A Personal Note to Kim Jaejoong Who Surpassed an Ajumma’s Expectations!! Episode 21

Unbelievable, Jaejoong. You have just proven yourself through portraying the role of Kim Kyung Tak in such a professional way. A wealth of critics and people who have always equated your handsome looks with lack of depth in your character can no longer do so. You are a gem ablaze with many developing facets. You can no longer be labeled as just a singer, a songwriter, or an actor because there is so much more potential in you that I can see being developed over time. Keep breathing; keep growing; and some day the entire world will see a sensitive, wonderful, talented and influential person who truly loves to give of himself to help others. This is what this Ajumma can see in store for you. I pray that you will desire this for yourself..

I come from a nurturer’s perspective–wanting the best for you and your brothers that you can achieve in this life. I have lived many things that you have yet to see or experience, so I know how much you can and will grow. Jaejoong, I have always been intrigued by your acting even when you were younger, but the depth to which you have taken the character of Kim Kyung Tak is an indicator of the man still in the making, with so much more to come.

I know that you are open to learning from those who have been in the business so much longer than yourself. Keep an open mind and a caring heart and you will see doors open to you that no man can shut.  I have cried with you many times, and I want you to understand how much tears are a medicine. Tears are the beginning of healing–indicators that the emotions are being released. This is healthy and manly. Some would criticise the man who cries, yet I say that he is healthier and more in touch with his emotions than the stalwart, keep-the-stiff-upper-lip role model that young boys are taught to emulate.

Now that you are finishing this role and working on “Here Comes Jackal’, I only hope that you will be offered many more challenging roles that will stimulate you to do your very best. You have a remarkable work ethic, but remember to take time to rest, sleep, and play to heal your body, soul, and spirit. Always Keep The Faith, Jaejoong!!  <3  Momma Cha

120731 Confusion Reigns in Dr. Jin Land Episodes 19 and 20

          Well, Mr. Kim Kyung Tak aka Kim Jaejoong–what’s going down? Confusion for you as well as the rest of us is the operative [no pun intended] phrase here. As you are functioning as a double-agent, you seem to be reserving certain information for one side or the other. Your father is on to you now as well as Young Hwi. You answered Young Hwi’s query a bit too blithely. Consequently, they aren’t too sure whether to believe what you say, and you’re not sure of them either. The problem is–we can’t determine your true intentions, either.  Personally, I would consider you a babo to desert your friends, because I am convinced that the Left State Minister hasn’t a clue as to what love really is–and your friends do.

At present, you have continually carried out your father’s evil orders–albeit somewhat reluctantly, I’ll give you that.  There has to come a time and a place when you must make a firm decision to either help to usher in a new age for Chosun, admittedly at the expense of your own family’s status and rule, or cling to the bloody, conniving ways of the men in your family who up front admit to using you, despite your ‘inferiority’, to commit henious crimes in the name of justice. 

What I do not want to see is your failure to obtain anything of merit for yourself or for your friends due to lack of fortitude and lack of commitment  to the common good. How do you sleep at night after butchering innocent people? People have a right to be free and to make decisions for themselves, and that arguably can mean to choose, in this case, the traditional ways, or choose to begin ushering in a new age.

I have grown to love you as a character, Kim Kyung Tak, and I want so much for you. Recognition, legitimacy, respect, and more. I am hoping for a good woman to love you, share your life, and bear children for you. I want the same for Dr. Jin. Will this be possible writers? I’m not sure on this one. What I am sure of is an interesting, people dying thither and yon, heart-wrenching end to this historical drama. Great job, Everyone.

TVXQ Changmin Wants To Get Married As Soon As He Can?

TVXQ Changmin Wants To Get Married As Soon As He Can?

On July 19, TVXQ Changmin’s question about marriage made a headline in Hong Kong’s Oriental Daily Newspaper.

TVXQ Changmin replied to the question about marriage in a Hong Kong Newspaper. One of his fans asked, “When will you get married?” in which Changmin answered, “If I say I don’t want to get married, I am lying. I honestly want to get married as soon as possible and have two or three children.” Many of his sans were disheartened to hear about his wish to marry soon.

Currently, TVXQ has been topping the Japan Oricon Single Charts with over 152,000 copies sold in their first week of their Japan single, Android.

They also broke the world record for most single sales for a foreign group in Japan with 3,104,000 copies.

120723 Time Slip Dr. Jin: Insight into The Persecution of Catholics in Korean History and The Emergence of The Modern Christian Movement

        Insight into The Persecution of Catholics in Korean History and The Emergence of The Modern Christian Movement

There is reference in Time Slip Dr. Jin to the persecution of Catholics during the time of the Joseon Dynasty Period. We can see this being acted out on the screen as we watch this intriquing drama unfold. The reference cannot be over-looked because it is based on historical fact. Even the Priest, Father Simeon-Francois Beneux, who is being helped by Young Rae and Dr.Jin in Episode 18, is a real historical character. He and many other Catholics were martyred in 1866 during one of the toughest crack-downs on the Catholic believers in the history of Korea.

 ‘Time Slip Dr.Jin” is not a light drama. It is full of thought-provoking situations that are based in part upon the Joseon Dynasty’s political existence and character. I believe that the writer[s] have something to say, and this is an excellent forum for their voice[s]. As I am not of Korean descent, but only an admirer of the strength and resolve of the Korean people, I am going to rely upon sources who are hopefully more knowledgeable about what really occurred in Korea that ushered in the true influence of Catholicism and Protestantism. The following information was retrieved from the world-wide web on July 23, 2012. I am only providing links here as the articles are quite extensive. I learned a vast amount by reading these articles. If you are interested in the history behind Time Slip Dr. Jin, and how it relates to today, then enjoy your reading.

120715 Dr. Jin…Jaejoong Displays Excellent Acting Skills..But Oh So Sad

       Dr Jin  Extended 

         Four episodes ago I wrote about what I considered to be a bright ray of hope in the midst of this painful drama.  Kim Kyung Tak had supposedly lost his best friend Hong Young Hwi through death, but had gained an opportunity to once again gather Hong Young Rae to his side. I was happy because I tend to favor the underdog at all times, and Kim Kyung Tak definitely fits this description. Even though an add-on character, I was hoping to see more positive things happening for Kim Kyung Tak. Alas, this has not come about. So far this character, being portrayed remarkably well by our own Kim Jaejoong, has yet to be given an alternative to life besides being his Father’s lackey. It is obvious that his Father’s only interest in Kim Kyung Tak is to use his youth and vulnerability to commit crimes.

Kim Kyung Tak truly loves Hong Young Rae. He has loved her since childhood. and has continued to try to woo and wed her and to help her family despite opposition from his Father. Young Rae does not love Kyung Tak in this sad story of parallel universes, time travel, and Dr Jin.

Dr. Jin is a rival for Young Rae’s heart, and Kyung Tak; despite posturing and threatening, has only managed to drive her closer and closer to Dr. Jin.

Young Rae has reneged on marrying Kyung Tak twice already, and because of her stubborness has almost managed to kill herself through refusal to obtain medical help for breast cancer. Dr Jin finally convinces her to allow him to do surgery and saves the day. However, the dilemma between Young Rae and Kyung Tak continues with no relief in sight.

Between shooting the Prince and almost killing himself–Kim Kyung Tak has backed himself into a tight corner that only by giving in to the only shelter he knows–his Father’s dregs of twisted love, does he feel as if he has any worth.

Kung Tak discovers that his beloved childhood friend, Hong Young Hwi is alive. If the Left Prime Minister finds this fact out–the ship may as well sink for Kyung Tak. All I ask is for the writers to grant this character some mercy and to not persist in turning a tender-hearted young man who started this drama with some dignity into someone who has to beg to be loved. No one deserves what they have laid on this character. Fighting Kim Kyung Tak. See you next time. <3

[TRANS] 120628 Compilation of JYJ The Day’s Commentary

[TRANS] 120628 Compilation of JYJ The Day’s Commentary

Junsu: Yuchun seldom sleeps alone whenever they go abroad. He would ask either a member of his manager to sleep with him.

——–

There are a lot of eating scenes in The Day, and Junsu whined “Why are there so many eating scenes…I’m hungry.”

At the scene of Yuchun eating gamjatang (potato stew), Junsu said in English “My favorite Korean food”. XD

——–

Junsu, “I want my members to show me support too. I have already showed my support for you guys with chicken and buffet.”

Jaejung, “We will give you support, but that means no more birthday present for you.”

Junsu, “All right, I’ll be waiting.”

Yuchun, “A luxurious(expensive) support.”

Jaejung, “Then you’ll pay the bill for it.”

——–

Upon watching a scene with Yuhwan, Jae and Junsu said to Yuchun, “It’s good to be young. Yuhwan is better looking and younger than you.”

——–

Yuchun said that he would sit on the floor with a glass of red wine and listen to LPs when he’s upset, but recently he changed drinks.

Junsu said, “Soju bombs?”

——–

Junsu said that Yuchun looked like a ghost from Ju On when he’s washing his face. Yuchun made the sound that the ghost made in the movie XD

——–

Jaejung, “My parents are hurrying me to get married.”

Yusoo, “Hurry get married! If you don’t get married, what will happen to us?! No such thing as younger brothers getting married first.”

Jaejung, “Get married straight away without dating?”

Yuchun, “Meet, get to know her, date for 3 hours then get married.”

Yusoo, “Hyung has to cook everyday even after you’re married.”

Jaejung, “Of course I will, but my wife has to cook too.”

Yusoo, “It’ll be the best if your wife cooks at home, but when you’re out playing(like barbeques), the man should cook.”

——–

Jaejung asked them when they feel the happiest.

Junsu, “When I’m singing and dancing on stage.”

Yuchun’s answer was also “When I’m on the stage.”

When Jaejung was asked the same question, he said, “When I am with the both of you.”

Yuchun, “I knew you would say that!”

Jae, “Let’s try it again. When do you feel the happiest?”

JS, “When I’m on the stage w the members, 3 of us singing and dancing together.”

Yuchun said something along those lines, and Jaejung said, “When I’m on the stage, sharing excitement with the fans.”

——–

Jaejung, “I don’t like giving my niece/nephew new year’s money. It’s supposed to be for the child but it’s taken away by the mother.”

——–

Jae commented that he likes the fact that Yuchun’s bedroom and studio are one.

Yuchun, “The biggest plus point is that I can write it down immediately if I have inspiration from the moment I wake up.”

——–

Yuchun, “Junsu is the god of kissing. His kissing skills have improved (after Elisabeth).”

Junsu, “It’s not kiss, it’s god of bobo!”

Yuchun, “It’s almost the same thing, both are about lips touching.”

Jaejung, “Did you have to practice first? Who did you practice kissing with?” Junsu, “I imagined it.”

(Alternatively, Junsu could have said “It’s not a kissing scene, it’s a bobo scene!”)

[About the “kissing” tweet, I’m not sure if the OP made a mistake about “Kiss신” which can mean “Kiss Scene” and also “God of Kiss”. Take it with a pinch of salt.]

——-

Jaejung, “This is the second time I’ve had a birthday party outside. The first time was when I was in junior high. I was really happy.”

——-

Jaesu to Yuchun, “Both of you have really good genes. Your mom is so lucky, how could she give birth to two kids who are both so good looking?”

——

At the scene of Yuchun’s bathroom, Junsu said, “Why is it so clean? It became cleaner. It wasn’t so clean in the past.

Yuchun, “It has always been clean.”

Jaejung, “Yes, it has always been clean because Yuchun hardly uses it.”

——–

Junsu hugged his mother after performing on the drums. Jaejung said, “Junsu is as tall as his mother.” Junsu, “My mum is 173cm tall…”

———-

At a fansign scene, YC said that he doesn’t have many male fans. Su said, “You don’t have male fans? Jaejung hyung and I have quite a few.”

(Junsu said it in a very tactful way)

———-

Junsu and Jae mocked Yuchun for having very little eyebrows at the scene where he was at home. Yuchun said it’s because he was at home, meaning that he wanted it to seem natural. XD

Yuchun and Jae laughed at Junsu for having chubby cheeks at the scene where he just woke up. Junsu said his face bloats up in the morning.

———-

Junsu said that he would not like or dislike a girl based on whether she can cook or not, but it would be a plus point if she can.

And that after getting married, he thinks it’s better if the girl does the household chores… XD

———–

Jaejung and Yuchun were really tickled by Junsu wearing a wig (old man wig) when he was rehearsing for Tears of Heaven the musical.

———–

Yuchun was really surprised when Junsu took off the wig immediately after that. “You can just take it off like that? Wow, incredible…”

———–

Junsu and Jae complained that the lift to Yuchun’s house is really slow and that they would rather walk up the stairs because it’s faster.

———–

After watching the scene of Junsu’s family gathering, Yuchun commented that the feeling of a home with both parents is different.

————

Jaejung said that Jji is now under his sister’s care.

————

Yuchun has been addicted to Gag concert lately.

————

At a scene where they showed Yuchun’s mother, Jaejung and Junsu both commented that she looks really happy and is really lucky that she has two such good kids.

————

Junsu and Jaejung were mocking Yuchun at a scene where he was acting cute towards the camera before closing the door. Jaejung did the same thing in another scene and Yuchun said, “You did the same thing and yet you mock me!”

————

Junsu and Jaejung said that Yuhwan has changed a lot. Yuchun said that he is now filming and has met a lot of new people who influenced him. He looked proud when he was talking about Yuhwan.

The Joy and Pain of Gardening…by Chaelwest

The Joy and Pain of Gardening

There is this crazy urge that I get each Spring when the first crocuses peek out of bed, and the daffodils put on their bonnets–it is called, in my vernacular, time to dig. Whether it is digging into the black dirt with my toes, or grabbing a shovel and digging holes, or using a tiller to turn the soil over for planting–It truly doesn’t matter because the urge is simply to dig-dig-dig.

Along with this urge comes a need to plant baby flowers and vegetables in the hope of watching them grow into fruit producers and bloomers of the garden variety. Before this can be accomplished, however, there are many steps toward this luxurious goal. No pain no gain.

As I am no longer in the ‘bloom’ of youth, each year it becomes harder and harder to perform the gardening tasks necessary to say that I have had a wonderful, productive season.  I used to be able to kneel and pat those little suckers right into place with no aching aftereffects, but now Mr. Arthur shows up almost immediately after I have patted the last little plant and put them to bed. Ibuprofen to the rescue!!! I guess if I weren”t so driven I would simply let the garden do the natural thing. It would overgrow itself quickly and what a tangled mess I would have.

Since it is human to want to control everything and everybody around you, lest there be any surprises, I struggle year after year to reach the same gardening goals of  twenty years ago. I want little pansies to smile at me while giant sunflowers tower over the fence and protect the borders. I long to see Jack command his pulpit while begonias beguile me with their constant beauty and variety. The shrubs and bushes offer summer glamour while fruit trees, maples, and oak offer bountiful shade.

I am a sensory person. I enjoy textures and myriad colors around me. Nothing is more sensory than touching the fleshy petal of a Day Lily or an Iris. The beauty that is the rose family is absolutely breathtaking–domestic or wild. The variety of colors  is mind-boggling–giving me a glimpse into the rainbows of Heaven. Will there be gardens there to plant and explore?

There is great joy in watching the tomatoes grow and ripen on the vine. Cucumber’s yellow flowers team with the golden orange of the melon flowers. Such a lovely scene. The greens of the foliage form a wonderful contrast to the bursts of color that speak of fruit to come.

My garden always makes me think of the responsibility of parenting. The little seeds that we are given to water and nourish grow quickly. If we give them good food then we will yield a plenteous harvest with strong seed toward the next generation. Will it be easy? No. Just as the garden in my yard takes careful tending in order to grow–so do my children. My difficulty is that I am like ‘The Old Lady Who lived In A Shoe’– I have so many children in my heart that I don’t know what to do. At home and abroad, they take careful tending each day. An earnest prayer here and some encouragement there–a shake of the head when I see them making some of the same mistakes that I made in my own youth; panic when I see that they are going to follow their own chosen path making wise or unwise choices along the journey and disregarding my loving advice. 

I will continue to tend my gardens and the mixed bed of joy and sorrow will be mine to lie upon. Prayerfully, hopefully, the flowers of my heart will someday bloom with beauty and wisdom. I will then hold them close and kiss the dew from their faces.
