Entering the end of January....
2011/01/24   DA staff T

Hello~ This is Digital Adventure Staff T!
As usual it the weather has been cold, how is everyone doing?
Recently at Digital Adventure office, people who are wearing mask for prevention of influenza are noticeable. (I’m taking it easy so no mask for me ^^; laughs)
Everyone please be careful not to catch a cold.

By the way!!
「Kim Hyun Joong’s blog」has been updated last week, have everyone seen it already?
There is a handwritten message from Hyun Joong right♪
I feel that even the illustration of God of Universe gives the Hyun Joong feeling (laughs)
All of the staff smiled when they see the illustration~ Surely everyone felt the same right? (^ω^)

Recently Hyun Joong has been preparing the new album, meeting friends which he wasn’t able to meet up as he was busy till now, having a good sleep, slowly spending his time.
Same as everyone, I am also looking forward to what the new album will be~(^∀^)

Well, on a change of topic, it has been decided that for the next month’s present will be an autographed photo of Hyun Joong!!
Autographed photo of chic style and wonderful Hyun Joong, waiting for all of your applications♪

In addition, due to good response,「Kim Hyun Joong Fortune Telling」which was opened during 1st ~3rd January will be opened again from February!!
It will not be just the daily fortune telling but also a wonderful Hyun Joong wallpaper for download☆
Hope that you will enjoy it～(*´∀`*)

Till then, see you again at the next staff blog～(^∀^)ﾉｼ

==============================================
In case u are wondering what "fortune telling" the staff was talking about...
During 1st-3rd Jan, they have this section where you click in to see the fortune for the day.
In Japan they have this thing called "Omikuji" which is like drawing lots.
Different places have different ways of drawing the lots.
The fortune are categorised in a few like...

大吉－Execellent Good Fortune
吉－Good Fortune
小吉－Lesser Good Fortune
末吉－Not So-Good Fortune
(sorry for the direct trans.. lol.. for those who understand chinese shouldn't have any problem understanding it.. ^^)

Anyway... during that time, I only remembered to try it out on one of the day...
So... I got this... (^_^;)
Guess my luck ain't that good on that day... ^^

Kim Hyun Joong participated in the public filming of DATV Charity program 「Message To Asia」 at Tokyo Dome in December. Recently, his activities as an actor stands out but this time at this event, he sang the theme song in japanese and it has been a while since he appeared on stage as a singer showing his charm.
“It really has been a while since I’m able to appear as a singer and I’m very happy. Also it was meaningful to me to be able to sing the theme song. To be able to sing in front of everyone, I myself enjoyed it. I thought that it’s really great to be able to join such a good event at the end of the year. I feel that the year 2010 has end off well.”

Looking back at Kim Hyun Joong in 2010, the first that comes to mind is the drama 「Playful Kiss」. In his earlier drama 「Boys Over Flowers」, he acted as F4 which is played by 4 members but this time Kim Hyun Joong plays the leading role. Therefore he has more appearance in scenes and during filming he hardly has any time to sleep.
“Filming was really tough. Stress has been piling up and there was no time to reduce that stress. So there isn’t any way to relieve stress (laughs)”

Even after the filming of 「Playful Kiss」, he haven’t been able to take a break slowly.
“The filming ended at the end of October and then consistently continuing a lot of schedule, like participating in the Asia Games Opening Ceremony and there is also commercial filming work. So still hardly taken a rest yet.”

When asked if he is able to take a break what would he want to do and he replied with such an answer.
“Thinking back, it didn’t cross my mind of any thing in particular that I want to do. Ahh, but, I would want to go to Jeju Island with my family. Then work again after resting and played a little. (laughs)”

He will be working on the production of the new album. In 2011, seems like it will be hard to keep one’s eyes off Kim Hyun Joong who will still be running on.

ps: have bold the interviewer part for easier viewing.. ^^

Seoul Trip 2010 - Day 3

Started out the day without any specific plan or route in mind.. except for dsp and the studio..
But turns out that all the places we visited for the day were related to celebrities.. so we named it... "fangal day" （●＾o＾●）

2010.05.06 - Day3 : Fangal Day

It was drizzling in the morning...and since I had turned in early the night before… had woke up early and decided to head out to get some brekkie.

wanted to take a view from the top but no idea why i took with the tree in the middle (ーー;)

My brekkie for the day... kimbab
Had wanted to have a kimbab but as my Korean was limited.. I could only make out kimchi and bulgogi…lol.. N since I didn’t wanna have beef, I had to settled with kimchi.. (@_@。

not to forget to grab a snack, green tea and yuzu tea! ^^

First stop of the day… DSP..
Had intend to visit DSP yesterday but as it was a public holiday, all offices were closed. My friend had only visited DSP once but she had cab there and doesn't remember the addy. So end up I had to do my “homework” and figure out how to get to the place by train and foot.. lol..
Well.. I suppose most of us have seen the pictures of the place but upon reaching, I’m still surprised at how “big” it was.. (^_^;)

da building with no indication of dsp... ^^;;

upon stepping out from the elevator... this is what welcomes us..
reminds mi of those warehouse offices? ^^

a whole stretch of awards displaying at the side of the meeting rooms?

awards shelf just by the entrance

Yahoo Asia Buzz Awards 2009 displayed at the front~

more awards... lol.. & signed poster displayed all near the entrance

Next, had wanted to visit Royal Avenue but as the offline shop was only announced after I left.. I didn’t have any map with me. N I couldn’t remember offhand how to walk over from the station. So after discussing with my friend, we decided to give it a miss.

Off we go to our next destination… ^^
When we arrived at this station, something caught our attention…

the train ain't moving and there's boxes and stuffs in it...

another sneak into another carriage...
there are sacks on the seats?

it's a train stopped at the station selling dry food and stuff.. lol..

By the time I saw this message, it's already 2011.. lol..
