i've been 'K'-d

did any of you notice that playlists i've been posting lately are OSTs from Korean drama? hehehe! ok, i admit, i have been bitten by the korean wave/craze over their drama series. when everyone else was into it 5 yrs ago, i only got to watch a full series on DVD last year.

it started when i heard a song from a korean drama (tagalized version), Autumn in My Heart. searched for it over the net and repeatedly played it on my MP3 player. i got a bit curious why people are so crazy over such, so i read some reviews of other K-dramas, listened to some of their OSTs and i found myself getting addicted to the songs.

I did not know then that our cable provider has a korean channel, i was just surfing for channels then i found one airing with english subtitles (Terms of Endearment/Conditions of Love). every night from then on, i watch dramas on that channel until...pfffft! Grrrr! our cable provider decided to pull out certain channels from the package that we are subscribed to. they said they are upgrading their system, if i want to add more channels, i will have to pay extra, etc.etc. blah blah...

anyways, i found consolation from DVDs... bought some of the dramas i've watched on tv and some new and old ones too. i think my addiction was also because of the twists in their stories, especially the comedy ones. it's like im watching my daydreams/life dramas on tv harhar!

I'm happy being 'K'-d! how about you? ÜÜÜ

question marks and my weird imagination

i may have told few friends, one time or another, that i think im a big "question mark"... seems like i have no idea where my life leads to... always on the run but not getting anywhere. eto na naman ako... trying to find purpose again... haaay! ano ba! until now confused ako.. walang direction... although i try to live my life as decently as possible pero parang lagi may kulang. lagi akong may hinahanap.. lagi akong may tanong... na hindi ko mahanapan ng sagot... until i find siguro yung purpose ko, that's when i will get my answer. hahaha! ang labo ko 'no?

e ano bang bago sa akin, wala! siguro dapat mag-transform ako...gawa kaya ako ng alter ego ko... dapat yung tipong superhero! ang gusto kong special powers yung kagaya kay Hiro Nakamura sa Heroes, yung nakakapag-manipulate ng time... i want to stop time where situations/things need to be fixed, travel to the past, present and future. (yun ang gusto ko...walang pakelamanan! imagination ko ito!) tapos gusto ko ding maging computer geek, yung tipong nagha-hack sa database ng mga highly secured systems ng FBI, and yung sa government system natin dito sa Pilipinas (para isiwalat ang lahat ng mga katiwalian ng mga bugok nating politiko!). tapos, magiging member ako ng isang special team ng mga super heroes at hahabulin kami ng mga agents na gusto kaming patayin.. pero lagi namin sila matatakasan! hahaha! la lang... para exciting lang ang buhay di ba?

Sonet XVII by Pablo Neruda

Sonnet 17
by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way
because I don't know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I nor you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep
it is your eyes that close.
