Bob Ong Quotes

i have been digging Bob Ong Books for a while.. i have read 4 of his books which were, "Ang alamat ng Gubat", "Bakit Baligtad Magbasa ang mga Pilipino", "Stainless Longganisa" and "Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas".. his books were hilarious and it talks about society, politics, religion, beliefs, and traditions.. here are some quotes from his books :)

"mangarap ka at abutin mo ito. wag mo sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta o mga lumilipad na ipis... kung may pagkukulang sayo ang magulang mo, pwede kang manisi at magrebelde, tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag drugs ka, magpakulay ng buhok sa kili-kili... sa bandang huli, ikaw din ang biktima... rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili..."
-Bob Ong

Nalaman kong hindi pala exam na may passing rate ang buhay. Hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration, o fill-in-the-blanks na sinasagutan, kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga naisulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures.

Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo pag nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba’t-ibang paraan. Tanging diploma ay ang alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan.

"mag-aral maigi; kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka sa pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher."

"...ayokong sabihing susubok naman ako ng iba. walang "iba". wala akong iiwan, meron lang babalikan. Kung meron mang iba sa ginawa ko, yun ay ang Bobong Pinoy. Kung may magsasabi man sa hinaharap na: "Sana nagpatawa ka na lang!" Yun ay opinyong handa kong tanggapin. Marami ang kaya at pwedeng gumawa ng mga isinusulat ko ngayon para sa mga mambabasa, pero ang gusto kong isulat at gawin para sa sarili, walang pwedeng tumupad kundi ako. Inumpisahan ko ang dialogue sa ikatlong libro para ipakilala sa mambabasa ang fiction. Umatras pa 'ko ng bahagya sa ikaapat para mas maging kumportable sila dito. Sa mga susunod pa, pwede na siguro ako magtangka ng maikling kwento o nobela. Tulad ng pagsusulat ko, ayoko rin kasi malimitahan ang pagbabasa ng mga tao sa iisang klase ng libro..."

"Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka."

"hikayAtin m0 LahAt ng kakilala m0 na mAgkaro0n kahit isA man lang paboritong libro sa bu0ng buhay nilA..dahil walA ng mas nakakaawa pa sa mga ta0ng literado per0 hindi nagbabAsa "

"kung paniniwalaan namin kayo na hindi naglaro ng tubig kahit na basa ang damit n'yo, kayo ang niloloko namin; hindi kayo ang nakapanloloko."

"dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung 'di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit.sobrang luri. kung alam lang 'yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela."

"Para san ba ang cellphone na may camera?Kung kailangan sa buhay un, dapat matagal na kong patay."


-MACARTHUR



"hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan"

"Pare, isa kang totoong tao at walang halong kasinungalingan.
In English, FACT you, pare. Totoo ka. In English, FACT you!"


-Paboritong Libro ni Hudas

"bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali, alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?

"hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka."

Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"

"ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko"

"hindi dahil sa hindi mo naiintindihan ang isang bagay ay kasinungalingan na ito. at hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan."

"Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili."

"Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa'yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?"

"Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba't-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan..."

"Sabi nila, sa kahit ano raw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa’yo – ang sarili mo. Tama sila. Isinuplong ako ng sarili ko. Kaya siguro namigay ng konsyensya ang Diyos, alam niyang hindi sa lahat ng oras e gumagana ang utak ng tao."

"Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras."

"Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa."

"Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala."

hopeless romantic me.. :(

i am now listening to some of my favorite love songs.. and then after watching "Coffee Prince" ( a korean show i just finished watching a while ago *see my previous post).. i then realized how boring my life is right now.. well i have this principle that i don't need to have a "special someone" to make my life happy.. but.. then.. i think.. maybe i am wrong.. but then.. i think again.. i could get it through.. then.. i read a friend's blog.. confessing on something about how she gave up on love.. wow.. it was deep as i could see it.. and then i thought.. she was certainly happy at one point.. and was sad in the end.. well.. i remembered how many failed relationships did i have from the past.. but still i never stop loving and wanting to love someone.. how weird of me.. i like hurting myself.. playing with my feelings.. well.. i am now going to share about the guys that made significant things in my life.. but since i was very open with names in my past posts, i will give my readers (if i have) the thrill of just putting "code names" in case they really happen to know that person..
My 1st Boyfriend... well.. it was my first year in high school (everybody knows about this).. and i didn't really have a lot of crushes.. but one guy caught my attention.. let's just call him the "Math Guy" since he always tutored me in math.. he was smart, kinda good looking, he is good in sports and is nice too.. well.. originally he didn't like me as much as i like him.. he liked someone else.. a friend of mine..but he ended courting me.. i didn't know what to say and how to say that i liked him too.. since it was my first time.. and then i told him i will tell my answer on the night of the socialization (since every quarter we have this socialization thing).. i asked some signs.. like if he wears a blue shirt on that night and if it wouldn't rain since it has been raining for days.. and when that night came.. i saw him.. looking good in a blue gray polo and it didn't rain.. so i said i wanted to be his girlfriend too.. but i wasn't a good girlfriend at all.. we never talk that much and barely communicate at all.. i don't want to go deep into details on how we broke up.. it was just one day.. everything was gone.. and we agreed to be just friends.. at least it ended well..
the 2nd guy was still from my 1st year in high school.. but it was almost summer.. let's call him "Mr. Poo Poo".. the story behind that name is just so petty so i won't bother to put it anymore.. i thought we would be together forever.. everything about us was just so wonderful.. we even planned the date of our wedding.. how cheesy could we get.. even the names of our future children.. but it had to end since my mom didn't like him at all.. i was so mad at him for not fighting for me.. and we never became friends for a year.. but after that.. i just wanted to loose all the grudge and anger and forgave him for what he did.. now he has his girlfriend (which is someone i know).. and i think he is now happy.. at that point.. that is what i call my experience on "puppy love"
the third guy was from my 2nd year in high school.. let's call him "Kap".. he's a good friend of my cousin.. he originally likes my best friend.. but ends up liking me.. i liked him too.. so when he courted me i answered him on his birthday.. i was so open about the relationship and i didn't think that we would be having problems.. but.. i ended up liking someone else during our relationship.. and i became unfaithful to "Kap" for one moment.. well, let's just call this other guy, "Ass" since he is just pain in the ass for sometime.. well, this guy is a friend of ours too.. he has is own girlfriend but we were really not friends with his girl.. and there was a time that "Kap" was away and we had a fight.. and "Ass" was there to comfort me.. well he's been a friend since then.. "Ass" also comforted me during my break up with "Math guy" and "Mr. Poo Poo".. he was always there for me.. and comforted me during my rough times.. and i didn't expect to like him very much.. we hanged out a lot.. and i was developing strong feelings for this ass.. so because i was feeling guilty about "Kap", i broke up with him and then he knew what that ass and i have done.. but secrets were revealed when we broke up.. it seems that "Kap" only courted me because i liked him first and his friends told him that it would be impossible for me to say "no".. i hated him because of that.. so after we broke up he tried to come back and court me again.. but i said no.. he asked me a couple of times but i just didn't have feelings for him anymore.. so he's gone.. we're friends.. and he's happy with his new girl..
about "Ass".. i thought everything about us was so real.. my family likes him.. he said he loves me.. he said he would give up everything for me.. and he would never leave me.. true enough one day.. he just left.. without even saying a word.. just left and never came back.. i was full of hope.. i was ready to face anything.. but he never came back.. it took me two years to recover.. at this point, i could say i had my first love.. and it took him two years to explain.. then he told me he felt coward.. and he didn't have the courage to face me again.. he had so many problems and all that bullshit.. but i can't do anything.. but to accept his explanation and his apology.. now we are friends.. and i got to know him better..
well.. it took me so long to like another person strongly.. it took me two years.. since i was really over "Ass" right now i thought i could like someone else.. well i was starting to like this someone.. let's call him, "Mr. PDA".. we made out.. heavy petting.. i mean.. i thought i was just doing it for fun.. but i ended up starting to like him.. but one day, he just ignored me and told me that since we are going our separate ways anyway, (we are going to different colleges), it's better not to talk about what happened and forget about it.. he didn't want to make more memories with me so that he won't be hurt that much.. all i can say is it's all bullshit.. i was starting to like him then and then he told me to move on.. what's there to move on to?! urgh! i hated him for a while.. but then i just let it pass and maybe he would get what he deserves someday..
and about the last guy.. hmm... i guess, i've written enough about him.. (*read my previous posts, "am i in love or just loving part 1 and part 2")..
*** bottom line of everything is.. i am now single.. and some guys tell me (like Mr. Poo Poo), that a gir like me should not be single for long.. i ask why.. they tell me i am just the "girlfriend material".. is there such thing?
well.. there are other guys who wants to court me.. but i think having a relationship right now is not really my priority.. but it really would be nice having a special someone.. it's not that i am tired of loving.. it's just i am tired of looking for it.. when opportunity comes i think about it first before i grab it.. i had to make sure that i really like that person.. and maybe.. i have standards.. but sometimes, what are standards for if you love someone already? standards can't really take me back from loving.. i don't even care.. as long as i am happy.. well.. maybe because i am so hopeless romantic, i would love to have a guy who would sing a song for me over the phone, hug me so tight for no reason at all, tell me he loves me more when i tell him that i love him, always want to hold my hand.. maybe i am just watching too much romantic films and shows.. but who doesn't want a guy like that..? i am never asking for a perfect guy.. i also want him to get mad, get jealous, and argue with me.. so that i could have some reasons to tease him and make him warm.. i hate guys who are perfect.. i just want to have a healthy and not so boring relationship.. i hate promises.. that's why i don't promise.. i do things.. and i keep my word.. i have learned so much from my past relationships that everytime i have a new one i want it to work.. but maybe right now is just not the time for it.. i don't have plans on committing myself right now.. i just want to enjoy what a single life will bring me.. single life doesn't really rock.. it sucks most of the time.. but we just have to deal with the things we have for right now.. maybe i don't care how cheesy a guy could be.. as long as he's the one for me.. (didn't that just rhyme?).. anyway.. it's fun to have someone on valentine's day.. but it's not valentine's day everyday.. it's just that.. i just want to explore on what life has to offer me.. and when i love or i like a guy.. it happens only once.. once we're through.. we're done.. i don't really believe in "love is lovelier the second time around" and i hate waiting.. it sucks! it's just a pain in the ass.. bottom line.. i would never be together with the guys i have mentioned above ever again.. 'coz when it's over.. it's totally over.. no turning back.. move on and find someone else.. :)

i'm so sad that it is over!!! :(

Ric (a friend of mine) was really an angel in disguise when he treated me with this DVD.. it is entitled "Coffee Prince" and it is a love story "koreanovela".. i have already heard about it on t.v. and some of my friends have watched it already.. so i wanted to see for myself what the story is really about.. like Hana Kimi, it is a story of a girl who poses as a guy just to have a job and ending up liking her manager.. well here's a brief plot on the story..

With a foolish mother and the need to look after her younger sister, “pretty boy” Go Eun Chan has to give up her feminine image to help support the family with multiple jobs. Because of her previous experience with Tae Kwon Do, Eun Chan has quite the bold and opinionated personality. Choi Han Kyul seems to know women well and thinks of himself as a great guy.

After accidentally being mistaken for a man by Han Kyul’s older brother, Choi Han Seong, she starts working at Coffee Prince, and falls in love with the hot-tempered owner Choi Han Kyul. Han Kyul hires Eun Chan to avoid an arranged marrage by pretending to be romantically linked to a “gay” Eun Chan. But Choi Han Kyul slowly starts to develop feelings for her, but still doesn’t believe in love. Eun Chan also starts to have feelings for Han Kyul but can’t confess that she’s a woman, Han Kyul, continues thinking that the agonized Go Eun Chan is a man. Choi Han Kyul thinks he’s experiencing feelings of homosexuality towards her, and gets heartsick. This side of him was drawn in a risky but fun way.

The part when he discovers that Go Eun Chan is a woman is shown in an undemanding way, and the story doesn’t concentrate on just these two people, but also on the other people who frequent Coffee Prince. These people are shown one by one in a natural way, and since the story isn’t just about romance but about the natural conflicts of all the characters.

** i love the story and i love the characters! i didn't even stop laughing or crying while i was watching the series.. no wonder it is a big hit in Korea.. well.. here are some of my favorite scenes.. where i cried the most..

>> in this scene Han Kyul, was at first holding back his feelings for Eun Chan.. because he thougth that she was a guy.. but he can't resist Eun Chan and ran back to the Cafe to tell her that no matter what he is a man or an alien, he would still love him.. isn't that sweet?! i cried in this scene.. huhu...

>> in this scene, Han Kyul was having some family problems so he invited Eun Chan to go to the beach to have some time off.. this was the time when he then confirmed that he had feeling for her.. but still is confused because at that time he still doesn't know that she is a girl..

>> i love this scene too!! this was the time that Han Kyul already knew she was a girl.. but i refuse to talk about how 'coz it was a sad part.. anyway, this was the time that Eun Chan wanted to become a "Barista" someone who is expert in making coffee and was given an opportunity to study abroad.. she didn't want to go since she would be leaving Han Kyul behind but Han Kyul said that it was the best for her and he will wait after she finish her studies.. ahw!! that's such a sweet thing! i cried again in this scene..

>> whoa! i was really shocked in this part.. it was days before Eun Chan would be leaving and Han Kyul really feels different when she's around.. (you know.. guys stuff).. and Eun Chan thought that since they wouldn't be seeing each other for a long time, they had to do it.. so they did it! :)

** i cried when i finished watching it.. i am so sad that it is over.. but i love this scene and i am so glad i found a video of it.. it was Han Kyul singing to Eun Chan over the phone.. it was just the sweetest thing.. ( i wish someone would do something like that to me)..

there's no such thing as having NO CHOICE

i hate it every time people say that i have to do these things because i have no choice..
people think that there are things that we have to do because we certainly have no choice but to do it even if it is against our will.. but think twice.. i have lived a life that i have to do things even it is against my will because i have no choice.. think again.. I HAVE A CHOICE.. WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE.. and in every situation.. hard or easy, we all have a choice to make..
>>in riding on our way to the place we have to go to.. most of us commute.. we ride the bus, jeep, or taxi.. when the traffic doesn't move.. we have no choice but to wait until it moves.. even if we know we are late.. we have no choice but to sit and wait.. and most of the time we complain on how unorganized the traffic in the country is.. but.. we have a choice.. if we just choose to not just sit there and do something.. we could.. if the traffic doesn't move.. why don't we start walking? if we are now running late, we'll just make sure that the very next day we should be early.. we'll just have to face the day and do something for it to somehow make the day right.. but we don't do that.. instead of doing something.. we complain.. we open our mouths and blame the world for being so unfair.. that's the problem with humanity.. we don't do something.. we wait for something to happen.. we don't realize that whenever we think that we have No Choice.. the problem gets worst.. and we think that we have no choice but to let it happen.. but.. we do have a choice..
>>it irritates me when people tell me what i should do.. deal with these things because i have no choice.. it's like the same for other people.. i have a friend who live with the family of her aunt.. and her aunt has children and grandchildren living with her too.. my friend didn't have a choice but to live there even though she really felt sad... well, although they are her family, she gets the least of everything.. food, supplies and even maid services.. they live a luxurious life and she lives a life like she's not one of them.. they tell her to do things like try to put water into their glasses.. wash her own clothes.. which at first she understood why.. it wasn't her home.. and she didn't have a choice since she has nowhere to go to.. she wasn't happy.. but she never did have a choice.. and she had to deal with that for almost a year.. she couldn't wait to get out.. she was asked to do things for the grandchildren of her aunt and for her cousins too.. it's like she owes everything she has to them and she has to serve them.. and it irritates me that some people abuse the fact that other people didn't have a choice but to do some things they don't want to do.. maybe out of poverty like my friend here.. (i don't know if i am still making sense here).. because of poverty people do things they don't want to do.. like engaging in illegal acts like prostitution.. women (or sometimes men) who engage in this kind of business do this for the good of their family.. for their children to go to school and to have food on their tables.. and because life is really hard nowadays.. they think it is the easiest way to get some money.. it may be the easiest way.. they don't need to be a college graduate or even a high school graduate.. all they need is the guts to do it.. they may lose their dignity and their pride.. but it doesn't even matter to them.. see? see how the mentality of having no choice do to poor people.. they do it not for fun.. but because they had no choice.. they had to do it and had to deal with it if they want a life for their loved ones.. and they call that a life? it irritates me so much.. i feel pity for them.. i even saw a documentary on the television.. some women have sex in exchange for not money.. but for one bundle of fish or two kilos of rice.. how terrible! it's the worst thing i have heard.. one kilo of fish and 2 kilos of rice doesn't cost more than 200 pesos.. and they sell their dignity and pride just for food that costs less than 200 pesos! and they do it just to have food.. they forget to have respect for themselves and have integrity and dignity just for a small amount of food that could satisfy their stomachs for only one day.. but what they don't know is.. they have a choice.. they could choose a much more decent job.. maybe they would tell me it's much more easier to say.. because i am not experiencing the life they have.. wrong! i don't have to experience their life.. we all have a time in our life that we really suffered a lot.. but we have a choice to wish our lives well.. we could find a job that is more decent and easier to accept.. it's just that we all want to do things the easy way.. easy money.. easy life for our loved ones.. i am beginning to think that this is because of our attitude on being so lazy.. we want to earn money in what we think the easy way.. but the easiest way is the hardest way.. we all have a choice to choose what is right.. because in the end we all get what we really deserve.. i am not saying that prostitutes deserve not to be respected.. they are ought to be respected in some way.. but in general.. we are all like them.. wants to get things the easy way that is why we give up pride and dignity.. let others hurt us and step on us.. we don't have to deal with it! we have a choice to stop it! we can do something else.. and that would be a start on making a change..
>>in dealing with things that has all been said and done... we think that we have no choice but to deal with what just happened and forget about the past and move on.. well.. true.. we could never change the past.. what we can change is the present.. for what we o in the present affects what could happen in the future.. we have a choice to change ourselves and look forward to something different in the future..
*** i guess that's not all what i have to say bout having no choice.. there are a lot of things i have to say.. but i just can't put everything in place right now because it is just so cold tonight... and before i end this entry.. let me just say this.. if you think you don't have a choice.. think again.. you do have a choice.. i was miserable thinking i have to do things just because i don't have a choice.. we all have a choice.. a choice to be happy.. it's just that sometimes we don't make the right choices in life.. so what? so what if we suck up sometimes? we sometimes to commit a mistake to realize what we really want (well.. not all the time).. don't be afraid to fail and don't ever worry in choosing the wrong choices in life.. we sometimes undergo that kind of situation and experience pain just because we got the wrong choice.. but that is why we were not created perfect.. so that we can learn.. it's true that every after a storm or a rain (whatever) there is a rainbow.. and every cloud has a silver lining.. and the sun will always shine in the morning.. or whatever optimistic quotes you do believe in.. it's not wrong to make the wrong choices sometimes.. but we try to make choices to make us happy.. well.. it is a very complicated topic to talk about.. we could change.. we have a choice to change and never give up.. we should not judge a person by what he or she was.. but on what he or she has become.. and it is a good choice in life.. :) CHANGE.. it's not bad.. it is mostly good :) (i think i am not making any sense).. anyway.. we all have a choice.. period! and we should never think that we don't have one.. because life is just full of different choices.. we just have to choose what is right for us.. :)

what makes me cry.. :(

what makes a person cry? there are many things.. others claim that they are a "cry baby".. but me? i don't know.. other would think that crying is just the bravest thing to do.. but for me.. why cry when all you have to do is stand up and fight.. well i am still a "normal" person.. so i also cry.. well.. here are the things that makes me cry..

1. anything that is about Family..
- i don't know.. but anything that is related to Family i always cry.. or get teary-eyed.. well i think it's just normal

2. a broken heart
- anybody cries for a broken heart.. and mostly it is because of lost love.. being taken for granted by someone you really care about.. it really is a pain.. and most of the times i cry myself to sleep whenever my heart is broken.. there was a time i fell in love with someone who was committed to someone else.. at that time, i was committed too.. but because i loved him so much more than anybody, i broke some rules and broke someone's heart.. i risked anything i had to risk.. thinking he would do the same for me.. but one day... one painful day.. he just left.. and never came back.. since that day, every night.. i would cry watching romantic series on the t.v... and cry while listening to love songs.. for almost a year i have been suffering.. but.. it was just after 2 years that we've seen each other again.. and told me everything.. it was dreadful.. the experience was dreadful.. everything after that became dreadful.. but i didn't have a choice but to move on..

3. losing a friend
- friends are the most important people in my life aside from loved ones.. and when i lose one special friend.. a best friend.. i wouldn't know what to do.. i hate losing such treasures..

4. hurting someone else..
- breaking up would be one good example of this.. there's just no easy way to break somebody's heart.. when i break up there are just two possible reasons.. (1) it's because something's absolutely wrong or (2) i just have to do it.. it would be the hardest thing i'll ever have to do.. another example is when you don't mean to hurt a loved one.. it is a pain too.. though you didn't mean to do it.. but still it hurts..

5. feeling tired and almost wants to give up
- i feel this when i am tired doing work in school or in some place.. there are also times that i become emotionally tired.. tired of trying to understand trying to do the right things.. etc..

well these are just the major things that makes me cry.. well it's ok to cry for a while.. but we all have to remember to fight for what we want and what we deserve.. not just dwell on the things that we didn't have..

Addicted to Hana Kimi

"Hanazakarino Kimitachie", or "Hana Kimi" for short, is adapted from a Japanese manga of the same name. Helmed by Ella of S.H.E, together with Wu Zun and Jiro from popular boyband Fahrenheit, this show garnered the highest ratings during its broadcast period in Taiwan.

What It Is About

The story is mainly about a girl, Lu Ruixi (the girl who looks like guy in the middle of the picture), who flew all the way from the USA to Taiwan, to enrol into the same school as her crush, Zuo Yi Quan (the guy in black on, a high jumper. The reason for her admiration is that one day on TV, after seeing his determination in high jump events, it also led to her determination to strive and lose weight. So her goal in returning to Taiwan was to watch him high jump live in action.

But the main problem is that Quan is enrolled in an all-boys school, thus Ruixi is forced to hide her female identity, and dress up as a boy. As luck would have it, Ruixi ended up being Quan's new roommate.

With such a perfect arrangement, Ruixi goes all out to befriend Quan, only to be rebuffed by him, and to her dismay, she discovered that he has given up high jumping.

Quan discovered Ruixi was a girl from the very first episode, when he
accidentally touched her chest, while trying to help her when she fainted. She was also unable to hide her female identity from the school doctor Mei Tian. He could sense she was a female as he is gay!

Both Quan and the school doctor decided to help Ruixi keep her secret, though Ruixi is unaware that Quan also knows her secret. Due to this, Quan also came to her aid on several occasions when Ruixi's identity was almost exposed. Through all this, Quan and Ruixi became closer friends, and it was also due to Ruixi's encouragement that Quan decided to return to high jumping.

There were also several funny moments involving Xiu Yi (the guy on the right wearing blue), one of Ruixi's best friends in school, when he thought he was becoming gay as he was attracted to Ruixi, whom he thought was a boy!

What i think about it:

Hanakimi is such a fun watch! i love it! there would never be a moment that you will not laugh while watching this.. it has such a nice and cute story.. and talks about youg love and attraction.. well here are some things about the main Characters in the Story...

Jiro Wang Dong Cheng

He is currently a member of the boy bandFahrenheit, and is widely known as the male lead in the Taiwanese idol drama KO One and it sequel The X-Family, as Ah Jin in It Started With a Kiss and its sequel, and Jin Xiu Yi in the live-action Taiwanese drama, Hana-Kimi









Ella Chen finished high school but did not attend university due to her love and passion for singing. On August 8, 2000, HIM International Music held a 'Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest' in search of new artists to sign under their label. When she travelled with her brother to Taipei for a holiday, Ella Chen discovered that her older sister registered her for a singing competition. Intimidated by the long line of contestants and worried of facing ridicule for her tomboy personality, Chen almost gave up before the first round. Her older sister, however, convinced her to stay. Chen's deep voice caught the label's attention, and helped propel her through to the final round. Her alto voice is noted for its strong and beautiful nature.^[1]


Born Goh Kiat Chun (traditional Chinese: 吳吉尊; simplified Chinese: 吴吉尊; pinyin: wú jíjùn) in Brunei on October 10, 1979^[1], Wu studied at the Chung Hwa Middle School in Bandar Seri Begawan. He later graduated from the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Wu also played basketball for Brunei's national team.^{[citation needed]} Prior to joining Fahrenheit, he was a model for Yi Lin (伊林) in Taiwan and for Diva Models in Singapore. Wu speaks — with varying degrees of fluency — Hokkien, English, Malay, Mandarin, and Cantonese.^{[citation needed]} He manages a family-owned gym club, Fitness Zone in Brunei. As of Aug 2007, Wu is appointed as the chairman of newly opened Palm Garden Hotel and its neighbouring multi-story Fitness Zone centre in Brunei.
