God made him 

who had no sin to be sin for us, 

so that in him 

we might become 

the righteousness of God.

-2 Corinthians 5:21

Picture Challenge #3

A picture of the cast from your favorite show: My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho.

Front row: Dae Woong, Miho, Eun Hae In. Back row: Byung-soo, Seo Nyeo.
I can't find a photo with Park Dong Ju so I just pinned him to this happy photo of other cast. =)

I am not a television buff but as often with Korean dramas, I stream online to watch when I have time.  As you would have known, if you've been reading my blog, that I'm a fan of Korean dramas. But I can't put the cast photos of all my favorite dramas since only one picture is allowed. This is what I'll do anyway... I'll list them.

Endless Love I: Autumn In My Heart

Endless Love II: Winter Sonata

Endless Love III: Summer Scent

Endless Love IV: Spring Waltz

Dae Jang Geum

Jumong

Hwang Jini

My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho

Full House

Baker King: Kim Tak Gu

I picked My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho since it's the last drama I watched that I really liked. Okay, okay, I did not watch it on tv but it still counts as tv show since it was aired on tv in Korea.

My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho may have been done in simple drama shoots but the story was weaved carefully that the beginning fits the end and the end fits the beginning. It's such a sweet and innocent tale  with great music always playing in the background--which some of the cast contributed to by performing some songs.

This is a picture challenge but I think I am allowed to add a video anyway. Below is a montage of My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho to its main theme, Fox Rain by Lee Sun Hee.

Oh yeah, today, exactly a year ago was when My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho first aired in Korea. Also, watch out for Alyssa's blog about one of the main characters, Dae Woong. I can't wait to read what you will write Alyssa. Yes, this is a heads-up amidst your busy schedule.

Of Porcupines and Friends

Beware of your friends;

do not trust your brothers.

For every brother is a deceiver,

and every friend is a slanderer.

Friend deceives friend,

and no one speaks the truth.

They have taught their tongues to lie;

they weary themselves with sinning.

You live in the midst of deception;

In their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,"

declares the Lord.

-Jeremiah 9:4-6

How long should you go on trusting a friend if that friend keeps on hurting you? A friend's friend's friend answered, "It's like porcupine. You don't know that it will sting you yet so you go near and try to touch it. Once it stings and you feel the pain, for sure, you aren't going to let it happen again."

Trust is a sacred thing. It doesn't mean you should not trust anymore but rather, practice caution in trusting. In the end, there is no one in this world that we can trust fully. Yes, you can't trust me a lot too. I will fail, you will fail, we all fail. If there is one person whom your whole trust must be anchored, it must be on God alone.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. -Psalm 118:8

God is our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake with their surging.

-Psalm 46:1-3

Take Advantage of the Rain

Rain was constant daily for the past week and so last Sunday when we were hanging around church I decided take some photos of people in the rain. Most of them though are of Jemi. 

Tanya just wanted to stand in the rain with her umbrella. She stood there maybe for some time.

1940s. Didn't really like how it grained.

Then here are my two personal favorites:

Choreographies

Choreography, according to Wikipedia, is the art of designing sequences of movements in which motion, form, or both are specified. 

Though I don't dance, I deeply appreciate dance choreography, particularly that of my favorite group, Super Junior. Ignoring the reasons people presume of girls liking a boy group (e.g. looks and voices), I was particularly drawn by their discipline in learning and executing their choreographies. They're not artists famed for looks but--in my opinion--by their excellent work of art in dancing. I'd say the definition give by Wikipedia aptly describes them or even more. The chief of dancing in the group, EunHyuk, is one of the gag men among them but when it comes to dancing, man, you just don't joke around about it.

Without fail, they got me hooked again in one of their latest dance choreography to their Chinese song Perfection.

They also made a tutorial of their dance but so far, I didn't learn anything from it. Not because it's a bad tutorial... it's simply because I can't dance. ='(

My other favorite dance choreographies of them:

I wonder when I will ever learn how to dance...
