Just A Brief Note (Off Topic)...

Hi, Family.
As many are aware, I have devoted this site to news and postings for the Bae-sisters; about Our Charming Prince. Therefore, I ask your indulgence, for once, to go off topic, sort of, and wish all of my American Bae-Family a very Happy, Happy Fourth Of July!!! I hope everyone is enjoying lots of fun, good food, and, of course, fireworks with their families, this holiday weekend. (Fireworks courtesy of the Chinese, and a big thanks to them for the pyrotechnics.) It is a perfect July 4th here in sunny Tennessee, but I also hope all of the Family, all around the world, are enjoying a beautiful day and quality time with their loved ones, as well.
We should all take the time to let the people we love know how much they are loved, while we have the opportunity to tell them and to show them. Life is short and we have no promise of tomorrow, so please, take the time to say 'I love you' to everyone special in your life, today.
Love to all Family, everywhere.

What Is Love...?

Hi, dears,

What is your definition of love; romance, friendship, caring, consideration, thoughtfulness, family, marriage? To many of us in the Baefamily, Our Charming Prince is a shining example of what love really means, otherwise we might not think of him as being Ours. 

I have noticed that many Family members worry a lot about Yong Joon-ssi. To me this is one of the many ways they use to express their love for him. Others worry about their other favorite celebrities. Again I see this as an expression of their true affection and caring for those individuals, and I give them credit for being so loving. 
 Some people might think that the Family who worry a lot do so unnecessarily, but I disagree with that thinking. Sometimes caring involves worrying. I ask myself, 'what kind of person would I be if I didn't worry about the people I love'? I think the answer is that I would rather care too much than too little.

Please, don't misunderstand me. I am not criticizing any of my dear Baefamily members. I have not now, nor for as long as I have been a Family member, had any reason to be critical of anyone in our lovely family. I am just saying that I Admire the loving attitudes demonstrated by all of them, whatever forms those attitudes may take.

I know that some people are less affectionate, but that doesn't mean they are any less loving. I also know that all of our Baesisters, with whom I have become acquainted here on the net, have shown a loving and supportive unity; not just toward me, but toward each other. I admire that, too, and I admire them as well.  They are being true to Our Charming Prince's philosophy of "Humane Living".

As for that wonderful guy, I believe he might actually be even more of an affectionate 'hugger' than I am. That is saying a lot, because I hug all of my friends; both men and women. I live to hug!!!

One thing which I have learned in life is that it isn't as important how you love, or whom you love. Those choices must, and should, be left up to the individual. (I know I wouldn't like someone telling me whom I could or couldn't, or should or shouldn't love.) The important part is how much you love that person or persons. If worrying is your way of saying 'I love you', I have to say I respect that.

For the Family who are not worriers, I know you have loving hearts with more calm outlooks on life and its ups and downs. I admire that, and often wish I had a bit more calmness inside of me.

Still, if we all were the same in our feelings and outlooks, wouldn't it be a dull world? I know I would definitely not like that. I like finding emotional differences in the people I meet, because I know deep down we are all the same; we are human beings. That makes the differences mean less than the similar things we share; like our love for Bae Yong Joon.

Love to all Family, everywhere.

The Frustrations...

Hi, dear Family.
Ahhh, the frustrations of computer malfunctions, glitches, etc. I call them computer 'blues', even though I don't really think of them that way. Blue is such an awesome color; actually the most gorgeous color in the world, in all its glory of tints and shades.

Computer frustrations are not so very unlike the frustrations of waiting for news of our beloved Charming Prince. Is he or isn't he going to act in the T.V. drama, 'Dream High'? How long must we Family wait to learn this information? If he does decide to star in DH, will the show be as good as his other dramas? These and many other questions are waiting to be answered by the only person in the world who truly knows the answers: Our Charming Prince; Bae Yong-Joon.

So, I guess I'm feeling a little 'blue' right now, waiting for Our BYJ to decide what he wants to do, and wondering whether he will tell us what his plans are, anytime soon. Frustration is the right word, alright. It perfectly describes what I, personally, am feeling right this moment, waiting and wondering...

Love to all Family, everywhere. Anna

Special Posting...

Hi, Dear Family.

I know it is now 7 June in Asia, but I have just learned about something. I am posting here to say that I hope all of the Family in Asia had a peaceful Korean Memorial Day (현충일)(顯忠日) (Hyeon Chung-il). And a blessed and peaceful Korean Memorial Day to all the Family in all Western countries, where it is June 6, today. Here in America, as some of you know, we have a Memorial Day observance, too. Ours falls on the last Sunday in May, and we take flowers and visit family grave sites and pay our respects, pretty much the same as they do in South Korea. Then, some families have a quiet Sunday dinner in honor of our departed loved ones. These customs are very beautiful, but sometimes sad, if someone has recently passed away. It is good to know people in other countries have these kinds of occasions, for remembering the family and friends who are no longer there. But, their spirits and memories will remain alive as long as we remember and cherish them. Take care and be well. Love to all Family everywhere. Anna

Been Busy...

Hi, dear Family.

I know I haven't posted anything here for a while. I have a very good reason. I have been busy helping some of my Youtube friends get acqainted with our Charming Prince. There are so many women out there who have never even heard of Bae Yong Joon, but who are all eager to get to know more about him. I am helping them in any way I can; sending them Youtube videos, giving them information, etc.

It is exciting to me to be able to connect my different internet circles in this way. It makes me feel as though I have a much larger internet family. I only hope, someday, they will be part of our BYJ Family. That would be even more wonderful. I want them all to know how special our Bae Family is. I hope they will find the kindness and love that I have found. I know I love them already; just from having them as YT friends. They are a nice group of women, just like my Baesisters. I would love to be able to join both my YT family and my Bae Family together; the way our Yong Joon-ssi has brought his global Family together. Although I don't think I could ever do as good a job as he has done, I would like to try just the same. Maybe I could even get a bit of help from the other Sisters? I would like that, and be grateful for it. Please, be well, and safe, dear Sisters. And, please be safe and well, Yong Joon-ssi.

Love to all Family everywhere, Anna

To All The Mothers...

Hi, dear Family.

I would like to wish all of the Baesisters a Happy Mother's Day! It doesn't matter if someone is a mother or not; If you have children in your family who are so special to you, that you would do anything for them (nieces, nephews, small cousins, etc.) then you know about the kind of love we mothers have for our children, and you shouldn't be left out. Every good woman is a potential mother. Everyone of them has a lot of love to give, and should be respected for that reason. Have a happy day, sisters, everywhere. Love to all, Anna

                                                                                              
(Here is a special gift, from my own artwork, to all of the Baesisters. I hope everyone likes it.)                                                                                                    

Even Better...

Hi, dear Family.

Now I have something even better than the 'Dream High' production news about which to get excited. Our Charming Prince and his company are finally going to publish "A Journey to Discover The Beauty of Korea" in English! How I have waited to hear this news! Taiwan and China will also be getting translations of 'the book'! I am happy for the Family in all of these countries; especially my own. Canadian Family members will, of course, benefit indirectly from the American publishing, because they can order the book from here. So can all the Family in English-speaking countries around the world, such as England, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Scotland. And we can't forget about our Family in Europe, Mexico,  South America, and all of the world's island nations, because many of them also speak English, as a second language. I believe the English printing of "Beauty" will be as helpful to all these Family members as the Chinese printing will be to a large part of the Family in Asia. I am so thrilled for everyone of us who will finally get a chance to read our Dear Yong Joon-ssi's lovely book! Oh,oh!!! Can't wait, can't wait!!! (Feeling weak with excitement.) I think we should all help other family members in countries where the book is not being published, yet. I have made a promise to a certain Sister, to keep her posted about the release dates for the book, as soon as I know anything, myself. If I can help any other of the Baesisters in this way, they should certainly let me know, and I will gladly do my best for them.  After all, we are Family, aren't we? I truly believe that we are. Love to all Family everywhere. Please be well and take care. Anna
