Beyonce - Ave Maria

This song resonates with my soul.

She was lost in so many different ways
Out in the darkness with no guide
I know the cost of a losing hand
Never thought the grace of God go high

I found heaven on earth
You were my last, my first
And then I hear this voice inside
Ave Maria

I've been alone when I'm surrounded by friends
How could the silence be so loud?
But I still go home knowing that I've got you
There's only us when the lights go down

You are my heaven on earth
You are my hunger, my thirst
I always hear this voice inside
Singing Ave Maria

Sometimes love can come and pass you by
While your busy making plans
Suddenly hit you and then you realize
It's out of your hands, baby you got to understand

You are my heaven on earth
You are my last, my first
And then I hear this voice inside
Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria

03 | The most valuable lesson you learned this year

The most valuable lesson you learned this year.

I don't really know.

I've learnt so many things this year that I'm not quite sure which one is the most valuable. I am grateful that my life isn't dramatic this year, after all, stress from year 12 alone is enough to scare me crazy.

But since school has ended, I guess this is the most important. If I want to continue a relationship with my friends, we've both got to take the initiative. I don't care if all we do is hang around at someone's house, at least we're together...and that's what counts. I want to be in their presence and remember that I can never take it for granted. After all, anything can happen in life. One minute they're there and then the next, they're gone (figuratively and literally). So I really want to sustain my friendship with the people who are dear to me. That's why I'm looking forward to my coffee dates :D

So I was on a HP fever...

Just looking though my tumblr and thought I'll do a repost :D

… LOLS.

One of the things I dislike about Twilight is that girls that I’ve meant dream and wish for their very own Edward. They live their fantasies by re-reading the Twilight saga and the things that they do just scream UNHEALTHY to me. They live in their dreams and forget reality, forgetting to live.

I’m not sure how to word this properly, but Twilight isn’t inferior because the idea came from a dream. Dreams can be catalysts for great things…its just that Twilight effects individuals in a way that they begin to dwell on their dreams of this perfect guy coming along to swoop them up and begin their happily ever after. And well, there’s a lot more to “happily ever after” than just having a perfect guy.

02 | A picture of a moment/day you will never forget in 2010

I completely forgot about this challenge. Then again, I've been so busy this last week because of the Christmas season. The last time my Christmas was this hectic was 2 years ago. It feels nostalgic to be running around the church trying to find matches to light the candle because I lost my lighter :/ (I don't smoke ==")

Anyways, one of the reason why I put this off was because they're are so many pictures to choose from and because Graduation Dinner was coming up. But I finally made up my mind and found the one I wanted...by going through Facebook (Y)



Since the picture is from Facebook, the quality isn't that great.

The reason why this moment is unforgettable is because it's the last time the class of 2010 of Killester College will be together. It's the last time we'll go crazy together, the last time we try to make an effort and do something, the last time we're gonna sing our hearts out, the last time we'll be awesome together. I don't think I'll ever be able to see most of these people ever again, and if I do, maybe I won't even remember who they are. But they're still very special to me. Each of them are part of the class of 2010. Together, we've grown up. Together, we've made it.

And well, I can't help but feel grateful to be surrounded by such awesome people. Teachers who have taught at other schools always go on about how great Killester girls are. How nice and genuine everyone is. How teachers are actually shown some respect and that we actually develop a relationship with them. I wish the teachers were in this picture too. They've played a great part of my life and I cherish them for all they've done.

Yellowface.

The Last Airbender

Rathbone told MTV News earlier this month that, "I think it's one of those things where I pull my hair up, shave the sides, and I definitely need a tan. It's one of those things where, hopefully, the audience will suspend disbelief a little bit."

Yes, because doing all the things above will help you achieve the "Asian look". Don't forget the sticky tape so that you'll achieve the slanty eyes!

Via CARTOON BREW, comic book artist Derek Kirk Kim is protesting as well: [AVATAR is] wholly and inarguably built around Asian (and Inuit) culture. Everything from to the costume designs, to the written language, to the landscapes, to martial arts, to philosophy, to spirituality, to eating utensils! -- It’s all an evocative, but thinly veiled, re-imagining of ancient Asia."

He continues, "Imagine if someone had made a “fantasy” movie in which the entire world was built around African culture. Everyone is wearing ancient African clothes, African hats, eating traditional African food, writing in an African language, living in African homes, all encompassed in an African landscape...but everyone is white. How offensive, insulting, and disrespectful would that be toward Africans and African Americans? How much more offensive would it be if only the heroes were white and all the villians [sic] and background characters were African American?

"My top choices for Aang were all young Asian-American actors. All of them had more talent and experience than Noah Ringer. But, Aibel and the producers had the final word. I am very disappointed with the cast that was chosen. My daughter hates me, now that her only hero (Katara) will not be an actress with a complexion close to our own. Mike and Bryan are also disappointed and feel that all the blood and sweat developing the Asian heroes was for nothing."

SOURCE: http://www.awn.com/news/films/avatar-last-airbender-casting-controversy-continues


Here is the original casting calls for The Last Airbender. I doubt they had any real intentions of casting any Asians for the lead roles. And well, I feel quite sorry for people who are aspiring to be actors, but aren't physically attractive enough :/

AANG: 12-15 years-old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. We are looking for a young man to play the lead role in a motion picture franchise. He must be athletic and graceful with an ability in Martial Arts (not necessarily extensive experience, but at least an aptitude for it). Kids with experience in gymnastics, dance, or sports could also be good. He is a young adventurer and should seem like the type of young man who will grow up to be heroic.

KATARA: 14-17 years-old, Female, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. She is Sokka’s younger sister. She is a headstrong and determined girl with a real sense of idealism. She believes in herself and feels that she can play on the same team as the boys. She is beautiful, intelligent, passionate, feisty, and has a real sense of adventure.

SOKKA: 16-20 years-old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is Katara's older brother. He is intelligent but awkward, and very funny (although not necessarily intentionally so). He aspires to greatness, but he tends to doubt himself. He is always one to be swayed by a pretty girl.

ZUKO: 16-20 years-old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is a brooding, intense young man who wrestles - not always successfully - with being good. Regaining his honor is a driving impetus for him. He is extremely handsome and is the type of dangerous boy every girl falls in love with. Athletic and/or martial arts experience is a plus.

There is no way I can word my feelings towards this subject better than Derek Kim has done above. I feel uneasy when I watch a film that has been adapted from a story where the characters are Asian but are replaced by Caucasian actors.

To constantly have Asians being denied the chance to play a role which are "designed" for them is just upsetting. There are many Asians out there who could play these roles, but instead, they are offered to Caucasian actors. Maybe its because the producers believe that Asian actors aren't box office draws or because they don't have the experience...but that's just because they're constantly denied any work. The only place where Asian actors can shine is in martial arts films or as the antagonist. And honestly, we're more diverse than that. Not every Asian is awesome at martial arts and we aren't all planning on ruling the world.

The main reason why I dislike whitewashing is that it underlies the notion of white/Caucasians being morally superior, or just superior in general, compared to people who are coloured. Well, that's what I get out of it anyway, not sure about anyone else.

Now, if I can make a tangent...let's talk about Avatar. The storyline of Avatar is similar to many events throughout history, where European colonizers are determined to obtain certain valuables or resources from the land in which indigenous people inhabit. So, it's not surprising that the notion also applies to Avatar. It takes a Caucasian male to save an entire civilisation, an entire nation if you will.

So, I'll just end this with something I found a while ago.

A good read about this topic from Derek Kim's blog: http://derekkirkkim.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-day-in-politics-same-old-racist.html and http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/01/28/DDMU15ICE4.DTL
Below are just some quotes that I wanted to highlight for myself...so take no notice of this :D

Or even worse, having our hearts broken over and over going after roles that specifically call for Asian Americans like "Avatar, The Last Airbender" only to see them go to white actors.

Back in my Drama days in high school, I used to dream of being white so I could pursue acting.

"The Last Airbender" has the potential to be something like "Star Wars"—something with lasting value that could give new heroes to your average household in America. And to have something for Asian American kids, and ethnic kids in general, to look up to. To let them know heroes can also look like them and speak fluent English like them.

African Americans kids can finally, realistically dream of being president one day. Can't Asian American kids—perhaps my kids—at least dream of being something as relatively insignificant as central characters in some escapist Hollywood movie where everything is stolen from their heritage?




"What frustrates us most is that you had this amazing opportunity - you've got a nation of fans who love this quintessentially Asian story," Kim says. "This could have broken down every barrier in the business, proving you can have an all-Asian cast and score three blockbuster successes. Instead, we just get three more chances to cringe."

I've enjoyed watching Mary Stayed Out All Night. It's very adorable but I'm not gonna lie, I do get agitated by it sometimes. But that's a simply problem that can be fixed. The fastforward button can be your best friend~

My version of Marilyn Monroe words

If I can't take care of you at your worst, then I sure as hell don't deserve you at your best

This fanmade video is amazing. It's got a different tone and is more romantic compared to the drama, but its equally awesome. GAH, this fan knows how to make awesome videos. Great choice of music and scene selection!

01| A letter to the friend who has been there through your hardest time in 2010

I'm going to cheat and address this to more than one friend.

To my awesome friends,

We have been together for 6 years now.

That's six years of history that has been engraved in my memory. Although my memory fails me from time to time, just know that every memory we've created is precious and can never be replaced.

Throughout our friendship, we've had our ups and downs. But we made it. We made it through all the bad times. We've had our lows, and if we can make it through that, what can stop us from being friends in the future? Sure, our lives will change after this year; we won't be able to see each other every single day, we won't be able to be in the same classes, we won't be able to take for granted what school has given us - the foundation of our friendship, the place where we first met.

But you know what? We spend our holidays without much contact. We don't always meet up, we've got other commitments. Despite that, when we do meet up, nothing changes. We're not bitter for not staying in contact, we're not sour because we spend our times with others. At times like those, I truly understand what it means to have friends who you don't keep in contact for a long time with nothing changing. You're still my friend, and I'm yours.

I'm honesty happy that nothing dramatic has happened to me this year. Exams are probably the hardest experience we'll go through as well as separation from school and the friends we've made along the way. But you're always with me, every step of the way. You accept me, faults and all. There's nothing more I can ask for.

I love you guys.

". . . There are just certain people in this world that you meet and instantly hit it off with. The chemistry blows through the roof. It's intense, like this gripping fire that just won't you let you go. You feel as though you've known them for a long time, like an old friend who managed to travel with you life time after life time. The conversations are great, perfect. The interactions are intimate, personal. You tell that person everything about yourself, every little secret. You're not shy, you're liberated.

We may not be there yet, but we can be, can't be?

HAHA, I don't think this letter really addresses the challenge...but whatever~

Another challenge :O

Just backtracking Sophie's blog and thought this was a nice challenge :D

She's done so many quizzes and challenges that it still amazes me to this day~

Amy Diamond - Bittersweet

It's hard to find the thing to say
I'm vulnerable and frail
So I wrap my heart in bubble plastic
Just in case it breaks

Before you and I go much further now
I'm asking you to tell me
Do you really want my love?
Is it really me you're thinking of?
When you smile at me
It's so bittersweet
Let me know
Before tomorrow comes along
Cause baby I'm already in too deep
Until then I love you bittersweet

I can't let go
But this I know
I won't let you stay
If you're not sure about the way you feel
About the two of us today
Before you and I go much further now
I'm asking you to please tell me

Do you really want my love?
Is it really me you're thinking of?
When you smile at me
It's so bittersweet
Let me know
Before tomorrow comes along
Cause baby I'm already in too deep
Until then I love you bittersweet

It's heaven when when you say it's you and me
But hell when you're gone mysteriously
I'd rather be alone than lost and torn
Maybe I must make it on my own
I'm feeling incomplete
Loving you is so bittersweet

Do you really want my looo-ooo-ooo-ooooooove?

Do you really want my love?
Is it really me you're thinking of?
When you smile at me
It's so bittersweet
Oh let me know
Before tomorrow comes along
Cause baby I'm already in too deep
Until then I love you bittersweet
Until then I love you bittersweet

- The Quiet World, Jeffrey McDaniel -

In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.

- The Quiet World, Jeffrey McDaniel -

Isn't it beautiful?

My room :D

A couple of years ago, I took a picture of my room before exams and after exams. Here's the post if anyone is interested...

So, I was bored from studying and decided to take pictures of my desk this time :D Quite obviously, I was doing some Chemistry revision. Since I've got a camera this time, the pictures are of higher quality! But I accidentally saved them with paint while trying to resize it...so the quality still sucks... XD

From the post linked above, this was my desk 2 years ago.



LOLS. Not too much has changed. I've still got some of the same stuff there.
Like the pictures, glass of water, whiteboard, CDs, books, pink pen holder etc.
However, the top of the table is a lot more packed :D

I think I'll annote a picture... LOLS.
Like I said, I don't want to study right now.


(Click on the picture to see an enlarged version :D)


I'll be back to update :D

South Korea and Homosexuality

Union of mothers create anti-gay ad because of drama “Life Is Beautiful”

With SBS’s drama, “Life Is Beautiful“, showing a gay couple as part of the story plot, mothers worried about the futures of their children, created a union and released a newspaper ad on September 29th through Chosun Journal.

The ad stated, “If my son becomes gay and dies from Aids after watching ‘Life Is Beautiful’, SBS must take responsibility!”

The union that released the ad stated, “‘Life Is Beautiful’ has glamorized the culture of gays against what is realistically, healthy and proper for the citizens of Korea.”

The ad became highly controversial immediately after its release, and more so after tweets by popular gay TV star, Hong Seok Cheon.

On the afternoon of the 29th, he tweeted, “‘Take responsibility for my son becoming gay because of the drama?’ What a funny ad, but also quite disappointing. Soon they will be putting out an ad saying don’t hang out with Hong Seok Cheon if you don’t want to be gay. This was the exact reason I was fired from ‘BboBboBbo‘ 10 years ago when I first came out. All of those calls made to the broadcast company asking to take me off the show. If such logic was true, all of those children that were on a part of the show with me should be gay by now, but they aren’t.”

He went on to write, “The gay couple that is shown on ‘Life Is Beautiful’ is so beautifully and realistically drawn. If there really is a son out there that becomes gay after watching the drama, it is not because he became gay but because he actually was gay and finally earned enough confidence to come out. It could be the drama that gave him that strength to come out to his parents and ask for understanding. How unfortunate for the children that live under the parents that put out such a trashy advertisement. Aids is not a disease specific to gays. How is it that I found out that I was gay 25 years before I saw the drama ‘Life Is Beautiful?’ What kind of dramas did the gays in the 50s, 60s, and 70s watch in order to become gay? Being gay is not a contagious disease, you fools.”

Hong concluded his series of tweets by stating, “The people that put out this ad not only demolished the human rights of gays but of Aids patients as well. This is such an amazing country, allowing such ads to be put out. This ad being released is a more severe problem than the fact that gays are shown on a public broadcast drama. Anything can be released as long as money is involved, I suppose.”

He received much support for his tweets and stated again on the 30th, “I thank everyone that has sent me support mail. Compared to the hate mail I received 10 years ago, there is so much support that has made me cry and feel endlessly thankful. I feel as if my loneliness and sorrow during the past 10 years has finally been delivered. I’ve now earned the confidence to live on even harder for the next 10 years. I’ll become a Hong Seok Cheon that satisfies everyone not only as a businessman but as an actor as well. Thank you.”

Hong was one of the first celebrities in the Korean entertainment industry to come out 10 years ago and is now the father of two adopted children.

[10.10.02] Dongwan’s memolog: The view towards homosexuality [Selfishness of the majority]

This is probably the typical Korean “My child is precious” syndrome.

Homosexuals are also children of parents.

There isn’t any life that isn’t precious.

This advertisement is as good as using a knife to stab the parents of homosexuals who are somewhere out there,
As good as driving the homosexuals, who want to be under daylight, towards darkness.

I’m heterosexual and can’t fully understand homosexuality.
But I know for sure homosexuality is not an illness, nor is it toxic.
It does not need treatment or medication.
Homosexuals are people who, since they were born, have been living difficult lives that others cannot understand.

What we should do is not to persecute or drive them out,
But to help them not to live the wrong way in darkness, and to give them our understanding.

The problem with this incident is not the union’s ignorance,
Just like what the writer Kim Soo Hyun said
The problem lies with the media, where even major newspapers can accept absurd advertisements as long as they are paid.
As always…

Credits: Dongwan’s Naver blog + Absolut Shinhwa

Dongwan, one of my favourites in SHINHWA. See, I always knew thew there was a reason why he was near the top of the list. Putting aside his adorableness and bromance with Minwoo, I love reading his blog entries. I feel as if I know him better than the other members because of it. But what I really admire is that he isn't afraid to state his opinion. He's a celebrity, an idol. He's actions are scrutinsed. So, for Dongwan to have the courage to openly express his opinins, which is quite unpopular, to a society like South Korea...

...

He's perfect a good man. I'm proud of my fondness for him :D

He's got my love, support and respect.

But honestly, I want to find a guy like Dongwan.

I've finally finished this challenge! Never thought it'll be so hard to do :/
I got lazy and just did a bunch of them in one go XD
I was taking a look at some other people's answers for this challenge...
I found it funny how every question was BIG BANG orientated.
I know that everyone around me knows that I'm a dedicated DBSK fan...
so I wanted to post some different artists...despite them being my other biases ^^

30 | a k-pop idol that has amazing eye smiles

CHANGMIN



DONGWAN
Seriously...how can this man be 31 years old?!


LEE SEUNG GI


JUNYOUNG


KEVIN, KWANGHEE, JUNYOUNG

29 | a k-pop song you never get tired of

PARK HYO SHIN - Deja vu
This is the only song I can think of right now...I'm sure there are others though XD

28 | your favorite cover of an american song by a k-pop artist

PARK HYO SHIN - Listen (Beyonce Cover)
A wonderful song. I'm still in love with this song till this day.
But...having a male sing it just makes it even better.
His voice is just so beautiful.
I think I've run out of words to describe my love for his voice...
Simply amazing. AMAZING!!!~



JUNSU - My Everything
This man can sing in any language he wants, have crap
pronunciation, be a total FOB and I'll still listen to him sing.
I wish I can see him on stage on day...

27 | your favorite dance battle

DANCE BATTLE: SHINHWA vs SE7EN
Took me a while to find it, but here it is~
The quality isn't that great...
but when I first got into KPOP, I remember how awed I was by this.
I think it was this dance battle ^^"



Dance Battle: ZE:A vs BEAST
So...this isn't my favourite, but one of the most recent ones I've watched ;D



Dance Battle: Battle of the Princesses
(Seriously, this was what it was called...if I remembered right)
This may not be my most favourite dance battle, but it sure is one of the most memorable.
I watched it because of KARA, Wonder Girls, SNSD and Black Pearl.
My sister watched it for her Kim Bum XD
I'm pretty sure they had debutted in the same year (2007) at around the same time.
As a fan of KARA back then, I felt so bad for them. I don't remember why anymore...but its probably due to the difference in popularity.
Wonder Girls and SNSD has always been popular, it wasn't until recently that KARA shone.
Black Pearl suffered the most. I always considered them more of a ballad group...so for them to do a dance battle was kind of... ehhh?

26 | your favorite cover of a k-pop song by another k-pop artist

PARK HYO SHIN - Look Only At Me
I've always liked the song orginally sang by Taeyang, but when Park Hyo Shin sang it... DAMN. HAHAHA.
Sorry, it's not that I'm biased, but it was so different and refreshing to hear him cover the song.
I became so obessed over his cover that I ripped it from the video and it was on repeat
for days on end. I still love it to bits. Awesome performance from my bias :D

P.S: I can only remember two of the "back up" singers in the back - Lyn and Wheesung.

25 | your favorite k-pop music video

== There's too many to list...but let's give this a go :D

P.S: I know this is a repeat of 11...but I thought I should do another one anyway XD Different time = different moods = different MVs (Y)

ERU - White Snow
I love this song and the music video is simply adorable.
The first time I saw it in year 8/9, I fell in love.
With Eru, with the storyline, with the piano, with his voice.
But what really sealed the deal was the snow.
Although I've got to admit, there were some weird scenes...



KIM BUM SOO - Forgetting the Regrets
Such a beautiful song.
Although the MV may not be the most beautiful - in terms of actors and scenery -
but the raw emotions of the actors was just....WOW.
The scene where both start to cry, I had shivers down my spine... ^^"



UNTOUCHABLE - Tell Me Why
This was one of the songs that stood out to me the most from their first album...
it's also because I couldn't find any other subbed videos by them back then.
HAHAHA.
Anyways, the music is great and the video had me at the edge of my seat the
first time I saw it. The storyline still confuses me a bit...but I'll let that pass...



WHEESUNG - Fading Star
What more can I ask for?
Adorable Wheesung and gorgeous looking Hyori.
It's been a while since I've watched the MV, but there was a part that just killed me.
I never knew how much Wheesung's voice could affect me until then...

24 | a picture of a k-pop idol who you think is overrated

I don't like to think that a group is overrated. I try to think of all the hard work that they put in to achieve their goals. But there comes a time when a group's activities is just over hyped. Maybe its because the fans have so much expectation that when the group releases something...its really, underwhelming.

The first name that came to find was

2NE1

I was quite excited for their debut. Park Bom was officially debuting! And well, being labeled as the "female" version of Big Bang was a good thing, no? After all, The Grace didn't disappoint with their label as the "female" version of DBSK.

But anyway, they had a fairly good debut. I thought it was good, but not something outstanding like OHEMGEE, THEY ARE TOTALLY AWEEEEEEESOME. Their following releases were met with high enthusiasm, that it was sure to top the charts etc. But really, the song was really really....weird. Maybe weird isn't the right word to describe it, but it was underwhelming.

I expected more, but they didn't deliver. However, what I really dislike is how every girl group is being compared to them. Comments such as "2NE1 could have done much better", "2NE1 copycat", "Those girl groups ain't nothing against 2NE1" etc etc. 2NE1 aren't the first to do a concept, nor will they be the last.

Gah, I have no words right now...still hung over LB. I NEED MORE BOE DRUGS!

23 | a picture of a k-pop idol who you think is underrated

Hm, I guess this would go to Supernova and Children of Empire.

Supernova was just awesomely epic when they debuted, but they left to venture into the Japanese market. I didn't know why Korea didn't adore them like I did..HAHA. But all is fine because they're finally getting the attention that they need.

Children of Empire are still quite young, so yeah.


Special mention to D-NA.
I think they have quite nice vocals.
All they need is practice practice practice to
have solid vocals and more love from Korea.
Stupid reporters need to keep saying they're the next "DBSK".

22 | your favorite picture of your favorite k-pop group

There's just too many DBSK group pictures that I like...

So instead of choosing just one, I found a whole heap. Shame that I don't know where my picture collection is...

21 | your favorite picture of your girl k-pop bias

Same pictures as THIS post

20 | your favorite picture of your guy k-pop bias

I give up, I'm just gonna post any picture of Minwoo.
I couldn't find the picture I wanted of SE7EN, so I started looking for Minwoo.
Couldn't find it either so I'm just gonna post this one instead.



And just because I can, I want to add a picture of Chae Dong Ha.
I feel like he's disappeared or something :(
I miss listening to his voice.
So beautiful and soulful.

19 | your favorite interview of a k-pop idol or group

Sorry man, I can't seem to find it.

But the interview is of DBSK back in around 2006/2007.

They were just so adorable as they teased Junsu, questioned him on his English skills, started hitting each other and just being dorks. Despite their success at that time, they were still very humble. Appreciating every opportunity and every fan that has helped them achieve their success. I remember being awed and just admiring them.

18 | a k-pop idol you wish was your younger sibling

SHINee - Taemin

Cause with him, I can dominate the world!
Seriously, he's like the most popular member in the group.
He's the makane = power and control!
And...well...he looks better than me when dressed as a girl T_T

17 | a k-pop idol you wish was your older sibling

Hm....older sibling. This is a tough choice. There's so many people to choose from.

SS501 - Jungmin
I'll never be bored if Jungmin is my older sibling.
He's so full of crack I wonder how he manages to be so high and random most of the time.




AND, SHINHWA - Eric Mun.
Don't have time to post picture, but yeah :D
Oh, who am I kidding, It's Eric!!
He's a wonderful leader, arguably one of the best.
He's stuck by his members through thick and thin.
He used his own money to separate SHINHWA from SME.
He cares for his members as if they're related by blood.
He's just so...awesome.

16 | your favorite k-pop lyric (and a translation)

ERU - WHITE SNOW

한 사람을 너무 사랑했던거죠 얼마나 나를 아프게 할지도 모르고
I've loved one person so much, not knowing how much she could hurt me
기뻐했죠 이 세상에 그댈 가진 사람 나하나 뿐이라며
I was happy, saying that I was the only one who had her
흰 눈이 내리던 어느 날 그 고운 입술로 날 사랑한다고
One day, when white snow came falling, saying she loved me with her beautiful lips
안녕이란 말을 하고 그대가 내 곁을 떠나갔죠
Saying goodbye, she left my side
몰랐었죠 우리 헤어진다는건 정말 그대가 내 사랑인줄 알았는데
I didn't know that we were going to separate.
좋아했죠 그대 나와 같은 생각하고 있을거라 믿었죠
I thought you were my love.
흰 눈이 내리던 어느 날 그 고운 입술로 날 사랑한다고
I was happy, I believed that we would be thinking the same thoughts
안녕이란 말을 하고 그대가 내 곁을 떠나갔죠
Saying goodbye, she left my side
하얀 눈위에 멀어져 가는 그대가 남겨둔 발자국 세며
In the white snow, I count your footsteps which are getting further away
멍하니 바보처럼 떠나가는 뒷모습 보면서 울었죠
Numb, like an idiot, I watched and cried as you walked away

흰 눈이 내리던 어느 날 그 고운 입술로 날 사랑한다고
One day, when white snow came falling, saying she loved me with her beautiful lips
안녕이란 말을 하고 그대가 내 곁을 떠나갔죠
Saying goodbye, she left my side
흰 눈이 내리던 어느 날 그 고운 입술로 날 사랑한다고
One day, when white snow came falling, saying she loved me with her beautiful lips
안녕이란 말을 하고 그대가 내 곁을 떠나갔죠
Saying goodbye, she left my side
내 곁을 떠나갔죠
She left my side

ERU - BLACK GLASSES

까만 안경을 써요 아주 까만 밤인데 말이죠
I put on my black glasses, and it truly becomes a black night
앞이 보이지 않아도 괜찮아요 나는 울고
Even though I can’t see in front of me, I know I’m all right
싶을 뿐이죠
I just want to cry
한 여자가 떠나요 너무나 사랑 했었죠
My only woman has left me, I truly did love her
그래요 내 여자에요 내 가슴속에서 울고 있는 여자
Yes, she was my women, the one who also cries within my heart

사랑해요 나도 울고 있어요 난 보고 싶어서 만나고
I love you! I’m crying alongside you! Because I miss you,
싶어서 차라리 죽고만 싶어요
Because I want to see you, I want to just die
미안해요 잘해주지 못한 나지만 이별까지도 사랑
I’m sorry! That I was the one who could do nothing for you, until our separation
할꺼에요 행복한 사람이 되어 주세요 제발요
I’ll love you and I hope you can be happy for me, please

15 | a k-pop song that reminds you of someone you miss

Since I can't post videos right now, I'll just put down the song name and I'll come back to edit another day ;D

DBSK - One

SS501 - Love Like This

SES - ..........

H.O.T - .......

SHINHWA - .....


As you can see...I gotta go back and find the song I'm referring too xD

14 | a k-pop song that makes you smile

Hmmm, I'm trying to not reuse the songs I've already posted.

DBSK - My Little Princess
I would be so giddy if a guy ever sang this to me.
It's very sweet and one of the first songs which made me realise
just how much I love their voices.
They're harmonise is awesome like always <3 Oh! Not to forget their wardrobe. HAHAHA. I never understood why Yunho was the only one with a flower printed shirt. And he's the only member with pants that have strings (?) coming out. Jaejoong's got bandages(?) around his arms. Changmin's shirt doesn't fit properly...and you can see his stomach :D
SS501 - Snow Prince
The English in this song is pure fail.
"Show me your eyes and give you my love"
But the reason why it makes me smile is because it reminds me
of the good old days in year 8.
I was always singing this song...despite the poor English.
And the members all look so young and adorable here.




*HONOURABLE MENTION*
Because it's a Japanese song XD

THSK - Together
This is just crack. PURE CRACK.
This MV will forever be my guilty pleasure.
The concept of it is quite cute, but seriously... it's just hilarious.
When they're all walking together, I laugh so hard cause they're all the same height!
(They're not! HAHA)
Also..they're so in sync it's hilarious. HAHAHAHA.
Words just can't describe how weird this MV is.
"My friend. Kimi wa boku my friend"

13 | a k-pop group you dislike and why

I don't dislike any group anymore.

No group has done anything to make me dislike them. I may not like their music or personalities on shows, but that's about it.

The only group that has come close to making me dislike them is Big Bang.

It's funny cause I was a fan since the day they debuted. But as the years went by, I began to dislike certain aspects of the group...or members of the group. However, it was the first time I ever let a group's fans muddle my feelings towards a group.

I began to dislike Big Bang because of their fans.

I began to dislike Big Bang because I saw this arrogance that was beginning to develop.

I began to dislike Big Bang because they didn't give a rat's arse about another country's culture. They are idols, people who many people look up towards, people who people will scrutinise...and to blatantly display such disrespect pissed the shit out of me.

I began to dislike Big Bang because they were very very close to being overrated in my eyes.

But really, the main reason that fueled my dislike was their fans.

Of course, I've gotten over it. The fans have nothing to do with the artists...and it's not like I don't like their music. It's just...people pick on the Cassies for what they've done in the past. They've obviously changed, so can't everyone move on? No, not for some fans. They need to constantly bring up the past to put down the Cassies and their idols to make theirs seem more superior.

Sigh.

Point one; the fans.

It's an old topic, but I'll write about it anyway. DBSK vs Big Bang. It was THE topic for quite some time a couple of years ago.

Here's the deal, DBSK was at the height of their game in Korea back in 2006. But they left to pursue their careers in Japan. They began from the bottom and raised to the top. They didn't use anyone's name or fame to help them. They preserved with their skills.

Back in Korea, Big Bang began to rise in popularity. With the release of Lies, they became the "it" group. They experienced immense popularity and followed up with Last Farewell (which I reckon is really really similar to Lies...but Haru Haru is more similar...)

So, in 2008, it was a face off. The "it" idols from 2006 vs the "it" idols from 2008. Whichever article mentioned Big Bang and DBSK together was sure to get a tonnes of hits and comments (of course, I'm generalising and only taking into perspective of the more popular kpop news sites).

Both Cassies (DBSK fans) and VIPs (Big Bang fans) were at each other's throats. Fan wars erupted and what did I do? Sit back and enjoy. At first, I thought it was amusing...the things that people will say to defend their idols.

However, in due time, I began to get irritated. I got annoyed and was in disbelief.

A bunch of VIPs were dissing DBSK - saying that they're over. They've got nothing else to give. They're old. People should just move on. Big Bang are "better", "superior" etc. And how did these people defend their claims? With their so called "truths". They weren't the truth, they were just statements of opinion.

And also, "no one in DBSK composes but Big Bang does". No. Get your facts right before anything else. The main composer of Big Bang at that time was G-Dragon. That's just one bloody person out of five people. Whilst for DBSK, there was Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu (But only Jaejoong and Yoochun's compositions were used for the group).

What I learnt from this experience was the lengths people would go to defend their idols, the lengths that people would go to disillusion themselves into believing that what everyone was saying was just lies to protect the image of their idols etc etc...

There are also a group of people who ruins a group for you... and that was what I experienced at the time. It wasn't a small minority either...which was what triggered by annoyance. Like I said, I've moved on from then and I can deal with annoying pests like them now.

Point two; arrogance.

I've been lucky to follow a group that have shown nothing but respect, gratefulness and humbleness throughout their career. Despite their immense popularity throughout Asia (and other countries across the world), they were always humble and down-to-earth guys.

That is not something I can say for Big Bang. Maybe it's because of the way the media has portrayed them or maybe it's because I've been seeing them in a negative light because of their fans, but I began to see arrogance. They were haughty...and I blame that on their sudden rise to fame. But like I said, maybe I was just trying to find faults in them because of the circumstance I was in. However, looking back on it, I still believe that they were haughty. Not all of the members, no...just one or two which I don't really want to name.

For all I know, it may just be an act they're putting on, but I dislike the arrogance I can interpret from their face.

Point three; disrespect.

Big Bang are currently promoting in Japan. They represent many of the things I despise about Korean artists/idols going to Japan. Firstly, I understand that there is a language barrier. However, you're on TV that will be watched across the world, at least show some respect and pretend to at least want to be in the country.

I loathe watching Big Bang feature in a show in Japan just to see how two members can't give a rat's arse about their promotions in the country. They're thoroughly bored and can't be bothered to hide it. They ruin Big Bang's imagine in Japan for me. The rest are trying the best to learn about the culture, language and fit in. They're showing genuine interest. Unlike the two who are obviously there to earn some extra money and return to Korea.

This may not be their intentions, but it's what comes across to me.




If I had to pinpoint one of the reasons why I was able to let go of my distaste for the situation, it's because I realised I was comparing them to DBSK. I was too blinded by what DBSK has offered and have put that expectations on others.

Who am I to say that Big Bang must also start from the bottom and work their way to the top (although I would have liked it if they weren't promoted in Japan as DBSK's rivals just to gain some attention and exposure. I would hate to be in Big Bang's shoes, knowing that some of the attention given to me is because of another group's success).

Who am I to say that artists can't be arrogant?

Who am I to say that Big Bang must respect another country's culture by learning the language and showing decent interest?

I am not the judge, but just the consumer.

So anyway, I've come to peace with Big Bang (HAHA, as if they'll care) and I've learnt more about the craziness that's involved in fandom.

Therefore,

I don't dislike any group anymore.

12 | the very first k-pop song you ever heard

Its a toss between Shinhwa - Perfect Man and BoA - No. 1.
It doesn't count the kpop songs that I heard in dramas as a kid.
Cause if that's the case, I'm gonna be stuck here trying to remember THE first drama and hence the FIRST song.


NOTE: I've already posted the MVs for Perfect Man and No. 1. songs below, so I'm not gonna bother doing it again.

11 | your favorite k-pop music video

This one is quite hard because I don't really care too much for MVs. Then again, sometimes they WOW me, sometimes they don't.

Park Hyo Shin - After Love
It's a beautiful song and the MV is the same.



Anyband - T.P.L
One of the BEST songs ever.
That's what you get for bringing BoA, Junsu, Tablo and Bora together.
Pure awesomeness.
Also, now that I've studied 1984, I've grown even more attached to this song.
Okay, attached may not be the right term...adore? :D

10 | a k-pop dance you’d like to learn

Easy peasy!

I would like to learn H.O.T - Candy. So what if it's from 1996?
The group looks so adorable and I want to have just as much fun. Hehehe.



DBSK - Balloons in Smurf costumes.
Once again, cuteness :D

09 | your favorite k-pop performance

Um, I don't really have a particular favourite. I just watch a performance and see whether it's enjoyable or not. There are times when the performance amazes me and times when it doesn't. But I've got to say, horrible live singing turns me off.

I cried the first time I watched this performance.
Ye-eun is amazing.
DBSK's English has improved.
I love this song.




Junsu's solo.
I'm very fond of the melody.
But what makes it truly amazing is his voice.



I wanted to add a video of SG WANNABE - I MISS YOU
But it's not on youtube :/
Non-idols need more love!
Back to the point, the reason why I wanted to post that performance up
was because it meant a lot to me, and SG Wannabe too.
One of their members was going to leave.
It was one of the last performances they would do together.
And the lyrics was beautiful.
If I have time, I'll upload the video.
I subbed it myself.

I am not lonely
Because above all else, I have memories
In front of this long separation, I can survive

Oh, my beloved
For my sake, be happy

I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
Even if my two eyes grow blind
While living, if I could only see you
I would be happy with that alone

I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
I offer up my soul

My happy memories have become sad
They are sad, I am beginning to cry

My dream·like love, goodbye

08 | a k-pop song you know all the words to

Haha, this will undoubtedly go to DBSK. I once remembered ALL the words to ALL their songs. I knew which song came from which album/single and the track number as well. I could tell you the year it was released and everything. But as I aged :( and as they released new songs, I stopped trying to memorise all their lyrics. I can only sing their recent title songs now.

Anyways, I'm going to post 2 songs. One belonging to DBSK and the other is the very first Korean song I learnt off my heart.

Children of Empire :D

So, I just woke up. Ended up watching some stuff with my sister on youtube - for anyone who is curious, I watched an episode of the Tyra Banks Show with the appearance of Porn Star Sasha Grey. We were talking about it during Ethics and I just wanted to watch the episode. I'm currently still trying to process all that stuff... But yeah, I needed to watch something that would entertain/distract me. Ended up looking for Idol League with Children of Empire and U-Kiss.

Decided to post up the last part of the episode - the members of Children of Empire (ZE:A) were challenged by U-KISS to eat these...weird/disgusting food. Their reactions are just so funny and LMAO. Kwanghee put his finger in his nose. That made me crack up more than I should have. Heechul's glare is still so very mesmerising, Siwan is adorable, Taehun looks so handsome (despite eating an eye), Minwoo and Hyungsik are just LMAO, I wanted to see more of Kevin, Dongjun's face expression is priceless (and that frog leg....*shivers*) and leader is cute as always :D

At the end, where Kevin (U-KISS) was eating the nostril and he asked whether there was puss there....gosh, I cracked up so badly. Eun Ji Won is as hilarious and cute as I can remember <3

07 | a k-pop song that makes you cry

The first song that popped into my mind, Park Hyo Shin - Snowflower.

I still remember the first time I heard it in I'm Sorry I Love You. Sure, I've heard it before that, but not how it was supposed to be heard - in a drama. I started crying. Bucket loads.Once I started, I couldn't stop.

I ended up crying myself to sleep. It was that painful and heart wrenching for me.




And a live performance





His voice kills me every time. Why is he so perfect?

06 | your favorite k-pop song from your favorite girl group

T-ARA | I don't really know if I have a favourite song...



Brown Eyed Girls (BEG) | I can't remember my favourite song from them right now. It's all in Korean writing...but I do like Sign. Much more than Abracadabra.




KARA | Here's Break It. The only song I remember from their debut album. The song with Sunghee :D



And here's an MV with all 5 of the current members. I couldn't remember what other songs they promoted except for Pretty Girl and Honey. And they've got really bad English in them so... Lupin it is. To this day, I still don't understand what this song is about....





HONOURABLE MENTION!
CSJH The Grace | So, this isn't a Korean song. It's Japanese. But this song is seriously beautiful. Even the MV is beautiful, simple and elegant! I love the antique feel to it. I adore the way each member's voice blends with one another and how they're layered. I wish they were promoted more, especially with all the girl groups debuting now-a-days.

05 | your favorite k-pop song from your favorite guy group

Errrrr.... this is hard.

DBSK is my ultimate bias and I've been their fan for nearly 4 years now. Through out these years, they've released like... 8 albums. That's a tonne of songs for me to choose from.

But at the end of the day, I love their ballads. Especially one that showcases their vocals and capabilities as singers. So my answer will probably be.... Love in the Ice, Forever Love, Bolero, Doushite, Rising Sun, Hey Girl etc.

Okay, I get defensive when someone says that DBSK can't sing. You can say that their songs don't suit to your tastes. You can say that they're "image" isn't your type. You can say that they're wardrobes and hairstyles are weird. You can say that they look like girls or are just a bunch of pretty boys. You can say anything, but you can't deny the fact that they can sing. They're stunning performers.


SS501 | At this point, probably Love Ya. I remember in year 8, I always sang to Snow Prince...even with the fobby English. But the reason why I'm so addicted to Love Ya is because of how simplistic and it reminds me of the old k-pop days. Nostalgia!

Shinhwa | Perfect Man. No matter what song Shinhwa will release in the future, Perfect Man will most likely always be my favourite. I heard it when I was really really really young...around 2003/4.

Children of Empire (ZE:A) | They haven't really released much. They did debut not too long ago. Their first song wasn't all too great (and the MV was like a rip-off from Mirotic).

Supernova (Cho Shin Sung) | Oh shit, this is hard. HAHAHA. I practically loved every single song from their debut album. I was always disappointed they weren't given much attention. They were so very awesome. But...favourite songs.... Hit (히트), Superstar, 슬픈 내 사람 and 너는 어디에. It's been 3 years and these songs are still on my iPod :D

04 | your ultimate k-pop girl bias

If I was asked this last year, I would have no hesitation with my answer. But sadly, IU is no longer my bias. She was when she debuted, but not anymore. I don't have an "ultimate" bias anymore, but I do have favourites. So I guess I'll just post pictures of my favourites :D

Yoon Eun Hye.
I've liked her ever since her Baby V.O.X days.
But what really consolidated my adoration for her was X-MAN.
She was just so freaking adorable and always managed to make me laugh.
I was so sad when she left. She hardly ever goes on variety shows anymore.
I liked her in Goong (I skipped all the boring scenes)
She portrayed the manhwa protagonist quite well.





Park Bom
I became a fan before she officially debuted with 2NE1.
She featured in two of Big Bang's songs, both which are my favourites.
Also, she was in THAT commercial with Lee Hyori and Lee Jun Ki.
Imagine the shock I got when I realised it was her.
But yeah, I loved her pre-debut, but I think she needs
to improve with her breathing on stage.




Victoria
I think she's really pretty. And she's so tall.
I'm not gonna lie, I was interested in her sine the time she
featured in SHINee's MV. I thought she was adorable :D
When she finally did debut with f(x), I was happy to know I'll
be seeing her around...despite initially thinking she was a model.
I started adoring her since she appeared on WGM with Khun.
She puts so much effort into everything and is just so adorable!

LB | 013

". . . There are just certain people in this world that you meet and instantly hit it off with. The chemistry blows through the roof. It's intense, like this gripping fire that just won't you let you go. You feel as though you've known them for a long time, like an old friend who managed to travel with you life time after life time. The conversations are great, perfect. The interactions are intimate, personal. You tell that person everything about yourself, every little secret. You're not shy, you're liberated. Then, on the other hand, there are other people in this world that you meet and instantly you can't stand them. Just the mention of their name and you cringe, you curse. Every move that person makes, you feel disgusted and angered. They could be eating and you could nitpick that they chew too loud, scrap their food too hastily. You become introverted, you don't speak because you feel it's a waste to share yourself with someone like that."

"And then there are certain people you meet, where at first you believe they are one way when in fact they turn out to be more than you ever expected of them. How behind a pretty face — is a dark soul."

credits: Solangel - Love Bugged

I loved this chapter. It was a breather. Not only that, but the chemistry between Tamhee and Boe intensified. I am so gonna print this out so that I can read it to cheer me up :D

03 | your ultimate k-pop guy bias

Well, I'm not gonna include the members of DBSK. It'll be too hard.

The person who I'm going to put up is probably my ultimate ballad singer bias. I love him. I love his voice. I love his music. I don't know much about him, especially since there's limited information on him to begin with. Since the influx of kpop idol groups, you hardly ever see any solo artists and such. That's the case of this special guy.

I finally managed to buy his latest release (which has been a year or more ago). I was so happy the day I bought it. To finally have my hands on this work...I was in heaven. So, without further ado, here's some pictures I managed to find of Park Hyo Shin.

I don't know who this gif belongs to :/

02 | your favorite k-pop girl group

I don't tend to follow girl groups because I either find them really cutesy or sexy. There's surely more variety than that, but that's the concept that most girl groups are given...cause that's what the general public like. That's why I like it when they go for the mature image and do not show too much skin to prove that they are indeed "mature".

Below are the groups that I'm interested in. I keep a tab on them from time to time :D

T-ARA
They have so much stage presence.
Especially Hyomin, Eunjung and Jiyeon (+Soyeon).
Well, that's from my perspective.



Brown Eyed Girls (BEG)
I love their voices.
I remember being clueless about what they looked liked.
I never cared because their music was enough for me.
I can now safely say that I know all of their names :D



KARA
I follow them from time to time...but music wise, I like their older stuff.
I miss Sunghee. She added more variety and vocal strength to the group.

01 | your favorite k-pop guy group

This is the easiest one of all.

They're forever my ultimate bias.
No group has ever come close.
No group ever will.

Even in this crisis, I am willing to wait.
It may take 1 more year. 2 more years. 5 more years.
But I'm willing to wait.

Only DBSK can do that to me.
Only them.

Of course, DBSK aren't the only k-group that I follow. Through not as closely, I do follow...

SS501


Shinhwa


Children of Empire (ZE:A)


Supernova (Cho Shin Sung)
