After the end of Descendants of the Sun, there come Love in the Moonlight (or can also be known as Moonlight Drawn by Clouds). Park Bo Gum fever is here to continue the Song Joong Ki fever. Of course, both are equally heart capturing.
The first drama that I watched Park Bo Gum was Nodame Cantabille. I knew he is such a sweetheart from then. Back to moonlight, watching the drama is such a pleasant to my eyes. Pretty boys and lovely girls, lovely dovey moments, heart-melting eyes, and everything good. Words aren't enough to describe. B1A4's Jinyoung is there too. How sweet!
2014 is coming to an end soon and everyone, I guess is anticipating this month of December mostly because of Christmas. I bet couples already have a list of what to do, where to go, what to eat, what present to be given to their other half. I am not sure whether you have already know, but there is an additional day where Korean couples celebrate in Korea.
Koreans have a specific day every month to do a specific thing. It is a mid-month celebrations for couples in Korea. To be specific, the said day is the 14th of every month. I don't actually know this beforehand until I saw a post on Allkpop. You may check the post and its explanation of each specific day here.
For easy referencing, I have list down the mid-month celebration as follow:
Jan 14th - Diary Day Feb 14th - Valentine's Day Mac 14th - White Day Apr 14th - Black Day May 14th - Yellow Day / Rose Day June 14th - Kiss Day July 14th - Silver Day Aug 14th - Green Day Sept 14th - Photo Day/ Music Day Oct 14th - Wine Day Nov 14th- Movie Night Dec 14th - Hug Day
I am not sure about what you think on this mid-month celebrations practiced by Koreans but I find it quite pretty and it isn't a bad idea to celebrate it. And actually Korea couple don't just show their affection on these particular days, they actually show it all-year-long. Koreans couples, be it man or woman, they are not afraid or shame in showing off their affections publicly. You may easily spot couples with matching clothes, shoes, bags or whatever you can mention. For singles, you need to be mentally strong enough to walk on the streets in Korea or else you will be defeated by endless of jealousy and envious, and mostly loneliness.
Since it's December now, let's talk a bit on it. Actually I have never anticipated the coming of December since 5 years ago. I know that most people anticipated December because of Christmas. I once thought December will be a month I anticipated much beside January (my birth month). However, everything changed 5 years ago, which was also the year where I anticipated the coming of December more than ever.
Dec 24th, Christmas Eve, an excuse where people use to gather around for celebration. Be it with your family, friends or special half. 5 years ago, that day used to be meaningful for me because it will be a day where I not only get to exchange present with other, it was also a day where I will celebrate the birth day of someone whom I used to love so dearly. Dec 24th is my ex's birthday. While I was still scratching my head to come out with a special events to make him happy, on this very Dec 14th he decided to put an end towards our relationship.
5 years had passed, but this Dec 14th is still clearly embedded in my mind and heart. NO, it's not that I am still clinging to him, I have gotten over him. It's just that that particular day, the memory I had is way too difficult to just let it go. It all started 5 years ago where I, subconsciously will be emo during every December. To be honest, there was a time where I hated December very much.
For this fifth year, when I get to know that Dec 14th is a Hug Day (it's freezing winter in Korea, so you hug people to give warm) I could imagine how lonely it is for singles on this particular day. No no, I am not being too emo this time (though it is better to have someone hugging you). After my long time from Korea this autumn, something has change my mindset. Being singles isn't bad after all. I get to know people regardless of sex, need to worry if I try to pick on any Korean guy or adoring any guy. Or another word, I do not have to worry, or I should say I have the right to flirt with any guy I am interested in (of course if only the guy is single too).
Though I would love to date someone now, I think it is better for me to stay being single for the moment. For those who are currently in a relationship, may you have a good Christmas with your loved ones and do not forget to give him/her a hug on Dec 14th. For those who are single like me, may you get to find someone special this Christmas. Happy December peeps!
p/s : Yes, I went to Korea this autumn and I had an amazing Korea tour (as you may see from the picture above where I took a picture with a quite ok Korean guy). I am not sure when I will finish blog about it and I will try to make time for it. Till then, see ya! n_n
It has been such a long time that I finally attended a concert by my favourite act. For those who know me, you should have know that I am a hug fan of TVXQ. I am proud to be known as cassiopeia. But one things that kept make me sad was that I did not event attend their concert once though they were here twice for concert. Many people asked me why I never attend their concert as it was so awesome. I could answer you I wanted to attend desperately. However, I am not born in a family that could understand why I am willing to spend tens of ringgit for a cd album where I could get a pirated one at RM5 each, not to mention about spending hundreds of ringgit for a concert where I gained nothing. And at that time, TVXQ were here for concert when I was still in secondary school. I don't own that much of money and also transport for the concert. What I could do was waiting for news coverage on TV and newspaper for the concert.
My mum once scolded me for non-stop buying TVXQ albums. It was when I showed her a picture of the album and told her I wanna buy that. I was 16 at that time, and each time before I buy something "expensive" (by expensive I mean it's over RM50), I will tell her first as if I am getting her permission to do so. Well, you can say I am being rebellious because despite of my mum's scolding, I will still proceed in buying TVXQ albums. As time goes by, my mum already accepted that I will buy TVXQ original album as she sometimes accompany me going to Speedy or Rock Corner to have a look at those CD albums. I was once hesitating whether I should buy the Asia version or the imported from Korea version of TVXQ 1st album as the Korea version was double the price of the Asia one. Surprisingly, my mum said it's up to me to buying which one instead of asking me to buy the cheaper one. Because of this, I realized that my mum has already accepted the fact that I won't buy non-original TVXQ albums. My mum does know that I buy lots of TVXQ album, but she didn't know exactly how many I own and how much I had spent on it. If she know I bought that TONE album for RM90, I will be dead meat.
Back to story, finally TVXQ is coming for a concert after 6 years. I finally have the chance to attend it and I have the transport to the venue. I knew I will get scolded so I bought the ticket without telling any of my family members. Until it was like 5 days before the D-day, I only told them I am attending the concert. And of course I got a little lecture even though I am going for the cheapest one. Imagine if I go for rock zone!!! But then, for sure my mum know I like TVXQ very much. Although she gave me lecture on it, I knew that she cares for me very much, she just doesn't want me to spend money recklessly. She actually worried that I will get lost on the way to Shah Alam. Oh well, for TVXQ, I gotta go no matter what.
The concert started around 6.10pm. And TVXQ came on stage in white suit. Yes! Real prince charming in white appeared on stage. Oh ya, before that, I must explain that I will be talking more on U-know Yunho as he is my fav. Max Changmin is awesome too, it's just that I can't take my eyes off Yunho. I have always wanted to watch their performances of Rising Sun, Mirotic and O Jung Ban Hap without JYJ. Please don't get misunderstand, I just wanted to know how they can perform the whole song with just the two of them. And yes, TVXQ did not disappoint anyone while performing those songs. It is just so awesome. The stage still look so small to me even though there were just two of them.
During their solo part, Yunho performed Honey Funny Bunny. And I never expected he could do those kind of dance. OMG, it's just so smexy!! I was shouting like crazy when he did that! OMG!! I became crazy again when the screen showing VCR of him giving Sulli a peck at the cheek while Before U Go was playing as the background music. Actually I wanted to watch the whole performance of Before U Go, but the performance was just so little for that song. That was the only part where I am a little bit disappointed because I love that songs very much.
Concert won't be perfect without some cute props. Mini planes were brought on stage and TVXQ took a ride on it. The plane was supposed to bring TVXQ to the front stage and landed there, but the one that Yunho rode on experienced some technical problem and it was hanging on air while it was landing. And yes, this kid decided to jump down from the plane as it wasn't going to land at all. I was worried like mad when he jumped down. All the fans including me kept chanting "andwae" but he still jump down. Luckily he was not hurt at all.
There was a time where Yunho was running like a kid on stage. And at that moment, something just popped up in my mind. Where else can I find a more perfect man other than Yunho? He is charismatic, he has the charm to melt everyone's heart, he can be strict and fierce and yet he is cute. I love his solo dancing part where he did handstand. I knew he will do that but I din expect that he did that in that white suit. Oh my prince charming!!! By the way, Changmin is just so cute! He may be a grown up now, but deep in cassies' hearts, he is still the maknae!! Haha.
I was a bit emotional when they sang medley of their old songs and when the VCR playing footage of their old days. My friend beside me dropped her tears during that VCR. That VCR could be longer if it weren't for the split (Homin and JYJ). I hold back my tears because I don't want to be ugly duckling during the concert. I think that I should be happy as I finally attended their concert!! n_n
Fan chant for Mirotic was awesome!!! I am proud to be part of that. And I am also proud to be part of the red ocean. It was amazing! The hand held banner is meaningful! I am glad that I do not miss this concert. I fell more in love with TVXQ and Yunho now.
On another, I found an iPhone when I was about to leave the stadium. Oh well, to be exact, it was the cassies in front of me found that phone and asked whether it belongs to me or my friends. It wasn't ours and that cassies kept on asking what to do with that phone. My friends were rushing to airport and I know that cassies was also rushing. So I decided to take care of that phone and I managed to return that phone to its owner. Luckily the phone owner didn't lock her phone with password, or else I couldn't contact her on the spot. Haha, be more careful next time ya, the iPhone owner!! n_n
For all the pictures here, credit on the picture itself ya!
Please don't be surprised with the title of this post! I have yet to find another half of me, so I am still single and available. I am going to talk bout a new heartthrob of mine, and yes it refers to Korean boy band, Teen Top! All of them are my 동생!! I somehow feel so old.
Teen Top, a boyband comprises of six members which are C.A.P, Chunji, Niel, L.Joe, Ricky and Changjo. They debuted in July 2010 but they only come to my attention when they released the song No More Perfume On You (향수 뿌리지마) on 2011. I have always remember and recognize Niel because he sings the most and has an unique voice.
Then, I enjoyed listening to their new songs like Crazy (미치겠어) and Be My Girl (나랑 사귈래?). And yes, of course I can now remember all their names and recognize all their faces, just that Niel and Chunji catch my attention more. Why? All I can say is Niel and Chunji sing a lot and their screen time is longer than other members.
Now in 2013, they finally released their first regular album and their main song is Miss Right (긴 생머리 그녀). THIS SONG IS VERY ADDICTIVE!! The Korean song name means that girl with long and straight hair. I was once told by my Korean friends that most Korean guys love girl with long and straight hair (That's me!!). So this song is about that girl with long and straight hair. LOL...seems like literally translation.
Upon watching this MV, I knew that I am gonna fall deeply in love with these boys. They are so funny, funky, charming, charismatic and handsome in the MV. And yes, now L.Joe catches my attention with his bleached pink hair. The more I watched the MV, the more I love him. I love the part where he rap and deeply in love with his style in the locker room version.
With just a long sleeve black tee and a orange jumpsuit plus an orange bandana, L.Joe is just so stylish. In Chinese, we call it 型!!! I was so into them that I downloaded three different videos of them for this song. I just can't keep my eyes off on L.Joe. If I were able to date with a guy like L.Joe, how happy will I be? Too bad, he is younger than I am. Because of him, I am considering whether I should accept a guy younger than me as my boyfie. Should I? I have seen a guy in real life where he has the ability to be that cool. But then, he is younger than me as well.
Anyway, please give much LOVE to Teen Top!! And don't steal L.Joe from me just because you fall in love with him too after watching the MV. "♥Oh My Heartthrobs" will be a continuing series of posts on guys that make me fall in love with them. I will be blogging on other guys next time. Stay tune to see which guys steal my heart!!
After covering Red Soul on 13th, I am tempted to cover their showcase for the second day. This time, the showcase is at Bentley Music. To be honest, I am really grateful to cover the events on both day. Now I am able to drink to Giza Mall and Curve there all by myself. Back to the event, I think this is the sweetest moment of my life, can say that it makes my dream comes true.
When I reach the venue, ME told me that the concept for today is 'Intimate' so there won't be any registration for media, nor special place. We can just sit anywhere to enjoy the music and get closer to Red Soul. Oh well, Migo and I sat at the front row (again n_n) and it's really really close to the stage. We know we couldn't take any nice pictures cause of the angle but we are reluctant to move to the back cause too many people already waiting there.
So the show started and I am still sitting at the front row. I am so close to them and can see them very very clearly!At this moment, I am already very addicted to them. I have to admit that all of them are getting cheekier and cuter from yesterday. Hanulyi knows how to pose and catch all the cameraman's attention well. Alright, out of the 5 members, I like him the most. I ADMIT I LOVE HANDSOME GUYS. I kept on taking pictures of him and I know he realize that. And I purposely kept on taking pictures of him in hoping he will realize that I love him, LOL.
As I mentioned earlier, my dream comes true on this day. Why? I always have this dream that a guy(whom I like) will propose to me by kneeling down and sing a song to me. This is one sweet dream which I pray hard for it to happen one day. And I guess that day has come.
Red Soul is performing the song, Ting. In the chorus part, they will have the audience to join in and sang "부드럽게 달콤하게". They explains it means "softly" (gently) and "sweetly". While singing this song, Hanulyi certainly knows to how let the audience went shouting for him, only him. He makes a lot gestures and that makes us scream!!! During his solo part, he purposely stand one step forward to indicate it's his part. So for sure, I kept on snapping pictures of him. I know he saw me snapping pictures of him.
You may ask how do I know. Let me explain. There is once, after I took a photo of him, from my camera screen, I saw him looking directly at my camera, as if I have direct eye contact with him. I was stunned and I put down my camera and just look at him. And so his solo "부드럽게 달콤하게" part reaches, he jumps down from the stage and stop right in front of me. At first, I thought "Yes, he comes so near so I can take a close up picture of him!!". But I never know that he will kneel right in front of me, hold my hand and serenade me with "부드럽게 달콤하게". At that moment, I can't really hear anything except the loud shouting from behind of me. I can only smile, and that's what I can do. Upon seeing this, Ki Hyun also jump down from the stage, hold my other hand and sing. I have no idea whom I should look at, but I just can't leave my eyes from Hanulyi. (Ki Hyun 오빠 , 미안해). Actually that moment only lasted a few seconds, but at the time, I feel like forever. Hanulyi ended it with a kiss on my hand. OH MY DEAR, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A HANDSOME GUY(KOREAN SOMEMORE) KNEEL DOWN, HOLD MY HAND AND SING TO ME, AND A KISS TOO!!
Hanulyi holds my hand, n_n
My heart flutters because of him. Though it's a bit different from my dream, it's already a paradise for me. I am very sure that in the future when Red Soul gets more famous, there won't be any special moment like this anymore. I have no idea what to say anymore, typing the post is like making me think of the sweet moment again and I am in cloud nine now. I just can't stop smiling. A handsome guy who is cute and can sing well, where else can I find a guy like him other than Korea? Haha...I just love Koreans so much.
I will end this post with a video that records my sweet sweet moment. Thank Yevon for recording and uploading it. Thank you very much!! Annyeong!! n_n
