How Much I Like the SNSD Members

I like SNSD- most of them.




Seohyun:
I loved her after We Got Married. She's so educated about everything & responsible but it's like she doesn't know about the real world. She's not my favorite member but she is sweet & minds her own business so I like her a lot.


Hyoyeon:
I love Hyo. I think she's funny, out-going & just plain nice. I also likes how she doesn't try her best to always fit into the 'Princess' thing given to Girls' Generation (there, I typed it out lol). She's also friends with everyone else from what I can gather which says that she's very easy to get along with.


Yuri:
I actually REALLY like Yuri even though I thought she was really fake before. I think she's down to Earth & a pretty normal girl. Sure, she does come across as a tad fake sometimes but that's because she has to fit into the image given her. I think she has a wild streak & can be mean at times but so what? No one's perfect.


Yoona:
I adore her. I think she's really sweet. Sure, she does overdo it at times but I don't care. She is SO drop-dead gorgeous & so effing sweet that she can get away with anything. I really, really wish they'd stop putting her into the centre of their dances. Not because I disapprove - I don't, I think she really tries her best - but because there are those awful international fans who hate her & will hate on her more because of her centre-spot.
And Yoona deserves no hate <3


Sunny:
I like her well enough. I feel very sorry for her though. Her position in SNSD is the same as Sungmin's in SuJu. The forced aegyo which is so not their real personalities. They can sing & dance phenomenally but is always a tad behind the main dancers & main vocals. They're all-round talented & therefore REALLY underrated. I wish they gave her more screen time.


Sooyoung:
I really like Sooyoung. I feel she's like a mix of Hyoyeon & Sunny. Very friendly & all but with a rather snooty side to her. I don't mind. All these girls are so effing talented & beautiful & nice most of the time. They're SO allowed to be snooty once in a while. Sooyoung ftw!


Jessica:
I used to despise the Ice Princess but now I luuuuuuuurve her. I think she's sweet & very down-to-Earth. I'm also convinced she's dating Taecyeon which gives her bonus points for liking that dork. Ice Princess ftw! I think she used to be stuck-up but only because she was a tad immature. I think she's grown up into a wonderful lady now.


Uhhh & now for the 2 members I kind of don't like.


Taeyeon & Tiffany.


Oh look at that! The famous pairing TaeNy.
-_____-


Tiffany:
She used to be my favorite but she comes across as really fake to me. Don't get me wrong, I think she must be a genuinely nice person in real life but does she have to be so fake? She was brought up in the States - it's okay if she acts the way she normally does. She only acts fake sometimes to be honest. Oh & I think her eye-smiles are fake. Does that even make sense?
I might be wrong.
She is undeniably talented though


Taeyeon:
I think she's really proud. This might be because I saw these stories where she had apparently said she doesn't need SNSD or something? I'm not sure if this is true but still. I get the vibe that if she wished, she'd just up & leave SNSD because she so knows she's talented enough to totally make it as a solo artist.
I don't think she's mean to anyone or anything. She's probably a very polite person but I also think she can be bland at times.


SIGH~
SOMEONE CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE! SHOW ME HOW AMAZING THEY ARE!

I want to see why everyone adores these girls to death...

Time wasted, a movie watched, miles walked & memories created

Our regular meetup whenever Julian comes down to the Land Like No Other was today &, like I used to do when I was in school, I will blog about it! :D

So I met Julian outside the church, after waiting for 10 minutes & we took a trishaw all the way to Mac because Ash was already there & Avi was on the way. After we got there, we called Atheeq & reminded him to show up.

We stayed there for some time after Avi came, waiting for Atheeq who was 'hungover' from last night's drinking & from there, we went to MC, had lunch, watched MIB 3, walked around a bit & came home by bus.

Avi had major problems with Atheeq...
She said he's so proud & all, that he had become a douchebag.

For once, I disagree...

He was always a bit like that except now he has other friends so that side of his personality has had a bit more freedom to express itself.
It always feels to me like he's trying SO hard to be this person he has in head - his definition of a cool guy. I wouldn't particularly mind but I have a feeling that all his current friends secretly laugh at him or don't appreciate him as much as we used to.

Ashan is still the same.

Julian has become a bit more out-going.

Avi is still the same, except I get this feeling she has become a bit more mature.

We bumped into half our school guys there, including Saku. He didn't even speak to me & I got the idea hee didn't like my talking to him so I left. Bumped into Lahiru but couldn't even speak to him because I blew him off for Saku which I regret... I should apologize to him the next time I see him or he might spread rumors about me.

Or not. He's a lovely guy.

We met a Korean friend of Ashan's.She was really sweet & hyper. I almost squealed when I understood everything her mother told her & went...

What else, what else?

Oh yeah,  MIB3.
I loved it.

I've always loved the Men In Black movies & this one was no disappointer. It confused me a weeny bit with the time travel initially but it was insignificant so I enjoyed the movie.

All in all, a very pleasant day.

Hey I'm Back!

I have not posted here recently since I moved to tumblr a few months back.
But it is very easy for your actual blog posts to get lost in the avalanche of posts so I thought I'd return to blogspot.

I have missed you, my dear.

ANYWAYS.

Expect more posts here about my life. It's more like a diary so I can remember what goes on in my life so I don't expect anyone to see it lol

BYE FOR NOW~

Dramas I Have Watched

FULL HOUSE with Rain & Song Hye Kyo

Being the first K-Drama I have watched, I had no idea what to expect. But Full House turned out to be as great as the reviews suggested. It is extremely funny and the characters are lovable. If you're a fan of K-Drama or just shows with a lot of humor & cute I-Love-You-but-can't-tell-you scenes, this is definitely one to watch.

HANA YORI DANGO with Matsumoto Jun, Inoue Mao & Oguri Shun

It is very different from its Korean counterpart though I still can't decide which is better. This version is edgier and actually a tad more believable than the Korean version but each one has its plus & minus points. Watch for yourself & decide.

PLAYFUL KISS with Kim Hyun Hoong & Jung So Min
The entire drama is about a dumb but hard-working girl who has fallen in love with an arrogant genius. Most of it is pitiful, the way she goes running after him with no self-respect. But parts of it are really cute. Especially when he realizes he likes her back as well - but only after he has broken her heart & it's her absence which causes him to realize it. The drama is very infuriating but any girl out there will feel her pain but most of us will also deride her for the way she goes licking his footprints.

But she gets him. So where does our derision get us?

The drama was just meh but it's still a must-watch, I suppose.

YAMATO NADESHIKO SHICHI HENGE with Kamenashi Kazuya, Oomasa Aya, Tegoshi Yuya, Uchi Hiroki & Miyao Shuntaro
It was...ok. Nice at some parts but they SERIOUSLY ridicule & overdo the Gothic parts. But then again, she never says outright she likes Gothic stuff - only horror.

I thought Kamenashi Kazuya's character had depth - backed by a very unrealistic story - which was unpleasantly contrasted by the shallow girl. Honestly, just because some guy said she was ugly, she throws her entire life away.

BUT.

This drama is so effing hilarious. At some points, you have no idea what happened but you'll still laugh like a lunatic. The drama is good for some laughs and there is some significance to it.

PERSONAL TASTE with Lee Minho & Son Yejin

I'm not particularly sure who this drama's target audience was. It's a mix of juvenile humor, depth & sexuality in a way that I can't imagine it being meant for just one type of viewer. It was actually nice but HOW she could mistake him for being gay, I can't imagine. Also, the girl's character developed in a very weird way. She started the drama off as a happy-go-lucky girl who's so down-trodden but goes on with life despite everything but towards the end, started acting very serious and as though the weight of the world was on her shoulders...

There are some laughs. The love-line wasn't as nice as I'd normally wish for.

In fact, the only significant part was the relationships between Gae In, In Hee & Changryul. It was actually believable but again, Chang Ryul switched from being a blabbering sop into a refined gentleman but it was actually believable.

There are some very funny scenes but if it wasn't for Lee Minho & the element of homosexuality, I would never have watched this drama & I would never have looked back.

KKOTBODA NAMJA with Gu Hye Sun, Lee Minho & Kim Hyun Joong

The second K-Drama I ever watched, I immediately fell in love with the characters. Credit goes to the marvelous acting skills of these five actors because even though their characters are majorly flawed, they still come across as likable. It's very glamorous and improbable but that's the beauty of it. It's very cute & even those of us who dislike soppy, lovey-dovey shows will end up liking this. I guarantee it.

COMPLETED THIS POST WHICH HAS SAT AS A DRAFT FOR OVER A YEAR

I have watched some more dramas after these:

You're Beautiful, Hana Kimi, City Hunter, Protect The Boss, Secret Garden, Dream High, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, Scent of a Woman, Skip Beat, 49 Days, Vampire Prosecutor, Rooftop Prince.

My favorite is definitely City Hunter.

WATCH IT.

Top 10 Best Male Rappers in KPop

KPop has enough and more unbelievably talented singers but since almost every group inevitably includes a rapper whose inclusion into that particular group might not have been based on his ability to rap, but rather, his dancing skills or outward appearance, really good rappers are hard to come by.

• T.O.P from Big Bang

While one of the hottest men in KPop, T.O.P is actually one of the best rappers ever!

His raspy voice delivers all the energy necessary to convey the emotions of his rap verses. He also has a unique way of enunciating his words, making his rap sharp & abrasive. One would think that this style would only suit verses which incorporate angry emotions but he is able to do the same for hip-hop songs (High High), sad songs (My Heaven) & cute songs (Lollipop) as well as angry verses (Haru Haru).

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXUSJDXzreA

• G Dragon from Big Bang

G Dragon & TOP, the rapping duo of Big Bang, are so that Big Bang has the best rapping skills of any KPop group.

While TOP brings out emotion, G Dragon brings out pure energy in his rap verses. Having the uninhibited liveliness of a 6 year old, the leader of Big Bang not only writes most of their songs, he composes them. He has also collaborated with FloRida who is said to be a big fan of G Dragon.

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igmcubck3ec

• Mir from MBLAQ

The youngest in MBLAQ & probably the loudest, brattiest idol in all of KPop, Mir still raps pretty darn good. He probably unleashes all his insanity into his rap verses and it comes across as good. Though he is a Number 1 nutcase, Mir is totally able to rap even sentimental verses but the thought of him actually being so is absolutely laughable. The ever-present whininess in his voice also adds to the loveliness...for once.

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuwSTPX2hyY&feature=related

• CAP from Teen Top

19 year old leader of Teen Top, he's silent, yet rules the other 4 boys like a true leader. Looking at his appearance & behavior, one would expect him to have a strong & firm style of rapping but CAP raps like any other energetic 19 year old boy - or man, I expect. His voice has high notes & low notes & even he enunciates clearly - but not quite as sharply - as TOP.

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boQFnQAaCZc [CAP's rap at 2:28]

• Chansung from 2PM

Maknae of 2PM, Chansung brings out his personality in his rapping verses. In songs such as Again & Again, his playful side is revealed despite the solemnity of the lyrics, unexpectedly lending an air of sincerity to the song. In Heartbeat, his maturity despite his young age is brought out. But whatever song it is, his energy is always apparent.

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLiLn91TKzc [Chansung's rap at 2:30-2:46]

• Junhyung from BEAST

One of my favourite rappers to start off with, due to his amazing performance in Shock, Junhyung has also remained one of the best rappers out there. He can rap with maximum energy (Change)as well as with infinite tenderness (Lights Go On Again). If you need a rapper with total Chocoballs-ish attitude, it's Yong Junhyung.

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1D-j5jEwIQ&feature=relmfu [He raps the beginning]

• Yunho from TVXQ

While not necessarily one of the best rappers out there, no one can deny that he is talented. Plus, he is the rapper from the best KPop group (along with SuJu) ever. Yunho's specialty is similar to that of SHINee's Jonghyun. He can easily change his voice, tone & style to suit the song he sings. While possessing a nasally voice that he couples with a deliberate enunciation that makes him sound like he's sounding it out for a 2 year old. He can rap for hot songs (Mirotic), easy songs (Wrong Number) as well as songs such as Purple Line & Keep Your Head Down.

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djJb5iSL0Do [You can recognize Yunho. Fullstop.]

• Kim Heechul from Super Junior

Heechul is not the rapper of Super Junior, nor does he get many rap parts in their songs. But as for attitude, power & energy, he has it all. Together with a voice that is suited for heavier songs than that sung by Super Junior, Heechul has an undeniable edge in his voice apparent to those who know him, because it emanates from everything he does, including his rapping.

• Key from SHINee

SHINee suffers from the problem that I mentioned in the introduction. Minho is obviously one of the best-looking guys out there but his rapping could really use a lot of work. So SHINee is lacking in the rapping department but they don't see what a jewel they have in Key. He isn't called Almighty Key for nothing. He's one of the best vocalists, dancers AND a great rapper to boot. When Key raps, it's always with maximum attitude brought out by the ever-present attitude in his voice. But I don't want to hear him rap in songs, I want to hear his breath-taking voice singing. Stupid SMEnt. They reduced his lines & his screen-time altogether just to prevent the others from being outshone. But I'm not going to rant about SMEnt here.

Kudos to the Almighty Key!

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odBtHOAKTTw&feature=related [Key's lines are in Pink]

• Taecyeon from 2PM

2PM really do have great rappers in Taec & Chansung.

Different from Chansung whose rap incorporates his youthful energy, Taec's rapping brings out his manliness. His upbringing in the US gives him a slight accent & different rapping style from normal KPop rappers but heck, it still sounds great. But aw his rapping makes him seem stupid, which he might be, I'm not sure

D'AWW TAECYEON BABY! ♥

Eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKtvDv7eykg [Taec raps right at the beginning]

KPop & Driving Comments

"You can drive??"

"Of course, but you might die."

"You know how to drive?"

"Yes. I just get into accidents a lot"

"Ahh! Hyung, that was a red light!"
"No, that was a green light!"

"Obviously, you would think so!"

"Yes, I think so."

You can't help but adore them!

"Jaebum's driving is similar to that required to drive bumper cars"
