Konnichiwa minasan! I have read the latest chapter, chapter 66 of KWMS. Wow, it is an interesting chapter. I like the most of this chapter is the part that Usui  kissed Misaki. Wow, a sudden kiss from the lover. So SWEET!!! :P

Happy 11.11.11

Today is 11.11.11. It happens once in a century. According to the Chinese pop culture, 11.11 is also known as the 'Singles Day', 'One's Day' or 'Guang Gun Jie' (光棍节; pinyin: guāng gùn jié). This is the Chinese pop culture holiday for people who are still living the single life.



Singles' Day was initially celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, literally the southern capital city (of China), during the 1990s, and originated from Nanjing University in 1993. It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four "ones". These college students have since graduated, and carried the university tradition into society. The Singles Day has been largely popularized in the Internet era and is now a special day for all fashionable youths.

The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it's important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold 'blind date' parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.

For breakfast on Singles' Day, singles often eat four Youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one Baozi (steamed stuffed bun) representing the middle dot.

Some singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day: many attend 'blind date' parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning 'single,' the four 'ones' of the date can also mean 'only one' as in 'the only one for me.' Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only 'one' in their heart.

I know that many people would have their wedding on today as it is a memorable day for having six "1". Anyway, I am wishing all of you to have a Happy 11.11.11. May God bless you all have a Peace World. :)

Investigation of the Unsolved Cases -- Poseidon

Hello! I am watching an exciting Korean drama called "Poseidon" currently. It is showing on the KBS channel of Astro (channel 391) on every Monday and Tuesday night from 9pm - 10:10pm. The story of this drama is about the Korean Coast Guards. Guess what?! The lead actor of "Poseidon" is one of the members of Super Junior, Choi Si-Won. :P

This drama is the story of the members life savers of the coast guard. The drama is based on the special duties of the Korean Coast Guard officers (rescues, terrorism threats, and other special missions) and also their obstacle in life and love. The drama takes its name from the Poseidon Team, a special forces unit of the Marines. Using the strong bonds of humanity as a basis, and through the challenges faced by the protagonists and their spirit of self-sacrifice, the drama movingly shows the significance of life and the stories of how people overcome obstacles in life.

Title         : Poseidon / 海神号/波塞冬
Genre      : Drama, Action, Romance

Story        :
A worldwide criminal syndicate known as Heugsahoe exists. Their boss is Choi Hee-Gon.
In 2008, the leader of the Intelligence Investigation Team of the Maritime Police, Kwon Jung-Ryool (Lee Sung-Jae), forms a secret investigation team to capture crime boss Choi Hee-Gon.

Soon, a policewoman who investigates Seon-Woo is killed. It's clear the the woman's murder was committed by crime boss Choi Hee-Gon, but evidence is still lacking for his arrest. Finally, the undercover operation is abandoned.
2011 - 3 years later, Jung-Ryool appears obsessed with his job ... trying to forget the guilt he feels over the death of his wife. With the help of Hyun Hae-Jung (Jin Hee-Kyung) and a director of the maritime police, Jung-Ryool forms another special investigation team. To avoid the attention of others inside the maritime police and crime boss Choi Hee-Gon, the special investigation team is disguised as the #9 investigation team which is responsible for unsolved cases.
Seon-Woo has been demoted to the country maritime police office in Gunsan City. There, Seon-Woo busts an illegal trafficking organization and runs off with their smuggled goods. Seon-Woo now becomes a fugitive. This is part of Jung-Ryool and Seon-Woo's master plan to catch Choi Hee-Gon. They hope to go through middle man Jung Deok-Soo, nicknamed Popeye.

The lead actor, Choi Si-won looks very cool in this drama. For me, he looks a bit like the Taiwanese singer Leehom Wang. Overall, I think he is a good-looking guy. As for the lead actress, Lee Si-Young, I think she looks very cute and they act as a couple in "Poseidon" and it looks a cute couple for me for both of them. I enjoy watching this drama as it is a fast paced and detective. FYI, This drama is from the director of "All In" and the writer of "Iris".
