bury me in this dress

I’ve been a really useless member of society for more than a week now. My depression is really severe and I haven’t felt this awful for years. I’ve been seeing a new psychiatrist. Her rates are really expensive and its putting a toll on my finances. But what can I do? I need to get better. I am fighting but the enemy has regained its strength.

I haven’t been going to work. I’m lucky because my mother understands my situation. Still, I feel very guilty for being a burden to her and our family business. Before I spew even more ugly perceptions I have about myself and turn this into an emo blog post, change topic.

My favorite form of escapism/”hold on sanity ” are Japanese dramas (doramas). I just finished watching Yankee-kun to Megane-chan and I liked it. Just a couple of minutes ago I watched “5 Minutes Before That” which is a series of short Japanese dramas. Two of them touched me that’s why I’m posting this blog. If you have a few minutes to spare, please watch them.

It Happened One Night

Last Fight

Thank god for Viikii.net. I’d probably just be sulking all day if I didn’t have my doramas to help me feel better.

Korean F4

I only found the ones on youtube but I prefer to watch the avi. They’re available on clubbox but I don’t have an account there. Meh. This will do for now.

I found out from Mads that the trailer for the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango is out. I can’t wait to watch this!

I learned from my friend Mads that Lee Eon is dead. He died last night from a motorcycle accident when he crashed into a guardrail. I loved his character in Coffee Prince and this news came as a big shocker. If there’s going to be a Coffee Prince 2, it just won’t be the same without him. Rest in peace, Lee Eon. You will be missed.

Ack! I wish they’d use that jet to fly the cast here.

Last weekend, the highly anticipated “Hana Yori Dango Final” opened on 400 screens. In its first five days, it was watched by approximately 1.35 million people, grossing more than 1.6 billion yen. This puts it roughly on par with last year’s “HERO,” which went on to take in a total of 8 billion yen.

As a way of showing appreciation for the fans, starring actress Mao Inoue and F4 (Jun Matsumoto, Shun Oguri, Shota Matsuda, Tsuyoshi Abe) will be flying to various cities in a private jet next weekend. The plane is a Boeing 737-500 (which can normally seat about 130 passengers). They will visit Sapporo, Nagoya, and Fukuoka on July 12, then Osaka and Tokyo on July 13. The total trip amounts to 4,660 kilometers.

Chartering a jet for a publicity campaign is said to have never been done before for a Japanese film.

Posted this to my new dorama blog

Now that Philippine television is airing Ako Si Kim Samsoon and My Girl, 2 series based on popular kdramas, are we going to see better original Philippine drama series? According to PEP, Ako Si Kim Samsoon is getting high ratings. I hope the networks follow this trend and apply this to our own series. I’ve never seen the originals of the 2 series but I’m really curious about the Kim Samsoon adaptation.

I wish I’m in Japan watching the screening of Hana Yori Dango Final. I haven’t read any reviews about it but even if fans end up hating it, I’ll watch the movie. I wonder when it will be available on DVD and subbed!

kekekeke I can’t wait to watch the movie. And Jun Matsumoto has a shirtless scene! *drools* I’ll totally do him if I have a chance

I watched HYD 1 and 2 again and the series made me bawl again. The ending of HYD 2 is so cheesy but that’s alright with me.

My goodness! Hiro Mizushima will appear in another dorama.

This drama is based on Yuu Watase‘s shojo manga “Zettai Kareshi” (also known as “Absolute Boyfriend”), starring Mocomichi Hayami and Saki Aibu. In this version, Aibu plays a temp OL in search of a boyfriend, and she ends up in possession of a “robot” (Hayami) who is programmed to be the perfect boyfriend. However, this creates a love triangle with a distinguished young man at Aibu’s company (Hiro Mizushima) who has feelings for her.

I was looking at the dorama’s official site but got weirded out by the “robot”. Aibu looks creepy in this drama. Regardless, I hope a fansub group will release this. I want more Hiro goodness!

UPDATE

SARS Fansubs is releasing Zettai Kareshi!!! Episode 1 is out now.

I was re-watching Long Vacation and after finishing ep.1 I found out that I couldn’t find the CD of episode 2 and 3. Waaaah! I miss Long Vacation. It’s my favorite dorama evar!!! I’m in a Long Vacation mode at the moment. Feeling old, unloved, and depressed. LV is the perfect dorama to watch but now I can’t. I don’t know where the CD is and everything is a mess. I need to organize my dorama collection again, I know. I’m so bad at this.

UPDATE:

I found it! Hihihi.
