My entry for this week’s theme, “In memory”. I choose this photo that I took months ago in memory of Jose Rizal. I was surprise when I saw Jose Rizal statue here in Chicago. I was like… what Jose Rizal statue doing here? After I read the description on the statue I found out that he visited Chicago before he was arrested and exiled. Anyways, below is a little description of the Philippines’ national hero. I grabbed it from wikipedia.

José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896, ancestral home: Quanzhou, Fujian), was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered the Philippines’ national hero and the anniversary of Rizal’s death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal’s 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.

Jae-hyuk, a CEO of venture capital, hit life is not unstable because of the international telephone call from Manila. Jung-hwan graduated from a big-name school but does not have a job for the last five years. He maintains his daily life by doing a part time job at the convenience store Ga-young, a singing star, is already exhausted because of full schedule. Everybody thinks that star, Ga-young will have happy life but now she is tired of it. Everyone rushes out of the plane and scatter to different places according to their schedules. However, their destinies begin to tangle and entangle again like Alice in Wonderland, who chased the rabbit with the wall clock. The fantastic experiences are everywhere in the beautiful recreation resorts in Philippine. Now they will face the greatest reversal of the situation at the dream island ‘Boracay’…

My hubby and I watched it last night at Aznv.tv. The story is romantic and totally hilarious especially in the first half. I am so proud that our very own Boracay was the main setting in this Korean movie. Intramuros, Luneta and some places in Manila was featured as well. So yeah, enough for the spoiler hehehe. You should watch it guys especially those who likes korean movies.
