A Peek of Ju-Mong

Well, you might have concluded now that Ju-Mong is my most favorite tv series of all time. Ju-Mong is a very long series consisting of 81 episodes. But even if it's that long, it isn't dragging. Everything was just excellent... especially the costumes. Here's a half-minute peek of Ju-Mong, just so you'll have an idea of what it's about.

Ah yes... my siblings and I will watch JuMong later before I go to camp tomorrow. See you on New Year! Have a Happy and Wonderful Year ahead of you!

Jumong--not her Prince

A friend showed me this video sometime ago and I saw it again few days ago. The video doesn't have subtitles but I'll try to explain what it's all about.

Song Il-Gook (the actor for Jumong) & Han Hye-Jin (the actress for So-Seo-No) were at the 'Make A Wish' event with the newly appointed goodwill ambassadors for the city of Seoul. Children were given the chance to give letters to the Korean celebrities present and the celebrities will grant their wishes.

This happened when Ju-Mong was the leading tv series in Korea. The nation's heart has only Ju-Mong as their prince but it seems that in this video, a little girl is immune to the prince's charm.

The video is actually cute and sweet. ^_^ It shows Ju-Mong's affectionate heart for children.

[IN THE VIDEO: It wasn't anything he said that made the girl upset. The little girl just wished for something Song Il-Gook (Jumong) couldn't help her with on the spot (meeting Ayumi, the celebrity she likes) ]

Happy Christmas Everyone!

My family will be leaving in a while to celebrate Christmas with my cousins in Paranaque. I hope that as the world gets busy, never ever forget what Jesus was born for. He was born to die a humiliating and undeserved death. Doesn't sound a very Merry Christmas then, eh?

His death is something He doesn't have to do but He chose to do so because He loves us. Remember. Remember His death on the day of His birth.

Happy Christmas everyone! :)

History and Jumong

My siblings and I have been watching Jumong from a DVD lent to us a by a friend. Needless to say, we really enjoy it. I really enjoy and learn from it. Though I love the whole series, I have some favorite episodes and those are 16-23.

It's a mix of adventure, history, political & war tactics, loyalty, friendship and romance. One thing I liked about Jumong is that unlike other dramas, the romance between the characters does not overshadow the rest of the story. Rather, it uses the romance between characters to compliment other parts. Today we ended in the part where Jumong gave the jade ring to So-Seo-No. Jumong only spoke a line and the rest of the scene was very well acted. The response in Soseono's eyes said words better left unspoken but felt. At that point, me and my sister were just going nuts! Haha.

I highly recommend this series to anybody who loves history. The series alone is educational enough.

When God Made You

My sister drains her phone battery almost every night. Sometimes she asks me to drain it. So, I play all songs in her phone which is so much like an iPod or mp3 because it's designed as music phone. While browsing through songs a month ago there's this song that I've never heard yet so I decided that I must hear it. I pressed "play" in whenGodmadeyou.

Needless to say, I really liked the song. Its contemporary style made me think that it's an OST from a Disney Princess movies. I just thought I'd post this here since it's been playing on my mind at random times... like now.

(Please turn off the Christmas song in my Nimrodel widget if you wish to listen to When God Made You.)

When God Made You - Newsong

WHEN GOD MADE YOU
Newsong/Natalie Grant

It's always been a mystery to me,
How two hearts can come together,
And love can last forever.
But now that I have found you I believe,
That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.
So gone are all my questions about why,
And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

.::CHORUS::.

Oh I wonder what God was thinking, when he created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because he made all my dreams come true.
When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.


I promise that wherever you may go, wherever life may lead you,
With all my heart I'll be there too.
And from this moment on I want you to know,
I'll let nothing come between us, and I will love the ones you love.
Now gone are all my questions about why, about why
And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

(.::CHORUS::.)

He made the sun He made the moon,
To harmonize a perfect tune,
One can't do without the other they just have to be together.
And that is how I know its true,
You're for me and I'm for you and my world
Just can't be right without you in my life

(.::CHORUS::.)

He must have heard every prayer I've been praying
I've been praying, He must've knew everything I would need

When God made you, He must've been thinking about me.

NOTE: I may have liked this song very much but this does NOT mean that I'm contemplating the thought of marriage!!! Well, just a reminder for those who know me and who I know very well that will jump at any opportunity to tease me in revenge of my terrible teasings. ^_^

A Christmas Reminder

A Christmas Reminder

Christmas is the most celebrated season of the year. Merriment and joyous signs are everywhere. Houses glow with Christmas lights. Shopping malls decorated with Christmas trees and beautiful garlands are full of people shopping for gifts. Mothers bake and prepare for Christmas dinner. Fathers get their extra bonuses from work. Children make their wish list. Aunts and uncles send their gifts over. The post office becomes busy with cards to be sent. Students pack up and leave their colleges to spend Christmas holiday at home. People hold all kinds of Christmas parties and gift-giving to charities.

Just what really is Christmas that everybody is so busy with it?

I once heard on the radio that Christmas is about caring and sharing to others. Giving to poor and being good. It's all about love the dj concluded. But, just what kind of love is he talking about?

The video I'm sharing below is a wonderful modern parable and a great reminder of the True Love that should matter on hearts this Christmas. Please don't walk away from this site without having viewed the video. It's only around six minutes and those minutes you will spend on watching will be more than worth it.

Happy Christmas from Ladies-In-Training! Cherish our Father's great love in our hearts this Christmas and in all seasons to come!
