Street Art

While I was stumbling on StumbleUpon, I found this really cool set of photos from a post called 'Street Art'. All the images were amazing and I just wanted to share with you some of my favorites. Anyway, you can check out the website 'Next Web Design' for more amazing images. I think you'll enjoy going through the site especially if you're into photography. ♥

Q&A... 009

Masarap ba magmahal?

:: Yes. Especially when the one you love, loves you back.

Mahirap ba ma-in love sa taong may iba na?

:: Another yes. Since he's already taken, you really can't have him. Unless of course you're willing to throw everything away (including your reputation and your morals) and face all the consequences that comes with loving someone who already have someone else. 

Mahirap ba kapag may taong sobrang mahal ka pero hindi mo naman mahal?

:: Yep. You feel somewhat guilty that you can't reciprocate his feelings. You end up wondering why you couldn't look at him in the same way he looks at you.

Mahirap ba 'pag mahal mo, mahal ka, pero hindi kayo?

:: Should be. Otherwise, why wouldn't you be together if you both love each other, right? There must be a big reason why you're not together.

Mahirap ba 'pag pinagpanggap kang gf/bf ng mahal mo para pagselosin ang mahal niya?

:: Of course. Pretending to be the girlfriend of someone whom you really wish to be your boyfriend is just plain... SAD. 

Can lovers be friends after the break up?

:: Depends on how the break up was. If it ended in good terms, then possibly, give and take a few years, they can be friends again. But when there's cheating involve, it'll take a lot more time for the two to even become acquaintances or much worse -acknowledge knowing each other. 

Ano sasabihin mo sa isang tao kung ayaw niyang maniwalang mahal mo siya?

:: "If you don't want to believe me, it's up to you. I've done my part, now you should do yours."

Ano mas masakit, iniwan ka or niloko ka?

:: I'd rather have someone leave me (because of irreconcilable differences) than have someone cheat on me, then leave me.

Was there a time na talagang pinag-aralan mong mahalin ang isang tao?

:: I haven't. But sometimes I do wonder if it's really possible to learn to love someone. Sometimes I think it is a bit unfair.

Ano masasabi mo sa taong sobrang seloso/selosa?

:: Give it a rest. Too much jealousy can ruin a relationship. Learn to trust your significant other. It helps.

Ano masasabi mo sa taong nagpipigil sa love?

:: Don't hold back. Love someone freely, unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. By doing so, you're also setting yourself free.

Ano masasabi mo sa mga playboy/playgirl?

:: I believe in karma. What goes around, comes around.

Ano masasabi mo sa mga salawahan?

:: Be true. Stay true. To your feelings, to others, to yourself.

Ano masasabi mo sa mga mang-aagaw?

:: You can't really have (entirely) what was never yours in the first place.

Ano masasabi mo sa mga nanloko sa'yo?

:: Your loss, not mine.

Two-timer ka ba?

:: Nope. I have crushes every now and then, but when it comes to relationships, I'm a one-man woman. 

Ano ang karamihang 'first impression' sa'yo?

:: Snobbish. But it's okay since even I have to admit that I really give off that vibe.

Mabilis ka ba magka-crush sa isang tao?

:: Yup. Since I almost always go for the looks first (if he fits my ideal man, etc.).

Seloso/Selosa ka ba?

:: Every girl has a jealous side to her. I can tolerate crushes, closeness, etc. but when it becomes excessive, like borderline obsession, then... feel my wrath! Actually, I've read somewhere that a jealous woman can beat a private investigator when it comes to, well, checking the loyalty of her significant other. Hehe.

Madali ka bang makalimot?

:: Now? Sometimes. I guess it's a sign of aging.

Importante: Friends or Family?

:: Family. Because no matter what happens to you, they will never leave or neglect you. In good times or bad times, they will be there. You cannot choose who you are related to anyway.

Naniniwala ka ba sa Love?

:: Of course. Someday, I will find someone who will be sure that I am the one.

Ma-pride ka ba?

:: I hate to admit it, but yes. Pride... it's all I have. Hahaha.

Are you a text addict?

:: Nope. I seldom use my cellphone. 

Sinong mahal mo aside from your family?

:: Friends will be my safe answer.

Describe yourself in one word.

:: I'm unique. I don't think I have met anyone like me. Hahahaha.

Choose: steady boyfriend/girlfriend, mutual understanding (MU), or fling?

:: Fling is nice when you're a teenager, MU's are fun during your early twenties... but as you grow older, steady relationship is what you'll be asking, praying, even begging for.

Did it ever reach a point when you really really wanted to have someone as your bf/gf then suddenly you switched your thoughts to leaving him/her instead?

:: I haven't experienced that. At least, not yet. It's not like I'm planning to anyway.

What do you do when you're sad?

:: I listen to sad songs, cry my heart out, and then eat ice cream. 

What do you do when you're mad?

:: I listen to rock music, move around, and just keep myself busy in order to avoid punching anyone... ^__^

Q&A... 008

Lose a lover or Love a loser?

:: Hmm... I think I'd rather lose a lover. 

Smoke or Drink?

:: Drink. I never liked smoking, so I've never tried. With that said, smoking is also a big turn off for me. I just don't get it.

Run two miles straight or Walk eight miles?

:: Run two miles. Eight miles, even when walking, is a lot!

Go to the beach or Have a milkshake?

:: I'd rather go to the beach and then have a milkshake (or whatever fruit shake I want) there.

Laugh when nobody else is or Do not laugh when everyone else is?

:: I think it's more embarrassing to laugh when no one else is laughing, so I'd go for not laughing when everyone else is. But this is kind of tricky because it's either you'd be mistaken as crazy or insensitive or be mistaken as stupid (for not getting the joke, etc.).

Drink ten bottles of Red Horse beer at once or Never drink beer again?

:: Drink ten bottles!!! 

Have your pants ripped or Get thrown in a trash can?

:: Get thrown in a trash can. At least my clothing is intact. Hahaha.

Kiss someone you don't like or Kiss someone who doesn't like you?

:: Kiss someone you don't like. If I kissed the one that doesn't like me, chances are, that person would hate me more. So I'd be the one to make the sacrifice.

Not take a bath for a week or Take a bath in a lake?

:: Take a bath in a lake! Not taking a bath even for just a day, in this kind of weather, is disgusting!

Be an only child or Have five brothers?

:: Have five brothers. I have always wanted to have an older brother... :(

Cry in front of 5,000 strangers or Cry in front of your whole school?

:: I'd rather cry in front of 5,000 strangers. At least when I'm done crying, I won't be seeing them again. Unlike if you cried in front of the whole school, people would be talking about it and people would constantly remind you of it.

Be able to rewind time or See the future?

:: Rewind time. Where's the thrill in knowing beforehand what'll happen to you?

Die the day after the best day of your life or Live to be ninety?

:: Live to be ninety. So I could turn a best day into best DAYS of my life.

Go skydiving or Go scuba diving?

:: Both! I live for the thrill!

Be loved by one person or Have ten people who like you?

:: Be loved by one person. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'll be okay if everyone hates me, just as long as there is one person who loves me and believes in me.

What if you find out that your loved one is dating someone else?

:: Screw him. I'll be better off without him!

Would you take the risk of choosing the one you love over the one who surely loves you?

:: I actually don't know which one is better. So for now, while I'm still trying to deduce this situation, I'll have to say no.

Do you miss someone?

:: Yes. Everyday.

What is your darkest secret?

:: If it's a secret, I don't think I should reveal it here for the whole world to read. :)

What will you do if the one you love falls out of love for you?

:: Try my very best to make him fall in love with me again. After all my efforts are exhausted, and he still doesn't feel the same way anymore, I'll let him go. At least at the end of it all, I can say that, "I tried, now it's time for the both of us to move on..."

What's the worst relationship you had?

:: None so far.

Can you "DO" it with someone you don't love?

:: Yes, I can... It's just a matter if I want to or not. Hehe.

Any regrets in life?

:: Not taking more pictures with friends during high school? How I wish there were digital cameras back then!

What if someone will tell you that the guy you're going out with is just playing around with you?

:: Listen. Somehow, you'll know if it's true or not.

Do you see yourself still loving the person you're dating right now after five years?

:: Not really dating anyone as of this moment...

What's the most important thing in your life that you would be willing to give up for your love one?

:: Right now, the most important thing in my life (not counting my family since I don't think I could give that up) is my dream to travel the whole world. If giving that up means having to spend the rest of my life with him and our "would be" kids, I'd do it without any hesitations.  

What would you do if someone came up to you and could be the better person than who you are with right now?

:: If I truly love the one I'm currently with? Nothing. He could be a better person, but I think I'm with the right one. ♥

What if it will be the other way around?

:: Huh? What do you mean?

Are you a winner or a loser?

:: I'm a winner! I always believe that I am better than everyone else -which means I can also be a sore loser... Hehe.

What's the most usual thing you do when you're broken-hearted?

:: Curl up in bed and torture myself further by listening to sad/sappy songs.

What was the longest time that you have your heart ached?

:: 11 years. Not being with that one person you've always wanted... it's tragic.

Facing the one you love, what will you tell him/her?

:: I'd tell him, "I always knew you'd come."

What is the only trait that you love about yourself?

:: That I'm a dreamer. I believe that someday, somehow, I'll be able to do the things I've always wanted.

What song do you dedicate for yourself?

:: These Dreams by Heart.

Hottie Discovery... Yoo Ah In

Yoo Ah In

Yoo Ah In

Name: Yoo Ah In (유아인)

Real Name: Uhm Hong Shik (엄홍식)

Birthdate: October 6, 1986
Birthplace: Daegu, South Korea
Blood Type: A
Agency: Star K Entertainment
Official Twitter Account: @seeksik
Education: Konkuk University (Film Major)
Currently stars on MBC's 'Fashion King' as Kang Young Gul
Other notable works: Sungkyungkwan Scandal (2010), Antique Bakery (2008) (M)
see Dramawiki for complete list of his works.

I first saw him last year on KBS' 'Sungkyungkwan Scandal' -a period drama which also stars Park Minyoung, Park Yoochun and Song Joongki. I already knew back then that he was good-looking. That fact didn't escaped me. However, when you have both Park Yoochun and Song Joongki on the same show, you tend to neglect an unfamiliar face no matter how attractive they were. Hehe. Then, just last week, while watching Fashion King, there came a big revelation for me... Yoo Ah In is HOT!!! 

I guess you could say that he wasn't the reason why I started to watch that drama. On a side note, I also didn't watch it because of SNSD's Yuri. I watched it because I was a fan of Shin Sekyung. But after watching the first episode, I knew that other than Sekyung and the drama's story-line, I'll watch it because I wanted to see how good of an actor Yoo Ah In is. I think I might just have to watch SKK again and see why I failed to really notice him.Was it because of his character's long hair which just didn't work for me?

Hmmm... But I did think he was already attractive back then. It just wasn't on the same level as Yoochun and Joongki I guess. Lol. Anyway, as I read his profile, I found out that he's the same age as Yoochun, which means that he's 2 years younger than me (Why am I a noona to most of my Korean celebrity crushes?) Anyway, I also found out that he was also in the movie 'Antique Bakery'. I've been planning to watch that movie for so long and now I have a reason why I should really watch it. I also read that his hobbies include writing, piano, movies, music, snowboarding, and swimming. There wasn't anything else I could find about him on the web (well, those in English anyway) but I found a site that's loaded with pictures and other goodies of him. I'm sure any Yoo Ah In fan would love this tumblr dedicated just for him.
