I’VE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. BOOYAH. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
And on a side note, I read the best quote of my life earlier today.
“No rule, of course, against younger boyfriends, but still. Fourteen?
An hour later, when I heard the TV go off downstairs and heard Mom climb the stairs and walk to her room, I was still sitting in the chair and staring at the bed.
Fourteen?”
As spoken by the eighteen-year-old protagonist of the novel “Just Like That” by Marsha Qualey and totally mirroring my thoughts regarding SHINee (roflmao). Fantastic read … if you’re into teen reads.
… And yes, I do happen to have a very sad life.
P.S. Will reply to comments eventually! Prom Friday! Tres excited. :):) I’ll post prom pics up, but it WILL be a protected post because I’m VERY paronoid about Internet stalkers. Sorry to all my silent readers, but you’ll have to write some long extended comment explaining WHO you are, WHY you like/read my blog and WHY I should let you view peektures of me.
Seriously, this song is so bloody addictive. It’s been on repeat in my head since … last Thursday, regardless of the fact that the guys singing this song are in their mid to late thirties and regardless of the fact that the individual who appears to be the head honcho of the group is Mark Wahlberg’s brother. Yes, Mark Wahlberg’sbrother.
And oh yes, this group was extremely popular in the 80s/90s, with this song marking their comeback.
… I’m attracted to bloody thirty-year-olds. *headdesk*
By the way, if you’re in LOVE with Korean fashion (which I unduly am), do visit this site. The photographs are fantastic, the fashion is happening and the commentary is chock-full of interesting facts and observations. I actually spend eons on this site, because I love it so much and because the pictures are so … nice. *drools* ♥
Watch the video here! Credits go to miiloverx2, who, if I’m not mistaken, is a SHINee-shipper? If so, <3 to you.
Anywho, this is a live performance of “Replay (You’re so Pretty, Noona)” on Sukira, and as per usual, it was flawless.
Points to note:
They’re wearing the same shirts, but in different colours. HOW CUTE IS THAT. It’s cute enough to make me go pedo all over again. *sigh*
Jonghyun looks like a midget beside Minho. And HELLO MINHO, you MUST be over 180 cm right?
Immediately upon hearing the opening strains of their feature song, each boy begins to bob his head, which gives you a line of bobbing heads. Surprisingly, Taemin moves the least while singing … until we reach his solo dance perf, that is. But seriously, he’s about as loose as a … tree.
Jonghyun has a really soothing voice. Really soothing. And it’s perfect for ad-libbing.
I still love Onew’s voice the most, because it’s tres deep and attractive and absolutely lovely.
Key moves like a girl. XDDDDDD Really, he’s got to be the most feminine in the group. However, seeing as he’s in the same company as Heechul, he has nothing to worry about, because Heechul won’t ever let anyone become prettier than him. You don’t quite understand narcissism until you … examine both Heechul and Jaejoong. ♥
I LOVE Key’s voice at 1:26. Really, it’s rare when you find a rapper who sings as well as he raps, and well, Key seems to do well in both areas. *seething with jealousy*
At 1:36, Jonghyun does a funky little movement with his feet, where he turns both feet inwards. Warning: It’s laughter-inducing. I sat there laughing for at least five minutes, because it was so … dorky. Btw, I ♥ dorks, so please boys, bring on the dorkage.
At 2:06, it’s just Taemin and Minho singing, and you can actually hear both voices REALLY CLEARLY! I’m in awe, because up until today, I hadn’t yet figured out what Minho’s voice sounded like. But, omg, it’s really REALLY deep (he’s a bass?) and goes really nicely with Taemin’s supah high voice. (The boy CLEARLY hasn’t gone through puberty yet. *pats him on the head*).
At 2:59 and from 3:06 to 3:11, you get the clearest shots of Taemin’s beautiful smile. I barely resisted the urge to reach into the screen and pat him on the head when he smiled, because he looked so cute and like … such a minor (which he is, of course). XDDDD
At 3:36, Taemin starts dancing in his confined bubble of space, and rofl, both Jonghyun and Onew have to avoid his feet, which stray dangerously near to Jonghyun’s.
Ahhhh, these boys are too cute. Too bad three of them are SO YOUNG. XDDDD I’m so bitter.
Note: To watch them perform Rokkugo, which is a cracktastic song, click here. Rofl, someone goes soprano during the song, and it’s complete with voice exaggerations and facial distortions. Ahhh, it’s just too good. ♥
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!
Credit: Mickytoho @ Youtube (I LOVE this girl; she uploads so much great and fun-to-watch DBSK-related goodies with an emphasis (of course!) on Micky. Plus, she translates and subs too, which deserves an ILUSMPLZMARRYME plea! XDD Do drop by and subscribe to her/drop her a line of thanks!)
ROFLMAO. Nuff said.
Anyhow, I sense a new dance wave coming over Korea, as I imagine Casseiopeans make up more than half the population of Korea and as a result, will gleefully dance like so everywhere, because they want to be just like their oppas. *heaves a massive sigh*
Although I love my Dong Bang boys, this dance is so =.=”””” and headbanging-inducing. And do the boys not look like the biggest dorks while moving from side to side? Yes, yes they do. But I love me some dorks, so BRING ON THE DORKY MOVES, I say.
Anyhow, I’ve read somewhere that this is a dance routine found solely during the group’s dance rehearsals/practices, which fills me with great joy, because just look at the head-swinging and the butt-waving and their legs moving from side to side and Jae failing in the back (he’s not obviously failing or anything to that extent, but he always seems … a little slower than the rest). ILUSM JAEJOONG.
If you can’t watch the video, I’ll try to recap, but do keep in mind that I’m COMPLETELY fail at dancing and that I can’t describe to save my life.
Anyhow, the vid starts off with the boys talking, and at 00:45, Changmin slowly and reluctantly gets up to demonstrate a certain ingenious dance move (invented by the one and only Monkey boy Micky Yoochun) the Dong Bang boys have been practicing during their rehearsals. And so, at 00:49, the MADNESS BEGINS!
To imitate, begin by standing up straight with your legs together and your arms spread out and parallel to the ground. Then, when the music begins, leave one leg vertical (say, your left) and kick the other leg (your right) out to the right (so that it’s diagonal). Immediately after, bring your right leg back so that it’s vertical, and kick your left leg out to the left. Meanwhile, swing your head from side to side, so that you’re always facing the same direction as the leg being kicked out to the side. To perfect this move, ensure your arms are always spread out to your sides and left parallel to the ground, and ensure that you’re knees are bent, so as to allow for maximum butt-twisting.
You got that?
Excellent. You’re now ready to dance the night away, record yourselves and upload your vids onto Youtube and other video-hosting sites so as to contribute to the new dance movement that this is bound to start up.
Hello wonderful PV featuring Miura Haruma! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
Actually, I had no clue you existed, until someone kindly linked us to it at the Miura Haruma Soompi thread (found here). I have yet to comment on this thread, because I’m a wuss when it comes to talking on forums. However, once I get started, I never stop, so … maybe it’s a good thing?
But I digress.
Anyway, the PV’s pretty cliched. It’s basically about a very talented kid (Springhorse XDDD) who busks to make money AND to get his music out there, and manages to catch the attention of a very pretty girl who (I imagine) falls in love with him before she falls in with his music. Unfortunately, I have the WORST memory in the world, and I’m too lazy to watch the PV all over again, but I’ll try to recap what I can remember.
Anyhow, as previously mentioned, Miura Haruma plays a young busker, and his first (or so) audience consists of a girl his age (Erm, I’m wondering where all the other girls are. How could you walk by that face and NOT stop? Japanese girls must have great control. XD) who is clearly infatuated with him and quite possibly, his music. Seeing as it’s really cold out, his hands are slowly FREEZING as he courageously plays his guitar in the cold, so, in order to actually talk to him, she brings him a hot drink.
Obviously, they fall in love and so, the majority of the rest of the PV consists of them doing couply things, until he goes off to chase his dream of getting a record deal. However, before he leaves, he records a special recording for his wonderful girlfriend who bravely holds in her tears until the train is well out of the station.
And so, the PV ends with her sobbing her eyes out at the train station, and he on the train, completely dry-eyed. Well, actually, I think there might have been a tear in his eye at the end of the PV, but my eyes are TERRIBLE, and I’m not exactly the most observant person, so … you’ll have to watch it yourself to get the full deal. XD
The video’s found under the cut, mates! Much love!
I’ve decided that I really need a break from fandom.
A long break.
A while back, I wrote of my fears of being too deep into fandom. No joke, fandom literally sucks you in, and once you’re in, you’re probably never getting back out. And I’ve reached the point where I’m no longer rational enough to consider myself a fan.
It SUCKS to cross the line from being a fan to being a fanatic. Honestly, you’re constantly feeling disgusted with yourself, and it’s a completely gross feeling.
I never actually thought that I’d reach the point where rumours would actually affect me. I should’ve known that it’d happen eventually, because when I’m into something, I’m really into it, and I put my entire heart, mind, body and soul into it.
It’s unfortunate, but I’m planning to just swing with it. I’ll focus on preparing myself for uni in the fall and focus on getting a job. And hopefully, I’ll be back before long! *fingers crossed*
And don’t worry, I probably won’t completely disappear from fandom. You’ll get random comments from me from time to time. And maybe the 50 odd posts or so in the next few months.
Anyhow, thanks for reading! Your funny search terms and whatnot have definitely brought me great pleasure - *Bear hugs the person who tried to look for “yamapi teeth”*
P.S. PASee and CANDee, you’ll still get massively long emails from me, of course, because I’ll FINALLY HAVE TIME TO WRITE THEM and because ILUSM. *rejoices*
<333333333333333333
*GASP* How could I forget?!??! Before I disappear, I present you with the following gifs/pics under the cut and taken from here.
Either he’s ridiculously good at projecting, or our washroom has very thin walls.
He’s also singing in chinese. Actually, I’m not sure if it’s EVEN chinese.
And I think he’s trying to imitate the old chinese singers he’s always fanboy-ed over. You know, the ones who sing with the excessive vibrations in their voices (similar to Korean “trot”), which are actually quite soothing once you get past their voices.
… Oh good, he’s stopped. XD
… Hot damn, he’s started up again. Actually, now he sounds like he’s gargling mouthwash.

U-Know Yunho and Kim Hee Chul mistaken as couple
DBSK leader U-Know Yunho revealed recently that he broke up with his girlfriend because of Kim Hee Chul from Super Junior.
In a recent episode of SBS “Star Show” program, U-Know revealed that he had a girlfriend during his trainee days. But he proceeded by saying, “But because of Hee Chul hyung, we had a misunderstanding and eventually parted.”
“There was once when my girlfriend spotted me and Kim Hee Chul at a coffee joint and thought that I was cheating on her. Things just got from bad to worse and we eventually broke up.”
Yunho explained further, “Hee Chul hyung had long hair at that time and when I am always with him, he would always wear a pink jacket. I tried to explain many times that it was Hee Chul hyung, but she didn’t believe me and we parted.”
ROFLMAO. HOW GREAT IS THIS.
As usual, this cracked-up catlover never fails to make me laugh.
And what’s even funnier is that this situation is SO PLAUSIBLE. XDDDDD
… I must do a pimp post on Heechul one day. Except, just one pimp post most definitely won’t be enough. This boy requires CONSTANT PIMPAGE.
HELLO BOYS. Why are you so young? And why do I feel so pedo when I look at you? And why is you first song called "Noona, You're So Pretty"? AND HOMG, THE HEECHUL-LOOKALIKE'S ONLY FOURTEEN. *headdesk* ♥
