Hana Kimi or To The Beautiful You?

I’ve watched the 2007 Japanese version of Hana Kimi like 3 years ago and this time they brought out To The Beautiful You, Korean version remake of Hana Kimi. Since I watched To The Beautiful You, I watched Hana Kimi again and of course people will compare right? So, here’s my OWN PERSONAL OPINION of both dramas so if you’re not agree, then I can’t help it.

HANA KIMI

Undoubtedly, I love Hana Kimi so much more! It may not advance or ‘secanggih’ TTBY (I mean a bigger dorm, hp canggih, set mahal blah blah blah) but Hana Kimi gave me more impact compare to TTBY. I love all the bromance-y and friendship-y in Hana Kimi. It has a lot of element, love, friendship, humor, moral values and so much more in a hilarious way. It’s sort of crazy, yes, and doesn’t make sense too but that’s what makes it funny. They fight like all the time (in a funny way of course), but hurriedly make up again and unite with each other when their friends got into trouble. They have a lot of event and festivals, and almost every event that they do looks happy and crazy. But even if it looks crazy, it has their own meaning and moral values that they wanted to imply by doing all that. All 3 dorm sure wanted victory, but at the end it doesn’t matter who win or lose.

AND I AM LOVING NAKATSU OMG *SQUEAL*. He is so darn funny with his ‘im-not-homo’ dance and “I-think-I-may-be-gay-no-I-can’t-but-imma-chase-after-him-anyway” LOLOLOLOL. Ikuta Toma portrayal of Nakatsu is amazing. He brings a lot of laugh and so do the other boys in the dorms. ^_^ And I also love this because Hiro Mizushima (Nanba-senpai) is in this drama and I adore him!!

Watching their friendship and all that gives you a heartwarming feeling, and it feels like you wanted to be in high school again. Of course, you can’t really feel all that in TTBY, as TTBY focusing more on their glamorous life and love line, no school event, festival and so on.  Sulli’s acting is kinda okay, but her character sucks. She’s too dumb, and focuses too much at Tae Joon. While Ashiya and Sano both love and took care of Nakatsu when he got problems.  And Nakatsu was EPIC I tell you. Eun Gyeol is awesome in his own way but still can’t beat Nakatsu epicness. Trust me, you CANNOT watch Hana Kimi without laughing even once, except you’re not fond of Japanese drama, didn’t like the actor, you love Korean drama so much, or simply because you’re an heartless creature.

TO THE BEAUTIFUL YOU

As you know, this is the Korean version remake of Hana Kimi. I won’t say it is the worst cos I’ve watched some movie that much worse than this. But, honestly speaking it sucks and not really up to my expectation. I don’t really like the meter of seriousness it gives me giving that the fact this is adaptation from a manga. It’s kinda confusing and Minho is not a good actor to begin with. I don’t really like his expression. Okay okay, I won’t blame him for his expression, but what the heck with the script? I’ve watch a lot of drama and the crappy one won’t satisfied me anymore. The script is pretty much confusing.

The most obvious example is the scene where they are at the beach. Minho supposedly didn’t know yet that Jae Hee is a girl, but he acted like he already knows everything. Block her from water splash on the road, giving her a cloth to cover her bare shoulder, worry about her when the pervert uncle touch her, and save her from being rape by that perv. I mean, a normal guy won’t even care about all that in front of another GUY friend, let alone thinking that he’s gonna be rape by some other man. It doesn’t make sense at all.

Compare to TTBY, in Hana Kimi, Sano acted normal when Ashiya came, which is what a normal guy suppose to act in front of the same sex friend. He doesn’t hate Ashiya without a solid reason, he just acted a lil bit cold like he acted in front of anybody else. Even when he knows Ashiya is a girl, it’s not obviously shown. He acted like a good friend, and help Ashiya cover her identity without being so obvious.  Besides that, even he knew Nakatsu like Ashiya, he didn’t hate Nakatsu, and still care for his friend.

And for me, Goo Jae Hee reason to enroll into all boys high school doesn’t really strong IMHO. It’s more like a stalker for me. Idolize someone and chase him at his school. At least Hana Kimi came up with quite a ‘make sense’ reason, she’s feeling guilty because Sano stopped high jump because of his injury while saving her from thugs.

A lot of things are missing from Hana Kimi, for e.x:

1. The competition between 3 dorm. And where the hell is Oscar??

2. Heartwarming friendship and bromance.

3. Humour.

4. The guy who read aura.

5. More, more and more.

Actually, there’s a lot to argue between both of the drama but to list all that will take a lot of time so this is what I can write out for now. It doesn’t matter what I said, you have to watch it to understand what I mean about those two drama. Well, both dramas have its own storyline but again, I love Hana Kimi. So much that I can even laugh out loud after watching it again and again. But then, it depends on your own preference.

I am Thankful.

Stumble upon this quote which I think is the most impactful quote/poem for me. I will not say too much, as I know you guys will understand what this poem is all about. Whatever happened, always thankful for so much things you got in life. 

I am thankful : 

For the wife 

Who says it's hot dogs tonight, 

Because she is home with me, 

And not out with someone else. 

For the husband 

Who is on the sofa 

Being a couch potato, 

Because he is home with me 

And not out at the bars. 

For the teenager 

Who is complaining about doing dishes 

Because it means she is at home, 

Not on the streets. 

For the taxes i pay 

Because it means 

I am employed. 

For the mess to clean after a party 

Because it means i have 

Been surrounded by friends. 

For the clothes that fit a little too snug 

Because it means 

I have enough to eat. 

For my shadow that watches me work 

Because it means 

I am out in the sunshine 

For a lawn that needs mowing,

Windows that need cleaning, 

And gutters that need fixing 

Because it means i have a home. 

For all the complaining 

I hear about the government 

Because it means 

We have freedom of speech.. 

For the parking spot 

I find at the far end of the parking lot 

Because it means i am capable of walking 

And i have been blessed with transportation. 

For my huge heating bill 

Because it means 

I am warm. 

For the lady behind me in church 

Who sings off key because it means 

I can hear. 

For the pile of laundry and ironing 

Because it means 

I have clothes to wear. 

For weariness and aching muscles 

At the end of the day 

Because it means i have been 

Capable of working hard. 

For the alarm that goes off 

In the early morning hours 

Because it means i am alive.

Rindu.

Lama tak update blog. Update pon tulis B.M je ha mlm2 buta ni. Actually i was reading sarah's and fifi's blog, since i miss my friends so much already. Baru je balik umah seminggu ko, dh rindu2. LOLZ!
Aku malas nk hapdet bukan hape, internet sememangnya baru je dapat dlm rumah ni, tu pon guna berukben yang maha lembap. Gila kau nak online siang2 memang kirim salam. Malam2 buto ni lah yg mak gagah jugak hapdet ni. Terharu tak?LOL.

Lately, the stress is more focus toward job hunting. Mak oi byk beno songeh employee ni, sume nak experience. Dah tu kami yg fresh graduate ni nak campak mana? And to make it worst, masa nk dekat2 konvo, lecturer sume dok tanya job ko ape skrg? Tak ke mati nk menjawabnya? Takkan nk jawab tgh keje kt kedai baju cik semah kot, memang mintak penampar la kan. Macam la dorg nak ko jawab cmtuh kan. Dorg nk career but they have to understand, job hunting is not that easy.

Tunggu RA pon mcm xde berita so better xpayah harap sangat. Haruslah cari keje part time mana2 dulu, so bila dh ade saving sikit baru blh nk pindah Penang ke, cari a better job. Well, thats my plan setakat ni lah.
I guess I will seeking part time job dekat2 sini after my sis engagement. And talking about that, trust me, its kinda annoying. Dah la my sis xkeje, sume brg nk beli perabis duit parent aku. Baju hantaran pon nk suh mak aku beli. Ko tu jantan ada kete dok kt pekan pegi la cari sendirik. Mesti ke nk heret family aku tunggu lama2 semata2 nk beli baju engko? Dah la mendesak, org suh tunggu keje xnak, bila xcukup bajet bising. Celaka sungguh. Nasib baik ko lg tua dr aku, kalau tak mungkin lah jugak dh kena sound setepek. Or mungkin tak, sebab aku balik kot yg kena marah nanti.
Hah malas lah nk cakap byk, kang org kata aku dengki pulak.

Banyak lagi nk membebel sebenonye, tp dh ngantok le pulak. Dh le full moon, mcm2 bunyi plak ader...
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~

As I Say Goodbye.

In a few hours, I'll be leaving USM for good and I'm sure most of my friends are already at their home with their beloved family. There's no word can describe my feeling right now. This is the end of my journey in USM and the new journey for the real life. I have to find my own path in life, whether I can be a successful people or vice versa. Parting with USM, the place where I grown up to a mature lady, is sad enough, let alone the fact that I have to part with all my dearest friends here. We fight, laugh, eat, yell, cry, scream, giggling and etc together in this whole 3 years. I wish I have few more years here but separation is something avoidable for everybody. I resisted to think that this is the end. I know we still can meet again some other time. But maybe my friends in Sabah or Sarawak will be a lil bit hard to meet, since it's so far.

This is a place where I grown up, where I share zillions stories with my friends, a place where I know a lot of new friends, the place where I gain a lot of experience that can never be found in other places. Its not possible to list all that but USM and Penang will always be my second home, now and forever. I'll come back again. ;) 

To all my dearest friends, thank you for all the memories together, thank you for the laugh and cry. Thank you for all the kindness and warm. I know I can't survive if you guys are not here. You guys are my treasure that cannot be replace by anyone. We might fought sometime, but we know how much we love each other from the bottom of the heart. Good luck for all the things that you do, and happy job-hunting. Lets keep in touch from time to time, as I say, our friendship and journey will not end here.
Goodbye all, see you again in september~!!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Awesome movie!! Well, at least for me.

Watch this a few days ago and didn't even think I will like it. Actually, this movie is not in our plan to watch, but after wasting time there thinking what to pick, we thought why don't give it a try. Yeah, when I saw the title with the word Abraham Lincoln, I was skeptical about the story. Abraham Lincoln, a prominent figure in history and vampire? What? Are you kidding me? But heck, that's what makes it interesting. You are actually watching another interesting side of Abraham Lincoln. It shows a life of Abraham Lincoln from a child when he saw his mother died because of vampire, seek revenge on the young age and eventually became a president, while hunting vampire at night. Oh no, I don't want to give spoiler. Ok, I'll stop. LOL.

This film received mix reviews, some said good, some said it was so-so. For me, it's awesome! I admit some scenes when he kills the vampires are just a few second flash scene, but still,  it's worth watching as I didn't feel regret spending my money for the ticket. It was not that bad as some people said. I guess it depends on your liking and preference. Personally, I give this film 4 star out of 5.

My Wishlist #1: Shiseido Perfect Foundation Brush

pic taken from http://www.shiseido.com

I've seen a lot of blogger tested out this wonderful brush and I can say I'm quite impressed with the result from the picture they've shown. Yeah, I know I'm still a student and there's no way I can afford to buy one right now. But dreaming is allowed right? ;)

Since I had no review for them, you can just google it or read some of the reviews here:

I Hate Separation

I'll feel like this everytime someone left me. I hate it when someone I already close left me first. Never imagine I will feel so weird when she's gone. Even it is in a short while, we were really happy going out having fun together and share a lot of story with each other. She's so kind and generous to me, to someone that she just met. Maybe cos I don't have a sister, and she acted like one to me.



Looks like all my entries this week are about sadness and gloominess. Well, I have a good reason to be sad. Maybe my PMS influenced it. LOL. Sorry peeps, can't help it. I feel sad and I have to pour it out. Eh, I don't fucking care, this is my blog anyway. Looks like I won't sleep tonight. Still thinking who to invite or where should I go to sleep tonight...


Started to imagine how would I feel on the last day in USM? Surely I'll be crying blood tears.

Disappointed

I failed in my driving test today. Badly. I don't even bother to look at my score and tell my driving instructor. It just too disappointed having that kind of mark. To be honest, it slapped me right on my face. I feel like I'm the worst driver ever on this day. And to my horror, the things that I pray will not happen to me still happened anyway. I got a woman tester, if you know what I mean.

I usually drove Kancil, so it is not a problem for me anymore and I think I could past if we are not using a different fucking car on the test day. The gear is fucking different. Not even close to the Viva I got on QTI test. That woman attitude doesn't help at all, and yes, I feel so panic. I'm not blaming her 100% tho, but still, I just feel so sad. It's even worst to think that you are actually the only one who failed among your friends.



I have no idea how to properly drive a fucking different car that I touch for the first time with a short clutch, different gear and higher seat position. My feet couldn't reach the clutch , brake and accelerator properly even if I adjust the seat. I just feel lost. Oh this is the worst feeling ever.

Nature Republic FTW~!

Okay, my post title is a bit exaggerate, i know lol!
But after u saw the pic, maybe you'll know why I'm grinning like a crazy girl here.

Now, can you feel what I feel bitches?LOL. I got all this several weeks ago during Nature Republic promotion and its much more cheaper compare to the original price. And mind to tell you, although they are under promotional items and we got it for a super cheap price, the quality is not bad at all. I really like the Aeromix foundation and Star Loose Powder among all the thing that we got. Its a shimmer loose powder, but it settles into your skin without leaving your face shimmering like disco ball. You can barely see the shimmer effect. I love all the product that I got here, except certain face powder are too light for my liking.

I also got facial scrub, essence, 3 compact powder, liquid eyeliner, foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick, lipgloss, lipbalm, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, make up base, tailor made formula patches and etc as you can see above. All that haul actually cost around RM600++ at their original price.

Oh yea, can you see that green tube with aloe vera printed ? That is their best seller and my most favourite product too. It feel oh-so-smooth on my skin and I superrrr love it! But I bought it separately because its not under promotional item so, it cost me around RM 32++ i guess. 

Fot those who doesn't familiar with Nature Republic, it is a korean skincare brand and their price range is quite affordable and cheaper compare to other Korean skincare line like Skin Food and The Face Shop. 

Okay, I'm sleepy already, till we meet again. Bye!

Melancholy

Tutorial is cancelled and here I am, writing my piece of mind since I left my blog for a long time already. Its not that I don't have anything to say, in fact I have a lot but I dunno how to express it. When I express it, my feeling will not be in peace anymore. So I tend to laugh over and over again, not for special reason sometimes. Its solely to keep my mind at ease. Since all that problems and saddest thing came into my life without permission, a lot of thing has changed. I almost lost my hope, but then thinking Allah is always there watching for me and hearing my pray, I gathered my strength again, hoping that everything will be okay and go on with my life. I always laugh out loud but deep down inside my heart, who knows other than Allah. Only Allah knows how I feel everytime I go to sleep. Only Allah knows what I've been thinking these day.

I have a lot to say but I only can say it to my Creator. Saying all these thing over and over again only hurts my feeling, like putting the salt into the wound. But then, what can I do?
