Ginger or Lemongrass?

When my mom cooking Tinola (soup based dish from Philippines), I noticed She used Lemongrass (Tanglad) So I was thinking.. "Oh this one taste good!" Tanglad also can imitate the taste of ginger. As I know  I really love lemongrass in food because of the aroma and the extinct flavor it brings to the food as like as natural taste of the food. My mom said, "I also put ginger but few only cos we are lacking spices here already so I used  tanglad." She said. So I really agree that Tanglad rocks to this dish also. (As we know Tanglad is a mix of Lemon and Ginger. That's why it's taste better.  LOL) I know some people know about this, but I just wanted to share the feeling. :P

Difference of Ginger and Lemongrass

Ginger taste is distinct.. A minimal bitter taste.
Herbal uses: cold, cough, fever, and sore throat remedy. also used for lowering cholesterol levels and nausea.

Lemongrass taste is a mixture of lemon and ginger. Strong and dominant flavor.
Herbal uses: the leaves and it's oil can make medicine. used for treating digestive tract spasms, stomachache, high blood pressure, convulsions, pain, vomiting, cough, achy joints (rheumatism), fever, the common cold, and exhaustion. It is also used to kill germs and as a mild astringent.

Some people apply lemongrass and its essential oil directly to the skin for headache, stomachache, abdominal pain, and muscle pain.

It's not hard to love again.. Whether your priorities before or after you hurt is to be rich, earn money, be satisfied, buy all you want, still in the end, Love will conquer everything.

As well as the father and son relationship, even though not in good terms, A father will always be a father that will love his children no matter what happen.. They only always wanted you to be a successful man someday and a very good person  Blood still thicker than water. A loving parents will never let you down.

And so..
Even though, You lost him now,  no one can know, time passes, love takes time. It's okay to correct mistakes, but be sure you know what you really wanted now.

Important:

“Winston Churchill once said, ‘Immature love says I love you because I need you. Mature love says I need you because I love you.’” HAHAHA –

Seung-jo: “I need you because I love you, Se-kyung. Because I need you, I love you. Now I can no longer distinguish the difference between that.” *Tear*

I really like this drama, with satisfying ending. At the middle, I thought Se Kyung will became a really gold digger and will only realize that he really love seung Jo in the end.. But She never knew She love him already before he know that he's a super rich hot guy! Well, I just don't like some twist happen about her and Seung Jo, just because of the farking guy who video her and Seung Jo's Ex. LOL.

So don't forget that, Love is not all about money..

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell

Conversation from  a Disney Characters

Peter Pan: "Why did you have to go far away for so long?"
Tinkerbell: "You never gave me a reason to come back. I was always there when you needed me but i guess you never showed how important I am in your life. Now it's different and now we've changed, but  I'm still smiling."
Peter Pan: "Why?"
Tinkerbell: "I, myself, don't know the reason. It's just that now, IT'S YOUR TURN TO MISS ME."

Did you ever think?

Did you ever think
that he looks at you when you are not looking?

Did you ever think
that he likes you but he's just too nervous to tell you?

Did you ever think
that he doesn't text you because he wants you to miss him.

Did you ever think
that he talks about you all the time to his friends?

Did you ever think
that he is just too shy to talk/ hang-out with you?

Did you ever think
that he loves you in a way he's not ready to deal with?

Did you ever think
that he miss you so much and he can't tell you directly instead he teasing you.

Bagong taon, bagong pag-asa.
Bagong plano para sa bagong buhay.

Heto at nagiipon na ng perang gagamitin panimula doon.
Sana sa simulang ito, unti unting magkakatotoo ang mga pangarap ko.
SANA..

Nawa'y maging matatag ang kalooban ko at hindi ako pabayaan ng  langit..
Sa pag-alis kong ito,a ng aking mga kaibigan, kamag-anak at pamilya sana patuloy

MAMIMIS KO PO KAYO.

Hanggang sa muli,

Sungkyunkwan Scandal

photo credits to: http://www.dramafever.com/st/img/wp/2013/05/SKK-Scandal.jpg

Sungkyunkwan Scandal is set in Sungkyunkwan University in the late Joseon era during the reign of King Jeongjo, revolving around the exploits and love stories of four youths. When her younger brother's illness worsens and their family is in danger of being evicted from their house for lack of money, Kim Yoon Hee enters the school under his name, disguised as a boy in her desperation to support him. There, she becomes friends with the intelligent and upright Lee Sun Joon, the playboy Goo Yong Ha and rebellious Moon Jae Shin.

Set during an era when society does not allow females to be educated nor employed, Kim Yoon-hee (Park Min-young) disguises herself as her brother, Kim Yoon-shik, in order to make ends meet for her family. She goes through a series of odd jobs, mainly at a local bookstore, before she gets offered a chance to increase her earnings by becoming a substitute test-taker (an illegal act) for the upcoming entrance examination in the prestigious Sungkyunkwan. She gets caught by the upright Lee Sun-joon (Park Yuchun), who later acknowledges Yoon-hee's talents, and even encourages her to enroll in the university. There, she must bear with the endless mischief of upperclassman Gu Yong-ha (Song Joong-ki), put up with the constant mood swings of roommate Moon Jae-shin (Yoo Ah-in), avoid getting in trouble with the strict student body president Ha In-soo (Jun Tae-soo), keep her secret from being discovered, all the while trying to hold her growing feelings for Lee Sun-joon at bay.
Together, Kim, Lee, Gu, and Moon form the "Jalgeum Quartet" (sometimes affectionately called the "Joseon F4" by fans)

I like how this storyline made great, from the start, middle, then,  while im watching this drama, in the middle story i thought Dae Mul will fall in Love to Yoo ah In that she will remember that He's the one who save her before. A protector of her, but sad he got heartbroken in the end. :( Huhuhu. or Joong Ki  aka Gu Yong Ha, the ultimate fashionista wearing flamboyant and ornate outfits, He is the one that always tease her. -_-

Anyway it's just the ending im not satisfied. What happen after all? I thought Dae Mul will became a  real lady inside the SungKyunKwan. Hehehe!

Deh, I don't want to be a    spoilers      here. Just watch it :P

Actually I don't like the leading man of  Dae Mul, cos I am Yoo Ah In and Soong Joong Ki fan :P sorry! lol
You can fall in love watching this comedy drama ^_^

Im so in love watching Korean Dramas..

Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 2 
(A Before and After)

If I can make a wish
I wish that you will like me
But I don't want
Because I don't want you to like me because I wish it..
I want you to like me by freewill with your heart..

If the world would let me be happy..
I want to have that happiness because I made you happy.
If I tell you I'm still In love with you,
Are you going to leave me again?

I'm lively again when you started talking about my life
It's like i can smile after all
I thought I can never have that feeling once more
That once broke my heart..

It's  so difficult this feeling for you..
Every day, I keep saying to myself, "Stop it, or you'll hurt again"
But I still hoping,
Maybe this time, I will be happy

I tried to not talk to you anymore
I cant control myself, If I don't,
It ends myself tearing
Afraid to be left again and again.

Am I annoying? Irritating?
I hate myself, Yeah, Yeah
I tried to be nice, but still i keep remembering those things
"Yeah, I'm afraid to be hurt again, Should I stay away first?"


Maybe now, I will walk away from you
I know you will never notice me
Love is not the cruel one, But it is when you hurt.
I'm crying.

But if you say, Please stay,
I will stay..
I wish you will say, "Sorry, I'm happy that you are back"
Please don't let me go

English:

Because I cannot do anything but watch you
I’m sad because I cannot touch you
You who are standing right in front of me
And me who is there behind you
Always there in a shadow
Me who’s crying face is hidden
Me who cannot even beg you to turn around
Again tears are coming

Even when tomorrow comes, I will love you
Even more than yesterday, I love you
The words within my heart
Which cannot be removed
I love you even today

I don’t like being behind you
I want only to be next to you everyday
Me who wants that day to come
Me who lives because of that
Even though I am able to see you
I’m longing for you
Even though I am with you
I’m lonely
The love I do alone
I cannot see the end
Even thought I’m weary til I’m full of sorrow

Even when tomorrow comes, I will love you
Even more than yesterday, I love you
The words within my heart
Which cannot be removed
I love you even today
I love only you

That person who like a fool doesn’t know
even one thing that’s in my heart
That person in front of my eyes
Yeah, It’s you…

Even though I am able to see you
I’m longing for you
Even though I am with you
I’m lonely
The love I do alone
I cannot see the end
Even thought I’m weary til I’m full of sorrow

Even when tomorrow comes, I will love you
Even more than yesterday, I love you
The words within my heart
Which cannot be removed
I love you even today
I love only you
