Rain's cute stories from Phuket

hi i just like to share this story that was posted last year Monday, March 13, 2006 in another blog http://myrainyadventure.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

Anyeong everyone!I'd like to share a cute story of our chubby lion (kate666 - they call him this). Mind you it's very very cute.

Pals... you know what...besides PadThai that Rain enjoyed
eating a lot while in Thailand, he also liked Mama (instant
noodle) and Vitagen (milk with Lactobacilus spp.) very very
much. Thanks to Nongsaopoojaidee who shared the story
with me.

Rain told the Thai crews (organizers) that he liked Mama very
much 'cause there are several flavours/styles. So, when he
went to Phuket, the Thai crews gave him a large carton of
Mama (several flavours/styles). At Phuket airport, Rain saw
his belongings coming out on the rails, instead of reaching
out for his luggages, he went straight to his carton of Mama
before anything else. (LOL) The crews was surprised and
then, took the big carton from Rain and said they could carry
it for him. At Phuket, besides lobsters, Mama was his main
dish and he finished all of that there! His bodyguard told him
one day that after he finished his meal at MK Suki, there
were fans collected his chopsticks. He replied "ok...next time
I'll use only this pair of chopsticks" and after he finished his
Mama, he cleaned the chopsticks and put them in his bag.

As for the Vitagen, Rain first tried one that he bought from
the 7-eleven store at Khaosan Road and he liked it. So, the
Thai crews went to get 2 bottles of Vitagen for him on the
other day. However, when they tried to give this to Rain,
they got pissed off by the bodyguards who refused to
receive that. So, they put the 2 bottles in front of his hotel
room. Next morning, Rain walked straight to the crews and
tried to make it up for his bodyguard's carelessness.

That's not all!! On the second night's concert, Bi and his
dancers had bet if any of them made dancing mistakes in
tonight's concert, that one had to take care of snacks'
costs, while in Thailand. And yeah, it was Bi that made
mistakes in the show so when they went to Phuket, Bi
exchanged his money into a big pack of 20 baht bank notes.
And when his dancers would like to buy snacks, they had Bi
pay for them. So, the dancers requested snacks more often
than usual to tease Bi. LOL

At Phuket he woke up early everyday to hang around, one
day he took a motorbike out without telling his bodyguards
who were still in bed. The bodyguards tried to catch him
later. Rain would like to get the watermelons but he forgot to
bring his money, so he had to borrow from his interpreter
boy. And when he saw the shopkeeper knocked the
watermelon by her finger, he couldn't hide his curiousity, so
he asked his interpreter why the shopkeeper did that. While
asking, he tried knocking the watermelon by his finger too.
His interpreter, a Korean boy residing in Thailand, had to ask
the shopkeeper to find out that she did that to know
whether the watermelon was ripe or not. After that, he tried
to prove if that was true, by knocking the watermelon and
then chop to open the watermelon to see inside. He tried
this on several metermelons to finally know which ones
are ripe. (very cute)

These are some tidbits of Rain at Phuket that I was told and
I'd like to share with everybody how cute this guy is.

07.13.07 Message from Cloud Fan Manager

Hello everyone, I'm Cloud Fan Manager.
After the LA concert there has been a long time seperating messages
Our Cloud family has been faced with sad media reports everyday.
Because there have been doubts produced by non-solid matters,all these should be solved.
Who to ask for inquiries...thinking everyone is also worried about this.
Suggestions among fans have increased, common usage is a good thing.
But not too long after the increase of boatmen the ship has sailed upwards to the mountains (note: speaking metaphorically here I guess, not sure what it means)
First of all, based on my own standpoint to solve this problem,
I think I can patiently solve this step-by-step.
I--who have continuously held the post of Fan Manager (Cloud Manager) under JYP Entertainment--decided to resign from JYP Entertainment upon the cancellation of LA concert, and decided to follow Rain.
Hope there won't be any more curiosity towards Fan Manager...(Hope...you won't hate me too much *^^*)
I'm earnestly preparing the official homepage.
If wait slightly longer, there will be a good appearance where everyone can send their best wishes.
(Before the official homepage is launched, news may be obtained through Rain World site)
Everybody wants to know the address where they can send him letters and gifts.
I will be able to inform everyone of this within the week.
(If many gifts are sent to Berlin, then the baggage load returning to South Korea will increase, this will bring inconvenience to Rain, so hope that everyone can limit and control.)
Regarding Rain's situation, everybody wants to really understand.
There has been the spread of strange hearsays regarding this,these are news that have not gone through any common sense.
Regarding this, I have no way to pinpoint which is true and which is false.
So I hope that everyone do not simply believe any senseless news or hearsays.
Presently, it is a very important time for Rain as he aggressively adapts to the filming schedule, crew members and fellow cast members.
Therefore, although everyone is 'thirsty' to know of Rain's feelings, if everyone can wait a little longer, then we can pass on accurate news.
All of us have been going through a difficult time.
Hope that everyone can forget all the unhappiness in the past, from today towards the future, starting from now, make a fresh new start.
Hope that everyone will gain strength from all the sad and painful matters.
I believe, we will recall today's present time as memories of the future.
I believe we can say (the difficult time right now) that the time has arrived for all of us to have the opportunity to grow stronger.
(Compare to all that was done before) all the things that we are able to do will be even more.
Also, I emphasize...from now on, matters that bring honor to Rain will also become much more.
Dear Clouds,
Hope that in the future we all frequently send regards, mutually communicate with one another.
Today I also give regards to everyone.
Rain Smile ^ ______ ^

Today I talked to Brother/Oppa over the phone..
He's doing very well...
No longer feeling sad and eating very well~^^

At the message board saw that there was the matter of going to China, so asked for a moment...
It is Germany 'oh', not China...

Right...there's not much up till here...it's really short right?
But...everyone please forgive me ^^;;;;

Ah...I've received many news briefs...
keep passing on to me...

But i'm not that familiar with this matter..
Even if it was up to me to solve it...
I would not know how to reply...
It's no problem to keep passing on to me..
But I have no means to reply,
so I feel very sorry...I...ask for everyone's forgiveness ^^

hee hee..
So I will end here for now...
Wishing everyone a very happy night ^__________ ^

News from Berlin

Fan Account: News from Berlin!

Ch to Eng: rayndrop

I'm an executive of a German foreign investment company. I was in Berlin on 3rd July attending an meeting.But on that day, I was in no mood to attend any meeting or go sight-seeing. That's because I had a "dark" day on 30th June. I'm happy our company's doing the logistics transportation for a certain studio (I didn't know it was the studio which Rain was filiming his movie with). Because I was in charge of this special freight delivery, I went along in the car. It was 8th July on that day. I arrived at the studio with the staff members and translator. It was originally a fine day, but all of a sudden, it started drizzling when a fleet of cars drove in. I was raising my bag above my head to shelter against the rain, when I saw an Asian guy in black getting off from one of the cars. O~~~mo~~~~ I can't believe this!!! I was about to shout out loud, but I realised there were only crew members at the site, and there was no fans at all. I had to preserve my image, so I held on~~ I was telling my translator excitedly that the guy is me "baby", and I wanted to go over and say something to him. But the translator said this was the acting crew of the new movie, and no strangers were allowed to go near them. I couldn't approach him at all. In the end, I stood by a watch as my "baby" disappeared from my sight... I was really upset that Rain and I simply passed each other by like that, so the next day, I went along to the studio again. This time, I brought along my translator, and I had a HK news report which my friend just faxed to me (that's the advertisement the HK clouds did). I was determined to hand the fax to Rain. We went to many related personnel and through many layers of "relationship", I finally met Rain's new manager. I told him my intentions, and the manager politely took my fax, assuring me he'll hand the fax to Rain immediately. I saw the manager walked away, and the anxiety in my heart slowly dissipated. But my tears rolled down my cheeks beyond my control. (After falling for this guy, I've somehow turned into a crybaby). I raised my face and allowed the rain water to fall on my face. I was crying...!After the manager has gone off, I did not leave immediately, because I knew Rain was inside. I was under the same piece of sky with him, breathing the same air! I didn't bear to leave~~ About an hour later, I saw a group of people walked out from the studio. He stood out among the people around him. When I saw him, I was so happy~~I almost went crazy~~~

The manager introduced us, and Rain politely greeted me and shook my hands! (Standing beside him, my height was only up to his ears) Because it was filming inside, Rain couldn't invite me to go in for a sit, so we sat outside along a (??) I felt so happy I was able to sit beside my hero! He's thinned a lot. Really much thinner than the last time I saw him at the HK concert, but he looked well-rested. He asked me about the news report, and I told me not to worry about the cost and anything else. It was something the clouds wanted to do to show our support. Please don't be bothered about it. Clouds all over the world are doing our best to show our support and encouragement for him now, so, we hope he can film this movie with a cheerful heart, and leave the unhappy matters behind. There's a Rain on top of Cloud (rayndrop: as in the chinese writing of character "Cloud"), there will always be a piece of cloud above Rain. Fighting! Our conversation ended within 4 to 5 minutes when a crew member came to look for him. So there. That was how the most memorable moment of my life came to an end. But I am so happy~~ The manager emphasized that taking photos or recording voices are not allowed, so I can't give all of you a picture. I'm sorry~! Rain only said many polite words. In particular, he was grateful Clouds all over the world did not forsake him, and stayed by his side. Stay with him! He will do his best in this movie. Everybody please wait in anticipation!!

Rain's Dream Date is to Borrow a Boat

Singer Rain, who is walking towards the World Star status said in the programme "I'm secretly in love with someone." His sudden declaration of love attracted attention. On the 14th, Rain revealed that "I'm currently in love with someone. I don't know how the other person feels, so I'm hesitating on my declaration," during KBS2TV's programme "Sang Sang Plus". Towards the host's question of "If you have a girlfriend, what would you like to do with her", Rain describes how his date would go: "I want to walk on the streets and eat ice-cream with her. After dinner, we can go dance happily at a club. "Following that, he said, "What I want to do most on a date is to hire a boat, watch "Titanic" or "Nottinghill", followed by a pre-arranged proposal video that declares after the movie "I love you", Rain plans his public declaration of love. But that's only the second plan. "I can't tell anyone the first plan," keeping it a secret. However, for the sake of the longing hosts, he revealed his wish, "As for this, I believe nobody has done it before. In Myeongdong, lights are switched off for a while in Myeongdong so lovers can kiss. I'd like to try that." The hosts didn't keep quiet. They pressed on with "Then you have someone whom you'll like to kiss?" and began to probe if the girl who he didn't declare his love to is still around. Rain replied, "I've always been secretly in love. Whether she's interested, how am I going to declare my love to her, or what kind of reaction will I get after declaring my love, I really have no idea", said Rain, who hinted that the person he is secretly in love with is still in existence. Following that, the hosts asked, "Is she older than you?" for a more concrete answer, but Rain said, "this I cannot tell," showing how careful he is about this one-sided love issue. The host continued and said, "Who knows? Maybe on Christmas Day, we'll be able to bump into Rain kissing in Myeongdong. When passing by Myeongdong, please open your eyes wide!" creating a round of laughter among all on stage. In addition, on the programme, Rain also revealed a small tidbit about him being chosen as "Times 100 most influential people". In order to brag to others, he bought 10 of the magazines, and even wanted to frame the magazine.
