HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY MMMKAY?

2009-06-07T18:44:00.000-07:00

So long story short... (i'll post the long story once i gain the stamina to do so)

Thursday: Lost my work badge. Have to apply for a new one on Tuesday.

Friday: I turned 20. I get gift cards from Best Buy for my soon to be iPod Touch.

In the evening My Mac-Dreamy (macbook laptop) dies on me.

Saturday: Spend the entire day at the Apple Store ordering a new hard-drive and casing. And at Best Buy getting external hard drives, laptop-bottom coolers, flash drives, etc, with gift cards that should've been for my iPod Touch.

Sunday: Miss a chance to perform an annual show with my choir in order to be in the library from open 'till close re-doing research for an essay i lost when my laptop died...

Right now i'm procrastinating on the said essay.. way too much on my mind.

i work hard for the money

2009-05-28T17:45:00.000-07:00

these are the little things that make a boring day at the office
10x more interesting and memorable...
.
.
.

breakfast buffets during early morning meetings
the iron chef in me decided to combine everything
and make a yogurt parfait.

popular culture readings during lunch time
with a white mocha americano misto
(i can't thank you enough britt for introducing
me to epic!life in a cup)
& a complimentary tall drink coupon!

paper!spock boldly going where no paper!spock
has gone before.

of Root Beer Float Cramps and Never Ending Staircases...

2009-05-28T16:59:00.000-07:00

WARNING. MAJOR PICSPAM!!!
starting now
.
.
.

What a great way to make a rainy day 10x better.
Of course improving a rainy day combined with a midterms starts off with dinner @ Mr. Greenjeans.

Check out the scenery and the greens!

And for dinner we have chicken tenders with buffalo chips.... nom nom nom!

&the highlight of the evening,
DESSERT!

Root Beer Float

but wait... WTF JUST HAPPENED?
Apparently the minute i dug my spoon into the float, some absurd chemical reaction
took place which cause both mine and britt's floats to become
pseudo-volcanic eruptions of foam
Interesting.

Wednesdays = Free AGO Days
Here are some highlights of the visit!
.
.
.

epic tepee

much like Harry Potter
one can never be too trusting towards staircases for
these are the stairs that never end, they just go on and on my friend
me and britt started running up not knowing how it was
and we just kept on running
forever just because...

melodramatic hallway

how has loss affected your life?
The paper reads
"i lost my house keys, so i turned around and found a new house.
now, sometimes i wonder about the dog i left inside,
and if he's learned to feed himself yet."

and of course every good day has to come to an end.
&since it's my life, the endings are usually similar
to shakesperean tragedy.

In this case, the death of my beloved flats.
They have served me well these last 5 years
.
.
.

eww for blisters.

yarff yarff yarfff

2009-05-28T16:48:00.000-07:00

i'm caffeine induced... completely exhausted... bored out of my mind... and blogcrastinating.
The interesting posts shall be up shortly. Complete with pictures!!!

Revamping the background music

2009-05-25T20:45:00.000-07:00

What do you think of the new layout???

Very helvetica + black + red, just the way i like it!!!

It's suppose to match this...

A self-promoting tote bag with my blog link.
Yup, talk about advertising *thumbs up*

Today was a great "midterm in the morning, a bit of studying for another midterm, chillaxing in downtown with friends under the blistering sun" day. Thankfully I didn't burn so much. Sadly my tongue did because I decided to go with 10 chillies for my lunch/dinner. (why? i have no idea why...)

Still having trouble deciding what to do for my twentieth :( and I only have a week left now to make up my mind.

What does one do when they've reached 2 decades of life?

War of Asian Music vs. English Music pt.4

2009-05-23T08:15:00.000-07:00

just dicovered this one recently. Oh shinee...

Corbin Bleu vs. SHINee

Corbin Bleu - Deal With It

SHINee - Juliette

Yay! korean pop and shakespearean references!! but corbin bleu does get some points for having melissa reyes in his video.

War of Asian Music vs. English Music pt.3

2009-05-23T08:06:00.000-07:00

These two aren't exactly straight similar like the past two comparisons, but if you've heard both songs, you probably found yourself wondering if you were listening to one or the other.

Ne-Yo vs. Super Junior

NeYo - Closer

Super Junior - Why I Like You

War of Asian Music vs. English Music pt.2

2009-05-23T08:01:00.000-07:00

Martin Hedegaards vs. SHINee

Martin Hedegaards - Show The World

SHINee - Love Like Oxygen

i actually find SHINee's lyrics make more sense... LOL
yet again, deep sensual lyrics ftw!

The War of Asian Music vs. English Music

2009-05-23T07:44:00.000-07:00

this is what companies purchasing sound tracks does to your iPod... it confuses you.
but it's still damn interesting to listen to both songs.
here are a couple of examples pertaining to this situation

Sarah Connor vs. Dong Bang Shin Ki

Sarah Connor - Under My Skin

Dong Bang Shin Ki - Mirotic

so which one do you prefer?
me, i'm a sucker for half-naked asian boys.... oh well
plus the lyrics kill me. always one for the artistry and the aesthetics.
(realize that there is no plagiarism among the differing artists, or else you'd hear it on the news. Realize they aren't affiliated with small, unknown, self-produced labels. Music companies purchase tracks and add lyrics to it. so no one is at fault. except maybe us for being drawn in to their commercialism, but hey that's life!)

I was born in the city, I'll be mourned by the city...

2009-05-12T18:35:00.000-07:00

I really do love downtown,

especially the business core.

Stoic glass figures rising to the heavens,

overlooking the ant-like colonies of business men

from beneath....

Sometimes though,

I feel so insignificant in a sea of suits,

surrounded by never-ending

glass walls.

Once you are a part of it, is there a way out?

Hopefully I can be able to post about a never-ending horizon. I'm craving palm trees, water, and sunrises... uber badly :(

This blog is inspiring me to drop out of school >____<. I love all the letterpress work and it's really making me want to jump straight into the industry and world of lovely paper types, pantone inks, etc instead of going through with the 2 years I have left.
But sadly, I will go through the 2 years... Wait for me!!

Public Washrooms

2009-04-11T01:29:00.001-07:00

Right now, as I'm trying to sleep in the living room couch...
which isn't really working, I decided to bring up the topic of public washrooms.
Hate them or Refuse to use them, you need them, admit it, especially during crucial times!

But like the scene with Norah in Nick&Norah's Infinite Playlist, a public washroom stall can offer very interesting reads.

Exhibit 1. The picture above.

Apparently the stall i chose in Union Station's women's washroom was the entrance to downtown Toronto's Chamber of Secrets!

Haven't blogged in a while....

2009-04-10T15:34:00.000-07:00

Guess what? Once exams are done... it's straight on boring mk life blogging here on out.
PROMISE!

i'll start with some pre-entries to the straight on blogging since my camera is loaded to it's memory's limit and i have tons of 'blog-like' pictures of random things.

[BLOG] T Shirt Business?

2008-06-13T23:43:00.000-07:00

Perhaps not a business, but it's definitely an idea for now.
I'm sure someone has thought of this before but I am currently on the works of designing SNSD -like inspired jumpers.
Except with a more general twist to it.
Here's an example :) [click for a larger image]

So this idea stemmed to life after i wanted to unite DBSK, SUJU, and SNSD in midst of all the fanatic wars going on in the world right now. Another way to make myself outcasted, while looking hot >:D

TOHOSHINKI - Love In The Ice [Translation]
Those freezing hands aren't your fault
They carry scars from long before
Afraid to love someone,
You turn your back on the other side of the words...

Like ice, the embraced heart slowly starts to thaw

For anyone to be loved by someone,
Makes life in this world shine
If it was me, I’d make your heart warm once more
With eternal tenderness

Even if fate’s games hurt the heart...
On the other side of the tears,
A single ray of light will swoop down into the darkness
We know that this is so

As strong as the suffering, we can feel people’s warmth

Everyone is searching for a place
That can take away the sorrow and loneliness
So… for you, that place is here
Don’t be afraid, don’t hesitate anymore, because I’ll protect you

To the point of being painful (my heart)
This love is beautiful (don’t be afraid)
Even if just momentarily (let you know my love)
This time is beautiful (you know… let you know my love)

For anyone to be loved by someone,
Makes life in this world shine
If it was me, I’d make your heart warm once more
With eternal tenderness

[KPOP] Hug International Lyrics

2008-06-02T11:28:00.000-07:00

for personal reasons :)

Lyrics

Hero) Once I say I love you I think you
would be gone, oh baby~
cuz we are too young to love so I can say
little long~ hold you in my arms

Micky) but I will be waiting for you
to say you want me to be with you
I'll live in your love and
your dream forever and ever

Hero) whenever you look in my eyes
there are so many smiles and tears
I was born to love feel so deep inside.
if you need me I'll be your man
(I'll be your man)

Xiah) whenever you look in my eyes,
I do want to show you my love
I make up my mind make your dreams come true. nobody can stop me to say I love you.

Max) How can I ask who you're still looking for
I'm the one since love seems to make me blind
I try to find All day long
but I cannot hold

U-Know) we talk on the phone every night
and so came closer day by day
I touch you and kiss you and hold you
to feel but in dream

Micky) whenever you look in my eyes

Xiah) there are so many smiles and tears

Micky) I was born to love feel so deep inside

Xiah) If you need me I'll be your man
(I'll be your man)

Max) whenever you look in my eyes
I do want to show you my love

All) I make up my mind make your
dreams come true

Max) nobody can stop me to say

Xiah) I love you~

All) in my arms, in my soul
I want to hold you baby

you don't know how much I love you
do you baby

Hero) Like a sun rising up,
I can't stop loving you.
can't hold back anymore~

Max) whenever you look in my eyes
there are so many smiles and tears

Xiah) I was born to love feel so deep inside
If you need me,
I'll be your man (I'll be your man)

Hero) whenever you look in my eyes (in my eyes)
I do want to show you my love

All) I make up my mind make your dreams come true

Hero) nobody can stop me to say, I love you.

2008-06-01T18:10:00.000-07:00

SUPER JUNIOR - H MINI ALBUM SET TO RELEASE ON JUNE 5th, 2008

(YES XD MY 19th BIRTHDAY!)

Mini-Album Tracklist:
“가자(GO!GO!)” Written by Yoon Myungsun
“꿀단지(SUNNY)” Written by KENZIE
“둘이(YOU&I)” Written by Lee Heesung/Sungjin/Ahn Eunjin/Kwon Hyuksung
“요리왕(COOKING?COOKING!)” Written by ROZ

MORE ON SUPER JUNIOR - H
Super Junior-H's music style involves the common style of contemporary dance music and bubblegum pop, mainly targeting the music industry with their fun and entertaining style. Super Junior-H's debut single, "Cooking? Cooking!" is a dance track with refreshing rhythm and quirky lyrics. Their goal is to give fans feelings of bliss and happiness with their music.

By 2008, most of the Super Junior members have already been part of in at least one subgroup, except for Kibum who has been occupied with his acting schedules. Super Junior-H consists of every previous member of Super Junior-T, with Yesung being the replacement of Heechul. Super Junior-H made an unofficial debut performance on May 3, 2008 at the Power Concert although they did not formally introduced themselves as the subgroup at the time.

On May 30, 2008, SM Entertainment released the official announcement of the subgroup through Newsen. The subgroup's first mini album with the title track, "Cooking? Cooking!" is slated for a tentative release date of June 5, 2008.
Source: Wikipedia

So their debut performance is said to be @ the Dream Concert!!! (I'm guessing the poster lied in saying that all of suju was to be attending/performing?) And that the focus of this sub-group is to penetrate the Japanese fanbase.
Oh gosh, so Suju-H will be a bubblegum J-pop group?
I was hoping more of the Trot variety! WELL as long as they have Eunhyuk <3

[KPOP] ANOTHER SUPER SUB GROUP ???

2008-05-30T21:13:00.000-07:00

Super Junior's new subgroup revealed, "Super Junior - Happy"

13-member boy band Super Junior produces another subgroup, "Super Junior - Happy".

Super Junior - Happy is the fourth Super Junior subgroup after Super Junior-K.R.Y, Super Junior-T, and Super Junior-M, formed by SM Entertainment. The six members include Leeteuk, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk.

On the 30th, SM announced that, like the name of the group, they will be peforming quick and refreshing songs, giving the fans a feeling of bliss and happiness.

Super Junior - Happy's first mini album will be available in early June.
The title track is a dance song entitled "요리왕(COOKING? COOKING!)" (Translation: Cook King(COOKING? COOKING!) ).

The song is a story about a youth stumbling upon interesting things as he thinks about cooking for his girlfriend.

[KPOP] Nice and New "SHINEE" Group from SM Entertainment!

2008-05-21T22:36:00.000-07:00

I present to you SHINEE!
The MV for their debut single "Replay" was just released today. You can watch it below!

ONew | Joonghyun | Taemin | Minho | Key
I guess SM has to come out with a new group pertaining to a younger generation of rabid fangirls. So take one good look at all of the members, would you say they are ages 14-19? Probably not, but they are. (and i feel highly wrong for fancying the second youngest member, but you can't blame me, i'm a sucker for the rappers)
Onto member Profiles!!!

From the looks of it, SHINEE may also be intended as a marketing ploy for the Chinese audience (and maybe English) later on in the future considering most members can speak both languages. Either way, I like their sound and they're so enjoyable to look at! ^__________^
Now I have to learn to associate their names to their faces.

[BLOG] Korean Name Generator

2008-05-21T00:06:00.001-07:00

this is due to the fact that i thought too hard and long about what my korean name would be.
so i found this generator http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/10981/

and after trying a variety of names, only to learn that you must enter LAST NAME FIRST, then FIRST NAME... my korean name is.....

Lee Min-Ri

i must admit... it actually suits me pretty well ^_____^
it was funny though, i think through one of my many name combinations, I ended up with the result Lee, Sung-Min and Kim, Tae-Yeon hahaha! The best though was Park, Jae-min (talk about dbsk mixup)

My entire family has been teasing me about this certain 'David Archuleta' person mentioning "Oi, your boyfriend is singing" although I never take part with their american idolling...
but after watching a video clip of this certain boy...
FINE I will admit, he is certainly my type, in fact he exemplifies my type.
I just hope he's not gay (the stage actions worry me), 'cause my Gaydar tends to turn off around guys like these.

Still Doll MV

We start off with Kanon singing from inside a creepy window right out of Sweeney Todd.

Then we get a cameo appearance from the prey-mantis in Christina Aguilera's video "Stronger".

And of course, Ms. Wakeshima's weapon of choice.

Ms. Wakeshima in action!

Ms. Wakeshima out of action, looking pretty.

The video is complete with an old creeper!

Equipped with a peeping tom whole... O______o

Poor Kanon... she only wants the dress.

Mmm yeah... portrait of old creeper during his younger years perhaps?

!!! I want that cute top-hat/crown accessory.

Ms. Kanon Wakeshima looking as kawaii as ever throughout the weird and creepy video.

Lyrics
Hi Miss Alice
Anata garasu no
me de donna yume wo
mirareru no?
mirareru no?

Mada atashi
Kokoro ga sakete nagareteru
Tsukurotta sukima ni sasaru
Kioku-Tachi

Hi Miss Alice
Anata ga jitsu no
kuchi de dare ni ai wa
nageteru no?
nageteru no?

Mou atashi
kotoba o tsumaku
shita no netsu
same kitte meteru o utamo
Utae nai

Still you do not answer.

English Translation:
Hi Miss Alice
With your glass eyes
What kind of dream
Can you see?
Are you fascinated with?

Stilll
My heart tears
And drifts
Stuck in the patched crevices
Are memories

Hi Miss Alice
With that fruitful lips
To whom does love
Is cast away?
Is lamented?

Already
I spin my words
Feverish tongue
Has turned cold
The song to love
Can't be sung either

Still you do not answer.

[BLOG] OPERATION: Clean Up Room

2008-05-14T17:45:00.000-07:00

PROGRESS REPORT #1
So this summer I promised myself that I would clean my room. Believe me, it's actually a pretty bad case. Here are a few reasons why I've finally decided on accomplishing such a task...

I haven't slept on my own bed for almost a year
I'm missing a couple of my favourite pieces of clothing
I think there are hobbits living under my bed
I haven't seen the surface of my bed for almost a year
I'm pretty sure I still have some unopened presents from my Debut. (18th birthday)
I'm painting my room
I have money for an Ikea shopping spree
I think there are hobbits living under my bed

Thus bringing me to CUR Progress Report #1.
I've managed to clean my bookshelf, the unused floor, ~~and sort of~~ the closet. Here are some images so far!
Expect more of these in the future.
Hopefully by the end of this, I will have red walls, halogen lighting, paper lamps, all my photography works up for display, and finally MY BED once again!

The Room...

[KPOP] Super Junior on Oprah!?!

2008-05-14T13:23:00.000-07:00

..fine not really. Charice Pempengco was featured on the 05/12/08 episode of Oprah, where the show was broadcasting "Most Talented Kids". I missed the actual episode since I was living like a hermit in my room ~~that has yet to be fully cleaned~~, but I did manage to catch a glimpse of her appearance through this YouTube clip which can be found below.
While watching it I completely pitched a spaz! I'm really proud of this little Filipina girl making the motherland proud for sure, but Oprah Winfrey video people using clips from SBS STARKING? NO WAI. RLY?
And guess who I saw? SUPER JUNIOR haha. I really have no life...
