Happy Birthday Haetnim~!

So, before the day ends I'd like to officially blog about our Amazing Yeoja's birthday!!

Yes!!

It is Ha Ji Won's birthday today!

She's celebrating it in Japan with a fanmeet. >how envy I am?< you have no idea!

I wish she could promote EK here in the Philippines, but yeah, GMA is not that rich to bring such a big star from Korea! pft!

Anyhow..June 28th, 2014.

I am a satisfied fan today and I will always remember it. She selected Hyun Bin as his most ideal man through Ideal Man Worldcup. Yes, Koreans have this game wherein one person is compared to one person and you select who you like better until narrowing down to your ideal man. Before,l she chose him as her guy-best-friend! and now she said she likes manly guys and she selected Hyun Bin because he is very manly. LOL.

I wish they could just date already.. okay fine, not date but can they get married already? Like for real!

Am I blogging about her fanmeet? NO. But her birthday okay! LOL

Ha Ji Won unnie! I am your big fan from the Philippines! I wish I could meet you atleast before you get married. I wish I could shake your hand and get a selca (selfie) together! That would be a dream come true like I am reaching a star in my hands. Wait what? Why am I wishing for myself when it is not my birthday? LOL.

Kidding aside, I know Ha Ji Won has inspired thousands of people already and hopefully millions more. She's one of the celebrities I have seen with a sincere heart. Although she'd brag and boast sometimes, but she is actually makes it funny, I think it's not bragging or boasting but more like being naive. She is 36 years old okay, but she looks more like 26! She's 36 already but she acts like a kid behind camera. She giggles a lot, she likes laughing, she likes carefree atmosphere, she loves her fans very much that she created an Instagram account! She lives like a youth on her teens, she is very corny, she doesn't know how to cook, she's single. Okay now, that was very random I know.

I am not sure if guys are blind or they are just really intimidated by you. I would like you to date already unnie! Like after over 10years you should date again and experience being loved by an amazing namja. no pun intended LOL.

But more than anything else I wish you happiness in your heart and mind. The same happiness that you give to your fans when you are around. That is why I wish That Man can make you happy also..lololol. I wish you could also rest well while doing what you love best. Thank you for inspiring us and being there to give us an innocent and wholesome joy! LOL

I don't know until when I will be crushing on you.. but I love you uri Jeon Hae Rim~!!!

Ha Ji Won - Now In This Place

I am really overwhelmed hearing Ha Ji Won's single right now - Now In This Place.

She actually dedicated the song to those who supported Empress Ki, it was a surprise for the fans since we have not heard Ha Ji Won singing for the longest time. It was 11 years they say and I wasn't a fan then obviously. She sang Oppa before and Home Run as an OST. It is amazing that now she is releasing a single that I am a fan already. 

Here is the english translation:

That flickering shadow, is that you?

Is it too late?

That low voice, I hope it's you breathing

I hope once more

I miss you so much that I look for you

But you stay in my dreams for a bit and go away

I love you

Please, if only I can put your image inside my heart

Your eyes are as cold as the starlight

Now I am finally hurting

The beckoning gesture, is that you?

I put my hopes up high

The voice that looks for me, I hope it's you breathing

I pray

I miss you so much that I look for you

But you stay in my dreams for a bit and go away

I love you

Please, if only I can put your image inside my heart

Your eyes are as cold as the starlight

Now I am finally hurting

If you come into my thorn pierced heart

If we go back to that place once again

I will hold you in my embrace even if it hurts

I will confess with my last sincere heart

I love you

Please, if only I can put your image inside my heart

I won't regret if we go back

I love you, I love you

Now in this place

This place where your love lingers

It was released on the 13th and I am so amazed that it is charting well. Hmm.. I don't want to say this but compared to Park Shin Hye's My Dear that was released days before HJW's it actually debuted at #59 and not moving on Mnet alone and considering she's more popular than HJW since it's PSH's generation now. (She even defeated HJW on Most Popular in Baeksang this year)

yes I am bragging, im sorry for the comparison but I love them both nonetheless. :)#peace

I am just a proud fan of HJW. This new single is really awesome. It pierced in my heart and playing on my mind all day long! Not that I am LSS-ing since I cannot sing Korean, but really playing well.

Unfortunately I cannot append a media on my blog to save some space and I don't wanna have a copyright issue. LOL. I hope you get a chance to hear the song, it's really nice and would just naturally grow in you. No bias really. 

Mr. Mr. SNSD Preview

Okay so Feb. 24th, SNSD released their album digitally (Worldwide) with the carrier single Mr. Mr. and then Feb. 26th 2ne1 released their album Crush with the carrier single Come Back Home. I have been watching these two albums on charts and I must say without any bias that 2ne1 is still slaying the chart after 24hours release while SNSD can barely manage to do it for 24hours. Why?

I honestly don't know. 

LOL.

To be honest and without any bias I really like Mr. Mr. album than Crush - this is a mini album by the way. It composed of 6 songs 1 ballad and the rest are like electro-pop, dance songs mostly.

Why do I like it than Crush?

1.) Mr. Mr. is something new for SNSD. When you hear it the first time you'd never even think that SNSD sang this. It doesn't have a hook lyrics unlike "Gee gee gee gee baby" or "Sowoneul Maraebwa" except maybe for the "Mister..mister" lyrics everything is really different from their previous release. And I like it.

2.) The vocals are awesome. Let's be real, Taeyeon, Jessica, Tiffany and Seohyun are really powerful on this song. They have different tone of voice but they match well on this song perfectly. Taeyeon being the lead singer is very impressive although I really have to watch the live performance (which is still gonna be a week from now - March 6th) and see if they would nail the vocals like in the album.

3.) It's classy. I have mentioned this on Instagram and I must say it's not a cheap kind of song like the previous release. Yes, it's not Gee that took the mass appeal. It wasn't Genie that made all the boys salivating but seriously, Mr. Mr. is a very classy album. 

4.) I have seen SNSD from how they started and I must say this is growth. And I know this is what they want. And that is what I want as a listener too - Maturity. The song is not like I Got A Boy and is better than IGAB. You can feel that they're no longer the girls who sang cutesy steps in Gee and Kissing you.

5.) I like that aside from growth I undestand that what SNSD wants is to try something that people do not expect them to be. When the Mr. Mr. teasers were released people were like "oh, another sexy concept" because that is the trend now. But apparently they didn't go to that route and I guess SNSD will never go to that route. SNSD is aiming to lead. They're the number 1 girl group whether you like it or not. They will try something new and keep on trying something new so that audience would know that KPOP is not JUST about cutesy, sexy, rapping and all.  Even if it's a success or not as long as they would try something new you would know that SNSD have tried that already. They aren't scared. And I bet if this album will not be a success then KPOP will be the same as what it is now. They keep on following the same concepts. Which is more disappointing.

My favorites so far on Mr. Mr. album are:

1.) Goodbye - geez, their vocals is soo good! i could listen to it all day long. the depth of their voices is awesome and my Hyo yeon finally got decent lines on this song. 

2.) BackHug - I love the serenity of the song, and the title itself is really sweet "you cover my heart". I think this would be my long time favorite on the list I have for SNSD's ballads

3.) Mr. Mr of course given that again it's something new and vocals are amazing!

4.) Wait a Minute (OMG) this is really chic classy song. love the chorus, it's playing in my head like Mr. Mr. Although my favorite is Goodbye but this song is really catchy.

I hope people would grow up and also give chance to something that they are not familiar of. And if you do not like the song then please don't hate on the people singing it or the management company. It really doesn't make sense :) 

Lee Seunggi and YoonA

My first blog for this year..for some reason I feel double excited seems like everything so far is great. Apparently, it is not about me but my biases LOL.

Today, January 1st, 2014. Dispatch has reported that Im YoonA of Girls Generation and Lee Seunggi are dating - for four months! I-WAS-SO-SHOCKED-LIKE-YEAH!!!!!

Source 1
Source 2

Why am I happy?

1st. They are in a relationship! Two of the biggest and influential stars in Korean Pop/Drama are dating!! OMG!!! And they have been dating since September so that makes it four freaking months already!!! OMOOO!!

2nd. Lee Seunggi and Yoona! waaaah! I have been shipping them for a long time eversince Lee Seunggi admitted that his ideal type was YoonA. 
Although that actually stopped when Seunggi said that after working with Ha Jiwon, he started to like her and LSG and HJW's chemistry was really undeniable but I just couldn't ship them both because of YoonA. 

3rd. SM admitted it in a few hours only! That was a big WOW for me too! Like how can they just confirm it like that? When most of SM artist's scandals were denied most of the time. They would say it's a hoobae-sunbae relationship or friends, or just oppa-dongseng relationship. If I remembered it right they have only confirmed Shinee's Jonghyun and Shin Shi Kyung's relationship but Sulli - Gaeko and Onew -Jung Ah were denied. Even Victoria and Changmin! ses!

Although if I would be SM's manager it wouldn't really make any sense in denying it. First, it's LEE SEUNGGI!!! Seunggi is one of the most popular if not the biggest star in Korea at this time, having a good reputation like him is admirable. He has been known as a gentleman and genuine person. He has won a lot of surveys because a lot of people like him and he is very much respected too. In terms of music, he even went up against SNSD before although he lost but his awards are also daebak! As an actor? He has always had top rating dramas and awarded host in variety shows too! And on the top of that..being the #1 CF endorser in Korea! That is Lee Seunggi..so why would SM deny?


Of course Yoona is not just an idol, she's also something. Being one of the prettiest faces in Korea and in Asia, an awarded actress even if she's just new. She's also a top CF endorser, and of course the center of the #1 Girl Group in Asia -if not the World (now). Our Im Choding is also something you know!

We can already put them in an A-List couple! SM for sure would be happy because it will be a boost of their market and of course people will anticipate SNSD's comeback this first half of the year. Whatever the outcome maybe it would surely be an effect of the publicized relationship of Yoona and Seunggi.

4th. The reaction of the netizens and Korean people were awesome! And to be honest I haven't heard of any bad comments reading on different articles so far. Even reviews on blogs were great too and it has also risen us the #1 search item on different portals in Korea! Like whoooaa!! They're really something! Recently LSG did the Gu Family Book with Bae Suzy and the hot kissing scene they had in the forest was really shocking..shocked everyone! It was LSG and Suzy's first real kissing I think. But because of that a lot of people have been shipping them already. They even won the Best Couple on the recently held 2013 MBC Drama Award. But after the news broke, it seems like LSG and Suzy couple has also turned their admiration to the now couple LSG and Yoona! Awesome right? :) 

5th. This is the first scandal of Lee Seunggi. Meaning, he's very clean and true. While Yoona although she has been linked before (with not to mention PSY, and that was ridiculous) but YoonA is also known to be very good natured woman. I am pretty sure that they would make up a good couple. I am so excited for both of them and hopefully they would last or even get married. 

I really wish they could last forever, because they are just both awesome people. I bet Soshi's are envy now. LOL if they are not dating too. But I doubt if they dont. I am pretty sure that all Soshi members agreed with Seunggi especially these cams below. They approve! :) 

Now that Seunggi is almost up for military enlistment, he wouldn't be that sad anymore because he would have someone who will wait for him when he gets out. And our dear Yoong for sure is pretty loyal <3 omg!!

i am so happy i cannot contain it. wahahha

I hope this is just the beginning, cannot wait for the rest of them to be exposed too. I totally support! :)

Top 5 Korean Actresses

I have been a fan of Korean dramas for like over 5 years now and I think it's time to share my Top 5 Korean Actresses (Actors to follow) on my blog since I am so into it and at the same time I have so much things to say. LOL

So here is my bias list:

1.) Of course my girl crush Ha Ji Won!! I am not crushing her for nothing okay? She has been amazing to my eyes more and more I see her. Currently she is starring Empress Qi an MBC drama and of course she's super great at it! She has starred top rating shows before like Damo, Hwang Jini, Secret Garden and King 2 Hearts. What amazes  me about HJW is that she's very versatile and she's very passionate about her craft. Did you know that she actually studied in less than 3months for all the roles she have been to? Example Hwang Jini, she had to practice Geomungo , had to practice dancing korean folk dances with professional trainer and had to cross the wire over 10ft high from the ground. Awesome right? She also had a movie wherein she was a boxer - Miracle on 1st Street - and she was also trained for that. Not only she had to learn but she also fought against a real boxer on the film. She lost of course but she was awesome like a pro in boxing. She also did aerobics on Sex is Zero and competed like a real finalist, she was told that if she could have practiced for 3months then she could be in national finals for real. And then of course horse backriding, sword fighting, sorts of martial arts, scuba diving, and ping pong. Really an amazing yeoja. She's already 35 years old but she does look 25 years old for me. like, seriously..no joke! Oh I have so much to tell about this lady so I have to stop or else you wont know the rest on the list. LOL

2.) Park Shin Hye this girl is really a tear-jerker. She is awesome on heavy dramas, although I don't really see her as very pretty unlike her characters but other than that I really like this girl. She's very vibrant though and really talented.Among her works that are my favorites are the recently concluded The Heirs (w/ Lee Minho) and Miracle on 7th Cell.

3.) Son Ye Jin - it's funny but this woman really reminds me of my older sister. Must be her nose? LOL but kidding aside, this girl also is great in acting. She's amazing in A Moment to Remember which was one of my favorite movies of all time. I cried so hard! I feel like this girl is really nice personally, I want her to be my sister. Hahah Personal Taste was one of my favorit K-dramas too, it's because of her cute personality.

4.) Song Hye Kyo - she was like my first favorite actress before I met HJW LOL. It's already given that she is very pretty. One of the prettiest in the world! Her Endless Love and Full House were like my favorites eversince. I'd have to say she's like Park Shin Hye for me, although I kinda relate to PSH more because of age? But this girl is also a tear-jerker on her works.

5.) I am not even sure why she is the last but looking at the list she may be is my least favorite from the 4 above hahah but I love her anyways. Yoon Eun Hye. Man she was perfect for Coffee Prince also one of my favorites. Although I think that was really the remarkable story she had ever made, I still think she is an awesome artist even if originally she was on an idol group (Baby Vox). 

Sorry but I don't think I can stop there LOL. I have to put my runners up. LOL

Among the runners up list I also like Han Hyo Joo from Shining Inheritance, and then Moon Chae Won also from Shining Inheritance and Innocent Man. Park Bo Yong is cute from Wolf Boy, and Song Ji Hyo because she's totally different when portraying her roles from Jumong, A frozen flower to Runnng Man! LOL not to mention but I think she's the sexiest on the list aside from Park Shin Hye. But I prefer Ha Ji Won's more :) <3

Why I love KPOP!

If you haven't noticed yet, but I am super fan of KPOP - Korean POP (music). Well, actually just a few artists. Today I am going to list the top 5 reasons why I love KPOP!!! Well, it hasn't been that long that I have been a fan.. maybe around 4 years when Gee era started. So here it goes:

1.) SNSD - while I was trying to explain that they are not my first bias, or they were not the reason why I got into KPOP but actually, they were the reasons. LOL. I have known SNSD since 2009 and although I wasn't that much of fanatic then they were the one who pushed me to get into KPOP. This is a group of 9-angels.. no goddesses! These girls are really amazing individually so what do we expect? I actually have a lot of reasons why I love them I could post a separare blog for that! LOL

2.) Music - Catchy is the word. Although you do not understand the lyrics but it's either the chorus is in english, or the chorus is repeating, or the melody is just easy to remember!

3.) KPOP Fans - I haven't seen fans like the KPOP has. Geez, they're crazy! LOL. When their biases perform you can hear the loud fanchants! glowsticks that would light up venues like domes! They have a huge support from YT viewing and votes online! And for foreigners, even if we have different time zones, fans know how to work it in Korean time! Adik dbha? They are very passionate!

4.) Dedication of Idols - you can really see the dedication of these so-called Idols... Although the word Idol is something really low in their world .. but they all deserve to be called Artists. The hierarchy is from idols -> actresses -> artists. But mind you all of KPOP idols were trained not less than 1-2 years! They were trained and working their butts off like forever! They have to do their best on their training just to debut. That is why most of the KPOP idols really are good in terms of performing live! There are always discrimination about not performing live, but you would understand because they mostly dance like crayy!!

5.) The industry itself. This is actually something to be envy about.  KPOP idols can guest wherever they want, which channels, which music station, shows, variety shows. Although they have channel rivalries but the idols are allowed to guest anywhere unlike in the Philippines when artists/idols can only stay and do shows on their home networks. Kpop doesn't have like that. That may be is the reason why KPOP is known because all channels can view/use/expose them. I get sad because Philippines have amazing artists too but they are isolated on their home networks because of network war. It really sound silly to me.

Anyway, So yeah.. there goes my top 5. Maybe next time I get to post again the reasons why I love SNSD because I haven't posted anything about them yet. :))

SNSD - My Mistake

SNSD - My Mistake Lyrics (English)

Sica - I’m still at the same spot/place
I’m weary from wandering by your side

Seohyun – Even today, as I was wandering
Day has passed again and again.
Now I’m here

Sooyoung – You know. You know that my heart is hurting
Yoona – Watching you laugh/smile makes my heart ache more

(all)
It’s my mistake for not making you love me more
It’s my mistake for loving you more than you love me
It’s my mistake for not making you love me as much as I wanted you to.

Taeyeon – How much longer must I cry
As I’m trusting that promise/ I’m only trusting/ believing that promise

Sunny – You lied to me to wait for you
Even my greedy side(for his love) has grown weary/tired

Hyoyeon – You know. You know that my heart is hurting/aching
Tiffany – You can’t just ignore and laugh/smile like that.
(all)
It’s my mistake for not making you love me more
It’s my mistake for loving you more than (you love/like me? This is my assumption)
It’s my mistake for not making you love me as much as I wanted you to.

Yuri – I knew I couldn’t have you
Sica – But my heart(my love for you) just kept growing
Taeyeon – It’s my mistake for
Waiting by myself
Regretting by myself
Loving you.
(all)
Even though my heart was hurting/aching
It’s my mistake for not letting you go/forgetting you

Taeyeon – I’m such a fool
I knew I would get hurt and couldn’t let go

Seohyun – it’s my mistake
Sunny – Even though it could be all my fault/mistake
That’s ok. As long as you’re there…

Tiffany – Always…
Taeyeon – Please forgive me for being like this.
(forgive the person) Who loved you

G-Dragon One of a Kind

Kwon Ji Yong - August 18, 1988

Stage name: G-Dragon
Group: BigBang
Position: Leader, Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer

I never liked BigBang before because aside from being an SM Towner (SM fan) all the members  are not as good looking nor cute like 2PM or Super Junior. I never even watched any of their variety shows because I feel like they are no fun. I was a 2PM fan before alongside SNSD but now..it has been changed because of this guy - G-Dragon.

G-dragon originally started in SM but transferred after 4-5 years as a trainee to YG wherein he was pushed and asked to write songs starting by the age 12. He was the youngest song writer in YG that time.
Why his name was changed to Gdragon? I know it's kind of a weird name eh? It was actually derived from his first name Ji (read us G in english) Yong (Korean for Dragon) so GDragon. Awesome? Yes. He thought of it himself. He's so cool like that.

If you noticed, I know a lot about him.. Well, I really want to know him better! haha if only I am not in love with my boyfriend right now I think I will be dreaming about G-Dragon all the time. JK LOL. He makes my heart flutters like no other idols can, he makes me feel giddy, excited, amazed, starstruck, and makes me fall in love every time I see him and I dont really care what he is doing. I have never been a fan of male artists before but G-Dragon is just really different.

Did you know that he is the richest idol in Korea at the age 23? He doesn't have a wealthy family okaay, what made him rich is because aside from writing songs, singer, he would also produce music and were all selling like pancakes.

Did you know that he composed the song Lies by BigBang that was actually their breakthrough to stardom. If not for "Lies" (Gojitmal) BigBang wouldn't be recognized as what they are right now. 

Did you know that he once said that he can write a song in a blink of an eye (Go Show!) . Isn't that awesome?

Currently, he is promoting his second studio album Coup D'Etat with it's carrier single Coup D'Etat. He has three songs actually being promoted right now Coup D'Etat, Black ft. Jennie Kim (YG trainee) / ft. Ferreira Sky, and Crooked. All of these songs won on different music shows that can rarely be done by a solo artist and that is Gdragon! #proudfan of course, he wrote and produced the album so he's making a lot of money in just a month (or less) especially that now...these songs are still charting on music charts.

I honestly don't think any K-idols can do what he does. I may sound bias but seriously, he's just amazing! He may look weird with his fashion statement but in terms of working he is really excelling. Her future girlfriend/wife would be lucky. These are just the things that I like about G-dragon that I find amazing, I will edit this if I ever find something. LOL
