Britain’s Next Top Model

Published by

Oh yeah(:  Haha! The reason why I’m currently not hooked on any drama is because I’m hooked on this reality tv show!:D It’s another version of ANTM ( American’s Next Top Model ) except with lesser melodrama ( yay!:D Good for me) and more er… nudity. I’m currently watching the episode of the Final Four, but I already know who’s the winner! That’s because I watched from Youtube, and people there just can’t resist making spoilers. Oh well. So, just to warn you guys, if you are currently watching this, but you haven’t gotten to that particular episode, there’re spoilers ahead(: Nicola is my favourite! It was such a pity that she got eliminated so fast because I wanted to see more shots of her. Charlotte was amazing to me. I don’t like her without make up, but with make up, she suddenly changes into someone that is so full of seductive appeal and she really gives awesome photos! I’ve always read about Amelias types, but I’ve never actually saw one on tv before. I’m …

SPAMS

Published by

It’s definitely not because I’m getting more and more readers everyday, because to be honest with you, my readership has dropped ( which was kind of inevitable, because thoughtsramble tends to get more readers when there’s a collective interest in XXX drama or YYY drama), so pray tell me, why do I get so many spam messages??? Or perhaps they do not just attack those with more readers? Maybe they aim at everyone? Haha I have no idea, but I’m definitely seeing an increase in those weird messages that do nothing but advertise many, many sites and it’s kind of arghhhhhh + -.- for me right now. I get on an average, one of these messages every day and I wonder if they are posted there through some programme, or really by some person?:O <3thoughtsramble

Heh?

I googled my livejournal name in for fun, and was relatively surprised to see that people have been quoting stuff that I wrote on this livejournal! I’ve no idea if I should be super flattered, because it never occurred to me that one day, people would be coming here and quote about the things I wrote to other people. I’m glad that most of them did their credits, but this has also caused me to be worried that there might be people taking things off this site, and then not acknowledging at all. Even though this should be taken as usual, and nothing to be worried about, but I don’t really like it:/ due to a super unpleasant experience. YepD:  Anyway, haha, yep I’m currently quite pleased. Lol.  <3thoughtsramble

On a day like this….

Published by

On a day when you are insanely bored/depressed/nothing better to do, what will you do? How about – choosing some dramas to watch, a few movies here and there, and some books to light up your way? Even better, have some yummy food to accompany you on this journey! I’ve always been recommending dramas, and dramas, and dramas, but if you have followed this livejournal for quite some time, you would have realised that I don’t just write about dramas alone! I write about books, movies, my own thoughts, reality tvs and more! It’s basically about anything that I will want to share with you guys out there, and so I was thinking, why don’t I recommend a mix of these things to you? If you have an entire day to waste, and you are simply too lazy to go out, why don’t you – 1. Start with the appetizers. Do you have any favorite scenes from any dramas that you love? Well, rewatch them! I’m sure you can find them on Youtube, streaming sites, …

My Princess

Published by

 The story so far….. Lee Seul finds out that she’s a princess and because of that, Hae Young doesn’t want to let her become the princess as that will be equivalent to snatching his inheritance away. -gasp-  First few glances at the leads — okay not bad, funny, Kim Tae Hee’s a convincing university student(: The plot after a few episodes starts to bore me a little, especially since Hae Young’s character doesn’t seem to be that attractive yet. I mean come on, a guy who helps you become a princess and overcomes all obstacles with you? Yeah grab him any time, but a guy who doesn’t want you to become a princess, and takes every opportunity to send you off to Egypt? Hmm I’m not so sure ( By the way, I’m at Episode 5. Slow I know:P) Yet, that being said, it doesn’t mean that I’m not amused by the cuteness of what the leads do/ the plot! "Omo, why is his eyelashes so long?" -touches her own in envy. LOL. He looks like a …

Spirited Away Review

Published by

      Yay! I finally had time to write a review for this!:D  So Spirited Away was a classic animation movie as well, wasn’t it? I love the soundtrack, and the love between the characters. I’m not talking about just romantic love in that sense, I’m also referring to love between friends, and the love that you can give other strangers. Spirited Away was a little scary for me because of all the gory characters that they had. Okay, maybe they aren’t gory, but I will tell you that slugs and snails and frogs and scary huge lumps of smelly gods aren’t what I have in mind. Yet, in a way, these characters draw the viewers’ attention and captivates them as well.  In case there are readers who have no idea what this movie is about, I shall provide a short synopsis. Basically, there’s this girl called Chihiro who wandered into this abandoned amusement park with her parents and even though she told her parents not to, they still ate the food that was …

Summer Wars Review

Published by

I can’t seem to find a suitable picture for this, but I will just go ahead with the review(:  So, Summer Wars is about how this guy, Kenji, accidentally helps to break to security code that protects Oz, a virtual world which everyone in Japan depends on — for business, emails, shopping and more. After finding out that it’s his fault, he tries to save the situation by stopping the evil guy from taking in all the information of the accounts made in Oz. Together with the help of his senior’s family, Takashi, who is also his crush, they try to stop the evil guy.  I ventured into this animation movie because of the excellent impression that The Girl Who Leapt Through Time made on me. You could see the director’s hand in this, and his own style. However, I must admit that The Girl Who Leapt Through Time still remains my favourite out of the two movies. I’m not entirely sure why this is so, but I highly suspect it’s due to the subjects …

Hey guys! I’m so sorry for not being able to update but —– remember the performance that I was talking about a few entries ago? it’s finally over, and now I will have more time to dedicate to this site! I’m sorry but I definitely didn’t neglect you guys haha!:DD  Now that I’m quite out of touch with dramaland, would someone like to tell me what’s the hottest news out there?:D Is My Princess considered outdated already?:O <3thoughtsramble

There’s a reason to anything that happen…

Published by

Haha that was a random title! How’s life for all my readers out there! Life has been really super hectic, but I miss posting entries on a daily basis! I’m currently watching My Princess now, and it’s kinda good — funny and nice, but no way romantic yet [ For your information, I’m still on Episode 3].  Here’s just a random shout out to all my loyal readers — thanks for your constant support, and help! I really appreciate it, and I love all your comments, so keep  them coming<3 For new readers, I hope that you will stay on to visit thoughtsramble on a regular basis, and then maybe you will soon come to love those things that I’m writing about as well:D  Even though I’ve been so busy, I try to read some stuff, and that’s how I found myself reading Agatha Christie’s books! As mentioned before, I find her a little too simple for my liking, since I was expecting hardcore, mind-boggling detective stories. Soon, I’ve come to realise that it might …

Secret Garden Episode 18-20

Published by

Ooops! It has been too long from the last episode of Secret Garden! Have you guys watched it?  It was really, really cute here when he got amnesia and thought that he’s 21 years old! He’s like this awkward, funny guy lol! See what I mean?:D Goshhhh a white grand<3 the showdown of the two love rivals! SUCH A CUTE SHRUG!!! Then a showdown between the two women in his life. Poor Oska! It was very funny here because his mum seems to have a much better impression after Seul took out the same perfume spray as her haha! I think she’s so pretty! I can’t tell if she went through plastic surgery or not though:/ Sweet! HIM PROPOSING — "I didn’t want to marry you because I love you -a look on Ra Im’s face- I want to marry you because I can ONLY love you, and I don’t want any other women in my life." AWW! Before this, I was choking up with laughter for some weird reason that I cannot remember… I …

Updates!

 Yep so I’ve been away for more than a week and I apologise!:P  Things have been moving really quickly for me, and I’ve fallen sick as well. So take care, all my readers! I have a particular strong reaction to cold medicine. The non-drowsy ones give me a sense of being really detached and immobile, you can just imagine what the drowsy cold medicines do to me! [ Yes I’m currently on medication, so after this post, it’s time to sleep. I can’t really move my fingers anymore lol. ] I’ve also taken part in a performance which requires lots of commitment and time to prepare for. I’m really glad that I’ve joined because I love making friends and participating in new experiences. Right now, I haven’t fulfilled many of the goals that I wanted to achieve at the end of this mega-huge performance [ not solo of course! ] but I have faith that these hopes and wishes will come true!  I just finished Secret Garden last episode. Yes, how slow can I get? …

Secret Garden Episode 17 Minor Recap

Published by

So now that Ra Im knows that the man whom her father saved was Joo Won, she’s heartbroken, and there’s this cliche scene in some sense, where Ra Im calls Joo Won but he doesn’t know that she’s just behind him.  Joo Won learns that his mother wants to fire him, which causes Secretary Kim to whine "President~~~" "I told you, I’m not your president anymore." "Joo Wonie hyung!~~" Omg that was just  funny, looking at the outraged expression on Joo Won’s face. However, what he doesn’t know is that it’s a move on his mother part to threaten Ra Im to leave Joo Won. At first, Ra Im insists that she loves Joo Won and she will work hard to make it better, but his mother remains adamant that Joo Won should not have a flaw like Ra Im, thus ending her dramatic speech with "I will destroy his life." Like seriously? I couldn’t contain my doubts so I just had to post an entry on that single thought haha. Enters one of my …

Secret Garden

Published by

That’s just so stupid! Argh Joo Won’s mother is really crazy — I can’t find a single shred of redeeming point in her. So because Ra Im is low class, she will destroy Joo Won’s life? Then how about herself? Oh did I just hear her declare "Watch how I destroy Joo Won’s life." ? 0.0. 

Psst

Wow, haha you can see that the busy times I’m talking about are here! [ referring to entries where I mention that I will probably post only once or twice a week, instead of everyday] I’m going to keep on doing Keizoku 2:SPEC recaps even though I’m pretty busy right now, so be patient for it:D I’ve heard that subs are out on some places, but I still couldn’t find them, so I shall take it that my recaps are still in demand right now(: Even if no one else needed those recaps, I think I’ll still go on, because I don’t like the idea of not finishing what I’ve set out to do haha! Nevertheless, it’ll be great if I have readers, thank you<3  I’m currently reading The Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead, but I’m so reluctant to reach the ending! Like any dramas, I hate it when stories or plots come to an end, because that means I won’t ever know more about those characters and their lives [ sad endings excluded ]. …

Secret Garden Episode 13-16

Published by

The body swap is just hilarious, and cute seriously. I mention before that I wasn’t planning on watching Secret Garden at all, because of the body swap, but I’m so thankful that I went on! There was/is [ I don’t know and I don’t care ] an uproar on the scene where Joo Won pushes Ra Im on the bed, which supposedly kills some viewers’ love for this drama, but rest assured, not mine. I really wanted Tae Ssun to be un-gay, but haha since that’s impossible, I just wish that he’ll have a happy ending, because 1. Oska’s definitely not gay and 2. I want Oska to be with Yoon Seul.  Minor Recaps!:D Pretty!! Ra Im came to the party to tell Joo Won about her decision — which was a yes. Even though she swore by her father’s name that she would not get together with him, she realised that the pain of staying away from him would be even greater. Joo Won was going to tell her his answer, but they were …

Howl’s Moving Castle Review

Published by

     The one I watched is not English dubbed [ of course! ] because I just cannot stand dubs.  All right, I watched this, and I love it. So what’s the catch of this movie? First, you have a young girl called Sophie who was turned into an old woman. She’s in love with Howl, who seems like he only likes young pretty girls, so a secret there. Second, you have Howl, a wizard, who is really vain and ensures that he is at his best whenever he goes out, so you have a tiny bit of comedy. Third, did I mention that Howl is actually super charming [ and in my opinion ], quite good looking? He has his secrets of his own, so you have a mysterious, dark, handsome good lead. What are you waiting for? The film starts off with an introduction of Sophie, and within ten minutes or so, the mysterious arrival of Howl, who teaches Sophie how to walk in the air. The pace is just right, with no …

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Review

Published by

  Yes I just finished watching that!:DD  I watched that after watching Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away [ which I will do reviews later on ], so I had this weird impression that it was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I think that this movie has similarities when compared to Spirited Away, but I was thinking more of the drawings of the characters. When I realise that this movie was directed by Mamoru Hosoda, whether you want to call it as a trick of mind, I could immediately feel the difference in directing styles. For me, this movie is interesting because it shows what will change if time allows some events to be changed.  Basically, this movie talks about a girl who accidentally chances upon the ability of travelling through time by leaping. At first, she uses it for totally frivolous reasons like acing exams and all, but she soon realises the effects of leaping through time — bringing changes to other people’s lives, in a bad way. There was a twist towards the end, …

Keizoku 2:SPEC Episode 6 Recap

Published by

When my recaps get deleted, I have two kinds of emotions paired with two kind of reactions. Emotion #1: I get really pissed off. Emotion #2: I feel deflated. Reaction #1:I retyped everything again immediately, because I refuse to let technical glitches, or stupid human errors on my part, delay the recap. Reaction #2: I hold the recap off, because I’m tired [ as in literally, my fingers were aching ] of typing. Haha! I guess you could call this case a pairing of Emotion #1 and Reaction #1! In any case, no harm done and my fingers get an extra work out:P

Keizoku 2:SPEC

 Oh wow I just deleted the entire Keizoku 2:SPEC episode 6 recap. I can’t think for nuts why I just keep doing that to myself! I did a backup this time round, I was so cautious but I lost the backup on Microsoft as well. This makes me think that I’m just fated to lose recaps. Gosh. <3thoughtsramble

Secret Garden

Published by

Seriously! I just went to a drama recap site [I’m pretty sure you guys know which one] because I had to confirm some stuff about Secret Garden, and I accidentally chanced upon this whole rant on assault. Okay I can see where that was coming from, that dramas and books make us look through this rosy screen until we think that it’s sweet and awww, and that we don’t see the truth behind this scene [ I’m referring to the one where Joo Won pushes Ra Im onto the bed ]. Yet, all Joo Won did was to hug her close! He didn’t even kiss her or anything, and he even showed restrain by chanting that funny thing because he respects her etc. So what’s the big deal?  I’m not targeting anyone, but I just feel like saying "REALLY" in that sarcastic tone. Yes, he pushes her on the bed, yes, she struggles but because he’s a man so he wins, yes, it romanticises the whole thing till we can’t see what’s wrong with it. The truth is, …

Secret Garden

Published by

OMG I KNEW IT I KNEW IT THAT TAE SSUN IS GAY OMGGGG. Okay I’ve no idea if I should be happy that I feel smart or to be sad for him because I THINK he likes Oska and Oska definitely won’t like him, right?  I actually wanted to say that I thought Tae Ssun is gay in the previous secret garden post. There’s something in the way he looks at Oska… it’s like a guy looking at a girl if you know what I mean, then I suspected so even more when he says that he’s worried about Oska. Does this mean that the actor of Tae Ssun is really good? Or that I’m smart hee hee!:D Okay ego aside, maybe he’s not gay at all. Hmm we shall see how, but in the meanwhile, let me bask in the joy of guessing the right thing lol. <3thoughtsramble

Secret Garden Episode 8 – 13

Published by

I’m actually barely into episode 13, but anyway, OSKA JUST MADE ME TEAREDDDDDDDDDDDD.  I think it’s nice that Seul and Woo Young still love each other, instead of like a typical Korean Drama where second female lead and second male lead are both deeply in love with the leads. I think this drama is special in a sense, because they didn’t use a lot of the cliches. For example, Joo Won is more like a ‘girl’ in that sense than Ra Im, everything in terms of action, stamina, attitude etc… gosh I’m in a love-hate relationship with Joo Won. He’s such a jerk!!!!!!!!!! It’s like he still has no idea how to respect others and he always goes about doing things on his own. He doesn’t know when he has hurt others, and when to apologise. Yet, he can be so sweet at times that I will squeal. ARGH. I think I’m on a more stable relationship with Woo Young lol.  That cracked me up entirely. HAHAHA. The whole set up makes him look like …

New Year…

Published by

 A year is drawing to a close! This year, I’ve went through so many things, and survived. I’ve grown up a little, I’ve set up thoughtsramble, I went through examinations [ while watching Playful Kiss even when examinations were just on the next day. -guilt- ] I met new friends, and kept in contact with the old ones…. I did things that were memorable.  Thoughtsramble, when it first started out, was quite sad… with like 0 readers, or at its best, 2 readers per day. Yet I continued writing because I don’t know… I just like it, and slowly the readership builds up. I started to recap on Playful Kiss, and the readership shot up. I get comments, and new readers. Then, Playful Kiss ended, and the readership drops again, but way better than when I first started. I still write about everything that I’ve watched, because I know I have readers that keep coming back [ Thank you so much!^^ ] and I love writing for them. Now, I suppose it’s luck/another phase of …
