FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND

Jan. 19, 2009 (Monday)

Hi every one,

Since Christmas is over, I cleaned and packed all my Christmas decor already. And keep them to my storage room.

And then I have to choose again another decor from my stocks. Upon searching, opening lots of big boxes with dust, looking for this and looking for that, I spotted my old frame and take it out. I want to display it again though it's very old. I bought this frame last 20 years ago, because it's very beautiful not only the scene but the words written on it.

Aside from BYJ this words really, really, really helps me a lot. Every time I read this one, I cry and I really feel the presence of our LORD. And I want to share this with you.

Here read this one, I'm sure you gonna love it too......



Foot Prints In The Sand


One night I have a dream
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the LORD
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one was mine and the others was the LORD's.

When the last scene of my life appeared before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand
and to my surprise, I noticed that many times
along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest
times in my life.

I asked the LORD about it:
"LORD you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way .
But I notice that during the most trouble some times
in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why you left me when
I needed you most."

The LORD said: "My Precious Child, I Love You...
I never left you during your times of trial and suffering.
When you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I was carrying you."

Author Unknown


You know what ever religion you may have, Roman Catholic, Christians, Muslims, Buddhism, etc., and etc.... it doesn't matter. Because what I believe is that we praise only one GOD, it's just that we praise HIM in different ways and traditions.

GOD bless us all and may everything we do be perfect under His guidance.

Happy B-Day My Phanda



FOR MY DEAR DAUGHTER

It seems like only yesterday you was
my little girl, warming hearts,
and filling life with fun.
So very sweet and lovable,
it always brought a smile to watch
you as you'd laugh and
play and run.

It seems to happen over night
the little girl grows up,
and in your place
a lovely woman stands.
It fills the heart with
love and pride
to see all you're become,
to know you holds the future
in your hands.

It seems like only Yesterday
that you were so small
and your life was just beginning,
and now you've grown
into a beautiful
and talented young lady.

You're a daughter
to be very proud of
and happy for,
and you're wished
much love and happiness
as you face many bright tomorrows.

Happy 17th Birthday My Darling
Love..... Mommy *^.^*

BYJ & Kimchi

Kimchi

Kimchi, also spelled gimchi or kimchee, is a traditional Korean fermented dish made of vegetables with varied seasonings, most commonly referring to the spicy baechu variety. Kimchi is a mandatory presence on every Korean table. Koreans store the Kimchi in a buried huge earthenware jars in the ground up to the neck and cover the lids with straw until its needed. The ground maintains a constant temperature of 55 degrees. It's an ancient and honorable practise to refigerate the Kimchi while it ferments. Aside of its great taste, it can make an incredible difference in your health and longevity.

Dear family, annyong hasaeyo.
This is Yang Geun Hwan.

These days, Bae Yong Joon is devoting his energy to the book to introduce Korea.

He personally visits the pla*ces where he plans to introduce,

he would meet and interview Korea’s craftsman for the book.

Other day, he learnt how to make kimchi (kimjang) from a famous kimchi maker, and he even made homemade kimchi himself.

‘Kimjang’ is Korea’s winter tradition to prepare kimchi you eat during winter season.


Bae Yong Joon gave me kimchi that he made himself.

This is just between us, I did not have high expectations about its taste,
but it was really delicious!

I even thought, I want to share it with everyone.


Leny: How I wish I could taste the Kimchi made by "Honey Baeb BYJ". I really envied Mgr. Yang :(

Kimchi recipe:

Engredients:
1 Large Chinese
cabbage
12 cups water
250g sea salt or coarse salt

Stuffing:
1 daikon radish, peeled and cut into thin strips
5 tablespoons Korean chili powder (gochugaru) or to taste
10 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
250ml (1 cup) fish sauce
1 onion, finely grated
1 bunch (100 g/ 3 oz) Chinese chives, cut into lengths

Procedures:
1. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and halve it lengthwise.
Rub a handful of salt between all the leaves. Set aside.
2.Combine all the water and remaining salt in a large pot and stir
until the salt is dissolved. Soak the cabbage in the salt water for
about 6 hours. Drain and briefly rince the cabbage with water,
allowing it to retain some of the salt water.
3. Prepare the stuffing by combining the daikon radish and chili
powder in a large bowl and mixing well. Add all the other
ingredients and stoe until well blended.
4.Separate the leaves of the cabbage halves again and spread
some of the stuffing betweeen each, making sure that all the
leaves are well coated on both sides.
5.Place the stuffed cabbage halves in an airtight container and
allow them to sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours
before serving or storing in the refrigerator. The Kimchi will
keep for 2-3 weeks.

DREAM HIGH - The drama, BYJ & JYP agreed to co-produce




“Keyeast and JYP Entertainment enter into agreement to jointly produce television series in 2009”

- First domestic television series about a performing arts school
- From large-scale auditions to producing, direct participation by Bae Yong Joon and Park Jin Young
- Discovery of new stars plus a new source of revenue. New business model that utilizes the strengths of both parties

In 2009, Bae Yong Joon and Park Jin Young will produce the first Korean drama based on a performing arts school.

The Asian cultural content company Keyeast (www.keyeast.co.kr) officially announced on January 6, 2009 that it has entered into an agreement to produce the television series with the music production and management company JYP Entertainment (www.jype.com).

The television series, which has tentatively been given the title “Dream High,” will show the growth of the school’s students as they share diverse experiences and overcome difficulties and conflicts. This project has attracted much attention in the entertainment world. Viewers are expected to see an entertaining program of singing and dance performances. In addition, people are excited about the prospect of being able to see what actually happens in the Korean entertainment industry.

The largest shareholders of Keyeast and JYP Entertainment, Bae Yong Joon and Park Jin Young respectively, have shown much interest in the project and they will directly participate in the production process. There is much anticipation as to the synergy effects resulting from the combination of two of the most influential stars in and out of Korea.

Bae Yong Joon will participate in the planning, scripting, and producing of the television series, while Park Jin Young will participate in the planning process plus the writing, composing, arranging of music and the vocal and dance training of the young stars. In addition, the parties are in talks, which have been going well, about the possible appearance in the television series by both of them.

Keyeast and JYP Entertainment will establish a limited liability company this month in which both companies will contribute capital and through which the parties will proceed with all matters related to the television series, such as casting, auditions, and production.

There are many reasons behind the excitement for this project. First, Keyeast and JYP Entertainment plan to discover new entertainers, who excel at singing and acting, through large-scale auditions. In addition, the two companies will work together in producing derivative sources of income by means of exploiting other areas of business, including merchandising, music sales, the soundtrack, copyright licenses, and set construction.

A spokesperson for Keyeast stated that “both companies are excited about and have agreed to create content, which is based on the Korean format but which will be popular worldwide, through the combination of the network and know-how of both companies, which are leaders in the entertainer management business and which have experience entering into the US and Japanese markets.” The spokesperson then stated that “through thorough planning regarding the domestic and foreign markets based on the management experience of both companies, we will create content which will have appeal in all parts of the world.”

A spokesperson for JYP Entertainment said that “we are very happy to be able to enter into the video entertainment field, for which we have always had much interest, with a reputable partner, and as an indication of the high level of our interest in this project, Park Jin Young has said that he wants to be personally in charge of the production and directing with respect to the music and choreography of the television series.” The spokesperson then went on to say that “we will devote all of our energies to the television series, which will be one of our key projects in 2009.”

The industry is very excited and curious about how both companies will approach this television show model, which has been utilized in other foreign markets to produce new stars and chart-topping soundtracks.

Keyeast and JYP Entertainment are planning to broadcast “Dream High” in the first half of 2010.

Happy B-Day My Son



Jan. 13, 2009

My first born child is already 23 today. It seems that only yesterday he was just a little boy which I carried with me everyday, anywhere I go.








Now he's already a full grown man. But ........ oooopppsss..... sorry I can't show his face now 'coz he doesn't want to be expose.... hek hek hek
This photo was taken when we went to the beauty salon last December when he decided to cut his hair. Now long hair no more.









To my Son


Today, hope you'll take some time
to reflect on the exceptional son
and man you are...
wise and thoughtful in so many ways,
wonderful in even more.

Today, hope you will feel proud of yourself,
the way you deserve to feel,
and know that others,
are thinking of you with even more pride.

Today, hope you'll look ahead
and see your future shining before you
because a man like you
is sure to see more and more dreams come true
as the years unfold.

wishing you happiness
on your birthday and always.

I love you,..... Mommy

Repost -- Skyperfect TV interview

Jan. 9, 2009

Hi everyone,
I've read this in BYJ's Quilt by Happie Bb
( my thanks to happie bb and cloud nine)

You can see it also in Bb's rambling's blog
and in KOB by Myoce.



"[Trans] Skyperfect TV interview, sankei sports
original in japanese: sankei sports
translated into english: cloudnine / bb's blog


[Trans] Skyperfect TV interview

BYJ Festival, in which Skyperfect TV airs Korean Wave star Bae Yong Joon’s
dramas and movies back to back over the next three months,
has started from 1st January and is now a hot topic.
Its highlights are the interviews with Yon-sama,
that are to be aired on January 10th and February 7th.

Only Sankei Sports newspaper got the content of the interview.
BYJ is a popular actor always carrying his tender smiles,
frankly confessed that behind smiles he was always playing
while keeping two letters (cloud nine: two Chinese characters 隐退)
of retirement in mind.

The interview was held on 19th November 2008,
at a studio in Korea with the outside temperature of at least minus 5 degrees.
Yon-sama, who protected himself against cold with the turtleneck sweater,
mentioned a surprising fact from the very beginning.

“To tell the truth I had no intention to become an actor.
I wanted to be a director.
I have once thought of going into direction leaving the current job behind.
However, because of the fans who supported me as an actor
I had second thought of working harder and decided to stay an actor.”

He was actually reluctant to have an audition of Love Greeting,
a KBS drama in which he made a debut playing the leading role.

“As I hadn’t prepared anything for it, without confidence I just gave it a try.
All I remember about it is that the parking lot fee was very expensive.
Because, during the audition,
I had parked the car for nearly ten hours.' (laughs)

Against his will, he went on his ‘career path of actor’ and rose to stardom.
In 2002 he won huge popularity with Winter Sonata in Japan,
however, the work he mentioned as his most memorable one himself was
Have we really loved?
in which he played an ambitious student.

“The hero I played had suffered from his life itself and was in great pain.
I could sympathize with the situation and be naturally involved in the role.
He died of a brain tumor at the end and because of this he suffered a lot.

One day I actually had a headache
and started to worry if I had something wrong in my brain,
so I had a checkup.”

By focusing on his character,
his performance naturally became very much convincing.
That’s why he had his back against the wall all the time.

“I’m ashamed to say that I always play the role
thinking this would be the last shooting,
this might be my last work or last scene. '

This year he will try voice acting in Animation Winter Sonata,
and will work as the Ambassador of Tourism as well.

“What would you like to do if you have, for example, ten-days-holidays?”
To this question he revealed his honest feeling.

“I would like to go to a country where nobody knows Bae Yong Joon
and experience its culture, meet people
and make friends with them or something like that.”

His real face, that has hardly been revealed, was partially highlighted.

This interview will be aired in Skyperfect TV!
BYJ Exclusive Special~ Change & Future - Part 1
will be aired at 10 pm on 10th January
and Part 2 at 7 pm on 7th February."

Dear family, annyong hasaeyo.
This is Yang Geun Hwan.

Very cold winter continues in recent Korea.
When its cold, people wish to rest in warm room rather than moving around.
As for myself, on recent cold days,
I bear cold winter by having some tea and delicious treats.

Despite the cold weather, Bae Yong Joon is into bicycle these days.
On every off time, he rides his bicycle near Hang-gang.
Won’t you try some light exercise instead of staying home all day complaining its cold outside?

Everyone, please have a healthy winter.

Happy Three King !!!

Jan. 6, 2009
Hi everyone.

Let's talk about this new born baby blog spot of mine. First I choose a Jeans or a denim designed template because I really, really love to wear Denim pants all the time any where I go.
Then about my header... at first I choose the word "Destiny", I even registered it already but I changed it to a "CHIKARA" 'coz I thought it's much better. You can see on the upper left the character or the Kanji writing of the word. Yes, yes and yes...... it is a Japanese word that means strength, power, energy, help or influence. I choose the word because BYJ (Bae Yong Joon) is my Chikara and my everything.
Like others, I've never been a fan before but upon seeing this man, I felt something strange that each day, weeks, months, years passed by it comes stronger and stronger.
I've got my strength from him when I'm so, sooooooo down. ( My mother died and the person who took care of my children whose with me for almost 30 years died also and I was separated from the father of my children. The business was lost , the house and lots, cars, and all valuable assets were lost. Everything that I worked hard for was lost.)
I was really, really, really down, but there's BYJ who give me the hope and strength to carry on and give me courage to survive.... When I'm sad, I just looked at him and talk to some of my Baesisters. When I'm in our Baeworld there's really peace and joy in my heart.
And through this blog, though I'm not good in English, I hope I can share all my thoughts, feelings, hobbies, happenings, desires, dreams, achievements, success and etc, etc and etc to all of you. Hope you all will enjoy visiting here and many thanks to everybody.

Lots of love and respect,
Leny *^____^*

PS.... Many thanks to the ones who created those photos, videos and slide shows that I upload here. Thank you, thank you soooooooooooooo much.....

Happy New Year !!!!!



Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Blog!!!

Yes it's my very first time to make a blog.
The very first day of the year 2009.
I'm not so good in expressing my feelings and thoughts
in words but by means of other materials may be I
can and soon you will learn the real me.

The very first reason why I create this blog site
is my "Honey Baeb BYJ"- Bae Yong Joon
A Hallyu star and Prince to other family.
Through this blog spot, I hope I can connect
more and more with my Baesisters and family
And have more and more about BYJ.

Here's my first dedication for him:

I'm A Fan

I'm a fan
A certain fan that idolized
A certain star
Put him in a pedestal
And immortalized in dreams....

I'm a fan
Where ever he is, he's in my heart
Supporting him by any means
Trying to be close yet so far....

I'm, a fan
So crazy following his moves
even in a distance...
Miles away....far apart...
But trying to have connections
That can bring happiness to the soul....

The signatured hand wave and
A simple smile from him can
Light up the burden spirit
And cure the aching heart.....
