real bad guy, guess who was the partner and the other. But this drama wouldn't let u did so. U had no clue at all why Hae Woo'sgrandfather killed all the victim. Why Giant Hotel's president saved Yi Soo and even adopted him.
I even began to questioned whether Yi Soo really the one who killed the bad detective. At first I didn't had any single doubt, but the more story went on, the more tangled the story got. Although it has complicated story but the problem they served looked so real and nothing like unnecessary scene inside.

Overall
I love this. But I advise u, if u wanted to enjoy this drama fully, make sure u had no other proble. Otherwise u would get stress urself and unable to continue If u hate problematic story, this drama wasn't made for u.

That's all for part I. It took much time than I estimated. Plus I couldn't write all that I want since I forgot about them. I even didnt write any about He Woo's family!! Also I got a little distraction from the newest drama: Naeil Cantabile which was the remake ver of Nodamae Cantabile. Ugh, I had tons video to watch but I kept add the new one. See ya on part II!!!

Today's Gulp: Wonder's Mousse Cake

Annyeong annyeong!!! I wanted to wrote about cake I enjoyed weeks ago. Actually, i've made the post about week days after I ate the cake via my smartphone. It was listed as 'published post' but it didn't appear on the home. Since I felt waste if I didn't talk about it, so I made the post again. Of course it wouldn't be the same with my original post since I already forgot everything. But no worry, I have enough confidence that I still remember the taste vividly.

So,,, for u who lived in East java, especially around Semarang, Solo and Salatiga, u must be heard about 'Wonder Bakery'. It was a store which sell (of course) bread and also cake and some traditional snacks. It was famous for its cheap price with good taste and high quality of ingredients (well, I didn't know enough. But the shop looked quite trust worthy). the variety of the bread also vary, though I wasn't fan of their cake. When we need birthday cake, we usually got it from there and the taste was just so so for me. I usually bought ton of bread filled with meat, doughnut, cheese bread and other. But I never bought their sliced cake, but that day was different.

I was thinking to try out their pudding or jelly that day when my eyes caught something. They display a mousse cake!! Wow, I had been only heard that name but didn't get any chance to try that kind of cake. It was around my junior high, when I read a comic about cooking. The main character made a mousse cake. I thought that the cake must be very delicious. Everytime I visited bakery shop, I would always sought mousse cake. But I never found them, so I began to forget. Without much thinking I threw it away into my basket. Hahahaha

Orange!!! Hahaha, did I forget to mention that it was an orange cake???

Actually I didn't really like orange cake or snack or food (but for orange fruit, I adored them so much). But my curiosity won, I almost didn't notice the color. I only cared the name. But, this came to my mind at the moment I wrote this. Actually what was mousse cake?? Was it different to other cake? Why added 'mousse' on the name??? I went googling and found this definition: a rich, frothy creamy dessert made with whipped egg whites and heavy cream (thefreedictionary.com). Ohorat, my own definition was all wrong. I thought it would be about whipped cream only, no such heavy cream. And since this cake felt very light on my mouth, so I thought my definition was right.

Awww, I didn't notice what my laptop showed. That was when I watched drama "Medical Top Team"

Let's talked about the cake. When eating I tended to eat them separately. I would eat the most undelicious one and leaved the best for the last (although I often ended up too full to enjoyed it). So in reviewing this I wouldn't know how it taste if u eat them together. At the very top, they put cherry and some granules (I knew, it were too big to call it granules, but I didn't know what was that). The pink thing flavored like candy and fragile. I didn't really like that, that was too sweet for me. But the cherry! Wow, the cherry had proper sweet that made me so happy. It was also tested fresh! The first layer cake was a light cream that differed with any cake cream I ate (I usually prickly about cream's taste, so far I favor Bread talk' cream the most). Surprisingly, that cream was made my expectation. The second layer was a orange jam that had quite sharp taste, but don't worry. It wouldn't harm ur taste bud since, although it has strong flavor it leaved ur tongue pleasantly. The thir layer was the same with the first one. The last layer was the cake. It also had light taste with sweet that was so good to eat it alone and nice when u ate it together with other. When I tried to ate them together, it melt nicely on my tongue. the light taste was balanced with the strong orange jam.

Overall, I loved this cake. I was thinking to buy it again later. For u whose Wonder Bakery shop was around, try this cake and u wouldn't regret it!! He he he.

Bye bye
XOXO

Review: Etude House Face Conditioning Cream

Hi there. I 'm back again. But not to talk about my previous post (I haven't finish the first 10 episodes ><). I'm back to write about something that made me remember that I had blog. Yup, make up and skincare^^.

For this past years I was into Korean things. Usually I only paid attention to new MVs, songs and dramas. But for this last 2 years, I set my eyes onto the Korean make-up-skincare products (later will only be addressed as K-product). The main reason I got interested to was because their cute and colorful package (yeah, packaging never fail to trap people). I began to save any K-product's picture with cute and eye-catchy package. I told my friend who also loved korea-things about my obsession (that exaggerated though, seeing I never purchased anything yet). How happy I was to find out that she also had some interest like me toward K-products. We often talked about how we would fly into SK to buy many K-products (and also to find some cute buys. LOL. Sounded horrible, yeah I knew).

Dream was only dream. I had no way to put my hands to those amazing products. That time, although I was used to internet, I still was very lack to find about what it called as 'online-shopping'. So I had been satisfy with only having the pictures, re-saw it again and again (how pathetic!!). When I got my holiday last year, I was back into my hometown and! Wow, I found out that Etude house had been opened in my city!!! That was when I with my brother went to find any gift for my mother's birthday). Happily I entered the store only to get some shocked. It was expensive!!! To pricey for student like me. Since I lost my confidence, looking around wouldn't feel so beautiful. I couldn't have it anyway. From any reviews I read, I knew they sold it much cheaper in their own country. I found a way to get the products but I still had to grave those desire. Trying to be patient until the day I had enough money to go to SK myself and buy as many products as possible.

Months later, my junior high school mate came to city I was living in. She slept over, around that time she told me that she knew the cheapest web that sold K-products. Oh, yeay!! After collected some money (I tended to spent money quite quickly since I always in hungry). The first product I decided to buy was that Etude House Face Conditioning Cream. I didn't know what was that face conditiong-thing. The only thing I knew was it was one of EH's new products. That it would smooth ur skin so ur skin could get ready for make-up. Was it BB cream? I didn't seem so since no 'BB Cream' written on it.

It was a multifunction, boosting cream that contain anti wrinkle, spf, whiten skin, balancing the oil and smooth face complexion so that u would ready for ur make up. Oh wow.

credit to: chic-princessa.com
anybody read Korean? Cuz I couldn't. I had no idea what were that percentage supposed to be. I only guessing that this cream would be best if applied with that cushion puff.

without much thinking and consideration, I put this cream on my shopping bag. While waiting for my package, I did the riset. Trying to had as many as reviews as possible about this cream (what a late!! I already bought it!). Gladly, seemed that most (if not all) reviews had quite good comments about this. Yeay, I couldn't wait anymore, come soon my first K-product!!!

Around 4-5 days after I confirmed this with the owner (coudln't remember for sure) the package was arrived safely (Than God!!). That was around April. I tore the wrapping impatiently. I just came back from my work, but since I had no patient I tried it right away. I smelled some kind of vague floral scent. It quite was pleasant for me, I didn't find it annoying. Well, since I tried it soon after I had many activities (which means dirty, uncleaned face. Ugh) without even cleaned my face beforehand I should say I got disappointed from this products. Oh, yeah, since I saw Krystal's photo for the promo, I though I could at less half of her flawless face. LOL.
Okay, quite fooling around, let's start my first review about this Face Conditioning Cream!!

  1.  My 6 months old FCC. Lately I used it almost everyday before I put BB cream on it. Really, before I just wondering what to do with this. I didn't hate it, but I couldn't categorize FCC as my favorite. I didn't found any significant difference when I put it on my face or not. It was like a month ago, I read somewhere (I believed it was from some EH's tips gallery) that if u used this cream everyday, ur face would whiten and ur skin condition could get better. After that I used it always before make up. Forgive me, it only lately that I realized that this FCC really made ur make up last longer. It also really made ur face smoother so u could blend ur BB cream or foundie easier.
  2. The back part of the box. Hangul only readers. So just skip it if u felt like illiterate
  3. The front box. It was white in color, but if it was under lamp light, it gave vibe like pink-peach color. So pretty and elegant. Actually I didn't expect FCC to come out with box, I thought with that cheap price (around IDR 130!!!) they wouldn't bother to made box for it. Surprising me, the box even made it looked like expensive than its real price. From the box, they told u that it contain quite good SPF (25!!), function as whitening, anti-wrinkle and balancing. Swag.
  4. Taraaah......guess what's inside the box! A tube! What else, eh? The tube wasn't made from plastic, but rather a material that reminded me to a toothpaste tube alot. This tube contain 75 g FCC (what a great deal, ladies)
  5. The sexy back tube. This told us about for how long time u could keep it after u opened it from the first time (12 months). Hm, judging from my first impression after apply it, that was quite short time. What if after 12 months and I still had a lot product to use?? Get away headache!!! I've changed my mind about this! Now I thought that I would run out of it before that. Also, this back told us about which material made for the tube. See the triangle pict on the mid bottom? It made from plastic afterall, but not type that we often knew since they categorized it as "other". Confuse? Don't let my words weiht ur mind too much. Hahaha. Although it didn't really show (actually the pict was quite blurr. Blame my modest camera phone), they put the production date above. Mine was 2014-02-13. 
  6. What I like most about FCC was the hygine. If u see the no-5 pict above, u know that not too much product stuck on the cap. What a rare sight for me, since almost all my cap from  tube product got dirtied with the product itself that kept coming out even before u fully open the cap.
  7. Now we know why only little (reeaaally little) product could come out and stuck on the cap. The cream was so thick!! The cream was white in color and the consistency was so solid that u might get afraid about how to bled it. No worry. No problem at all to blend it onto ur face. Even make-up amateur like me didn't face any difficulty to apply it. The color might also frightened u, how if it turned ur face like a ghost? Again, no worry. It did whiten ur face. But only for a moment. Soon after ur skin absorbed it, u would only see ur face got wet...uhm. No, not wet. Well, it leaved ur skin moist. And smooth. Now I believed it would be easier to apply make up on. Also, the floral fresh scent that smelled would be faded away. No additional worry for u who hate ur product smelling. I usually applied it with my hand (I didn't have any sponge). About oil control, hm.....maybe yes? Maybe no? Since I used 3 different BB cream (Maybelline Clear Smooth, Garnier and Caring) so I couldn't really tell. For the long lastin, yep. That was true. Even I couldn't tell the exact time, but my make up surely last longer than before I used this. 
 
Taraah.....Hide my face
Lately my skin condition was so bad. It got irritated easily, made me irritable. Well, thanks to my sleephead, I slept all day along everytime I had chance. That prevented me from eating and dehydrating myself,\. As result I got thinnier and my body water always lack. On picture above, I only put my FCC after I put my Ponds Flawless White. This cream would brighten ur face complexion without whiten it. Know the difference? For me whiten was like ur BB cream or foundie did to ur face. By brightening, they added sparkle thing to ur face, changed ur dull face to be more shine. I didn't put anything then. judging from that, I'm quite pretty, isn't I? He he he he

Time to uncover the full face. Don't get shock with my additional red spot XP
What do u think? FCC was quite good right?? When I stayed at home, I just put this. Highly expectating that it would repair my skin condition. Since FCC was a combo between skincare and make up, but had tendency to be more skin care type. Since they never told to have covering effect, don't get hysteric if ur blemish isn't hided!

Recently EH launched the new variant for their FCC. It was FCC Light. By 'light' I thought that it was about white color produce after applying. Guessing that, I told myself that I wouldn't purchased it. What if that made me really white like ghost?? Stupid me. This new FCC was made targeting those who had normal-oily face. The cream consistency was lighter than the predecessor. Knowing that now I think to give it a try after I finish mine :P.

Overal???

What I like:
  • Good smell!!
  • Bleandable cream despite its thick consistency!!
  • Smoothen face, ready to go gals!!
  • Help ur make up stay still
  • Cheap!!! (my favorite)
  • Bunch of cream inside (75 g!!)
  • Brightening ur complexion. EH called it whitening, but for me, it was more brightening
  • Quick absorbtion, so that u could move to ur next ritual
  • Good SPF, bye bye sunblock (as if I ever used them before XD) 
 What I dislike:
  • Not make ur face color even. They claimed that this FCC would even ur skin, but it didn't work for me :(
 Reourchase? Yes!

That's all from me. Hope it would help u <3

XOXO 

Today's Drama: Shark/ Don't Look Back: The Legend of Orpheus Part 0 (ongoing)


Annnyeong all! Happy Sunday, First, Let me say Happy Eid Adha for Muslim all over the world. Thank u so much for people who had qurban this year. May Allah bless u and ur family always. For people who hadn't had chance to qurban this year, May Allah always bless u and give u chance next time (including me). Aamiin.

The feel to write was so explosive inside me nowdays. But, what to do? Often those feeling was defeated by my huge and great laziness. I was just lying around after my work, downloading any new episodes of dramas I even didn't bother to watch them soon after (like I did before), sleeping on almost my entire time in my room. Really, it didn't reflect me at all! This kind of laziness changed drastically. In past I prefer opened my eye all night along to download or watch dramas. Now? It looked like I prefer to sleep more, this is how ur age affected u (LOL, I'm not that old though). Then, cus I kept downloading, the main problem that soon or later would be faced by me was the matter of disk. Yup, my hard disk inside my laptop had been protest against me lately. The indikator when u opened the 'my computer' always showed red color. Means I only had a little gb left. actually having more than 2 gb in each disk was a miracle. So I began to clean up my laptop. Deleting any file that had been stored more than once. Deleting any file that I thought wouldn't be opened again on the future (with cry of course).

When I classified my file with 'new', 'under process' and 'checked', I found out a drama that had been stored for long time without being watched by me. It was Shark, a k-drama played back then in 2013 (a year ago!!!). I remembered copied it to my friend and she kept asking me to download the rest episode cuz she thought the drama was really feasible to watch. FYI, this friend of mine was quite petty to share her "good" word. Some dramas that I said really good, she would rate it with 'nothing's really outstanding'. So, heard she said that Shark had sparked her interest was quite a reason to me to download it until the last episode. But what to do? new dramas kept coming out, my favorite idols kept making comeback and new album or single kept released. So I trapped in priority to choose what to download first. With that, more than half year had been passed and Shark's rank in my priority kept forgotten.

Then the chance came. I bought new 'kartu perdana' (dunno what in english, it was a new number) for my modem that had been registered with 1 month package of internet with really cheap price (usually I needed IDR 55 for my current internet package, but this new kartu perdana was only IDR 35 with the same package). I almost purchased 2 cards, but relieved since I didn't do so. I later found out why they sold it cheaply, it was only had 2 weeks left until the it's applicable time expired. Damn, my old number still had quite a lot quote to be spent. But it was okay. Spending was always easier than saving.

So, in order to spent my new number package, I opened my old unfinished dramas that I delayed to download since I felt the newer was more fascinating. That was the factor that lead me to write about that drama now. Heol, I really wrote to much prolog for that.

I wrote 'part I' on the title since I haven't finished watched it yet. So I wanted to share what my brain thinking about the first few episodes before I finished the whole drama. K-drama (and any other drama though) tended to had different vibe when u first watched them, in the middle of episodes and last episodes. I rarely found any dramas that outshine until its last episodes. Some of them had really great start but then in the next episodes until it last, I couldn't help but felt so bored (ehem, The Heirs, ehem). Some had reverse pattern, when u couldn't get what the heck happened with the first episodes. that u hated the dramas,  then shyly admitted that it was actually quite nice ( I definitely had this kind of felt before, just forgot what drama made me that way).

Shark poster that didn't catch my attention at all

Unlike my other past watched dramas, Shark was a story about revenge. Check what Wikipedia said about this!
Han Yi-soo (Kim Nam Gil) loses his father and narrowly escapes death because of the owners of Gaya Hotel Group, the family of Jo Hae-woo (Son Ye jin), his first love. A wealthy and influential Japanese businessman adopts him, and 12 years later he returns to Korea with a new identity and carefully plots to avenge Hae-woo's family. Hae-woo, who believed that Yi-soo was dead, becomes a prosecutor to find out the truth about what happened to him. The two become caught between love and revenge.  

Without too much chic-chat-unneeded words, let me tell u my review about this drama

The Tittle: Shark?? Eeee,,,really? The tittle didn't encourageme  enough to watch the drama. I couldn't figure out what kind of story they offered to us.
The Cast: Actually I always looked who would be in the drama first before everything. If I knew the actors, it would be highly I interested to it. By knowing the actors it would add 'plus' to the drama since I knew their acting quality,so I would anticipate the plot and enjoy it more. Although I coudln't get the tittle, since I saw Son Ye jin on the list, I checked the synopsis right away. I knew her from her drama with Lee min Ho (what was the tittle again? I forgot, sorry) and through her became guest on Running Man. I never watched Kim Nam Gil's drama before but I was sure I often heard his name.
The Plot: No No. Based on the synospsis Shark was about revenge. And seeking revenge was never a good thing. I could imagine that the story of Shark was pretty heavy, a typical drama that would make u rise ur eyebrow in ur effort to understand what was going on and why such tragedy could happened. I wasn't really a fan of that kind of drama. So i decided to not put it on my download list.
The OST: So, this factor that made me changed my decision in the end. Usually I didn't give a damn about OST. I didn't care so much about the song. I often checked whose singer sang the OST but not to pont to listen it. Risky since I could loss a good song to include to my mp3 list. The quite surprise thing on Shark was that they had BoA to sing they OST. Seriously?? As far as I remember I never heard BoA's OST before (maybe she released some but I didn't manage to listen to it). I downloaded the song (which was entittled as "Between Heaven and Hell", heol such scary) and fell in instantly. I didn't know the lyrics since I didn't understand Korean at all, but I felt so much pain while listen to it. Like a heartbroken feeling that u choked to breath and felt pain all over ur body. Thanks to BoA i decided to give Shark a try.

Well. it was quite long post eh? Actually I wanted to share about my opinion through the first 10 episodes. But thinking that it would make this post suuupeeerrr lonng, so I decided to halt it here. I'll be back to Part I. I promise

Bye bye
XOXO

between my work: another shocking, what's happen with sica and gg?

Annyeong. I'm seriously has no much  energy left now.  I believe that the whole K-Pop world was left in some kind of mixed feeling. Shocked, disbelieved, angry, depressed, stressed, didn't understand, and any other unexplaineable emotion. Well, some of that was felt by me. It affected me so, that I couldn't bring myself full concentration to what I had to do. I mean, I even wasn't SONE but it distracted me greatly. What would SONE felt??? *sigh

This nightmare was begun in the morning, when I read some k-pop related news (thanks God my connection was back). Nothing special there, then that news just pop up nowhere entitled with 'jessica dropped from girl's generation?' (from allkpop). The hell, what's wrong???Weeks ago they just announced that all of GG members renewed their contract with SM. TaeTiSeo had just made comeback with Holler.  I hurriedly read the article and, well I could take a really relieved breath. Since the news came out due to post in her Weibo which stated: 

 credit: Allkpop
From Sica's Weibo account
He? Seriously?? I thought it was a prank at first, and saw the comments below the article, I knew I wasn't the only one. I mean, the case was looked like she was kicked from the group by the company. OMG, this was SM that we were talking about and Girl's Generation, the most recognized K-Group in the world!!! Why would SM did such thing, like tearing apart the group, if they tried hard to prevent the previous case from departuring (like Kris' case)??? I mean, yeah, although I was SM addict, I should admit that SM was quite cruel to their group's fans (like releasing so many different type of the album for one same tittle), so it sounded funny if they were the one who kicked the member right? I could say it almost impossible. And GG, damn. I just couldn't believe it. No, I didn't believe it at all. Also, it said "8 other members", ho ho, what?? Don't tell me that the other members had 'agreed' to let Sica out from GG. I wasn't SONE but I believed that they bond was strong and since I never heard any serious conflict before, so yeah I just didn't give it a damn. Well, it wasn't like they never quarreled before, it was impossible though, but to think they could reach this kind of agreement for one member was sounded hell impossible for me. So I went work without any worry, smiled as usual.

Then, between my spare time in hospital, like I usually did before, I opened my facebook account, just wanted to see the new pictures uploaded by many fansites which I was a member in. And BAM!! They released an article about statement from SME about this matter. Since connection error, I couldn't open the site so I just read the comments below and those made my day went so bad. The comments lead me to my own conclusion, that the post was made by Sica, not stupid hacker like I and many thought before. And if it was posted by Sica itself, I knew this wasn't good thing. I got totally confuse, couldn't extract any reasons why SM pulled her out. What was the problem actually??? Thanks to my curiosity, I couldn't really focus to my work. What I wanted was my teacher went home as early as possible so I could check the contain of the news by connection in my room with my laptop. I told my friend about my concern, but since they weren't K-Popers like me, they just reacted with "What's wrong with that? Doesn't it happened everyday?" or "Really? That means ur SME was super bad in manage their artists". Uh-Oh.

Sica, are u okay?
Sica was never be my most favorite member in GG (who cared my preference anyway?? My most loved member was Taeng) but something inside her made me kept wanting to know any news about her. I tend to ignored any news about other girl that I less like, but for Sica (since she often appeared on photoshot on magazine), I almost read any article about her that pooped out from any sites. 

Rumor flying regarding this matter was about her fashion line, BLANC. Okay, another shocked. I thought SM was fully supporting this? I thought no problems at all with this issue between her and the company and the members? Seriously I never imagined this was the cause of this disasterous thing this early October. It wasn't like I blamed BLANC or what, I just got hit so hard by this news. They said that the problems lied in the concern that Sica couldn't take both GG and BLANC as priority. It was said that they believed that Sica should put GG as her first priority, said that business could be taken as the second one. Since Sica was the CEO for BLANC that it would make her super duper busy, although GG's activities were already hectic and tight. They said that SM had asked Sica to choose between two, since they believed that Sica couldn't keep both as her first priority. These things then explained the post above, Sica thought that she already did her best for GG but the company and the members still didn't trust her and hence forced her to leave when she still couldn't decide one.

Since I ate up the article around 5 AM, the news about SM' official statement had been there. Sitting in the breaking section. Although previous rumor told about marriage issue (I read it before, but never thought it could be this serious). Here is SM statement:
"Hello. This is SM Entertainment.

We are offering our position on the words posted on Jessica's Weibo today.

This coming spring, due to her personal situation, she notified us she will halt her team promotions with the release of one [more] album.

Despite Jessica's sudden notice, the agency and the Girls' Generation members tried our best and tried to figure out a way that Girls' Generation's activities can continue in the best possible direction.

However, in the midst of insufficient negotiations regarding conflicts of differences in priorities and interest, Jessica started her fashion business. Due to this, despite ongoing talks, it has come to a point where the team could not be maintained.

Thus, the agency had no choice but to pull up Girls' Generation's activities as 8 members earlier than planned, and in the midst of while working out when to announce this, Jessica had posted her words early this morning.

From here on, our agency will continue to support and manage the 8-member Girls' Generation and Jessica's individual activities."


What was ironic for me was, even I knew that GG released their new edition of their "The Best" album, I just found out that they had new tract tittiled "Divine" days ago and just watched the PV story ver for the song this early morning. God! The song was so good, their vocal was so smooth that I really enjoyed it. Soon I searched for the mp3. I had this in my mind while listening to it for the first time "Omo, Sica's voice was really clear!!". Sadly few hours later this news became breaking news everywhere, shocking many.

Well, at first I really determined to post this soon at 30th of September, but I had my own issues that also needed to be taken care as fast as possible. So I was able to continue to write down my opinion two days later on 2nd of October. At due time I wrote this, there was been statement from Sica, update about Krystal and Taeng's apology to SONE.

Yeah, actually first thing came to my mind after worried about GG after SM released their statement was "The heck? What would happen to our f(x)??". I meant, one of the member was Krystal jung, the sister of Sica who infamous to be really close to her unnie. With f(x) current status as group (with Sulli went to hiatus with unclear period of time), I worried a lot. Since I was SMTown fan (I loved any artist under that company, yeah) and it seemed their line up this year (almost) totally in a mess with Kris' lawsuit (call me delusional, but I still sincerely praying that he would back. selfish? Whatever, I just miss him too much), Sulli' dating scandal and hiatus and then BAM! GG just added another problem to add my wrinkle (as if I didn't have wrinkle enough on my face). I knew, I knew, everything that happened this past few days was out of control. Sica didn't want it, the other 8 members didn't expected it an SM didn't get enough to managed it.

From what I read on Sica's weibo post was she 'thought' that she had shed her best sweat to protect both her BLANC and GG. from SM's statement, they 'thought' they had discussed it enough with Sica and got much frustating to tell Sica that working the two as the main priorities at the same time was impossible. So what was wrong then? A misunderstood from both party? A lack of trust from one party toward another? A selfish dream from one? Dunno, when they both failed to find on which way they couldn't understand each other, how we expected us, as an outsider who only got know from the very surface of the real problem here, to understand their condition. No, don't get me wrong. I don't blame them. I just asked you, whoever u are, whether u're SONE, K-Pop fans, or person who only got ur curiosity up on this case (except for haters, oh well, why u need a much hate on ur heart to people who doesn't even know u??)  to not asked too much from them. They deserve to get some time to rethink again this situation. We need explanation. Yes, but maybe it wouldn't come as soon as u wish.

Also, like I told u before, I loved taeng out of the GG members. I just couldn't stand it, that some people badmouthing her. Talked sh*t as if they knew her so well (okay, I admitted that I also didn't knew her more than them, but was harsh and hurtful comments really needed here???). After Sica made her own statement, people on the urge asked the other members to speak up. Saying that on that silence, they actually proved that they really betrayed her sister. And then, on TTS fanmeeting, Taeng spoke about her being sorry to SONE. Then what people said to her? Shouldn't they now satisfy that the member now speakin? Hell, but NO. They then bashed her saying that Taeng faked it. That if she really sorry, she shouldn't kick her sister like that. For the God sake, what that people wanted actually???

Sica for her BLANC promotional picture

 This was what Sica had for her statement:
"Hello. This is Jessica.
I was given a notice of departure from Girls' Generation by the agency on September 29, and I cannot hide my shocked and upset heart about this, so I'm here to reveal my position.

I have always put Girls' Generation's activities before my business or personal life as a member of Girls' Generation. However, despite my efforts for the team, I have been asked to leave the team by the agency.

While I was planning my business that I've had a lot of interest in since before, I had sufficiently consulted SM as well as the members about my preparation many times and asked for their understanding.

Up until the beginning of August when I was launching 'BLANC', I had received agreement and permission from SM, and congratulations from the members as well.

However, in early September, after only a month since the launching, the members suddenly changed their position and held a meeting, and told me to either quit my business or leave Girls' Generation without any justifiable reason. 
I explained that I had already received permission from the agency, that I had never neglected Girls' Generation's activities, and that I could not suddenly halt my business due to my contract with my business partner after a month. 
Ultimately, I pleaded that it was unjust for me to have to make a choice. Becoming a Girls' Generation member was the best thing in my life, and I had never thought about quitting.

Shocked about this, I had met with the agency CEO on September 16 to convey my position, and once again confirmed their permission for carrying out my business.

However, on September 29, I was given a one-sided notice asking me to leave Girls' Generation. Due to this, I was also unable to attend the fan meeting in China on September 30, and I have also been excluded from following Girls' Generation activities.

I have received great pain and cannot hide my sadness that I was asked by the agency and fellow members, whom I've spent 15 years with putting in all my passion and effort, to leave Girls' Generation just because of the reason that I'm starting a business.

I also want to apologize for causing concern to all the fans. Please understand that this situation is not at all what I had wanted, and that I've always treasured Girls' Generation, and that I will continue to do so. Thank you for always supporting and loving me.

Sincerely,
Jessica
See? There was misunderstood there. Lack of conversation. even among the closest friend, u could get misunderstand simply due to lack of communication (they said Sica leave for her personal matter and back to SK a day before China's fanmeeting)
Couldn't SM let her do both business and GG for the same time. Anyway, if then Sica couldn't handle both properly, that would be the time to ask her priority. If Sica then do great on both, would it hurt Sm and GG? Couldn't Sica wait a little bit more, being patient once again (I knew there was always limit for patience, but she has had this dream for long time to make it real rite?) and just assured her agency by pushing back her BLANC debut (what the hell with my word? LOL). Couldn't another members help their sister by assuring their comapany that Sica would do her best? Come on, just because u thought u were really close like a real family didn't mean u wouldn't need words to convey ur message. U had brain to think, heart to choose and mouth to tell the world the words inside u.

I wanted to post about the english trans, but I couldn't copy it here. Too much words perhaps??


Well then, I need to go back to my work. Stay strong SONE!!! Stay strong for myself too

XOXO
They’re way too fragile aren’t they
These feelings that sway ever so lightly
I’m looking for the  answer that
Disappears when dawn breaks
This close road that blocks my way
This starlight that becomes my guide
Hey, I want you to tell me
The place where I should go
Even though it’s so far away that
It seems like this small me will be crushed
I’m waiting for god’s will
This is destiny
So to speak, this small me is powerless against
The raging waves that give their loud roars, but
The sea will surely part
And make a path for me
One day,
We can be divine
Atop the ground that grew cold,
I’m going to walk barefooted
And your warmth
Will support me
(you always by my side)
I was born alone and yet
It’s as if I was bound to meet you
You, know me
more than anyone else does
I’ll stand up to face
Everything grand, fatally
When I’m with you
I can become stronger
There wasn’t supposed to be anything I was scared of and yet..
Hey.. I don’t want to lose you
Until the day comes when
The light shines through the gaps in the clouds
I won’t say goodbye
When various paths
Open up to me, at that time
I’ll surely remember
This wish
The journey we both walked together
We’ll make that our proof, forever
We are always one
What will we say we’re capable of
Once we stand before the waves that give their loud roars?
We’ll meet this distress, with a gentle intimacy
I believe
We can be divine
Our feelings are one

GIVEAWAY!!! Brace urself for chocobunnii13' 1st blogiversary giveaway

It has been reeeeeeealy long time since my last post, huh?? I finally back to Salatiga, where I continue my study here after Eid Al-Fitr's holiday. So, guess what???? I got some new giveaways gals!!! Yeah, it was more than 1 giveaway, so prepare urself to enter the giveaway. Who knows u lucky enough to get the prizes? Yeay!

Okay, the first one was from a beautyblogger named aimee with her blog chocobunnii13 in order to celebrate her first bog anniversary. How generous!!!

So, there will be 2 winner with 2 set of prizes (cross my finger). The first one is skincare product and the second one is make up product. Told u, I couldn't choose which one I want since both prizes are superb amazing (well, I behaved like I was the winner ><)

Let's take a look!! U wouldn't be wavering if I didn't show u any pict of the prizes right???

1st Prizes: Skincare Set
  1. Tony Moly Tomatox Message Pack (1), one of Tony Moly best seller product gals!!! It could whiten ur skin soon after u wash it out with water! This mask pack also could be used to smooth and calm face after ur daily hectic schedule. Well, from my personal opinion, any mask would give the same white efect after used, but, hey I'm not in position to judge since I never try this before ><
  2. Nature republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel (1), even after knowing that this gel is one of most selling product from Nature Republic, I didn't give any attention. Even after I knew that this product could be used in all of ur body from head to toe, I still dind't budge. So what? My mum had same type of product. So I was indifferent. But then, EXO became Nature Republic model and they advertised this!!! OMG!!! Instantly I want this gel so bad ><. LOL. The effect of love, hahahahaha
  3. SkinFood Pineapple Peeling Gel, (1), this is the first time I heard about this product. So, in order to prevent the blank page in this product, I went googling a little. But, I think that it was like any other peeling gel from any brand tough some used it up to 4-5x/week (as far as I know, u only exfoliate ur skin twicww a week, but I have no clue, so yeah....><)
  4. Face Shop Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam (1), u are freely to choose ur own preferance since there are 6 types!! Oh wow!
  5. Missha Pure Source Sheet Mask (5), just like cleansing foam above, u got ur freedom to chose which mask u want and there are 5 mask for u!! Hem, I never try any sheet mask before, so I have no opinion about this, beside that Missha is one of quite expensive brand. So I guess their quality is not to be questioned?

2nd Prizes: Make Up Set
  1. Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeline (1), this ws the infamous gel liner from that famous Tony Moly! I want this eyeliner badly but may OS was out of color that I want ><. Babe, u can chose the color <3. Well ALL of inside make up set was up to ur choice.
  2. Innisfree Creamy Tint Lip Mousse (1), yeah yeah, Innisfree is a cosmetic brand that used most of their product ingredient from jeju island and had Girl's Generation Yoona as their model. And yes. I'm willingly to try this product
  3. Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar (1), this product stand in midline between lipstick and lipgloss. Oh what? Dunno. Some said that the color appeared too sheer (I didn't surprised), but hey, do u see that those bunny expression is different from one cap to another?? Hem, worthy to have.
  4. Etude House Play 101 Pencils (2), OMG!!! From the list of these amazing products, I want this so bad!!! I watched tutorial by Pony and couldn't help but fall to this. sadly, I didn't own fiar skin (well, I'm not into white fair skin, but I try hard to make my face healthier) so I was quite afraid to purchase any. How if it doesn't match? But if some give me freely, it will be different story ><
How? Are u interested??? Hurry and join!This will ends September 26. Check here to enter this internationally open giveaway. Wish we  luck ><

XOXO

July's Haul

Taqabbalallah hu minna wa minkum
Happy Eid Al-Fitr for my brotherhood in Islam all over the world. Hope we could live in His bless always. Amen.

Today I'm sitting in my house in full make up and ready to welcome any guest coming to our house. It's boring in this noon sice I believe people prefer to lay over in their own houses and  start to visit their relatives again in evening when sun becomes dimmer. So I'm trying to killing time and blogging was my choice.

Since july will end soon and I'm quite sure that I wouldn't buy anything again this month, so let's look what I got in this month. Not much tough. Check this out gals <3

Garnier Night Cream Sleeping Essence Sakura White
Remember my first haul post?? When I told u that I got wrong cream, soon after I bought the day cream of this series, I purchase the right one I wanted. Actually I wasn't sure whether I got this in june or july, since it was only day or two days after I had the day cream. It wasn't intentional tough, when I accompanied my friend to convenience store, I found this and without thinking much I bought it. judging the packaging, no wonder I thought it was the day cream at first. But hey, this tube was much better than jar one. Why?? Since I could bring this anywhere without worrying it would spill and this form saving so much space in my bag. Performance? I really love it!!! Once I applied it in my face I fell for the scent! It was fresh without much sharp fragrance. And, OMG!! It really did it's job. I wake up without oily face like I usually had with or without night cream before. It also faded out my dark spot from acne. I really did!! I love it, thinking to have it again since now I almost dried it out.

Pond's Flawless White Day Cream, Pond's Flawless White Night Cream, Pond's Flawless White Serum
Xixixixi, these three product cost around IDR 200, a number that definitely stopped me buying it. Well, since I got it from my mother, so I didn't lost anything. At first I was wonder why it cost so much, then I found out why after seeing the products. The cream was the big size which each was 50 g (or mg??). Actually I got this even before I had my garnier sakura white series. I asked my mum to buy me these since I couldn't find it my city. I never tried it before, I was just out of my skin care products and by coincidence I read some info about this. My mum bought it soon after I asked her, but unfortunately she wasn't able finding time to send it to me. Finally I could touch it after I came home. Since I still use my garnier sakura white, so I haven't open this yet.

Etude House Baby Choux Base:Peach Choux, Etude House Pearl Aura Trial Kit, Etude House Styling Eyeliner Brown, The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Aqua Proof Marker Tint red
Quite much, eh? Comparing to what I got from last shopping this was 3x more expensive since I got more products. Actually I also ordered Etude House Eye's Cream Mint Cooling, but it looked like the product wasn't available. Sad, since I'm out of eye cream.

Etude house Baby Choux Base:Peach Choux
I was sold after watching the CF. Well, actually I was fell for the jar packaging which was suuper cute and innovative, but it seemed Etude House didn't produce it again and rather they replaced the packaging with tube, which was far more simple, and add extra product inside with the same price as the jar type. If only I didn't try their Precious Mineral Magic Any Cushion, I would buy the Mint Choux without thinking much. Like Pond's Flawless White Series, I haven't touch this base since I'm in home now, and my mum would nag a lot if it related with my face products. I hope I was destined with this product since I love the CF. I didn't have quite good result with the Berry Choux that I got the sample from my past purchase. The price was around IDR 100

The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Aqua Proof Marker Tint Red
I changed my order from other brand tint to this since i read review said it really had good waterproof color. Since I wanna have pretty lip color even after eating and drinking, so I decided to have this, even it cost much than my initial tint I wanted, it was around IDR 60. I chose the red one over the pink coz I thought pink would be too bright for me. Only used it three times and my friends looked over like she never saw me before. Was the color too red? I didn't think so. Then my mum saw me with this and rushly asked me to wiped it off. Uh oh, I will use it again after I back to java. I wouldn't know how to wear it if I didn't keep use it, rite? I believe I could find way to wear this without rising any eyebrows of people.

Etude House Styling Eyeliner Brown
I was wonder with what kind of result produced by Korean eyeliner, so I bough this. Beside, it also cheap, no more than IDR 30 needed to have this. I chose brown color, actually I wanted to buy the white one too, but many reviews said this eyeliner was quite bad that it broken easily. Hm, then let just try one. So far I didn't find any problem with it, the color was good that my friend thought I didn't wear anything. Maybe I will get headche when I need to sharpen it, since the rod was so thin.


Etude House Pearl Aura Trial Kit
This trial one had a lot cheaper price than the full size. This both cost around IDR 30 in clear plastic case that really travel friendly. The full size one each cost more than IDR 150, really great deal rite?? This skin care was the new product from Etude House that said would make ur face bright and shine like pearl. Still, due to garnier, I haven't try it yet. I guess I wouldn't need to buy any cream until next year. If u see the product image in any online shop, u would think the tube was quite big. In reality it was really small, well, what u expect from only 10 and 15 ml? Nonetheless, I'm thinking to repurchase this trial again if it works well in my face. Why? Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. Hahahahahaha.

 Luna Eye Contact Lens Diamond Black
Did I tell u that I broke my glasses? Man, it was no more than a year since I got my lastest glasess, I didn't have any courage to tell my parents. So, a day before my flight, I purchased this lenses to prevent me looked like idiot in airport. I prefer the transparent one actually, but the brand that had it was more expensive than this. I wasn't sure I could care my lenses, so I chose the cheapest one, if I didn't like it, I wouldn't loss much. Haahahaha. When I wore it, it worked pretty good to me. I thought I could adapt well. But guess what? My parents disagreed with this contact lenses, specifically my father. They still found out it was so scary to wear something directly onto ur eyes. So they forbid me wearing this again. Soon, tomorrow after I arrived in my hometown they bought me the new glasses so I wouldn't have any reasons wearing my lenses. I wasn't protest tough since I still prefer glasses.But I forgot to take pict of my new glasses. Kekekeke

That's all. Actually my mum bought me two new baby dolls (She really hates me wearing my usual clothes). One green shirt with pink trouser and the other was a set of yellow cloth with cute black cartoon printing.

Bye bye annyeong...

Today's Song: EXO's Chen Best Luck~

Somebody missing me???
      I encountered some problems that I couldn't reach any connection for some time. It was really hard for me ;(. 
     So, I got my holiday, we all got it though. At 19th july we all had our last day in hospital and would have short break (really short, u know) started from sunday. But I reserved the ticket plan at 22th july so i couldn't fly directly after this season ended. So I just stayed in my friend house for a while and guess what?? I forgot to bring my laptop' charger! Damn! So I was no-internet for days. Thanks God, I found out that my mum got new laptop that had the same brand as mine. With hard heartbeating, I tried whether this would match mine. And it did!!! So here I'm. Alive.
      Nah, what to discuss? My head was once full with so many ideas that frustated me. I wanted to write badly. but now, those brilliant things fly leaving my head empty and confuse. Uh oh. I decided to talk about song. Actually for this past weeks so many songs caught my attention. Seriously. But I Chose one song that I loved the most these days. It was hard guys. Then, what song???? It was none other than ost sung by our superb vocalist: EXO's Chen!!! Yay!! <3
     So, the story is...Chen sung this song named "Best Luck" in order to show his support to his EXO's member (the other great vocal: DO) who took role in SBS new drama. The drama entitled It's Okay, It's Love and this ost was the part I.

Chen recording  for the It's Okay, It's Love OST

     Have u listened the song?? I bet all of EXO fans has laready had this in their playlist. Or, even if u aren't the boys fans, if u watched the drama I'm sure that u heard this song already and quite positive that u liked it. Since the song really smooth and ear candy!! 
     Best Luck had gentle and sweet harmony that matched reaallyyy well with Chen's voice.The song started with a delicate melody and a humming from Chen. The song wasn't boring at all and the chorus was addictive (at least for me :P). It was a story about man who loved his girl so much that he felt that he was such lucky to have the girl (okay, I'm melting). He believed that they were destined together and really thankful as he thought the girl was his best luck he ever had in his life. He loved the girl so much that he wished to be together always forever. A typical of love song. Actually after read the lyric, I'm not sure whether these two had been dating or not, since there was lyrics said: I want to confess my hidden heart, I love u
Nah? Quite enough to raise ur eyebrow, eh?

Okay, this man is my bias crusher in EXO. The more u know him, the more charming he is, I forgot the phrase in Korean to called people like him XD

      It wasn't surprise if u tried to figure out the similarity between this song with EXO' Lucky, since the tittle
just the same. Well, honestly I didn;t even read the tittle when they announced that Chen would sang for the ost. I was too happy to be able read the song's name. Listening to Chen's voice in new song definitely more than good reason to be hype for me. Then they released it, but I still unable to recognize the name. Only after I watched the subbed video I realized it. Hey, but this two songs were differ greatly, the only similarity only the tittle.  Well, actually both praised the lover, but u knew once u heard Lucky. That song was definitely for the fans (em, Korean and Chinese fans for specific) whereas Best Luck told about a boy and girl. Also, Lucky was such cheerful and such carefree melody, in Best Luck u could hear more gentle and calm tone that melt ur heart slowly. I wouldn't mind to listen to this song all day XD

between my work: Short Story about My Last Exam

      Hai hai hai. Again, another between my work post. Ck ck ck ck, it looked like I quite busy, eh? But it didn't that packed (my schedule I mean) actually. It just too many things to do (ehem, student, ehem).

      Before writing my post, let me tell u my story from my previous post (Today's MV: f(x) Red Light). I told u that I would have my test the day after tomorrow I wrote it right? Nah, soon after I finished my post, it was already past midnight (dunno why it took so much time just to write it). My head was so fuss, I wasn't study yet for next day test and my eyes complained. Said that they needed rest (read: I was sleepy T___T). Okay then, my final decision was to sleep for a while. Only SHORT sleep. I slept with phone on my hand, hoped it would wake me up since I set the alarm with vibrate mode on. Thanks God, I could woke though my eyes were so heavy.

      Then I studied about case that I THOUGHT would be the material for my test. Simple, only one case. It was about congenital heart disease, my friend told me that there was 1 patient that looked have those CHD since he heard murmur (an additional sound heard beside the normal heart sound when u put ur stetoscope). I was so positive, really sure that this would be made into case by my teacher. Limited time made me only studying those 1 case. Confidently I came to the patient in the morning, ready to checked him by myself (I didn't touch this patient before, so this was the first time I met him). Guess what? I found trouble here.
  1. The kid was so incooperative. Everytime I got close to him, he would cry loudly. Oh boy, I didn't bring any needle u know? Every moments our eyes met, he would gone mad. Ugh, this was one of challange to have kid as patient
  2. My friends didn't hear any additional sound like he heard before! Damn, I just hoped the they couldn't hear it since the kid kept shouting and crying
  3. I also didn't hear it! Noooooo!!!!! Ignoring the kid hard effort to extruding me, I kept my stetoscope on his chest. Tried so hard to listen, ready to catch any abnormal sound. Nothing. I was so dead.
  4. It would be okay if this kid didn't have any heart problem, I would be also as glad as his parents (who would be happy facing sick people anyway?). But this patient had been hospitalized couple of days, and since he got nothing wrong I was highly suspected that he would be discharge soon after my teacher paid his visit that day (I was right! He had been discharge)
     Sya la la la....I only could sing now.In rush, I ran over my laptop and tried so hard to read as many as possible about other disease. The suspected CHD? forget it. I was 80% positive that my teacher wouldn't let me take that case. How was the mechanism of this test?
    First, we would suggest a case. Approved. Then doing some anamnesisand physical examination, then find some diagnosis. this whole process would be judged and the poin would be added. I was right. My case was thought too simple to be a case for an exam, so he gave me other case instead. What kind?? It was about neonatal (0 day-28 days old baby), he asked me to take low birth weight infant that currently in perinatology room, That's all. My story ended. No physical examination, nor anamnesis, how did u expect me having chit chat with a newly born baby? Then I need to write down everything about this baby, story from her delivery, family history, how were her condition during hospitality, my diagnosis and my plan to treat her. The deadline was today. And I didn't even touch it. Well, I'm planning to finished it soon though. So, bye bye...........
XOXO
