It's just amazing that I found a lot 'motivational' phrases/quotes & cute ones from serial dramas I (dled from D-A) watched. 

Firstly, "Aja Aja Fighting!" [아자아자 Fighting!!] , originally from korean drama 'Full House'. [I've googled the korean of aja aja & I think I've got it right..]. "Fighting!!" is a motivating phrase which Han Ji-eun often use to cheer herself up & to NOT give up easily. I think it's sth like telling yourself "I will not give up, I'll fight for it!". Later on, Young-jae said he prefered "Aja Aja"..had a small fight over this...eventually it became "Aja Aja Fighting!"..haha & it's contagious! Even Hye-won & Min-hyuk said it in the few last episodes. (I wonder if aja aja is equalivalent to "jia you, jia you") 

I've added this to the title of my blog (as u can see up there)...I think a few months before I sit for SPM to encourage myself..."Ruth, don't give up! You can do it!"....but..*sigh*.. Year 2005 was really a dark year to me...so yeah, nothing big change... 

Anyways, I like those phrases, other than reminding me of the serial I'd watched, it somewhat gives a bit motivation/encouragement to myself.. remembering the things the characters (in serial drama) had gone through... I learn a lot from watching serial dramas. 

I like YanKumi's (Yamaguchi Kumiko) "Fight-oh! OH!" (faito oh!). She always says it before doing sth important/big. haha..so I also always did the same thing (if remember-lah..haha). Also a contagious phrase--you can see her students *screaming* "Fight-oh! OH!" or just "OH!".. 

From jdorama, Trick, Ueda Jiro(u)'s "Why Don't You Do Your Best?" (naze besuto o tsukusanai noka)...that's his chant words, an answer to every problem you had (well, he said so.).. Surprisingly it works, (mostly for him of cos) like the trick of Genzo's WORDS (not sure if this is right.. it's the first trick 3's mystery case)..where Yamada said it to him (as her last words..) & Ueda suddenly transformed into an "Incredible Hulk"! In my opinion, this one is useful for telling others (& yourself) to just do your best even when you are just trying (also useful when you feel like giving up). It's not originally a motivational phrase, but just imagine Ueda's face when he was saying this...your stress will go away..(for shorter phrase--Besto) 

"Donto Koi!" is another Ueda's quote [full: Donto koi chojo gensho, come over spiritual phenomenon]. It was funny seeing him *trying* to say "Dont..." in the Trick Special trailers with Yamada keeps stopping him. Not motivational, but it makes me laugh when I said it myself & did the 'donto koi' hand act. 

Also from Trick, Yamada's "Nya!"... If I'm not mistaken, nya is the sound for cats.. From what I watched, Yamada is somewhat specially related to cats, [other than turtles] (sth to do with money?) Just watch Trick 3 and Trick Special, you'll hear those nya's. (btw she singing "nya, nya, nya, nya..." in Trick Special was very cute..haha) 

"Nobuta Power...Enter!" [nobuta power..chuuunyuu]...Nobuko's motivational phrase taught by Akira. She will get 100x power after saying this. haha she's cute when she says it! Many of cute/motivational phrases(& actions) in Nobuta comes from Akira. eg. "Kon! Kon!", "Moch!" (offtopic: I really like YamaP's portrayal of Akira! Without him, I would have not finish watching Nobuta in a really fast pace[I finished Nobuta first b4 HYD] =PP)..."Akira SHOCK!", "Akira....DOWN"......haha 

will continue talking about "Nobuta wo Produce" later.
