OST ENDLESS LOVE

      My posting this time is still related with K-drama endless love. I love the drama, besides soundtracks of the drama. The soundtrack touches me especially the song called Gi Do and Reason by Jung Ilyung. Reason tells about one's feelings after she is abandoned by the man that she loves. She seems to have lost heart and her world is gone dark. Gi Do tells about someone feelings toward her beloved ones; although, she can't have the person. She will be very happy when she is seeing their loved ones happy. Because for her there is nothing important to her than him, she will continue to always beside him forever and see him happy.

ENDLESS LOVE


    Actually I am confused what I have to write in this blog for this week, but I decided to write about my favorite K-drama. This drama always makes my tears run down even though I've watched this drama more than 15 times. The tittle of this drama is endless love. This drama is stared by Song Hye Kyo as Yun/Choi Eun Suh, Song Seun Hun as Yun Joon Suh, Won Bin as Han Tae Shuk, and Han Chae Young as Yun/Choi Shin Ae. In the first episode, Yun Joon Suh and Yun Eun Suh grew up as siblings, but in fact Eun Suh was from different family because Eun Suh and Shin Ae mixed up at the hospital where they were born. The fact was revealed when Eun Suh was involved in car accident and it was discovered that her blood type different from her parents. Shin Ae and Eun Suh returned to their rightful family. Soon after, the Yoon family left for the States and Eun Suh was left living in sordid condition with her real family in Korea. Years after, Joon Suh return to Korea with the purpose to find his former sister, Eun Suh. Accidentally Joon Suh met Eun Suh with the assistance of Han Tae Shuk who he is unaware that Joon Suh and Eun Suh are not the real sibling. Joon Suh and Eun Suh fell in love, but their decision to establish love and marriage was opposed the whole family because Eun Suh will be adopted by Yoon family. Joon Suh and Eun Suh preserve their love and no one can separate them even the death fetched. 

    This Drama is sad ending. In the last episode Eun Suh died because of leukemia disease and Joon Suh died because of a car accident. -.-

BANGKOK; GRAND PALACE

   The city that I want to visit someday is Bangkok. After I have read an article about Bangkok, I increasingly want to visit and get around the town; moreover, I want to visit The Grand Palace. The spectacular Grand Palace is undoubtedly the city's most famous landmark. It was built in 1782 and has become the home of the Thai Kings. It is a complex of grand old buildings with beautiful architecture and intricate details. The Grand Palace houses the sacred Emerald Buddha. Therefore, every visitor should dress properly. Shoulders and legs must be covered to be allowed entry. The site is so large, and it takes approximately two hours to look around and take pictures.

MUSEUM WAYANG

     This week I want to tell about Museum Wayang that I have seen it on Elshinta tv. Museum Wayang is located not far from Museum Sejarah Jakarta or Museum Fatahillah. The building, built by VOC in 1640, used to be an abiding church. Several changes happened along the way until in 1974, the government of Jakarta at that time decided to make this building a Wayang Museum. The ticket price is only 2,000 rupiah for an adult or, 1,000 rupiah for a college student, and 600 for a student. This museum unveil the bunch of wayang kulit or leather puppets from different countries. Besides displaying wayang and puppets, Museum Wayang holds wayang golek, wayang kulit Betawi, and wayang Purwa performances every month.

Unfortunately, my brother who the only can drove car was sick. Finally, all plans had been planned had to be canceled. Instead my mother told me to go to my grandma's house. In my grandma's house, I was just busy doing the assignments which gave from the lecturers. But, there was a wisdom behind all this because if I still went to Bandung, I was not necessarily to do all my assignments.

Ai

       I have read a novel that I bought an over year ago but I just had time to read it. The title of this novel is Ai. I was attracted to this novel because on cover of this novel filled Japanese accents and took background stories in Japan. This novel told about a friendship between Ai, Sei, and Shin that characterized a love triangle. At the first, Ai and Sei were riend, they were friend since childhood. Unexpectedly, Sei had a feeling more than a friend to Ai but he preferred to hide it. Until at last, they met Shin and they were become friend with Shin. Feeling of love arose between Shin and Ai, from here the conflict in this novel began. At the end of story, Shin died of an accident and it made Ai and Sei were devastated due to loss of friend and someone they love most. Sei did not take the chance of Shin's death to approach Ay because he realize that he would not be possible to use this way to get Ai. He would make Ai loves him with his own. Sei trusted that love would never be tired of waiting.
