Actress Jeong Da-bin Dead in Suspected Suicide
Korean actress Jeong Da-bin was found dead at her boyfriend's home on Saturday, according to police.
Investigators said Jeong, 27, apparently hanged herself at her boyfriend's house in southern Seoul at around 8 a.m.
The boyfriend, who was only identified by his last name Lee, told the police that he discovered the body.
He was quoted as saying that she was found dead with a white towel around her neck.
The police suspect that Jeong committed suicide considering there was no sign that it was a murder. They are trying to determine the exact cause of her death.
Jeong, who also became a Korean pop culture star in Taiwan in 2005, acted in television dramas and movies.
If her death is confirmed to have been a suicide, it would be the latest case of a well-known Korean actress or pop star taking her own life.
On Jan. 21, a female singer Yuni committed suicide, while movie actress Lee Eun-joo killed herself in February 2005, which shocked many Koreans.

entitled : By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, [emo un title no?] hahaha,..

akalain nu nga naman, 3rd basa-han ko palang pero nasa page 50 n ak.. not bad para s isang k2lad ko na ngaun lng ngka.interes s novels.. hehe..

you can't blame me, ayos kasi e, it's about two ex-young lovers na na.reunite after eleven years, ung lady [Pilar name niya] parang nag.transform na sa isang strong and independent woman while her ex-labidabs [wlang name?] ay isa ng wafoo at charismatic na spiritual leader.. she has learned well how to bury her feelings . . . and he has turned to religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts. Now they are together once again, embarking on a journey fought with difficulties, as long-burried demons of blame and resentment resurface after more than a decade. But in a small village in the French Pyreness, by the waters of the River Piedra, a most special relationship will be reexamined in the dazzling light of some of life's biggest questions.. [galing yan s likod nung libro, can't translate e, d kaya ng powers.. haha..]

ayon,, and sobrang daming 'panamang' quotes about love and taking risks.. eon, i encourage you na try nyo dn xa basahin,, and kung ma.tripan nyo, payamanin natin si Paulo Coehlo at ang National Bookstore.. hahaha..

i guess i'll just end this entry with my favorite quote from the novel so far..

"There are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggle for your dreams than to be defeated without ever even knowing what you're fighting for."

-p50, By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Paulo Coehlo
