"Feeling Blue" by Joe D' Mango

There are times in our lives when we are swept over by raging emotions, times when we are overwhelmed by sadness, overcome by misery, times when we feel that we are loved only for the worth others could get from us and not for who really are. It is natural to feel this way.

Sometimes we all need to be alone, to feel blue, to feel lonely, to listen to a song and cry. Then we ask ourselves, why does the song have to end? Why do we have to cry when love is taken away from us? Why does it have to hurt when we let go of someone we love?

In a relationship we treasure, the hardest thing is to do is saying goodbye and setting someone free. For every last embrace, a part of us dies. Every tear drop that falls washes away our hope. Then, we are left with nothing but pain and bitter memories because we have lost love but never knew how and will probably never know why.

We try to get away, but every move we make somehow has its way of reminding us of our past all over again. Every turn of our head and every blink of an eye remind us of love, lost in eternity, and it makes us wonder how one person can make us feel so empty, so alone, and so desolate.

Every song, no matter how beautiful it is, will have to end on it’s last note. Like every day has its night. All that has started will have to end on its own time. It is in inevitability that we cannot restrain something that we cannot control, and just a fact that we have to accept and live up with.

Let us remember that our lives does not have to end where our heartaches begin. Somewhere, someone will come along and sing us his song of love. Someday, someone will fill our lives with joy and happiness. Somehow, we will find love again, and it will wipe away out tears and bring us the promise of a new life, a new hope and a beautiful beginning.

"Tragedy of Love" by Joe D' Mango

They say that only time can heal the wounds of a broken heart. That time makes it easier to accept the loss of the people we love. It is a chain that all of us go through – falling in love, getting hurt and vowing not to love again, promising not to love again, and becoming miserable all our lives. It isn’t easy getting up on our feet after a crippling fall, but there is just no other way but to stand up and move on.

Nobody wants to become unhappy all his life. All of us know how love can bring magic into our lives. Have you ever realized how good it felt, waking up in the morning, knowing that somewhere out there, there’s a person who’s also thinking of you and feels exactly the way you do? Doesn’t it feel good looking forward to being with that warm sparkling glow in each of us?

Love brings us on the top of the world that we can conquer just about any obstacle that may come along our way. It is a great feeling love is. There’s probably nothing else in this world that can compare to this. There may be many of us who feel that love has passed us by, and finding someone we can share our lives with seems to be such a remote possibility. We watch stranger go by as time swiftly drifts away from us.

We may be in control of our lives but we feel somewhat helpless in out relationships. There is nothing permanent in this world, and not even those we cherish will be with us forever. There is no guarantee that comes with loving. It is always a risk getting involved with someone. But it is a risk that we have to take if we want to find real happiness; for there is no gain without pain. There is no permanence without commitment, and there is no lasting love without constant sacrifice.

The tragedy of love is in getting hurt. The tragedy of getting hurt is not wanting to love again, and the tragedy of not wanting love again is in being alone all of our lives. If it is what we want to be, then we could just stay in our shell and be miserably forgotten. But if it is love we choose, then there’s a promise of a new life, the joy in being able to share that life with someone, and the hope of finding something beautiful and keeping it forever.

"Echoes of Our Hearts" by Joe D' Mango

Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times that we love so much that we lose ourselves in our own emotions. More often than not, we wonder why there are love that grows and love that grows cold. We would start to search for answers and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end we find ourselves where we started. We cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been. Silent, mysterious, and deeply profound.

Many of us believe that love is forever. That love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly have looked at love as need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it lasts and then freely open our hearts when it's time to say goodbye.

When we fall in love with someone, we don't want that feeling to end for it is everything that we are and everything we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But if it doesn't, then we should never let our lives be taken by it for life should not end where heartaches begin. There's always a reason why we have to move on. When we have to say goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever, let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart for love will have to set its wings free and find a place where it belongs. We may have lost it but then again, when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever then we'll know that it has never left us for the good we have become because of love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy not because we have lost love but because for once in our lives that feeling lived in our hearts and made us happy.

"The Dance of Life" by Joe D' Mango

There were two hearts that met in a dance. That moment was magical. There was a sweet song playing, there was harmony…and soon…love in the air. They fell in love and started building castles I their dreams and promised forever with all certainty. But, somewhere, in the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance, something went wrong, but they can never do anything. They were just drifting away, their fortress falling apart. There were so many questions…but no one had an answer.

Then the music stopped…and there was silence…

When we truly loved someone, we give our best and let that person see the pureness of our intention. But sometimes, that person makes us cry and hurts us for the wrong reason. That someone must have loved us, but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt.

Now, we are faced with the seemingly impossible task of forgetting. We have burdened ourselves long enough, but we still can’t get out of this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love…the more painful letting go will become…

Sometimes, we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all…for he will always be there…no matter how we drive him away…It isn’t his presence that make this difficult. It is our stubbornness to accept our destiny that aligns forgetting next to impossible. We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts, there is still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow, we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts. These thoughts give us hope… but also breed the seeds of loneliness and despair.

The only way to forget is to accept…and the only way to move on is to look ahead…and let the footprints of the past…be blown by the wind of time…only then can our hearts find a partner in the dance of life…and hopefully…never get lost again…

Girls' Generation (SNSD): how I fell in love with them....

The 9 angels --- Girls' Generation!!!

It’s been a long time since I opened and used my blog… whew! Well actually, I’ve been busy most of the time… really! ^_^ Ahmmmm… the last time I wrote, it was about my favorite K-pop idol, Kim Heechul from Super Junior. But right now, I’ll be talking about another K-pop group…

It’s really exciting to know that there are so many idol groups in Korea, but only a few are recognized worldwide. One of them is my favorite—Super Junior! But there’s actually another group I was a bit curious about, and after doing some research, you can’t help but like and love them... I mean, you’ll really SUPER love them. I’m talking about the girl group So Nyuh Shi Dae, better known as Girls’ Generation.

Let me tell you the story of how I got to know them… it’s a bit tragic actually T_T… Remember how I told you I met Super Junior? That was back in October 2010, right? Since then, I never really gave myself a chance to like or admire other K-pop groups. I was totally preoccupied with Super Junior (SuJu) most of the time, to the point where other K-pop groups didn’t even exist for me… ^_^

Anyway, it’s actually because of SuJu that I got to know this girl group, Girls’ Generation (SNSD). Honestly, I didn’t like them at all back then. Why??? Well, it’s because of that award thing where they won the 25th Golden Disk Award over SuJu… Hayzzz! I was so frustrated and upset that whenever I heard anything related to SNSD, I’d totally freak out. I’m really sorry, girls... =( I was just being stupid back then…

Hmmm… back to the story. After that, I got even more annoyed with other K-pop idols—especially SNSD. But one day, just out of curiosity, I searched them online just to see what was so great about them. At first, I didn’t read any articles because I wasn’t really interested—I just looked at their pictures and wallpapers. And my first reaction was: “Hayzz, just another ordinary group. Nothing special at all…”

And then I saw YoonA.

I recognized her from some of Super Junior’s music videos. Honestly, she was really pretty, and I found Seohyun kind of attractive too. But since I didn’t like their group back then and wanted to stay loyal to SuJu, I just pushed those feelings aside and focused more on SuJu… Hahahahaha ^_^

It’s funny how things turned out. Just this June 2011, I was watching some Super Junior videos on YouTube when I saw YoonA’s face in another video. Out of curiosity, I clicked on it. It was a show called “Girls Go to School.” While watching, I didn’t even realize I was starting to enjoy it. So I went back and watched it from the first episode to the last. Then I found another show called “Factory Girl.” I binge-watched both shows in one day!

That’s when I realized—they’re not bad at all. They’re just a group of girls chasing their dreams. From that moment on, I really started admiring them.

I started searching more about them online—their history, the members, their songs, backgrounds, everything. Then I looked up more of their shows on YouTube and found “Hello Baby” and “Horror Movie Factory” (those shows are super funny!). After three days of nonstop research, I totally fell in love with them—as in SUPER in love!

The member who really captured me completely (heart, body, and soul) was Tiffany. She’s just so lovely and sweet. And then there’s Taeyeon—her voice is no joke, like listening to an angel. Hayzzzz! I don’t even know how to express myself right now… I’m just completely crazy about them. When I look back on how I first judged them, I feel so stupid and pathetic… T_T

Now that you’ve heard my story, I just want you to know that these girls are really special to me now. Just like how I wanted to share my love for Super Junior with you, I want you to know and understand these lovely girls too—not just know them, but really get to know them.

I know there are a lot of anti-fans out there who hate these nine girls, but I hope you try to be open-minded. I’ve read some of the hate posts online and it honestly breaks my heart—the lies, the hate, the nonsense. I know I used to dislike them too, but I never talked trash about them.

Meeting and getting to know Girls’ Generation is one of the best things that’s ever happened in my life—just like how it was when I discovered Kim Heechul and Super Junior.

If you ask me to choose between the two groups… honestly, I can’t. I wouldn’t feel complete if one of them was missing. Hahahaha!

i love it when he does his "thing"...

he is more than a woman...

i like it when he color his hair with white..

in 2nd place of the latest 2010 top 100 handsome men in Asia..

he's prettier when he wears a ponytail....

I barely knew this guy until October 5, 2010. I had heard of Super Junior before, but I didn’t really like them… at first. Mostly because I couldn’t understand what they were singing, and honestly, they seemed kinda gay to me back then.

But when I actually started listening to their songs and watching some of their music videos—damn! They’re cool! They’re hot! They’re a little weird, and it’s all because of Mr. Kim Heechul.

His personality is so strong that I instantly fell for him. Whew! He’s so funny, so weird, and so unpredictable. I love it when he does his “gay thing,” even though I know he’s not gay.

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of their videos and they’re all hilarious. I love their show “Full House” and I love their songs. They’re simple—even if I don’t understand the lyrics, I know the meaning behind them is deep and sincere. ^_^

I don’t really know how to explain this, but I suggest you try watching some of Heechul’s videos on YouTube. I’m pretty sure you’ll end up liking him too. He’s not your typical guy. I know some of you might disagree with me, but seriously, just give it a shot… I can’t fully explain it, but... hmmmmmmmmmmm… just try watching these videos:

Welcome to Blogger ... =) .. You got to know me..

Welcome to Blogger!

First of all, I’m kind of not in the mood to post anything right now, but since I’m new here, I think it’s nice to post something—anything—just to welcome myself (lol, makes sense, right?). 😅

Please bear with my grammar and spelling—I totally know I’m not that good at it... =)))

So basically, I’ve made lots of blog sites before during my college years, but because of my super busy life (of course—I was a very hardworking student, ehem 😜), I had no time to update them. I ended up forgetting my usernames and passwords… all of them. Oh dear, too bad... 😩

But unlike before, now I could literally be online 24/7 if I want to. LOL.

I made this blog to let the WHOLE world know my views, opinions, interests, and likes (yes, with all the “S” 😂), so I can somehow share some of my weird ideas and thoughts about... well, almost everything. Hahaha.

Get to know me…

Hi! I’m LJ. I’m 21 years old, female—but I think I prefer being a lesbian (I think 😅). I do like girls, and I even fall for them…

BUT at the moment, I’m madly in love with this guy—KIM HEECHUL (yep, the one in my background). I heart him so much. 🥹 I honestly don’t even understand myself right now. Hahaha. LOL. Enough of that.

I’m a registered nurse here in the Philippines, currently unemployed. I don’t earn, but I spend a lot. 😂 Hmmmm… what else? Just check my profile to see more of my likes and interests (if you’re interested, haha). 😊

I like cracking jokes—even though most of them are “KORNY.” Hahaha.

Other than that, I really don’t have much else to say for now. ^_^

Thank you for bearing with me!

Stay tuned for more of my random reviews and posts.

Stay healthy and keep smiling! 😊
