mah bday...

yeah, i know, it's my birthday yesterday and i didn't get a chance to post a birthday entry due to unforseen events, i.e. the fact that it took me until 11:00 pm yesterday to finish my eco his paper. honestly, mas na-feel ko pa na ngayon ang birthday ko kahit na lahat ng greeting ay puro belated...cguro dahil mas hindi ako stressed today. i think the 2 moments that i felt that it's my bday yesterday was from 8pm to 9pm nung kainan na at 11:00-12mn nung natapos na ko sa paper ko...

anyway, how does it feel to be 21 years old? haha, i don't feel like it. like i said, who i am today was not what i envisioned when i was in grade 3, praying that i get old faster. simply put, i don't feel older, despite that im required to wear corporate attire everyday (nagskirt nga ko kanina, nagulat lahat as expected

also became part of the yearbook committee...i don't want to become the EIC kasi pag pangit ung yearbook ako sisisihin, hehe

here's a very informal features essay that i haven't finished since di pa ko nakaconsult wid frends (but i wanna include it here anyway)...

I've always been a fan of Eastern pop culture, not really obsessed about it, but im one of those who give the piratas some business. Anyway, ive always been an anime otaku since i was in grade 2 ata (not the geeky type naman), and for the past 5 years, into mainstream Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (pero konti lang to) culture.

There are always distinct patterns of scenes whenever i watch the romantic drama/comedy series and movies from these countries...from my widespread watching, here are some i have observed (better to enumerate in Tagalog)...of course not all of these scenes are restricted to those of this genre (or origin) alone....

1. Habulin mo ako
Palaging may scene na may moving vehicle with the heroine in it then the hero tries (most of the time unsuccessfully) to catch that moving vehicle...either on foot (mostly) or car...
E.g. MG (Meteor Garden), Lovers in paris

2. Aray....
Scenario: Girl gets sliced in the fingers (usually through paper cuts or by sharp objects)...guy sees it then sucks the blood out of the wound sa finger...
E.g. Stained Glass, My tutor friend, Mars

3. Music...
Laging may element of music, usually videoke, or the guy suddenly astounds the girl by performing a musical piece exceedingly well ...
E.g. Videoke: Little Bride, He is Cool
Guy is musically gifted: Lovers in Paris, Sweet 18, Oh happy days, MG, Dolphin bay (well ung girl ung musically gifted)
Videoke: Full House, Little Bride, He is Cool

4. It's Raining...
Pivotal scenes usually take part under the rain...kung tutuusin, it sets the mood...the rain could serve as the backdrop of a heart-wrenching confession or a declaration of love...
E.g. The Classic (the best rain scene i ever saw!), Dolphin bay (mamatay ako sa kilig sa rain scene dito), Bright Girl (ang sakit sa puso ng rain scene nito) MG, Sweet 18, Summer Scent, Full House....actually halos lahat may part na umuulan

5. Piggy-back
Girl gets either gets drunk, emotionally depleted, sleepy, sprained, then the guy gives her a piggy back ride...the thing itself is not of significance to us but apparently it's synonymous to saying that the guy likes the girl in korea
E.g. Please teach me english, Autumn in my heart, Lovers in paris, stairway to heaven... actually halos lahat ata ng galing korea meron ganun

Anyone care to add? just lemme know...
