Finished at Last!

MOOD: Happy, shalala!
MUSIC: Arigatou Tomodachi by Jun, Eman and Jay-R (PDA)

Truly, arigatou! Thanks Lord now that I have finished doing my clearance from school and I was able to get my diploma. I'll just wait for my TOR and HD. Wheww! After tons of signature, more than a month of going back and forth, and weeks of anxiety and confusion, I finally finished everything and I can rest my mind and heart, for a while at least. Completing a goal is really sweeter if it was done with hardwork. :) :) :)

Now, starting anew... moving on... living the life that's meant for me...

MUSIC NOW: Salamat Sa 'Yo Ina by Ronnie Liang

I'm not sure exactly why but I like this PDA scholar, Ronnie Liang. He's not the best scholar in the academy but he's goodlooking and has a soothing voice. Maybe I like him because I think he has most of the things I like in a guy. He is nice (not a bad boy image) but not boring, has a passion for music, responsible and persevering. I like the way that he wakes up early to run on the treadmill while the others are still snoring in their beds. He's friendly but not the loud type of person. I hope I'm right about what I think of him and I hope he stays long enough if not win in the competition. If not, I wish I'll still be able to watch him on TV or in concerts after PDA.

Now that I have less things on my mind and more time, I really have to start working on my site. I also have to start organizing my room which I have been planning for the past weeks. By the way, I finished romanizing Noreul Saranghe. I'm not posting it yet because I want to post it with the English translation.

I'll be working on my site now...

Lessons in Life

MOOD: Mixed feelings (happy, worried, grateful, confused)
MUSIC: Your Love by Alamid

Life is really so much different for people depending on where they find their happiness. One may find happiness in fame, power, knowledge or in their achievements in life. But others may find happiness in the simplest things of the world - being at home with the family, having peace of mind, or getting in touch with old friends.

Life is also like a revolving wheel, sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. Each has its own time.

And once in a while, life gives you surprises. They may be big or small. Others may be good or bad. But whatever they may be, we are all called to face them... to experience them. It then depends on us how to react to them and how to handle them.

These are only a few of the things I've learned these past few days from my friends, Night and Patriot, and from my other experiences recently. These are lessons that I probably will encounter over and over again in the future. I just hope I'll remember them.

Friends, friends, friends

MOOD: Worried/excited
MUSIC: Noereul Saranghe

I received a text message yesterday from my friend, Night, telling me how her days had been really, really bad! She failed in her practical driving exam because she crashed into something (I'm not sure but she probably was asked to drive the same old vehicle with no hand brake). She her application to study abroad was also rejected. She was walking home yesterday crying. :(

I tried to meet up with her to comfort her or to just simply be with her. But she said that she wanted to be alone for the moment and would call me when she is better. She told me she was tired and depressed but not suicidal. So I just her sent her some comforting messages hoping that they would help her somehow. I really wanted to see her but I guess there are times when one needs to be alone for a moment, probably to think, reflect or to just cry everything out. Letting her know tham I'm just here for her in case she needs me and praying for her would be the best things I could do for her right now. I will be waiting and I hope I hear from her soon.

Another friend just got in touch with me a while ago. He is an old friend since high school and we haven't had any contact for quite some time. We're meeting up later so I'm really excited. Ok, more on that later 'cause I'll be going out now to meet him...

너를 사랑해

MOOD: Happy and teary-eyed
MUSIC: Neo Reul Sarang Hae

I have been watching Sweet 18 again at home for the second time. I am now on episode 13 and in that episode, after finding his toy robot, Hyuk-Joon (Lee Dong Gun) sang a song to Jung-Sook (Han Ji Hye), and I just love that song! So I tried to look for the title of that song. It's 너를 사랑해 (Neo Reul Sarang Hae/I Love You) by 한동준 (Han Dong Juk). I tried to look for a site where I can listen to the whole song and all I've found so far is this site:

It's only a part of the song but it's better than nothing. I really like that song! Even though I don't understand everything, it makes you want to fall in love - again... :) Haaay....

Here is a copy of the lyrics but I still have to romanize it.

너를사랑해

아침이 오는 소리에 문득 잠에서 깨어
내 품안에 잠든 너에게
우우우 워우 워워 너를 사랑해

내가 힘겨울때마다 너는 항상 내곁에
따스하게 어깨 감싸며
우우우 워우 워워
너를 사랑해 영원히 우리에겐
서글픈 이별은 없어
때로는 슬픔에 눈물도 흘리지만
언제나 너와 함께 새하얀 꿈을 꾸면서
하늘이 우리를 갈라놓을때까지
우우우 워우 워워 너를 사랑해
너를사랑해

My next project - romanize this song and hopefully be able to translate it to English (If I won't find one). And I wish I could have a copy of this beautiful song...

First Entry

MOOD: tired but satisfied
MUSIC: none

This would be my first entry in my blog. Why Of Lions and Bees? It's just the combination of my name, the italian for lion ("brave as a lion" actually), and the greek for honeybee. It's up to you if you want to figure out what my real name is.

I want my blog to be just an expression of my thoughts for the day or past days and of the things I learn and encounter in my everyday life. Nothing very complicated about it, except when I think of a lot of stuff (which I do a lot on certain days).

Online, I still have a lot to do with my website. It's still pretty empty and I'm still trying to figure out how to organize everything I want to put in it.

On one my hobbies which is learning a language (Korean right now), I learned a lot today from this site, http://www.mct.go.kr/koreanthroughenglish/. Already in chapter 8 and that's when I stopped because my brain couldn't accomodate more information. Also sent an email to edwood about it.

That's it I guess for today. I'm tired from work and all that stuff so I'll just type in more about myself next time.

Annyeong!
