Points to Ponder

1. Can you cry under water?

2. How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

3. Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

4. Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

5. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

6. What disease did cured ham actually have?

7. How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

8. Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

9. If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

10. Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

11. Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

12. Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

13. Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

14. Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

15. If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?

16. Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

17. If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

18. Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

19. Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs

20. If Wyle E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

21. If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

22. If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

23. Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

24. Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

25. Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

26. Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window?

Hello everybody, this is the Cloud Master.

Today, I'll like to tell everybody about your benefits in the Seoul concert and Singapore concert which everybody is so concerned about.

First of all, it's the first of Rain's World Concert Tour, held in Seoul at the Olympic Park Stadium on the 14th and 15th December.

Benefits to official fanclub members in the Seoul Concert.

Official fanclub members of Rain can follow the below date and instructions to purchase tickets on a first come first serve basis before the tickets go on public sale.

For the Seoul concert, fans can pre-purchase tickets on the 31st Oct and 1st Nov. There will not be additional dates other than these two days.
Tickets cannot be cancelled past the official announced date for ticket cancellation.
Please take note of this point.

Please take note of the following content carefully. We hope everybody can enjoy the benefits of being an official Rain fanclub member:

First and foremost, below message is from the organiser, Star M, and the Supervising company, Net Work Live:

"Very grateful to fans who have been waiting for the pre-order. We're also very that the content of our announcement has been changing. The cost of the concert has increased due to changes in stage design and systems. It is with little choice that we raise the ticket prices. We hope to obtain your understanding:

---------------

1. Fan-Assigned Sections
- Rain section- 1st floor (floor standing): 1500 tickets
- Rain section- 2nd floor (sitting), section 11 front-facing: 128 tickets
These sections are especially for those who hope to have a seat.

2. Special Discount for Members
- Ticket price for Rain section: 160,000 won (excludes 10% tax)
- After tax it's 176,000 won (160,000 won + 16,000 won). Members get a 10% discount.

---------------

1. Korean Residents
- Phase 4 Clouds, Phase 5 Clouds of the Korean fanclub only needs to pay 158,400 won after 10% discount. You can pay via i-banking.

2. Overseas Members
- International fanclub "The Cloud" and the Japanese fanclub, Cloud Japan will need to pay 3.8% credit card charges and 5% internet transaction fees in addition to discounted price of 158,400 won. That maks 158,400 won + 5% + 3.8% =174,000 won.

*The internet transaction fee is paid to the website company of JYPE AHEBU. Overseas Clouds will beed to pay about 150% of handling charges if they choose to pay using i-banking. Hence, JYPE has decided to use the same method employed during Cloud Registration for payment. The additional 5% fee is because previously during the Cloud registration, the sum collected were membership fees, which were non-profit in nature. However, the concept this time is different. Hence, the additional 5% is a choice made by JYPE in view of lessening the amount payable for everybody. We hope the overseas members can understand this.

3. Seat Sections

Phase 4 Clouds, Phase 5 Clouds, The Cloud, Cloud Japan

Presently, there are 109 Singapore Cloud members.
In the 200 seats mentioned above, 109 seats will be apportioned to these members.
The remaining 91 seats will be apportioned to Cloud Korea and non-Singaporean members of The Cloud.

In the diagram below, there are 100 seats in each of the two categories. Phase 5 Clouds and Singapore Clouds will enjoy the same privileges. The remaining seats will then be apportioned to the rest of the countries in The Cloud. (We are still in the midst of discussing details. More information will be released along with purchase details)
(With regards to Cloud Japan members, because the number of seats in the Singapore concert is too little, so we are unable to give you benefits. We apologise for this)

The ticket order on 30th Oct is only open to Singapore Clouds. The rest of the tickets will go for pre-ordering on the 11th November.

Hence, the 200 tickets allocated to official fanclub members will be released for pre-order on the 11th Nov, before the commencement of public ticket sales. We will release details in due time.

However, to members who only joined the Cloud during the extended period, due to lack of time, we are unable to extend the benefits to you for this Singapore concert. We hope you understand. You will be able to enjoy the privileges of your membership for all concerts after the Singapore one.

Thank you!

'Anti-fans' force managers to increase stars' security

Overzealous attention from obsessive fans is something that celebrities have to endure. But the recent attack on popular Korean boy band member U-know with a glue-laden drink has startled Korea's entertainment world.

What alarms entertainers and their managers is that incidents aimed at actors have become more common and life-threatening.

What was once written off as a simple prank from young "anti-fans" has become a threat to the health and lives of performers. Most celebrity agencies now view the situation as so alarming that they have reportedly told their stars "not to eat or drink anything other than what their agents provide them".

A staffer from an entertainment agency, who talked on the condition he not be identified, said he never delivered gifts of food or drink sent by fans because he was afraid some of them could be poisoned.

It has taken time for the entertainment industry to move up to such draconian measures.

In 2000, the actress Yoon Eun-hye was attacked by a male anti-fan who shot her in the eyes with a water gun filled with a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar. Her agency claimed that the suspect must have wanted to blind her, but she refused to report him to the police after she discovered her injuries were minor.
In the same year, another anti-fan sent a detergent-laden drink to the home of one the boy-band stars. It was disguised as a gift. The singer did not drink it, but one of his family member did, and was hospitalized after complaining of severe stomach pains.

Gan Mi-yeon, a member of the all-girl pop band Baby VOX, went to the police for help in 1999 after she received an envelope full of razor blades. A rumor had spread that she was dating Moon Hui-jun, a singer from the male dance group H.O.T. Apparently, one of his younger fans sent her the envelope out of jealousy.
The singer Lee Jeong-hyeon received text messages threatening that she would be "killed if you meet him". "He" was the singer Jo Sung-mo, who starred with her in a television commercial as a dating couple.

The case of a veteran singer, Na Hun-a, was even more serious. He was slashed with a knife on his cheek while he was singing on stage. He still has a scar left on his left cheek.

The actress Do Ji-won was kidnapped by a fanatic fan and confined inside a car trunk for five hours.

For some time now, the agencies say, the only safe way to prevent such attacks is to keep their stars far out of reach of their fans.

A True Friend

Another nice message I want to share:

You'll never find a perfect




Friend in me...............





Coz' what makes me Human





is my imperfection ...........





But one thing is for sure .......................





I'll be your Friend forever.................................





Although not perfect ....................................






But REAL ................................... :)

A Friend's Note

Just want to share this nice text (SMS) message I got from a friend. I answered back right after I received this message and was surprised that she really meant what it said.

"A friend is never a coincidence in your life, they are meant to enter you life to bring you joy and laughter, they will never grow tired if you always feel down, instead will lend a shoulder to cry on. Will not tell you to be strong but will be strong for you when you feel down, will not let go but instead will hold on to the very end. If time comes that you must part ways, just a single note that you need my help I will always be there for you at once. Coz you're not just anyone/someone to me, you're a Friend that I chose to have for life"

Nice right, I am a ham for this kind of note. Makes me feel so lucky to have a friend like her. They're the silent type, and yet they will make you feel that you're somebody far more worth that the help that you can give them. When we were still working together, just one look, she would know what you feel and will tell you not just to hang on but will say I am here. Love you Anne, I know you read my blog. Will treasure as well. Let's touch base one these days. Take care.

Influential talent management agencies from both Korea and abroad are expected to install booths at the festival to promote their actors.
A person from Star-J Entertainment said that promotional activities of hallyu stars overseas that were unofficially held so far had multiple negative effects, but this event will hopefully pave the way for official and transparent business.

Rain’s World Premier Tour Begins in Seoul - The Korea Times 10-Oct-2006

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia
Staff Reporter

Rain, known as Pi in Korean, is undoubtedly one of the biggest K-pop stars nowadays. It’s no wonder that around 40,000 fans, with almost a fourth from other countries, are expected to attend the premiere of his world concert tour at Jamsil Stadium, Seoul on Friday.

Fans from Japan, China, United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines are expected to show their support for Rain.

The free concert coincides with the release of Rain’s fourth album on Friday. Rain gained popularity also as an actor throughout Asia in the hit drama ``Full House.’’

Rica Valera, a caterer from Manila, Philippines, is traveling to Seoul with a bunch of friends to watch the concert. She and her friends arranged their Korean vacation to coincide with Rain’s concert.

``I have seen Rain perform live in Hong Kong for his showcase and in Bangkok for the last leg of his Rainy Day Tour and he exceeded all expectations. I'm just hoping to see him enjoy his performance. I don’t want to be stressed and pressured by placing high expectations on Rain,’’ Valera told The Korea Times.

Gina Wong, an accounts executive from Singapore, said she is looking forward to a great performance by Rain. ``I’m not sure what to expect, but I know Rain will be great,’’ she said.

The Oct. 13 concert is seen as a preview for Rain’s upcoming world tour ``Rain’s Coming,’’ which will officially kick off in Seoul on Dec. 15 (www.rainworldtour.com). He is expected to perform songs from his latest album.

For his concert, Rain has tapped prominent concert production people such as stage director Jaime King, who has choreographed dance moves for Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera; lighting specialist Roy Bennett; and visual director Dago Gonzalez.

StarM, the entertainment agency organizing the concert, has even coordinated with travel agencies from different countries to make it easier for fans to come to Korea and watch the show.

The price of the Rain concert package tours varies. For instance in Hong Kong, a travel agency is offering a special Rain concert package which includes airfare, hotel accommodations, VIP tickets to the concert and a tour of the ``Full House’’ set, for HK$4,599 or roughly 560,000 won.

In Japan, there is a special dinner and concert package for 148,000 yen or roughly 1.19 million won, and a concert-only package which starts a 84,000 yen or 675,000 won.

The show will start at 7 p.m., with opening acts Paran, Popin Hyungjoon, NOW and Lim Jeong-hee.

Next year, Rain is expected to take his concert tour to 35 cities in 12 countries, namely the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Rain is also quite busy these days, after finishing his first movie ``Cyborg Girl’’ directed by Park Chan-wook. He is also preparing an English album to be released in the U.S. next year.

Last February, he held two sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He was also named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World this year.

No Rest for the Busy Bi

Lantern Festival, Final Showcase Rehearsal

Asian Star, Rain, has finally completed his preparation work for the 4th album launch. He is presently sweating to prepar for his World Tour Premier.

Rain will be holding the press conference for his fourth album on the 11th of this month. He will be disclosing some news on the songs in his 4th album which is soon to be released on the 13th of this month, as well as the concepts of his World Concert Tour.

Rain, who had been thinking about his stage concepts whenever he had a break from filming his first movie, "I'm a Cyborg, but it's Ok" formally commence preparation for his stage performance during end-August, when filming of the movie finally came to a conclusion. Mid-September, he flew to LA for half a month, where he completed his dance practise and stage setup with Jamie King.

Right after US, he flew to Hong Kong to attend the branch opening ceremony of DHC, the makeup brand which he is endorsing. Thereafter, he has been throwing himself into the preparation for his World Concert Tour. Even for the Autumn festival, he merely had a simple ceremonial celebration with his family on the day itself before continuing with his practise.

In particular, his rehearsal will commence on the 8th, which is also the last day of this long festival holiday. For the sake of a perfect stage performance, there can be no moment of laxing for Rain up to the day before his showcase.

Additionally, Rain, who is releasing his 4th album on the 13th this month has completed his recording and preparation work. He has completed the filming of his MV for his album's feature song, "I'm Coming", which is based in Taean Peninsula. After his showcase on the 13th, he will kick off a series of promotional performance and live broadcast activities, starting from the MBC "Show, Music Centre" on the 14th, and a SBS music programme on the 15th.

here's the lyrics and vid of tears sung by kim dong wan...




TEARS
lyrics / music by Yoshiki
 
何処に行けばいい 贵方と离れて
今は过ぎ去った时流に问い褂けて
长すぎた夜に 旅立ちを梦见た
异国の空见つめて 孤独を抱きしめた
流れる泪を 时代の风に重ねて
终わらない贵方の 吐息を感じて
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

Loneliness your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory you never let me cry
And you You never say GOOD-BYE

Sometimes our tears blined the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But I never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone

Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love ever lasting fades away
Alive within your beatless heart
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

流れる泪を 时代の风に重ねて
终わらない悲しみを 青い蔷薇に变えて
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

流れる泪を 时代の风に重ねて
终わらない贵方の 吐息を感じて
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

If you could have told me everything
You would have found what love is
If you could have told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way
Someday I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
For now I will try to love for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams,
and forever with tears
