Round and Round

My work is insane!!!! Its like really complex and I have to condense it down into 600 words...then I have to make it look pretty!!!! To add on top of that...I'm so tired of uni work...I've been doing it for three years and I'm pretty much fed up with it.

WHERE HAS MY DRIVE GONE???

Of course, I also get distracted by a certain brown eyed boy whose existance completely amazes me... >_<

Recently I started doing this thingy where I write down one sentence every night about how I feel or where I'm at or whatever. It's quite fun to do then I put a date on it. Its great for when I dont feel like writing in my diary, but want to make note that I have actually lived that day...for future reference of course!!!

I got told off (nicely) by my course tutor today for my poor attendance. I wanted to tell him to try waking up at 6am when you are warm and snuggled in bed on a cold winters morning...but that would be completely childish of me considering he probably knows exactly how that feels ROFL...I don't want to look like a complete bumtrinket now do I?

I love Please Don't Go by CL and Minji if 2NE1....it completely ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was listening to it on the bus today and I wanted to dance but I was kind of scared of the old man behind me who was talking to himself....weird.

I wrote a poem on the bus too...It doesn't have a name yet, but here it is:

'Carefully...' I think
I look at my destination
My future
My hope
The choices before me
Which should I choose?
Which one will lead me to you?
What is this tightness in my chest in my chest?
Is it because there might be a chance
that my life isn't leading to you?

I can stand some losses
but not that...

My heart breaks at the mere thought

Without you I can live,
but only with you can I be truly alive...

I wrote it on the bus... what can I say? Bus rides make me think...I think about now and then and everything...and if my thoughts get too loud I stick my headphones on and blast them out with K-POP.....

REFRESH ME

So thats about it for today...

Its Raining, Im Inside, but I Feel It

I've been in a predicament with myself. You see, people have different sides to them and I am no exception. When I wake up I am filled with aspirations of what I could accomplish only for them to be drowned out by my lack of interest in my surroundings....or rather the little world I have created for myself.

If there was a project in which the students had to create a world for themselves mine would be a fail. Maybe thats why the wise people stop trying to do things all by themselves and let God create worlds...even miniature ones.

Its been my habit for a long time to write a diary every year. Recently I read through them and you know what was always the same about each one. In the first entry of them all I always write that Im wondering whether anything will have changed in my life by the time the diary is full...you know what? I dont feel like aything has changed...I mean, stuff has...but I didn't feel it.

The diaries from my teenage years are full of questions...most of those questions are to do with boys and when would I get one? I smiled a lot reading them. I only ever met one person who came up to scratch back then...It was a nice if not fleeting moment...Now I dont even bother about boys in any other way than that of friendship...friendship tends to last longer than romance in my life...to my future heart stealer, if you exist...I respect you...It must have been hard.

As I carried on reading my memories to my later teens all I seemed to be thinking about was studies and finishing and A+ results...for these accounts I know that I am an able person - if I really really desire to have something from the bottom of my heart I can get it. I feel proud of myself, not because of the good grades, but because I didn't let myself down...and its a good feeling.

The past three years Ive complained...A LOT. This is because I am making excuses for myself, because I havn't been doing what I should. I want everything, but make no movment to grasp at it. I keep telling myself that dreams come to you when in fact, its the opposite...we have to work to make our dreams reality....

To this day Im a little lost...somewhere in between two unknown places. I have desires and dreams this year, just as I did in all those years that have past. I tell myself that I wont wonder about where I'll be in the future, but its still there - lingering in my mind.

I wonder...

Im looking at myself in a new light recently. Asking myself what do I truly want. Its actually quite a hard question to answer. I have this life that I was given...how do I steer it? What was I supposed to do with it? I'm always asking myself these questions.

Sometimes they hammer into my head all the time and drive me crazy. Then I go to my beloved outlet at BBVIP and live my moments there carefree. I'm lucky to have found such a wonderful place. The thought of not ever meeting the people there is a terrible thing. Its horrendous for me to even think about before when they lived in this world and I had no idea...I think its all to do with destiny though. I mean there is always a purpose to meeting people. I dont believe in chance.

Unfulfilled

I'm getting used to waiting

My body is relaxing

Not settling for a loss

Just waiting for the win

I move in empty circles

I live for the necessity

Being patient for the moment

When I'll be free from the wait

I close my eyes and breathe

Everything crawls in slow motion

The days they pass so slow

And yet they speed right by

Nothing seems to proceed

Yet steady pace of life continues

and this is how it is

Nothing happens, but everything changes
Chances of new loves are missed

and yet, I continue waiting

What are new loves in comparison?

To live a day with you

Is more than 1000 with another

If someone else gave me their heart

I would be decievig them

for I'd still be waiting for yours.

So basicly that is how I feel...only extra acute,

Expectations, Dogs and of course, Jiyong - the gorgeous daddy

Its september now...and what an emotional rollercoaster August was. What with assignments, losses, gains and Heartbreaker (GD's solo album ghgfdsxcvbnjhytr) last month was pretty epic, in both a good way and a bad way.

So what does this month hold for me? What treasureful moments will it add to my very short life on earth?....well, to be honest, I havn't the foggiest. I am only hoping that among the monotony and boredom of everyday dullness there will be beautiful moments. As long as my hope stays full...and my mind occupied.

SO, anyone want to see a picture of the most delicious dot displayer in the history of the world? Not to mention a loving daddy...

I know you want to ^ ^I totally know how he feels about GaHo, because I feel the same way about Sam.

This sort of leads me to a pet peeve...actually, this is something that ticks me off A LOT.

I am VERY fond of my dog for a number of reasons.

1. My one wish growing up was for a dog

2. I love dogs in general

3. I got Sam when I was really lonely and needed a friend

What makes me mad the most is those ignorant people, who can't possibly know how it feels to have a dog....I swear I find it hard to contain my anger.

Let me explain, having a dog is like having a child...different of course, but there is a bond..and I swear to you, its a strong bond. I would lay down any amount of money and even endure pain for my dog...it may sound silly to none dog lovers, but this is a how tight the bond between dog and master is. When someone belittles this I GET SO FREAKING MAD...they laugh and say stuff like, 'Its just a dog' I have to use every ounce of self control to stop myself from saying every insulting phrase I know to their pathetic faces!!!!

I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. My friend just lost her dog and some inconsiderate fool used the 'it was only a dog' phrase. That person couldn't possibly know what she was going through.

When you have used part of your life, to care, bring up, nurture and protect a living creature...do you really think, 'it was only a dog' is an appropriate phrase to use.

NO

It was a beautiful creature...and it had life in it and it loved its owners and they loved it!!!

I know I may sound rabid, but its something that I feel strongly about.

Anyway, to calm down I'll post more pictures of my beloved Jiyongie on his most recent endeavours. The smile to melt a thousan hearts....now do you understand why I love him so much?

My weakness is smiles...and he has a stunning smile...I fell for him like a ton of bricks

...words cannot describe the pure sexinesss....I'll leave it at that!!!

I will continue to support G Dragon as he promotes the best album of 2009 (tied with Youngbaes and Big Bamgs of course) JIYONG FIGHTING AND BLESS YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND COURAGE

From your min

all creds for the pics to asianfantics forums ^ ^

If you love GD and Big Band head over to bbvip.net....I swear its the best forum in the world...come and join the family!!!!!

Short

This is going to be short and simple. A statement on how I feel:

If it were not for Jiyong and his gorgeous me2day updates I would be dead inside...a walking corpse...atm I feel no emotion...none. Just numb. Don't know whats wrong with me. Why do all the things I want seem so far away?

Future

Its been a funny week.
Not sure what to make of it.
I guess every week in someones life has an effect...the little pieces of the story.
I wrote a few poems these past few days so I thought I'd share one with you.
It's not rhyming and doesn't have structure, but it is raw and from the heart.

Future?

What can I do?

To let you know without letting you know

How can I act?

For you to get the point.

You're winning the game where the prize is my heart.

do you realize it?

Or is this me falling for a bystander?

I could disguise my mind at firstbut the truth is starting to show.

Should I tell myself this isn't real?

I could lie to myself in order to forget you

but it would still be a lie.

Soon something is going to break

Will it be the ties that bind us?

My pride that keeps me from you?

Or my heart when I know that you never saw me...
I'm slowly going crazy

gradually losing my heart to you

Would you accept it if you knew it was yours?

Or would you leave it without a home?

I could never take it back

A rejected heart hurts more than one that has never been given.
So now I'll let nature take its course

And believe that you'll come to meI

hope you are believing for me too.

Sorry if it seems pathetic.

When I needed you - where did you go?

My parents came home from America today laden with t-shirts. Did anyone know I was an avid collector of t-shirts. You wouln't know the simplest for of fashion could be so entertaining until youve actually tried it....IM OBSESSED WITH T SHIRTS.

Today has not been great though, in fact, I'm pretty depressed. Even to the point of crying - there is no reason for it, I just feel this way.

I think everyone has these days and maybe I'm too self-involved, but I really want to feel happy. Where are all my friends? I wish I could fly away somewhere and just not have a care. Caring makes things harder. because when you care, you make yourself vunerable to dissapointment. I feel unfulfilled and empty and ridiculous. I don't know what to do...I really feel lost. It's tiring always loving other people and getting no love in return. Should I give up?

from a very downcast Min

I'm Expecting!!!!

Uggghhh, it's 1:28am and I should be fast asleep dreaming about Jiyong, but I'm not.

I get my 2nd year results tomorrow (actually, later on today). I'm pretty nervous to tell you the truth. I didn't do too well this year I just know it. I'm just hoping and praying I can scrape a pass.

I'm picking up my wage today too - the one I earned from my short-lived job.

You gotta love life ne?!!!

I'm SO buying that Jiyong t-shirt!!! No-one can stop me...I earned money especially so I could WEAR him...LOL....I'm slightly insane because of extreme tiredness, you will have to forgive me.

Other news:

My parents are going to the U S of A on Monday so me and Sarah will be alone for a week...eeekkk. I'm going to have to act like a responsible adult. You know how hard that is for me?

Also, Me and Leslie are starting to plan the ending of our fic now. I feel sad that it will be over in a few chapters. I've quite enjoyed writing it...buuuttt, I kind of have an Idea for another one up my sleeve...aaannndd, there has been mention of a sequel to Phobia of Love...but, we'll see how it goes.

Oooo yeah, the MV of I Don't Care by 2NE1 came out today (yesterday). Me wonderful Eonnie Zaty gave me the link :D The end part made me laugh, those girls ^ ^

Well, I better get some sleep now...

*sends much love to all corners of the earth*

From Min

P.S. I just have to mention one more thing...KWON JI YONG HAS GORGEOUS LUSH HAIR!!!! I WANT TO FEEEEELLL IT....ahem....

Happiness Gone..Just Like That

I know I already posted somethig today, but you know when there is something on your mind and you just have to say it, well here it is ~

Maybe I'm a fool

but I'm torn at the heart

What began as a blessing

ended as a curse

The memories we share

Seperated us from others

But now that we are apart

They break me up inside

It is a beautiful pain

The reminder of lovely things

And yet, it tells the story of a loss

Other news...I'm despairing...I lost my job...darn weather spoiled the strawberries, so they are keeping all the work for the Romanians who came over. I'm gonna miss them all!!! They were so much fun to work with. I'm kind of attached to them now :'(

Sooo despondent...I need cheering up

Dreams, why do they tend to not come true?

I got up at 4:30 again today - stupid farm work, getting me out of bed at the crack of dawn!!!
The great thing was, It rained so I got off waaay earlier than expected, woooo!!!...even though by now, the rain has stopped so the workers who live on the farm will be back in the fields again...poor them XD

I had an amazing dream last night - Big Bang had spare time on their 'UK tour' (just by that alone you can tell it is a dream) so they decided to do a mini concert in the church building we use in Manchester....OMG it was so real!! I felt so excited. And then after the concert they were standing on the steps giving autographs and stuff and all my non-VIP friends were there trying to suck up, even though they probably don't even know what Haru Haru means...grrrr...
Anyway I was just asking Jiyong (yes him) for his autograph, when I realized I didn't have my book with me so I asked him to wait until I got it and as I was walking to get it from my bag I realized he'd followed me....KWON JI YONG had followed me!!! then he waited while I got my drawing book and asked if he could take a look at my work...then he got so close to me...and I mean close. My heart was beating sososososososoooo fast, it was SO real.....but then I woke up. But it was the best dream I've had in a flipping long time....I just can't get over how close he felt hahaha....I'm such a fanatic, but I don't care...big bang is my medicine!!....it's funny how the only member I spoke to in my dream was Jiyong though...well...maybe not too suprising, the amount of time I spend spazzing over him.

Now I have to go to uni and drop off this freaking portfolio...then I'm getting a nice bath and washing every single bit of strawberry smell off my body....I don't see strawberries the same way anymore...lol...they disgust me...

Anyhoo see you soon :D

Swinging Moods, must be something in the Water

I feel weird today.

It's like, I'm hyper, but only because I'm trying to block out this depressed feeling thats trying to grab at me. Maybe it's the warm muggy cloudy weather. I'm not sure about myself today. What is this feeling? Unfulfillment? Aigoo, it's making me moody.

In other news, my bed collapsed yesterday. The story goes -

I had a major spazz fest and then Sarah joined in...and then so did Sam.
Now Sammy's way of spazzing was to grab a bag that was hanging on my bedpost and pull it for all he was worth...which made the bedpost come apart from the bed and cause it all to collapse.
So I have to sleep on the floor until my dad fixes it....Heaven knows when that will be.

Stinking uni just asked me why I hadn't handed in my portfolio for last year. The thing is, they never told anyone to do this so how were we supposed to know? It's freaking annoying because I can't find one of my assignments. Stupid stupid!!!!! Why can't they just let me enjoy summer? I thought I'd got away from in all for a few lush free months!!!

Meanwhile Big Bang are being gorgeous as usual, making this dull day a whole lot brighter for me. They are like the friends I've never met...one day maybe I can haha, I wish!!! I sound like a crazy fan, but I love how they don't call their supporters 'fans'. We are their VIP's....which is kind of like concubines....OMG hahahahahahah, I cracked myself up, what can I say, I'm totally mood swinging today....its like how the mood ring song goes

"Cos when its black means watch your back, because your probably
The last person in the world right now she wants to see...
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediatly
and ask her out because she'll most likely agree.
And when it's green it simple means that she is really stressed
and when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless
and thats allright I must confesss......."

Haha I love that song is's completely classic. Ahhh!!!! SO fresh, SO cool!!!!!

LIKE BIG BANG - sfkjshdfkjhsdjkhfbczmnbcvyasgdlfga.iweshf/ashdlkfh.hasdlkfhbjdbfgkjvhdsb

I need to spazz, it is my energy source... MY ENERGYYY!!!!! ahahahah big bang are everywhere........I LOVE IT!!!!

I'm loving you all canstantly...be good my crazies!!! Muuuaahhhh

Rain, Sun and more sun....and More Sun

Wow, today has been...wow.

Well first of all I woke up at 5:30 so I could get to work for 6:00, but then I heard really heavy rain on my windows (no not the the guy, I mean actual rain). When I heard it I thought, "What the heck I aint going if it's raining...' and then went back to sleep.

I mean, who does that? You just don't decide not to go to your work if it's raining!!! I must have like been delusional because of tiredness or something.

Anyway, it ended up being ok because, they didn't start until the rain had finished anyway and I ended up only being 1/2 hour late, which is ok, because I totally pwned those strawberries!!!

The thing is, today was the hottest day of the year so far and I was outside unser the blazing sun from 8:00 am to 5:30pm, which means I'm pretty much red raw...my skin feels like it's on FIRE...but it's ok because when it's settles I'll have a nice tan :D

In the middle of the day my dongsaeng Leslie called me and told me Gara Gara Go had come out, and I totally started having a spazz fest in the middle of the field. My dongsaeng was so great though, she played it for me through the phone twice!!! But then she started teasing me, that the video was hella sexy and I couldn't watch it yet, grrrr. Big Bang once again made my day. They are lushies, I adore them.

WhenI got home the whole family decided to take Sam for a walkie in the park and then afterwards we got a McD, which is never bad..

Anyway sorry If I've been blabbing and being boring, but I'm REALLY tired and should be sleeping....I love that I have two days off though, I've got tons of catching up to do. It's suprising what you miss in three days!!!!

Bye for now my gorgeouses

The Events of Today, Some Thoughts and a Bit of 'Slight' Spazzing

I worked for twelve hours straight today. My aching back seems like it will never be young again. Now I know how those old people who have hunched backs feel.

The thing is though, I thought I'd hate it today, but I actualy feel really good...sort of fulfilled... Sorry if this sounds weird, but I think I actually like being a farm labourer...because it's like the most sought after job everrr *sarcasm*. It is hard work, but because it is more physically challenging than mentally, it gives me time to think.

So the following are some of the things I thought today in no particular order:

Strawberries - LOL

How I wished I could speak Korean -which is kind of weird, because knowing Korean would not help me communicate with my Romanian colleagues at all

Big Bang - well of course, they were singing in my ears almost all day

Poetry - I tried to make some up in my mind, but all I could think of was strawberries and I'm not ready to publicise my feeling about them yet. I'm still a little confused XD

Tea - because there was none

My dog Sam - The dogs on the farm are cute, but not a patch on him

Travelling -hate the thought that I'm going to live on this earth for 70+ years and I will never get to see it all... I want to wander (lonely as a cloud ^ ^)

Friendship - How it is important to me, it's the closest thing to being in love that isn't actually being in love.

Time - Why on earth do I take so long at everything? I linger so I can choose, but will lingering in one place cause me to miss something thats just a little further ahead?

Jiyongs Solo album - I can die happy when I've heard this. I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that it will be AWESOME!!

My back!!! - because it was killing...it still is ^ ^

So thats been pretty much my entire day. Then I came home and had the most looked-forwarded-to bath in the entire world.

Now I'm totally chilled and Leslie just gave me a preview of the next chapter of our fic!!! It was a cute Jiyong and Joo Min moment...you just gotta a love those two!!!

If your wondering who Jiyong is...heres a pic for you (LOL, any excuse to plaster him all over the place, ey?) :P

Yes...this is the very same man I dedicated a whole blog to, what can I say? He's just a babe...

Apparently it's going to be HOT tomorrow. Britain is currently having a heat wave and I'm serious, it's hot. There are BBQ'ed Brits walking all over the place. That said, this heat is just the normal temperature in India, we are such big softies!! Anyway, because of this heat work has to start an hour earlier, which means my wake up time is 4:30, eeek!! >_<>

Ahhh sometimes life is so good!!!

Love to you all, you gorgeous people you!!!

From Min

Loving life? or Living Life?

I've not written a post in a ridiculous amount of time and as it is 00:47 in the morning (GMT) I decided to write one.

I have an announcement to make...Today I ********** Victoria Davies worked for money!!! Yes I did. The annoying this is, I have yet to get my hard earned money and belive me it WAS hard earned. I picked strawberries from 8:00am to 4:45pm, it was back breaking and my arms are now sunburned...not that I'm complaining, because they'll go brown when the red has faded :D I'm back working again on Monday, this time from 6:00am...I think I will probably die. but anyway, enough of this work talk!!! It boring!!!

Other news!!! I'm falling in love!!!....nope, not like that...there is still no-one around who is worthy of my efforts. The thing I am falling in love with is writing...well, it's more like a re-falling in love, since I was in a relationship with it before...but I'm sorry to say I neglected it and it felt lost and confused and slipped away from me, but then it realized that I was lonely without it and regretted pushing it aside and it came back to me.................

WTH? What is wrong with me? Anyway the point is, I've started writing again and it's all because my lush dongsaeng Leslie asked me to co-write a fic with her. I'm totally enjoying it. It's a good chance for me to sharpen my writing skills a bit and all that jazz, anyway if anyone is interested I'll link you to the story---it's a fantasy one ^ ^---Though the only people who read my blog probably have already read the fic. Ne? Zaty Eonnie? hehehe

I'm in a strange mood today. Can't quite put my finger on what I feel...Is it contentment or is it hope? Is it happiness or is it excitement? I dunno, but I know one thing...I'm tired, SOSOS tired...well, it is o1:09am...HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE, I love you today just as much as I did yesterday and maybe a bit more.

What Comes of Reminiscing

Here's a new poem I wrote only last night when I was reminiscing about old times haha :)

Feelings Lost

Why can't I write what I want to say

Useless words on a half-written page

The heart is there, but the transition is poor

Why doesn't my head know my heart anymore?

I don't want to forget that wonderful time

But, I can't seen to find words for this rhyme

When did you become a memory to me?

You used to be something I wanted to see.

And the feeling is gone, it left long ago

Do things that seem important not matter so?

I want all the fondness to stay in my heart

But, the emotions all leave now that we are apart.

Now to me you are just a person I knew

Back then I thought I'd always stay true

The wishes of a younger version of myself

Are neatly swept away and left on a shelf

Will the things that I feel right here and now

Also lose meaning and fade somehow?

Stuff thats going ONNNNN and This n That

I havn't posted up here in a while, my apologies, if anyone actually reads this haha. Otherwise, sorry to myself......ok so, I've been really busy with uni work lately, because it's close to the end of school year and the beginning of summer!!! I have so much I want to do this summer, but I wont talk about this Just yet.
First, I joined a new forum dedicated to Big Bang and for all the iVIPs, it's awesome so if you are a VIP and wan't to spazz away with other VIPs please join because you'll have a good time I assure you :)
To check out BBVIP click http://bigbangvip.net/index.php?act=idx you won't regret it ^^ Lets support our boys international-style hahahah.See they are happy for you to join ^^...except TOP maybe...but he's just playing cool, he's happy really....the pic is Big Bang in Japan, they are bringing out the My Heaven Single very soon so they are working hard...BIG BANG in Japan HWAITING!!! I wish I could go with you guys too (lol).

SORRY if you're not a BB fan, but I must warn you that the spazzing is not going to stop for a few minutes, I have to tell you about the new BB stuff I've bought!!

1. The Global Warning DVD's - AIIGOOOO I cannot tell you how awesome these are I keep forcing myself to watch them bit by bit so I can savour every minute. On top of that you get Taeyang HOT concert DVD included and my oh my is it hot!!! Hahah, yesterday we watched Young Bae for breakfast, it was the SHIZZZZZ.

SO thats a nice three things added to my growing collection of BB stuff...I really want it ALL haha.

So now I'm going to post a poem that I wrote this morning, it hasn't got a name, but I felt fiercly about something so I wrote my feelings haha.

When you say your angry words

I am sickened and disturbed

I refuse to be moved by words -NEVER

I'll act like they're something I never heard

Your understanding is getting slower

Did you ever have dreams?

In your whole life have you ever wondered

About the things there are to see?

Yeah, I know the little things count

But, without them the world still goes round

Sorry to burst your bubble

but, I like how the bigger things sound

That my friends, was dedicated to the little people of the world...enjoy my anger hehe..

Anyway, I'll stop here for today....

My Sassy Boys (well two of them)

Ugh, I've not had a good or productive day. I started out thinking all positive and now at 18:16 I've found I've not done anything at all. I have loads of uni work I havn't even started, which has to be handed in next Thursday...I havn't started mainly because I'm not too sure about what I'm supposed to do...the assignment briefing is VERY vague, I can't belive how crap my life is becoming. On top of everything else, I had a big argument with my dad today and I think I hurt his feelings, not to mention I refused to go on a family walk with them. On my side of the argument I was pushed when I'm already stressed, but that is never a good enough excuse to hurt someones feelings. Especially my dad, who has done so much for me. Sometimes I think he expects too much of me though. I'm not particularly interested in housework and other such things, but I still do them ALL the time when he's at work and yet when he gets home he says I havn't done anything....akkkk but anyway enough of this feeling sorry for myself, its boring and I've got it off my chest now so I feel a bit better...now onto more important things....

The actor that has caught my eye for the past few weeks happens to be Cha Tae Hyun (the My Sassy Girl Guy).

I keep watching films and then later realizing that he was the lead roll or noticing him as a cameo. Then the other day I found the Family Outing episode that he's in and it proved to be hilarious (look out for the mexican accents if you ever watch that one I alost died when Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Joong Kook started talking to that Preying Mantis >_<). I thought I should just mention him because he stars in two films I admire a great deal, One of the of course, being My Sassy Girl and the other being Babo - a film which I watched earlier this year and its amazing. If you havn't seen it, try and find it, because it will leave you breathless (hahaha I alost wrote breast-less, oops). Anyway I found that CTH has been in another film that has had major success in Korea and American Producers have also shown intrest in making a US version (hopefully they won't make a complete hash up like they did with the My Sassy Girl remake - if you want to know how to ruin a good story, watch that). This movie is called Speedy Scandal and here is the synopsis I got off hancinema -

NAM Hyun-soo was once a popular idol star among teens and worshiped liked a god. Although he’s in his mid-thirties now, he’s still a sought-after celebrity and the host of a popular radio show. But one day a very young single mom named Jung-nam sends her stories to the radio show that Hyun-soo hosts. Her stories about her longing to meet her father whom she’s never seen before grips the nation and catapults the ratings to make it the most popular program. But to his surprise, Hyun-soo later confronts none other than Jung-nam, and her 7 year-old boy, Gi-dong. Jung-nam and Gi-dong invade Hyun-soo’s home and his radio station, claiming that Hyun-soo is her father. Hyun-soo does what he can to salvage his celebrity image.

Sounds interesting ne? I can't wait until I can watch it, then I'll tell you how good I think it is :)

Other films starring Cha Tae Hyun that I enjoyed are My Girl and I and Highway Star, the former being a drama and the latter being a comedy.

Oh, it was Lee Jun Ki's 27th birthday yesterday and he's doing his second fan meet tonight...in fact, it's probably finished now, because it's tomorrow in Korea ^_^. Anyhoo I wish him all the best for his 27th year and hope that he continues to have a prosporous life (and continues to be as gorgeous as ever). I love you LJK, just for being so completely awesome!!!!

I'm all excited because I can finish watching Iljimae soon (it starts the beautiful human being in the above picture), but I'm afraid uni work comes first...after all I can get my degree then get a good job, then get some money and then go to Korea and have some fun....FIGHTING!!!!

I keep seeing things I want to buy, its not good hehehe :)

Anyway, laters people ^_^

Listening to: D.I.S.C.O - Uhm Jung Hwa Feat. T.O.P (the TOP bit sooo HAWT)

G-Dragon

I was thinking about content for future blogs when there is not much exciting happening (like always). I've decided I'm going to write a little something about each of the artists (actors, actresses, mc's, musical artists) that I have a special attachment to. I'll just write stuff like when I first saw them and why I like them and why they are particularly special to me.

Today I'm going to write about a musical artist who is one of those multi-talented people who you would envy a great deal if you didn't already love them to death....

This person is....*drumroll*....G-Dragon!!!!

Whose real name is Kwon Ji Yong (but all you fangirls out there knew that already right?).

I honestly don't think there is a reason not to like this person. Here are a few reasons why everyone loves him.

1. He is the leader of the sensational group Big Bang and boy, is he a good leader

2. Even though he is the leader he's not too serious and knows how to have a good time.

3. He is renowned for being able to wear just about anything and make it look good. (I know from what I've seen if anyone but him had worn some of those outfits they would have been taken to prison...ma, he makes them look good...even if they are not)

Yes, he is dressed as a woman here, it was for a very hilarious skit he did with fellow band member TOP *Excuse to post a Tabi Pic ^_^*

This is TOP (He's a handsome boy huh...and a freaking good rapper!!!!! jfhdjkhfsdfhg)

Back to GD ^_^

(Not one of his very outrageous outfits, but he looks cute, ne?)

GD in cheeky eyeliner mode.....he just reeks of cheeky doesn't he...*fond*

Not sure what he's wearing here, obviously he's pretty happy though....what a smile :)

4. He can rap and sing and write his own music and he writes songs for fellow band members (namely seungri and Daesung, the dongsengs...*picture excuse!!!!!*)

Dae Dae and Seungri ^^^^^ (Maknae looks somewhat upset that his Hyung is trying to kill him ^_^)

5. Most of the time he has a cheeky smile on his face and thats why we all love him :)

Now, for special reasons why I love him :)

1. He is one of the cutest people I have ever seen eg....

He has the AWWW factor right?

2. As well as being cute he's also prone to being very hot when he wishes ;) --- and I'm not complaining.


We all know Bong looks good in a suit *Gazes in admiration*

Kwon Leader with the fake tats lol, he doesn't need those anymore.

3. I love his adorable hyung/dongseng relationship with Seungri...GO G-RI

Haha my excuse to put LUSH screenshot from Strong Baby up ^_^

Yep G loves his maknae a lot....and we love that they are so lubing :)

4. He has that leader aura when you see him on interviews, which I think is awesome

He looks sad here.....

5. He sometimes tries to be cold, but all GD fans know its an act and that he's actually a fun, caring and very cute guy.....and talented to boot.

Ji Yong mid-yawn, cuuuuuttteee

Bong kissing up to the camera, literally

6. He has Amaaaaaazing hair (but I'm not going to go into this because GD's hair needs a whole blog post for itself ^_^)

7. And to finish with this blog, the reason why I love G Dragon Most of all is because he is an invaluable part of the best most fantastic wonderful brilliant music group in the world......

BIG BANG!!!!

Love From Min :P

First of all I havn't updated for so long so I have MUCH to put forth in this post. Second of all, most of the content of this post with be complete spazzing over Big Bang because in these past few weeks they have been busy making cfs and digital singles and numerous other things so I have been in fangirl heaven.
So I will begin: BIG BANG

The female version of Big Bang are called 21 or 2NE1 (TO ANYONE, geddit?). When I heard a female group was going to be formed I was quite unsure of if I would like them or not. Fortunately for me (and them) I absolutely adore the song 'Lollipop' they did together with Big Bang (actually I'm currently listening to it). They look like pretty cool girls and look good working together with the boys. I don't know all of their names yet so I wont try to remember, but I'm looking forward to what they are going to bring in the future :)

Here's the MV for Lollipop:




Big Bang Highlights of the mv for me: TOP singing the chorus and his glasses, the way G-Dragon says 'rainbow' ^_^, Seungris cape it's sooooo cute, Bae dancing with all the girls even though he's quite shy really and his 'F-R-E-S-H', Dae Dae's break with Seungri was awesome, I love it when the dongsengs sing together (like in Number 1)...oh and when Dae goes O-o-ohh yeah, it gets me everytime, there is also a G-Ri moment at the end if you look carefully, at about 3:05 I think....heck the whole mv is a highlight and is it just me who has been doing the Lollipop dance all day?...and I'm spazzing again (tries to calm down but fails).

Here's the two Big Bang CF's that have come out recently, the first one is for the Lollipop phone and the one they wrote the song for and the second one is for Hite Beer and Seugri isn't in it because at the time of filming he was promoting Strong Baby and also he's underage or something like that, enjoy---



It's similair to the MV, doesn't that phone look cool, if only they sold it in England *sigh*

Soulmates

As I sit here on the sofa listening to 'Until Whenever' which is an awesome song by BIG BANG (my fave K-Pop group in the whole wide world ^__^) I decided to write a blog on something I feel very strongly about. As you may know, the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango (subsequently called Boys Before Flowers) is currently airing and actually quite near its final episode. I have been following it ravenously every week, because quite frankly, it's one of the most entertaining dramas I've ever beheld. To come to the point of this blog: There is a certain pairing in this drama that many people want to see more of (including myself). This pairing is that of So Yi Jung played by the extremely adorable Kim Bum and Chu Ga Eul brought to life by the pretty and talented actress Kim So Eun. To give you a quick overview of their relationship is quite a hard thing, but I will try my best.

In Boys Before Flowers the two main characters are called Goo Jun Pyo and Geum Jan Di, these two characters have their respective best friends (in fact Jun Pyo has three BFF's, but in this blog I will just mention one). Jan Di's best friend is Ga Eul and Jus Pyo's is of course, Yi Jung. As the fates of the two main characters entwine their two best friends eventually evolve a wonderfuly addictive chemistry which makes watching this drama (for me anyway) all the more interesting. Yi Jung and Gaeul are constantly speaking to each other about finding ones soulmate and the whole fated to be with one person thing and the viewers are constantly screaming at the screen "You are in front of each other you FOOLS!!!" It doesn't help that Yi Jung is a complete and utter playboy who hasn't got over his first love (who has annoyingly appeared)....to be fair on Gaeul she did confess to him so she really is the man in this relationship as she tends to be the more mature and less emotional. Yi Jung on the other hand, is in a rut because of family problems and is simply refusing to admit he has feelings for Gaeul.

I'm up to episode 19 ATM and I'm hoping above all hope that Yi jung does not return to his first love leaving Gaeul to get over him by telling herselfit was never meant to be. THEY are meant to be together and I won't be happy if the drama ends with them still being seperate. All those meaningful glances and understanding looks they fire at each other cannot be for no reason.

Anyway SoEulmates FIGHTING!!!!

The following are pics of the fated (I hope) couple:

It's so obvious they should be together and marry each other and have offspring isn't it?

Anyway if this pairing doesn't turn out the way I want it too I will die a bit inside.

See you later,

Minnn

Time Between Dog and Wolf and My Weekend Distractions

I've started watching a new drama called Time Between Dog and Wolf. It first came out in 2007 and stars Lee Jun Ki (suprise suprise), Jung Kyung Ho and Nam Sang Mi. It is shockingly good and I think I'm going to buy it when my next batch of money comes in from student finance. I know I'm really supposed to buy educational materials with student finance, but I'm learning Korean, so watching dramas will help me.

SO anyway Time Between Dog and Wolf is sort of a mystery/gangster/romance and it's awesome. The story revolves around the three characters and their relationships with each other and the past that haunts them. There is of course a love triangle, but no Kdrama would be quite the same without one and so I accept it gladly. I won't go into detail because the story is complicated and I don't want to ruin it with my basic writing skills. Just take my word for it...this drama is flipping amazing!!! And now I will use this time to put up some pictures of the beautiful cast :) Lee Jun Ki plays a complex (very pretty) character called Lee Soo Hyun:

Jung Kyung Ho plays the (adorable) step brother, Kang Min Ki who gets pulled into the twisted storyline: Nam Sang Mi plays the girl, Soo Ji Woo whos fate is entangled with the two male characters (but mostly Soo Hyun :P)

Another Pic of them all for good measure :)

Over last weekend I also watched some crazy good movies and here are their names:

My Girl and I - Sad movie, but very touching and has an uplifting ending. A story for those people who like romance and like to cry.

Babo - Oh my, this movie was just something else altogether and I broke down crying at the end, it is SO sad, but SO good. There isn't hardly any romance if any, but the story is good enough without it...arrgghh I loved it.

The King and the Clown - I don't really know how I feel about this film. The acting is superb, but the storyline was a bit too deep for my taste and the way the king drools over Lee Jun ki kind of freaked me out....Jun Ki is SOOO pretty in it though, I couldn't believe it. For those hardcore folks.

Shindo - A really cute movie about a music student's friendship with a gifted young girl. It made me want to play the piano after I'd finished watching it. Stars Matsuyama Kenichi of Deathnote (in which he plays L and is extremely awesome) and Narumi Riko an extremely talented young actress.

Nana - This movie was ok, not really my cup of tea, but entertaining enough. It relied on stereotypes too much I think. The two main actresses had really good chemistry though and I loved the way the two characters were totally opposite, but understood each other so well.

I just found out that the main actor from My Girl and I is also plays the lead character in Babo. Not only that, he is actually Mr-Sassy Girl himself, Cha Tae-hyun. What a great actor, I watched two films with him on the same day and didn't recognize it was the same person. I'm definately going to watch more of his movies.

Anyway I'm going to return to Time Between Dog and Wolf so please excuse me,

:P

Fly Daddy Fly

Tonight I watched a movie called Fly Daddy Fly. I didn't watch it for any particular reason, except for the fact that in stars Lee Jun Ki who happens to be my actor of the moment. I mean come on people, his teeth are so perfect and white (for those who dont know, I have a strange teeth fetish). When it comes to teeth (and looking completely perfect) it's safe to say that Jun Ki ticks all the boxes. Anyway, it was because of my fangirl-ish and I think, understandable, attraction to Lee Jun Ki that I came across this film and I'm glad to say I actually enjoyed it.

Basicly the story is about a father who's daughter is beaten up by a very horrible highschool boy who happens to be an upcoming boxer. In order to get his daughters honour back he teams up with a quite introverted young man who trains him up so he can beat the heck out of the young hoodlum who attacked her.

At first I was sceptical about the movie because it started off pretty tame and had not much soundrack music (an annoying thing I've noticed in quite a few Korean movies). Even so, being a patient person I kept watching and the story began to get quite entertaining (funnily enough it was when Jun Ki started becoming a regular in scenes, figures doesn't it?). The highlights of this movie are the scenes where the dad is training up and the actual boxing match at the ending. There is also a very cheesy, but nevertheless completely sweet moment where JunKi's character calls the main character 'Daddy'....twice!!!

Now that's a dazzling smile.....

Now I'm listening to young K-pop group SHINee. They are suprisingly addictive, especially since they are dongsengs. This shows you should never underestimate younger generations. I think as you get older you tend to think that your juniors are less talented and more brainless that yourself (usually it's completely the oppostite though...in my case anyway).

SHINee definately have a DBSK aura about them, but their talent stands out in the catchy songs, which include tiles such as Amigo, The SHINee World, Love Like Oxygen and Noona is So Pretty (replay, replay, reeeplay anyone?). I've not really gotten into their slower songs, but that might be just because of my taste. Anyway overall, this Noona is pretty impressed (not that pretty though :P).

Noona is so Pretty (Replay) - SHINee



Enjoy...goodnight!!!

Attack on the Pin-Up Boys

I added a new film to my 'I have watched this Korean movie' list today. The film is called Attack on the Pin Up Boys and stars the entirety of Super Junior, bar one I think (for those who don't know, SJ are a K Pop group with numerous members).

Anyhoo the film is possibly the wierdest most hilarious thing I have seen all day (maybe with the exception of my reflection in the mirror this morning, gross stuff). A quick summary of the storyline would be:

In a time when highschool students are bored witless a strange and exciting distraction appears...all the popular, handsome, talented, and smart young men are getting poo missiles chucked at them by an anonymous attacker. Who will be struck next? Who is the attacker? And, is it true that once hit, a person becomes more famous than ever could be imagined?

Sounds strange eh? It's actually a pretty old movie (well, 2007) but I did not discover my hallyu obsession until 2008 so thats why I only watched it today and not 2007.

To be honest, it's not a deep, meaningful, touching or emotional film, but it made me laugh...films with poo missiles tend to make me laugh. I guess its an asset in that it may help with remembering the SJ members names as well >_<

I'll leave you to count them all......

Another blog

I have a private blog and then I thought...what the hell, aren't blogs supposed to be public. To be honest though, I bet my private one is a hecka lot more interesting than this one will be. Lets see how it goes anyway.

Things this blog will disclose to the world:

My interest in all things Hallyu (Korean pop culture)

The events that occur during my life as a student

Random other stuff I pick up

My obsession with Asian dramas and all the other things that concur

And probably other stuff I can't be bothered mentioning at the moment....

I'm off now anyway... here is a free hug for you *hug*
