NARUTO


PLOT

Naruto Uzumaki is a young boy who has the
Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within him. Twelve years before the start of the series, the fox attacked the ninja village Konohagakure, slaughtering many people. As such, the leader of Konohagakure – the Fourth Hokage – sacrificed his own life to seal the demon inside Naruto when he was a newborn. Konohagakure, however, regarded Naruto as if he were the demon fox itself and mistreated him throughout most of his childhood. A decree made by the Third Hokage forbade anyone mention the attack of the demon fox to anyone although Naruto soon realized about this. Years later, Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy by using his Shadow Clone Technique, a technique from a forbidden scroll that he was tricked into stealing, to save his teacher, Iruka Umino, from the renegade ninja Mizuki. That encounter gave Naruto two insights: that he was the container of the demon fox, and that there was someone besides the Third Hokage who actually cared for and acknowledged him.
The main story follows Naruto and his friends' personal growth and development as ninja, and emphasizes their interactions with each other and the influence of their backgrounds on their personalities. Naruto finds two friends and comrades in
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, two fellow young ninja who are assigned with him to form a three-person team under an experienced sensei named Kakashi Hatake. Naruto also confides in other characters that he meets throughout the series as well. They learn new abilities, get to know each other and other villagers better, and experience a coming-of-age journey as Naruto dreams of becoming the Hokage of Konohagakure. Throughout all of the Naruto plot, strong emphasis on character development changes the plot, with very few things happening because of chance. At first, emphasis is placed on Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who are the members of Team 7. Later, Orochimaru, a criminal at the top of Konoha's most wanted list, attacks Konoha killing the Third Hokage as an act of revenge. He also desires to acquire Sasuke Uchiha due to his powerful genetic heritage. Believing Orochimaru will be able to give him the strength needed to kill his brother Itachi, who destroyed all his clan, he goes to him. Naruto does not give up on Sasuke, leaving Konoha for two-and-a-half years of training to prepare himself for the next time he meets Sasuke. After the training period, a mysterious organization called Akatsuki attempts to capture the nine powerful tailed beasts including the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that is sealed inside of Naruto. Several ninjas from Konoha, including Team 7, fight against the Akatsuki members as well as Team 7 search for their teammate Sasuke.

PENELOPE's ELIMINATION IN PINOY IDOL

Di ako nakapanood ng elimination night ng PINOY IDOL na pinapalabas sa GMA7. I have bets among the remaining hopefulls to be the PINOY IDOL. Kaya lang may nabasa akong balita sa isang forum tungkol sa nangyari sa elimination, my bet was eliminated. PENELOPE is the name. Along with Penelope, Warren Antig and Kid Camaya was on the bottom 3. Kid was announced safe. Then between Penelope and Warren, si Penelope nga ang na-eliminate. I am really sad while typing this entry. Pero may nabasa akong post sa forum na isang entertainment article/column. Ayon dun, when Penelope was announced eliminated, Warren then told the host, Raymond Guitierez that he is willing to give Penelope his slot. Pero nung makausap na sya ng press, nabago na ang desisyon nito. Kainis, sana tinuloy na lang nya ang desisyon nya. Tapos wala na ang Pinoy Idol Extra sa primetime slot ng GMA7. Eh kadalasan sa monday episode nun pinapakita ang mga naging reaksyon ng remaining hopefulls regarding sa nangyaring elimination. Eh kung kelan may ganung isyu saka nawala ang PIE? Ano yun? May tinatago sila?

YOON EUN HYE PROFILE

Place of Birth: South Korea
Religion: Christian[citation needed]
Family: Parents, younger brother
Education: Joong Kyung High School, Kyung Hee Cyber University (Graduated: 02/24/07 with a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration specializing in Tourism Management) \

Baby V.O.X. days

When the girl group Baby V.O.X dropped a member due to a scandal, Yoon was chosen to replace her. Yoon was by far the youngest member in the group, debuting at the age of 15. She recorded 4 albums with the band before leaving the group in July 2005 [1] in order to pursue an acting career. While with the group, Yoon quickly became known as the "cute" one not only for her young age, but because of her bright personality. However, she was also criticized for her weight, as she looked overweight compared to her very slim bandmates. Although she debuted a new, skinnier body in early 2005, she appeared to be experiencing a "yoyo" effect, as noted by various Korean netizens [2].
Unfortunately, Yoon suffered in the hands of detractors Baby V.O.X. when she joined the group to produce their third album. In a water gun incident, Baby V.O.X. was scheduled to appear on Gyun-Ahn Broadcast's Music Engine and was waiting inside their van when Yoon was shot by a water gun by an unidentified man. The man pretended to be a passionate fan of Baby V.O.X. and attempted to offer a Pikachu doll as a present. Suddenly, he took out a water gun and shot Yoon right in the eye before running away.
After being shot, Yoon expressed severe pain and could not open her eyes for a long time. Baby V.O.X. had to cancel their performance and headed straight to the hospital, where Yoon was treated in emergency. The hospital informed that Yoon's cornea was damaged.
Baby V.O.X. members claimed they smelt soy sauce and vinegar from the water that came out of the water pistol

Acting career
Yoon has played a small role on the sitcom Rainbow Romance as Lee Minki's rich ex-girlfriend, before moving on to become one of the host members for the variety show X-Man on SBS. While on "X-Man," she became involved in a romance with popular K-pop singer Kim Jong Kook. Although "X-Man" raised her public profile (in part due to this "scandal"), she left the show a year later in order to pursue acting. Yoon also played the girl lead in one of Kim Jong Kook's music video "Saying You Love Me" which was released in July 2006.
Yoon had her first major acting role in popular Korean drama, Princess Hours (also known as Goong). Initially, however, fans of Goong had questioned her acting ability leading to controversy.[1][2] The success of the drama also appeared unclear as it competed with My Girl which also boasted casting of popular celebrities such as Lee Jun Ki.[3] The drama began with average ratings, but as it continued, viewership increased to almost 30% nationally, leading to an extension of the first season (from 20 to 24 episodes) and a Princess Hours special on MBC. Although Yoon and the other main actors initially agreed to work on a second season of Princess Hours, only one of them officially agreed to do so, forcing the director to change the storyline and focus on brand new characters instead, and is named Goong S.
Due to the success of her first drama, Yoon has been able to continue acting. She is currently working on other dramas, including the recently concluded The Vineyard Man. Like most Korean dramas at that time[citation needed], The Vineyard Man initially suffered from very low ratings due to strong competition from the MBC 45th anniversary drama Jumong (TV series); however, the drama ratings gradually increased and reached a successful 15.6% on its finale.
On 24 November 2006, Eight Peaks (production company of Goong), confirms that the true sequel of Goong season 1 (Goong 2) will probably happen. According to Eight Peaks, the original Manwha is still on-going. The production company wants to film the sequel, not the spin-off like Goong S. Eight Peaks have already begun the preparations necessary for the sequel since two months ago. And according to the company, the true sequel will air in late 2007 or early 2008. Actors like Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jeong Hoon will be back in the sequel as well.
