How do you thank someone who's taken you from crayons to perfumes?
Our one and only FAVOURITE MAKNAE! <3
Well, not exactly since I'm the older one but there's just never an adequate way to describe how much my sister means to me.
It's the second year that I'm not home to celebrate your birthday with you but you must agree, it's like we never parted! I just read my post precisely a year ago and realized it had a sad tone since it's the first time we're apart but now, we're back stronger than ever!
Here's to MY FAVOURITE SISTER - the most supportive and encouraging person I know, forgiving and loving even in the most challenging of times.
Whether it's just starting or coming to an end, here's a song for you to groove to!
ENJOY!
ORIGINAL VERSION:
Wanna sing along?
Ahh yes
Well looky here looky here
Ah what do we have?
Another pretty thang ready for me to grab
But little does she know
That I'm a wolf in sheeps clothing
'Cause at the end of the night
It is her I'll be holding
I love you so
That's what you'll say
You'll tell me
Baby baby please don't go away
But when I play, I never stay
To every girl that I meet here this is what I say:
Run run run away, run away baby
Before I put my spell on you
You better get get get away get away darling
'Cause everything you heard is true
Your poor little heart will end up alone
'Cause lord knows I'm a rolling stone
So you better run run run away run away baby
Well let me think let me think
Ah what should I do?
So many eager young bunny's
That I'd like to pursue
Now even now they eating out the palm of my hand
There's only one carrot and they all gotta share it
I love you so
That's what you'll say
You'll tell me
Baby baby please don't go away
But when I play, I never stay
To every girl that I meet here this is what I say:
Run run run away, run away baby
Before I put my spell on you
You better get get get away get away darling
'Cause everything you heard is true
Your poor little heart will end up alone
'Cause lord knows I'm a rolling stone
So you better run run run away run away baby
See I ain't try to hurt you baby
No no, no I just wanna work you baby
Yup yup
See I ain't try to hurt you baby
No no, no I just wanna work you baby
If you scared you better run (You better run)
You better run (You better run)
You better run (You better run)
You better you better you better
Run run run away, run away baby
Before I put my spell on you
You better get get get away get away darling
'Cause everything you heard is true
Your poor little heart will end up alone
'Cause lord knows I'm a rolling stone
So you better run run run away run away baby!
Who ever knew that 2AM's maknae Jin Woon was such a rocker? ahaha. His solo made me see him in a different light though. He does suit being a band. I mean, look at how comfortable he looks.
You know how I've been saying that guys usually have a harder time coping with heart break? Well, this is yet another song that proves my point. Korean lyricists, I tell you. They sure have a knack at tugging at your heartstrings. With lyrics describing;
"You spit out words that cannot be taken back."
"With a small voice, you take all our memories and rip them apart."
"You spit me back out like white cigarette smoke as if I'm nothing."
"Just like a sand castle crumbling with the waves."
"Just like our memories were never there, you ended it like that."
After the craze that is 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun' (TMTETS), we of course found another drama that would fill the emptiness that comes after the end of a drama.
With this, I present to you - ROOFTOP PRINCE! If you think it's just to fill in the period drama, think again! It starts in the Joseon era but our Prince (JYJ's Micky Yoochun) is quickly transported to present day Seoul. Trust me when I say it's a completely different theme from TMTETS! The storyline is refreshing as it has never beeen used before and can progress in any direction. This gives the drama the potential to develop both for the characters and storyline! Every episode is guaranteed to make you laugh HYSTERICALLY! (Probably except for episode 1 but that's where you marvel in the beauty of their Joseon costume and being introduced to the characters)
Lee Min Ho (remember him as the young Prince Yang Myung?), Jung Suk Won and Choi Woo Shik complete our F4 boys in addition to Yoochun. The lead actress is played by Han Ji Min and she has impressed so far with her versatility and commitment through her acting. Also in this drama are Jung Yoo Mi and Lee Tae Sung.
Here's a summary of the drama from our trusty source, Wikipedia! ;) While in the middle of solving the mysterious death of the woman he loved, a prince from the Joseon era (Yoochun) unknowingly travels to present day Seoul with a special team he put together consisting of Song Man Bo (Lee Min Ho), Woo Yong Sool ( Jung Suk Won) and Do Chi San ( Choi Woo Shik). To his surprise, he comes across a woman who looks exactly like his crown princess. However, it's not only the princess who has a modern day doppelganger, but everyone including the prince himself! Although with difficulty, the men, with the help of Park Ha (Han Ji Min) - who has traveled back to Seoul in search of her biological father - try to fit into modern times while trying to reconnect with the past.
Still not convinced? Here are the subbed trailers to get you hooked! ;)
Caitlynn and Marko with a Sonya Tayeh jazz piece about a controlling man and his girlfriend, set to "Heavy in Your Arms" by Florence + the Machine. It was a strong and aggressive performance, and Caitlynn's best by a mile! She has finally proven that she deserves to be in the competition. And Marko was fabulous as usual.
I have a feeling that either Marko or Melanie might win it for this season. I mean, I don't know. The Top 4 are already the best of the best so whoever who bags the title is worthy of it :)
Here's a lyrical hip-hop performance performed by Marko & Melanie and
IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD!
It's crazy good! Watch their story unfold about the transition of friends to lovers. <3
As one of Korea's top entertainment companies, YG Entertainment has produced notable figures in the industries such as BIG BANG, 2NE1, SE7EN, GUMMY, PSY, TABLO to name a few. Lucky for us, all the mentioned artists were there for this rare occasion!
Also present to represent part of the YG Family is Sean from the group Jinusean that was highly popular back in the day.
Catch their hidden funny stories as well as struggles in their honest talk on STRONG HEART. Get to know them better as you've never seen before! You'd also be surprised as they debunk the top 3 myths about YGE!!!
This special is also the last episode with Lee Seung Gi as the MC. It's been almost a 3 year journey for him and he's done a fantastic job. What better way to celebrate the great journey he's traveled than to have the top names in music to heighten the atmosphere?
We've waited a LONGGGGGGG TIME to get a glimpse into the YG FAMILY BUILDING and finally, we actually get a tour with the BIG BANG members themselves!
Everything that we've heard about the building was spot on as the facilities that YG provides his artists with creates a conducive environment for amazing music to be made.
WOW, FANTASTIC BABY!
Sorry, just had to do that.
Anywayyyyyyy, it's evident that Papa YG cherishes his artists very much as practically EVERY floor of the building has posters/figures of them. Not to mention how futuristic the whole building looks, starting from the L.E.D. screens playing music videos of YG artists next to the elevator. There's a super comfortable-looking cafeteria, a pool table in the relaxation area, a gym to workout (and we get to see Hwangssabu too!), LARGE dance studios and the infamous recording studio that we've seen during 2NE1/BIGBANGTV :)
I know there's A LOT of controversies surrounding rookie group, BLOCK B, but I'm not here to talk about their attitude or personalities. I just like the song. So, a post solely for the song!
