Deer Yoona

Im Yoona

Yesterday, May 30th, was a special day for Sones since it was our beloved IM YOONA‘s birthday! As a treat, we wanted to trend her name on twitter by 12am KST, but Beliebers overpowered us. But because we didn’t give up, we were able to trend IMYOONA and Sones in the morning! *cheers*

Time flies and our beloved second maknae and favorite alligator is now turning 22. Wishing her all the best, may she stay the strongest in SNSD so she could carry the boxes and open pickle jars for her unnies, maintain her alligator laugh so she could stuff all the food she wants in her mouth and be the second shikshin, keep her doe eyes so she could reflect the innocence within her (which is of great help as SNSD’s image and also in the dramas she might star in) and be the most beautiful flounder the world would ever see. LOL. Happy Birthday Yoona!

Choding!

Also, more good news. Today will be the start of Shoujo Jidai’s (SNSD) Japan Tour and by tomorrow, the Japanese Album will be released! And speaking of the Japanese Album, one of the original tracks from the album, Great Escape, has been released yesterday and as expected, awesomeness! It has a nice beat and is  very different from their usual style.

 

Fanwars

I really don’t get fanwars. We all have preferences, and we should respect each other for that. We don’t have to spit on each other. If you hate someone, better keep it to yourself. If you can’t, go tell someone who understands what you feel… not on some innocent fan of that person.

First off, wars between fanclubs — I guess this one’s inevitable. I’m not really a big fan of the saying “Ignorance is bliss”, even though I apply this saying in my life often — well, call me a coward — but I think this is the saying every club should go by. It’s not bad to stand up for your idols, but it’s bad to put down others because you hate them. Again with the Yoona issue. It’s true that its so much different when Yoona is in the Replay MV rather than Victoria, but a fellow sone said, “Did we ever complain when Minho appeared on both korean and japanese MV’s of Gee?”. And s/he’s right, we didn’t. Because we viewed it as SM family love. LOL cheesy. It’s not like Yoona wanted to be on the MV. I’m not saying she doesn’t like it, but what I mean is that she didn’t choose to replace Victoria. She was there because her management told her to. And besides, the possibility of her dating a SHINee member is so small, if that’s what you’re so pissed about, because she has her eyes on Kimura Takuya. Man, that girl carries a photobook of KimuTaku in her bag on a regular day! Y’all should just let this issue go. The MV is released, as if your ranting will change the “noona” in the MV.

The wars between fanclubs I can understand, but wars within the club is… IDE. Its you guys who should be sticking up for each other, not against each other. So what if Taemin fixed his nose? Does that make him less awesome? It only shows how much you look at the appearance rather than what and who he really is.  And besides, do you even have proof? Sure it doesn’t need a professional plastic surgeon to see the differences through pictures but its much better if we have heard a word from them. Or at least seen reports of him having plastic surgery. Who knows, it could’ve been maturity. He is growing like all of us you know. It’s not like he was born with a fixed face that’s never gonna change. With all the fuss you’re making now, I can’t even imagine what happened when Minho had his nose done.

Why can’t we all live in Peace? That’s why vote me as our country’s next President. LOL

 

Get Phunky

Apparently, Phunk Phenomenon got eliminated from ABDC. Well, f*ck this sh*t.

They were almost there! I guess it was just a case of bad luck that they had to go against I.aM.mE. But still, I know I’m not the only one who envisioned Phunk and IME going up against each other in the finals. ICONic Boyz got the talent, but it’s just not enough. It’s like they need to drink more bottles of milk to be parred with Phunk and IME. But props to them though, they surely have improved from their first appearance on the show, but still no wow factor for me.

Next up, Phunk’s final performance. Personally, I think they started off big from their first appearance but then they started to decline. But they still amaze me, though.

Lastly, what you’re about to see is the awesomess called I.aM.mE. Prepare to be brain-banged and drool over their tricks.

Its a waste Phunk got cut off. The bright side to this is we already know who will win this season but it would have been better if they had a worthy competition. Who i’m talking ’bout is up to you. 😀

 

Yoona Nomu Yeppo~

Finally, SHINee‘s MV for the Japanese version of Replay is out! I’d like to ask for pardon to the Shawols out there for spazzing more about Yoona (the supposedly “noona” of the MV) instead of SHINee who actuallysang the song. I just can’t help it. I’m a fan of SHINee but my hormones enable me to only see Yoona.

I don’t think they uploaders allow embedding but I’m posting it here anyways.

SHINee is just awesome. I suddenly missed dancing. 😥 If ever I’d be able to join a Kpop dance contest I’ll surely dance to SHINee. Again Yoona, your stare killed me.

Talking about Yoona, a member of the Oh! so awesome girl group called Girls’ Generation — just released their second teaser for the Japanese Album! I’m excited with this album. I feel that the songs are very promising and definitely better than their korean albums. Checkitout!

Second Teaser for the Japanese Album

Two videos from my two favorite idol groups in one day?! The Lord loves me. Hoping them both group success! Fighting!

Norwegian Wood

If you’ve run out of good movies to watch, take time to see this Japanese movie. Of course, it ain’t Japanese if it doesn’t have a hint of perversion. But in this movie’s case, it’s not just a hint… it’s the movie itself. 😀 No, it’s not porn.

This movie is an adaptation of the hit novel with the same title by Haruki Murakami. After watching this movie, I have this urge of reading the book too. I feel like I’ll understand/ appreciate the story better if I see it in words. The movie was great but it kind of got dull and boring at times especially in the first part. But I have this philosophy that if a movie starts off boring, it’s sure to have a big ending. I guess it applied to this movie.

The movie was set in Japan in the 1960’s. The movie starts off with the main character/ narrator, Toru Watanabe (Kenichi Matsuyama) and his best friend, Kizuki (Kengo Kora), goofing off like normal high school students as Kizuki’s girlfriend and childhood friend, Naoko (Rinko Kikuchi) watches them, enjoying herself. They were shown to have really close ties with each other. The story developed gradually when Kizuki committed suicide at the age of 17, thus living a scar on his friends. Watanabe, wanting to forget that event, decided to live and study in Tokyo to start a new life. There he learned the ways of the city and made a new friend, Nagasawa (Tetsuji Tamayama). Watanabe initially went with the playboy Nagasawa so he could have sex with the girls Nagasawa picks up. Later on, the both of them didn’t really have a close relationship. The movie progressed when Watanabe met Naoko in Tokyo. They started to have feelings for each other but Naoko being emotionally unstable didn’t help in making their relationship work. Naoko then decided to confine herself in a sanitarium in the mountains so she could relieve herself. Because of Watanabe’s strong feelings for her, he would visit her often and they would attempt to make out. But Naoko seemed to have a problem with getting turned on so in the end, they would resort to handjobs and blowjobs to satisfy Watanabe. Meanwhile, in the city, Watanabe also started to have feelings for a different girl, Midori Kobayashi (Kiko Mizuhara). She was rather outgoing compared to Naoko and loved Watanabe deeply despite having a boyfriend. Watanabe is then torn between Naoko, a person whom she really loves but is emotionally unstable (and later on developed Schizophrenia, I think.) and is unable to have intercourse with him and Midori, whom he loves as well but the circumstances doesn’t allow him to. This movie sheds light on various topics we might encounter as we grow. It talks about Sexuality, Death and Relationships — which is probably why it appeals to young audiences.

Props to MatsuKen’s acting. And to Rinko Kikuchi as well. Their roles were well pulled off. The story is awesome enough and putting in great actors makes it even awesome-er. For sure, this heartbreaking movie is guaranteed to touch you. And if you’re lucky enough it might turn you on sometimes. LOL.

 

Too Many In One Day!

Can this week get any better? Too many good news breaking on me!

First we have Kenichi Matsuyama. He’s the guy who played the boyfriend in “1Liter of Tears”(even though I haven’t watched it yet) but he is better known for his superb portrayal of L in the movie adaptation of the hit anime/manga Death Note. It’s been long since I’ve heard of this guy and just recently, I happen to tumble across some screen caps of another hit movie (I think) of his entitled “Norwegian Wood”. I heard it’s an adaptation of a hit novel in Japan, so I decided to watch it — but I’ll talk about the movie next time. As always, I was impressed by Matsu-Ken’s acting and since I haven’t heard much about him (wow. Close?) for some time now, I decided to google him up. That’s when I found out he actually married a month ago on April Fools’ Day. What a joke, right? I guess it’ll be forever embedded on me that he is L, and knowing L getting married is surreal. I guess I have to face the fact that Matsu-Ken is not an anime character. And what’s surprising is that his wife is 9 years older than him. But who cares about the age difference if your wife starred in 2 Hollywood movies namely Last Samurai (with Tom Cruise. IKR.) and Blood: The Last Vampire? That’s right, he married Koyuki Kato. It’s always shocking to hear someone you know (whether you are close or not) getting married after not hearing from them in ages but well, I wish nothing but happiness to the both of them!

Second! Oh. Shit. My dream is slowly coming true. Girls’ Generation will finally have their 2nd Asia Tour! I still don’t know the chances of them coming here in the Philippines but I bet SM has heard our pleas and I’m sure they’ll do something about it. They better.

Third… and probably the best news I’ve heard so far. They’ll finally have a drama adaptation of Ouran High School Host Club! No, it’s not some shitty rumor fans created because the line up has been set and boy, am I satisfied with the cast! Im excited with the Hitachiin twins, the guy that plays Hani and of course Tamaki and Haruhi. I’m not really in to JDramas but this is a must watch!

Just great news everywhere! And BTW, I just saw the BTS for SHINee’s Japanese MV of Replay and I swear, Yoona makes my heart flutter. All the unecessary hate on her should be eliminated. Face it, it’s Victoria no more. I love mommy Vicky and I love Yoona too. Seriously, anti’s should try seeing more of Yoona. She’s not just a pretty face. *points gun*

Hoping for more good news! asjdhaksf

 

Thunder!

I think my fear of thunder came back. WTH.

Two nights ago I was out partying for my friend’s birthday celebration so naturally, I had to stay up ’til dawn. I wasn’t really in the mood for drinking (and the the rhum sucked) so luckily, I didn’t wake up feeling like P Diddy the next morning. We partied hard though. We laughed hard and danced hard and played around you’d think we weren’t 18. LOL. I had so much fun that I didn’t feel tired after that. But I was wrong. After having only 3-4 hours of sleep and sat in front of the computer the whole day, I miraculously slept at 7pm. Im really a “deep sleeper” kind of person. Especially when I’m tired. No matter how much you yell at me, I’m not gonna wake up for you. Heck, I even slept through two earthquakes in my entire life. But then last night was different…

As a kid, I was really afraid of thunder and lightning. I used to hide under the dining table when I hear those rumbling sounds and see flashes of light. There was even a time when I was alone at home during monsoon season that I was so afraid I ran outside and went to my grandfather’s house just so I could be with someone. I was dripping wet and I was knocking on their door. 😀 I think I started to overcome my fear because of a trick my parents taught me and because of an episode of Nickelodeon’s Loopy — the episode where she talked to Mother Nature and had a bowling battle with her just so MN would stop causing the thunderstorm.

Then we go back last night. Since I slept early, by midnight I was already out of my deep sleep mode. In a tropical country like the ours, sleeping is at its best when its raining. But last night was no ordinary rain. It was raining horses and cows cats and dogs. And to top it all off it came with crashing thunder and *insert adjective here* lightning! I woke up at about 12:15 am (I’m precise, ikr.) because I heard a large crashing noise in our neighborhood and saw flashes of light. I’ve never been in a war, but I think I now know what it feels like. I thought I was in Hiroshima/Nagasaki during the bombing in Japan (no joke). I just felt all the sleepiness drift away from me after I hear that loudest-thunder-I-might-have-heard-in-my-life. The Goddess of Fortune might have forsaken me, because I think that the thunderstorm was concentrated in our neighborhood, which explains the feeling of thunder coming above me and white light outside my windows. What’s worse was that the rain abruptly stopped and then when morning came its as if nothing happened! What? Did that storm intend to just scare me and then run off to a different place? *middle finger up*

I will end this post haphazardly. I don’t want to talk about fears RN. But I hope I could do the old trick my parents used to teach me so I wouldn’t be afraid of thunder. Pretend that it’s just God playing bowling in heaven. /STRIKE!

 

The Cruelty of Summer~

Summer is cruel. Besides the heat of the sun burning your skin, Summer only means one thing: BOREDOM. Sure there are lots of  things to do during summer. There are workshops, vacation, time for your hobbies and maybe summer jobs. I am unfortunate enough to miss a very important dance workshop (by Dumbo of Poreotics. FML.) and I wasn’t able to receive a call from the job that I tried to enter. As for the vacation, still pending. I don’t know what bad luck this summer of 2011 has given me but I can conclude that for the 18 years that I have lived, this is the worst summer I ever had. Imagine days of sitting at home, waiting for the sun to set hoping that tomorrow, you’ll have something productive to do. /wrist

And just when I thought everything is at its worst, my sister who’s working in Dubai called my mother asking for financial help, saying there was some sort of trouble with the place she was renting. My mother, being the noble mother that she is, assured my sister that she can get help from our neighbor/ family friend. And just when we thought everything was starting to go on the right track, my mother and our neighbor broke into a fight. Hooray. RN, my mother is in trouble of finding the money for my sister and at the same time, pissed at the sight (or thought) of our neighbor. Her going nuts is driving me nuts as well.

To escape this living hell, literally and figuratively, I try to divert my attention on things pleasing to my senses. I realized I could take this opportunity of having loads of free time in my hands to practice my drawing skills. Blistering barnacles! I can actually draw! LOL. The downside in this story though, is that despite my years of drawing experience and practice, I still suck at drawing human hands. I also felt like I should take fashion designing classes. I  love to draw people but when I start drawing the clothes, the picture just crumbles into nothingness. I guess I need practice harder everyday~

 

Never Unlucky

Today is Friday the 13th. I’m not really a superstitious type of person but I’m not totally against this way of thinking (or living) as well. I guess there’s nothing wrong with believing in such as long as it doesn’t do you or the persons around you harm. It’s safe to say that I am on no one’s side. My zodiac sign is Libra after all. It’s all about the balance. 😀

Today may be Friday the 13th, but it’s a very lucky day for me since it’s Girls’ Generation’s first live performance for Mr. Taxi! *insert spazzing here* Yeah baby~ It was awesome, as usual. I’d like to point out that Sooyoung’s hair is SEX. And God bless my soul — Taeyeon’s bra strap kept falling. If I were you, I’d see the marvel that is called Girls’ Generation right now and spazz my heart out.

I forgot to remind you to prepare loads of tissues in case of severe nosebleeding. But I guess it’s too late for that, huh?

Btw, thank you japanese cameramen. Job well done.

 

DANCE

LOL I think I’m career confused. I love dancing, I want to get better at it but I love architecture as well. I know in a way, I have to give up one of them. I’m more focused on my course right now since it’s more “reachable” at the moment. And I think if I would stop school and say “I want to dance!” to my mother she’d probably kill me. But whoever said about stopping school? I could dance at school activities but that might get me nowhere. I look at all these amazing dancers I see on Youtube and wish I could dance like them. Or maybe end up being a choreographer for SM Entertainment. TROLOLOL! It’s also a dream for me to become an architect someday. It involves art, and has great pay. *bling* I love art. But it’s sad that I only get to involve myself in it every other day. You know, moods. I certainly can’t work on anything if I’m not in the mood. You see, I think that’s what’s wrong with me. I lack “passion”. I love dancing but I’m holding back on pursuing it thinking it might not get me anywhere. I love architecture but I don’t practice getting better at it. Instead, I’m triddling in front of the computer all day. /wrist God has plans. I’ll pray for enlightenment and try to do my best.

Anyway, I’d like to share this amazing persons whom I look up to. I love them to death… and I also hate them for making me feel like an amateur. Because I am. LOL . Presenting Hok, Ariel, Ryanimay, Hirano, Feng, Steve, Victor and Lydia. Le Quest Crew! No D-Trix?

Dang Lydia you are daaaaamn fine. Not only you and Victor can dance but you two can sing as well. And Ryan… teach me your ways, O great one. I look forward to the day I meet you guys and those fellas called Poreotics.
