I am not like Insoo buying only green onions
I am not like Minyong who will cut his finger..... (Actually I am a dab hand at cooking poached eggs!)
Needless to say......
Oh, I am not like Frank who will throw the bottle outrageously, NOPE! NEVER!
The sound of wind blowing...... the fragrant smell from the forest........ attracting me.....
Sign....... nobody listen to me......
Feeling Kindda.....Lonely.......
Capricious........ living alone..........
Uh, Um........ after dinner......... Um in New York
(NOPE, Peeking is forbidden, Delusion is allowed)
"Old" fellow can not play tricks.....
Um.....ooops.......I am not an "old" fellow.......not at all.......

Japan Trip - 2008 (2)
May 29, 2008 Tokyo 4:00 AM
Not much sleep last night, don’t know why. I am usually the one who can sleep soundly all night long.
Is it because I am in Tokyo?
Is it because I will see him after few days?
Is it because I am not used to the bed in the hotel?
Or is it because I will go to Park BOF and Gosireh today?
Anyway, my feeling is kindda complex and I don’t know how to explain it. Today I gonna “explore” the city of Tokyo and gonna dress up a little bit to “fit” this city.
I get up and draw the curtain.
OH! My mood turnsdown…… IT IS RAINING outside. The sky is grey and the rain splashes on the window.
Sign........can not wear the skirt definitely.
Me and my hubby went to a small 24-hour restaurant and there we had some bento as breakfast.
WOO, they are yummy and guess what?? Not expensive at all! We only spend 12 bucks for our breakfast.

Me and my hubby went to a small 24-hour restaurant and there we had some bento as breakfast.
WOO, they are yummy and guess what?? Not expensive at all! We only spend 12 bucks for our breakfast.
It was still early in the morning and almost all the stores are not open yet, so we went to a coffe shop called Excelsior Caffe. I ordered a Cappuccino for myself and a Caramel Mocha for my hubby. I always think that Americans are the originator of coffe-makers, but now I change my mind, compared with these two cups in front of me, those American coffee means nothing.
*The one has a heart on it is my Cappuccino
Even though I faxed my reservation last night, I still felt a little worried about it, so I decided to call Parkbof after 9:00am. I used the phone in my hotel room and began to make calls from 9:00, but I could not get through, either there was a busy tone or nobody picked up the phone. It's really wierd!! My hubby urged me to go out do the city sighting.
"Hey, come on, let's go out, why shall we stick in the hotel room?? what kind of phone call you make? it's already 9:30 and we can only spend 1 and half day in Tokyo. I don't want to waste my time, and if the call is important to you , you can use the phone in the subway as well!"
I had nothing to say just following my hubby. I was worried and nervous, what if they didn' receive my fax?? I have to talk with someone not the fax machine!
So when I saw the telephone in the subway, I grabed a lot of coins from my husband and rushed to it.
Still either busy tone or nobody picking up!! What does that mean?? My husband stared at me with a puzzling looking on his face, but he knew what happend, hehe , it must be related to that MAN.
FINALLY, there are someone alive! I began to talk with her in English, but she told me to hold on and then someone else picked the phone and began to talk with me in Korean! NO! NO! NO!
I am not in the vein to play the game with you guys! I used my limited Japanese to tell the staff that I need to talk with someone in English and I need make reservation. It took a while for them to realize what happened and I was very nervous and kept inserting the coins to the telephone. Another few minutes, finally a guy picked up and took my reservation! Yeah! it's done and now I can do the sighting freely.
We had our lunch at Ginza and the restaurant is recommended by the tourist book. I had beef with garlic bread and my hubby had a fried pork chop with pasta.
*My Beef with garlic bread
*My hubby's fried pork chop (Giant size)
After the lunch, we went to do the foot massage. hehe. my feet were so sour and painful cuz we kept walking in the rain.
It's nearly 4:00pm and we headed to the Parkbof which I had dreamed of for two days!
Even though I had a map with me and got an instruction from nice baesister bb's blog, I still got lost. Guess I am not that good at recognizing the road. especially the address is really simple and I had some difficulties to ask for direction as well.
Well, my hubby said there is only one way: Taking the cab!
I know it's round the corner, but it's really too confusing for me to find the right direction, so I took his advice and the taxi driver took us there only 2 minutes later!
Yeah!! see it!! It's Parkbof! Dang, Dang, Dang, here I AM!!
I stood beside the black doorplate and my hubby began to take pictures of me and there is a courtyard on the otherside which was covered by green carpet and there are some chairs and side tables, I sat on those chairs, Wow, it is so quiet and I felt leisure. It's really a good rest area for the Bae family members, especially for me, I had walked a long way to come here, hehe!
There is a long hallway towards the entrance of the door. On both sides of the hallway, there are a lot of poster of WLS. I saw Youjin, Joonsang, Minhyong on the wall. hehe, all these let me feel excited cuz I know I am now in the place of pilgrimage for all Bae Fans.
There is a reserved space for all the fans to leave their messages. What I put is:
Dear Park BOF - Tokyo,
Congratulations on your opening in Tokyo. The Chinese Family will support you always.
中国家人永远支持你。
And also, greetings from the Bay Area Bae Family in U.S.A.
Lynn (5/29/2008).
We were greeted by the staff at the door and after took off our shoes, we changed to slippers. It's a building with 2 flats and covered with hardwood floor.
At the door, there is a front desk. You can choose to buy membership or not. There are two memberships, one is the VIP with the price of 1500 yen, the other is Premium with the price of 2000 yen.
Before I was saying anything, My hubby told the staff:"One VIP and One premium please!"
I was led by the staff to a show room with some glass cabinet inside. in the cabinets, there are some goodies displayed.
THEY ARE ALL ABOUT OUR MAN! His posters, His key chains, His passport holder,His photo books........
I opened both my eyes and my wallet widely. I can not help touching every single item, I can't.
Woops, cannot be too greedy! my hubby was sitting at the corner observing me ........
I can not explore myself too much, can not let him know how crazy I am about that MAN!
I picked a passport holder, a set of postcards and some others. Thank for godness, I brought enough cash, cuz they couldn't accept credit card. I guess it may because they just open the day before and the credit card transaction machine hasn't been setup yet.
On the other side of the show room, there is another display area. All the items in that area are not for sale. They are the items wuri YJ used in the film of Hotelier. There are Frank Shin's watches, ties and accessories. I like Frank Shin so much that I almost put my nose on those displays.
On the second floor, there are 3 showrooms. One is Winter Sonata, one is Scandle and the other is TWSSG. There are some costumes that wuri YJ used in the filming.
The largest one among those 3 showrooms is Winter Sonata. In the middle of the room, Minhyong's classic costume was displayed: The orange Turtle neck sweater, the jeans and the beige long overcoat.
It's just displayed in the middle, how I wish I can touch them and feel them. They are what wuri YJ used. I began to ask the staff:"Can I touch them?"
Staff:"Yes, you may do whatever you like."
OH, Really??? Not Kidding, right?? whatever I like??? Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
I held "Minhyong"'s arm immediately and leaned myself on his shouder. I closed my eyes and sniff at the smell of this costome...........
What on earth am I doing?? I heard the staff began to giggle.
Since we bought the memberships, we were offered two drinks and some special gifts. The gifts for the premium member is 2 clear file folder of wuri YJ and a diary book, the VIP gets diary book only.
Me and my hubby were sitting at the dining area drinking coffee.
'How much you've spent?" my hubby suddenly asked me.
'Huh,not that much, not that much, you know I just bought few items."
He looked serious, really serious. He is really a good hubby and I can not ask more.
And then he said:"Look, we came faraway to here, we spent few thousand bucks on this trip and do you think you will come to Tokyo again within a short period?"
'Nope"
"Ok, tell you, GO GRAB WHATEVER YOU LIKE, i have enough cash on hand, go buy whatever you like, I am not kidding cuz I don't want you to regret afterwards for not buying this or that! and also give you a suggestion, since you've spent that much, how about you return some and buy that Special Gifts Wrap? which includes that Joon's bear."
OH, Dear hubby, you really understand me, really! I am greatly touched! What can I ask more? huh?
Yes, I do want that Joon's bear but I dared not to buy cuz it costs around $200 and I am afraid you will be upset with me.
But now, I can buy it, I can!
So I returned some items I bought. Sorry for causing so much trouble to the staff. but they were very nice.
I got that Special Gifts Wrap: A Joon's Bear, A diary book, YJ's postcards, YJ's towels, YJ's luggage label.
I was overwhelmingly cheered up, but what happened next really gave me another surprise!
The staff told me that I was the first BYJ Fan from overseas so that they can offer me a free drink. Really?? I am the NO. 1??
I asked what kind of drink I can get. The staff began to recommend me YJ's favourite coffee.
Yes, I WANNA THAT, I kept nodding my head!
And also using two memebership tickets, I managed to get two chances to pick up places for my pictures. I selected two places to take pic.
1. Beside Minhyong's costume in Winter Sonata show room.
2. Beside those displays of Frank shin in the main show room.
* The special Gifts Wrap I bought
*The passport holder
*The Premium Membership gift
* YJ's Fav Coffee

(Trans) Excerpt from TWSSG Special Program by NHK
Posted by Wenny and Jessica on byjfamily in Chinese
English to chinese by lynn
Special Thanks to Wenny and Jessica
1.Emcee: How's the injury on your leg?
BYJ: ( In Japanese) Much better, don't worry (Laugh)
Emcee: You've been studying Japanese?
BYJ: Yes, I can speak a little bit.
2. After the emcee introduced BYJ and he pointed to the right and the screen shows the segment from the filming. But just after the emcee pointed to right, wuri YJ followed him and did the same gesture and then he himself bursted into laugh.
3. The emcee let YJ introduce MSR and LJA to come out. The dress MSR wore was the same style as she wore in the NHK press conference, but in different color. YJ said when he asked MSR and LJA come to the stage, he felt like he was calling for his concubines coming out.
MSR: My deepest impression among the scenes in this drama is when Kiha and Damdeok seperated in Altar. When Damdoek told Kiha that his heart dropped into desperation, I felt very grieved.
BYJ: The scence in that Altar also gives me deep impression. What Kiha told Damdoek let me feel deeply depressed.
LJA: The deepest impression to me is when Sujini came to see Damdeok before leaving and Sujini was in a pretty dress. When Sujini looked at Damdeok, the man she loves but can no longer get close to, I felt my heart would break.
4. BYJ, MSR and LJA talked about the costume in the Drama
BYJ: I feel it is easier for me to get into my role when I wear the custome. When I is in the armor, I feel more powerful. Different customes give me difference feelings. But I like to wear the custome of ordinary people more, cuz it gives me the feeling of pleasure.
MSR: The cross strips on the chest means the restriction to the people from the God. The costome is white, so I have to wear it carefully. When I was walking, I have to pull it up a little bit and when I was eating, I should bow my body in order not to get any splashes of food on it.
The costume is light,but when you wear it, you will feel the intense responsibility as being a priestess. It was really cold to wear it in winter.
LJA: I rarely wore this costume in the filming. This one was only used when I filmed the poster and in the Osaka Event. But I like almost all the costome of Sujini. Wearing them let me feel lighted up and also i can move about freely in those costomes.
MSR: I can not move freely in Kiha's costume, but Sujini doesn't need to worry about moving around.
LJA: Sujini has her own worries, if that costome gets any dirt, it is very hard to clean it.
5. Among all the lines in this drama, which one gives the deepest impression.
BYJ: Before the war, Damdeok told all his soldiers that please don't die and try your best to stay with me. This is the order from your king.
LJA: When Damdoek and Sujini were in the Altar having some drinks, Sujini told Damdoek the meaning of her name "Sujini"
6. Talk about the impression among the actors and actress.
MSR: My husband and BYJ are friend but I don't really know him so much, like I don't know which hospital he was in and he's heading to New York, etc.
BYJ: Do you know my weight? MSR is an actress among the top list in Korea.
(MSR seems a little bit embarrassing hearing this)
LJA: What kind of change do you think I should make? (asking towards BYJ)
BYJ: Why asking such a difficult question? That's the first thing you need to change.
7. PD Kim, BYJ, MSR and LJA
The Emcee asked PD Kim about the choices of the actors and actresses.
PD Kim: BYJ is a person full of character enchantment and he is a combination of gentle and manliness. MSR is the only one who fits to the role of Kiha because she is able to have immediate explosive power, and as to LJA, just because she has no experience before, there are a lot of plasticities on her.
The emcee asked BYJ's opinion on PD Kim
BYJ: I know him very well by his reputation and I've been longing to work with him for a long time. But also I heared from senior actors that PD Kim is very strict and can not allow any faults, but now I feel he is like a father and I've learned a lot from him, I feel myself grow and become mature. It's been a great experience for me to work with him. Thank you, PD Kim!
8. About TWSSG Season 2
PD Kim: when the filming was ending, I hugged with BYJ and told him that it wan't over. I still have the same feeling up to now and BYJ got the Grand Award in last year's MBC's Awards, I think as to Season 2, BYJ is the person whom you should ask to.
BYJ: Both me and PD Kim feel pity and regret. If there is TWSSG season 2, how about move the whole setting to modern society? since there is no detailed plan and thoughts, it's hard to discuss deeper.
MSR: If there is season 2, please plan it sooner, cuz my due date will be..... (She is pregnant).
9. About YJ's hair style
BYJ: I finally feels the inconvinience of the girls who wears long hair. It really causes troubles especially in the washing and drying of the hair. The reason why I still have long hair is because of the Osaka Event and also I haven't decided my next project. Actually, I have cut my hair a little bit. But I may not change my hair style until I make decision on my next project.
10. YJ's greeting to all his family members
As a actor, I feel very happy to meet with you through this work. I feel very appreciated that this drama can be aired by NHK. I will continue to work hard to present good work to all of you. Hope everyone stay in healthy and I will pray for the happiness of all of you. Thank you.

Japan Trip - 2008(1)
I am little bit hesitate to write my Japan Trip in English, cuz I've never tried before and my
vacabulary is kind of limited. That's why I put it off until now.
I've written a lot about this trip in Chinese, so I guess the English version will be shorter, but will definitely share all I've experienced.
NEVER HAD I IMAGINED THAT I COULD SEE BYJ IN PERSON.
Starting April 2008, I've seen a lot of postings and articles regarding this Premium Event. I've translated some of those articles, and at that time, I think it will be an event happening in the other side of the earth and Japan is so faraway which seems impossilbe for me to attend.
YJ was in New York at that time and I don't even want to bother flying there trying to see him, cuz it takes 5 hours from SFO to JFK. but you will never know what will happen, right?? Sometimes, things happen beyond your expectation.
I knew on May 5th that there will be tickets to the event available. I got this news in the morning. I can still remember it's a Monday morning. I carpooled with my husband on the way to work and I started to tell him about my willing to go Japan.
My hubby knows that I am a fan of BYJ cuz he sees me googling all Bae sites and sometimes I translate some articles to share with other baesister and sometimes I am on the phone with other baesisters for hours.
He was quiet when I mentioned that I'd like to see BYJ in Japan. After quite a while, he told me that he needed to consider it.
In the evening, he gave me a "Yes" answer! Yeah! Whoo Hoo! We are heading to Japan after 3 weeks!!
I was so exctied cuz I've never expected it. and began to prepare for this trip right away.
May 27, Tuesday.
My hubby and I flew via Northwest (nw 27) to Japan, after 11 hours, we landed in Toyko Narita. It was already 5pm.
After exchanging the JR Rail pass with the JR tickect I bought in San Francisco, we took the Narita Express heading to our Hotel.
Sign of relief!
Finally I arrived in Tokyo!
After dinner, we were wondering aimlessly on the street trying to feel the night life in Tokyo. Unlike in the States, all the people, especially the girls dress so nicely and fashionately. Like us in the States, we usually dress casually , T-shirt and Jeans, but here all the people are in style. Almost all the girls wear High-heels and make-ups. Look at myself, jean, a black camisole, sports shoes. OMG, I felt a little bit abashed.
"look at this way!" my hubby pointed to somewhere. I followed his direction and guess what I found?? haha, I saw them, I saw JOONSANG & YOUJIN!
The poster were hanged on the door of a game store.
After coming back to the hotel, I connected to the internet and began to google all baesites as usual. Gosh, so many posts regarding the event which will be held few days later. and suddenly I found this news on bb's blog.
" Park BOF Tokyo opened today (May 28, 2008)"
Yeah! I am just in the right time. I planned to visit the Park BOF in Osaka this time but got to know that it was closed for reno. and I thought that I may not get the chance to visit it.
It is said that you can make reservation from 9:00 am to 7:00pm via fax or phone. At that time, it's already 10:00pm, so I planned to call them tomorrow morning.
Could not sleep at all, I've had plenty of sleep on the plane and also I was worried about the reservation, cuz I will only stay in Tokyo for 2 days and have to leave for Osaka on 30th. So I gonna go there tomorrow.
I know if I have something in my mind, I will never feel at ease.
I called to the front desk, telling them I need to fax sth. They told me the business center was closed and have to wait until tomorrow morning. Nop, I can not wait that long and I clung to them trying to get their help. Finally, they agreed that I can use the fax machine in front desk.
I sneaked out to the front desk and wrote an reservation letter in English. I told them it's an very important fax and let them translate my English to Japanese.
Can you imagine that it's in the midnight and a woman was in her pajamas and slippers, speaking English in the middle of the Lobby in A 4-star hotel in Tokyo.
I can see the puzzle on the face of the hotel staff. Is it so-called Important fax??? Hey, do you know what time it is now?? Do you think we don't have anything to do during the night-duty?? look at what you wear!
Anyway, I don't care what other people thinking about me. The only thing I care is that I did fax out my reservation. That's all. Finally my mind was at rest.
vacabulary is kind of limited. That's why I put it off until now.
I've written a lot about this trip in Chinese, so I guess the English version will be shorter, but will definitely share all I've experienced.

Can you imagine that it's in the midnight and a woman was in her pajamas and slippers, speaking English in the middle of the Lobby in A 4-star hotel in Tokyo.
I can see the puzzle on the face of the hotel staff. Is it so-called Important fax??? Hey, do you know what time it is now?? Do you think we don't have anything to do during the night-duty?? look at what you wear!
Anyway, I don't care what other people thinking about me. The only thing I care is that I did fax out my reservation. That's all. Finally my mind was at rest.
