Well I’ve been watching Mary Stayed Out All Night recently. All day I just watch past episode and now it’s just down to the final 2.
So I decided to make a list of dramas I have seen and yet to see. I created a separate page for it. If you scroll down this blogsite and look at the bottom left you will find there “Pages” and under that is Drama-thon. That page contains a list of k/j-do )
That’s all I wanted to share. Will be posting when I finish MSOAN ♥
I won’t deny that I have a love for dramas especially Korean and Japanese dramas. Yes, most of them are cliches and I watch them for the sake of seeing my favorite stars on television, I still think that they are entertaining at most. I have decided to create a list of Korean and Japanese doramas that I have seen and yet to see. The list can be changed though. If I feel like the story is too boring and I am unable to see through to the end I will take it off my list. Oh and I will be providing reviews as well whenever I have the time >:))
As I walked into the restroom there was only a middle-aged woman standing inside. She looked irritable like an old maid even though I could tell that she was only middle-aged. I went on to find a clean cubicle but none of the cubicles were clean. Each looked really filthy. In that situation I would end up not doing my thing. I have this sort of obsessive compulsiveness when it comes to seats like a chair, toilet seat and such. It has to be clean and without any sort of stain or else I'd feel really uncomfortable and probably not sit at all. So with this thought in my head, I became slightly worried. But I had no other choice and so I entered one cubicle. I looked around and noticed how filthy and yellow each tile was and how black each gap was. Ugh. Then the toilet seat was so dirty in my head I imagined a thousand germs and whatnot crawling about. Who knows what disease I might catch if my skin touches the toilet seat. I was going to do my business when the middle-aged woman started talking loudly. She was saying non-sense and I became a little alarmed with the way she acted. I panicked. Screamed. The next thing I know I was calling for her from inside the cubicle. "Ahjumma, Ahjumma!!!"
Then I woke up. It was all a dream. A nightmare, rather. Sigh.
The moment I opened my eyes, I started to panic again. My eyes felt droopy and wanting to go back to sleep but my brain says I couldn't because the nightmare would continue. I tried to fight my sleepiness and it took awhile. I felt a tinge of fear for I might not be able to wake up again and fight off the nightmare. You know, that feeling of your body becoming paralyzed and your mind is racing to what you should do. It was exactly that. Every time I have a dream like this, it's almost impossible to wake up. And each time I know that I am awake but unable to open my eyes. It's quite similar to drowning. You know you're going to die but you can't do anything about it.
The day was quite eventful. My aunt asked me to accompany her and do grocery shopping for Christmas eve. Instances like these are not as often as before so I couldn't let it pass by and let my laziness take over again. I couldn't think of anything to talk about as usual. Although the trip was completely silent. There was small talk here and there. In those awkward moments I imagined Eli puffing his cheeks. I saw him on this variety show yesterday and he was dating someone from a girl group and it was really awkward. So awkward that he resumed to puffing his cheeks. Haha. I did the same quite a few times. See, I was never good with conversation. There I was again thinking of saying this and that and ending up not saying anything because I held it back thinking it wouldn't be understood or it would be uninteresting :l But that's okay because inside my head almost a hundred conversations happen everyday. Here in my own little world :)
We to the department store and passed by the Converse area. I pointed out those leather sneakers I wanted which was in the men's section. Sadly, the smallest size doesn't fit me. My aunt was wondering why I wanted that Converse for men. Quite frankly, I think the designs for the men look better than the women's. But it's probably because of my taste. I dislike those which have so much color. Especially if I have to wear them. I can say I am a minimalist but black is really a versatile color. It's a pretty good investment :)
I went out today without my mobile phone or money. Luckily I didn't need it. It was good that I did something else today rather than just sit in front of the computer. Yet I have a lot of work to be done and so far I have done only one. I better start before I forget these things that I'm supposed to do. I must buy a planner as well.
Shalom~
Today I learned “Suki, suki” and “doki, doki” phrases lool. Nah~ I was reading the NeoGenesis interviews of The Gazette members and realized that Kai isn’t exactly who I thought he was. He left a whole new impression on me with just that short interview. I always thought he was the soft-hearted, nice guy but now I think he’s not that sympathetic haha. He gave off that cold vibe that Aoi gives off. But I think he is ultimatelycool as a person. All 5 of them are I also hope the same thing that Kai hopes for. That they continue on a band for as long as they could. I hope that they stay as a rock band like what Aoi said an become as influential as X Japan and LUNASEA. From here I will always give them all my support and look forward to watching them perform live someday. Until then I can only watch them from my computer screen but that doesn’t hinder the feelings that they put in every song they ever make. Yes, when it comes to Gazette I have a flair for the dramatic O.O But i can’t help it. Their music is one of the turning points in my life, believe it or not. It all makes sense to me. It all relates to me in some way or the other. Somehow I find that creepy but I believe that whatever message they put in their songs all of that is genuine.
GAZEROCK WILL NEVER DIE \,m/ ♥
And I can say this forever.
I hope that they will enjoy making more Gaze music according to their want. I hope they don’t lose meaning in what they do together as a band. And yes they are getting older so I hope they take care of their health and live to become the exceptional band they truly are. ♥
Shalom~ Finally it’s vacation time! It’s Christmas season and everyone should feel happy and grateful ^-^ It is a time for celebration but most of all we shall not forget that Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus. It’s disappointing how it has become superficial over the years. Santa Claus has overshadowed the person we should be celebrating. Somehow it has lost it’s sincerity. Like the words ‘thank you’ or ‘i’m sorry’ which people say so easily just because it has become routine even though they don’t really mean it. You give gifts because you feel obligated yo do so. (This is Theology finally making sense to me ) When you were young there was so much excitement whenever Christmas was nearing but as you grow old you become occupied with other things that you fail to appreciate this time of the year. That is what happened to me and probably to other people as well.
Whatever~
On Friday, Dec. 17 we (BESH) held our Christmas party at Ange’s crib Cool crib by the way hee hee. Anyway I thought I wouldn’t attend things like these in college anymore but well that’s what went down last Friday It was hella fun. It’s actually a first for me to join a pool party and I haven’t been able to swim in so long. It was only like 2-3 hours but that’s okay because no one wants to get sunburned and we couldn’t miss the last train on the way home. It was like a kiddie party haha. Some people are soo not ready to grow up huh? Lol. It’s a good thing I didn’t put so much effort into wrapping my present. LRT rules states sealed packages must be unwrapped for checking :l Eh, what a killjoy. If I put and insect or something else in that package as a prank then it would have been ruined. CAn’t blame them though. Rules are rules and everyone’s safety must be assured.
Today 19th of December was GTOP’s comeback stage ^0^ Very refreshing and amusing stage. See for yourself. epicness this way
Here’s the one with Bommie unni
Haha TOP dances like a granpa and I am amused.
It seems that Big Bang likes 2ne1 nunas haha. Maybe it’s just me >.= Who knows? This makes me even more excited for when Big Bang comes back altogether. It’ll be an even bigger comeback stage with all of them combined
Oooh and I saw 2pm debut on Music Japan on YT :l If NHK hasn’t changed schedules then Music Japan will air tonight at 11pm and it might be the same episode. I want to watch it on television too. I haven’t seen Music Japan for ages.
If people try to bring you down it only means you are above them.
True ^-^
Gazerock will never die \m/ And that concludes this post. Lool . Of course when it comes to Gazette I have a lot to say. Anyway I found this on live journal and thought of spreading the word. So nice to see them again after months.
I swear there’s something different about Ruki. But I can’t seem to put a finger on it. I still ship his voice though. i’d marry it if I could hee hee. When Aoi played the acoustic it was like Cassis all over again ♥♥♥ I miss hearing Uruha’s guitar solos. I don’t ever want to go deaf because then I won’t be able to hear his solos. Shame. Oh and I love Kai’s hair! He totally rocked it. He should keep it even though its just extensions. But his eyebrows look weird though O.o It’s probably shaved and drawn hehe XD
~Currently listening to a cover of The True Murderous Intent (Gazette). ~
Here it is. Just a little noise reduction and it would’ve have been awesome. I mean dude learned it by ear in under15 minutes! O: I wish I could do that. Sigh u_u
~True Murderous Intent~
Tsk tsk I sure missed a lot this past few months. No worries. I shall catch up ☺ Will love Gazette for as long as I exist♥♥♥
Argh :/ GD and TOP are released a a preview of their song just today. Sigh. But I can’t listen to it yet because I’m restricting myself from Kpop updates during weekdays So sad I can’t listen to it now but I have to restrain myself. They should have released it on a weekend instead.
It’s a good thing there’s livejournal and wordpress At least I allowed myself to post blogs during weekdays. But I can’t read updates on livejournal either because that would be cheating. It’s just like a year ago when my laptop broke down and I didn’t have any computer for 3 months. Those were difficult months. Lool. How superficial of me. But it was really like rehab. And then when I got a new computer I wasn’t very eager to go online for a couple of months. But like an addiction, it came back and here I am again spending too much time in front of the computer. Sigh. So I have to restrain myself. I can do this. Fight-oh!
Oooh gtop is trending on twitter. Yesterday taecweloveyou was also trending in second place. I was surprised but I get what Hottest are doing. Taec made a good decision cancelling his green card and choosing to enlist in the army. People may not understand but that’s a noble thing to do. He would’ve got away with not being obligated to enlist but he cancelled his green card. It’s so patriotic if him. Ok Taecyeon, I’m proud of you. Haters gonna hate but I believe you have pure intentions.
Yes, I keep promising on posting a fanfic but papers that I need to pass keep piling up but I think I passed the last one for this year already. So how about I post chapter one now? Let me just find where I’ve written it. They’re kind of written in random papers. Haha.
I’m watching news right now and this person was imprisoned for 15 years but it turns out he was innocent. That sucks. He just wasted 15 years of his life. This is why some oppressed people choose not to fight for justice. The process is too slow and it takes years to solve a case.
This guy is Lee SeoHyuk and he was in 2ne1′s It Hurts MV. Isn’t he gorgeous? He started out as a YG model and now he’s an upcoming actor I think. Anyway, a few weeks ago I stumbled across this article on Omona about him and his girlfriend who also happens to be an actor. They split up unfortunately. Well that’s what happens when you have a career to build.
Before I forget.
Saengil Chukahamnida Lee JinKi aka Onew!
The choreography of Lucifer actually has a hidden message. See it’s like this. The steps will actually point out how to get to Shinee. Haha. They’re really simple to follow. I’ll show you.
Let Onew show you the way >:)
See that? Then go this way.
Hahaha. Did you get that? Easy peasy huh? Well off you go! ^-^
Wassap?!? Hahaha ^0^ It’s only exactly two weeks left before Christmas. Does it feel like Christmas? I don’t know. As you get older other things come into play. That’s just how it is. When I was kid, I didn’t have priorities. I didn’t have burden myself with things. There was only play. I believed that Santa would come every Christmas eve and bring me my gift. But now there’s no more Santa because I’ve realized that things don’t just appear with just a wish. It’s not as simple as that and it never was. I am older now, an adult actually. Last Wednesday I saw the film The Nativity Story, and you know what? I discovered a lot of things I didn’t know and didn’t care to know before. I didn’t know that Mary and Joseph’s marriage was actually an arranged marriage and that Mary didn’t marry Joseph willingly. It was because of bride price that Mary ended up with Joseph. But then again Mary should consider herself lucky because Joseph for me is the ultimate ideal man. Yes, Joseph, Jesus’ surrogate father. I saw Glee this morning and the episode was about Christmas. There I noticed how much people have forgotten that this event should be more about Christ andnot Santa Claus. It appears that Santa is more of an icon than Jesus is. People have forgotten who they should be honoring for this event. How sad.
Yesterday Dec. 10, we celebrated Meggy’s birthday. Jodi also celebrated hers in the same week hehe. Anyway we ate at McDonald’s and had a little fun with the camera. This is a nice photo, isn’t it? It’s so…natural. Nyahaha ^^. We only have a week left in school before the Christmas break yipeee. Actually we planned a small party and swimming on the 17th so we’re all looking forward to that. We aren’t doing much in classes either. Just reaction papers here and there and a couple of quizzes. Next year is a much busier year I guess. We have prelims when we come back and TBS and then finals. Then in the summer we have to enroll for NSTP2 and go back to the rehab center we went to last time for project implementation. I plan on enrolling for level 2 in Nihongo in the summer as well. I hope I can. If I don’t maybe guitar lessons then? If I knew that MC was also offering music classes then I would’ve also enrolled in that. It was difficult to attend all of my level 1 Nihongo classes because the schedules keep getting in conflict with my other activities. It was actually unwise of me to enroll. I thought there wouldn’t be any conflict but I guess I was wrong. Nonetheless I was able to study Nihongo. It’s been two months since our lessons ended. I actually miss my Nihongo teacher. Maybelle sensei, aitakute! She was really nice and I was amused by how she looked. She was looked very Japanese even though she wasn’t. I’ll try to follow her advice and watch as many anime or live action I can. Actually it really works. That’s why I know more Korean because I watch Korean shows more than Japanese. Well duh, NHK doesn’t offer subtitles so I really don’t have much of a choice anyways. Studies, studies, studies it’s harder to get to the top now. Or even get somewhere close to the top. Papers are lifesavers in college. Now I realize that haha. I want to do better this semester because I have a goal. And I thought it best for me if I focus only on that goal. So now I’m trying not put my energy in things unnecessary. I’m trying eliminate things in my head to make room for the more relevant things. And so to do this, I have decided to avoid the internet world as much as I can. Of course I’ll still bog because I promised I would. And this helps in the elimination process, I think. For this week I’ve avoided being on social media sites, kpop related websites and whatnot. It’s best for me if I can see only what I’m supposed to be focused on. And right now, there’s only one thing I want, will and wish for the most. And I should be set only on that.
I’ve finally decided to get this type of cut first. This is all new to me and I’m just experimenting. i’ve never tried short hair in my existence. So I’ve decided to test it first and if it looks good then i’ll go for something edgier like this.
or this…
I do have a lot of options but it’s probably wise to go for something safe and simple first before i do something drastic. Anyway, I know I won’t stand out as there are lots of girls in MC sporting a boy cut. We probably have the most population when it comes to short brown/blond-ish hair. Lool.
If you’ve seen the YG Family Diary I want that as a planner but I sooo want this one too. The sad thing is I can’t get any of the two, at least in time for 2011. From what I know YG diary is only available online and that sucks. Cuz if it wasn’t then by all means I can probably get myself one. I’m just gonna look for a good planner somewhere and hopefully this move will get me inspired to organize my life once and for all.
So I’ve been meaning to post a fan fiction I’ve written over a year ago. It was my first and it turned out pretty weird. Haha. I guess that’s what happens when you write something without deciding on which direction it should go. It is an odd one and so it is very me. I had fun writing it. But I had the most fun writing my second fic which I don’t have a copy because I gave it away. The story wasn’t for me but for a friend. I had fun writing that one because I played with the characters which is cruel I know.
But before I do that I must get this over with first.
Lee Seunggi’s hilarious fall at the Golden Disc Awards. Oh yeah, the GDA was held this week and I wasn’t able to watch it. I was avoiding the net and when I finally logged on I just read the news and everything was about GDA. Lee Seunggi is such a sweet and decent guy buy that fall was just hilarious. And the chair broke lool. Anyway the rest of the video was boring. Let’s just talk about the performances.
Beast performed Shock and Soom (Breath) and the also won the rookie award for this year. Sure they won and they’ve been getting better and better since they debuted but this performance was a bit lacking. I think it’s the presence. I didn’t feel anything when they were performing. I like to look out for their stages but this one is just flat for me. The background was great with the laser and all. It’s just really them that’s lacking. They should perform with the same energy when they perform Beautiful on stage. it would have been a great opportunity to prove they deserved the award.
This was the best stage of the night for me. Shinee really came back with something powerful this year. I really noticed them this time. I used to know them as the one who sang an OST for Boys Over Flowers. Well this time I know the as Shinee. A complete reversal of positions for Jonghyun and Minho. i was wondering what Jjong was doing just sitting on that chair and then I remembered he has an injury. I guess he hasn’t fully recovered yet since he couldn’t dance. When they came back it was Minho who had an injury. Anyways Jjong’s powerful voice still made me notice him. And at the end it was kinda funny cuz they were obviously enjoying the fog machine. Hahaha.
Also lacking in the presence department, Miss A’s opening was strong and then kinda went downhill a bit. And were was Suzy? Filming maybe? Anyway they should have worked it more. i like the costumes though.
Best ballad group of all. Chukae 2AM for winning! At last they are being recognized. When Can’t Send You Away was released it was their ticket to stardom. From then they totally changed image and became very well-known. Aw Jinwoon’s hair is black again. Every time I see him I feel so happy for him. I saw how he got to where he is now and he almost didn’t make it in the beginning because people overlooked his singing ability just because he couldn’t dance. i love both songs. 2AM have such heavenly voices.
CN Blue! (sings) waetoriya, waetoriya da da di di da da doo ♫ I like this song very much. And the title works too haha. Waetoriya (I’m a Loner). The jazz version is cool. I think that they have exceeded FT Island although I also like FTI. But not as much as CN Blue. And I didn’t know Yonghwa’s voice was that beautiful ^-^ They should do more jazz stuff. It’ll make stand out more and have a distinct sound. ♫Love love love. Everybody clap clap clap ♫
Sorry Sorry was a bit off don’t you think? Well that’s what I think. Maybe because the song arrangement was hard to sing along to. And it really was. I couldn’t understand if it was slow or fast. I would be confused too. The camera shouldn’t have shot from aerial view too. The alignment was a bit off as well. I know I keep pointing the negatives but I’m just not used to watching them like this. Something was really off. They even look a disoriented. Maybe lack of practice? I mean they do have their own variety show to film and they haven’t been on stage for months. Where is the synchronized Suju I know? I didn’t see that in the video that’s all. As for Bonaman, I really like the choreography. That’s all I can say. Haha. The singing was… off too. Or was it the sound quality? Maybe. Siwon has holding his mic a lot maybe there was a problem with it. Anyway, Kyuhyun should keep those sunglasses. I almost didn’t recognize Eunhyuk with his mushroom hair ^0^
One last thing. The camera sucks. The shots were either too far or too near that I couldn’t see everyone who was performing on stage. Eff >.< That’s the problem I always have with these music shows. Capture good angles please!
Sure enough I always save the BEST for last. When I say best I usually mean The Gazette hehe. Weeks ago they came out with a new PV which I was able to watch just today. Shame, I know. Anyway I believe this is a first for them to feature an Asian girl in their PVs. Aside from the two young girls they used before though. The feel is a lot different now. Something about Ruki changed. Maybe because it’s produced by Sony that it seems different. It looks… simpler? I mean the meaning is easier to get. Unlike with the others it takes some time and I have to watch it again and again to understand what the connection with the song is.
Uploader doesn’t allow embedding. SAD >.< Anyway just follow the link to PURE AWESOMENESS andEPICNESS^0^ They are the BEST band in MY world.
The piano opening makes me feel nostalgic. Gazette’s songs always make me feel nostalgic. I feel like I know and understand what they mean with every song they make. Ruki’s voice is just… I want to cry TT TT
Kai’s hair is long again. Sweet. Oh and of course the guitar solo is… there are no words to describe ♥♥♥ I LOVE THIS SONG ALREADY. LOOKS LIKE I’LL BE LISTENING TO THIS FOR THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS.
)
I also hope the same thing that Kai hopes for. That they continue on a band for as long as they could. I hope that they stay as a rock band like what Aoi said an become as influential as X Japan and LUNASEA. From here I will always give them all my support and look forward to watching them perform live someday. Until then I can only watch them from my computer screen but that doesn’t hinder the feelings that they put in every song they ever make.

Cool crib by the way hee hee. Anyway I thought I wouldn’t attend things like these in college anymore but well that’s what went down last Friday 
So sad I can’t listen to it now but I have to restrain myself. They should have released it on a weekend instead.
