Special Notice to all Blog readers

Hi guys! How are you guys? Today I am going to bring some bad news to you guys. I am kind of getting stuck here and there in my course. I have come to the decision to give up my blog for the 3 months till I finish my exams in May 17^th 2016.

I am not happy about my own decision but I am doing this because I want to give my 100% to my degree. After all I do have a 3 month holiday to write reviews and a lot more for you guys from May to August. I hope you guys aren’t really angry and all, since this is a decision that I had to take. According to my favourite lecturer I am to sacrifice things if I want to gain something of value. I did breeze through my A/L’s and gained good marks without much effort but I don’t think that my degree is something that easy.

So this week’s review of WP might as well be the last one for these few months. I hope it is good but I wrote it in a hurry and I wish it’s good.

Anyhow thanks for your support and encouragement and let’s meet again in 3 months time.

Thank You

Janathri Weeratunga

My Blog – A boastful examination.

Janathri Weeratunga 3:02 AM 1 Comments

lifeasasrilankan.blogspot.com is almost 2 years old. I am not speaking of the exact date it was opened but the amount of time it has been an entertainment blog. Life did start a little slow and I had to take some risks and make some stupid mistakes to come all this way. My English didn’t start of as well as it is now. My English was not at all good until I met some inspirational teachers who made my English come up to the standard that it is now enjoying. I took years to master the art of writing and I bloody well did a lot of hard work.

Speaking the truth this blog started off due to two reasons. Firstly I wanted to practice my creative writing. Secondly and most probably the biggest reason was my revenge plan (I am serious). This was made to show that I was able to do things my personal bullies could not. At school my earliest memories involved people bulling me because I was not good at my spelling. This involved teachers and students and I was going through hell. To add to this I was a keen reader which made one particular student remark that” Oh she reads but her English is just worthless”.

I coped with all this (mind you) until 2013 where I found my love for English Literature. I loved what I was reading and what I was writing + acting. Anyhow yet my English didn’t fit the standards. This is where I met my wonderful Literature teacher Sir Mahangu. I have to say he had a way of motivating people and making them work hard. So there started my love for Shakespeare, Wilfred Owen and Christina Rossetti. I take this opportunity to thank him for everything he did to make me be the person I am today.

So this blog may have proven to my dear bullies what I am capable of and I am happy about that (I am not being pathetic). After all it is not for nothing that people say that hard work pays off. Right now my blog is enjoying 67000+ views and a strong following on Google Plus with many readers contacting me on srilankacricket77@gmail.com too.

At the beginning my blog might have been a revenge plan but right now it is a part of my life. I do enjoy writing my reviews and love it when people send in positive comments, emails or messages. So what has my blog achieved more than those 67000+ views? Well let’s see (I am going to boast like hell hereJ ).

Let’s start off with the surprise I got on the 24^thDecember when Saranga Disasekara himself commented on my Wassane Premaya (WP) review on Facebook. He had said that I was doing good work and that I should keep it up. Well many of you might say well what’s so big about it but I do have my reasons. I am personally a big fan of his and as he is the male lead in WP who is better to comment on it. So yes I am very happy with this. This was so nice of him to say and it finally shows that people are reading my reviews (also shows that they know my blog and I exist J ). So I take this moment to thank his againJ .

The first time however was when Mardava shared my post on Shakya Thenuwara on his personal FB account. This too was very nice of him and something that made me proud to be the admin of lifeasasrilankan.blogspot.com .

There are other numerous feats my blog has achieved (lol J) .

Due to my darling blog I even found two wonderful friends from Aussie who speak to me regularly and are a source of motivation for me. Also recently I have been getting a lot of mails on how I could improve my blog articles and where I might find the resources. Some have even sent mails to me on what sections of my articles I can improve and also detailed insights in to characters which has made me think of new meanings of the dramas I have reviewed. Thank you all.

Also my blog is having a growing fan base with a lot of them coming from Sri Lanka. Others countries such as Aussie, USA, India and New Zealand have also helped increase my page view numbers considerably. Many have even taken the time to stop by and post suggestions and criticisms. I take this opportunity to thank all these people too.

At the end of the day I hope you guys got to learn something out of my shameless boasting (proud mother of a 2 year old baby/blogJ ). After all I have gone through I never could got to this position without hard work. Trust me; I have finished almost 50+ pens just writing Literature answers so as to make them perfect. Hard work pays off that is what I have learnt from Sir Mahangu and through the progress of this blog. Moreover determination, self confidence and motivating people around you are things which are important to survive in life. Sometimes I think this whole blog is a waste of time and energy but at those times I read what my viewers have sent me and finally feel that I may be doing something (even something small) to bring something worth will for people around me.

My last advice is that you should have confidence in yourself and what you do and not give a shit about what other people say or do to/about you. Life is far too short to nurture regret and anger….thank you again for supporting me through page views and for you kind words and encouragements J I hope I didn’t bore you to death with my boastful writing but hey I ended everything in less than 1500 wordsJ. Let us meet again in another review…Farwell till then J J J J J J

About Me

Janathri Weeratunga 9:24 AM 0 Comments

I am Janathri Weeratunga and I am a first year LLB student of University of London International Programmes. So this blog is my hobby and my part time job (sort of). I started this blog way back when I was doing my O/Ls so that I can get a place where I can practice my writing skills. However with time and my 100% obsession on dramas I converted my darling blog into an entertainment blog.

I am pretty much a drama addict but there is no particular set of dramas I like to watch. As I am a romantic at heart I usually drag my attention to the romance genre. However I am also an action fan and because of that I have an undying love for F&F, Transporter, Onk Bak and Chocolate. So yes I watch Thai, Japanese, Korean and Tamil (my guilty pleasure) movies. After all I am a diehard fan of Surya and Danush. Getting on to Korean dramas I do have quite a list of actors with Kim Soo Hyun being my favorite and others include Lee Min Ho, Lee Jong gi, Bae Soo bin etc…etc. However when it comes to actress I am a fan of Lee Young Ae, Park Hye shin, Suzy etc…etc.

Anyhow now I started this (as I have told before) just as a random blog but now it’s an entertainment blog with an average of 8000 to 10000 viewers a month. So of course I am proud but I really love my blog even without all views. I also happy to say that right now I am celebrating my blog reaching 60000+ views and I thank you for your support.

I usually write a few reviews on Sri Lanka dramas which include Wassane Premaya and Dedunnai Adarai. My reviews on foreign dramas include Queen Seondeok (Janahithakami Rajiniya), Ananthayen Aa Tharu Kumara (My Love from another Star), I Can Hear Your Voice (Hima Thuhina), Moon Embraces the Sun (Hiru Sadu Adarai), City Hunter, IKPND, YHM (Me Adarayai) etc. I am hoping to include many more reviews on dramas in the future. Right now I am in the process of writing more reviews on Korean dramas.

However sadly I am not able to watch all the dramas on TV and review them. A big problem my mother had is that I continuously analyze dramas when everyone is watching them. This makes them very angry but they always say old habits are hard to beat. I am an A/L literature in English student and my life revolved around analyzing, reading between the lines and understanding characters for 3 years. Even after almost 6 months of not doing it I kind of felt that I need to make use of these analyzing skills and ability to foresee the plot. So because of that I started my latest series of reviews on mylifeasasrilankana.blogspot.com. Without giving my parents full on lectures on why a particular drama is good or bad I started writing all of it down on the blog. This was quite a relief to them ( mind you).

So this is me and I hope I didn’t bore you to tearsJ. Please feel free to contact me on srilankacricket77@gmail.com or on my Google Plus account (Janathri Weeratunga). I am open to opinions, criticism or anything else you want to say about my blog.

50000 views reached - Thank You :)

Janathri Weeratunga 3:37 AM 0 Comments

I came online simply to thank everyone who tuned into my little blog to read my drama reviews. In the recent years this blog has become a part of me and a daily inspiration. Its success motivated me to work harder and harder. So today with my hard work and your continuing support my blog has reached 50000+ views! This is one of the many happy moments of my life and I thank you all for reading my blog and for the continuing support shown through Google Plus.

So I haven't been on my Blog for sometime and I am so sorry for that. With law and a very tight schedule I have very little time for anything else other than studies and television. I also know that one of these days I will have to give up my blog for a few months and then start all over again like I did when I had my O/L's.

My blog has articles on most of the dramas I watch regularly and what I ave watched online. In the last few months the most famous post with over 7000 views was My Love From Another Star. There is of course other posts such as ones on Wassane Premaya which attract at least 100+ views for each review.

Once again thank you very much for this support. My blog will never be this successful without your support. More posts will be posted in the coming months. Currently I am planning to watch Beautiful You and Love Rain and their reviews would be put up soon. Moreover the latest series of spoilers on Me Adarayai 2015 is still been written. However I am sorry to say that Sujatha reviews may not be put up until later as right now I have given up on it. Wassane Premaya review number 11 and 12 will come combined as with this degree I am doing weekly writing is getting harder and harder but do not worry I will continue to post as much as possible. A review on latest KDramas and an upcoming Sri Lankan drama will be put up as soon as possible :)

I also have to say that the reaction to this blog by fans has been mainly positive. I am however sorry that I can not cater to all your needs. I cannot watch all the dramas on tv and review them as I too have a life. Many fans have been unreasonably rude when I replied saying that I cannot review their drama because I don't have enough time :) Some have even pointed out that characters spoken of in my blog are just fictitious and for me to stop talking about them as if they are real life characters :) Anyhow I have to say that I thank all of my fans, those who said positive and negative things about my blog and everyone else. I hope you all join with me as I celebrate my blog reaching a small milestone and continue to extend your loving support :) Stay tuned to Sri Lanka's premier Entertainment blog to know the latest on dramas shown in Sri Lanka.

Thank You all for ur support :)

Janathri Weeratunga 4:46 AM 0 Comments

Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for tuning into this little blog site! Thank You so much for coming to lifeasasrilankan.blogspot.com to get the latest entertainment news. Right now I have just started Uni but will continue to post as a part time blogger. Never did I ever think that my hobby would help many people in their entertainment news needs in Sri Lanka and abroad.

Thanks for the continuous support that you give me through reading my blog, it is indeed a huge motivation.

May the Triple Gems guard all of my loving readers <3 Have a happy time reading. Don't forget me to visit lifeasasrilankan.blogspot.com to get the latest entertainment news in Sri Lanka <3. Now to thank you all again Kim Soo Hyun style <3

Thank You so much for 10000+ views:)

Janathri Weeratunga 3:22 AM 0 Comments

Thank You blog readers for giving me 10000+ views. It has only been a month and you guys have given me 5000+ views for lifeasasrilankan.blogspot.com. It is just a big surprise. I didn't expect this much from a entertainment blog. I just randomly started this blog so that there a a premium blog about Entertainment news in Sri Lanka. This is such a motivation as you guys gave me 5000 views back in April right before the Sinhala and Tamil New Year.

I would keep updating you with the latest entertainment news in Sri Lanka. Expect some new articles on already showing teledramas in Sri Lanka. As soon as exams end next Wednesday I will be bringing you some new articles. Thank you all my Sri Lankan blog readers who even added me on Google Plus. Also thank you all the other readers from all over the world for supporting me with your views. Thank You so much.
