Pedra da Gávea

139. Our Unwritten Seoul

 KDrama no. 139 - Uma Seul Desconhecida ***

SPOILER

As gêmeas costumam trocar de lugar uma com a outra quando as coisas estão difíceis. Na história, todos sofrem, o tempo todo tem alguém chorando. São poucos os risos, muitas considerações internas, questionamentos introspectivos. Como elas não dão detalhes do que está realmente acontecendo naquele momento, o sofrimento é maior. Teria sido importante se conversassem. Mas assim é. 

Entram no enredo o crush da infância, que está perdendo a audição, uma graça de garoto, advogado muito íntegro, que prefere ficar desempregado a fazer coisas escusas. Um herdeiro de uma plantação de morangos precisa de mão de obra, contrata uma das meninas e se envolve com ela.

Tem o ambiente tóxico de escritório, grandes corporações, as maldades dos colegas, as sacanagens dos chefes e patrões, os interesses políticos, a procura por seu lugar ao sol, o sofrimento da perda de entes queridos. Tudo muito complexo.

Eu preferia não recomendar, mas se não há alternativa, pelo menos passa o tempo.

TGIF - Lee Jun-Ho

  In 2018, this blog started to post on Fridays only photos and teasers about beautiful men in a protest to the unflattering ones with women that our husbands, boyfriends, partners or friends exchange among themselves. Interested in the whole collection? Click here!

É sempre bom lembrar o intuito destas postagens de sextas-feiras, intituladas Thank God Is Friday - TGIF: nossos queridos amigos, namorados, maridos e outros que tais repassam entre si fotos, como dizer?, nada abonadoras ao sexo feminino, com as quais eles se divertem descaradamente. As imagens aqui colocadas são a vingancinha, com muita classe, que nós, garotas, nos permitimos. Divirtam-se e vejam a coleção toda clicando aqui!

 

What is Love?

 

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8-year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore... So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.' Rebecca - age 8

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.' Billy - age 4

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.' Karl - age 5

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.' Chrissy - age 6

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' Terri - age 4

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.' Danny - age 8

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.' Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.' Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

 'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.' Noelle - age 7

 'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.' Tommy - age 6

 'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

 He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.' Cindy - age 8

'My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.' Clare - age 6

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' Elaine - age 5

 'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.' Chris - age 7

 'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.' Mary Ann - age 4

'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.' Lauren - age 4

 'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image!) Karen - age 7

 'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross...' Mark - age 6

 'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' Jessica - age 8

And the final one: The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'

Rio de Janeiro, Gosto de Você

 I was born with this view. What a privilege! Botafogo bay. At the time it was the State of Guanabara.

 Nasci com esta vista. Privilegiada, eu! Enseada de Botafogo. Na época, estado da Guanabara.

138. My Sassy Girl

 KDrama no. 138 - Uma garota atrevida **

SPOILER

Ela é uma princesa rebelde - até a página 5, porque daí em frente, não demonstra essa independência toda. Ele é um erudito, professor do irmãozinho dela, que vai se meter em confusões para desvencilhá-la das bagunças em que se mete. O rei está em segundas núpcias com uma mulher ambiciosa que quer se livrar dos três: do pai, dela e do enteado. Apenas distrai. Aliás, sou grande admiradora do vestuário nos doramas de época, só que neste exageraram na opulência das roupas dos ricos, tudo muito rebuscado.
