Having All The Reasons To SMILE... Because Of Kim Hyun Joong



Time flies so fast, that I didnt even remember today, July 16, marks the 2nd year since I first started blogging Anything, Everything About SS501's Magnetic Leader, Kim Hyun Joong. My... how time flies.

I cant even enumerate all the things that happened to me ever since I started making Kathy's Bench. Probably, the journey to reach my 2nd year was the most bumpy, but simply, the most fulfilling time for me. Who would have thought, my simple crush for Kim Hyun Joong, plus my avid loyalty to Playful Kiss, would get me this far... I must have been doing the right thing then.

I had never expected, even the slightest bit of it, that I would ever have the chance to follow Hyun Joong outside my country, more so, being a "jetsetter" for two Asia Fan Meetings as I never had the means to do so. More so, I had never expected,that Id be able to step on two countries in just a span of 2 weeks.

But, it always surprises me how great Kim Hyun Joong fans are generous enough to share their blessings and help me achieve what I had achieved, all because they say, I had done so much for them. Really, its still new to me when Hyun Joong fans say it to me, but really thank you.

My dear Unnie Yuki, My Unnie Christine, and Unnie Elsa... Thank you. I know I never had the chance to thank all three of you properly, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. For trusting me...

I can go on and on about my experiences on the Asia Fan Meeting but that would be another post, and I hope I can find time to get inspired and find the right words to finally get the momentum to write about it.

To everyone who have been with me ever since Kathy's Bench had started and still believed me until now, thank you. I am not the only one who blogs about Kim Hyun Joong, but the mere fact that I still get great feedbacks from everyone, really makes me happy.

To some people who were there to irritate me from time to time, I thank you too. Cause on the process of trying to irritate me, through the years, I think I have learned when and when not to care. And seriously, it helped me mature.

To my Kbencher friends, thank you, for keeping up with my immature moments(most of the time!LOL) and for giving me so much joy and making me realize, that Friendship was the best perk of being a Kim Hyun Joong fan.

And lastly, Kim Hyun Joong, my inspiration for this blog. How I wish you can read this, but oh well...Thank you, for giving me so much. So much to be thankful and happy for. I can attest that you are more than just a pretty face, because, you may never know it, but you had changed my life completely.

As I always said,my love for you will be FOREVER. But dont worry, I dont even dream of being your girlfriend anymore. LOL. hehehe...

Happy Birthday to my baby, Kathy's Bench. I promise, Id do my very best to stay, as long as Kim Hyun Joong will always be here to stay.

Note:
I brought back the BANNER that best fitted(and probably got everyone curious) about the blog. Its Seung Jo on a bench on PK's Episode 14. It just brings back great memories... And makes me happy.^^



Love,

Kathy

It always breaks my heart to see Hyun Joong cry, but this one's where Im the saddest, since I see the frustration and pain that he feels in fear of disappointing his fans.

We love you Hyun Joong, so dont pressure yourself too much. You are just human and we accept that you have flaws.
