hurricane venus.

BoA is back with her 6th Korean album after five years abroad in Japan and the US.  Yah!  =D
Hurricane Venus.

Hurricane Venus. (title track) - heavy beat.  catchy.  god i love the thick Synthetic quality of the sound.



Dangerous. - same as before, more or less.  solid beat.  catchy.  Like.



한별 (Implode) - my FAVorite ballad on the album!  if not my favorite song on the album overall.  <3.  it's Simple, Organic.  you FEEL this one.  Love Kim Jong Wan (from the band Nell, who is also the composer) at the end of the song.  <3.



i used to be a little iffy about BoA's voice, but I must say, it's growing on me.  (and might I add that her English is so so much better after her US debut?  thank goodness.)

that's it.  i'm a Fan.  =D

YB.

this is when it starts, from THE BEATing of your heart.

Deja Vu - 3OH!3



I'm Not The One - 3OH!3

You're way too young to be broken.  You're way too young to fall apart.  You're way too young to play these games, But you better start, But you better start.  This is when it starts, From THE BEATing of your heart Till the streetlamps talk to you. Jumping off of the edge, Oversleeping your head, Everything's turning dark to you.  I went to pick up the parts, The doctor's hiding the charts, He won't let me see this side of you.  It's on the tip of my tongue, You know you're way too young To have someone lie to you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  You'd better find somebody else and get a hold of yourself.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  You're way too young to be broken.  You're way too young to fall apart.  You're way too young to play these games, But you'd better start, But you'd better start.  It was the second I lit Your first cigarette, I forget who you used to be.  And I bit my lip The second you sipped The poison that was mixed for me.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  You'd better find somebody else and get a hold of yourself.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  Drink the poison lightly, 'Cause there are deeper and darker things than you.  I know 'cause I've been there too.  I know it might seem frightening To have the world fall apart right under your shoes.  Trust me, You'll make it through.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  You'd better find somebody else and get a hold of yourself.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.  I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.

Currently on my playlist. on Repeat. 3OH!3's new album Streets of Gold.  Mm.  I like.

Definitely redeemed themselves from the first impression they made on me.  Let's not go there.  I honestly don't even remember when.  I just remember it was the first time I saw or heard of 3OH!3, it was a live performance, and I hated it.

*****My favorites on this album... (in no special order)

I'M NOT THE ONE.  my FAVorite of them all.  the Beat.  the Lyrics.  love <3 Love it.

DEJA VU.  Ever feel like you're running in Circles?  This is Deja Vu.  Bitch.

BEAUMONT.  The intro track.  A nice heavy sound.  Fairly simple, catchy beat.  get a small Groove and a head bob goin'.  Yea.

I CAN DO ANYTHING.  think, say, and do whatever the fuck you want, cuz I...

WE ARE YOUNG.  ah, youth.

R.I.P.  the grass isn't always as green.

DOUBLE VISION.  Anyone else think the intro kinda sounds like New Day by Will.I.Am?...

STREETS OF GOLD.  You walk on streets of gold, my friend.

LOVE 2012.  Dubstep!?  I believe so.  ...yum.


Well... that's Almost all of them.  Definitely a recommended album.  I do like all of the songs, despite leaving 5 off the list.  My least favorite is HOUSE PARTY.  I don't know about that one... maybe it'll grow on me... maybe Not.

Check it out.  Maybe even buy it...?  now there's an idea.  Lol.... =\

또다시 배운다.

Pushing Me Away - Linkin Park
Road to Revolution Live at Milton Keynes



그 캐릭터가 좋다고 말을했었어요.
너무 마음에 든다고.
그랬어요.
그리고선 그 캐릭터를 화면으로 보시더니,
우리 엄마가 걱정을 하시더라구요.
네가 이캐릭터를 좋아한다는게
너무 이해가 안된다고 말씀을 하셨어요.
참 상처가 많은 사람이었거든요.
그로 인해 참 못된 사람이였구요.
전, 그게 좋았어요.

왜냐고, 엄마가 무르셨어요.
또 이해 못하갰다는 말씀까지.
그 당시 저도 대답을 할수가없었어요.
저도 딱히 무르니까.
그냥 배우가 좋다고, 거짓말은 아니지만,
그냥 그 배우의 팬이라고 넘겼어요.

지금 생각하면
그 캐릭터가 왠지 끌렸어요.
안쓰러운 마음에,
그리고 어떡해 보면, 나를보는것 같은 느낌에.
물론, 그정도는 아니죠.
저, 그런사람 아니예요.
저, 그렇게 힘든 과거 없습니다.
그냥, 그 캐릭터로인해
제 속 깊이, 들키지않갰금 숨겨놨던개
시원히, 아주 후련하게, 표현 되는것 같았습니다.
표현이 서툰 저한탠, 이게 행운이였습니다.

그리고 저, 그사람으로인해, 많은것을 배웠습니다.
그 사람이 커가는것,
그 사람이 하나씩 배워가는것,
그 사람이 마음의 문을
조금씩 여러가는것을 보면서
아주많은것을 배웠습니다.
이미 알고있었을지도 모름니다.
아마 그랬을꺼예요.
단지... 그동안 잊엇었던걸 또다시 배웠을뿐이지.

a small reminder.

Cinderella's Sister OST
신데렐라 언니 OST

It Has To Be You - Yesung
너 아니면 안돼 - 예성

Little things around you that make you think....  Yes, that was what this K-drama was for me.  A small reminder of all the things we have and take for granted...  things we have that so many others don't and wish they did.  Just a small reminder...

I watched this music video before and after watching the drama (it is what made me want to watch the drama in the first place), and I didn't realize until some way through that the music video actually doesn't use any scenes from the drama like they usually do.  Nonetheless, by the end, I saw that the video was just as significant, if not more so.  Serving as an introduction for the characters, the scenes showed their scars, their pasts, their conflicts, and gave the characters even more depth and clarity.  It was, in itself, an extension of the drama.

The drama was very well written, the acting was amazing (especially by Moon Geun Young and Seo Woo), the characters were amazing, and their development and dynamics from beginning to end was just so fun to watch (although somewhat predictable  =\ ).  Upon reflection, it only gets better.  Definitely recommended.

summer break...

SEOUL SONG - SNSD & SUJU

Seoul Song by So Nyeo Shi Dae and Super Junior. It's not exactly about summer, but who cares, it makes me think of summer. Partly because I only ever go to Seoul in the summer. And the song just makes me happy. It makes me want to take a walk in the city with a camera, and just balk in the smog and traffic jams. lol. Not to sound sarcastic, but you know what I mean. *sigh I miss Korea. I'll just have to make do for now, I guess. We have a Main Street... does that count...?

My summer this year...: work (hopefully; application is still pending), dance, sleep, repeat. That's how it's looking right now. Maybe I'll throw a couple of trips in there somewhere. And by couple I mean one. *sigh "couple" sounded so good there, too. But it's too much of a reach, I guess.

Oh yea, I just finished my first year of college. Awesome. So summer is a little different now, in a sense. Now I have to worry about paying for next year. Oh, money. You are a nuisance in so many ways. But we can't help but to love ya. I guess that's why you make life so difficult. Because so many people are so in love with you. On the brighter side, I've met a ton of new people, and made a lot of new friends, and I picked up dancing, which has - I think - changed me for the better. Not to mention it's a fun little way to pass time. And it led to the name of this blog (I like it a lot if that hasn't hit you yet).

But yes, summer.  Hope it doesn't fly by too fast, you know, it's not like anything ever does, just saying...

yb.

태양 - 웨딩드레스
Taeyang - Wedding Dress

Taeyang's Wedding Dress.  It's not exactly a new song, but it's the one song that I have yet to get sick of after listening to it a kajillion times.  Not to mention he's ... so. sexy.  Watch, and confirm that everything I've said is true.
There also seems to be a sort of Taeyang obsession at my school - at least within my group of friends.  (I never knew that Kpop was so popular...)  And, being a fan myself, I've decided to take time out of my scarce homework time to express my love.  Yes, let's all put off our homework and watch that hunk of sexy do his thing.  =D

to have loved and lost...

2PM - Without U

This is Without U by 2PM.  It's one of their newer songs.  I was listening to it earlier today... and it reminded me so much of what one of my good friends went through last year.  Granted, I only heard about what happened from her, but I imagine this is how she must have felt at one point in time, possibly still.  I only regret not having been able to truly understand...

yes.

Ahh... there's no better feeling on a Wednesday afternoon then acing your chemistry exam. YES. It's on and poppin', the parties rockin', the cuties shockin', and there ain't no stoppin'... haha. LMFAO's YES. It's THE feel-good song, and this dance (choreography by Don Mach, 2XS UIUC) is just so fun. =D Enjoy.

YES.

두 눈을 감고, 두 귀를 막고...

아웃사이더 - 외톨이

Outsider - Loner

This blog, which is actually purely for my own entertainment (but if you guys enjoy it too, great), is just a place for me to record my thoughts on anything and everything.  

In this case, it's a song that I absolutely love. I can definitely relate to some days, and it serves as a little reminder that we're never really alone in anything we do. No matter what we experience, you can be guaranteed that there's someone, somewhere in the world, that is going through the same thing.

Not to mention that Outsider is an awesome rapper: really freakin' fast, clear, and good delivery. And the song's got nice symphonic instrumentals. It's not by any means the first time symphony and rap were meshed, but the strings are a nice change of pace from the run-of-the-mill stuff you hear every day, and they suit the song well, too.
