Sydney in Love!

Credits go to Janchung @ Youtube

Woohooooooo, it’s out … !!! Out of everything I’ve been looking forward to in the past few weeks, this one tops the list!

…. Which might have something to do with the fact that I’d LOVE to honeymoon in Sydney (or Australia, in general), and that I think that Australia’s actually one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the world. Yeah, so mebbe I’m a bit biased … ?

In any case, I really wanted to see how the main actress and actor would work around the 8-year age gap. Would it be awkward? Well, it’s been done SO many times before, if it were still awkward, I would’ve actually thrown my shoe at my laptop. I mean, srsly. If Koreans haven’t gotten it right by now, it’s high-time they did.

The focal song of the short is really quite lovely, as is Baek Sung Hyun. If anyone figures out who it is, lemme know, because I’m seriously going to youtube that artist like mad. And yes, this movie (as pathetic as what I’m going to say is going to sound) has actually caused me to reinvest hope in unrequited love and all that shit. So yeah, MAYBE I haven’t had my first kiss yet. And yeah, maybe it’s about time I did, since I’m eighteen. But, you know, I figure that if I want my first kiss to be really really special, then I’d better do it with someone really really special. Like Baek Sung Hyun. And as of yet, that particular individual has been eluding me. =.=

In any case, watch this movie! Since it’s only 7 minutes long, you’ve really no excuse to, because if you don’t invest those 7 minutes in this movie, I know you’re going to spend it procrastinating on some other random site (like FML – omg, biggest waste of time ever, but hella funnnyyyyy). ;P

And, just to make this post even MORE random:

SHORRY SHORRY!

Hehehehehe. Sorrryyy, it just HAD to be done.
… It was BEGGING to be done. xP

Looooove. ♥

Thinking, thinking, thinking …

I think this is it, guys. I actually think I’m going to get back into blogging. YES.

Anyway, haven’t completely decided whether I’m gonna stick with wordpress, but I feel like posting here now. I have like, no friends on Livejournal, so it makes it difficult to find the incentive to post, cos no one’ll comment. :’((((( But be forewarned that password-protected posts (a.k.a. posts pertaining to the most private aspects of my personal life) will be found on my livejournal, which is Friends Only. Sorry, babes, but this I gotta do. Don’t want stalkers and pervies hitting up on my non-existent love life and all that.

Okay, so last week was the most stressful week of university YET. No joke. I had three midterms and four freakass assignments due in the span of five days. I was ready to throw myself off a cliff (… or well, a very high building, because there be no cliffs in close proximity to where I am. And if I were to throw myself off a cliff, I’d rather not put too much effort into finding a cliff. xP). And I got my calc midterm mark back this week and IT IS SO BAD. I’ve never in my life gotten such a shitty mark. This was beyond shit, mates. This was of the exploding diarrhea kind. I didn’t fail … but it was pretty damn close. *faints*

Hmm, updates.

Well, let’s see. Friends are good. =) Thank gosh for rez life. If I weren’t living in rez, I don’t think I’d have much of a life because my ridiculous procrastinating has extended to all areas of my life, and I STILL haven’t gotten my driver’s license. University has been awesome in that it’s let me meet awesome people. And I’ll be living with some of these awesome people next year, which makes me SO happy. And which makes me a tad scared, seeing as I won’t be living with my parents anymore. Like, next year, it’s official. I’ll be living on my own. Of course, my parents are helping me to pay for rent and all, but it will all be paid back in due time. I’m thinking of it as me being indebted to my parents and that I’ll pay them back (sans interest) eventually.

… Rez food still sucks.

Just a Lil’ Update

Hey guys.

First off, I’d like to apologize for my utter failure at updating. It’s been extremely hectic, as I’ve just moved out of the family home and into university residence, and even with a meal plan, it’s really hard to keep yourself on track and completely organized.

In any case, I’ll probably start updating regularly one of these days just as a mini-break from all the craziness in my life. Of course, I might be acting a tad optimistic, as I’ve never updated regularly in the past (*giggles*), but … it could happen one of these days. You never know.

Just a shout out to those close cyberfriends of mine – you guys know who you are. I miss you all so much, and one of these days, we’ll have to get our butts onto msn and have a gab sesh. Yes, yes? FOUR/FIVE-WAY CONVOS FTW. <3

I Suck at Cooking? I Suck at Cooking!

Woooohooooooooooo, I’m BACK.

Sorry for the hiatus – I wasn’t expecting the pause in updates at all, but I’ve been super busy as of late and freaking about university, which starts in less than three months. And I’m actually leaving home, which is cause for MORE worry, because no way am I mature enough to live on my own. Plus, I really need to find a job, because I need moolah to support any endeavours I shall chase while away from home (read: FOOD that ain’t a part of my meal plan. I eat a lot, okay?!?!?).

Anywho, on to the important stuff.

So obviously, because karma sucks and I’ve got bad timing, the minute I quit fandom, SM entertainment just HAS to announce a new Suju sub-group (Members are: Shindong, Yesung, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Kangin, and Chicken leader). And obviously, because SM Ent hates me, they’ve given the group the … crappiest (for lack of a more representative word) name ever. I mean, WHO (besides ELF) wants to listen to a group called Suju-H? For crying out loud, the “H” stands for “HAPPY”. HAPPY. HAPPY. WTF, mate.

Honestly, I think SM Ent’s got the time AND resources to come up with a better name, so really, they’ve got no excuse. And if they actually put out a girl-group called “TOUCHS”, I might throw a fit, because … that’s just bad English.

But rejoice, because Suju H’s first single is actually … decent. And it’s cracktastic enough that I might actually look past their name.

Credits go to symbelmyn @ Youtube (Honestly, if you’re looking for high-quality Suju vids, this is the account to subscribe to. Be sure to thank her, because symbelmyn – coolest name ever, btw – puts a heckuva lot of effort into uploading these vids, and seeing as I lack the patience and time to put up with snarky Youtube commenters and admin, I’m ready to send her millions of warm fuzzies. Note: she won’t be able to upload HQ – and by HQ, I mean HQ - vids anymore, but she’s already uploaded 1, 217 videos filled with Suju love and happiness. Which makes you wanna subscribe to her, right? You know you waaaaaaaaaaant tooooooo.)

To watch in HQ, double-click on the video which will lead you to the Youtube page where the video is found. Then, click on “watch in high quality”, which is right under “number of views”, and VOILA! Fantastic quality!

Thoughts under the cut, yo.

Ajoo – the Second Se7en. (Give me a break, love.)

First off, interesting name.

Secondly, I really think his facial structure resembles that of Se7en an incredible amount, although I can’t say the same for his hair. I can’t remember too much about Se7en’s looks and I couldn’t be bothered to look up his image, but I think while the two have the same full lips, Ajoo’s hair is silkier and thinner. Or maybe less styled. Who knows?!

Third, although he’s promoting a “rock”- type song, I (shallowly) can’t get past his more-than-feminine voice. I haven’t heard his speaking voice as of yet, so I won’t jump to any conclusions, but he comes off as a rather feminine male from the music video alone. His supermodel swagger in the mv may attract every single female he comes across on his way to lala land, but imo, he just looks rather full of it. I can’t insult him for that though, since that may be simply how the music video itself was initially structured and planned.

Apparently, he’s been training for 6 years (since the 6th Grade), but isn’t that a little too much to attribute it all to natural talent?! Stephanie, of CSJH the Grace fame, trained for only a year before she debuted, which speaks an enormous amount regarding her singing and dancing talent. And she’s rather an amazing dancer (just youtube her X-Man vids!), having been dancing since her toddler years and having even trained in the States for eleven years. I’m sorry, but if you’ve been training for 6 years and you want to flaunt that little fact in my face, the stakes are that much higher, as I expect nothing less than a spectacular debut.

Kay, I just watched some of his debut performance, and I’m a tad more impressed. However, although I’m keeping in mind that it’s his FIRST live performance, his voice still sounds a little weak. His dance also looks extremely structured and not completely due to natural ability, but I’m not going to fault him for that, because my dancing isn’t exactly amazing either (Actually, it’s more like non-existent.).

All in all, I like his debut performance way better than his music video. Plus, he looks MUCH LESS FEMININE while performing live, which makes me giggle in happiness, because I can only stand femininity up to a certain point or unless you exude an unbelievably attractive masculinity while looking too feminine for your own good (Kamenashi Kazuya-esque in Nobuta wo Produce. THIS IS SHAMELESS PROMOTION, or so to speak, AND I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD WATCH NOBUTA WO PRODUCE RIGHT NOW).

I’m going to have to wait a bit before I decide on whether to support this Ajoo fellow or condemn him to B/C/D- list hell, but really, I’m hoping his follow-up single kills this one. The fact that he’s boasted about his 6-year training irks me to no end, because I’m not seeing a flawless product that should result from 6 YEARS OF TRAINING. I may be too harsh and in no place to criticize, but lack of talent and too much hype gets me each time, and I’m really quite sick of it already.

The image to the right is a picture perfect (no pun intended!) example of a badly-angled pic. I mean, seriously, they’re not leaving much to the imagination, are they?

Course, the poor boy was probably super hot due to forced strenuous activity, but still, how embarrassing (if you think the way I do, which makes me sound like the dirtiest person in the world, which, by the way, I am not). And what a hilarious- looking fan. Reminds me of Dumbo’s trunk. =P  

Evidently, I’m lacking EVERY SINGLE SKILL required to be a homemaker.

And all I can say to that is . . . THANK GOD.

So I tried making ramen today. Didn’t work out too well. Spilled water. Almost burned down the house when I forgot that I was boiling water for the noodles. Definitely tried to open one of the sauce packets, and instead sprayed it all over the side of the stove. Turned on the fan, turned off the fan, forgot how to use the stove, ran around the entire kitchen multiple times while attempting to clean this up and mop that up and turn that off and GAH.

Fail. Definite fail.

I tried baking cookies once. No, not from scratch. It was one of those Pillsbury Dough Boy (killed the spelling, didn’t I?) packages. You know, those cylindrical blocks of cookie dough.

First hurdle: Dividing up the cookie dough into 24 pieces. Gave up at the end, I think, and just made 22.

Second hurdle: MOMMY, WHERE’RE THE COOKIE SHEETS? AND THE BAKING PANS?

Third hurdle: MOMMY, HOW EXACTLY DOES THIS STOVE WORK?! WHERE’S THE FREAKING ON BUTTON?! GAWD, THEY SHOULDN’T MAKE THESE FREAKING MACHINES, IF THE ON BUTTON ISN’T EVEN VISIBLE. FHEFHKSJFHSJD.

Conclusion: “Just go do your homework. I’ll handle the stove&thecookies&thebakingsupplies. No. Don’t even try to help me. GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK. NOW.”

Moral of the story: Just buy some freshly-made cookies from the bakery next time, dammit.  

And don’t even get me started on doing laundry.
