I freak out when someone near me spits, coughs or sneezes publicly.
I mean, I know we all cough and sneeze but shouldn't you at least use a tissue?!

I can't help but imagine all the disease vectors launched into the air when someone around me sneezes. And no, it's not funny.You can get infected too.
WHAT'S UP, BLACKJACKS? :D I know you've been waiting for this! Episode 3 featuring Park Bom has been released! We get to see Bom challenging the bungee jump....and failing. She said she has tried bungee jumping in Austria before when she visited her sister but I guess what she said is right, the older you get, the more cowardly you become. ahahaha. Besides that, we also get a glimpse of Big Bang and 2ne1 heading to Singapore for the Korean Music Wave Concert. They got a chance to ride in a private flight and it looks super comfortable. We'll get to see more of their preparations for the concert in Episode 4! :)
WHAT'S UP?!
2NE1 has been busy topping the charts with their tracks 'Lonely' and 'I Am The Best' but it doesn't just stop there! The girls have returned yet again with their newest single, 'Ugly'. The lyrics expresses vulnerability and a lot of suppressed emotions which is kinda sad, really. Their fashion is WHACK, as usual. Very much punk style this time around. Cool nevertheless. I'm not too sure if I'm CRAZYYY over this song like how I was with 'Lonely' and 'I Am The Best' since the lyrics are A LITTLE depressing and the tune's okay at first listen. But after a few more times listening to this track, just like other 2NE1 songs, it gets better and better. For now, I'll just appreciate the art of their music and be a supportive Blackjack :)
What do you think?
I wanna be pretty, I WANNA BE PRETTTYYY! lol. Psycho. Don't mind me.
LYRICS:
[CL] I’m trying to smile brightly but
I don’t like it
I’m not pretty, I’m not beautiful
Oh oh oh oh x 2
[BOM] I’m trying to sing but
No one is listening
I’m not pretty, I’m not beautiful
Oh oh oh oh x 2
[DARA] Why am I this ugly
What must I do for me to be able to smile brightly like you?
[MINJI] I’m getting angry again, why can’t I ever be perfect
I simply put the blame on my ugly appearance in this broken mirror
[BOM] Don’t look at me, I hate this feeling right now
I want to hide away somewhere, I want to escape
This world is full of lies
[CL] I think I’m ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be pretty
Don’t lie to my face tellin’ me I’m pretty
I think I’m ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be pretty
Don’t lie to my face cuz I know I’m ugly
[MINJI] Don’t tell me that you can understand me so easily
My ugly and crooked heart may even come to resent you
[BOM] Don’t force me to talk, I’m not right for you
The cold thorns inside that patronizing gaze suffocate me
[MINJI] Don’t come closer, I don’t even want your concern
I want to leave away to somewhere, I want to shout out
This world is full of lies
[CL] I think I’m ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be pretty
Don’t lie to my face tellin’ me I’m pretty
I think I’m ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be pretty
Don’t lie to my face cuz I know I’m ugly
[DARA] All alone
I’m all alone x 2
There is no such thing as warmth
There is no one by my side
All alone
I’m all alone x 2
I’m always alone
There’s no such thing as warmth
Next to my side, there’s not even anyone to embrace me
[CL] I think I’m ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be prety
Don’t lie to my face tellin’ me I’m pretty
I think I’m ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be pretty
Don’t lie to my face cuz I know I’m ugly
RED RED RED!
Afterschool has made a comeback with two subunit groups, Afterschool Red and Afterschool Blue. So AS Red is supposed to go for the 'sexier look' while AS Blue sticks to the 'cutesy concept'. As you can tell, I'm more biased towards AS Red since my favourite members, Gahee, Nana and Jungah are in this group :) After a few listens to this song, it automatically gets stuck in your head and since the music video just came out, I've been raping the replay button. ahahaha. Okay, that's just a figure of speech. But yeah, the girls look GREAT in the music video! Chic fashion with super sexy bodies to boot, what else is there to ask for? And honestly, I should take makeup lessons from Nana. Her eyes look gorgeous, don't you think? ;)
YELLOW! :D
So, I've decided to share with you guys all the songs that's been on repeat in my playlist for the past few days. It's fun to share different types of music with everyone! Music ISuniversal and I always live by the rule, 'no music, no life'. Therefore, I shall create a new label called 'Now Playing' for this blog. You know how on twitter we always go, #nowplaying followed by the song name. So, this label would serve the exact same purpose :)
I hope you enjoy this one! If you're an avid fan of Running Man just like me, you would have already seen the episode with I.U. and Bongsun as guests where the Running Man members had to complete a series of tasks before they get to the stadium. One of the tasks involved drinking coffee and it was particularly hilarious when Gary was forced to gulp down cans and cans of coffee. Well, that's because Sparta Kook won't drink no coffee! ahahah. So, the background music that was played in that moment and caught my attention was 10cm's Americano :) They're a Korean Indie Band and honestly, they're so talented! If you've never listened to Indie music before (just like me), you'd be surprised by how easy listening the songs are.
Give them a listen! :D
P.S.: If you don't know what Running Man is about, well, you missin' out, mannnnn! Hehehe. Just kidding! But seriously.
WOOOO! ^_________^ Episode 1 & 2 of 2NE1 TV Season 3 has been released! On Episode 1, we get to see how the cameras were installed and the reaction of the girls towards the invasion of their privacy.kekeke. Not only that, we also witness their preparations for their comeback stage of 'I Am The Best'. Annnddd, have a tour around their rooms! Dara definitely has a princess room while Minzy has a more comfortable, Gundam-filled room. CL and Park Bom has YET to reveal their rooms! I guess we'll just have to wait till they're ready :)
Check out the videos below! :D
On the second episode (DARA TV), we get to see 'Miss Ssancoustic' practicing hard to master the 'F chord' on her acoustic guitar. It shows off Dara's determined side and I hope we get to see her progress throughout season 3. It would be great to hear her play 'Lonely' or 'I Don't Care'.
YELLOWWWWWW, GUYSSSS! :D
Do you remember watching this? ahaha. It's actually quite an old clip that I stumbled upon just recently. IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTEEEE! Dara has many fanboys and I swear, Park Taehwan is one of the cutest ones! He's so bold and honest about his feelings for Dara, you just can't help but smile when you listen to the things he say about her. And he has such a great personality, I think he might've gained a new fan! :D
Check out the video below! :)
And here's the clip of Park Taehwan winning a men's 400m freestyle event.
YELLOW! :D
I know every Blackjack has been eagerly waiting for 2NE1 TV to return with Season 3 and I'm proud to announce that it's finally here! We get to see behind the scene clips and how the girls carry out their daily schedules. It sure is refreshing and entertaining to watch the progression of their music career as well as budding friendship!
So the wait is over! 2NE1 JUST released the music video to their newest single, 'Hate You' and it's fully animated. It's kinda cute, really. Although I don't really get the story line of them chasing this dude(?) which is the bad guy. Then they progress to a fight scene where 2ne1 members lose pretty badly at first with Bom even losing her shotgun. Very LOL worthy. ahahah. Anyway, CL manages to shoot the dude and then it suddenly turns into this hulk looking monster? AHAHHAAHAH. They manage to kill it in the end though. If you don't know what the crap I'm talking about, just know that the evil monster dies in the end. There's our happy ending!
Okay, I'll just cut to the chase. Watch the music video yourself and be your own judge. After hearing the full song, I'm still notTOO EXCITED over it YET. Maybe it'll take some time to love this single? I don't know. But anyway, it's not like you gotta love EVERYTHING, right? What do you think?
YELLOW! :D (I'm sure those of you who frequents this blog often enough would know that that's my form of greeting)
Anyway, moving on to happier news! 2NE1 has released their first teaser for their new single, 'Hate You'. I'm not too sure what to comment about it yet since the snippet is wayyyy too short (can you sense my 2ne1 deprivation?). So I guess I'll have to wait until the 2nd teaser that will be released on the 28th of July to decide :)
I love the last line from the teaser though, "I'm fine living without you". WORD!
HEY GUYS! :D How has your week been? Was it something like, "Its been a really, really messed up week. Seven days of torture, seven days of bitter?" (that's part of the lyrics, btw) AHAHAHA. So, like I've said before, Youtube has amazingly talented people who never fails to amaze me and the best part about the video is that they're enjoying themselves. That's what really matters, right? :) This song is currently stuck in my head and I knew I just had to share it with you all. So, anyway, this cover was done by Tyler Ward, Alex G and Eppic. They did such a great job!
HOLLA, GUYS! :D
Yes, I know my updates are WAYYYYY overdue but I haven't really been in the 'Blogging Mood' the past few days. For the past many days actually. ahahah. So, in order to cheer you up, I've found this old video of Big Bang's visit to the theme park. They wore masks to conceal their identity but it definitely can't hide craziness! They looked like hyper little kids running around the place in utter happiness.
Ello! :D As you guys can see, the lack of updates indicate that I'm back to my lifeless schedules. The second semester of college just started last Monday and I'm already begging for a breather! I regret not touching my books during my holidays, as it was proven highly NECESSARY. Our lecturers assumed that the knowledge gained in the first semester was locked in our brains but boyyy were they wrong! I guess I just have to work twice as hard this semester in order to score my A's (don't we always say that?). And the other frustrating thing is that I stay a minimum of 8 hours in college from Monday to Thursday! It makes me feel like I'm back in school :( So that kinda sucks.
But anyway, to release some of my stress (and most probably yours), let's watch Ryan Higa's video, the 'Teehee Band'. It's definitely gonna make you go TEEHEE after the video! :D
YES, YOU'VE READ RIGHT!
The second Hennessy Artistry for Year 2011 has arrived! And I don't know if it's just a coincidence but it always seem to happen when I want a night to let loose and chill. Taking place in Mist Club,Bangsar on the 9th of July this time around, I'm sure it's going to be bigger and better than the last.
Performers Beautiful Beat Girls, Trimix and Reshmonu will be attending as well.
If you're not excited about that, think about the free flow of their four signature Hennessy V.S.O.P long drinks which would definitely tickle your taste buds. (Don't forget to appoint a designated driver for the night!)
Still not convinced? Its famed interactive platform, the Hennessy Mixing Zone will also mark its return and will feature four fun, engaging and experiential zones:
Hennessy Mixing Bar – a bar where fans will be taught how to mix any of the four signature Hennessy V.S.O.P long drinks (Hennessy Citrus, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger, and Hennessy Apple)
Hennessy Music Mix Synth — where revellers will be given the chance to create their own tunes by selectively choosing to place 15 circular cubes on a react table (each cube represents a different music element, i.e: guitar, drums, etc) to allow them to experience the true meaning of “The Global Art of Mixing” through the blending of their very own tunes.
Hennessy iMix Challenge – an area where party-goers can try their hands at Hennessy’s newly developed iPad game which requires guests to slice up ingredients which are found in Hennessy V.S.O.P’s signature long drinks. The top 5 high scores screened on an LCD leaderboard will each take home a bottle of limited edition Hennessy V.S.O.P Helios.
Hennessy Interactive Photowall – a green screen photography area where revellers can enhance their photos digitally by choosing and inserting different visual backgrounds and shout out phrases.
You can also always check out my experience from the past Hennessy Artistry HERE
Since PJ is currently homesick and going through a rough time, I'd like to dedicate this post to her. I hope she'll find strength in these words and be able to carry on. You know I'm always here for you :) Fighting! <3
Thought this song might help :)
Seconds, hours, so many days You know what you want but how long can you wait? Every moment lasts forever When you feel you've lost your way And what if my chances were already gone? Started believing that I could be wrong But you gave me one good reason To fight and never walk away
So here I am still holding on!
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you and your dreams
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can There are no boundaries! There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries! There are no boundaries!
And you know how quotes always inspire us in times like this. So, here's a few for you :D
'When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.'
-Franklin D. Roosevelt-
'Don't give up. There are too many nay-sayers out there who will try to discourage you. Don't listen to them. The only one who can make you give up is yourself.'
-Sidney Sheldon-
'Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpected effort that might have saved the world.
-Jane Adams-
I was supposed to post about Boohwal & Immortal Song II but since you're more important, this post shall go up first! :) 사랑해! <3
With someone's voice. Love is never how it seems, eh? ahaahah. I just discovered someone really talented on Youtube and I felt that it would be such a waste if I didn't share this with you guys :)
The only thing that I know is that his name is Kevin Oh and I'm soooooo in love with his voice right now. When I first saw his video through a friend, I totally didn't expect to be mesmerized to this degree. But you know what they say, life is unpredictable. So here I am, wanting to convince you that I think Kevin's a real jewel.
Are all Youtubers this talented? I mean, JRA, AJ Rafael, AHMIR, David Choi, Kina Grannis, Clara C and the list goes on and on and on were discovered from youtube. This just goes to show that the world is indeed filled with many talented people. We just gotta know where to look :p
I wonder how Kevin feels though, having so many worshipers and marriage proposals, he must be flattered? It's funny, isn't it? How someone can be living at the other end of the world and yet still make me admire him so. I've read a lot of comments about how he should be signed with a label and produce his own album and blablbalbalba, but there's a part of me that's thankful his videos aren't going viral on youtube. Not that I think he's not talented enough to be signed, I just feel that sometimes being famous would make you lose yourself. And I'd hate it if he was forced to sing songs that he doesn't like. Okay okay, and maybe cause when he's not TOO FAMOUS, he feels almost reachable to me. At least, he's just a normal guy. You know?
Anyway, enough with the babbling. Here's the MAIN REASON why this post was created; his voice will win you over. Honestly. If it doesn't, go see a doctor! Listen to them with your headphones :)
This was the first video I watched. It made me WANT to dream a little dream of him. Ahahah! What a voice, right?
This song really tugged at my heartstrings because I have seen the rain come down on a sunny day. And sometimes when that happens, you just gotta embrace it and then move on with life.
If I'm not mistaken, 'Dirty Psalm' was one of his own creations and I thought it was just gonna be of him playing his guitar. Even with that, I was already mesmerized. But when he started to sing, with his soulful voice and those sincere eyes, I was really amazed. In my opinion, he should definitely complete the song :)
And last but not least, 'My Favorite Things' from the The Sound of Music. I love this song! And gummy bears! ahahah. It's just awesome how he's capable of making me love this song more than I already did.
Hope you enjoyed it!
If there's ever an opportunity, I'm sure it would be great to hear him sing live! :D
