touching the sky

I'll post the summer pics later today, I'm too lazy to transfer the pics to my computer and then upload it here, lol.

Okay so I don't have a life and I'm still lazy, sue me.

Anywaaaaayyy, it was my father's birthday yesterday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD! <3

Birthdays are bittersweet.

On one side, it's a special day, but on the other side, I'm not there to celebrate it with them.

And yes, my present does count, kay?

Especially if it's my own parents', lol.

Talking about my dad reminds me of how much I used to dislike him. Seriously.

I feel so bad about that now.

It came to the point where I could almost say I hate him.

Of course, I've never told him that, nor I'm planning to because it's not important anymore but it can almost make me hate my self to ever think like that about him.

I was childish and ignorant and immature, yea, but they're not good enough of excuses.

Kay fine, I was 10 years old, is that good enough for an excuse? LOL.

It made me realize, though, that there are always two sides to everything.

I always keep that in mind now : to not judge others so quickly before I know the reasons behind their actions - which don't always justify their actions, really, but at least I get to know the truth before I pass any judgments (which I shouldn't be doing, actually, judging people, but eh ... it's a habit of most people, if not everyone).

Really, I try to not judge people but it's a hard thing to do.

It's an automatic thing, you know XD

Back to my father, right now I can honestly say that he's the best father that I could ever have.

He's probably not the best father in the world but he is for me.

He's probably the only one who can handle a daughter like me ;)

It takes me about 16 years and being thousands of miles apart from him, but as they always say, better late than never at all.

People are amusing.

*need to (and will) make a proper post ASAP*

The jury has made their decision and yes, Yunho will be acting in the drama 'Heading to the Ground'.

NOOOOO!

I was honestly disappointed to hear this. I mean, yes, he can act, but is it good enough to be the main actor? No.

What happens to just sticking to your own thing?

I'm not blaming him for wanting to try a new thing, but is now the right time to do it?

Oh whatever. He's a big boy and I'm not his mom.

Heck, we don't even know each other.

That's probably why he went back to Korea alone, to settle this thing.

they're not forever. People come and go. They are born and they die.

Relationships wilt and eventually die. Even with your own family.

You get hurt by people all the time. Especially by those dearest to you.

I've lost quite a lot of friends and I've gotten hurt so many times.

Sometimes I think, maybe I'm better off alone.

But yet, I know I need others to survive.

Why can't life be simple?

It's finally here! Woot! I really enjoy ~~ogling~~ reading it. There are a lot of LOL -worthy moments for me XD

Anyway, I promise my self to not post their pics in airports anymore. Nor will I look at the pics, unless it's a coincidence cause I can't read titles in Korean or Japanese or Chinese (FAIL!).

I saw the trailer, I liked it, it made me curious of the book so I finally borrowed it.

I have never read the book at all, lol. And it's actually good. Well, it's sort of expected from an award-winning book. I'm curious how the movie's gonna turn out because there's not really much in the book imo, but I'll see later. I'm not gonna start to dissect the book, though :D

What I'm watching right now (I'm not the type of person who finishes a series without watching other series, no, I can't do that. I get bored +.+ So I watch multiple series at the same time) :

+ The Big Bang Theory - A smart and hilarious series. It keeps me laughing throughout each episodes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ;)

+ Nurse Jackie - It's also a good series. I don't know how realistic this is since I'm not a nurse (yet, lol) but I don't really care - I enjoy watching this. I didn't know Edie Falco before this series because I never watched The Sopranos but I just might later.

+ Better Off Ted - I just started watching the Pilot episode today and I like it already. Portia De Rossi is in it. I like her, she seems like a cool person. I've never seen her acting before, though, this is my first time. I still like her, lol.

+ Bleach - I'm re-watching it from the very first episode. I watched it because of my brother before and I skipped a lot of episodes so that's why I'll just re-watch it again. Don't know if I'll be able to finish it this summer.

+ Avatar : The Last Airbender - I guess that's the right title? Cause I vaguely remember that people would call it Ang or something. Huh. Maybe it's just me. I'm not sure if I could finish this one too.

+ Triple - The only Korean drama I'm watching atm. I really like it because it's not over-the-top or over-exaggerated or super intense or tear-jerking. It does have some 'WTH?' moments for me, for example : the length that Hyun Tae goes to to pursue Su In. It's basically almost like stalking. But overall I enjoy watching it (otherwise I'd stopped watching it since the beginning) and I also like the soundtrack.

And if you go to dbsg comm in LJ and read the post about fandom, you'll know what I'm talking about right now. It's like serious shit over there. Like, it intrigues me but at the same time, it's one of those things I'll never understand. It's, like, chillax, you know. I guess I'm just too nonchalant and too laid-back to do something like that. I don't even know them personally, can't I just support them by buying their albums and going to their concerts?

Entertainment business can be so fucked up sometimes. Way too complicated for someone like me, unfortunately.

On my way home from the library. It was raining but you can't really tell from the picture.

I just watched Zoom-In (with DBSK in it, obviously) and oh my god, was I drooling or what?

The food ... oh the food. Bibimbap, kimchi jigae, samgyupsal, is it for real, life? Is it?

*sigh*

Now I want to eat meat so badly :(

Baegubda!

Anyway, I hate it when people start to comparing 2 groups to each other. BB vs. DB, BB vs. DNT, 2PM vs. SHINee, WG vs. SNSD, etc.

I think that it's completely unecessary to do so.

Each group, while may have similarities to other groups, is different. No two groups are the same, no group is perfect.

I don't get the point of comparing two groups.

Okay, so this group sells more albums than the others, this group gets more awards than the others, SO WHAT? I don't get it, please do enlighten me.

I'm not gonna lie, the 'irrational slash fan-girl' part of me is happy when, let's say, my favourite group, DBSK is said to be better than BB or 2PM or SuJu for example.

It's like, 'Take that, BB/2PM/SuJu!'

But of course, it's just sheer bias.

The 'rational' part of me, however, as I stated before, cannot see the point in doing so other than to alleviate or deflate my fangirling passion.

I can throw a lot of arguments, write an essay to explain my view on the matter, but then what? And for what?

I don't know, for me it just doesn't matter what people say about them. If I like them than I like them, I don't need anyone's approval or goddamn statistics to do so.

Or maybe I'm just tired of having the feeling to keep proving that DBSK is better than the other groups because they're not. Yes they're fucking great but as I said, it might be just out of sheer bias. I'm not in any position to judge who is better than who.

All I know that I like one particular group better than the other out of personal preference, that's it.

Oh the things I'll never understand in life.

Stuffs I borrowed from the library today. Mostly are mangas, though :D

A lot of fansites are selling fangoods now, with the SMTown coming up.

-____-;;

My resolve to not spend money on their goods might crumble.

*sigh*

Think about college, think about college, think about college, think about college.

College, college, college, college ...

Yunho : Can you see my armpit's hair? Can you? Can you?

JJ : OMG I don't know him.

Moving on,

Why so cute? :p His niece is effin cute.

I miss my family :(

I accidentally deleted my old blog's template so I lost all of the codes so I had to basically make the blog from scratch again (except for the blogskin, obviously, thanks to www.blogskin.com :p).

*sigh*

Why so careless?

The berries that were mashed by the kids in my church. I was the 'berries-picker' :p

Okay, so it's not exactly a self-taken picture but whatever, lol. I finally watched it and I freaking love it. I actually cried watching it. It's a must-watch!

It came! Erotic from Eroyj.com. The photobook is just beautiful.

We went to this outlet in Lundy's Lane that day and we went, like, ballistic, lol. We don't usually shop that much :D

Cliffton Hill in Niagara.

This was taken on my way home from work last Tuesday. I love sunset.

Okay. I confess. I didn't take any pictures last Monday so I'm using this one. This was my room around winter last year. It's cleaner now, I swear. I'll take a new picture later.

Back home. My 'station', lol.

The beach in the camping site. So pretty.

I know I haven't posted in such a long time but the summer project is still going XD

Our tent during camping! :)

My stuffs for camping tomorrow. I'm going camping for 2 nights and 3 days. Goodbye civilization, welcome nature!

Can you see the Jaesu? lol. I love Jaesu. They're my 2nd favourite couple after Yunjae. Yunjae will always be my OTP, lol.

Actually, I like all the pairings. OT5 is not that bad either ;)

But there's just something about Jaesu, idk. They're like super close but not so much on screen. They're like this mysterious couple, rofl.

Sometimes I feel like Jaesu is so underrated. All the pairings need equal love, people, lol.

*squeal like a mad man*

o_O''

By the way, I want the THSK Shouyuukoto voice strap so bad. But it's like sold out in mu-mo. Restock guys, restock! lol. Now my only hope is Yahoo Auction Jp. Someone sold it for 23500 Yen. WHAT? That's insane. I want it bad but not that bad.

Okay, so first of all, a little bit of warning : I'm not a professional photographer nor I plan to be one so apology in advance if some - if not most - of the pics look very amateur, because I am one.

Today I practically got kicked of my own house so I went to Shoppers near my house and buy these :

+ Quaker Dipps : Granola bars are one of my favourite snacks. Granola bars plus chocolate? Heaven.

+ Nail polishes : I collect nail polishes, lol.

+ Betty and Veronica Double Digest : I like Archie and friends :)

+ Study Guide : I'm planning to take my G-1 this summer so I'll start studying from now on.

First it's Jaesu and now it's 2U?
Whoaaa, they're seriously switching partners.

I feel like it's a soap opera.
Next thing you know, it turns out that they're actually related by blood somehow.
And then JJ turns into an alcoholic and Changmin is actually his brother who had plastic surgery so he's unrecognizable.

And then it turns out again that hey, no, they're not blood-related and JJ is back with Yunho and Junsu is back with Yoochun, but not long before Changmin develops an infatuation over Yunho and he'll try to take Yunho away from Jaejoong.
And of course Jaejoong will try to defend for his man, at the same time trying to battle his drinking problem.

Meanwhile, we find out that Yoochun is actually adopted and he's been faking his identity all along.
He also has to do a TV show where he has to work in close proximity with another guy which makes Junsu jealous which makes him go undercover as a woman in that TV show, causing a lot of commotion but increases the rating.

And then Yunjae and Yoosu will fight over a kid that they want to adopt and Changmin still tries to take Yunho away from Jaejoong.

Oh, not to forget, the evil father and mother who try to kill their sons' lovers because gay is just not socially acceptable.

I watch too much soap operas. Anyway, I'm starting a project called 'Summer Project'. Yaay for originality!

It's like the popular 365 project except that I don't think I can finish a year-long project so I'll just do it all summer long and by summer I mean from today until the last day of summer day which is like September 12th or something. So I'll post the first picture later, after I take one :D

Why am I doing this? Well, first, so that I have something to do this summer and then second, I see this as a way to keep track of my summer this year, although I think it's gonna be pretty boring but we'll see yea? ^^

Being a fangirl is an exhausting life.

Your heart breaks and your mind goes crazy every time you see your 'idol' with another woman, because he's supposed to be gay with the other member, dammit.

And then you have to go to the girl's cyworld/minihompy/personal site/whatever to leave a rude comment (e.g : you beeyotch! stay away from my oppa! he doesn't deserve you! just go and kill yourself! you plastic girl!) to warn her to not get too close with your 'oppa' because again, he's supposed to be gay.

And then there are 'anti-fans' that you have to defend and shield your idols' from.

"No, my oppas are the best! Jjang! Just because his voice cracks doesn't mean he can't sing. He's just too tired. He's too busy. He still looks good, though. Oppa, saranghaeyo! (insert a thousand hearts here)"

Not to mention the goods. Oh the goods and the dvd's and the cd's and the mini albums and the real albums and the fangoods and the clothes and shoes and earrings and necklaces and etc that they wear.

You just have to have them even if you have to starve your self for months. You don't care. It's all to 'support' your oppas.

And then there is still the spazzing that you have to do. The pictures you have to stare for hours, the videos you have to watch again and again because oh my god, they look like a living god on earth and oh-so-adorkable in that video. And then you have to download the videos, get a new hard drive because there's just not enough space to contain all of your 'collections'.

*sigh*

And then after you do all of those things, you remember that you actually have friends and families and a real life to live.

If only being a fangirl is the only way to live.

It's 2.30 in the morning and I have no idea what I'm writing about.

Pandora TV - I'm in a love-hate relationship with it. I love the qualities, it's like HD but it takes so much time to load it. And I'm too lazy to sign up to be a member, lol.

Anyway, I'm waiting for more info on AADBSK3 Korean version. It has to have English subs, it just has to. And it also has to be cheaper than Japanese version. Dude, Japanese like to rip people's money off, lol.

Seriously, I go to Youtube waaaay too much it's unhealthy -____-;;

^ IU. I love this girl! She's so talented. I posted about her in wordpress around last year I guess. She should gets more recognition :)

^ Taemin playing River Flows In You. It's one of my favourite song from Yiruma and while I don't really like Taemin that much, I still like guys (or boys, in this case) who can play piano. I can only play like the first few bars of that song and then it got too hard and I got too lazy, lol. Fail.

OMG, I just knew the meaning of the lyrics. LMAO. "A waste of resources; rejuvenating; still, drink this." WHAT??? And they look so serious too singing it, hahahaha.

Anyway, Tokyo Dome is done! Congratulation, guys! :) It also helps the sales of SBU only for like a day, lol. Still, it's a good thing.

I've been reading such good reviews about the concert. And that's exactly why I like them. They can actually perform and sing live. And not just one or two of them but all of them.

I don't care how good a singer looks or how good he/she sounds on CDs, live performances matter so much more to me. Quoting from my friend, "If they sound good live, it's good enough for me."

... until Tokyo Dome!!!!!!

Man, I'm so excited for them.

This is like a milestone in their career and they totally deserve it - they work super hard after all.

I was watching their old Japanese videos and I just felt really touched and proud of them :)

They've definitely come a long way since then.

Their Japanese are so much better and so are their appearances :p (Jaejoong's hair in Hug Intl. was a huugee turn-off for me); they also look more at ease right now.

I think all of them are gonna cry tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, lol.

Anyway, good luck boys! (or should I say men?) Ganbarimasu~!

I just saw this :

And after I watched that, I watched the Junsu and Ri In's version and I have to say that I like Junsu&Ri In's better. I mean Davichi ladies are both amazing singer and so is Jin Ho (although his expression always distracts me) but there's just something about Ri In's voice (psshh, I'll choose her over Tae Yeon any day ;) ). And don't even get me started on Junsu's. His. Voice. Is. Amazing. Period.

Here's Ri In and Junsu's version :

It's one of the better live versions that I can find. She can sing but she sounded pretty shaky every time she sang live. She's improved, though. Where is she, by the way? I've never heard anything from her anymore.

And this is Jinho and Davichi's latest performance of Timeless :

This is the performance that made me fall in love with 'Love in the Ice'. I was watching it for like the hundredth time so might as well post it here. I thought it was good the first time I heard it but nothing special. But when I saw that, I was just blown away. I love it when they sing live and nail it because they're perfectly capable of doing that.

I love Junsu's voice in this song. He's an amazing singer. Jaejoong's voice is more versatile but imho, Junsu has stronger voice. If he were to go solo, I'm sure he would make it but being the 'fangirl' I am, I prefer DBSK with 5 people :) But hey, he can make a solo album, just like Tae Yang.

I'm still waiting for them to come up with better songs, though. I feel bad when people don't take them seriously based on their songs because they're capable of so much more than that.

Seriously, I love these guys, can't you tell? ;)
