A MOMENT TO REMEMBER MOVIE (korean movie)

This sappy movie was the one of the most popular chick flicks to come out of Korea in 2004.

The plot involves a love story between two opposites. Soo-Jin, is an annoyingly feminine daddy’s girl. It’s love at first sight when lays her eyes on the ultra macho construction worker Chol-Soo. Chol-Soo is tough and sexy, and just what she needs after her recent break-up with her ex. As chance would have it, Chol Soo is foreman at one of her dad’s building sites.Even though Soo-Jin knows her dad would never approve of the match, love compels her to chase after the manly foreman anyway. She finally gets him after a few very silly and stereotypical courtship scenes. In one scene, Chol-Soo valiantly saves Soo-Jin’s stolen purse from a motorcycle bandit. He then proceeds to drive her home in a very cool beat-up jeep. She acts totally helpless, hanging on for dear life as the dirty jeep speeds along the highway. She dons his welding mask for protection. Beneath the window of the huge iron mask, she’s making a cute doe-eyed expression that seems to say, “I’m a helpless little girl who needs to be saved by a knight in shining armor.” I assume this is where all the teenage girls start sighing, but come on, how corny can you get!In another scene, he’s teaching her how to swing a bat at some kind of baseball driving range. Again she’s completely useless in her secretary skirt and stiletto heels. He has no choice but to come behind her and show her how to swing the bat. He wraps his studly body around her and they zoom in on the grinding bodies. I’m sure hordes of teeny bopper girls swooned over this scene, but all it got from me was a big roll of the eyes. PULEEZE!Even though Mr. Tough Guy insists he doesn’t want to be tied down, Soo-Jin decides that it’s time for them to get married. She stages a surprise dinner with the family because she wants to come out of the closet about who she’s dating. Her dad is furious when he finds out who her boyfriend is and Chol-Soo is put under a severe interrogation. The weak-hearted Soo-Jin can’t handle the situation and faints from extreme stress. Both men soften up and decide to accept each other after they see how vulnerable Soo-Jin is. After the wedding, daddy’s connections help Chol-Soo land a more prestigious job as an architect. Then, tragedy strikes the newlyweds when the 27 year old Soo-Jin gets diagnosed with (GASP!) Alzheimer’s disease! (YEAH, RIGHT!)This is one of those movies that really reinforce male/female roles in Korean society. Men are supposed to be tough and protect their women. (This attitude probably stems from years of war and Confucianism.) Women are meant to act meek, vulnerable and cute. Furthermore, the plot perpetuates an unbelieveable female fantasy that some tough guy would turn out to be so talented and devoted. In real life, manly men are usually just jerks. A Moment to Remember was so over the top, I wanted to turn it off halfway through.

1.Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.
2.Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.
3.Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.
4.Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.
5.Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan yung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sa 'yo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.
6.Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo. Dapat lumandi ka din.
7.Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sa 'yo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.
8.Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.
9.Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang.
10.Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.
11.Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.
12.Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. 13.Totoong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.
14.Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.
15.Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya.
16.Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.
17.Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala.
18.Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan.
19.Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!
20.Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.
21.Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sa iyo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.
22.Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal...nakakatakot mahulog...at kapag nahulog ka, it's either by accident or talagang tanga ka.

A Song for Mama

You taught me everything And everything you've given me

I always keep it inside You're the driving force in my life, yeah ....

There isn't anything Or anyone I can be And it just wouldn't feel right

If I didn't have you by my side ...

You were there for me to love and care for me

When skies were grey Whenever I was down

You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be what you have been to me

You'll always be you always will be the girl In my life for all times ....

Mama, mama you know I love you Oh you know

I love you Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart

Your love is like Tears from the stars Mama, I just want you to know

Lovin' you is like food to my soul ........

You're always down for me Have always

been around for me even when I was bad

You showed me right from my wrong Yes you did ....

And you took up for me When everyone was downin' me

You always did understand You gave me strength to go on

There was so many times Looking back when

I was so afraid And then you come to me And say to me

I can face anything And no one else can do What you have done for me

You'll always be You will always be the girl in my life

Loving and Losing....

Love is overrated but the pain is real...My friends use to seek advice from me, and it seems that no words can appease what they feel. That's just it, reality bites. I remembered cursing a close buddy and basically throwing all forms of god-knows-what-pieces of rhetorical, and smart assed pieces of advice thinking that he's such a fool for crying over someone. If it's not a shame, then it's stupidity to let love, or pain, get the better of your studies and sanity. Friendships are also tested during this phase in your life. It's either they give up on you or stick up for you until your last tear has gone...
But I realized that I was wrong..no one is invincible from pain. Who can get away from love? When it hits you, it hits you like a thunderbolt of lightning -painful and, for lack of words, deadly. That's why I am trying not to or will never go back to that trashy feeling again..
I've been there done taht. It was a huge jump from the moon and back before I realized that , wheowwww, this has got to stop dude!
In retrospect , I used to think that I'll never get out of the enoty abyss that I have gotten myself into. Now, all seems a speck of dirt that couldn't ruin a powdery white dress. And I'd have to laugh to myself for my over-exerted drmarama before....
After raising hell and cursing the antagonist of a supposed what-a grand-love-story. what's next??? reality. !! and reality is telling me to be smart and to learn to prioritize..(make time...make time..+) and try not to fall inlove again..... but ... but..... oh.. anyway... hahaha
Everybody has the right to stumble and be stupid once in a while . ok??? what is learning-your-lesson -from-experience for it you're too perfect to commit a mistake..Unless ofcorz it has become hobby. he he. wake up sweetie! (snap snap) life is knocking at your door. Time will tell......just wait for the right time.... enjoy your life.,...
There's just too mucch goin around me now.. studies,friends,family,friends...friends....myself... and injecting a love life in my rather monotomous life is somehow part of the plan.. but... not now..... committment is not on my list.... not now..Three years from now.I will do this and that. I will go there and here. ad infinitum..
And one song says " I've lost that loving feeling" Yes , indeed, it seems greek and ancient to me now...sometimes...They say that good things never last....well, so do bad things....and i'll bet you will neck on that.
