Sleepy Hollow

I started watching this show with my boyfriend because he wanted to see it and it looked very interesting when he sent me the trailer. I am absolutely in love with it! It has such a great plot, actors, twist... Everything!
I can't wait for it to come back~~

Here is a description:

In this modern-day twist on Washington Irving's classic, ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison, “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen”) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod quickly realizes that stopping Headless is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and only one of the many formidable foes that Ichabod must face to protect not only Sleepy Hollow, but the world.

As Ichabod finds himself in 2013's Sleepy Hollow, he discovers a town he no longer recognizes and
grapples to understand. Teaming up with Lt. ABBIE MILLS (Nicole Beharie, “42,” “The Good Wife,” “Shame”), a young cop who has her own supernatural experiences, the two embark on a mission to stop the evil that has awoken along with Ichabod and that now is seeping into this once-sleepy town.

Clues from the past enlighten mysteries in the present, as each episode features a flashback to Ichabod's life in 1776. Ripe with untold stories from American history and cloaked in mythology, the divide between present and past becomes dangerously blurred. Lives are in the balance, including that of Ichabod's late wife, KATRINA (Katia Winter, “Dexter”), who is trapped in a mysterious netherworld. In his pursuit to save her, Ichabod uncovers secrets about her, leaving him with countless questions. 

Not everyone believes Ichabod's tales of 1776 and supernatural evils, especially the new head of Abbie's police precinct, Captain FRANK IRVING (Orlando Jones, “The Chicago 8,” “Drumline”). When faced with bizarre events he can't explain, Capt. Irving reluctantly turns to Ichabod and Abbie to investigate. 

Ichabod's extensive first-hand knowledge of our country's hidden history, coupled with Abbie's superior profiling and modern threat assessment skills, make them a formidable duo. The complex pasts of the pair, from Ichabod's inclusion in the powerful and secretive Freemasons Society to Abbie's childhood visions, will help them solve the intricate puzzles of Sleepy Hollow in order to protect its – and the world's – future. As history repeats itself, the oddly-linked pair will draw on the real stories and secrets this nation was founded on in their quest to stop an increasingly vicious cycle of evil. 

Look at the trailer: 



I really love Ichabod <3 He is such a great actor. I have never been so immersed and captive by a character, ever! He truly was remarkable. I can't wait for the season to return. 

I do advise though if you are weak on some scary things about demons and stuff then don't watch it at night! haha :)

I don't know what else to say but that I really recommend this show even if you think this kind of theme does not interest you. Trust me, he will capture you and have your attention ^^ What I also loved a lot about the show was how funny it was sometimes. Some lines that Tom says are so funny! He played Ichabods part very well. 

One scene that I will never forget will be the scene where he is using the computer for the first time and he is trying to decipher something and he accidentally goes into a very sexy site ;) and he says  something along the lines of "I am sorry, madam. However, I am taken." I can't remember too well. But it was so funny when he said that and then closes the laptop. Then opens it hoping the girl leaves the screen but then quickly shuts it when she says "I am still here."

Winx Club Season 1 and Season 2 (4kids version)

I was born in the year 1993 and while growing up I have to say I had great entertainment. I remember so many of my favorite shows. Shows I would watch after school, in the mornings while my parents got ready for work and most of all the shows I would wake up early on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I will eventually talk about all of them but for now I want to talk about Winx Club.

I have recently gotten this spark of motivation to watch all of those shows I have seen as a kid. It feels great! I can't stop smiling and laughing. I am reliving the feelings I had as a kid when I watched all of these cartoons. I don't watch T.V so much anymore but when I do its with my nieces. It is so disappointing seeing the shows for kids nowadays. It is not as funny or appropriate. :( I don't know the name of the cartoons I saw with them but I have to say for cartoons with some sexual sub-messages and basically showing kids its alright to cheat is so wrong. Definitely, can not have kids watching that.

I was on Pinterest the other day and I stumbled upon this picture that was so accurate. Now, this is isn't a cartoon but it implies to basically all the shows/cartoons as well from the past. Plus, I loved Boy meets world! <3
The caption is so true though!~

Let's go back to the Winx Club.~ ^^ I remember when I first saw this cartoon I couldn't stop singing the opening song. It was so catchy and seeing such pretty outfits in the opening makes you already reeled in. I would wake up every Saturday morning at 8AM to catch the new episodes. Heck! even the reruns~~ I loved 4kids! <3 I remember I would watch Winx Club then Bratz. I also watched Yugioh, Teenage Mutant ninja turtles, Magical Doremi, and so much more that I can't remember at this moment. 

As I grew up, I slowly stopped waking up so early but I never once forgot about my adventure and memories with Winx. I remember only watching up to the beginning episodes of Season 2. Now, I re-watched all of Season 1 and 2. I am currently watching Season 3. When I was younger my favorite characters was Bloom and Flora. My favorite heroes were Riven, Brandon and Sky. I really liked Musa and Riven couple though. However, Riven in mid season 1 was very douchey. But he gets better ;) Also let me add there are three versions of Winx Club. Which are 4kids version, Rai english version, and the newest version, the Nickelodeon version. My favorite is 4kids version because that is the one I grew up with and I am used to the voices from that one. 

***I am watching Season 3 now but some episodes look familiar, so I guess as a kid I saw some of these. 

Season 1:
 
Season 1 starts off with the main character Bloom finding out she is a fairy. The first season is basically Bloom coping with her new life in this school for fairies and new realms. She encounters adventures and battles. Deep down she has such an immense power that the three main witches want to steal from her. She also meets this guy named Brandon (which his real name is Sky). Musa, Bloom, Techna, Flora, and Stella work together along with the other fairies, witches and heroes to defeat the three evil witches (Icy, Darcy, Stormy)

I really liked this season. There were a lot of funny moments between the girls and I loved the romance with the guys. I have to say my favorite episode is the one where she just started going to the school and goes to the dance with this cute outfit she made. I liked it because of her outfit <3 Its hard to choose which one I liked the most.

Season 2:

In Season 2, a new girl gets introduced. Layla, Princess of the tides gets added to the group. Now, the girls are struck by an old enemy and a new enemy. The trio (Icy, Darcy, and Stormy) return with the Dark lord. Bloom, Musa, Flora, Stella, Layla and Techna must work together as a team to defeat this enemy. of course the boys help as well. In this Season, pixies are brought in and new love lines. In the first season, the two main couples were BloomxSky and StellaxBrandon. They hinted on Techna and Timmy but nothing really deepened. Same for Riven and Musa. Poor Flora was all alone! or not... In this season they introduce Flora's love <3 His name is Helia. Now, the one who is single is Layla. In Season 2, besides fighting evil, learning new spells, couples forming, love deepening and all but the girls received their Charmax. Which is like they leveled up.

I liked this season a lot because of the love lines and how the couples are getting more focused now. When I was younger I don't remember what I thought about Layla but watching it now I neither like her or hate her. She is just bleh. haha I still haven't gotten used to her. I am really loving Helia though. Now my favorite couple is Flora and Helia.

Let me introduce the girls!

My bucket list | Passion, Travel, Adventure, Living my life

I have written a bucket list before but will forget that I have it and never add more to the list. Ever since I watched the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, I have been thinking about my life. What I want in my life, What I want to do and how I want to live my life.

So I decided to write my bucket list here and continue adding stuff when I think of it. I also hope I can inspire some to do the same. There are many important things in life, many priorities to take action on but the main priority is your happiness and living your life to the fullest each day. Doing what you love and what you want to do is a bliss.

Many will come into your life and try to steer your mind and heart to another direction. Telling you how to live your life. However, they are wrong. You are the only one who can dictate your life. Never look back and keep on moving forward! You only live once. Don't live your life for others the way they want it to be. You will be miserable like that. Live your life for you and no one else.

You want to climb a mountain, Go ahead!

You want to be an artist, Draw to your hearts content then!

You want to dye your hair a crazy color,  Pink it or Blue it or however! Its your hair~

You want to get a tattoo, then ink it away!

You want to travel, sight see my friend!

The point is there will be time to do the important things. You will always do the important things but always make room to do YOUR things. YOUR wishes and YOUR dreams!

So here is my bucket list:

-- Learn Japanese and Korean
-- Go on a cruise to the Bahamas
-- Travel Europe
-- Go to Disney Land with a group of friends and rent a house
-- Visit Mexico's secret beach
-- Have a road trip
-- Visit all 50 states
-- Go to the karoake (noraebang) in Seoul
-- Go to the Aquarium with my boyfriend
-- Stay at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas
-- Visit the maldives islands
-- Bungee jumping
-- Jet ski
-- Paint balling once
-- Purchase all of my favorite tv shows/movies/dramas/anime
-- Go to K-con
-- Big Bang concert
-- Study abroad
-- Go to Rapids
-- Go to Sixflags
Atlantis Resort

Running Man | Reasons to watch and why you fall for it so fast

I have always loved Running Man <3 I started watching it when it had just started and I followed it every Tuesday. Always staying on top of the episodes and not falling behind. This show is unlike any other show. It has such great members. It shows what a great friendship they have gained throughout the show. It is so funny and fun to watch. Running Man never fails to make me laugh. They make you want to play, run and have fun like them. This show so far has 178 episodes and I have seen them all.

I am such a dedicated fan. I love how Running Man is diverse. They go to other countries and bring all kinds of guests that helps me learn more about the other places and people I didn't know of. I love all their games especially the ones with food and water. On my boyfriend and I YouTube channel, we have a video where we did an event to raise money to bring EatYourKimchi to our University and we played some Running Man games.

The famous game however is the Hide and seek chase game. Which is also one of my favorites. I feel like people who may not even know much about K-pop, Korea or famous people from Korea, if they watch this show they will fall in love immediately. They will be able to learn and slowly fall in love with a different culture.

Each member brings something to the show and they need to all be there in my opinion. It won't be the same if anyone left.

Yoo JaeSuk
Age: 41
Nicknames: Grasshopper, MC of the nation, Yooruce Willis
Famous for: water gun spy ;) , Tight pants, Dancing, Butt ;)
I really love Yoo Jaesuk! He is so funny and kind to everyone. I love when he dances because I just can't stop laughing. ^^ He will always put a smile on my face. He is someone I would really love to meet~ He is also known to always start fights with Kim Jongkook and HAHA. The funniest episodes I think of him was the hunter episodes. And the episode I found him so attractive was when he bungee jumped and he was so brave. It is so funny how different he looks without his glasses. Great person all around!~

Kim Jong Kook
Age: 37
Nicknames: Kookie <3, Sparta Kook, The Commander, Trainer Kook
Famous for: muscles, Tight shirts, Competitive, Lecturing members, Ace
Kim Jong Kook is funny at times and I think he has a very nice smile. To be honest he tires me sometimes with his constant lecturing but I know it would be weird without him. I love when Yoo Jaesuk and Kim Jong Kook argue >.< Kim Jong Kook and Yoo Jaesuk were on a show called Family Outing and they are so funny when they start talking about the previous shows they were on. Sometimes I feel its not fair for him to play some games because he has more of an advantage then the other members. 

Jin Suk-jin
Age: 47
Nicknames: Impala, Big nose Hyung
Famous for: Sunflower hyung, never winning, fighting girls, Loving Jaesuk 
Jin Suk-jin is so funny how he always wants to get Jaesuks attention. I think he is very sweet and adorable. I feel like in the recent episodes he has been improving and staying longer in the games. Its funny how he is always stuck with Kwangsoo and how he only likes to fight the girls that guest star on the show. Sometimes I feel like hugging him when Jaesuk or Jongkook get all sad that they are stuck with him on a team. I am like "ooh no :( Ill hug you! You will be a great teamamate this time!" kekeke ^^  

Ha Dong Hoon
Age: 34
Nicknames: HAHA, Haroro, Harad Pitt
Famous for: Crazy acting, betraying, spy, asking girls to marry him
Haha is very funny at times and also very annoying at times. I feel like he is too loud sometimes.Lol But he is funny when he fights with Jaesuk. He also has such a variety of facial expressions! Most of them are so funny and when I notice his face it is like I am working on my abs~ >.< I love how in the beginning of the show he was one of the kids of Kim Jong Kook ;)

Lee Kwangsoo
Age: 28
Nicknames: Giraffe, Kwangvatar, The framer Kwangsoo
Famous for: Betraying, being tall, being loud, over excessive acting, Kind  
I really like kwangsoo! He is so funny and kind~ He is the Asia Prince after all. ^^ I really like his over excessive acting and always yelling out "Nooo.." So dramatic! His relationship with everyone is so hilarious. I think Kwangsoo is very cute and adorable at times and his facial expressions are just cherry on top. I feel like sometimes the members are too mean to him. I know he starts it but sometimes they go a bit over the top (*cough* Kim Jong Kook) I know they don't mean it but it hurts my heart that Kwangsoo may be hurt :( I want to hug him kekeke :P

Kang Gary
Age: 35
Nicknames: Peaceful Gary, Monday Boyfriend, Gaecholas Cage

Those are the members and each one is needed in the show. They are all great. Running Man has moved me and made my life so much brighter.

Walking with the Dinosaurs

I really love movies about Dinosaurs, Earth, the end of the world, and stuff like that. So when I saw the trailer for this I was really excited because I wanted to see it. I thought it would be a cute and funny animated film. I saw this movie on January 1st with my friend.

As soon as it started it wasn't how I expected it to be at all. I thought it was going to be completely animated so I was really surprised to see actual actors and actress (little girl) in the beginning. They didn't have much of a role. They were in the beginning of the movie and the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The movie begins with a father bringing his children to go find some Dinosaur bones and on their way there they talk about the impressive tooth they have in the car. The little girl is excited to find out more and go dig with her father. The son however feels annoyed and pays attention to his phone and stays behind instead of going with them. They had mentioned in the car how birds are the ancestors of Dinosaurs. That's how it begins. A bird starts talking to the boy and saying how the tooth had a story and a story of a particular Dinosaur.

Now from that point the movie is just completely animations. I thought the animations were pretty impressive. The movie was funny and it was nice to see how everything was put together and how they told the story of how that tooth happened. During the movie they would freeze and name a Dinosaur and tell you if it was a omnivore, herbivore or carnivore. So it was like a movie to inform children about the different types of Dinosaurs.

I liked the movie because it was funny and how they did everything. It really was not what I expected but I think this is a movie you would see at home with children or by yourself instead of on the big screen.

Frozen <3 I have seen that movie three times already.

The Secret life of Walter Mitty

I saw this movie a couple days ago with my mom and grandma. When I first saw the trailer I thought, "It looks good but definitely a house movie." What do I mean by "house movie" is those movies you see that look better to be watched at home. Movies you want to watch but they don't seem that good to watch on the big screen. So instead you would watch it at home for a lot cheaper later on.

My mom really wanted to see a movie and our house was going to be fumigated so we went out. I showed her movie trailers and she decided on The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. When the movie started it was a bit funny. To be honest it was a bit tiring/boring in the beginning after a while for me because he kept day dreaming/zoning out and I just wanted it to move on. That lasted maybe the first 10 minutes of the movie.... I am not good with estimating time but don't worry it moves on right away. The acting was great and once the movie started rolling into the adventures, it was so inspiring and motivating. I got goosebumps and felt such a joy. I really wanted to go out that moment and do something crazy. >.<

I felt like the movie really related to me. It impacted me greatly. It is about a guy who has always lived a simple life. Nothing extraordinary, no adventures and he seemed very shy and awkward at times. He worried about paying off things and he just would go to work. He liked this girl but never had the courage to say anything. It starts off with the whole dating website where he wants to send her a wink but can't because his profile is basically blank. He never stated anything interesting because he didn't think there was nothing to mention. Then because of something about his job and the whole situation of them letting go people, he decides to go and find the thing he needs to go look for to give to his boss. I don't want to spoil to much because I would love for you to all check it out. ^^ Because of that small mishap for work he started LIVING and enjoying life. He daydreamed a lot in the beginning of doing crazy stunts and stuff because he never actually did that. It was like he always daydreamed his life as a movie. He wanted to do all that but thought he couldn't. That is why I feel like it impacted me so much. I would daydream like that too. Daydream myself doing cool stunts, being spy, a singer, traveling, saving the world... Its like our way of having a pretend adventure. I think a lot of us do that. But its fake LIVING because we are not really LIVING the life. So I liked how in the movie he slowly stops day dreaming/zoning out because he is having his adventure and living his life. That just gave me such a rush. A passion to go do something I never would do or be able to do.

This movie was amazing and super inspiring. Lets live crazy!

In the movie Walter was given a wallet with a saying that was just so inspiring. The movie was very funny when he was on his adventures! It was a beautiful movie overall! The ending was beautiful and I actually never thought of it to be that.

I really recommend this movie! It really will inspire you to live your life. You live only once. Enjoy it~ It was worth to be seen in the Big screen. :)

WINNER TV

WINNER is a new boy group from the YG company <3 Papa YG ~ ^^ I love that company so much... Big Bang <3 2NE1 <3 Anyways, WINNER won on the show WIN! I have heard of the show and saw articles about it but I never really checked it out.

Now that I told you a little about that, lets move on! WINNER TV is a tv show just for WINNER and it lets fans follow them on their journey of debuting, growing and so much more. :) I had nothing to do at 9 PM yesterday night and my boyfriend was playing his games so I started looking at my favorite website to look at for shows. I scrolled down and noticed that they uploaded episodes for WINNER TV. I got curious and clicked on it just to pass some time until my bf will finally notice me instead of wizards, and what not on his screen.

The entire time I could not stop laughing, smiling, blushing (I don't know... I just felt hot... these boys... oooh baby Caliente!) and having small seizure attacks because they made me be such a girl.!

I fell for them instantly! They were so funny, dorky, cute, talented and it was very interesting to see. They made me want to know more about them. I look forward to seeing more from them. I can tell you that I am already in love with Jinwoo and he is mine <3

                                                                         
                                                                                Best group pic I can get. They look good <3 

New hair cut

So I got a new hair cut today~ I did layers and ironed it! :) Today was such a long day and it was spent mainly at the salon. I definitely did not workout because my hair is so beautiful and I don't want to sweat and ruin it.

Today is almost over and I think I will spend my time playing or watching anime or dramas. Hope you like it! I also see a big difference in my body. I just need to work harder to see bigger results.

Day 31: 01/02/14 Books and cute Asian babies

So the second day of the new year. ~ I had to wake up early to go to the Hospital because of some family reasons. I spent most of my day there :( However, I got to taste such a magical drink! For the first time I had Lemon brewed tea ~ It was delicious! I had a small sub for lunch at the cafeteria and I got to spend some time with my cousins daughter. She is so cute! She kept kissing me all day^^

I brought a book to read while I was there to keep me alive and functioning so it prevented me from dying of boredom. I eventually did die of boredom, however. :( I love reading books and I just can't leave my house without bringing one to read in my spare time. I also finally got a small bookcase to place my books. Super happy how it looks and I still need to organize more.

For dinner, I had potato soup that I had made. It was very delicious and not salty like the one I made a long time ago. As for my workout that day, I danced like a maniac. ;)

Day 30: 12/31 Happy New year!, Banana Chia Seed pancakes and a whole lot of dancing

Happy New Year Everybody! Hope you had a good one~ What is your New Year resolution?

Mine is to enjoy my life since I live only one life and to be a lot healthier.

So I started off the last day of December with the long awaited Banana Chia pancakes. It was a lot harder to do than I thought. Most of them came out so ugly :( So I took a picture of the only one that looks alright. I also had a large glass of Cucumber water. For lunch, I had some yummy tomato soup~ I have been eating a lot of soup lately. ^^

For dinner, it was at my older brothers house and I had a yummy feast. I didn't workout in my room like I normally do but I won't say I didn't workout. I danced like crazy at the party and I was sweating like a cow!! So I believe that was my workout for the day.

Here are some pics of that night ~ How was your party? The next day I woke up super tired and sore from dancing in heels. I had chilled on the first day of January 2014. Then I went to go see a movie with my friend. It has been a good start of 2014. I will do two movie posts a bit later.

Day 29: 12/30 Sore day/rest day

I didn't workout because  I was really sore and to think about it I never officially posted "rest days" lol So I didn't work out but instead I kept searching healthy recipes I can add to my daily meals. While doing that, I decided to make the Banana Chia seed pancakes the next day for breakfast.
I have noticed lately I send my time looking at workout videos and stuff I can do to tone my body. For dinner I had a small amount of rice and beans with my steak and onions. I can't remember what was for lunch and I had skipped breakfast.
I also looked at more body types I would like to achieve and Lee Hyori is the one. I think her body is in good shape. She is now on my motivation list.
