ArirangShowBizKoreaRainTop5DevotedChildren05222014_CUSA

In this week’s Star Ranking poll that asked the question, “Which celebrities do you feel are the most devoted children?”, Rain came in second place with 21.2% of the vote.

The Top 5 are:

Tae-yeon (SNSD) 23.3%
Rain (actor, singer) 21.2%
Lee Seung-gi (actor, singer)17.8%
Sunny (SNSD) 11%
Joo Won (actor) 9.5%

A very nice looking list, if you ask me! (and even if you don’t^^)

Rain’s segment begins at the 8:14 minute marker, but the whole 24 minute show is terrific and worth a watch. ๐Ÿ™‚

c0047605_036335Filming has wrapped on Rain’s and Crystal Liu’s (Liu Yifei) film ้œฒๆฐด็บข้ขœ (Roots of Dew/LuShuiHongYan) Difficult Love in China. After 50 days of shooting, the movie is now in post-production and will be released in November of this year.

So said the director, Gao Xixi, on his Weibo micro-blog back on May 8.

In the same post, he thanked columnist, magazine editor, essayist, and fiction writer Amy Cheung (she wrote the novel Roots of Dew, which was published in July 2006, and 40 other novels over the span of her career). He also thanked his lead actors, Rain and Liu, the director of photography, and other members of the cast and crew for their hard work.

I got the feeling from the post that he expects the finished film to be amazing, and he asked for everyone’s support.

We’re behind you all the way, Mr. Director. Thanks so much for sharing your picture of Rain and Liu Yifei with you on the set. ๐Ÿ™‚

We’d like to send comfort to the lost souls, the survivors, and the loved ones whose lives have been turned upside down by the sinking of the MV Sewol back on April 16.

It’s only a small gesture in the whole scheme of things, but even small things can carry a lot of power, especially when the sincere heart is involved.

If you would like to participate, please do the following:

Send a picture of yourself holding your written message of comfort and condolence OR a graphic message of comfort and condolence made by yourself to letitrain@cloudusa.org. Please include on your message or graphic your location, and your name if you so wish. The deadline is roughly two weeks from now, Monday, May 19.

The go-to person for this project is Cloud USA Activities Director Dot Kelly (@I_am_Dulcie).

Thanks in advance to all who find it in their hearts to help with this project.

Stephe @cloudusa.wordpress.com / CloudUSA.org

[FYI] From Stephe’s desk: Cloud USA will be mobile for a little while.

Hello, dear Clouds and Rain fans!

Just wanted to keep you in the loopโ€”from today until after Mother’s Day, Cloud USA will be on the road.

Cloud USA farewell dinner, Italian style. :) (Image credit: Stephe / dynasticstephe @Instagram)

Cloud USA farewell dinner, Italian style. ๐Ÿ™‚ (Image credit: dynasticstephe @Instagram)

Terri is flying to South Korea today to visit her nephew (and his wife) who are stationed with the Army there. She misses him a lot, and seldom takes time out for herself and works very hard on her job, so I’m beyond thrilled that she’s finally going to get some well-deserved rest and relaxation, with a beloved relative to boot! So, for the next couple of weeks she’ll be a site-seeing, Cloud-visiting traveler on the Korean peninsula.

I’m hopping in the RainBuggy and heading north to visit my dear friend (and Cloud sister) Dianne in Virginia. We haven’t seen each other in nearly two and a half years, which is a travesty that must be rectified. I am long overdue for some R & R myself to catch up on my fiction writing and reading that has gone by the wayside. There’s no better medicine for me than the serenity of a road trip! Besides, I miss her a lot.

Just how well of an Internet connection Terri will have in Korea is up in the air for the moment, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll be able to communicate regularly. I’ll be keeping an eye on the goings-on in the Rainiverse when I can.

I’ll be watching out for any Rain goods I can find in Virgina. I dare say, Terri should find plenty, lucky duck. LOL

Have a terrific weekend, peeps! Talk to you soon.

Peace out! ๐Ÿ™‚
