Altfel nu mi-e clar daca JDH a decis ca, pe langa cariera, sa-si mai aranjeze si fata...

Secret Love Affair (밀회) - Her Letter (English version)

For you things may be easy, but I will be the one who will pay for this sin in my next life. Because I answered to your love , people will make me to pay for it in this life. For this I'm afraid. For you.  For us.  Forgive me because I am greedy… I want all that I have and something more … I want you.

Every day you've teach me something. From me own being was molded another one, vulnerable with fragile ankles and soft knees. I face new overwhelming sensations, that I live intensely and I enjoy them until their last breath. I look for clock whose ticking I want to stop it, to keep the joy of thought and to stop looking for time-relativity meaning...

Time…. put on pan balance measure my years, it presses my shoulders and I feel how my life is running through the hourglass. You're the one who had the courage to brake it, spreading his discharge in thousands of fragments. I often locked myself in my own brain and just as many times I refused to get out of there. But temptations make me touch things in this world without having to think. Only time zero is priceless. And find no equation to apply my consciousness ...

We could live in a timeless disguise? To kill time? I started out by stabbing the present and throw myself into the arms of the future. I want to bite. Powerful. Demonic. I want to bite from the love who leaking. Both breathe at night, hiding in it, to remain deaf to what is beyond, thirsty, sip avidly, to drown in it , losing control...

I love it when the night watching on us, it vibrates in us and twitching in the sheets with traces of sin. Sleeping near the love candle whom I dropped on your chest. To get you out of your mind until the last breath of ecstasy and taste you again in the dawn light.

I love you so wrong and imperfect ... Innocently, naively, you anchored in your universe and you love me like no one else did. You left me to believe that perfection can exist somewhere on a mattress in a certain room. You broke my heart and then fed me with your love ...

Still crying. For I have not forgiven all demons and fight with times of my life. It seems that present is mocking me I should not give a damn about the past ... But the past overwhelms me, this would bury me and will put obstacles in the future. And I'm afraid. Shadows of the past include present, without giving a chance to the future. Because I might wake up the hell from love . And because I am greedy… I want all that I have and something more … I want you. Because you left me to believe that perfection can exist somewhere ...

Secret Love Affair (밀회) - His Letter (English version)

Never let me fall in the night that stars forgot to shine. Get me, fully hug me, let me naked of my thoughts and cover me with you. Let your soul surrounds me with arms of love, drop the veil of desire, show me your love, and allow the secrets of passion to embrace you.

Let me caress your silky hair, let me learn your equal and gentle rhythm of breathing, let me get drunk with the scent of your skin … Kiss my lips that recognize you and whisper you so well that I can reinvent you from my thoughts, tears,  passion, and longing and love ...

Read my eyes and respond me with your lips. Sip my whispers before being spoken. Empty me off you and fill my thirst. Heaven and earth, water and fire are one ... I want to send you every one of my thoughts, to be able to understand every smile of yours who crash deep inside me like a wave, always knowing you there, to be your start and your end ...crowded thoughts running and breaking my silence, while you sleep in there shade when time is no longer measured...

In the morning, carefully gather me from your dusty thoughts and breathe me easily ... Let me show you the first ray of sunshine through my eyes. For a moment, for a moment only, to fly together far from reality... And just for a moment for you to be me, to live with my soul, to feel my heart bit, to watch through my eyes... to understand how hard it is living without you ...

Among the blink of my eyelashes I see white butterflies dancing... To tell you how much I love you?... Totally and eternally. I love you without words, in every second, in anxiety, in pain. Honest and courageous. I love you because I had you in reality, in my dreams, in my ideals… but that was too short. We have not finished our dance of life.

Secret Love Affair (밀회) - Love letter (English version)

Fate doesn’t give you any notice or warning. We live in a continuous present and the time is getting shorter and shorter until the end…. Rich or poor, our spirits travel in this life with hope that we can find the code to the safe. Can we tell what’s inside?

Our World is shaken and our quiet corner is assaulted ... Our infected souls, apparently numb, bewildered, seeking their true nature, are groping in search of perfection. We're here, I’m dumped not far from your thoughts and you are wandering through mine… Our Inside is an explosion of questions, dreams, fears ... We should stop searching for our beauty, for our love, for ourselves …. We already found us!

A quiet game… our quiet game...we feel and live forbidden feelings, hidden passions.  It's like a revelation. We blindly sign a life check to keep this magic and unique moment. We fumble in the dark, prisoners of a limited consciousness. We stayed on the edge of the abyss, old traumas rocking us in their will. Now, we  ask ourselves how much courage do we need to jump with confidence into it.

We're two birds with broken wings; still together we could fly…Two troubled souls, tired to look for the right path...And all of this until you and I become us, because you're half of me and I'm half of you.  Fate ... Divine Plan ... It pushes us into this abyss. So far we have lived an illusion, past still keeps us prisoners of our lack of knowledge.

It's never too early, because it may be too late. Universe gone crazy and seems to have lost his balance. Scared, with trembling knees, we fear that we would leave this world carrying with us the wealth found in the next life. Is this a must? Beyond those waves of mess the important thing is that we found each other in this overwhelming and perfect time.

We are used to live in fear, with eyes closed and ears covered we run in the opposite direction and live a life in fear under the burden of social identity.But our substance is itself the energy of love. Let's throw our masks… Let’s be ourselves and find our true essence…Let’s expand our dreams and go beyond them. The sky speaks to us through his sparkle drops and I miss hearing the echo of your heart. There is never less from too much. Let’s start our journey together and fade away...

Blue Midnight Color of Kpop (VIII)

Bajbaim in noaptea albastra  cautand acel necuprins care sa ne cuprinda toate iubirile, in care sa incapa toate golurile pe care le-am vrea implinite. Faramitam trecutul, il reciclam, in speranta ca intelesurile, aducerile aminte, iluziile fantomatice, agoniile descantate la lumina lunii, pierzania, greselile noastre consemnate si contabilizate... toate vor striga in fata portii numita Speranta. Doar ecoul mut, contorsionat in strafundul inimii le va raspunde...

Intr-o mare de albastru, intr-o unire fecunda, supliciul desavarsirii in chinuri zamisleste noi crampeie albastre. O farama de durere, un parg subtire, aproape invizibil, intre cadere si inaltare in tanguitoarele abisuri pustiite de singuratate...
Rascolim infrigurati prin maruntaiele gandurilor si neputinciosi asteptam ca a umbelor chemare sa ingane asfintitul cu noaptea. Cu privirile incetosate, cu inimile vlaguite ne afundam mai tare, mai adanc, orbecaind dupa un albastru stralucitor, ne lasam dusi de val spre nicaieri fara sa inotam inspre un mal...

Nimic nu are sens, intelesurile se risipesc precum confetiile purtate de vant... Degeaba duram timpului sufletul brazdat de amar, candorile spiritului mustesc de tristete, singuratatii ii vorbim despre insingurare... Amalgamul albastru ne poarta haotic prin viata si respiram durere...
Viata ne este Raiul si Iadul deopotriva. Incercam sa ne ridicam din adancuri, dar dincolo de noi haul ne tine prizonieri ai propriilor demoni care ranjesc had la nenascuta noastra moarte. Ne pierdem in noaptea albastra cautand acel necuprins care sa ne cuprinda toate iubirile, in care sa incapa toate golurile pe care le-am vrea implinite...

Si-am incalecat pe-o sa si-am mai spus o minunata poveste albastra asa...

Ganduri dedicate lui Kim Hyun Joong, in speranta ca va avea forta de a se regasi pe sine

Kim Hyun Joong - de la baiatul-floare la idolul bataus?

Pe 22 august, cand Dispatch a lansat prima oara stirea ca idolul Kim Hyun Joong si-ar fi agresat fizic prietena, multa lume a ramas consternata. Frumosul, delicatul Hyun Joong sa fie in stare de asa ceva? Inclusiv eu am gandit ca e o moda acum, cum sa mai faca bani femeile care se invart in jurul celebritatilor, deseori neglijate, deseori inselate, deseori tinute in umbra ca nu cumva fanii sa fie dezamagiti ca adoratii lor sunt deja cuplati.
Daca in cazul lui Park Si Hoo circumstantele si dovezile au fost cusute cu ata, de data aceasta lucrurile sunt evidente. Deseori cautam scuze, idolul e si el om, dar un Om nu procedeaza asa. Departe de a stii exact ceea ce s-a intamplat, de ce ea a stat cu el in ciuda agresiunilor fizice, de ce el nu i-a dat papucii daca se saturase de ea, de ce... multe "de ce"-uri care nu-si au raspuns, pentru noi toti este evident ca in spatele poleitului Hallyu sunt multe drame, multe lacrimi, multe, multe povesti murdare.
In timp de KHJ isi continua turneul mondial "Fantasy" in Thailanda, agentia lui, Key East Entertainment, a dat un comunicat abiguu, spunand ca femeia si-a rupt coastele cand se jucau, admitand doar ca au existat divergente intre cei doi si ca abuzul fizic a fost singular. ""Dupa confirmare, am constatat ca este adevarat faptul ca cele doua parti s-au cunoscut in anul 2012, dar relatia lor nu a început pana in urmă cu cateva luni ... In mijlocul relatiei lor, cei doi au avut un schimb intens de cuvinte. Desi este adevarat ca in avalansa de trairi emotionale lucrurile au capatat o turnura fizica, nu este adevarat ca ar fi existat agresiuni fizice continue sau ca ea a fost batuta in ultimele doua luni, asa cum a fost raportat" (http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/08/kim-hyun-joongs-agency-releases-official-statement-concerning-assault-charge-by-girlfriend)
Dispatch a sapata adanc, aducand dovezi despre relatia celor doi si despre agresiunea fizica.

Sectia de politie Songpa, unde a fost depusa plangerea, inclusiv rapoartele medicale, a comunicat ca Kim Hyun Joong va fi citiat pentru interogatoriu. Lucrurile nu stau prea bine, caci un apropiat de-al lor ar fi declarat: "Problemele cu femeile au crescut si s-au transformat in atacuri… In ultimele doua luni au existat batai, scuze si iertari". (http://www.hellokpop.com/news/police-to-question-kim-hyun-joong-for-allegedly-assaulting-his-girlfriend/)

Finalul i-l las Mihaelei Bujanovschi: "si eu cred ca a daca s-a ajuns pana aici principalii vinovati sunt toti cei din jurul lui care i-au alimentat narcisismul si dirijat viata, inclusiv sanatatea. A fost un copil cu o educatie lacunara dar care a iubit muzica din toate celulele sale. Canta la vreo 3 instrumente Si-a confirmat valoarea in formatia SS501. Nu stie geografie, nu stie limbi straine probabil nu stie ce e normalitatea la care visa asa de mult. E greu de judecat relatia lor dupa niste sms-uri. Nu stiu daca fata a ales cea mai buna metoda. Daca perioada ei de suferinta e mult mai mare si daca a incercat sa faca ceva pentru el si nu a mers, e de inteles reactia ei. Este INCREDIBIL ce deziluzie traiesc. Acest incident si-a pus amprenta zilele astea peste tot ce inseamna k-idol pentru mine."
